Pokemon X and Y might be old news now, but we at GamesRadar are continually fascinated by these creatures we call Pokemon, so we continue to investigate their many mysteries in our weekly show on the topic! This episode of Pokemon Weekly deals the nature of the soul, specifically Yamask's. Is it really a lost soul, trapped to carry a mask version that resembles it's old (living) face? We ponder that ghoulish thought in the video below, and when you're done think about your own mortality, you're free to move on to our Pokemon X and Y review, complete Pokedex, and guides to Mega Stone locations and Pokemon-amie, along with subscribing to our YouTube channel so you don't miss another episode.

Pokemon Weekly is GamesRadar's weekly Pokemon X and Y show. The title was a pretty obvious hint. Come back every Tuesday for the latest news, analysis, and speculation about the next generation of Pocket Monsters. You can also check out our Pokemon X and Y review.
