If you're into Pokémon, you know the pain. News drops across a dozen sites — Serebii, PokeBeach, PokeJungle, NintendoLife, Dexerto — and by the time you check them all, you've already missed something.
So I automated it.
What I Built
A Telegram channel called Pokémon News Pulse that aggregates news from 14 different sources and delivers it every 15 minutes. One feed, everything you need.
The Sources
Here's everything it monitors:
Dedicated Pokémon Sites:
- Serebii.net (scraped — no RSS available)
- PokeBeach.com (scraped — RSS blocked)
- PokeJungle
- PokePatch
- Pokémon GO Hub
Gaming News (filtered for Pokémon):
- Dexerto
- NintendoLife
- NintendoEverything
- ScreenRant
- IGN
- Kotaku
- Polygon
- GameSpot
Search Queries (SearXNG):
- "Pokémon news today"
- "Pokémon TCG Pocket news"
- "Pokémon GO update news"
- "Pokémon Legends news"
- "Pokémon games announcement"
- "Pokémon anime news"
How It Works
Every 15 minutes, a Python script:
- Pulls the latest stories from all 14 RSS feeds
- Scrapes Serebii and PokeBeach directly (they block RSS)
- Runs 6 search queries to catch anything RSS missed
- Filters mainstream sites — only Pokémon-related stories pass through
- Deduplicates by title hash — no repeats
- Only posts stories from the last hour — always fresh
- Extracts article images for visual posts
- Posts to the Telegram channel with source links
What You'll See
- 🎮 Game announcements and updates
- 🃏 TCG Pocket and card game news
- 📱 Pokémon GO events, raids, community days
- 🎬 Anime and movie updates
- 🏆 Competitive VGC and tournament results
Every post includes the headline, a brief description, an image from the article, and a direct link to the source.
