Somehow I ended up very first in line at the Tokyo Station Pokémon Store when it opened this morning…

Just found out that the one new Pokémon form (excluding Megas) that is obtainable in Legends: Z-A cannot have your OT/Trainer ID. Disappointing, as I want my entire living dex to have my name as the OT. I’ll probably just leave it out now…

Not only did I get the pin set as a bonus for preordering the Switch 2 version, but the clerk also gave me the notebook, which was the preorder bonus for the Switch 1 version. I guess my local JB didn’t get many Switch 1 preorders. Works for me!

ALSO, I preordered from JB Hi-Fi this time because it had a much better preorder bonus than EB Games (JB had the three-pin set, whereas EB gave you one chosen at random).

And I picked Chikorita. I know it’s probably the weakest of the Z-A starters, but I have such a soft spot for Chikorita (it was my pick when I first played a Johto game). It probably sucks less in Kalos than it does in Johto, anyway.

Picked up the Switch 2 edition so I can experience the enhancements when I do upgrade to a Switch 2, but I am currently playing on a Switch OLED (this cartridge works on the original Switch). I’ll be working all weekend so I don’t expect to get much playtime in until Monday.

Let’s go!!

Here’s hoping I get lucky and get a hundo Chikorita from this research to complete the trio.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to spin any PokéStops for a while either…

Replacement arrived! I won’t lose this one!

When I was fifteen years old, I created my own Pokémon website.

Today, that website turns fifteen years old.

Happy 15th birthday, PokéPrint!

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 26d

Hello, I posted a public update to PokéPrint for the first time in two-and-a-half-years.

Kinda just apologising for not updating in two-and-half-years.

But it’s something, at least.

I just ordered a replacement online, but it cost me almost $40 AUD (which is far too much money for a single pen, but I liked this pen way too much to not replace it).

When it arrives, I’m never taking it outside the house again.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · Sep 17

I lost a pen at work this week.

Not just any pen, but a super cute two-colour Pikachu ballpoint pen that I picked up from a Pokémon Center while in Japan earlier this year.

Pretty sure it fell out of my shirt pocket on my lunch break on Monday. I know it’s just a pen, but I’m kinda devastated.

I’ll have to get a pic of all my Pika POPs once we’re settled in our new house and they’re all set up. If I’m remembering correctly, I think these bring me to twelve different Pikachu POPs (the others are packed safely in a box for now).

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · Sep 17

three Pikachu Funko POP! Vinyl figures:
top: flocked waving pose
bottom left: pastel/“soft colour”
bottom right: pearlescent (Pokémon Center exclusive)

As long as I can transfer my Furfrou into Legends: Z-A to change their trims, then back into HOME, I’ll be okay with this (Gens 6 and 7 worked this way with Bank). Another site reported that once you transfer a Pokémon from HOME to Z-A, you can’t transfer it back; I hope that report was incorrect.

Pokémon Pokopia is already the best video game of all time. Every other video game can go home.

Finally finished the HTML table code for PokéPrint’s Scarlet and Violet Pokémon locations checklist. Now for the hard part - figuring out how to make it sortable without being extremely laggy.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · Sep 2

I actually don’t like Funko POPs as a collectable much. I don’t really like how they look. I much prefer Nendoroids and other more detailed figures.
But I am a Pikachu fiend, and picked up three Pikachu POPs that I didn’t have yet.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · Sep 2

I friend and I went to CollectFest (a collectables convention) in Sydney last weekend and I purchased a Funko POP (and two more since), and a couple of Pokémon cards. Send help.

Working on PokéPrint today (in-between house chores, packing, and other commitments). Progress is slow, but at least it’s something.
