I’m looking to get this put together by Friday, so if you haven’t reached out yet but have been thinking about it, I’m still looking to add more people if I can. Dev, media, content creator with a Pokemon story to tell? Hit me up at kshepard@kotaku.com. RTs appreciated!
Are you in dev, media, or content creation and have a story to tell about why Pokemon is special to you, has influenced your work, or overall just made an impact on your life? Would you want to tell me about it for a 30th anniversary Kotaku story? Get in touch: kshepard@kotaku.com. RTs appreciated!

This industry continues to be a fucking nightmare
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post
"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.
This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

How the fuck am I supposed to play with my kid, keep him happy and entertained, while our government is actively murdering innocent citizens? He’s five. Is he going to grow up in a fascist country? He just wants to play with his toy cars. I’m spiraling
