The Pokemon count is only increasing each day as the franchise reaches its 20th anniversary. But before closing out 2015, The Pokemon Company has unveiled the latest Mythical Pokemon to join the pocket monster roster. It's Volcanion, the steam Pokemon!

As its descriptor implies, Volcanion is the first-ever dual Water and Fire-type Pokemon. Using its fire and water abilities to create steam within its body, Volcanion devastates opposing Pokemon with its boiling steam.

How can Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire owners pick up Volcanion? That has not yet been revealed. In the meantime, the next Pokemon movie, Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, is set to premier on Cartoon Network this Saturday at 6PM EST. Coincidentally, Hoopa remains available for pickup at McDonalds through December 23, in case anyone's craving a hash brown.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
