The high temp today was finally under 30 for a change, so we went to Serigaya Park in Machida, where Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri grew up collecting bugs and trading them with his friends. There's 6 Pokelids there and they are absolutely adorable! Also got my shiny Lilligant raiding there :)

I should post about Go Fest and the Osaka expo stuff but it was kinda overwhelming.

I took a friend to the Tokyo Pokemon Cafe last night on a whim (reservations open up randomly a lot). This time I knew where to sit for a selfie with Chef Pikachu. Also the Sinistea strawberry tea service was amazingly good. Had an iced caramel Latteas as well to get another glass to bring home :)

"Okay Singapore Pikachu and Taipei Pikachu, this is Sendai Miyagi Tanabata Pikachu, you all have the honor of having been too cute not to bring home on a whim from the Pokemon Center, I hope you will all get along together..."

From Sponichi - I don't really care about the MLB thing going on this week but OMG PIKACHU!

Fuecoco community day at Tokyo Station

Also I went to Taiwan last weekend for the Pokemon Go Unova tour! The Metropolitan Park part was pretty fun, but the rest of the weekend was tough - I didn't realize it was just in New Taipei City, not actual Taipei. The enigma stops were SO far apart too, not very accessible by public transit.

Been a while since I've been to the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo. It was the last day of the Eeveelutions Plate special, and they were out of stickers. But I got a cute cup and coaster!

Maybe all I'll post about on Bluesky is Pokemon stuff? I went to check out the new location of the Pokemon store in Tokyo Station tonight and it's lovely! Lots of new artwork and a huge beautifully lit store as opposed to the weird thing tucked back in a dark corner before.

More Pokemon manhole covers yesterday but this time in Yokohama after a salsa rueda thing. Unfortunately the waning daylight and a random singer made it hard for me to get good photos so I figure I'll come back in a few months when it makes sense to walk around for a while there!

上野公園でポケフタを探し、楽しかった！
Went looking for the Pokemon manhole covers in Ueno Park yesterday.
