Playing Pokémon TCG Pocket isn’t just about winning battles against your friends or building the best deck — there are a set of missions to beat in between all that. While Pokémon TCG Pocket has an array of normal missions for players to complete, there are a few secret missions that are hidden but discovered after completion.

Upon beating these missions, a good chunk of rewards is in store for you. These missions aren’t as simple as logging in or winning a battle — they’ll take you some time to complete, and without this guide to help you, you won’t know the requirements for it.

This new Analogue Pocket looks just like my actual Game Boy Color
Six Analogue Pockets lined up in a row with Game Boy Color colors.

Analogue is unleashing yet another nostalgic Pocket onto the world. The handheld manufacturer announced Tuesday that it's releasing a limited-edition Game Boy Color line that'll go on sale September 12 on its website and start shipping on September 16.

The new Analogue Pocket comes in six nostalgic colors: kiwi, teal, grape, gold, berry, and dandelion. I can't speak for how accurate most of the colors are, but I still have my purple Game Boy Color, and the grape color looks delightfully similar. It just has the Pocket's more modern display.

Astro Bot rides on a PS5 controller.

Not only has Astro Bot shot its way up to become one of the best PlayStation 5 games, but it is also in the conversation for the best 3D platformer among the likes of Mario. Besides the great graphics, tight platforming, and creative levels and powers, there are tons of things to collect in each world. Bots are the most common, and puzzle pieces are a bit more rare, but it is the secret exits that will have you scratching your head. There are only 10 of these in the entire game, with two per nebula. If you want to collect every Trophy, you will need to track them all down, so we'll point you in the right direction of every secret exit.

star wars outlaws interview returning characters qi ra

Unlike most other Ubisoft games, or even most RPGs for that matter, you don't level up and unlock skills as you would expect to in Star Wars Outlaws. You won't earn any points or find a skill tree waiting for you here, but rather the new Experts system. As you explore the galaxy and meet new people while hunting for treasures, you will encounter special characters called Experts who are willing to help Kay expand her skills. Well, once you find and help them out, that is. Without their help, you're stuck with your basic abilities for the whole game, so taking a break from your main quest to find them is well worth your time. The galaxy is a big place, so we'll tell you where to find each of the Experts in Star Wars Outlaws.
How learning new skills works

As we mentioned, you won't find yourself leveling up after completing missions or dispatching enemies. The only way to learn any new skills is through finding an Expert.
