The Pokémon Company is hosting a morning livestream on February 27 at 9AM ET to share the "latest news and updates" from Pikachu and pals. You can stream it via the official YouTube channel. This is the yearly Pokémon Presents event that typically provides info on whats coming to empty our wallets throughout the year (and beyond.) So what can we expect this year? Both The Pokémon Company and Nintendo remain tight-lipped, but we can make some educated guesses. Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the follow-up to the open-world Pokémon Legends: Arceus, was announced in early 2024. Its high time we got some more details on the upcoming game. The title was originally advertised as a Switch exclusive, but now that the Switch 2 is on our radar, maybe itll be a dual-release or something. We could get that information, along with an announcement regarding the games trio of starter Pokémon. Theres a new Pokémon TGC set arriving in May. Its called Destined Rivals, so we can expect a detailed look at this update. We might even get a tease for another set down the line. Pokémon cards, both digital and physical, are still very much a big deal. To that end, we could get details regarding new features for TGC Pocket. Pokémon GO's next season starts on March 4, which is just a few days after the stream. Well most definitely get a trailer for that, along with some updates on any new features. Beyond that, its a guessing game. Hope springs eternal that well finally get those remakes of Pokémon Black and White. In any event, February 27 is right around the corner.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/theres-a-pokemon-presents-livestream-scheduled-for-february-27-171813096.html?src=rss

In a powerful reimagining of historically exploitative industries, Memphis-based coffee company Cxffeeblack and sustainable textile brand COMOCO Cotton have joined forces to create a limited-edition t-shirt that transforms cotton and coffee into vehicles for Black economic empowerment. The God Don't Make No Junk t-shirt combines COMOCO's cotton, grown by Black farmers, with natural dyes made from Cxffeeblack's Ethiopian-sourced Guji Mane coffee.The partnership brings together two organizations working to reshape their respective industries from the ground up. COMOCO Cotton operates within a 150-mile radius for its entire production process, from farm to finished garment, boosting the local economy while drastically reducing energy consumption. Meanwhile, Cxffeeblack established the first entirely Black coffee supply chain from Ethiopia to Tennessee and runs educational initiatives like a barista exchange program between Africa and the United States."Cotton and coffee built global economies on Black labor. It's time for them to build Black futures," says Stephen Satterfield, founder of COMOCO Cotton and host of Netflix's High on the Hog. The project aims to demonstrate how Black creatives can reclaim supply chains and reshape industries through ownership and cultural autonomy. The t-shirts are available for preorder now and are priced at USD 85, which includes a small bag of Guji Mane coffee and a free download of the Cxffee Makes You Black album.

The Google Pixel 8a mid-tier smartphone is back on sale for $399 via Amazon. This is close to a record-low price and represents a discount of 20 percent. Even better? The sale applies to multiple colorways, including mint green, light blue and white. This deal is for the 128GB model. This device topped our list of the best mid-range smartphones, and with good reason. Its a well-designed phone that gets the job done. It features a powerful Tensor G3 chip, offers support for Google Gemini AI tools and includes an excellent camera system. The 120Hz OLED display is gorgeous and the battery life is on point. We called the Pixel 8a one of the best values of any phone on sale today in our official review, and that was at the original $499 asking price. Its especially well-valued with todays sale. We even enjoyed gaming with this device, which isnt always the case with mid-range phones. The 8a also comes with IP67 dust and water resistance and 7.5-watt Qi wireless charging. There arent any major downsides to this phone, though we do have a couple of nitpicks. The wireless charging, while convenient, is pretty slow. The display bezels are also on the thicker side, so you lose some precious screen real estate. Other than that, this is a near-perfect mid-range phone. Its also a full $200 cheaper than Apples just-announced budget smartphone, the iPhone 16e.
