There’s one particular ribbon cable in the originals that always gives me grief; didn’t have that experience with the Switch 2 Joy-Cons.

Surprisingly (to me at least), Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons are actually less complicated internally than original Switch Joy-Cons, and I actually had a very easy time taking mine apart and replacing the shells (pics later).

Maybe I’ll go back to Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection next? I finished the first game as I had that one as a kid, but never played any of the others.

We’re still in the process of unpacking everything at our new house and getting back into hobbies, but I really wanted to play this game as I waited almost two years for my physical copy from Rock It Games.

I finished a video game for the first time in a year and a half!

This might just be the most gorgeous book I have ever seen.

Well, this is exciting: Game Freak & The Pokémon Company will be releasing a series of art books to celebrate Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. This will include a set of three artbooks covering all of the mainline games, from Red & Green to Legends Z-A, totaling 1500 pages. www.4gamer.net/games/993/G0...

We’ve been talking about the ‘inevitable’ all-digital future for years now but it feels surreal that’s it’s *actually* happening. PlayStation has been my platform of choice for multiplatform/third-party games due to its trophy system, but I guess I’ll be switching to Nintendo from 2028.

I’m normally more of a Pikachu merch girlie but sometimes other stuff catches my eye. I do hope this comes to Australian retailers because this is gorgeous and I want it so bad!

I also want to pick up the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Collector’s Edition. The funny thing is, though: -I have purchased every single Fire Emblem Collector’s Edition since Fire Emblem: Fates -I have not finished a Fire Emblem game since Fire Emblem: Awakening (the game before Fates).

There were some really decent announcements in last night’s Nintendo Direct. First time in a while that I’ve thought “this is a good year for video games”. And yet the game I am most excited for came out of the Xbox Showcase. Never thought I’d say that.

Prerelease number two is tonight. I am hoping to pull the reverse holo Stunky common card. Or like… the gold Mega Greninja ex would be nice too.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

I went to a Chaos Rising prerelease yesterday, placed 19th out of around 24 people (tie, loss, loss)… but in the end I kinda won the event when I pulled this from my last participation prize pack!

Mega Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare from the Pokémon TCG set “Perfect Order”, the top chase card of the set.

Maybe by the time get all my volumes out of storage and get around to reading them all, they’ll finally release Volume 64…

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

I’ve said it before; the Pokémon Adventures manga has the best storytelling of all Pokémon media, in my opinion (and I’ve only finished the Red & Blue and Yellow chapters so far).

I should be moving into my new house within the next couple of months, so I can finally settle back into a dedicated space for computer-based projects. I have some other craft-related projects for PokéPrint and beyond too, and all my art and craft supplies have been packed away since August.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

There seems to be quite a few new and returning Pokémon fan sites popping up lately, and I am LOVING it! So heartwarming to see fans return to the independent web space. It’s motivating me to get back into working on PokéPrint (my laptop needs a new battery again, however).

What I did not know, when I went to the post office yesterday without a car, is that it weighs OVER TEN KILOS! I had to take it on the bus and walk almost a kilometre home carrying it yesterday. Damn thing better be worth that effort!

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

The LEGO Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise set got delivered to my PO Box yesterday! I won’t be opening it and putting it together until we move into the new house in a month or so, so I guess it’ll be our housewarming present to ourselves.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I’m also wondering if perhaps the fatal incident at the Mega Tokyo Pokémon Center late last month is affecting their announcement and release schedules. That would be understandable.

000

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Well… Easter is over and still no 2026 Easter/spring Pokémon Center merch line. I guess they want to focus on pushing the 30th Anniversary merchandise instead.

110

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I really do miss collecting sets, and as tempting as it is to start up again, I know I’d only be satisfied if I could master every set, and that’s unfortunately an unrealistic goal. But I’ll definitely be attending prereleases just for the fun of it going forward. Can’t wait for Chaos Rising!

000

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I forgot to mention, but I went to a Perfect Order prerelease a couple of weeks back, and it was so fun! I didn’t realise how much I missed attending these - the last one I went to before this was XY—BREAKpoint, and that was ten years ago!

I’m not going crazy right? They haven’t announced Easter merch yet? I know they’re focussing on 30th Anniversary merch, but they usually announce Easter stuff pretty early, sometimes even in January, so it’s weird that they haven’t shown anything yet.

Easter is in two weeks and I don’t think the Pokémon Center has revealed this year’s Easter merch line yet. Should I be panicking? Because I’m panicking.

Rock It Games’ decision to send emails advertising pre-orders for their new release when they haven’t yet started fulfilling Croc pre-orders from October 2024 is certainly… interesting.

000

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

At first I was a bit disappointed by the recent Pokémon Presents due to the main headliner being leaked months ago, but the more I see about Winds and Waves, the more excited I am for them. Hopefully the end up looking as great at the trailer made them out to be.

Kimba @kimbachu.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Oooh yes! Zacian and Zamazenta have some of the best shiny palettes and I think they’d make great Gold Star cards! (I also think they’d make a great paired LEGEND card from the HGSS era!)
