www.pokemonaaah.net/news/2016/11... - Read the story about how I was behind these horrible Poké Tips from Professor Oak! I recently updated it to include more history. Maybe I'll make some more! #pokemon #professoroak
The History of Professor Oak Being a Lying Bastard
Professor Oak gave new players a ton of advice for their adventures in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow. But did you know that he might have just been LYING to you?

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?

Update!

I am now just four cards away from completing this! I've been buying them occasionally and trying to find the best possible prices.

They're far from perfect condition, but they're mine and I am happy with them.

Just need Vileplume, Primeape, Tentacruel and Lapras!
For anyone who knows me, or has seen my messages here, I have wanted a Southern Islands collection for about 23 years. Yesterday I took the first step!

I purchased the empty binder, which came with its sleeve and the post cards. It's in great condition and only cost me £30!

Now to get the cards...
