I feel like I’ve learnt so much about both JavaScript and CSS in the last week. Having these little wins is so motivating to keep working on the site.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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.
