BULK CRAFTING LET’S GO!!
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!

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…

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.

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

I actually ordered this meal myself on my visit to the Pokémon Café earlier this year, so I knew I had to have this plush in my collection!

Got my Pikachu Curry Plate plush! This was a little trickier to get than my usual imports (due to being so popular, Pokémon Centers implemented a one-per-person buying limit which made it tricky for export websites to stock it). Got mine from the wonderful @pokevault.bsky.social!

It’s currently 6:12am where I am and both Pikachu and Zamazenta raids are live. Are they supposed to be live this early?

I boldly made this statement on Twitter a year and a half ago and only today did I realise that it’s incorrect, and Emerald actually uses a different font entirely to both Ruby/Sapphire and FireRed/LeafGreen.
Basically, all three Gen III entries each use their own unique in-game font.

I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw a post where someone had 3D printed all the Unown and turned them into fridge magnets… so I found the free files online and immediately started the same thing myself.

This Snorlax plate from the Pokémon Café! Snorlax is my partner’s favourite Pokémon so this is another of his pickups. This is the plate that the menu item “Snorlax's Tummy Filling Nap Lunch Plate” is served on.

This Dragon Quest perpetual calendar plush! I’ve only partly-played one DQ game but my partner is a big fan, and this was one of his pickups. I believe this was originally some kind of lottery prize, we picked this up pre-owned at a Surugaya in Yokohama.

Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn collector’s edition on Nintendo DS! The PS3 version is one of my all-time favourite games, and this original version comes with a hardcover Wizard’s Compendium book. I was absolutely stoked to find it in Trader in Akihabara for only ¥2480 ($28 AUD).

Armaldo “Pokémon Fit” plush! I think this might be the only non-Pikachu-Pokémon thing I bought on this trip! Hoenn has some of my favourite Pokémon designs and I particularly love the Hoenn fossils. Picked up Cradily last year but couldn’t find Armaldo then, glad I was able to grab him this time.

This blue Pikachu N64! This was one of my big wishlist items and I found this one for what I consider to be a very good price for its condition in Retro TV Game Revival, a retro game store in Nipponbashi (“Den-Den Town”), Osaka. Still on the lookout for the orange one…

2018 “Pikachu Sweet Treats” plush. I got super lucky and found this wishlist item pre-owned at a Surugaya store in Osaka. I paid ¥8,000 (about $90 AUD) for them, they tend to go for between $200 - $400 AUD online. Missing the tag but I don’t mind, I was just happy to find something pretty rare.

“Pokémon Botanical Easter” Pikachu plush (aka 2025 Easter Pikachu)! Picking up these is honestly my favourite annual tradition and it was just unbelievable to be able to pick this year’s up in-person for the first time.
