Happy #PokemonDay!! Here's some scribbles of the whole gang

gen 10

Merchandise is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. I actually found that Pokémon Presents a little disappointing, considering it was celebrating such a big milestone.

The only new game announcement was spoiled by leaks months ago…

30周年！

More pictures have been released of the special 30th anniversary Pokémon Red & Green-style Pikachu plush and keychain. www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2026/0...

This is some of my favourite merch/plush they've ever made.

If they release the ‘physical’ edition of FireRed and LeafGreen for Switch in the west, I will definitely pick that up, but otherwise I’m good with my originals (the Analog Pocket is technically modern hardware, right?). But I do think it’s great that these aren’t locked behind the premium NSO tier.

With the recent FRLG news, I'd like to remind you that the Buried Relic holds some information that may come in handy in your new adventure:

- Utility Pokémon beyond battles.
- Shiny hunting info and tips.
- Unown's wacky shiny odds and other wild facts.

I managed to get two ETBs from my local card store, so all good for the N’s Zekroms. Thanks though!

I was in line at Kmart at 7:30am (they opened at 8am) and they were handing out tickets. One ticket per person. I got a ticket, but missed out on an ETB anyway because they let a lady buy three boxes with her one ticket. Total BS.

I also really want the Grey Felt Hat (big Van Gogh fan here - The Starry Night is one of my all-time favourite famous artworks).

Won’t pay anything above raw price for it though. Sucks that most copies you see (if any) are graded. I honestly despise the concept of grading…

The only one of these I currently have is the Surging Sparks SIR. Praying for a god pack from my Ascended Heroes ETB(s) because I NEED both of those Pikas!

These are weird. They almost look fake (at least badly done). Why would they use modern Sugimori art for the Grass/Fire/Water versions, but use a mixture of old and new Sugimori art and then a random Shadows of Almia Pikachu for Electric?

It’s from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia!

I’m still a complete beginner when it comes to JavaScript (and jQuery), but I think I’m slowly figuring out how things work with a little trial and error.

While working on a JavaScript search function for PokéPrint’s checklists, I somehow broke the table sorting algorithm I was using. No idea how I managed that… but in my quest to fix it, I found a jQuery plugin that works exactly as I want it to, and now code is so much neater!

I’m pretty sure the point about Pokémon facing the wrong way in certain Hyperspace zones is specifically referring to the Jaune Sector 1 small zone, because my Pokémon always seem to run towards the scaffolding near the bottom and get themselves stuck there. I hope that’s what they fixed!

Thank goodness they’ve raised the Mega Shard inventory cap!

I never really understood why thy didn’t just make all stores Vision stores (EB/ZiNG combo stores). Shopping centres often have both, but it would be cheaper to rent one bigger store instead of two average sized ones. Plus, most EBs are essentially 75% merch now anyway.

I feel like this article is a little vague… as far as I’m aware, it’s the ZiNG store at Tuggerah that’s closing, but EB Games Tuggerah will remain open (EB literally just relocated to a bigger space and reopened).
Unless I’m mistaken?

Anyway, I love Pokémon, and the Pokémon TCG, and really do miss collecting on a large scale… but it got too expensive for me ten years ago. I can’t imagine trying to jump in and collect full sets now.

With these products, you know exactly what’s inside and aren’t missing out on the chance to pull something cool out of a booster pack.

Maybe because I know I have zero self-control and probably couldn’t keep boosters sealed even if I wanted to…

While I respect and understand peoples’ decisions to keep their Pokémon TCG products sealed (even though I think sealed collectors are partially to blame for ruining this hobby), the only Pokémon TCG products I would be interested in keeping sealed are Theme Decks and World Championship Decks.

I think it stopped counting after my second system transfer (original Switch > Switch Lite, then Switch Lite > Switch OLED).

According to my Nintendo Year In Review stats for 2020, 2021, and 2022, I have played *at least* 1,156 hours of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
For some reason, my Switch stopped counting my hours at 660. Has anyone else encountered an issue with their Switch not logging their playtime accurately?
