We're back! Firstly, just want to say thank you to everyone for their extended patience with the site being down. We know there was a lot of uncertainty and unanswered questions with the shutdown being so sudden and unannounced.

Can’t wait to get this back to Japan so I can scan this random little robot dog from the Deoxys movie adaptation that got updated into a block robot for the graphic novel release.

I’m back in the U.S. for a visit, and while going through stuff at my family’s house I found the Animazement ‘99 programming schedule which is where I would have seen “Mewtwo Strikes Back!” for the first time ever 👀
It was apparently noteworthy enough for me to circle in red 😅

I guess this theory about only being able to use Pokémon who appeared in the Legends Z-A game ended up not being true after all...
Some of the Pokémon choices confused fans in Japan (“Soublades would have been a waaaay better choice for Otr,” “Why didn’t Chinatsu get one of the goldfish Pokémon?,” etc), prompting them to wonder if the manga artists were only allowed to choose Pokémon who appear in Legends Z-A…
【DB Update】 Let's talk about the big #shonenjump & #pokemon collaboration from earlier this month! I go in-depth into all 20 pieces of artwork that were a part of this major crossover event.

In my @johtotimes.bsky.social interview from earlier this year I brought up the hope that #anipoke will one day switch over from being a yearlong series to a seasonal one, and now that a show as massive as One Piece is making the switch I have renewed hope that it might actually happen someday👍

I honestly don't think they put that much thought into it. The artists probably just went "y'know, orange hair kind of looks good on her, let's go with that" and then called it a day.
This is kind of off topic but a question I've been thinking about with the Brock stuff...
Am I wrong or do you think Misty is meant to have dyed her hair? I'm thinking how most of Gen I have pretty typical standard Japanese haircuts back when Pokemon was most resembling our world

A reminder that Pokémon Shock was a living nightmare for everyone involved that had actual, real world victims.
It really isn't the sort of thing we should be reducing to flippant "Porygon did nothing wrong!" memes.
