Lifelong gamer. Pokémon fan. Retro collector. Lucky enough to have a family that games with me.
That’s pretty sick.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous @pokemonofficial.bsky.social. #pokemontcgpocket

That’s a sick piece of artwork though.

Super Mario World. I never owned an SNES so it was the game all my friends had. It felt like an elevated art style at the time and, looking back at it now via something like Mario Maker 2, it looks like a difficult balance of beauty and graininess.

Your writing is great, thanks for continuing to share! Your work makes me able to share gaming insights and perspectives with folks who wouldn’t call themselves gamers. It’s led to some great conversations.

I love picking up copies of the old game carts and having someone’s name on it. It really locks in the feeling of “I wonder if I knew this kid…”, especially from game shops near where I grew up.

Ok eweather is here, so now I just need like…maybe two more accounts, and I’m good.
A couple wild runs at 12z today for Black Friday. Black may be the wrong color…

Euro L, GFS R.

Interesting.

Obviously not a forecast at this point.

My son: “Did you know if you dock Metroid Dread you get an extra 1/16 of a second to react to the EMMI?”

Me: “Where’d you learn that?”

Son: “That strategy guide book has a ton of stuff in it”

That’s a solid setup. Which reminds me, I should probably hit up IKEA. Having “collect my childhood in physical form” hobby does take up a bit of space, doesn’t it?

It’s great to see the Pokémon community continue to grow over here. Hopefully we see the wave continue!

Yea it’s really gotten bad. The ads alone are just aggressive, nonsensical, and intrusive.

Thanks! I’m leaning Meloetta, since that would help towards someday getting that shiny Magearna #pipedream

Super interesting. I’ve been toying with starting a Shining Pearl #Nuzlocke, which would be my first. I’m split between starting that and chasing the Shiny Meloetta in #Pokemon HOME.

@pokemonofficial.bsky.social You guys should totally make the holiday merch stream you did with @pkmncast.com an annual thing. That was super fun to watch in a very mellow, approachable way, and it gave a better idea of what the merch is like than pics and reviews online. Thx for a fun holiday add!

Squirtle, Rowlet, Fuecoco. Harder than I’d like to admit, except for the turtle!

Love the yellow VHS. It’s been great getting VCRs back into our household, and that would definitely be one to keep.

25 years ago today, on November 10th, 1999, Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back released across North American theatres, with the Pikachu's Vacation short movie just before it. Here is my original copy of the movie on VHS!

That was a good read!
Pokémon Johto! (Do-do-do do do-do, do-do-do do do-do)

Most of us remember the Pokémon Johto Journeys theme, but do you know the people behind it? We interviewed the band (Johto) last year and learned all we could about their memories and experiences of recording!

I definitely don’t think it’s a thing…but then again I definitely pulled Articuno EX and Venusaur EX from one and now I’m convinced
