Happy Halloween to Johto Times readers! Did you see our website banners this month? They changed depending on the time of day (in line with Pokémon Crystal's day and night cycle)

They were created by our talented friend Irene!

My hope is to host a series of AMAs (Ask me anything) with special guests on our forum in the future. I figured i'd kick things off and subject myself to it.

I'll refine future AMAs based on how things go.

If anyone is interested of course, and be kind!

Ever since I purchased that one comic a few weeks back, I've been buying up cheap ones online. I'm now missing three:

Electric Tale of Pikachu (4)
Electric Pikachu Boogaloo (1 & 4)

Hopefully I'll get the others soon. Maybe I can trade these duplicate copies?

How are you enjoying Pokémon Legends Z-A so far? After a hard night of battling, it's nice to relax with an old friend and enjoy some snacks and refreshments!

A very lovely website, but sadly...

Pokémon Legends Z-A is out tomorrow, and we asked our forum members which starter they plan to choose!

Do you agree with their choices? Join the conversation here:

I've loved reading all of the posts across our forum so far. There's so much passion and love for the franchise, and it has been especially lovely to see discussion about the earliest days of Pokémon.

I hope that you'll consider registering and joining us there yourselves!

We soft launched the Johto Times forum a week ago, and so far we have 55 users who have made over 400 posts. It's early days, but the conversations I have seen across the forum is reflecting what I wanted: a nice close-knit community!

But a forum is a hard sell to people in the social media age!

Do you plan to carve some Pokémon pumpkins this spooky month? If so, please consider sharing them with us on our new forum!

If we get enough of them, perhaps we can feature them on the website too!

Here's one submitted to us back in 2023 by one of our readers

At least Pikachu is my friend 🥲

I gave him 999 watts, so maybe he's just pretending... don't fill my head with doubts Pikachu 😭

I purchased some more Pokémon comics recently! I already had two issues of Surf's Up Pikachu, but I needed 1 and 3.

I probably overpaid on Pikachu Shocks back, but overall I am happy and they didn't break the bank.

Now to get the remaining issues I still need!
