The Pokemon Company is collaborating with artist Daniel Arsham to host a series of exhibitions in Tokyo this year. The exhibition also comes with the new "A Ripple in Time" animated short, which shows Celebi transporting Ash and Pikachu into the far future. The full version of the animated short will appear at one of the exhibition locations in Tokyo starting February 12, 2022. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The exhibition's core concept revolves around the fictional archaeology of Pokemon using materials like quartz crystal and bronze. Some locations will also feature bronze castings of Pokemon trading cards like Charizard and Blastoise, among others. Other locations will showcase sketches and "field research" of these crystallized Pokemon. Furthermore, the Nanzuka Underground exhibition will also sell merchandise such as crystal figures and plush.

The main attraction is the animated short, which Daniel Arsham produced in collaboration with 1997 Pokemon anime series director Kunihiko Yuyama. The animated short begins with Ash and Pikachu engaged in a battle with another trainer. When Pikachu's thunderbolt almost strikes Celebi, the mythical Pokemon uses its time-traveling ability to transport Ash and Pikachu into the future.

You can check out the Pokemon A Ripple in Time animated short teaser below.

Below is a list of all exhibition locations and dates:

Kadokawa Games released a few interesting statistics about its upcoming mecha strategy JRPG Relayer.

We learn that the game includes 20 playable characters plus 20 NPCs. The maximum number of characters you can deploy in a mission is 12, but you can control up to 16.

There are 106 different battle cutscenes and 20 jobs you can level up (5 for each of the four classes of mecha).

There are 373 skills in total including 169 passive and 204 active. You can collect 1128 weapons and you can get modified and legendary weapons.

Lastly, you can equip 120 custom armor chips.

Below you can find the specific tweet.

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released update alpha 3.16.1 to backers of the growing space simulator and a couple of interesting videos.

The first video focuses on the derelicts implemented in 3.16.1 alongside laser trip mines, and on future versions that add different ship types and complexity.

We also get to see more future content including several ships like the Drake Vulture, the RSI Scorpius, the MISC Hull A, the Banu merchantman, and the Drake Corsair.

The second video stars Senior Concept Artist Fred Dupere as he works on a possible derelict location.

A PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 may be on the way.

Though right now it's just a rumour sparked by an early sighting of the game on PlayStation's store database, Twitter account PlayStation Game Size - which routinely, and accurately, provides us with early information about the file size and release dates of upcoming titles - believes the PS5 version of the game will release in "mid-February - early-March".

A French supermarket has put up a notice in its gaming section to advise prospective buyers that Microsoft now owns Call of Duty publisher, Activision.

It comes in the wake of Microsoft's shock announcement that it plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, prompting this retailer to seemingly notify customers shopping for PS5 hardware to "choose [their console] machine carefully".

The Hisuian Voltorb will appear in Pokemon GO starting January 30, 2022. This is the first time the Hisuian form of a Pokemon has appeared in the game, following the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The Hisuian Voltorb will begin spawning after the end of the Team GO Rocket Power Plant event. There is no confirmed end date. [Thanks, Serebii!]

The Hisuian form will spawn alongside the normal version of Voltorb. As in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the Hisuian form will be both an Electric and Grass type. However, players will not be able to evolve it into an Electrode. There is no indication of whether or not it will be able to evolve at a later date. Its appearance comes alongside a new Special Research task that lets players encounter the Hisuian Voltorb and catch it.

Earlier this week, Niantic added costumes for player avatars based on the protagonist's clothing in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, available to all players. Though the Hisuian Voltorb is currently the only Pokemon from Arceus to appear in Pokemon GO, Niantic has also added dozens of Pokemon from other recent titles such as Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Pokemon GO is immediately available on iOS and Android devices. The Hisuian Voltorb will start spawning in the game on January 30, 2022, at 10 a.m. local time.
