A Tour of Worlds 2026 (Part 2)

How much Worlds 2026 fun can be packed into a single article! A lot, but also not enough! Check out my breakdown of everything else I saw at Worlds 2026.

Here's some neat historical data for PA!: I had my best traffic of all time at 26.7k visitors for July 2001. For 2001 internet, that's a LOT. For Sept 2026, I hit a modern record of 7.84k visitors. I still got a while before I break 26.7k, but I now have something to shoot for.

Welp, looks like I missed out on getting product AND the Draw Your Own Pokémon card sheet 😭 I think I would've been good if I was there even an hour earlier. Aw well, better luck next time. But I did at least get a Mewtwo Promo Card, so that's something! 😊

Update on the Target promotion: * there is 100 tickets to go around * it looks like I might still be able to get something (knock on wood) * the Draw your own Pokémon sheet (which is what I really wanted to do) is tied to the ticket you get... no ticket, no sheet Wish me luck!

It's 1:21am and I'm out for my nightly 4 mile walk. No one is in line outside my local Target, should I just camp out here till 12pm? lolololol

Just a quick story I want to share: as a kid I saw how the California condor was nearing extinction in the 80s & how there was a captive breeding program to build up their population in the 90s. To train new baby condors on how to feed their own young, they used these condor puppets! Too cute!

In 2002, William Hung placed ninth at the Professor Draft West Coast Stadium Challenge in San Diego. I knew William from these events, so you can imagine my absolute shock when I saw him on American Idol. Then there was that time he visited the League I was running in Oakland 😄

This week's Custom Card is "Professor Tree"! I made this for a Pokémon TCG Custom Card Community Discord contest to design a card for a Pokémon Professor. Professor Tree is inundated with Pokémon that Trainers send back to him, so he'll just give you whatever's on hand. #pokemontcg

Pokémon Aaah! The Bsky Account @pkmna.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I wonder why a lot of the 30th Anniversary Cards look so different. Like, Sneasel's artwork changed AND had its "lens flare wings" removed? Also note how everything has shifted against the Darkness type background. I should do a whole article about this. #pokemontcg

Pokémon Aaah! The Bsky Account @pkmna.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Still no 30th Anniversary Collection cards at my local Target. But I found a Gengar Trapper Keeper! So that's a win for me.

www.pokemonaaah.net/news/2026/09... — This week's article is finally up! It's sort of a grab bag of different events simply cuz it was near impossible to see everything. But I still cover stuff like the Pin Rally and Pokémon Museum. Please enjoy! #pokemon #pokemonworlds #pokemonxp

Guess who now owns one of the official domains used to promote Pokémon The Movie 2000?? web.archive.org/web/20000407... I think Warner Bros. just dumped all their old domains. I wonder what else I can pick up?? #pokemon

This was supposed to be released a couple days ago... but it's Yaku Neko's Ivysaur! Yaku has never done anything illegal or been to jail for anything & does not use illegal substances. Her Ivysaur looks suspicious but it's very friendly! #yanineko #chainsmokercat #ヤニねこ

Pokémon Aaah! The Bsky Account @pkmna.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This week's custom card: Yani Neko's Yanma! Based on the time she caught a dragonfly in Episode 7/75mg. Also helpful that they share similar name. Yaniko sure likes to smoke a lot... please don't smoke, it's bad for you and gives you foul gas. #yanineko #chainsmokercat #ヤニねこ

Idea 💡: What if we showed Trainer's at different stages of their career, life or story arcs? As long as their trainer name stays the same, we can show trainer's with different looks, outfits & ages! 🍃🍃 S.Oak's Celebi EX 🍃🍃 #pokemon #pokemontcg #celebi #professoroak

Maaaan we can't have good things. I'm just glad I got what I did, especially my favorite of the bunch: Ferrothorn. But the Pin Rally last year was better: you actually had to earn them doing tasks more complex than "wait in line". #pokemonworlds #pokemonxp #wcs2026

Did you know? For Card-E era cards (between 2002 and 2004), most cards share the same e-Reader ID across Japanese and English (like "F-01-#" Weedle). However, the "M" series IDs weren't shared, so a Japanese Vulpix and English Squirtle both got "M-03-#". #pokemon #pokemontcg

Pokémon TCG Trainer cards are done! At least normal & full art forms for all four types (Item, Stadium, Supporter and Tool) AND in all nine languages. It was a serious challenge to find example text for 36 different cards, but I put in the work for YOU 🫵 #pokemon #pokemontcg

Pokémon TCG Pocket ex blanks are done! I even made ex rule box text in all PTCGP languages. I'm gonna see what other random card bits exist to release as part of this first batch. Let's see what I can get done in the next week before Worlds! #pokemon #pokemontcg

Random bits from my collection: I got a still-sealed Burger King toy from 1999 (complete with Mew inside, note the purple ball), plus a Cap'n Crunch Pokémon Pocket Cam. I still have a ton of film, maybe I'll use it at Worlds! :D #Pokemon

Pokémon TCG Pocket blanks, step one: complete! I now have assets for all types and languages: * basic, stage 1, and stage 2 * text overlays * weaknesses * retreat for 1-5 energy The idea is that you can just copy-and-paste whatever you want and make the card. Pretty neat, huh? #pokemontcg

I can't believe how much of the #Teraleak is still unknown and unsurveyed. Thankfully I have my PowerMac G4 to start poking through it some more and found some Excel documents covering some Ruby/Sapphire design notes and graphics. Still A TON to pour through! #pokemon
