Post by: tikibirds on March 11, 2015, 04:52:47 PM
BRAG THREAD ----> http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,368729.msg1396247.html#msg1396247


Hey guys,
Kiwi gave approval for the swap, so here we go!

Budget
The Budget would be $20 plus $5 in extras so the total budget is $25
Shipping is NOT included in this total

Rules and Regulations
-Per arena rules you must be at least 16 years old
-You must be an active member for at least 6 months (joined by September 2014)
-You must have at least 300 posts
-You must have at least 5 feedbacks from trade/swaps on the Arena (A 100% eBay feedback may count as one if you are short)
-No negative feedback within the past two years
If you are short on one of these, PM me anyways and we can discuss the requirements.

Other requirements:
-This is a secrete swap - Do not mention who your partner.
-Please post a minimum of two times per week in the swap discussion thread if possible. It is very uncool when someone’s partner hardly ever posts in the discussions.  I get that you have a life and all, basically what I don't want is for someone to sign up and then we never hear from them again, or to be active till sign ups are over and then they go AWOL for the next 2 months.
-You MAY NOT drop out once your application has been approved. Anyone who fails to send a box to their partner will be marked as a flaker and appropriate feedback will be left. If you run into any issues. please lmk ASAP
-All gifts MUST  be wrapped, and teasers should be posted before shipping.
- you MUST PM me a picture of your loot by the check-in date. I will not provide you with the shipping address until I receive the check in picture.
-All USA residents need to sent a tracking number when they ship, Internationals need to provide proof of shipping
-This is a wishlist based swap - Please pay attention to what your partner wants and does not want!
Dates
 Signups till 3/20
Photo Check-in 4/20
Shipping Week 5/10 - 5/16

The shipping deadline is the same for both International and Domestic shipping. The reason for this is, I want every one to have the same amount of shopping time. There are alot of neat things on Ebay from sellers in China/Hong Kong and Japan and If you decide to go this route, I want you to have enough time to get the item and then ship if off to your partner. From China and Hong Kong to the USA is about 3 weeks.

If you want to join, Please PM me the following info:

Name
Address
Will you ship Internationally? NOTE: International Shipping can be pricey. Keep this in mind. If the box is OVER 4 pounds, it will go International Priority and that starts at like $50.

You will not receive your partners address till AFTER I receive a check in picture from you.

After you are approved, Please answer the following questions and post your wishlist in this post  :biggrin:


1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
2) What would you like for Extras?
3) Favorite candy?
4) Any Allergies?
5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
6) Least fav pokemon?
7) How do you feel about handmade items?
8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
Also post any pics of your collection or items you are looking for  :ohyeah:

I want to join but there aren't any local places to buy stuff?
You can find tons of stuff on ebay, although a lot of the cool stuff is located in Asia. China and HK sellers have tons of stuff but if your parnter is Anti-bootleg, you may want to avoid these sellers. There are some facebook groups for buying/trading pokmon merchandise. I have never bought anything off of these two but they seem pretty popular:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/spurlockscardshop/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/430662843733674/?ref=br_tf
I think you may need to join those two pages? I don;t recall what I did for them.

Awesome! So glad to see this got approved, I've been looking forward to it :D Just sent in my application!
Title: Pokemon Swap - SIGNUPS till 3/20
Post by: Dainty on March 11, 2015, 05:33:46 PM
Yay! :lol: Btw, if people are gonna shop on ebay it might be a good idea to look at some guides on how to spot booties from real plush. There are a lot of booties on ebay :(

1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards? I'm not really interested in cards, sorry. :)
2) What would you like for Extras? HMMM.... I like candy :) And drink mixes, I have a lot of hot chocolate already but I like flavored coffee etc. I also like kawaii things, cute keychains for my purse etc... And stickers but I've been trying to downsize my sticker collection :P could use some pokemons though
3) Favorite candy? Ummm everything :blush: I really cant pick a favorite. I don't like chocolate covered fruit sometimes :--0
4) Any Allergies? Nope!
5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?I collect a lot of bulbasaur and nidoran family stuff! But I don't want much bulbasaur stuff right now as i have so much. LOVE LOVE LOVE chansey so any chansey/blissey merch would be AWESOME! Scyther is awesome and I need some figures of him :P Clefairy, jigglypuff, wigglytuff, I like muk and grimer too :) Koffing and Weezing...! Ok, that is WAY more than 5...
6) Least fav pokemon? I don't have one :)
7) How do you feel about handmade items? As an extra I'd love em
8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect? I like things with tags but it's not necessary, umm besides that I guess i'd prefer plushes with no stains or anything :)

9) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
Types of stuff I want: Plushes, I like kids figures :) Pokemon friends plush (the ones that came in boxes)
I'm ok with booties for some stuff, I love those "Walking of fairy" booteg figure :P Also, I'm not super fond of jakks plush or the toy factory plush that aren't made with fur fabric. My favorite plush are ones that were made when the 1st and 2nd gen were out, also 3rd gen :)

Basically I'd prefer plush over figures or other merch but I do like kids figures etc etc especially for nidoran family since theres only 3 legit plush lol!

10) How do you feel about booties? OK so I changed my stance on this, I'm ok with some bootie plush for stuff that's hard to find, I don't really like bootie pokedolls though.  I'd prefer mostly official merch  :)

My FAV types of plush are UFO plush, Shimmery plush, Bell plush, Bandai Friends plush. Especially ufo plush, the kind of plush where they are in unique poses or have accessories, or are several pokemon in one plush to make a scene. Also I really like the older plush, not so much the newer plush. Think short fur material, not minky or velboa :--) I'm starting to only collect these types, but i know sometimes they can be expensive, I'll love anything I get but that's something to look for :--)

Here's a link to an ebay collection I started to sort of show what kind of stuff I like :) but if you want to just shop from it well, I'd have no complaints either way :lol:
http://www.ebay.com/cln/daintysweetheart/MLPArena/190084881013

10) Any anime likes? HMMM I mean i have a lot of anime I like but not really anything I collect? Mario isn't anime lol but I like Yoshi a lot and collect him :P
Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?

OK here's my collection, it was dark outside so sorry for the quality :blush:

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on March 11, 2015, 05:44:58 PM
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I collect Pokemon cards, but only Japanese ones.  Right now I'm only actively looking for the Ho-Oh Japanese cards that came in two parts.

2) What would you like for Extras?
Anything pony related would be cool. :P I have a wantlist in my signature.

3) Favorite candy?
Choooooocolate!  I love milk and white chocolates.  I'm also a huge fan of anything sour.  Nerds, Haribo gummy bears and Sour Punch Straws are some of my favorites.

4) Any Allergies?
Nope!

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
This is gonna be more than 5 because I can't narrow it down!
Ampharos (my ALL TIME FAVORITE)
Goodra (second favorite)
Lapras (third favorite)
Dragonite (fourth favorite)
Flygon (fifth favorite)
-no particular order after this-
Hydreigon
Typhlosion
Lanturn
Serperior
Milotic
Houndoom
Galvantula
Seviper
Also included are the Pokemon that belong to these families.

Lugia, Ho-Oh, Genesect, Yveltal, Zygarde and Diancie are some of my favorite legendaries.

Side note: I do like the Eeveelutions but I'm not a huge fan.  Jolteon and Sylveon are my favorites, though!

6) Least fav pokemon?
Pikachu. I seriously cannot stress enough that I really don't like Pikachu.  I DO like Raichu though.  Weird?  Yes, I know.  Most gen 3 and 4 Pokemon, Mr. Mime, Jynx, almost all of the baby Pokemon, most poison types. I really HATE the elemental monkeys from gen 5, too.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
Sounds great!  My best friend made me a Lapras pillow pet last year, so I'm all for homemade things!

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
I'm not picky about the condition, other than that the item be clean.

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
Sailor Moon(Sailor Mars and Jupiter are my favorites)
Madoka Magica (Kyoko is my favorite and I love Kyubey)
One Piece (namely Tony Tony Chopper items)
Attack on Titan
Kirby (I know this is more video game related, but there was a show and several manga!)

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
My Pokemon Wishlist on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2YT155DFIBFVD/ref=topnav_lists_2) - I know a lot of that stuff is expensive, but it's just to be used as a general guideline for the things that I like/don't have.  If you can find an item cheaper, go for it!

Link to my Instagram (https://instagram.com/rainbowrificrenia/) - Here you can see most, if not all, of my collections to help give you an idea of what I already have (and what I might like for extras).

These are just the plushies I have so far:

 (http://s6.photobucket.com/user/anxhonestxmistake/media/IMG_20150225_162318_zps9fvpcsls.jpg.html)

I'm always looking for plushies and older, small figures.  I also like keychains. I own a few of the model kit sets (Snivy/Servine/Serperior, Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion, and Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligatr), and I only have 4 of the Pokemon toys that were in McDonald's Happy Meals last year (Yveltal, Xerneas, Fennekin, Blastoise) and I'd love to get the rest. Phone charms/straps are cool, and I've seen lots of Pokemon ones popping up lately!

I also have a pet ferret named Furret, so any and all Sentret/Furret merchandise is welcome! 

Posters, stickers, stationary, etc. would be appreciated as well.

11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
I don't mind them at all.  Official stuff can get a little too pricey.

12) Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
I'm fine with mostly handmade items.  Heck, if you're crafty enough and want to make all of the items you're sending me, go for it!

13) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
My trainer is based off of me irl.  I'll post a picture when I get home!

14) As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)?
For this swap, I would prefer the newer stuff since it'll probably be less expensive than older stuff... depending.  Also, I'm a fan of a lot of the newer Pokemon so that helps.  I also loooooove cute stuff and Pokemon has been great with that lately!

15) Which is your favorite Pokemon league?
Johto for sure!

16) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
Dream Ball, Love Ball, Quick Ball, Moonball, Ultra Ball, and of course the Master Ball!

17) Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
Not really a fan of the anime at all.

18) If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
SoulSilver/HeartGold are my absolute favorites, followed by X/Y.

19) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I love necklaces and bracelets!

20) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
My fiancé loves Zebstrika, so anything Zebstrika would be cool if you'd like to get him something.

21) Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
Sure! G1 or G4 for me.

22) Do you have a pokesona?
Nope.

23) Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?
Sure! My team is (taking one Pokemon from each gen) Lapras, Ampharos, Flygon, Froslass, Sigilyph, and Goodra.

24) Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
Doesn't matter to me. It's all up to whatever my partner thinks is best.

25) Partner, what's your favorite color?
Mint green or turquoise!  I can never choose between the two.

26) What's your favorite Pokémon type?
Electric and Dragon.

27) Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
Yes!  I love hair bows more than headbands, but I also like hair clips and hair ties.

28) How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?
I love art.  Especially something I can frame!

29) If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
That's fine with me.  :)

30) Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I have a 3DS and the theme for it is Kirby, so anything relating to that would be cool.  A Pokemon themed sock cosy works, too!

31) Do you wear earrings?
I do!  I love earrings!

32) Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
I have Y and AS.

33) Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
I don't usually use keychains, but I love phone straps/charms.

34) Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
Deboxed is perfectly fine with me!  I'll be in the process of moving this summer, so having deboxed items takes up less space. ;)

35) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
I love Pokemon music!

36) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
Sure!

37) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Same with the anime, I'm not an avid watcher of the movies.  I'm mostly into Pokemon thanks to the games, so I can't really say if I have a favorite movie or not.  I think I've only seen two or three of them.

38) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
I love posters and wall scrolls!

39) How do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?
Well, I'm not a huge HK fan but I do know there was a crossover of her and Chopper from One
Piece.  Chopper is one of my favorite characters from OP and I do think HK is just adorable, so I'd love anything from their crossover!

40) A great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
I wouldn't mind doubles.

Post by: tikibirds on March 11, 2015, 07:45:39 PM
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards? Not really into the cards but I am OK with shiny ones for extras, the same for unopened cards
2) What would you like for Extras? stickers, "kawaii stationary", candy
3) Favorite candy? Swedish fish, Gummies, dark chocolate, mint chocolate,
4) Any Allergies? Nope!
5) Favorite pokemon? In no order:
1) Jolteon, Flarion, ninetails/vulpix
2) Jigglypuff
3) Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, Ho-Oh
4) Litwick family
5) Most dog-like pokemon (houndour, Arcanine, absol, ect) and Ghost types
7) oddish and shroomish
8) foongus, spiritomb, driftloon and evo, mismangus, shrumpert,  pumpkaboo,
6) Least fav pokemon? Not really a fan of fighting type or spider looking pokemon..no Pikachus, I have enough of them  :P Darkrai, heatran, gritania, palkia, dailgia, zerkron, kyurem, genesect, yvetal - most of the "ugly or manly" looking pokemon and ugly bug types. Cute ones are OK (butterfree, wurmple, medapod, ect.)
7) How do you feel about handmade items? I wouldn't mind them as extras or maybe 1/3 of the budget?
9) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect? Good condition, no tags needed but no nasty stains on plushies
8) Please post your wishlist
1) PLUSHIES - I have quite a few, so any I do not have would be welcome. Just no Pikachu/spider/fighting type.
2) Figures - Either Tomy or Jakks are fine. The only figures I don't really like are the tiny bootleg ones. I have alot of the 1st and 2nd generation figures, any other gen is fair game. I do have a fair amount of the earlier generations and not all of them are pictured, so for the regular figures it may be better to look for newer generations - after generation 3
3) I also like stampers, stickers, cell phone charms and the pitapoke sets are adorable.
4) Oddball pokemon items like the stuff from the capsul machines

Here is a list of stuff I like, using the Ebay wish list thing. It's all anime or pokemon stuff  :blush: but it gives an idea of the stuff I would want. It doesn't have to be those exact items - more of a guideline if you will.

10) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like? I would love anything from any of my fav anime/mangas, in case you happen to come across a cheap figure or something
1) Kamisama Kiss
2) yu Yu Hakasho - although not a fan of Kuwabara
3) Inu X Boku SS
4) Rurouni Kenshin
5) Inuyasha
6) Spirited away, The Cat returns, Howl's Moving Castle
 Fairy Tail, Soul Eater
You can see the loot I have in one of my collection pics above  ^.^
11) Bootleg/Fakies? If it is well made and looks like what it's supposed to, I'm happy. I know there are items like "shiny" plushies and those are fine too.

Here is a list of stuff I like, using the Ebay wish list thing. It's all anime or pokemon stuff  :blush: but it gives an idea of the stuff I would want. it doesn't have to be those exact items - more of a guideline if you will.
http://www.ebay.com/cln/nerotic_ball_of_need/Stuff-I-want/171302054018

Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand
made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?"

I want to say yes and I know at least one of you makes awesome pokemon plushies but I'm a little weary of anyone else because a while back I did say yes to handmade items and 2 of the items were horribly made. So, Yes I would be OK with handmade items but only if they don't look like a 5 year old made them :lookround:

13) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of? Nope

b]Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?[/b]
James

As far as official toys.... do you prefer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? I have a lot of the older stuff, so maybe it's best to go with the newer styles

Which is your favorite pokemon league?

Indigo, Jhoto, Hoen

Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?

I have no opinion on balls  :bolt:

Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
James, Tracy, Brock..mostly James  :inlove:

If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
Played all gens except black/white and X/y. I guess my fav would be Red or blue and then gold.

Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person? Earrings only.

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
Either is fine

Partner, what's your favorite color?
Green and I hate pink

What's your favorite Pokémon type?
Fire, dark and ghost

How do yall feel about art?
Are we talking posters and wall scrolls or handmade things? If they are handmade then something I can put into a frame would be nice. I like stationary and bookmarks but mabe for an extra?

If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are? I probably wouldn't know the difference anyways.

Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?

I had an original DS but some douchebag (sister's BF) stole it and the games  :enraged:

Pony Wishlist?

Not really but I can give you an anime figure wish list if you want  ;)

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yes! :D

Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
ummm...maybe. ?

Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
as extras sure

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Pokemon 2000  :inlove:, Spell of the Unknown and the one with Celebi

38) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
Fabric wall scrolls would be better, I'll take it to China with me

39) How do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?

40) A great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
mmm...love figures but would probably trade/sell any doubles..

I have no idea.. :blush: Some of the plushies are Jakks, some I got from the Japan Pavillion at Disney world, some came from other swaps on here and some I got from sellers in china but I am guessing the Chinese ones are bootlegs? I am pretty sure I got 'Karp from Disney world so I am assuming it's legit. They were celebrating the 10th Pokemon Anniversary at the time and there was a whole wall of pokemon goodies from the pokemon center.

My Pokemon Merch Wishlist!
Spoiler

A lil' bit about me first! I need my partner to know I will seriously love anything Pokemon they get me as Pokemon is a huge part of who I am. I grew up with Pokemon since I was 6 years old when it came out and Im mainly trying to collect 90's merchandise I missed out on as a kid.  I prefer a ton of cheap, lighter items over 1 expensive item and goodies if that helps! Im a huge Kanto/Jhoto person and my TOP favorite Pokemon are Eevee, Dratini line, and Horsea line.

Here is my Ebay collection aka my wishlist as a guide to use for shopping! All my wishlist items are cheap, but I dont expect you to purchase most of these items for my box. I would like a few items from this if its possible! click on the comments to see just how bad I want each item, represented by amount of  ❤'s.
http://www.ebay.com/cln/shiningmilotic/Pokemon-Swap-2015-Wishlist/189891950012

Sailor Moon wants as well! If you wanna take a look at some cute stuff!  :blush:
http://www.ebay.com/cln/shiningmilotic/Sailor-Moon-wants/190054031012

Other pokemon ideas:
*Burger King pokemon toys! Top want is that Seadra squirter.
* Kids figures AKA Pokemon Bandai finger puppet figures!
* I have been focusing on looking into adding more dragonair, lapras, seadra, or milotic items whether it be plushies, figures, cards, or art!
*Surprise me!

Yay! :lol: Btw, if people are gonna shop on ebay it might be a good idea to look at some guides on how to spot booties from real plush.

This is a good thing to bring up. I am always looking on ebay at Pokedolls- both fake and non-fakes. We should make another question so other swapers know how their partners feel about booties! There are a lot of booties on ebay although not all chinese sellers sell bootlegs. Pokemon Collectors Livejournal is an amazing place!
11) How do you feel about bootlegs? Plush, Pokedolls, Keychains, etc.


BUYING GUIDES:
Pokedolls and Toys http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/3315872.html
Plush http://pokevault.com/FakePokemon
10th anniversary plush http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/12443352.html

Here is the website for official Pokemon Center Merchandise from Japan! *wants everything* :lovey:
http://www.pokemoncenter.com/

EBAY: japan-asakura is located in japan and has 100% feedback, sells official pokedolls! You could probably get him to help find something for your swap partner!

Post by: Angelberries on March 12, 2015, 10:27:53 AM
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?

Yes I adore Pokemon cards, any type, any language, any condition. Even non-TCG trading cards.

2) What would you like for Extras?

Ooooh! I love cute things. kawaii JP things, figures, notepaper etc. I love Sanrio and characters like that. Alpaccasso is so cute, I don't own any of that. I'm obsessed with Elsa and Anna from Frozen. (I can't stand Olaf.) I will try most candy, except sour things, and liquorice. I do have sindy and Blythe dolls, but they aren't my main focus lately, though I love miniature things. Cute Digimon like Gabumon, Gatomon and Renemon.

3) Favorite candy?
Chocolate and gummies, peanut butter things, fruity, jelly beans, chewy candy.

4) Any Allergies?
Nope.

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
Fennekin and Braixen. Serena's Fennekin just evolved into Braixen in the anime, and I'm just dying with the cute over here. Eevee and eeveelutions, especially Sylveon. That Yellow Rat. Dedenne. Litleo. Mew. Vulpix and ninetales. Growlithe. Ponyta. Leg. birds and dogs. I like the cutesy animal pokemon.

6) Least fav pokemon?
Honedge and whatever it evolves into. Thunderus and friends. Regiice and friends. Golurk, trubbish, Throh and the other one. Mandibuzz. I don't like roboty, rocky, boyish pokemon.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
Thats fine!

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
Nope, any condition is fine. As long as its clean. Tags and boxes are nice but not necessary. I love plushies, figures, flats, cards.

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
I love Sailor Moon.

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!

ANYTHING with Serena on it. I own nothing, and I adore her!

These are just ideas. Some of the prices are crazy, so If you can find it cheaper, go for it.

Bootlegs - if it looks legit enough, thats fine by me. I don't like the fennekin booties though.... they scary!


12) Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
make it a mix! xxx

13) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
no. but I have my own pokesona type character, a girly female braixen named Dori.

14) As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)?
ALL OF IT I LOVE IT ALLLL

15) Which is your favorite Pokemon league?
Kantoooooooo

16) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
classic pokeball is best. but any is good!

17) Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
Sigh. Ash and Misty. Ash and Serena. I don't see them as the same Ash, IDK why!

18) If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
don't really have one.

19) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I love both.

20) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
No.

21) Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
Hmmmmm..... probably not.

22) Do you have a pokesona?
See above!

23) Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?
Yes. I have pokemon which would always be on my personal team. Sparky the Pikachu, Charla the Charizard, Suki the Eevee. Theres also fennekin, which I suppose would evolve into my braixen pokesona, so thats Dori. Sure I'd squeeze a sylveon in or something.

24) Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
Don't mind at all! Some of my wants can be pricy, so if you pick just one don't think 'that doesn't LOOK enough' know that I will know it is, because I know the prices of these things. You know? :)

25) Partner, what's your favorite color?
pink!

26) What's your favourite type?

Ooooh! fire!

Post by: Uninu on March 12, 2015, 10:29:06 AM
I would love to be in if there's still room! :D

1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I actually prefer loose cards, that way I can be sure what I get :blush: Unopened packs can be fun though, sometimes, but I do prefer the opened ones.

2) What would you like for Extras?
I got a puppy couple of days ago, so something for her would be lovely :lovey: She's a powder puff Chinese Crested, so she is tiiiiny!

3) Favorite candy?
Apple candy or milk chocolate.

4) Any Allergies?
None that I know of.

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
- Jolteon
- Other Eeveelutions + Eevee
- Munna & Musharna
- Quilava
- Bulbasaur-family
- Misdreavus
- Mareep-family

6) Least fav pokemon?
Hmmm. Muk and Grimer maybe.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
I love them and love making them! Would love to make some for this swap, wink wink tiki ;)

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
Some of my collection is definitely not mint, so I won't say no to a scruffy/worn Pokémon! :D

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
I love Sailor Moon and Utena!

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
I love plushies and keychains and figures. I don't mind doubles so pretty much any plush/keychain/figure is loved :D The space is limited though, so small things are appreciated.

11) Bootlegs?
My best friend has a collection of bootleg Pokémon stuff so I wouldn't say no to them if I can give them to her, best ones are the super wonky bootlegs! ;)

12) Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
I love handmade items and would love to get a box that has mostly handmade items. I also would love to make such a box if my partner so wished.

13) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
Sorry, I don't have one :(


14) As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!
I have no preference with these. I love them all!

15) Which is your favourate pokemon league?
Once again no preference, none have left a clear memory in my brain... :blush: I liked them all.

16) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
I use mostly Ultra balls, and I especially like the designs of Love ball, Dive Ball and Dream ball.

17)Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
Brock was my favorite and for some reason I liked Gary, too. I liked Team Rocket when they were not used only as a comic relief.

18)If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite? (I don't think this one has been asked yet)
I have liked them all, but my favorites are X and HeartGold.

19) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I like log necklaces, I have a rather thick neck so short ones tend to strangle me :blush:

20) Pokesona?
I don't have one, sorry :(

21) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
No significant other, but my flat mate likes Leafeon and my best friend adores Gardevoir and collects wonky fakie pokemon.

22) Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
For some reason I really like G3 as Pokemon :D

23) Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?
I have played so many games I don't have a favorite team. :blush:

24) Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
One bigger item and one to three smaller ones, but I am fine with a bunch of cheaper items, too :)

25) Partner, what's your favorite color?
Teal, blood red and black.

26) What's your favorite pokemon type?
I like almost all types and I don't have a particular favorite.

27) Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
I have long hair and I like putting cute stuff on my head, so hair accessories would be appreciated :D

28)just a quick question as it feels weird not geting my partner at least one pony does everyone have pony wishlists?
I'm always looking for winger and big brother baits. Other than that I am not looking for any ponies. :)

29)How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?
I love all kinds of art! Especially the ones you can put up on a wall some way or ATC's. Bookmarks are also adored!

30)If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
I for one don't care about the country of origin etc, if the item is identical to the one on my wishes other ways I'm fine with it.

31) Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I have a 3DS and I would love to have a cosy for it! I have actually been eyeing ideas for one, but I will put off making one until this swap is over just in case ;)

32) Do you wear earrings?
Not much, I have three piercings in my ears but I use earrings very rarely.

33) Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
X and AS. :)

34) Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
I love them! Especially keychains. :lovey:

35) Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
I would debox them anyway, so feel free to do so!

36) How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon
cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still
pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and
Exeggcute)?
They'd be fun as extras :D

37) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
I like the music but overall I'm not enthusiastic about it.

38) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
I haven't followed the current manga but I'm curious about it!

39) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
I haven't seen more than the three first movies :blush:

40) Has anybody recently bought pokemon merch for themselves? If so please update your collection (even if its text)
I bought some...  :lookround: Because I don't mind doubles I don't think there is a problem. But here (http://splash.livejournal.com/489252.html?thread=4155172#t4155172) is the list of the stuff I bought for myself. Some of it is for my best friend.

41) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
Oh, I love them! So yes for them :D

42) How do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?
Hmmmm, I'm indifferent to Hello Kitty but my flatmate loves Hello Kitty AND Leafeon... ;)

43) a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
I wouldn't mind doubles! As I have no good pictures or list of my items I am actually prepared for getting one or two things as doubles.  :D

44) Would you be interested in a custom t-shirt? If so, what size are you? And would you like your real name/username printed on it?
I'm trying to lose weight in the future so I have to say no thank you. I love the idea but am not brave enough to guess what size to get. :(

45) Also partner one of your items came today and I kinda droped it out of my car and it got ran over :( it cracked now and has a chip but its still in package it will still work do you want it stlll?
Umm, not sure? If it can be repaired easily then it's okay but if not then no thank you.

46) Would it be cheap of me to buy one of those mega tokyo items like the charms or pin set (has 2 charms/pins/ect) and keep one of them for myself?
Nope! I would be totally fine with it :D

47) Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or alot of tiny packages?
I have no preference over this, I'm sure it will be a blast to open them no matter how they are packed :D

48) How do you feel about digital art?
I love all art :lovey:

49) Candy?
I most often buy mellow tasting candy, like milk chocolate or mellow tasting soft fruit candy.

50) Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )?
Can't pick one, can I choose both? They both sounds great! XD No? Then the silver crown.

51) So this is kind of relevent to the swap (it may or may not help with last minute swap ideas) but if you could be born/raised/or moved to in ONE city in a certain region in the Pokemon world, where would your dream home be? Its SO fun to dream!
I'm lame, but I haven't got one I would like to live in :lol:
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - SIGNUPS till 3/20
Post by: cyberunicorn on March 12, 2015, 12:22:32 PM
YEY pokemon swap very excited. thank you for having me again in another swap tiki

I will update the questions over the course of a few days only because I have to dig out my collections to see what I have got.

1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?

I prefer loose cards over unopened packs, cannot stand the trainer and energy cards. mine are to look at not play with  and I prefer to buy them in evolution sets (I am a completest in that way) I have most of the original set, fossel set and the rockets but any of the newer sets or any legendary pokemon you are safe with.

2) What would you like for Extras?

I have a dog that will be assisting the opening of the swap box so some sort of toy for her would be nice.

other things I enjoy are:

jewelry related to books like house of night, morganville vampires or vampire academy nothing to bulky but something nice you can wear every day type of thing.

digimon, final fantasy 7,8 and 10, MLP, horses

3) Favorite candy?

I am officially a recovering chocoholic. my vices include milk chocolate and toblerone especially but as mentioned recovering from the addiction and I would prefer that no sweets or chocolate be added  >_<

4) Any Allergies?

I have sensitive skin so smelly things and make up are a no go I am afraid.

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?

in no particular order   ^.^
 - magikarp and Gyarados
 - charmander - charmeleon - charizard
 - persian
 - Raichu (very underrated pokemon in my opinion)
 - Rayquaza

6) Least fav pokemon?

 - Jinx
 - Snake pokemon
 - drowzee/hypno
 - mr mime evolutions
 
7) How do you feel about handmade items?

love them hand made items and art

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?

as gooder condition as possible is prefered but they do not have to be MIB, tags on plushies are liked but by no means essential and cards slight play wear is acceptable but mint is prefered

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?

Love the original digimon and data squad series. as well as early yugioh and GX series

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is a lot of pokemon merchandise out there!

I have just filled out on my normal wish list if you keep going down then you will see the pokemon swap one. partner please use it as more guide lines than set in stone.

http://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=341090.new#new

 (http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/cyberunicorn/media/image.jpg5_zpsmupicsck.jpg.html)

Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
i leave this totally up to my partner I will not be disappointed if you decide to go either way or a bit of both

11) How do you feel about bootlegs? Plush, Pokedolls, Keychains, etc.
as long as they look good I am good with either or

Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?

No own  trainner/image but when I was little and pokemon had litterally just come out, I was the young person that loved horses so you can imagine that ponyta and rapidash where the favourates at the time but I did sort of design a pokemon but based on a water element and one on grass types. I just wished that I had kept the pictures. haha sad but I figured they needed more horse types. the water one was called droppletmon (I was crazy on digimon as well when I thought of them hence the mon at the end) and the grass type was leafymon not very original but hey I was young

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
either way is fine by me, I leave that choice up to my partner

25) Partner, what's your favorite color?
I like most colours to be honest except ones like burgundy but even then I don't mind that one

26) What's your favourite type?
hard one but I have to say flying type mainly because they have never let me down in all the times I have played through the games.

Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?

below are my current teams in the two games I am playing through and in my wish list are pokemon that have travelled down the generations with me one of them being from leaf green game.

hoen: treecko, voltorb,taillo,poochyena, gyarados  and numel
joto: bell sprout, cyndaquil, wooper and marbeep


Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?

I am not that big in to hair accessories I just tend to put it up so I would prefer not to have any of them.

If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?

I dont think this applies to me to be honest as I have not really given specific items but thats fine by me but can any of the playable pokemon cards be in english haha

How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?

I think for me anything standard size or ATCs because I can display them easily. but bookmarks etc would probably not get used I am one of them people that dog ear pages

Do you wear earrings?

nope no man made holes on my body haha

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?

I have one from each of the sets

cozy

I think my 3ds would love one currently it just gets chucked in to the bottom of my bag and all over the floor when not in use

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?

as long as they are nice ones lol

28)just a quick question as it feels weird not geting my partner at least one pony does everyone have pony wishlists?
my current wish list is above my pokemon one

35) Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
which ever is easyer for you

36) How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon
cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still
pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and
Exeggcute)?


fine by me but I like eggsacue and trubbish  haha

37) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?

i only really like the original theme song to be honest the rest does not bother me that much

38) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?

no thank you they would just get left and forgotten about

39) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?

first one..... I have seen some of the others but cannot remember them  :blush:

41) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
as much as i do like them I have no where to put them  -_-

42) How do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?

haha hello skitty I just passed someone in the game saying it

43) a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?

I don't mind doubles but I dont do much trading in pokemon items but it could be something I could try after this swap

44) Would you be interested in a custom t-shirt? If so, what size are you? And would you like your real name/username printed on it?

to be honest it would not get worn I don't really wear character tshirts unless it is for mucking the horse out but that would be a complete waste

7) How do you feel about handmade items? "Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?"

Batman: (The only reason I put any of this is just in case my partner is someone like me that picks up things at thrift stores thinking "someone will love this!" while browning thrift stores and buy things and hold on to them until they find someone who likes that item.) Please don't BUY anything batman for me that are in stores... I'm kind of picky here because  I grew up on the animated series and beyond so those are my preferences regarding batman stuff, the batman brave bold, dark knight, ect merchandise its just not my style. My favorite characters all tend to be harder to find goodies of, Twoface, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Talia Al Ghul, Ten, and Harley shipped with Poision Ivy. I like the Joker and Batman but I feel like they gets so much attention, its easy to find stuff for them. :/ People get us batman stuff for Christmas all the time so once again please don't buy anything batman for me, just if you happen to find or already have something related.

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of Pokemon merchandise out there!
Do not need: plushies (note plushies are in both sections because I am TRYING to decrease my plush collection due to limited space, however I doubt I could say no to a cute little plush if it arrived, so plus at your own discretion), puzzles, pencils, posters, cookie cutters
Wants/Would Like:  Figurines, burger king toys, dolls, plushies (Please keep plushies to a minimum as I am running out of space, that being said I don’t think I could say no to a cute little vulpix plush), capsule toys, battle dome toys, pens, notepads, erasers, cups, stickers, keychains, playing cards, dog tags, pins, charms, clothes, tins, lunch boxes, artwork, art trading cards, the first pokemon movie (the one where ash gets turned to stone), badges (remember only from the first 150 red and blue), pogs, pencil toppers, mini mold figures, kid toys, roller figures, stampers, stadium figures, Zukan figures, marbles, magnets, coins, bottle caps
 I like swaps that are bunches of little things rather than one expensive item

11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
As long as they look good and aren't suuuuper fake I am 100% ok with it since some pokemon are hard to find. I don’t like the pokemon figures with the bad paint jobs and freaked out eyes like they’ve witnessed some great horror or have an eye melting down their face

12) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
mmmmm rrrrrr.... I DO have a trainer that I made when I was younger (not from x/y does that matter?) but she's very old and outdated I would want to update her before trying to get any pictures of her or anything.

13) As far as official toys.... do you prefer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!
Well I grew up with the first ones but as long as they are pokemon from my list I am 100% ok with any of them!

14) Which is your favorite pokemon league?
Indigo League (that was the name of the first one right? Honestly I was a little confused by that question!

15) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
I have no idea about all the new pokeballs! After the first 150 I fell out of pokemon ( I was an adult after that so I didn't have time) and now that I'm older my little brother tries explaining all the details and stuff in the new ones and it makes my head spin! So just regular pokeball, great ball, and ultra ball for me thanks!

16) Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
Team Rocket as well, although that being said I really wound prefer the pokemon as oppose to trainers/humans! I kinda liked Gary too!

17) If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
Red and Blue were what I grew up with, I remember being mind blown when yellow came out! I ADORE pokemon stadium and pokemon snap for the N64 but I never had them myself D:

18) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I work in a lab with chemicals all day so sadly I cannot wear bracelets all that often. I also have a metal allergy so necklaces are normally out for me. That being said I can hang Pokemon jewelry up on my wall so its ok.

19) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item
My hubby likes Charmelion, Sandshrew, Sandslash and Haunter and my little brother likes Heracross, Squirtle, Pinsir, and Totadile

20) Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
I am not a fan of my little pony customs made to look like other animals and stuff. So no thank you!

21) Do you have a pokesona?
Nope

22) Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
I would prefer to have several small items unless its some super awesome amazing Vulpix then I' m totally ok with just 1 or 2. What ever you like partner.

23) Partner, what's your favorite color?
Gray, black, black and white convict stripes, rainbows, and purple In that order!

24) Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
I normally just pull my hair into a pony tail and am on my way to work. I would be interested in some pokemon themed ones though to try! I had a shaved head and short hair for so long now that I’m growing it out I have no idea what to do with it!

25) Pokemon Team?!
Urrgggg I can’t choose! It was hard enough choosing the Pokemon I love in my list. If you wanted to draw any of them together I am totally ok with that!

26) What's your favorite Pokémon type?
I've always been a fire gal!

27) How do yall feel about art?
I love ALL art, I usually collect ATCs (which are the same size as trading cards so they fit nicely in my binder) but I also have a huge scrap book that I fill with art of all sizes! If its art of the pokemon I love its totally welcome. If you draw on an envelope I will be cutting it out and saving it :3

28) If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
My wishlist is more of a guideline of things I like, I would love any of it but none of it was specifically set into stone so if you can find a cheap alternative go for it.

29) Does everyone have pony wishlists?
Linked in my profile

30) I have a question to add - Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I sadly do not own a new hand held system

31) Do you wear earrings?
Yes but my ears are sensitive so all I wear are surgical steel. I have 10 in one and 5 in the other, mostly silver hoops.

32) Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
Nope

33) Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yeeeessssssssss I ADORE them

34) How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?
I would like any cards of the pokemon listed on my favorites list, as for other cards, I put the list of the old ones I'm missing in the link above. I would like any of those cards as well. Other than that I do not care to receive cards of other peokmon.... Does that make sense or did I just babble? If its old cards from my "missing card list" then yes, if they're new cards of the pokemon on my favorite list then yes, if they're new cards that are not on my favorites or missing list then no thank you.... I think that makes more sense.

35) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
Well I had the first CD (At least i think it was the first) with Misty's song, the team rocket's rocking song, and the pokemon rap but I have no idea where it would have gone since then. I would not mind getting a copy of it again. I also know that the guy on youtube who does the "came in like a magikarp, Muk you, and spinning round that base" make me laugh.

36) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
I LOVE the comics, I really kick myself for not buying yellow when I saw it at a bookstore back in the day. Can it get any cuter? I think if its Manga related to the old pokemon (150) then sure, new stuff not so much.

37) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
uhhhh what was the ACTUAL name of the first one? the one where mewtwo makes clones of everyone and Ash gets turned to stone? Yeah that one, I remember seeing it in theaters and LOVED it, I had it on VHS somewhere but I would love to get it on DVD. I heard someone say there was one about baby Mewtwo that I haven't seen but I would be interested it that too. Anything else no thinks!

38) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
I have no room for them sorry. I use to have TONS of anime wallscreens and posters but not that I am renting I just don't have the space.

39) how do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?
mmmmm I'm not normally a hello kitty fan however if its a crossover of one of my pokemon I imagine it could be pretty cute. So  normally I would say no but for a pokemon crossover I will say yes.

40) A great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
I don't mind getting a few double, I mean I don't want to get a box that is all pokemon I already have but getting one or two doubles are totally ok with me. Like if they're freebies totally, if they are the majority of the box I wold prefer not.

41) Would you be interested in a custom t-shirt? If so, what size are you? And would you like your real name/username printed on it?
I wear a medium in those female style shirts and a small in regular/male cut shirts I would not mind a shirt however I tend to be picky on what I wear and tend to only wear black or gray shirts. I would prefer UrocyonFox to be put on it seeing how its my username for EVERYTHING

42) Also partner one of your items came today and I kinda dropped it out of my car and it got ran over :( it cracked now and has a chip but its still in package it will still work do you want it still?
hmmmm if its something like a mug or something I think I can deal with a chip, I can use it as a container to hold pens or something, I can't really think of any other items that might "break" but you know what I think it'll be fine, possibly throw in a small something to make up for it? Like oh its got a flaw here look at this cute pokemon card? At least that is what I would do, try to offset the broken part by adding little extra goodies

43) Would it be cheap of me to buy one of those mega tokyo items like the charms or pin set (has 2 charms/pins/ect) and keep one of them for myself?
I personally bought an assorted "lot" of pokemon (I think it was like 10 pokemon for $20) so I will be sending my partner a few and only counting them as $2 a piece for my budget and keeping the rest. So NO I do not think it is cheap, especially if its goodies that make your partner and yourself happy!

44) Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or alot of tiny packages?
I am cool with whatever!

45) How do you feel about digital art?
I love any/all kinds of art as well

46) I also have a question partner what sweets/ chocolate do you like I mean like what would you go out and buy?
I think I answered this already in question 3 but I can answer again, I'll narrow it down to candy I buy alot
Cinnamon altoids, strawberry sour punch straws, original flavored lifesaver gummies, nerds, strawberry twizzlers, Keurig K-cup coffees, any dried fruits

47) QUESTION! Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )
I would rock black crystal crescent moons, thats got dark/wicked lady all over it! XD

48) So this is kind of relevent to the swap (it may or may not help with last minute swap ideas) but if you could be born/raised/or moved to in ONE city in a certain region in the Pokemon world, where would your dream home be? Its SO fun to dream!
I have no idea, I was always so concerned catching pokemon that I don't think I EVER paid attention to the actual locations!

50) Pick one glaceon or leafeon?
Leafeon!!! Like I said I pretty much created this guy so when he came out I was shocked!!

Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - SIGNUPS till 3/20
Post by: Sora on March 12, 2015, 02:30:24 PM
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I have a lotta cards, so I'll say no for now!

2) What would you like for Extras?
Lion King stuff would be amazing! Or Disney stuff in general (but no princesses please!... Except Mulan and Tiana, they're cool). Anything with dragons, bats or lions on it.

3) Favorite candy?
Sour stuff! But please don't give me much candy (if any!) since I kinda... Have a lot right now. In fact, if you could skip the candy, that would be awesome.

4) Any Allergies?
Nope.

Absol/Mega Absol
Squirtle line
Totodile line
Shinx line*

6) Least fav pokemon?
Not sure really.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
Handmade stuff is welcome!

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
I prefer MIB/tags, but honestly I don't mind, especially if you locate something from my wishlist! As long as it's clean and not missing limbs I'm fine! With plushies though, I'd like them complete (ie. if there's a Charmander attached to Squirtle, I like them still attached).

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
Kingdom Hearts, if it counts!

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!

Also, absolutely any plush of a Pokemon that I don't already have! My Plush site (http://xemnas.net/plushpokedex/). Please note that it hasn't been updated in way too long, so please only use for reference with the first 4 gens! And to further that, yes, I know that some of those 'mons really do have a released plushie now too. I literally haven't had a chance to update that at all.

Collections
Charmeleon (http://collections.xemnas.net/charmeleon/)
Totodile line (http://xemnas.net/croc/)
Ash Ketchum (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,366927.msg1373963.html#msg1373963)
11)Bootlegs?
I don't like booties at all, sorry ._.



As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)?
I love older stuff, BUT - I have most of it already. So, newer sets please! Especially anything from X/Y and beyond.

Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
I'd like handmade items as extras, please :)

Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
I do!
Spoiler
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Sorry for the crummy pic, I'll try to get a better shot later. And I'd be happy with that! But, you know, even more than that, I love pics of my Pokeymanz...

Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
Moonballs, Diveballs and Ultraballs in that order!

Which is your favourate pokemon league?
Kanto!

If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
Red/Blue/Green! I'm also a huge fan of Snap :D

Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
If it's Pokemon, then necklace. Otherwise, I'm not much of a jewelry person!

Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
If my mother counts, then yes! Charizard Y!

Do you have a pokesona?
Nope... But I have my Pokemon team, if that counts?

Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
Sure! I'd be happy with G3 or G4 :)


Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?

My ORAS team (all male):

Prescott the Absol (arrogant know-it-all)
Gus the Swampert (wise)
Jarvis the Dusknoir (cautious)
Hyperion the Breloom (adventurous)
Mysterius the Linoone (quiet)
Sparks the Camerupt (jolly)


And although lost to Gold's internal battery, I also have my first 'mon, WINNER (all caps, younger self and all) the female Blastoise.

Partner, what's your favorite color?
Smurf Blue! Second is green :)

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
I'd prefer several cheaper items if possible! :)

Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
My hair's too short for me to actually use them :P I guess if you found an official Squirtle headband I'd be happy to receive that, though!

What's your favorite Pokémon type?
Dark & Water!

Warning - while you were typing 11 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Gah, I can't keep up while I'm working at the same time!

How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?
I love art! Especially of my trainer and/or my team (especially my Absol though, if it has to be the one)! Any size is good, I keep all art that I receive :)

If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
The only two items that are country-specific are the two boxed Absol items, since I have all other boxed versions of those two figures. Anything else is fine!

Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I do have a 3DS, but I'm currently using an old Pokemon Yellow Gameboy pouch to store it in ^^;

Pony Wishlist?
I don't have one right now :(

Do you wear earrings?
No, I'm not fond of any type of jewelry :(

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yes! :D

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
All except AS - Getting it soon, though!

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
I would prefer to keep them boxed, as I display items boxed whenever I can!

How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?
Most of the cards I need tend to be from the e-card series, and even then it's mostly just rares and holos I'm missing. If they're foreign cards (except Japanese, unless they're from the earlier series) then that would be cool!

many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting
some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer
no doubles?


Wallscrolls or Posters?
I'd be up for wallscrolls! Posters tend to get ripped when in my possession (don't have anywhere to hang them up)!

How do you feel about a HK crossover with your favorite pokemon?
I do like HK, not sure if I'd be up for a crossover of her, though.

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Wishmaker Jirachi, Revelation Lugia/2000 & The First Movie.

A great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
I don't mind trading figures in the box :)

Also partner one of your items came today and I kinda dropped it out of my car and it got ran over :( it cracked now and has a chip but its still in package it will still work do you want it still?
Depends on how cracked it is... I'm a little OCD on things like this. I guess I'd probably say no thank you if the chip is a bit too obvious.

Would it be cheap of me to buy one of those mega tokyo items like the charms or pin set (has 2 charms/pins/ect) and keep one of them for myself?
As long as it's not the Squirtle line set... :P

Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or alot of tiny packages?
Whatever makes it easier for you, partner! But if it either works, then I love tiny packages ;)

How do you feel about digital art?
I love all kinds of art! :D
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - SIGNUPS till 3/20
Post by: tikibirds on March 12, 2015, 03:24:01 PM
AH yes, please post somewhere on your questions thread how you feel about bootleg/fakies!
If your partner is Anti bootleg:

http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/3315872.html

For those of you who want to make sure that you buy a real Pokemon plush, here are some simple tips:

Quote
1) Use common sense. If a rare plush is $5 and the seller has hundreds of them, its a good bet that its a bootleg. TIP: Check to see how many the seller has for sale. If it says "More than 10 available" on a rare plushie, then you know they are mass producing bootlegs.

2) Avoid sellers from Hong Kong and China. I know this is rather prejudice against sellers from these two countries, but the fact of the matter is that most of the bootlegs come from these two countries. Its better to be safe than sorry. All the Pokemon plushies are made in the factories in China, so it makes sense that the bootlegs also come from this area.

3) Don't rely on a sellers feedback. Alot of people make this mistake. Just because a seller has good feedback does not mean that they are selling legitimate plushies. The sad fact is that most people will leave positive feedback because they simply aren't aware that they bought a fake plush.

Personally, I don't care if is legit or not, as long as it looks like what it's supposed to.  ^.^

1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I love card packs, and loose cards so long as they are in good condition. However, I would prefer from the Aquapolis set and later (I have most of the cards from the earlier original sets)

2) What would you like for Extras?
I love stickers, and anything Digimon and How to Train Your Dragon related. Cute keychains, pins, stationary… stuff like that.

3) Favorite candy?
None? Lol. I’m trying to diet at the moment (though if my arm was being twisted, anything with peanut butter and chocolate ranks at the top)

4) Any Allergies?
Smoke, specifically cigarette smoke.

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
I was having trouble with this section (only 5!? XD), so I broke it down in to sub categories to make my life easier and give my partner a lot of options

Non-Legendary
Spoiler
The Eevee line (Espeon and Umbreon are my top favorites of that line)
Charmander Line
Dratini Line
Ponyta Line
Cynaquil Line

Legendary
Spoiler
The ‘event’ line (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Victini)
Legendary Bird line
Legendary Dog line
Latias & Latios
Arceus

Twitch Plays Pokemon
I closely followed and played in the original TPP with the Pokemon Red run, and loved it, and how the community created such an in-depth, crazy lore for it lol. If you don’t know what TPP is all about, you can read up on it here! http://helixpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gen_1_(Pokemon_Red) (http://helixpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gen_1_(Pokemon_Red))

Spoiler
Lord Helix (Omanyte/Omastar)
AA-j (Zapdos)
ATV (Venomoth)
Bird Jesus (Pidgeot)
Air Jordan (Lapras)
King Fonz (Nidoking)

6) Least fav pokemon?
Don’t really have one, though I do scratch my head at the Trubbish line, so that is probably as close as I come to a ‘least favorite’.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
I love them!

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
I don’t mind something not having tags, but other than that I prefer at least nice condition. So, like none to minimal stains on plush toys, non-bent or scratched cards. I don’t care if something is MIB or not though as I tend to open things any way. Scuffed paint on figures isn't a deal breaker, since I can always touch them up myself.

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
I tend to collect any and all things Chocobo related. They are more video game related, but they actually do have a manga and are in the Final Fantasy anime, so they count, right? XD

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
I created an amazon list to use as an example (PLEASE just use it as a guide line, because prices are crazy over there some times. The list wasn't meant to be a 'these are all the exact things I want', just a 'these are things I like' :) ).

http://amzn.com/w/1P2EY2YG21806 (http://amzn.com/w/1P2EY2YG21806)

The Lucario Amiibo is my grail, because I let it slip through my hands on release day
I love plushies, both chibi and non-chibi. Chibi Sylveon is the only chibi Eevee-lution plush I'm missing.
Keychains are awesome. You can never have too many! I've also got a huge weak spot for pins and charms.
Stickers are great. I love to put them in photo albums as decoration.
The newer figures, or figures from Japan. I collected most of the original Tomy figures back when Pokemon first came out, but I stopped after generation 2. I also love those really cheap, tiny bootleg figures that look horrible (I repaint them!)
Cards. You can never go wrong with cards lol (From the Aquapolis set forward at least. I've got most of the earlier cards)
Like a lot of people, I like to go with a lot of smaller, cheaper items over one big item.
Handmade items are also really awesome, either handmade by my partner, or items off of sites like etsy.
I also LOVE pokemon art. I've got some pieces I bought at convention artist tables, as well as some pieces with my own trainer.

11) How do you feel about bootlegs? Plush, Pokedolls, Keychains, etc.
I don’t mind them so long as they don’t look really goofy or obvious in the fact they are bootlegs. I do really like those tiny, really obvious bootleg figures though because I like to repaint them.

12) Also post any pics of your collection or items you are looking for

13) Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?"

I absolutely love hand made things, so I am perfectly ok either way my partner decides to go :D

14) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?

I have two. One a friend designed for me (though my trainer doesn't wear a hate), and the other is my trainer from Pokemon X, though minus the handbag.

15) As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!

I have most of the late 90's - early 2000's pokemon toys (I have all the Burger King toys from both sets.... so many chicken nuggets eaten lol) so I think that at the moment I prefer the newer stuff, just because I don't have much, if any of it.

16) Which is your favourate pokemon league?

Johto! I'm not sure why exactly, but I absolutely love the Johto league/area (Silver/Soul Silver are my favorite games). Kanto is a very close second though.

17) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?

I like the look of the Moon Ball and the Park Ball.

18) Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?

I'm all for nostalgia, so my favorites were the original trio (Ash, Misty, and Brock), though Professor Oak is also one of my favorites.

19) If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite? (I don't think this one has been asked yet)
Silver/Soul Silver are my absolute favorites, along with Pokemon Colosseum for the Gamecube

20) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I like necklaces more myself.

21) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?

My fiance love Mime Jr. actually. And though not my significant other, she is significant to me lol, my mom has been having a rough go of it lately (breast cancer :( ) but she's taken up playing the original Gold again and her favorite is Gengar.

22) Do you have a pokesona

Nope

23) Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?

Sure! I love G2 and G4

24)Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?

I do! Though my teams change all the time, lol. Currently I am using a team I specially trained for tournament play as I try to get enough points to enter nationals this year, so this team is pretty near and dear to my heart:

Aerodactyl / Mega Aerodactyl
Sylveon
Garchomp
Ludicolo
Snorlax
Greninja

My head cannon includes Garchomp and Sylveon being best friends, despite Garchop being weak to fairy types, and Sylveon always rushing to defend Garchomp or cheer her up in battle.

25) What's your favorite color?

Blues, and whites/silvers

26) What's your favorite pokemon type?

Psychic and Dark types :D

27)Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?

Not really, but that is because most things just fall out of my hair T.T

28) Do you wear earrings?
Nope

29) Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
Yep. I have, er, all of them ^^; Though I primarily play X and AS

30) Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
So much yes lol

31) Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
If it makes my partner’s life easier to debox something, then I am okay with that

32) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?

My answer, yes, I love music! I've got all the official cds, but love parody music and other fan created material so I would love a 'mix tape' of my partner's favorite or found music.

33) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?

I follow the current manga pretty closely, so I'm caught up on that, but any thing else that is part of the literature world is always welcome.

34) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Pokemon the Movie 2000, Pokemon 4ever, and Mewtwo Returns are my top three (though I've loved them all lol)

I love plushies of any of my favorite pokemon. I am trying to amass a Sylveon collection of all kinds of merchandise so anything featuring Sylveon would be great. I like figures and little knick knacks. I love hand made items as well, fan made items. Charms and jewelry are always good.

Ooh, I want to do this! Just sent in my PM application! Since I'm forgoing two major conventions this year that I would normally go to (skipping them to go to the Pony Fair!) I'm not likely to be getting any fun Pokemon merch for myself this year.

I also want to mention that I often buy individual Pokemon cards and things on Amazon.com (I also have bought Pokemon plushies there) -- so that's an option as a place to get your swap stuff, too. :D

Post by: tikibirds on March 13, 2015, 03:04:27 PM
I used to order a lot of pokemon stuff from amazon, back in the day. I know I got the larger vinal fgures of blastoise, charazard, jigglypuff and togapi? from Amazon. And a larger action figure of nidorina and venesaur but alas, venasaur's vine whip doesn't work anymore :(

Hey guys
I just noticed the shipping deadline falls on a Sunday *face palm*, so I just changed that week to a shipping week instead with the deadline being Saturday 5/16. So you all get an extra few days to shop. I will be in NYC for a few days during that week to get a work visa from the Chinese Consulate so I may as well visit Nintendo World while I am in Manhattan.

Yay, accepted! So a little bit about me - I have been a fan of Pokemon since the games first came out. I like all generations of Pokemon. I love Pikachu.

1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
Loose Pokemon cards would be fun extras for me. I don’t play the card game but I like the artwork and I have been collecting them here and there since it first came out. :)

2) What would you like for Extras?
Extra Pokemon cards in any language, any cute or kawaii stickers, pens or stationery. Pokemon McDonald’s toys. Blind bag ponies.

6) Least fav pokemon?
I dislike Pinsir and Durant. I like pretty much all the other bug Pokemon though. Tyrogue & evolutions, Mr. Mime, Drowzee and Hypno kind of creep me out. Exeggcute and its evolution are also kinda weird.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
I enjoy handmade items. There are so many awesome Pokemon goods on Etsy!!

9) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
Very good condition (doesn’t need to be MIB or have original tags).

10) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
I also love Sailor Moon, Miyazaki films and anything to do with the Final Fantasy games. I have a small collection of Pinky Street figures too (not really Anime related).

8) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
My collection so far consists of the Pokemon movie posters (first 3 movies). Here is a picture of my anime shelf and my Pokemon plushes collection (click spoiler for pics). My Pokemon cards are in the Rapidash tin.

What am I looking for: (I will have to research a little what is out there and update this section to be more specific - but I'm happy to get anything that I don't already have pictured above!)
Plushies! I cannot have too many plushies in my life.
Stickers, stationery, pens, erasers.
Jewelry - I like to wear fun necklaces and earrings.
Small figures and cellphone charms.
Socks - I can wear kids' socks.
Cups, mugs.

11) Bootlegs are perfectly fine if they are made well.

Q) Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
A)In Pokemon Y, I customized my char to look like me as much as possible - girl with long, wavy hair (no bangs) and blue eyes. I wore a green outfit for most of the time in that game.

Q)Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
A) I mentioned awesome Etsy goods. Or if YOU are crafty I would love your handmade goodies.

Q) As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)?
A) I enjoy them all! I am kind of partial to the earlier stuff, being a long-time fan and all, but the new stuff is cute too!

Q) Which is your favorite pokemon league?
A)Hmmm, the Kalos region was the prettiest so far, in my opinion. Kanto for nostalgic reasons.

Q) Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
A)I tend to use just the regular poke balls, and I use the premiere ones a lot in Alpha Sapphire when catching 3-star or HA pokemon. They look so shiny and white and pretty.

A)I only watched the first season. My favorite characters are Pikachu, Misty (love that voice actress) and Team Rocket. Jesse and James!!

Q) If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
A)I have played them all and I can't really pick a favorite. They are all my favorite! I think I played the most hours on Pokemon Black.

Q) Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets?
AI love jewelry, especially handmade jewelry. Necklaces and earrings are my favorite.

Q) Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
A) No, hubby doesn't really get Pokemon although I've tried to get him to play it.

Q) Would you like a pokemon-themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
A) That would be amazing! G1, G3 or G4.

Q) Partner, what's your favorite color?
A) So it changes a lot, because I'm an art/design person. But I love pink and right now I like pastel pink/mint green together, or coral/mint. I love yellow ponies and pokemon.

A) I love fire! And dragons.

Q) Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?

23)I have a question to add - Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?

I do have a DS and I would love a sock type cosy...

24) pony wishlist

I have one but it needs updating badly!

25)
Do you wear earrings?

I dont . I developed an allergy to any type of metal n my ears even surgical steel... I miss my earrings

26)Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yes I love keychains and straps/charms

27)So: How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?


I would be happy with any of them.. I love cards..

28) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?

Not sure as I've never listened but am always want into listen to need stuff so I would love official or nonofficial tunes!!!

29) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?

Yes!, I would love any of this. Not ever read anything so I would have to start at the beginning

30) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Havnt seen any of them only been able to catch a couple a couple episodes of the show - which I thought was pretty cute!

31) How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls? Was this asked already??
I'm not talking about the large posters/scrolls but smaller ones that are about the size of a sheet of paper. If I found one of a character you listed, would you be interested in it?

Most defineately! I love art...

32) how do you feel about a hello kitty crossover of one of your listed characters?

Not sure but sounds intriguing.

33) link=topic=366927.msg1380709#msg1380709 date=1427894943]
Partner - a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
[/quote]


I'm fine with it, I am sure Little Tribble will confiscate the doubles! :)

34) Would you be interested in a custom t-shirt? If so, what size are you? And would you like your real name/username printed on it?

I love custom shirts... I wear a size 3xl but prefer mens t-shirts to womens.

35) how do you want your gifts wrapped?

However makes it easiest for you partner! I love them wrapped any way you like.

36) How do you feel about digital art?

I love digital art and all other kinds of art also!!!!

37) Candy?

lifesaver gummies, orange slices, black licorice, chewy mini sweet tarts, I've never had peach rings but they sound interesting to try as I love peach stuff, Kit kats, rolos...

38)QUESTION! Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable

Black crystal crescent moon

Post by: ringwraith10 on March 14, 2015, 01:06:33 AM
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I am fine with both! I do usually buy loose cards that I want on Amazon, so I already have almost every Vulpix card (though I don't have a shiny!), lots of Lapras cards, and several Eeveelution cards, but I do like booster packs and even "starter decks" and stuff. I haven't bought many XY cards yet, and I don't have any Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire cards (are they even out yet?).

2) What would you like for Extras?
 Stickers are always fun. :) Stationery of any kind is cool. I also like to collect anime character keychains and kawaii stuff. Love Tokidoki! And video game merch is always good (I prefer RPGs, of course). Oh, I also love game and anime soundtracks, j-pop, k-pop, etc. And of course any kind of homemade items! And should I even mention... ponies?! See my wishlist (linked in my sig) for a really outdated list of ponies I want/need.

3) Favorite candy?
 That's tough. Milk chocolate is usually a safe bet, but there's almost no way that wouldn't melt in the mail (I live in a really hot area). I don't eat hard candy or anything containing gelatin (I'm vegetarian). Ooh, I do like those little Hello Panda cookies!

4) Any Allergies?
Again, vegetarian, so... Also I am allergic to red and yellow food dyes. Drug allergies, too, but I hope nobody will be sending me drugs! I am also allergic to cheap metals, especially nickel, but I usually am only affected if I try to wear earrings or rings made with this. I do love to wear silver earrings, though!

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
SHINY FURFROU! Vulpix! Also Lapras, Arbok (and other snakes), Gardevoir, Dratini, Dragonair, Eeveelutions (I used to not like Jolteon as much, but then I got my blonde pomeranian, and in the winter his hair gets REALLY static-y, so I call him my little Jolteon now), any dog-based pokemon, any equine pokemon... see the little picture of my "party" in my signature. :) Green, blue, purple and black are my favorite colors, so that's often a factor, and my favorite types are Dark and Water. But honestly, there are so many pokemon I like! I can't list them all.

6) Least fav pokemon?
Anything based on food or an inanimate object. Those are weird. Especially Exeggcute (or however you spell that). And Trubbish.

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
Love them! Handmade stuff would be awesome! Either as part of the main gift or as extras. I know a lot of people on here are excellent artists. :)

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
 Tags and MIB aren't necessary, but I don't want anything dirty.

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
Yes. Let's see... I'm more into Video Game stuff (Nippon Ichi, Atlus, Gust, Idea Factory and their ilk are my favorite types of games -- J-RPGs. Final Fantasy is cool, too.) I also like Death Note (Favorite character: Light), Ranma 1/2 (favorite character: Ryoga/P-Chan!), Black Cat, Chobits, Black Butler (Fav character: Grell), Black Lagoon, Vocaloid, anything Disney...

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is a lot of pokemon merchandise out there!
I made an Amazon wishlist: http://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/KGLS5S61I7XF But this isn't every single pokemon thing I would ever want... it's more like guidelines for the types of things I want. :) I basically searched my favorite pokemon on Amazon and added all the things I thought looked cool. Also, some of the stuff listed there is expensive, but maybe it would be cheaper out of box, used, etc. on ebay or whatever? Someone tell me if that wishlist link doesn't work, btw. And again, I'm cool with homemade stuff as well.

Oh, also! My 3DS is naked! I would love some stickers that I can put on it! Or large decals or skins, etc. Any types of accessories for my 3DS or my DS would be cool, too!

11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
This is a hard question. With Pokemon this can be really difficult. I guess if it's indistinguishable from the real thing, I'm mostly okay, but I would prefer real/licensed stuff as much as possible. If it's hand-made by a person (either swapper or someone on Etsy) I'm much more okay with it. :)

12) Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items? If my partner is artistic and has some really good handmade ideas, I am COMPLETELY cool with that! Store bought items are great, too, but I'm basically good with anything.

13) Favorite Characters from Game/Anime:
My loyalties are divided between Team Rocket and Team Aqua. I'm a pirate, but I have deep, old loyalties to Team Rocket. ;P But I am a HUGE fan of both! I also like Misty and I like Brock in a weird sense (as in, I love to make fun of him -- he's so lovable but just so silly!) I would be cool with almost any character figures or drawings, etc. I don't really know the characters from the newer anime series (I stopped hardcore watching the show/movies at the Sapphire/Ruby level).

14) Favorite Pokemon Games:
I have played at least one game from each generation of the main series (i.e. Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Platinum, etc.) My favorite games in the main series would be (in order) Silver, Sapphire, Blue, X/Y. My least favorite was Black! Then as for side games, I've played some and not others. I haven't played any Ranger games, and got my first Mystery Dungeon game just recently. I have played the Pokemon Stadium games (Stadium, Colosseum, and whatever the newest one is called -- don't remember). Pokemon Stadium was/is amazing! I do NOT own a copy of Pokemon Snap. :cloud:

15) Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
Yes! I love music, especially imported, and will take pretty much anything! I don't currently own any Pokemon soundtracks.

16) Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
Yep! Added certain ones I want to my wishlist. :D

17) Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
I haven't seen most of the movies. And I don't really know that I would be able to rank the ones I have seen...

Here are some links to collection pictures (so I don't fill up the page with pics). I'll add more when I am able to take more!

I know most of this is not Pokemon, but my small pokemon collection is scattered among all of my other collections, so you might have to look closely to spot the pokemon in some of these pictures! And in the picture of the giant stack of stuffed animals, I know there are some pokemon buried out of sight. There's at least one small Jigglypuff at the bottom of that stack somewhere!

Just a heads-up for ebay shoppers- if you want to give yur partner cool official pokemon center merch I know a guy who sells stuff who is located in Japan!!! His name is japan-asakura and he can probably help you find stuff for your swap partner!!! He has 100% positive feedback!

OMG I found ANOTHER perfect item by accident for this one person!!!! I really hope I get this person as my partner! =] =] =]

I'm super excited too! I really need to work on my wishlist though. I wanna give my partner a good idea of what to get me, since most of my ultimate wants are either HTF or generally expensive.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - SIGNUPS till 3/20
Post by: UrocyonFox on March 16, 2015, 10:03:16 AM
So here's a question, are we suppose to make sure that our $20 limit is spent on 'official' pokemon goodies and save the $5 for extras for handmade goodies or can we do like $10 for 'official' items and then $15 on homemade items? I have so many ideas brewing and so many things I want to make but I don't want my partner to be disappointed if I send them a box full of handmade items and only a few 'official' items are they going to be upset?

So what is the ratio of homemade to 'official' items partners are willing to accept?

**note I posted it as "official" because I was considering bootlegs in that mix as well

I REALLY want to make some pokemon items but if my partner doesn't want a large amount of handmade items i can accept that.

I think this would be a good question for us to add to our initial posts, since that'll probably come down to personal preference.  ^.^ Personally, I'd love more homemade items than "official" stuff.

Awesome, yeah I think we should include it for everyone to answer just to be safe. Cause I don't want to spend a bunch of time and love making things if my partner would prefer more store-bought or 'official' items, or buy a few items and hit my $25 limit and then it turn out my partner would have been happy with more home made items (That I can make more of for cheaper in some cases). I guess i'm saying I want to make sure I do/buy/make whatever my partner likes/wants the most.

So official question:

"Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?"

I will leave this entirely up to my partner, whatever is easier for them, no pressure to make handmade goodies or buy only mass-produced pokemon stuff. If you can make me something really cool based off my favorite pokemon, go for it but only if you want! Handmades are always welcome on my shelf! If its easier and worth your time to buy me offical stuff offline im totally fine with that!

This isn't normally done with swaps but since it's not a huge swap and some people have found a wishlish they want to shop for...
If there is someone you want to shop for, LMK and I will TRY to pair you up with that person. I would need this request by 11:59 PM EST on the 20th. It's still a secrete swap though, so NO TELLING who you are shopping for till your partner receives their package...'kay?

Also, in case you haven't checked out the OP lately, I put a link to your wishlist after your name, so it's easier to find. If possible, can you post any questions on there as well, in case they miss it in the thread. I usually do it as a reply to bump the thread and on my wishlist post  ^.^

I want to say yes and I know at least one of you makes awesome pokemon plushies but I'm a little weary of anyone else because a while back I did say yes to handmade items and 2 of the items were horribly made. So, Yes I would be OK with handmade items but only if they don't look like a 5 year old made them :lookround:

Umm...What is the difference between the Moncolle figures and the Monster figures? Just a different language?

I don't mind muk or grimer. I think the only one from the original pokedudes that I really do not like is mewtwo and electrabuzz. Ooh and Zubat.  I don't have a 3DS, so I am pretty clueless about the newest generation.

Easy answer! Both are the official TOMY figures-the japanese packages will say Moncolle, short for "Monster Collection". Its also a little bit about old versions versus new, so collectors dont confuse the two. I typically see the original Auldey/TOMY figures from 1998 called "Pocket Monster Monster Collection" and the newer TOMY's (both japanese and english) called Moncolle. Just compare a 1998 Auldey Bulbasaur to the new TOMY version, the difference is clear! Although IMO both versions of Dragonite and Mewtwo look nearly the same.  Moncolle are technically still Monster Collection and some Moncole figures may also come with a platform. Hope this helps!!!!
***To my swap partner, I perfer the original 1998-2000 Monster Collection TOMY/Auldey over the new Moncolle figures!

If you look at my collection photos tikibirds, you can see my old school monster collection toys in their packaging (hanging above my door) and the new packaging for the new figures for preference!! I have the old and new eevee! :-) :-) :-)

a note to my partner i generally don't like popular over hyped pokemon such as pikachu mewtwo lucario  etc as i feel they get so much attention and merch (although i do really like charizard but hes a dragon so i have to make a exception) also i dont hate any pokemon, but pokemon of inanimate objects don't appeal to me. also note if i have a pokemon listed that in the middle of its evolutionary line I like that one way more than eather of its evolutions such as groyvle and nidorino.

Yes, someone who knows my feels! I truly detest Pikachu, but I don't really hate any Pokemon... I just feel like some get too much attention over the others.  I'm also not nostalgic for the anime at all (I started playing the games when I was 8 and avoided the show because it looked dumb...mostly because of Ash), so I know that's where a lot of the popularity for certain Pokemon comes from.  I posted my plushie collection on Instagram and had so many people asking me where Pikachu was.  Sorry, not spending money on a Pokemon just because everyone else likes it. -_-

This is also why I'm fine with mostly handmade items from my swap partner and why I'm also okay with bootlegs.  The Pokemon I like the most just don't get the merch/attention.

Oh wait, I lied!  I do hate the elemental monkeys from gen 5.  They seriously annoy me.

Right there with yall. Its not that I hate pikachu its just that its everywhere, like Pinkie Pie, EVERYWHERE.... that you get sick of seeing them

Poor Mr Mime. He is getting no love here. He is kinda creepy
I do not care for him at all. If her were more of a critter looking pokemon I think I'd be ok with him.... i kind of want to start drawing him now and see if I can make him more animal like... hmmmm

I want to start making art gifts now!! (must wait till partners are assigned so I don't go overboard and just start making tons of pokemon goodies pointlessly)

That being said, if anyone needs someone to draw art for their partner feel free to PM me and we can work something out. I remember for the mlp Army swap I was commissioned to create a bunch of ATCs of a particular pony for the person to send to their partner!
Just made up these cute bookmarks!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I feel like poor Leafeon needs more....
These are super simple and inexpensive but if people are interested in more detailed work I can 100% rock that as well!

*changed avatar to my favorite pokemons because Lala is excited about the swap*
Done as well!

I finally got round to doing my wish list and taking pictures of my not so impressive collection   -_- compared to others here it is nothing   :cry:

can I just mention that I read the name zubat earlier in the thread. I must say this pokemon is the only reason that I always have an electric type pokemon in my party because I can never knock it out with any other type. they are the bain of my life when I am in caves as I need to swap the pokemon that I would have in slot one on order to get out my electric type. fewf rant over haha

Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?

No own  trainner/image but when I was little and pokemon had litterally just come out, I was the young person that loved horses so you can imagine that ponyta and rapidash where the favourates at the time but I did sort of design a pokemon but based on a water element and one on grass types. I just wished that I had kept the pictures. haha sad but I figured they needed more horse types. the water one was called droppletmon (I was crazy on digimon as well when I thought of them hence the mon at the end) and the grass type was leafymon not very original but hey I was young


I cannot wait for partners then I can start shopping properly  :biggrin:
I totally created Leafeon. Well pretty much. I always loved the eevee evolutions but when we played in the neighborhood there were kids that each claimed the 3 that were out so I had to make my own. I was a vegetarian so it seemed appropriate to make vegetarion a leaf version of an eevee evolution. Mind you this was back in 1996 so Leafeon was not out yet. I was dumbstruck when Leafeon first came out I remember flipping out and screaming "I made that! They stole vegetarion!!" I wonder if the kids that we use to play with look at Leafeon and think "oh snap that girl we use to play with created that!" I honestly think my version was a little more flashy and even though I don't care for new pokemon all the eevee evolutions still find a way to make it into my heart.

I forget where I saw it, but there was a funny comic about Mr. Mime and how they came up with his design.  It was a bunch of guys looking out the window, they saw a mime and went "Hey, he'd make a good Pokemon!" and thus Mr. Mime came into existence.  :rofl:

In all seriousness though, he freaks me out.  To see him moving like he does in the newer games... *shudders*

Ah, thanks for the offer!  I may take you up on that.

I just made a list of Pokemon art prints I plan on buying at the anime convention I'll be attending.  I bought a bunch of prints from a particular artist last year (and saw that they'll be back again this year) and I LOVE them, so I may buy one or two for my partner. :blush:

Post by: Chaosette on March 18, 2015, 07:19:00 PM
Guys I'm in Im in! Yayayay! Last minute but I made it :D
1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I feel fantastic about them! I only have a few, from a previous arena swap actually. I don't play the game but I love the pictures of the pokemon! I don't really like/need the trainer cards/potions/etc. The ones I have are from the original series too I think so literally anything else would be new to me :) and awesome!
2) What would you like for Extras?
Useful things/edible things/wearable things (bracelets, earrings, etc. I can wear the cheap stuff without going green hooray!)
Anything from Madoka magica or my other "anime interests" from the later question. I'm not a huge fan of stickers, I find I don't use them often?
3) Favorite candy?
I love lollipops and sour things. Hard candy is preferable. I like strawberry, watermelon, green apple, cherry. Hate grape, coconut and lemon.
4) Any Allergies?
Nope!
5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
Hehe so I picked a lot more than five but I'm just really excited!

*butterfree/caterpea (not metapod LOL) . specifically I reaaallyy love ash's butterfree with the scarf and the shiny butterfree from season 1 of the anime, the girl one who's pink. If something of one or both of those two came in my swap box, I'd feel my life was a little more complete hehe :)
Cubone - fave!
Lapras
Bulbasaur/ivysaur
Mew
Vulpix
Pikachu ( yup, haha )

I also like...
Shaymin ( prefer sky form, but like land form too!)1
Jigglypuff
Sylveon
Keldeo
Meganium

As for as stuff not on that list....
I have a lot of nostalgia for gen 1 pokemon, because of the games and the show. I'm more likely to like things that aren't on my list if they're from that generation. I usually like first/second much more than their evolutions (like squirtle and wartortle are cute, but blastoise is blech).
Meganium is like the only exception. its literally the only one where I don't like her first two forms.
I also like the new fairy types!
6) Least fav pokemon?
Robots, rubbish, birds (there's like six million different pidgy-type bird things now?!) mimes, all the big bulky unattractive legendaries. Unown. Zubat. Insects.fighting types.
If you find it at the forest at the start of the game and have to kill about 50 before you can even move on, I probably hate it too. Haha. (Bidoof.... :[ )
7) How do you feel about handmade items?
I feel awesome about them ! I know there's a bunch of talented artists in this swap.
The colour scheme for my room is grey, black, white and baby pink so if you came up with art I could frame and put on my wall that would match that, I'd love it!
A handmade plush would be to die for.
Handmade things are yay :)
8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
Not at all! I'm not the slightest bit fussy about condition. I do like things to smell and look clean though, that's more important to me than anything. (Example: A stuffy could have slightly matted fur, or scratched eyes, and if it smelled good Id still love it ^^ especially if it had a cool backstory or you found it on a fun adventure.)
9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
Yeah!
I love Madoka Magica. And I don't have hardly any merch or art from it. I have a wallscroll from hottopic but that's about it. I love Kyubey, Akemi Homura, Madoka, and Kyoko.
I also love sailor moon! Chibiusa is my favourite, I also like her unicorn boyfriend, and the princess of moon herself, and Luna and Artemis. And tuxedo mask!
I also like Magic Knight Rayearth, but I'm not quite done watching it yet ;P
10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
Guys... I have a confession.
I don't own any pokemon stuff.
I don't even know how to make a wish list because I don't own anything at all. I have a couple cards. That's literally it. So I'm gonna try to make one but for now, just know that anything you got me of my favourite pokemon(s)  would be amazing.
I hope you're the kind of person who won't be fazed by my lack of super specific items, partner :)
Wishlist link: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,367201.0.html
11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
Awesome again! I'm all about saving money, and I am not at all concerned with authenticity. As long as it still looks like the character and is cute, I'm happy. Like those super cheap ebay plushes are a good example, I like those!
I should clarify if it looks wonky and weird, I doubt I'll like it.
12) x/Y trainer?
I lost my pokemon x cartridge right after I beat the elite four :( I was so sad. It even had a shiny I caught in the wild completely by accident and luck :( :(


Also post any pics of your collection or items you are looking for
I have a Pikachu amiibo, and a handful of Gen1 pokemon cards, and that is all xD

As far as official toys.... do you prefer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!
i love them all! I love the nostalgia of the old toys, but also love the style and cuteness of the new!

Which is your favorite pokemon league?
ouuu I don't know. Let me come back to this one.

Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
heal ball because a) its pink and b) it fixes all the damage I did trying to capture the poor thing ;P

Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
Ash's butterfree and his shiny butterfree girlfriend.
Hehe does that count?
I also liked sassy charmeleon/ cranky charizard...
Uhm my favourite humans are the original trio, if I have to pick humans haha!

If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
I did play them all :) I really liked the one where you could dig underground with the DS stylus. I also really liked White. Also yellow, because pikachu got to follow you around. Also whichever game where whatever pokemon was 1st in your party followed you around.
I liked pokemon ranger too!
I loved X but I lost my cartridge :(

Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
Prefer earrings actually, but also like necklaces and bracelets almost equally :)

Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
My girlfriend isn't super into pokemon but she loves Jigglypuff, because she looks like Kirby. If you wanted to draw her a picture of Jigglypuff she'd be super stoked :) she loves art.

Do you have a pokesona?
Nope!

Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
That would be incredible. I prefer G4 :)

Pokémon Team
I just started alpha sapphire so lemme come back to this

Favourite Colour
Pink!! yay! Also grey and white. Shhh I know they're shades... Hehe

Artwork?
Yes I would love anything and everything you could possibly create! It  will definitely get displayed on my bedroom walls if it is in the colours I specified in my original posts, but even if it isn't i will keep it and find space for it elsewhere :)

I have a question to add - Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I have the New 3DS XL... Hehe :) got it for 16$ by trading in my old 3ds and some old PS3 games. It's like a millimetre bigger that then regular 3DS XL so most stuff that fits fhe normal xl will fit mine :)
I would absolutely freak ing LOVE a sock cosey for my DS are you kidding ?! So cool!!

I had a dream that I bought one of those big tall black bookcases with glass from ikea and sorted out all of my pokemon toys in it in rainbow order but i kept my eevees and dragons on their own shelf. I told cole that i like the way it will look in a picture and he said he was not going to carry that if we move out...and then he told me not to buy it until we move....even though in my dream i already have it all set up.

Im the exact same. I love the nostalgia factor, but at the same time the new chibi cute stuff is so ..well, cute! I especially like chibi versions of old gen 1 pokemon like vulpix, bulbasaur, squirtle, etc.

Just normal traditional Pokemon for me please


I have a couple of general questions, they might sound random but I have had an idea for some extras

Which is your favourate pokemon league?

I love the sinnoh league but also liked the Orange islands arc of the program

Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?

I though of another question!

As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!


Just normal traditional Pokemon for me please


I have a couple of general questions, they might sound random but I have had an idea for some extras

Which is your favourate pokemon league?

I love the sinnoh league but also liked the Orange islands arc of the program

I generally prefer older stuff... My partner can take a look at my eBay collection in my main post to get a feel for the kind of stuff I like!!

Fav pokemon league:
Orange islands, because I love the art! :)

Pokeballs I like.. Um, great ball :) I usually use quick balls or timer balls lol

As far as official toys.... do you perfer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!

I like both, but prefer the newer cuter stuff I think.

Here is my tiny collection, sorry for the bad pictures.

Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!

I have most of the late 90's - early 2000's pokemon toys (I have all the Burger King toys from both sets.... so many chicken nuggets eaten lol) so I think that at the moment I prefer the newer stuff, just because I don't have much, if any of it.


Which is your favourate pokemon league?

Johto! I'm not sure why exactly, but I absolutely love the Johto league/area (Silver/Soul Silver are my favorite games). Kanto is a very close second though.


Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?

I like the look of the Moon Ball and the Park Ball.

Also updated my main post with this information

I'm honestly not sure which I am more excited for at this point; finding out who out of this lovely bunch of people will be my partner, or FINALLY getting to get down to shopping for them lol

Also, I thought of two questions that I would like to add to the pile :D

If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite? (I don't think this one has been asked yet)
Silver/Soul Silver are my absolute favorites, along with Pokemon Colosseum for the Gamecube

Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I like necklaces more myself.

Post by: Jennifer2004 on March 20, 2015, 01:55:52 PM
So excited for this swap!

To make things easier for you partner, I will update this post with any new questions as they are asked.
Also, I have a post of my likes/dislikes, wishlists, collection photos, and other stuff to help give my swap partners ideas, you can find it here:
Jennifer's Swap & Swap Extras Ideas (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,353297.msg1158935.html#msg1158935)


1) How do you feel about loose pokemon cards? unopened packs of pokemon cards?
I don’t actively collect pokemon cards, at least not anymore. I used to way back when they first came out and I have tons of the original cards. But I don’t have any of the new ones. I suppose I wouldn’t mind some shinies of my favorite pokemon as extras though.

2) What would you like for Extras?
Stickers, erasers, stationary, candy, anything you think I would like! I’m not very picky.

3) Favorite candy?
Likes: chocolate, peanut butter, marshmallow, mint, gummies, sour candy, green apple, raspberry
Dislikes: coconut, grape, lemon, cinnamon, pecans, nuts

4) Any Allergies?
Nope.

5) Top 5 or so favorite pokemon?
1) Eevee and all eevolutions (Umbreon is my fav)
2) fire pokemon (especially: Vulpix/Ninetales, Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, Growlithe/Arcanine, Ponyta/Rapidash, Litleo/Pyroar, Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure)
3) cat-like pokemon (especially: Mew/Mewtwo, Meowth/Persian, Skitty/Delcatty, Purrloin/Liepard, Shinx/Luxio/Luxray, Litleo/Pyroar)
4) legendary birds (Zapdos is my fav)
5) unevolved starter pokemon (especially fire starters)
6) other favorites: Dewgong, Butterfree, Ampharos, Absol, Gardevoir, Kyogre, Emolga, Mienshao, Starmie

6)   Least fav pokemon?
Mr. Mime, Jynx, Tyrogue/Hitmon, Makuhita/Hariyama, Timburr/Gurdurr/Conkeldurr, Throh/Sawk, Garbodor, Nosepass/Probopass, Feebas, Stunfisk, Binacle/Barbaracle, Regis, Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus

7) How do you feel about handmade items?
I like handmade items. It always makes me feel special when someone takes the time to actually make something for me.

8) What about condition? Do they need to have their tags, be MIB, ect?
Good condition please, nothing broken, severely damaged, or falling apart. But tags and MIB are not necessary. I’m totally okay with gently used or pre-loved pokemon.

9) Are there other Anime/Manga characters you collect or would like?
Sailor Moon (faves: Uranus & Neptune, Star Fighter, Mars, Venus/Sailor V, Luna & Artemis)
Digimon (faves: Gatomon, Renamon, Gomamon, Gabumon)
Studio Ghibli (faves: Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle)
Inuyasha (faves: Kirara, Sango, Kikyo, Inuyasha),
Yu-Gi-Oh (faves: Blue Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician Girl, Seto Kaiba, Harpy Ladies)
magical girl anime (faves: Tokyo Mew Mew, Mermaid Melody, Magic Knight Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, Pretear)
Fruits Basket (faves: Kyo, Yuki)

10) Please post your wishlist and be as specific as you can about what you are looking for. There is alot of pokemon merchandise out there!
Pokemon Wishlist (https://www.pinterest.com/jennyfer2004/pokemon-wishlist/)
Plushies - I love plushies! I have a huge plushie collection and I am always happy to receive more.
Stickers - I have a pretty big sticker collection. More stickers are always welcome.
Figures - I used to have a lot of pokemon figures when I was younger but my mom gave them away. I would love to start the collection up again.
Eevolutions - Absolutely anything that has to do with Eevee or any of his eevolutions would be most welcome!


11) How do you feel about Bootleg/Fakies?
As long as they are well made I am okay with them.

Also post any pics of your collection or items you are looking for

Pokemon collection photos:
Spoiler

These are my Pokemon plushies. I don't have many, but I love plushies so I would always love to get more. I would especially love more of eevee's evolutions, I only have flareon so far. And of course any of my other favorite pokemon would be awesome too.

I collect anything that has to do with eevee. I love the art in this card collection, so pretty. I don't actively collect pokemon cards, but shinies, sets, or collections of my favorite pokemon are always welcome. I would also love to have more little figures like the sylveon in this collection, especially of the other eevee evolutions.

I love pokemon art and pokemon custom made items. I got this at Florida Supercon.

Other anime collection photos:
Spoiler
These are my other anime plushies, both from swaps. More anime plushies from any of my favorite anime are always welcome. I would love a Yuki (from Fruits Basket) to go with Kyo. More Studio Ghibli plushies would be awesome. I'd love Luna, Artemis, or Diana (from Sailor Moon). Kirara (from Inuyasha) would be great too. And I would love Gatomon or any of my other favorite Digimon. I love animal plushies, not really into human plushies.

Sailor Moon is my favorite anime of all time. I am always happy to receive anything Sailor Moon. These are my Sailor Moon figuarts and proplicas. The chibi Jupiter is from a swap, she's the only one I have. I would love to get more, they are so cute.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Are you ok with receiving a swap-box of mostly hand made goodies or would you prefer more official/bootleg/store-bought items?
Hmm, I suppose a mix of both would be really cool. But honestly, I am happy with whichever way my partner decides to go.

Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
I do have one, pic in spoiler. Art/home made goods would be cool. Maybe my trainer with the eeveelutions, or with my current pokemon team (I know I answered that question somewhere), or with a bunch of fire pokemon, or just with some randomly selected pokemon from my list of favorites.

As far as official toys.... do you prefer the nostalgic late 90's-early 2000's pokemon toys (older airbrushed TOMY/Audley figures, burger king toys, Hasbro plush, 3d stationary sets, pokeball keychains, etc) or the newer kawaii/chibi pokemon merchandise (new TOMY Moncolle figures, Bandai Kids, PitaPoke, pokedoll plush, etc)? Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!
Honestly, I love them all. The older ones remind me of the what I had when I was younger, but the newer ones are so nice and detailed. As long as it's pokemon, I'm happy.

Which is your favorite pokemon league?
Indigo, with Hoenn as a very close second.

Which type of pokeballs do you like the design/to use most when playing the games?
I always thought the ultra ball looked pretty cool, black and yellow.

Who was you favorite characters in the anime if you watched it?
I only watched the first few seasons. I stopped watching as I got older. I liked Gary, yeah I know, I'm weird. I thought Sabrina, the gym leader, was pretty cool. And Team Rocket was always good for a laugh.

If you have played the Pokemon games, which ones are your favorite?
I have played them all, and I think they all have there good points. There aren't any that I dislike. If I had to pick a favorite I suppose it would be to original Red & Blue, just because that's were it all began. I really enjoyed playing Colosseum a lot, that would probably be my second favorite.

Are you more of a necklace wearing kind of person, or do you prefer bracelets? If neither, is there a type of jewelry you prefer or are you not a jewelry kind of person?
I love jewelry, especially handmade jewelry. My ears are pierced; I prefer dangle earrings over studs. I like necklaces and bracelets. My ring size is 8. I also have a 14 gauge (the most common size) belly ring piercing.

Do you have a significant other who wants a pokemon item?
No significant other here. But I live with my sister and she also likes pokemon. Bulbasaur is her favorite pokemon, grass is her favorite pokemon type.

Would you like a pokemon themed custom pony as an extra? If so what generation of ponies do you like best?
I was actually going to ask this same question! And yes, I would love one! (That is, if you are into making customs partner. If that's not really your thing, then don't feel obligated.) When it comes to customs, I am okay with any gen really, except G3.5.

Do you have a pokesona?
Nope.

Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customized with your team?
Sure I think that would be really cool. My current team is Gardevoir, Ampharos, Chandelure, Mienshao, Umbreon, and Starmie. And here is a pic of my trainer just in case you want to include her:

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
I am happy either way. Whatever my partner thinks is best is perfectly fine with me.

Partner, what's your favorite color?
My favorite color is pink, the color scheme in my bedroom is pink and black. I also really like blue and yellow. Honestly, there aren't any colors that I really dislike.

What's your favorite Pokémon type?
Fire all the way!

Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
I wear scrunchies sometimes, but usually I just wear my hair down. Other than the occasional scrunchie, I don't wear hair accessories very often.

Just a quick question as it feels weird not getting my partner at least one pony does everyone have pony wishlists?
I sure do. I actively collect G1 and G2 ponies. I also collect G1 accessories. Here are links to my wishlists:
G1 MLP Wishlist (US) (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YqYH4hIo6iBvJTR0mOMYKMMzI0dU8E1ZRS6y5TnsUfE/edit?usp=sharing)

G1 MLP Accessory Wishlist (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,349952.msg1103460.html#msg1103460).
Also, my favorite pony is Bowtie and I have a Bowtie army. I love all things Bowtie, variations, customs, merchandise, artwork, ATCs, alternate rehairs, nirvanas, etc.

How do you feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? Like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, etc?
I love art! One of my favorite thing to do when I go to cons is walk around and look through all the artist's work. ATCs that I can store in sleeves or full sheets in page protectors are usually what I go for. But cards and bookmarks are awesome too.

If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
You can use my wishlists as more of a guide as to the kinds of things I would like. Don't go crazy trying to find the exact items pictured. As long as it is of one the pokemon I listed as favorites (eeveelutions, fire pokemon, cat pokemon, legendary birds, unevolved starter pokemon, etc.) and it is not pictured in any of my collection photos, I am sure I will love anything you find for me!

Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I have a DS and a 3DS, but I have so many accessories for them, including cases and all that. I don't really need any more.

Do you wear earrings?
Yes I do. My ears are pierced; I prefer dangle earrings over studs.

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
I have X and AS, my sister has Y and OR. We always get opposite games so we can catch 'em all!

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
I do like them. I don't really use them very often though. I keep my keys in my pocket so I prefer my keychain not to be too bulky, the same goes for my phone. But I do like to put keychains/charms on the zippers on my laptop case.

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or deboxed to fit more into the box being sent?
Either way is fine with me. If it's something that is new/in stores now then I will probably open it anyway. So if you want to debox it to save space that is totally fine/with me, especially if it means fitting more stuff into the box! :P

How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?
If they are from the more recent sets then sure, I have very few of those. But if they are from the earlier sets, then no thanks. I have an enormous bin full of pokemon cards from the early sets. By early sets I mean like back when there were only 151 pokemon. As long as they are from gen 2 or later then I don't mind receiving them.

Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
I do like pokemon music, and sure music would be cool, both official and non-official is fine. The only music I have is the very early stuff, like from the first two movies and from the first few seasons. My favorite songs are Brother My Brother (love this song, such a strong message), The Power of One, and Comin' To The Rescue.

Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
Hmm. Sure why not. Manga would be pretty cool.

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
1) Pokemon: The First Movie
2) Pokemon: The Movie 2000
3) Hmmm. Not sure. I'll have to get back to you.

Wallscrolls or Posters?
I do like them, I just don't really have anywhere to hang them at the moment so they might end up in storage for a while. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want one. If you find one that you think I will love then I'm sure I can find some place for it!

How do you feel about a HK crossover with your favorite pokemon?
Hmm. I'm not sure. I do like Hello Kitty. So if you think it's cute and you think I'll like it, then go for it.

Partner - a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?
I don't really know many people in real life that collect Pokemon items, so I would prefer not to receive doubles if possible. If they are the same pokemon but in a different pose then that's totally okay, but if it is the exact same figure then I'll pass. Of course, I don't have any pokemon figures right now (my mom gave them all away years ago, when I was *too old* for them) and there are like 721 pokemon so hopefully avoiding doubles won't be too much trouble.

Would you be interested in a custom t-shirt? If so, what size are you? And would you like your real name/username printed on it?
Sure that would be neat. Although I strongly prefer tank tops/camis/muscle tees aka anything without sleeves instead of t-shirts. It gets REALLY hot here, and I sweat a lot. The few t-shirts I do have almost never get worn for this reason. I usually wear x-large, I like my shirts to be a little loose. Also, I don't wear white (I just don't feel comfortable in white, again it's probably a sweat thing) but any other color is totally cool. And I'd rather not have my real name or username on it.

Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or a lot of tiny packages?
Either way is fine by me! Go with whatever works best for you partner.

How do you feel about digital art?
I love all kinds of art!

I also have a question partner what sweets/ chocolate do you like I mean like what would you go out and buy? Eg Mars bar etc
When it comes to candy I love trying new things, especially if it's something I can't get here. Through some other swaps I discovered that I love Crunchies and Violet Crumbles! My favorite candy that I can get here is peanut butter M&Ms, I'm like addicted to those things!
Likes: chocolate, peanut butter, honeycomb, marshmallow, mint, gummies, sour candy, green apple, raspberry
Dislikes: coconut, grape, lemon, cinnamon, pecans, nuts

QUESTION! Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )
Hmm, very intriguing question. They both sound awesome, hard to choose without knowing anything else. I guess if I absolutely have to choose, I would say a 'black crystal crescent moon'. But honestly, I do think they both sound awesome.

Just wondering as there are a ton of figures and plush out there!

I prefer the original TOMY figures, The Pokedoll and oter Banpresto plushes, but otherwish am not really bothered.

Man, I've really got to go to bed. But I'm having too much fun shopping for my partner! It's hard to stay under the price limit, too. ;) Already ordered some stuff on Amazon and have plans on what I am going to make. I'm so excited! I hope I can sleep tonight, since I have to get up early tomorrow to get a bunch of really super important chores done (like fixing my car which might break down at any moment, for instance).

Also, while I've been shopping for my partner I've added some more things to my wishlist. I think I'll stop now. I hope. I do keep coming close to buying stuff for myself but I think I can be good. ;)

I agree!! Its SO hard to sleep while thinking about shopping!!!!  Ive got a thrme for my partner as well!!! Im probably going to go over limit as ive already got candy and extras taken care of. Im going to spend about $15 a paycheck on the main items, probably $30 total though.

Also, I hope my pokemon wishlist isnt overwhelming! ^^; I chose pretty cheap items because i want a ton of small items and i dont want my partner broke LOL!!!!

Nope, not right now! My dog likes stuffed animals, though. ;) My cat likes anything she can knock off the shelf. My brother is a fan -- I would guess that his favorite Pokemon is Gengar, but I really am not sure what it is. Maybe I should ask him sometime.

I've already spent most of the budget :lol: So i'll probably end up going over too :) I'm going to go get art supplies tomorrow! And also do some thrift shopping, I probably won't find anything for my partner but maybe I'll get lucky..

If anyone saw my post about being on the train, I just got back to my home town :lol: So tomorrow I'm hitting up all my favorite thrift shops etc! I live in chicago now and its SO hard to find good places to thrift, everything is either furniture or clothes! No good toys :huh:

That's why I was saying that this swap came at the perfect time!  There are always two conventions I go to in April, so this is just awesome!  I have so many ideas in my head based on the vendors and artists that I bought things from last year, not to mention my partner has an amazing taste in anime.  Shopping is gonna be so fun!

Lol!  I keep saving Sailor Moon stuff to my watch list on eBay, and I keep telling myself to stop it... I already pre-ordered three Bandai Sailor Moon figures that are coming out next month, I just bought all of those keychains and pre-ordered the second set of them, I know my fiance is getting me the SH Figuarts Sailor Jupiter for my birthday... not to mention I bought a custom phone case with all the inner senshi on it... Sailor Moon overload!

My ORAS team (all male):

Prescott the Absol
Gus the Swampert
Jarvis the Dusknoir
Hyperion the Breloom
Mysterius the Linoone
Sparks the Camerupt

...And yes, there's a name theme here. Cookies to anyone who knows what game all these names have been taken from, which would be most obvious from the first two names :P
And although lost to Gold's internal battery, I also have my first 'mon, WINNER (all caps, younger self and all) the female Blastoise.

Ugh, so I just got home from a VERY long day of running errands and shopping. Can you believe I didn't find even one tiny pokemon sticker, let alone other pokemon stuff, in any of the stores I visited? I swear the last time I was at Big Lots they had tons of Pokemon figures, but I couldn't find ANYTHING there today! I feel a bit discouraged, BUT I've pretty much already purchased the regular limit worth of items for my partner online. I actually did go to Gamestop, where they had a small selection of Pokemon items, and found a plush I had already purchased online (thankfully the Amazon price I paid was cheaper!). Unfortunately, though, in my searching for Pokemon stuff I discovered that some new Ponies were out in my stores, and there went my bank account balance! (Sort of kidding. Only sort of.)

I did realize, however, that anyone who asked for "general kawaii stuff" for extras will be really easy to shop for because EASTER! Season of pastel colors! ;)

I do! Though my teams change all the time, lol. Currently I am using a team I specially trained for tournament play as I try to get enough points to enter nationals this year, so this team is pretty near and dear to my heart:

Aerodactyl / Mega Aerodactyl
Sylveon
Garchomp
Ludicolo
Snorlax
Greninja

My head cannon includes Garchomp and Sylveon being best friends, despite Garchop being weak to fairy types, and Sylveon always rushing to defend Garchomp or cheer her up in battle.

Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: ringwraith10 on March 21, 2015, 08:43:15 PM
So, I'm thinking that since a lot of us have already started purchasing stuff, maybe we should all try to keep our self-purchasing to a minimum? I would hate it if my partner bought something that I had already purchased!

Also, I did list my favorite colors in my post -- green, blue, purple, black.

Also, have we asked this: What's your favorite pokemon type?

I answered in my post that my favorite types are Dark and Water, but that barely affects my individual pokemon favorites. ;)
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on March 21, 2015, 09:01:36 PM
I agree with the self purchasing thing...with some exceptions. For instance, the Dedenne plush is something I'm sure my partner wouldn't have gotten me, especially since it was kinda expensive. ^.^ But yeah, I won't buy myself a ton of Pokémon things in anticipation of my box from this swap!

Updated my post with pictures of my collection.

Also, I just bought my partners first item! I know they are going to love it! It's going to be hard to let it go once it arrives! :P

Yeah sometimes it takes a while to get accepted :cry:

 I've already bought everything for my partner I think, unless I see anything cheap to add :blush: I didn't buy anything on ebay either lol, I didn't want to worry about bidding :)

BTW, Pacificpikachu (the owner of the pokescans tumblr) is selling a lot of stuff right now! I've dealed with her before, she's so nice and her prices are decent :D

Partner, what's your favorite color?
Smurf Blue! Second is green :)

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
I'd prefer several cheaper items if possible! :)


Oh, and since it got lost for some people:

Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Jennifer2004 on March 22, 2015, 11:53:50 AM
Just bought my partner's second item (well really it's more like three items in one). And I have my eye on three other items I want to buy too. Just need to wait til I get paid again. I will definitely be going over budget with this swap, I can already tell. :P My partner and I seem to like a lot of the same pokemon. It's going to be hard to part with some of these items. You have awesome taste partner!

Also, I have an idea (or two) for something special I want to make for my partner! I'm so excited about it! If I am able to pull it off, it's going to be awesome!

I don't have a team of pokemon atm :-) but my pokemon trainer OC has a chansey and a miltank :) The egg in her pouch hatches into happiny which evolves, but I'm sure after happiny hatches she'd have another egg in there from somewhere as she's a breeder :P so you can draw her with the egg, happiny, or chansey :P

LOL I love my hometown but I'm missing chicago right now. On one hand I found a giant g3 plush at the thrift store here today for $2 but on the other hand... Only one coffee shop in town and it closes at 3? Come on! :lol:

Well I tried three times to upload a wantlist, but my laptop kept crashing! So its updated now, you have my full permission to have delay on buying my gifts, partner!

I can't post my collection pics because I had to borrow my partners laptop. I will keep trying with my own to post them though.

Thank you partner for being patient!

Edit - heres a couple of pics I managed!

I know! I'm waiting for an answer to a question from a seller on Etsy. I've been really patient -- it's been almost 48 hours now since I asked the question. :(

And regarding the Ebay question -- I've been mostly avoiding Ebay, but the things I have looked at there have been BINs. :)

I'm trying to be patient because it's not impossible or unreasonable that they don't operate during weekends but graaaaawr! This would be so much easier if they listed item weights  :lol:

Just found something on Etsy that I think my partner will like!  Gonna hold off on that though, in case I'm able to find it elsewhere.

Oh, I have a question!

Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?

Personally, I love hair bows.  I have a Pokeball one that I got when I saw the Pokemon Symphony back in January!

Yeah. :( I try to put myself in the position of the seller, and think of reasons that I might not respond right away. And sometimes I am at events where I'm away from the computer all weekend (though I usually try to make a vacation note on any selling/trading sites), or sometimes I'm just sick or something! But... the shop I'm waiting on is a pretty popular one, and I would think this seller would be better at responding to emails quickly.

no to pokemon team as I like so many I cant stick to any one team and it depends on the hair accessory (I have a pair of dragon horns I just love) and i don't mind ether way for small items or biger.

I don't wear hair bows, but I do wear headbands all the time! And sometimes I try creative hair ideas... every now and then. :)

Also, to the Pokemon team question, there's the team that I have in my sig, but in the games I always have trouble deciding who to put on my team because there are waaaay more than six pokemon that I like!

Maybe I should try my local comic shop. They usually don't have anything interesting, though (the guy who runs it is more into baseball cards and stuff and only sells comics and other cards because people ask him to).

Hair accessories- I just got my hair cut and the bangs are too short to tuck behind my ears, it's driving me nuts! So I would love cute small clips :--) I also like putting my hair in a ponytail with a bow on it :)

My favorite pokemon types are- grass, poison, and normal :) I also like electric.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Chaosette on March 22, 2015, 05:17:24 PM
Pokemon types
Fairy and Dragon!

Hair accessories
I LOVE HAIR ACCESSORIES!! Especially bows. I have been trying to find good large sized bows (8inch or bigger) for my hair and I can't find them -anywhere-. If my partner was able to make me a bow Id be soo happy and amazed!
Keep in mind my hair is pink... Hehe. So good colours include black/white/grey/pink/pastel colours. I'm not a huge fan of yellow and I hate orange xD

In the meantime though, I managed to get my partner a couple of smaller items to start with! :)

Success! I found an item from my partner's wish list!

How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?

Seriously I want to draw some pokemon but I want to make sure my partner is someone who  would like pokemon art. (I made the mistake once of sending pony art on envelopes, wrapping paper, cards, ect in a swap only to find out they didn't really like art work so they threw it away. My mistake for not asking if they liked artwork!)

 So What about yall, what are some of your favorite art pieces/sizes/types ect. Talk art to me!

Dearest partner,
You have put lots of cheap things on your wish list and I want nothing more than to buy them all for you!
But I have encountered a problem.
Shipping to your country is probably free or very cheap, but to Canada it is very expensive. I know shipping doesn't count as part of the budget (of course!) but I wouldn't be able to afford to get you more than two of your cheap things if I order the exact ones on your list :(
I am going to do my best to find them with cheaper shipping to Canada!
But dear partner (aka all of you, since I can't ask directly hehe) my question for you is :
If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?

Thanks loves :)

For example : if you've wishlisted a monncolle Japanese language blister pack, would you be okay with a Auldey one instead of the same character ?
(This isn't what's on my partners list but this is the basic problem Im having . I'd be able to get 5-6 of one brand of what looks to me like the exact same thing, but it is a different brand. If I got what my partner listed Id only be able to afford one. )

Yep that's totally okay! I totally understand you on the shipping thing (I'm messaging sellers left and right to get estimates because some merchandise is deceptively heavy/bulky (plushes are the worst for this) and I'd reeeeally rather not get slapped with a £10 shipping fee for an otherwise cheap item!  :lol: )

Success! I found an item from my partner's wish list!

How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?

Seriously I want to draw some pokemon but I want to make sure my partner is someone who  would like pokemon art. (I made the mistake once of sending pony art on envelopes, wrapping paper, cards, ect in a swap only to find out they didn't really like art work so they threw it away. My mistake for not asking if they liked artwork!)

 So What about yall, what are some of your favorite art pieces/sizes/types ect. Talk art to me!
*Gasp* How horrible! I have several pieces of your artwork from swaps and things and I have them all on display. I would love artwork in pretty much any size -- as I keep saying, I'm cool with pretty much anything my partner wants to send!


If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
Well, for my part, I just made a wishlist of things I found that looked cool. As I said in my post, the wishlist is just a guidelines of the types of things that I like. But you know what? It would be very hard to go wrong with me. Even if somehow my partner ended up sending me a Trubbish figure or something I would still love it. It's still a pokemon and sent with love (well, I guess)!

Post by: CupidStrikes on March 23, 2015, 02:39:25 PM
For art...I'd prefer something of a standard size (so, postcard, A5, A4, etc), so it'd be easier to get a frame for it or some other kind of protective case, and so...something I can put on my wall, although I read a lot and am forever running out of bookmarks so a bookmark would be very much appreciated!


I have a question to add - Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Dainty on March 23, 2015, 02:54:28 PM
OK um let's see... About art it'd be nice in a standard size so I can frame it maybe :) I also like bookmarks, and I like atc I end up sticking them onto paper to frame and display, I need to get a card frame :blush:

All the specifics on my wish list of course would be loved but they're also supposed to show you what kind if style etc I like, so you don't need to get what's exactly on my wish list :)

I have a 3ds but I don't use it very much because I can't afford any games right now :blush:

I have a DS lite (Pokemon Diamond/Pearl edition!) and a very boring, not-yet=decorated 3DS. And I would love any types of accessories for either of them! I should probably specifically list that in my post, actually, because I keep buying decals to put on my 3DS and when they arrive I find out they're too big!

I have a 3DS and I'd love a sock type cover for it!  Oh, and my 3DS theme (decals, actual home theme, etc.) is Kirby so anything relating to Kirby would be a plus!  Or a Pokemon.  I'd be happy either way!

Artwork?
Yes I would love anything and everything you could possibly create! It  will definitely get displayed on my bedroom walls if it is in the colours I specified in my original posts, but even if it isn't i will keep it and find space for it elsewhere :)
I have a question to add - Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?
I have the New 3DS XL... Hehe :) got it for 16$ by trading in my old 3ds and some old PS3 games. It's like a millimetre bigger that then regular 3DS XL so most stuff that fits fhe normal xl will fit mine :)
I would absolutely freak ing LOVE a sock cosey for my DS are you kidding ?! So cool!!

The only two items that are country-specific are the two boxed Absol items, since I have all other boxed versions of those two figures. Anything else is fine!

I absolutely love art of any kind. Big, small, stuff I can hang or put in card binders... anything! And I save ALL art. I can't believe anyone would throw away the envelopes and wrapping paper if they had custom art on them.

I am perfectly ok with this. My wishlist was never meant to be a 'I want this exact thing', it was just to give people a general idea of things that I like.

Partner, do you have a DS/3DS/N3DS, and would you like a Pokemon-themed sock-type cosy for it?

I do have a 3DS, but I don't think I want a cozy for it. I've got a bag (pokemon themed, ironically) that my mom made me over a decade ago for my original gameboy that I store my 3ds in, and it isn't close to wearing out lol.

It has its limits, that's for sure, but I'm sure most if not all are happy with what they get, even if they have spent less on the box they send than the value of the one they receive is. I for one will be! :D Maybe keep it in mind in possible future Pokemon swaps and offer a couple of different groups based on how much is the spending limit?
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Princess Lala on March 24, 2015, 12:27:06 AM
$20 can get you a bunch of stuff if you really look! If you have a partner that doesnt like loose items or bootleg plushies it can be hard though. Pokemon is always a little expensive, but there are definitly good deals around if you look! :D ebay, thrift stores, and especially pkmncollector livejournal are my BFF's right now. So far I have spent maybe $8 on two factory sealed official smaller items that my partner really likes. Im going to try to find fun stuff like plushies, keychains, and such at a good price before my next paycheck. $15 a paycheck which is every two weeks is very steady for me! :)

And for my partner who is shopping for me.....i have already mentioned this a few times bit I will be so happy with anything you get me!!! :D If you can only get me one item, just make me some art to fill up that box!!! I dont want my secret shopper to feel pressured to spend a lot on me. Not at all! Just be calm and happy, and know that i will love your box! Pokemon has helped me over the years with my battle with depression since my father died so you can bet- even if i recieve one stuffie or toy- it will light a smile in my heart and it will remind me of our friendship. :hug: Pokemon reminds me of very good times and imnot picky!!!! =]

But I did manage to grab a bargain for my partners main item though I appear to have fallen in love with its cuteness.

To unlucky person who got to buy for me in will up date all questions tonight when I Am on my lap top and I have access to a proper key board iPad just not happenning

But I will answer the bootleg question now. Buy away authenticity is not important to me for items coming to my self (when I am buying for others different story) as long as it has no major flaws or appendages missing of course

For official art ones, try Ebay, for fan drawn ones...maybe DeviantArt or SheezyArt? Tumblr might be viable but it'd be hard to find the artists there that are actively selling their prints :<

Also yes to earrings and I have Y and AS versions. If preference matters at all, then it's Y for me (I never even finished AS because I got bored).

I'll be updating my post on the first page partner, so keep an eye on that!

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Tiella on March 24, 2015, 01:41:40 PM
Okay getting around to some to answering some of these questions, I also put it in my original post.

Do you have your own Pokemon Trainer, or images of what your trainer looks like from the X/Y games that you would want art/home made goods based off of?
No trainer really

Would you rather have one main item with 2 or 3 cheaper items or several cheaper items?
I am very flexible, whatever my  partner wants to do is fine.

Partner, what's your favorite color?
Purple

What's your favourite type?
Fairy

Do you have a team of Pokemon? And if you do, would you like to receive something customised with your team?
My teams vary from game to game


Do you like hair bows, headbands or other hair accessories?
I have super short hair, so small barrettes or headbands could work okay.

If you have cheap things on your wish list, is it okay to find something extremely similar? Or have you listed things because their authenticity/country of origin/language is important no matter how cheap they are?
Similar is fine

How do yall feel about art? Is there a particular way you like art to be presented? like do you prefer ATCs that you can store in a binder with sleeves with your pokemon cards, do you like full sheets in a page protector in a binder, do you like cards, envelopes, bookmarks, ect?
Once again I am flexible about this.

Do you wear earrings?
Yes

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
X and OR

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yes

I think someone asked abour Dss?
I have a regular 3DS and a 3DS XL, a cozy for either would be appreciated.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Dainty on March 24, 2015, 01:51:36 PM
Keychains, phone charms etc: yes I love them :) I also need more key covers for my keys, I have a stitch one for my work key but none for my house keys!

I don't mind stuff being deboxed if necessary :) but I like to display stuff in packaging if I have it... I have a method of cutting the bubble on cards so I can skip the figure out to play with/ photograph and then slip it back in to display LOL

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent? Indifferent.

I kinda wish I set the budget at $30 since I am going to be over anyways

Duuuude, Amazon is having a Pokemon sale right now! Link here!

I was browsing Pokemon things, of course, and I got a message that said "20% Off Select Pokemon Toys from Tomy"!

Also, I just ordered something that my partner really wants but is hard to find. Found it for a good price! I hope there isn't a catch when it arrives... (the seller didn't have a perfect feedback rating).

Yeah, it looks like it's mostly Pikachu products. That's not bad, but Pikachu isn't the only Pokemon, people!

Which reminds me -- I went into this store that sells Asian products and I asked the owner if she had any Pokemon items. She said, "What is that?" (Which was shocking to me -- she's Japanese! But I guess it's called something else over there.) and I said, "You know, Pikachu?" She was like, "Oooh." But she didn't have anything. Just a lot of Hello Kitty stuff. :/

I'm really tempted to buy some of those figures for myself -- especially since these days my LJ account (which I've had for over a decade now! Wow...) is pretty much only used for buying and selling. But no! No buying Pokemon for myself until this swap is over! ;P

$20 dosen't go very far..does it? :(

Its doesn't! I boguht 1 item and then stopped and was like "Thats half my money!" I might keep it to keep from going over budget.

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?


Deboxed is fined... I don't have the room to keep boxes and packaging anyway.

I think I've got all the questions answered. I can't believe how fast this thread goes! XD

Do you wear earrings?
Nope

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
Yep. I have, er, all of them ^^; Though I primarily play X and AS

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
So much yes lol

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?
If it makes my partner’s life easier to debox something, then I am okay with that

Post by: CupidStrikes on March 25, 2015, 05:17:55 AM
Weeeell I've given it three days and didn't hear back from the seller so I've taken the plunge and will pray shipping isn't expensive :lol: I haven't seen the items this cheap elsewhere and at least getting them from this store I know they'll be genuine.

Do you you have X/Y or OR/AS?
I have X and AS

Do you like keychains, phone straps/charms, etc.?
Yes! Though, I would prefer fewer of these as I'm running out of places to put them...

Partner, if you have an item that's new/in stores now that is bought for you would you want it sent in the box or de boxed to fit more into the box being sent?

Deboxed, please!

See that Pikachu there?  That is literally the only Pikachu anything I'e ever wanted, and they missed the opportunity and didn't have a Symphony Conductor Pikachu made (I ended up buying the poster, but was pretty disappointed in the lack of a special plush).  So... if my partner is crafty enough and wants to get me a cheap Pikachu plush and give it clothes/items to make it look like THAT one, then I'll be happy!  Just thought I'd throw that out there. :lol:

It was so fun!  Especially seeing everyone cosplaying or wearing Pokemon related things (I coordinated my dress to match the Pokeball bow I wore),  and oh my goodness... so much streetpassing went on. So. Much. Streetpassing. I was so close to completing all of the puzzles in the Mii plaza, lol

Oh partner!  I'm going a tad over budget with your items, and I've even decided that you might like an item or two from my own collection that I no longer want (because I somehow had doubles of them).  I'm very excited about putting your package together!  I did leave enough spending room to buy a few things for you at one or both of the conventions next month.  ;) I'm so excited about this!

I got so behind on this conversation. This is what happens when I try to visit other parts of the Arena! So Tikibirds -- there are so many pokemon in there I want! Arcanine, Houndoom, others that I already forgot since starting to write... But like I said, no buying Pokemon for myself for now! And I'm almost finished shopping for my partner. :)

ETA: Of course! Umbreon! Lapras! Flaaffy! Aaah! So many wonderful pokemans (yeah, that's what my brother and I call them sometimes because, you know, silly adults who can't pronounce it correctly)!

I'll probably be buying my partner a bunch of Easter candy right before/after Easter when it's on sale. :D And I'll buy some for myself, of course.

Also, on the topic of unusual Pokemon cards, I have a few of the special cards that came with the Pokemon Burger King toys back in the day. I would LOVE to have more of those cards! They're the pride and joy of my card collection. :D I'll try to remember to take a picture of mine when I get home. :D

Also, here's a question: I have a lot of card duplicates, but none of them are of the Pokemon my partner specified as favorites. So: How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?

My own answer to that question is that I think they would be fun extras. I have a lot of cards, but there are bajillions of cards I'm missing. If the pokemon is cool and the artwork is nice, I'd probably enjoy it even if it ends up being one I already have.

I love cards, so I am perfectly ok with this. Spare/loose cards in no way, shape, or form have to be of just my favorite Pokemon.

Also, my fiance just got a notice today about the new Pokemon: Symphonic Evolutions concert tour and he said if I was interested in going he would pick up tickets as a slightly belated birthday gift, since they will be in the city about 45 minutes from where we live  :frolic: (I told him he was crazy to think that I would say I wasn't interested!)

How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and Exeggcute)?
Most of the cards I need tend to be from the e-card series, and even then it's mostly just rares and holos I'm missing. If they're foreign cards (except Japanese, unless they're from the earlier series) then that would be cool!

I have a good idea what to get my partner candy-wise. Just gotta find where I put the box...

The person you are buying for is NOT the person who is sending to you.   ;)  Sometimes, you get only 2 people in the UK or canada and neither want to ship internationally, so they end up being partnered together but there are several europeans and a few people willing to ship internationally so the partners are random. Although they were not randomly assigned by me as some people did have requests and others asked for handmade items and most americans don't want to ship interationally...so yeah. Random for you guys, massive pain in the rump for me  :lookround:

and aparently I missed some posts somewhere *goes back to search for them*

Angelberries....you MADE that!???? Im SO jealous!!!! :squee: such talent!!!!!


How would you feel about receiving loose Pokemon
cards of Pokemon that are not on your list (but are still
pretty cool -- not weird stuff like Trubbish and
Exeggcute)?

I would love extra pokemon cards!!!!! I am missin a ton of pokemon cards from the 90's- Diamond/Pearl/Platinum series and XY/ORAS series cards. I also love Topps, sticker cards, flipz, all kinds of pokemon cards :blush:

How adorable is that?! And it's pretty cheap for an import (if you consider $35 cheap).

BTW, Princess Lala, I found it looking up the Pikazard on Amazon, where Pikazard is in the price range of $60-$80, but aside from that from what I can tell Americans can only buy stuff from the American Pokemon Center website? And Pikazard isn't on there. :(

How adorable is that?! And it's pretty cheap for an import (if you consider $35 cheap).
I have to admit, I love this gal! I might have to buy one for myself before they go out ($35 is roughly what I pay for plushies anyway).


I found the box I was looking for yesterday! Now I can get working on a little extra :D

I thought of more questions that i would like to ask :D

Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?

My answer, yes, I love music! I've got all the official cds, but love parody music and other fan created material so I would love a 'mix tape' of my partner's favorite or found music.

Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?

I follow the current manga pretty closely, so I'm caught up on that, but any thing else that is part of the literature world is always welcome.

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
Pokemon the Movie 2000, Pokemon 4ever, and Mewtwo Returns are my top three (though I've loved them all lol)

Pokemon 2000, Mewtwo Strikes Back, aaaand...hm, Pokemon Heroes and The Rise of Darkrai are prolly tied for the third.

Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?

I love pokemon music!! I enjoy orchestra versions of Kanto and Jhoto and ive always wanted the 1st movie soundtrack (with britney spears! LOL)

Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?

I'd be down with that! :) Anything Pokemon!!

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?

My favorite is Pokemon 2000 (i own the Movie)
and Spell of the Unown (dont own)

Pokemon the 1st movie is definitely a classic favorite and its sooo nostalgic, I own the DVD and VHS but I dont have any other merch of it.

I like like the Zorua movie with the shiny Jhoto crowned beasts and the Darkrai movie.

I hope i win this auction tonight.... i think my partner will really LOVE this item as its from japan! :) so far I have candy and a few items already coming in the mail, I think next paycheck I will buy their 1 big item praying it arrives on time.

Also apparently the pokedolls on walmart's website are legit!  On the 9th I may order one just to see... i remember there being plush sold in stores.... had no idea it was the kanto starters and pikachu. Now Walmart sells TOMY plush in-stores? Why cant they start selling more pokedolls!??? Because I would love the rest of the eeveelutions and skitty someday.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: ringwraith10 on March 28, 2015, 11:59:09 AM
FYI regarding boxes to use -- in the US you can always get a flat rate box to use. They give you the box for free and then when you are ready to ship you bring it in and pay the flat rate for postage. I got a flat rate box, so I will either be using that or I will use the slightly smaller Amazon box that my biggest item came in (the box was actually huge for the item, so all of the other, smaller things will probably fit in there as well). I will just have to figure out which will be cheaper.

And I'll come back and answer those questions in a bit. Gotta go run some errands and probably spend more money on stuff for my partner!
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: tikibirds on March 28, 2015, 03:27:34 PM
But alas, I am shipping internationally so no flat rate box for me. Sorry partner but I am not shipping International Priority - I's have to sell a kidney, liver or some other organ to pay for it.  :dizzy:

Same with the anime, I'm not an avid watcher of the movies.  I'm mostly into Pokemon thanks to the games, so I can't really say if I have a favorite movie or not.  I think I've only seen two or three of them.

Has anybody recently bought pokemon merch for themselves? If so please update ypur collection (even if its text)

I bought a Dedenne plush, but I'm pretty sure I mentioned that here the day I got it.

Aww, that sucks.  I didn't even bother with joining anything like that, since it sounds like a pain to be accepted and whatever.  That's really weird that it's basically telling you that you aren't old enough... :huh:

In happier news, this wrapping paper is awesome!  I can't wait to wrap all of my partner's goodies in this stuff!

Me too! :) I don't think I have a chance at finding any Pokemon wrapping paper, and I would feel kinda bad using the old stuff if I found it.

So I was out shopping pretty much all day yesterday and I only came away from it with a few sticker sheets (not even Pokemon) and a card for my friend's birthday. :/

I found no Pokemon -- the closest thing I could find was Pikmin.

I looked EVERYWHERE -- down every aisle in pretty much every store. I was even looking in the most unconventional places, like dinnerware and stuff. Not a single Pokemon item in sight (except for a very small number of card booster packs at Walgreens). But my town is kinda known for not having any good shopping areas. I'm going to have to visit the nearest city (about 45 minutes away, so I go there every once in a while but not extremely often) to do some real shopping. Or go visit my mom -- on the way to her house there are a lot of good stores, but it's a 3 hour drive. But hey, at least I got some good stuff online already!

Ya know, we may have been as I know it's a favorite pokemon of your partner as well.

I wish there was a Michale's here but the nearest one is 40 minutes away. All I got is a crappy Joann's. And Hobby Lobby.

My walmart only has cards and no actual pokemon toys.  :mad:

Do you like Pokemon music, and would you like some official and non-official tunes?
I do actually. Like, I have a playlist on youtube I play nearly every day. I love Natewantstobattles parodies. This is my actual ultimate favourite song right now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMzl5zV7SkU

Are you interested in any pokemon reading material, like books, comics, manga or the like?
Why not?

Top three favorite Pokemon Movies?
hummmmm..... not sure. The first was a classic.

Edit: I have managed to avoid buying anything for myself that is Pokemon related (it has been a struggle!).

Also, does anyone know if Pokemon ever made an Omanyte plush? I'm trying to figure out if I dreamed it... (though I promise if they did, I wouldn't go looking for it until -after- the swap XD)

I went out to the local indoor flea market today. I found a couple of really awesome items I didn't even know existed for a super amazing price! But only a few things. I was surprised at the lack of Pokemon stuff to be honest. I also ordered a few things off line, and like many others around here I've gone over budget a bit lol.

I just want suicune's crown to be stuffed and velboay...not the felt crap glued onto its head. The mew apparently comes with the tag in the picture. Seller was like izgo something....

Ya know, i wish there was an omanyte plush. I love all the fossil pokes- especially the first original 5. I have a few figures of omanyte but never a plush? Such an under-rated pokemon. I love the lil guy!

So I've not been posting much this week but that's because I'm moving house on Tuesday!!
So just wanted to touch base and let my partner know I haven't ordered anything for them yet, but I have my eye on many things (literally, they're on my watch list haha). I just dont want to order them until I've moved and updated my address.
I'm so excited to shop for you partner and I plan on going a fair bit overbudget (not to mention the Canadian dollar is .80cents on the american one right now  :enraged: ) But! i get payed and move all at the same time. And then over a month later, right before ship date, it's Ottawa Comiccon! So I'll have more paychecks and no shipping fees to pay so I'll be getting you even more goodiess partner :D
And once I've unpacked my customizing stuff, I'll be starting on your custom ;) I want to get you everything you're wishing for partner because I feel like we would be best friends if we had met in real life!


Questions that I remember so far..

Pokemon Music?
Heck why not. I'm a music teacher so ;) I'd prefer something from the early days though. Like first season anime, first couple movies.

Shipping marked as a gift?
Please pretty please mark my box as a gift partner. Customs can be evil if you don't :( and I will of course mark mine likewise.

Purchasing things for yourself?
Not a thing dear partner :) I still only own a couple cards. It's been super hard, since I don't own anything at all and I'm seeing such cool stuff I remember from my childhood. But not being able to have it shipped to my new house til I move had stopped me so far ;) I promise I won't buy anything though, because it will be nice for my first pokemon items of my collection to come from you partner :)

Hubby and I listen to those overseas alternat. Metal bands also! Sorry they give you a headache.. I always come away from concerts deaf for a few hours but its worth it... This music has so many deep levels compared to normal music. I didn't even know they existed till a few years ago now its all I can listen to as other stuff just sounds tinny.


On the swap , I have one custom halfway complete!!! Then it will be on to another custom!!! Nothing for my partner has arrived in the mail yet!!! :(

Shipping from Japan/China is so deliciously cheap, I love it. I bought most of my budget from one store and paid like....£3? to have it shipped via SAL. I love you, JapanPost, never change. I won an auction from a seller within the UK and the shipping was comparatively expensive due to the seller using a method with delivery confirmation, etc, but it's offset by how cheap I won the auction, at least.

I think I'm slightly under budget still, though I haven't considered if I'll need to buy materials for handmade stuff yet. I'm mostly concerned about getting a decent-sized box. Hopefully the Nendoroid I have pre-ordered that's released on the 6th will come in a shipping box large enough as I recently binned all my medium and large-sized shipping boxes  :blush:

The price of figures really surprised me when I went looking. I remember back when Silver/Gold first came out and that round of original figures hit, mom bought most of them off ebay for anywhere between fifty cents and two dollars, and they are official ones, not bootleg. That is very much not the case any longer.

Edit: How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
I love them, I just have no where to display the larger ones. Smaller posters and scrolls are ok though, as I actually have a few hanging things I switch out with others about a dozen times a year.

I know! I got most of mine via ebay back around the time of the 2nd movie and I know I didn't pay much for them. Most of them are TOMY or really good knock-offs as in you can't tell by looking at them. if that's the case, my collection must be worth thousands (I wish).

I am also a huge fan of the shipping in asia!!! =) I have gotten everything from those countries with free shipping, or even just $3 at most. I LOVE it! =) =) =) Plus...all the japanese packaging if you order from japanese places are sooo much cooler than the US ones! =D I have always thought japanese  looks so fancy.

So I installed Unown font onto my computer!  :blush:

Wallscrolls or Posters?

Can NEVER have too many! I love wall scrolls! I own a keldeo, pikachu, arceus, kalos region, and omega ruby/sapphire poster.

How do you feel about a HK crossover with your favorite pokemon?
OMG I LOVE hello kitty! =) =) =) I used to have a HUGE HK collection when I lived in Florida!! (allll the stuff my dad would buy me from epcot and seaworld OMG I even had hello kitty q-tips!) So um...to answer the question...HECK YEAH BRING ON THE KITTAH!

I used Rakuten (Rakuten is kind of like Amazon and have a bunch of different stores but only a few ship internationally via SAL, so make sure the store lists this). JapanPost in general is extremely cheap. Postage begins at like £2 for up to 300g, and to add insurance and tracking is only an extra £2 no matter what. The most I've ever paid for SAL was around £15 which was for a parcel weighing nearly 2kg (it had a goddess inside :lol: )

A lot of Japanese figure stores have a nasty habit of over-packaging with paper, though, which can bump the price up

The box I'm using to send stuff in was just the right size.  One of the items I got (which is flat, thankfully) takes up the entire space at the bottom of the box.

Partner I have a problem, you are going to have an empty box at this rate. I keep getting stuff for you but when it gets here I am falling in love with them as I open the packaging.

I just keep repeating to my self no you can not have it put it back  :lol: 

So far most of the little items are arriving as they are local delivery but the main part of the box is comming from the other side of the globe but according to eBay it should be here early April so not long now

You guys are all making me so excited. :D Okay, so on the wrapping paper issue -- I just came up with a creative idea that I want to throw out there and see what everyone thinks about it. I found a pack of Pokemon themed napkins for around $5. What do you think about the idea of using napkins as wrapping paper? I know it's weird and unconventional, but I seriously can't find any Pokemon wrapping paper! Of course, I would only use them for small items. I'm going to use colored tissue paper or something for the larger items (so maybe I should rather keep them all uniform?).

Anyway, I'm not too worried about wrapping paper, but was just wondering about your thoughts!

And regarding that music/Pokemon type graphic: I would be so many different types! I couldn't be a real Pokemon if what that chart says were true. I listen to so many different genres.

How do you feel about posters/wall scrolls?
Fabric ones would be best cause I'm gonna haul them to China with me.

OMG POKEMON YAKI!!!!!!! WANT WANT WANT!!!!! :dribble:

I am playing the waiting game myself....only one item came in the mail for my partner so far!!! One of their items just got shipped but im excited to see that particular item in person. Im also falling in love with my partners stuff!!!! My husband saw the candy and I had to yell noooooo and dive after it in slow mo LOL i told him its NOT fpr you its for my swap!! I told him I had that stuff imported from japan!! =[ then he saw my one item that arrived in the mail and he picked it up and said "waoh! When did we get this one!" I yelled at him and said "PUT IT DOWN DONT TOUCH IT!"  He asked if it was a bootie and I said it says "made in japan. YES. Its a chinese knockoff!" xD he said he had never seen that packaging before.....and i told him its an older MIP item from years ago and its in prestine (cant spell) condition so DONT TOUCH. LOL nosey guys @_@

As fpr the wrapping paper....Im using tissue paper and stamping pikachu heads all over it! We did it in elementry school for mothers day and i have always thought it was a cool idea! You can make your own stamps with cardboard or egg cartons.

Post by: Uninu on March 31, 2015, 05:45:29 AM
Princess Lala, that is a cute idea for wrapping paper :D As long as you put the items in plastic bags or something before wrapping them of course, as otherwise the ink may bleed into items.

I gave in and ordered the rest of the items I am going to get for my partner. So once I finish the second handmade piece and get the items from the mail I am done ^^
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: Princess Lala on March 31, 2015, 06:08:20 AM
Ive actually never had a problem with the paint bleeding, so if ypu want to try my idea no worries!!! What I do is i used acryllic or school paint and stamp the pieces onto the tissue paper and let it dryat least a day before wrapping! I always wrap the items in the leftover tissue paper or small boxes i steal from work before using the pretty decorated tissue paper to make it look pretty! Stamp ink or crayola marker also works, especially with rubber stamps! :)

I had got one for my self no that is in the same state.  Luckily I ould open the box with out breaking any seals so it is currently under the book case trying to iron out  :blink: I am not sending it back because of it being from China otherwise I would.

But on the plus side I have assembled mine  and I am surprised how it turned out. But it has just taken me 4 hours so if nothing else it will keep you out of mischief for a while  :lol:

The new banpresto UFO one!? Ive been keeping my eye for the keychain version for myself but on ebay they are like $34!!!! Congrats!! :) Dont forget to add that to your collection photo so your partner knows you already have it.

As for me....i am eyeballing a few TOMY and kids lots, i can split them with my partner! There is a chinese seller who apparently sells 100% legit TOMY figures and has pictures of some of her stock with the trademarks and such stamped on the body. She sells a 10pc and 20pc of different figures at random but no duplicates.

Just waiting for some stuff to come in the mail!!! 3 items for my partner and a suicune and mew bootie for me! :cheer:

Partner - a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?


Still waiting on post. It looks like there's a delay in Japan, too, as I and a friend have two tracked parcels that were posted and haven't even left Japan for nearly a week (usually it's 1-3 days for SAL). So glad I have a while to wait for them to arrive :lol:

We LIVE in the middle of no where I work 45 minutes north of where we live and the Walmart there has  that blue frog pokemon and the beaver wearing a green hoodie thats it. THe Walmart we normally shop at is in another town that is 45 minutes SOUTH of where we live (and has other things like a target, home depo ect hence why we shop there as oppose to the town where I work) That is the one where I saw the vaporeon plush. They had Flareon, Jolteon, Sylveon, Eevee, Vaporeon, and Umbreon. I'm so nervous that they wont ever have them there again seeing how I normally can't ever find pokemon at any walmart.

Also got some yummy coconut popsicles (as im typing this mine broke off the stick and onto my lap :facepalm:

Hopefully my partners stuff gets here by photo check-ups!
No worries if it's not, it's just a check-in to try and avoid the issue I had with the last swap I hosted.  :argh:

my stuff has an arrival date of sometime in mid may

Partner - a great many Pokemon items are considered "trading" figures. If you received some, would you mind getting some doubles that you might be able to use to trade for other figures or items in the future or would you prefer no doubles?


I'm fine with it, I am sure Little Tribble will confiscate the doubles! :)

Happy birthday Moonbeamstars!!!

I got one item in the mail for partner!!! I love it and want to keep it!!! Maybe tomorrow will bring more mail?

Waiting anxiously for mail....

AmiAmi.com

HLJ.com

Are good websites where you might be able to find some ideas. Bear in mind some ideas are pre-orders, though, but everything is genuine and is usually muuuuuch cheaper than paying UK prices. I use the first one semi-regularly, and have bought from HLJ twice, but all three have good reputations.

Pokemon stuff comes up on UK anime FB pages a lot. Can vary between well-priced and over-priced, but it might be worth a look?

Thanks for the links! Still can't find anything with my partner's fave on it. But there's some other items on there that I might get instead! :D

Oh, and don't rely on HLJ's back orders too much - I've back-ordered two items. One I got after a couple of weeks another...well. It's been "back-ordered" for nearly three years now :rolleyes: I don't think they're actually getting any of them.

"Uk anime & cosplay sell/buy/trade"

"Anime sales UK"

Are the two I'm a member of. There have been some Pokemon plushes recently (I'm too slow off the mark usually lol), and some Pokemon Centre stuff. Do be careful, though, as I've noticed a few people selling bootlegs without realising what they're selling or labelling it as such.

I wear a mens/unisex in XL or a womens 2XL (womens fitted tshirts really tend to run too small even as a 2xl though, so prefer mens XL). I would enjoy a custom shirt and if a name would be on it would prefer it be Tiella.

I went to the local flea markets opening day.. its HUGE and this was a slow day :shocked: it has room for 700 sellers.

I bought 2 jungle boosters and 2 rocket boosters for $1 each. The seller had cut small slits in the back and taken out all the uncommon-rare ones and replaced them with commons, but i noticed and bought them anyways cuz hey, they were still a good deal :) The packs didnt have any duplicates and only 1-2 trainers and energies per pack so. Still got ~40 cars for $4... a few for my partner and the rest to replenish my card collection from when i was little.. i didnt care about the cards very much and lost them etc etc.


Also.. so im not really a card person besides impulse buys but does anyone else think the legendary treasures set is THE CUTEST??

I don't dislike cards, I just don't have anywhere to display them and don't really get much pleasure from any of my collections unless theyre on display where everyone can see them :blush: Maybe if i got the whole shimmer set or something and put it in a frame, or got a bunch of pikachu family cards together, thatd be cute o_o

OMG, I must have that Growlithe! I'm buying myself a copy if my partner doesn't magically get it for me. :D

And on the t-shirt question -- I'm usually picky about my t-shirts, too, but I did put one shirt on my wishlist, I think. So I might be okay with a t-shirt but with these stipulations: 1) I like my t-shirts long (NO babydoll -- those are usually really short!) 2) I do not wear white t-shirts (light other colors are okay, just not white) 3) Usually a medium is the best bet for me. Sometimes small fits best, sometimes large, but medium almost never fails. 4) And no, I don't think I would want my name on a shirt.

Not sure who ran it over it droped out at walmart and we didn't realize till after we left. We came back and one family was packing their things as we looked they asked if it was what we were looking for. Sucks it came all the way from japan only to be run over when it gets here. :(

I woudn't feel too bad as there is a budget for a reason  ^.^ and people who do go over, know what the budget is and that their partner most likely stayed within budget. I did pretty well with the pokemon items, it's the extra's budget that I blew out of the water but since it was only supposed to be $5, an extra $10 isn't bad.

Would it be cheap of me to buy one of those mega tokyo items like the charms or pin set (has 2 charms/pins/ect) and keep one of them for myself? They are like $20 or more but they come with two, if I keep one for myself I can justify buying the item but is considered bad form?

Me too, apparently....They didn't have full art or EX back in the day - just "glittery" ones. I do have misty's gyrados and seadra that are shiny and have pre-release stamped on them.

I had the seadra back in the day I quit all things pokemon for a while and first came back to the games with platinum and didn't come back to the card game till last year.

I don't even remember where I got them from, probably Ebay? I have had most of this stuff since 2000ish.

I also had some kind of promo thing that had a plastic folder/binder with artwork from the unknown temple and inside were 9? promo cards with eevee's eveloutions and something else, I think? I don't know what happened to that folder  :cry: I think they were Japanese cards and I think it had something to do with the release of The Spell of the Unknown Movie.

EDIT:
FOUND IT - well, on ebay anyways.

Tikibirds- i have that movie Entei card!!!!! Im actually missing that Discover Neo collection set it comes in which is sad because I like them. As far as how I got the entei, my uncle gave it to me when I was 10ish years old!!!! :) He got it in the movie theater when he went to go see the movie I think? I also have- my Movie Mewtwo card from Pokemon the First Movue (grrrr I wanted messenger dragonite!) and my Ancient Mew card from pokemon 2000. I missed out on the japan movie collection 9 card sleeve set for Giratina and the Sky warrior, but im sure its on ebay.

I also have some really cool old cards in my collection! My favorite are these card sleeve collections from japan!!!!!

I'm not even including my craft items in my budget as I have all the supplies already. Also heading to the mall they have an awesome little anime shop there.

I thought about it at first and then when naaaaa just because I think the art is more for my enjoyment of just getting to draw/create pokemon so I'm right there with you

Well I hope everyone doesn't go too much over budget cause I can't afford to do that and I would feel bad if I got a box with way more than I sent....
I don't think you have anything to worry about, as others stated there is a twenty dollar budget for a reason and I don't think anyone here would say "geesh what a jerk they followed all the requirements and stayed in their budget and bought me pokmon I love, gah what a jerkface!" ha ha I have had to stop looking at ebay and online because I don't remember how much I've spent already so once everything i've bought from all over comes in I am thinking of taking an inventory and try to stick as close to the budget as possible.

I updated all my questions' answers on page 1

As for pokemon cards YES! That growlithe is exactly what I was trying to explain in my answer to the card questions. I normally only collect the first 150 cards but if there was a new style card like that growlithe in any of the pokemon on my loves list then I would 100% love to get it/them. I have not been in the card loop in forever!! 1999 maybe? So there are SO many that I have no clue about!

Tiki, I recently found that folder with all its cards at a convention! Needless to say I bought it. Not sure what price it usually goes for, I paid 10 euros for mine.

I have been collecting pokemon cards from G1 base-Black/White. I have NINE of the pokemon XY/ORAS cards!!! :cry: I took a break from collecting (i collect the korean versions of each set) and before I knew it im now way behind!

 I <3 the korean pokemoncards because for $20 you get 32-34 card packs. I LOVE the quality of the korean cards! Much much better than the US versions and I always pull around 5 EX cards and at lest 1 full art! :nod:

I also collect Pikachu cards! Will post pictures in a bit! I REALLY want that new Pikazard promo card!!!

I don't have ANY of my Pokemon cards from when I was younger (like 4th and 5th grade).  I would spend my allowance on them every other week, but then as a punishment for something (seriously can't even remember what I did), my step-dad threw my entire collection away.  :cry:

Now I exclusively collect Japanese cards.  I started doing that with the first release from gen 6.

OMG I SWEAR you and I are the SAME!!!! I was obsessed....I mean super obsessed withpikemon when it came out!!! ANY oppurtunity I had I bought pokemon cards or pokemon toys. Especially at garage sales! I ACCIDENTLY broke a door and got in trouble, and my stepdad at the time (i have had many a stepdad) threw all my pokemon cards away. I got depressed and started to stop eatting, i noticed my Misty doll was missing and i tore my bedroom apart looking for it. Stepdad throws almost all my pokemon items away- including my electronic lugia (my original one) who I saw break its wings off and throw it into his work compactor....... i can NEVER unsee it.
:bawl: :cry: :yikes: :sad:
Little did my mom know I have aspergers syndrome which made it a zillion times worse for me. My stepdad blamed my bad grades on pokemon... i heard him tell my mom that that was the reason he did that to my pokemons. Luckily.... I had my gameboy hidden at the time in my stuffed animal collection so i still have some or my original toys and games. But trying to take something like pokemon away from a child's life forever is horrible. It really f'd up my childhood and i went to therapy for years because of that. Im glad my mom divorced him.

Now its my life-time goal to recover all the older pokemon toys I once had!! Im actually pretty close!!! :-)  i have actually sooooo many more pokemon cards and toys than i did as a kid!!!! Just still trying to geafually recover the burger king toys and original auldey/tomy figures i owned! I luckily found the same Lugia online and impulse bought! I love jim every single day <3

I don't know where most of my pokemon stuff went, tbh I didn't have that much but I did decide I needed all the games.. So I had red, blue, yellow, gold, crystal, and silver, then once I got sapphire I started only getting one version lol. I remember I had a pbp blastoise from my cousin but my mom threw him out because he had a hole in him and the styrofoam beads got everywhere. I don't blame her hahaha

No new Pokémon in the mail!!! :( I'm getting very impatient!!! Where are you swap items?!!! Gah... Sorry I went mia for a few days. We are having some work done on our bedroom and its been hard to get online... Fell asleep on the couch early yesterday and tonight its back to work!

About a cracked (ran over) item. I prefer my items uncracked, but if you are going to throw item away, I would gladly give it a home as long as it isn't a huge distracting crack...

I love this and wish I was that talented fingers crossed we will all be that happy openning up our swap boxes.

I got a load of cards from eBay today along with some figures, gutted that most of them appear to be fakes but with the price I paid it is no big deal as I can make money back on the figures if I wanted to. Though my partner will be getting a couple of them. Figures not the fake cards you will not be getting any of them haha. Though some are very cute o might just keep a couple of them and bin the rest. Cannot stand fake cards

Post by: ringwraith10 on April 07, 2015, 01:51:01 PM
I forgot to tell you guys about the ridiculous deal I made this weekend! So I'm moving, and I was packing stuff up and decided to weed out the few games I own that I don't really care about. I took out four N64 games that I thought I could live without and (after looking them up on Ebay and determining they're not worth a lot) took them to trade in at a local game store. For those four games, the trade-in value was only about $8 (so like $2 per game. Meh.). So I was thinking I probably wouldn't trade them, but then... what do I find sparkling in the sunlight of the DS cabinet... but a copy of the ever elusive Pokemon Heart Gold! And yes, I know my local Gamestop has like three copies of that game, but I decided to ask what the price on it was anyway.

They were selling it for $18. I repeat: $18. At GameStop it goes for $40 and online it reaches $90 or above! So, after trading in my old games, I got it for $10.

Pokemon Heart Gold for $10, people! I was so freaking excited! I guess it was fate that made me accidentally skip that Pokemon release (though I don't always buy the re-makes) so I could get it later for a dirt cheap price. I skipped out of that store as quickly as I could before the manager could show up and tell his employee that he gave it to me for the wrong price!

Anyway, sorry partner -- it's not for you -- but I'm going to keep my eye on that store for more incredible bargains!

Me too, mostly! I was surprised, because normally I can find stuff in the import stores in Seattle. But I think a lot of it was at the conventions. It's super convention season right now, and I went to the wrong one for Pokemon stuff (I went to Emerald City Comic Con). While there was a lot of Pokemon art by various comics artists, that was pretty much it. xD

All the stuff I ordered arrived already, though. :)

I got everything I ordered for my partner, so this isn't related to that, but I had a package from China go to New York (okay, good, that's just a state above me), then it went to Florida and now it says "Delivered, In/At Mailbox" in some place in Georgia... which is no where near Pennsylvania sooo... I guess I spoke too soon when I said I had been having good luck with the post office.  Now I don't think I'll be seeing my fakie ponies that I've been waiting over a month for.  :wail:

In other news, Steel City Con is this upcoming weekend and I plan on buying a few things for my partner!  I'm hoping I can find some nice Pokemon plushies and a figure or two.

What kind of fakies did you order Moonbeam? I (who happens to live in Georgia) got sine fakies I ordered from China delivered yesterday. They were those cute little flocked ones with the elemental hair and symbols. I ordered from a china vendor as well. Wouldn't it be crazy if they sent you MY tracking number?!

Lala, I'm getting those fakies as well but they're from a giant Facebook group order. :)

Also totally used up the Pokemon wrapping paper on three of your things, partner. I'll take a teaser picture when I get home, because my wrapping skills were on point for once!

An auction is ending today! Hopefully I'll get it, since it's perfect for my partner!

When it's closer to the release, trust me, there'll be a whole load of people selling him for a similar price. Poke Loot only ships to the UK because there's already loads of people out there who serve US folk (at least, that's what I read on their Facebook page!).

Otherwise, you could probably trade for one - There's over 100 plushies on PokemonCenter.com, and Europeans can buy 0 of them. Seriously, I'd probably trade a Pikazard for a couple of the smaller plushies on there! XD

Aw, that's a shame! If I see anyone else selling them for a reasonable price that will ship to you, I'll be sure to send you a PM!

And yeah, we can't. They say it's due to safety precautions, but it doesn't make sense since some of the exact same items passed the European safety standards when they opened Pokemon Center Paris!

Aahaaaaaaa I had the BEST Ebay seller ever! The item arrived today and they included extra stuff they found  :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Gonna pass the windfall on to my partner for sure!

And boooo to the postman for not getting a signature for the delivery and for the tear in the packaging. I really don't get how most of my international post arrives in perfect condition but I constantly have issues with domestic post  :mad:

Oh my gosh, this is SO true!!! All my mail from japan and china has aleays been perfectly packaged but even a letter.....a LETTER from domestic will be all torn up and taped, covered in dirt!!! Dont even get me started on the packages.....one of my WLF shirt orders came crushed. Good thing it was just a shirt.....

It doesn't help that it seems many stores England have no idea of how to pack anything fragile/valuable - if you post something in a box with no protective packaging, or only put it on one or two sides, any dents in the box gets WILL damage the contents. A box is better than an envelope but they're not infallible, especially as often the boxes used for domestic post are flimsy things  -_- Even so, still astounding that a box coming thousands of miles arrives without a single dent, yet something coming from 30 miles away arrives looking like it was kicked to my door. Makes me wonder if English stores aren't using already-damaged boxes or something.

What kind of fakies did you order Moonbeam? I (who happens to live in Georgia) got sine fakies I ordered from China delivered yesterday. They were those cute little flocked ones with the elemental hair and symbols. I ordered from a china vendor as well. Wouldn't it be crazy if they sent you MY tracking number?! I'm always looking for crazy coincidences like that!

Those are the ones! They totally sent me your tracking number, omg! I messaged them last night and asked if there had been a mistake and they sent me the correct one. Tooooo funny! :lol:

Lala, I'm getting those fakies as well but they're from a giant Facebook group order. :)

Also totally used up the Pokemon wrapping paper on three of your things, partner. I'll take a teaser picture when I get home, because my wrapping skills were on point for once!

That bootie isn't too bad! I think that might be one of the few Pikachu things I wouldn't mind owning.

Thats insane!! When you said "somewhere in GA" I thought oh man I live in boony bummble out in no where georgia! AND I happen to get fakies, from china, yesterday. ha ha too many coincidences, crazy that we both ordered them from the same person ha ha

I don't have ANY of my Pokemon cards from when I was younger (like 4th and 5th grade).  I would spend my allowance on them every other week, but then as a punishment for something (seriously can't even remember what I did), my step-dad threw my entire collection away.  :cry:

Now I exclusively collect Japanese cards.  I started doing that with the first release from gen 6.

OMG I SWEAR you and I are the SAME!!!! I was obsessed....I mean super obsessed withpikemon when it came out!!! ANY oppurtunity I had I bought pokemon cards or pokemon toys. Especially at garage sales! I ACCIDENTLY broke a door and got in trouble, and my stepdad at the time (i have had many a stepdad) threw all my pokemon cards away. I got depressed and started to stop eatting, i noticed my Misty doll was missing and i tore my bedroom apart looking for it. Stepdad throws almost all my pokemon items away- including my electronic lugia (my original one) who I saw break its wings off and throw it into his work compactor....... i can NEVER unsee it.
:bawl: :cry: :yikes: :sad:
Little did my mom know I have aspergers syndrome which made it a zillion times worse for me. My stepdad blamed my bad grades on pokemon... i heard him tell my mom that that was the reason he did that to my pokemons. Luckily.... I had my gameboy hidden at the time in my stuffed animal collection so i still have some or my original toys and games. But trying to take something like pokemon away from a child's life forever is horrible. It really f'd up my childhood and i went to therapy for years because of that. Im glad my mom divorced him.

Now its my life-time goal to recover all the older pokemon toys I once had!! Im actually pretty close!!! :-)  i have actually sooooo many more pokemon cards and toys than i did as a kid!!!! Just still trying to geafually recover the burger king toys and original auldey/tomy figures i owned! I luckily found the same Lugia online and impulse bought! I love jim every single day <3

Something very similar happened to me with my stepdad as a child. He got rid of my dog that Id had forever, because the dog didn't like him. It didn't bite him or anything, just, was my best friend and not his, so he made my mom get rid of it. I cried and screamed about it for days and as much as it never ever comes up in conversation, I've never forgiven either of them for it.
He'd make fun of me for everything I liked, like pokemon etc, so I never got to own anything which is why I don't have a collection. Now that I'm an adult, I'm looking forward to starting the collection I never had, with this swap and some positive memories :)
What misty doll did you have PrincessLala? I used to pine after all that 90s stuff so I love rediscovering some of it.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: ringwraith10 on April 08, 2015, 12:42:31 PM
Yeah, stepdads suck.

UrocyonFox and Moonbeam: That is such a hilarious story! So funny that that happened.

I had to order everything  -_-

Me too, mostly! I was surprised, because normally I can find stuff in the import stores in Seattle. But I think a lot of it was at the conventions. It's super convention season right now, and I went to the wrong one for Pokemon stuff (I went to Emerald City Comic Con). While there was a lot of Pokemon art by various comics artists, that was pretty much it. xD

That is so surprising! I usually see so much Pokemon stuff at ALL of the conventions I go to (not just anime conventions)! Maybe there is some sort of Pokemon conspiracy afoot...

And on the subject of mail -- I'm always mad at my post office. They always screw up stuff. I'm almost happy to hear that I'm not the only one, though that means there's a problem with the system as a whole. :/ I rarely have problems with UPS, though... maybe I will end up sending my partner's package that way (even though I already got a flat rate box from the USPS).

Holy cow this thread exploded again! I came back and had something like three pages to dig through XD (I was also wondering if we would manage to hit page limit by the time this was over or not)

Also, there was a question about if I had any problem with receiving an accidentally damaged item?
So long as it isn't too bad, I don't mind, and would give it a loving home.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Shopping time
Post by: ringwraith10 on April 08, 2015, 08:46:32 PM
Oh right, the question about the damaged item...


Hmmmmm... I really don't know how to answer that one! I wouldn't want to turn down a lovingly purchased and imported collectible, but if the damage is really bad or if it won't display very well, I don't know what I would do with it! Maybe if it were something I could glue or something... I just don't know. I guess it would be up to the sender's discretion whether it is okay to send or not. Maybe it would have to turn into an "extra" rather than a main swap item?

Hey all! I'm not sure how many of you are including handmade gifts... But I thought I would throw this out there if anyone likes these.

She's made well over 300 characters now, sooooo many aren't listed. <_< I think she's crazy cuz she cuts them all out with scissors but they only cost $4-8 (depending on complexity and if she has made a pattern)

Those pins are amazing! I see so many I like! Pokemon, Digimon, Studio Ghibli, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, they're all awesome!


Partner, all the items I ordered for you have arrived and they are all in perfect condition! Even better than I thought they would be, since some were from eBay and sometimes you don't know what to expect, but they're all great! Also, the two items I am making for you are coming all nicely, I am very excited about them, I can't wait for you to see them! And I found a few more things I want to order for you, they are small things since I have already overspent, but they are awesome nonetheless!

Those are cute! I do collect pins. I forget to wear them xD Except I have an Invader Zim pin that I always have on my winter coat. I should wear pins more! Like, on my cardigans at work :)

Oh! I also have this Pikachu cardigan and I wear it sometimes to work: http://www.welovefine.com/pokemonboyfriendcardigan-8896/search/pikachu.html I love it!! This site has a lot of cute stuff.

I just found my original Marill lunchbox. :D

Tikibirds- I can take a screenshot of my purchase history for my partner if needed! Just playing the waiting game! You have already seen some of the goodies but i can do as needed!

So i have spent almost exactly $30, give or take a few dimes extra. Extras are taken care of!!! Waiting for stuff to arrive and wrap-up!!! :-) I will need me a big ol' box *takes one from work* lololol. Plenty of small fun items, my partners box is going to be awesome! I would say $30 is a good limit for future pokemon swaps.

I am not allowed to buy anything more till a week Monday when I get paid not fair keep seeing things for my partner  :(. I need extras and to find nice wrapping paper.


Maybe a few extra fits for the main box but I must be over budget now there is just so much stuff out there.

Though partner my hand made bits did not. Exactly look well anything like what I was planning so I think I will have to cheet and buy from someone else instead. But there will be something in there by me but I cannot promise that it will be very good I am not exactly the best artist

I feel your pain cyberunicorn.
I can't buy anything either because I have a chinchilla who won't eat on her own, so I have to force feed her this green stuff (basically powdered hay that you mix with water and feed via syringe) but the stuff is only avalible by perscription  in New York and the vets here 1) do not deal with exotic animals or 2) won't sell me a bag without a full medical visit  >_<
I have enough for one more feeding then I am out of it. so needless to say, it always costs a small fortune to take her to the vet. And I have nothing to feed her till monday which is dangerous in itself for chins.

maybe try, not attacking me every 3 steps in the dark cave??

am I the only one not doing hand made stuff? I like to craft but it never looks good  >_<

If the trial run of what I want to make doesn't work out, then I won't be including handmade stuff.

I made a shrinlky dink Lapras for a christmas ornament. It took up the whole page then I shrank it and it was like a inch tall.  :lookround:

I made a suicune shrinky dink when i was little! I was so mad how tiny it got xD

So I bought 1 last thing for the swap and someone threw in a tiny freebie but idk when the item will get here. Probably a week. Is our thread almost at the maximum page already!? This is the most active swap ever!

I bought one thing at the con today and it was MLP related sooooo... maybe next weekend I'll find something at the con for my partner!  There was a booth with a ton of Pokemon plushies (and way too many Nendoroid figures that I need in my life), but they were expensive.  Since the con next week is more focused on Japanese culture and whatnot, I'll probably find more.

Personally Ash is the reason I stopped watching the show =A=; they should have had a new main character long ago...plus he grates on my nerves now.

I just watch it in japanese nowadays, easier on the ear.

I'm a huge pokeshipper but after starting to watch XY, I fell in love with Serena and started on amourshipping. To me, as I've had a loooong break from the anime (from the episode Misty left, to XY) Ash is so different now to how he was then he is almost a different character!


Who would like to see some of my latest plushies?

Ash is the reason I couldn't get into the show, period.  He's been an annoyance, imo, since the beginning.  Thank goodness for the games, otherwise I wouldn't be as big a Pokemon fan as I am.

Angelberries, those are your plushies!? I saw them on pkmncollectors! In love with the eevee and dragonite- especially dragonite!

I can ONLY watch the pokemon show in japanese. I HATE the VA for ash ever since veronica taylor had to stop. The new VA....is always trying to hard and the "pikachu, lets go!" Every. Battle. Makes my eardrums bleed and its annoying.

She made them  :inlove:

It's the voice of James now that I hate. And Meowth. Oddly enough james is currently voiced by one of the original voice actors - the voice of gary.  Their is also a girl that styaed on after 4kids lost the rights for pokeon but I think she did mostly extras and pokemon voices.

I have a tiny bit of nostalgia for the 4kids dub of the original anime, but I find it unwatchable now I'm less naive, as it's one of those aggressive Western-ised monstrosities that removed a lot of cultural references, and Celestia knows what else, for no logical reason (it was so confusing to me as a kid that they aggressively called the onigiri "onions", when they didn't look like onions, nor is it common for people to eat whole onions....). Ah, the 90s.

In one episode I think they called those riceballs donuts at one point!? I think in an episode with krabby too. xD I never made sense to me. Looks NOTHING like a donut. Even as and 6 year old I knew that was rice LOL

That's a pretty rare one.  My fiancé collects all things Regigigas and said he paid a little over $10 for that particular one, since it's harder to find.

Congrats on the Regigas card Tiki!

I bought another thing for my partner today that was a big want of theirs :) I had to message so many ebay sellers before someone would give me a proper shipping quote. But it's all sorted now! I'm very excited :) there's other things I really want to order but I think I'd really be blowing the budget out of the water at that point. We will see though ;)

Seriously. 721 Pokemon and Pikachu gets to be the icon all of the time.  Although I find it funny that, because of the Kirby theme I'm using, it looks like Kirby is always eating Pikachu and the other Pokemon that float around the top screen when I choose a game. :devious:

Hahaha!  Yup, Pikachu is the Pinkie Pie of Pokemon!

But I'm really happy about it because I really wanted to find a way to spoil my partner and throwing caution to the wind to buy things for someone else feels awesome. (I'm always anxiety ridden when I buy things for myself).

You could always work nights with me! :D 9pm-7am 5 days a week, sometimes I dont get off work until 9am. Blaaaah. I cant believe i wanted two jobs -_- around 4am I get sooooo tired! It is very very quiet at work at that hour.... no customers and no freight. I usually just go to the bathroom and bug ya'll on the chatboard or here LOL.

So im just waiting on two minor swap things in the mail! One is from netherlands and 1 will be here tomorrow! I need it to decorate my swap box!

Congrats on your new job!  I completely understand how you feel, and I've been at my job for over a year now.  Still not completely used to waking up at 6:30am and getting home at 3:30pm.  Just feels like such a loooooong day sitting at this desk. :zzz:

I have always worked nights -usually 11pm-7 AM or 4 pm-12 AM.

and partner, one of your extras arrived - in like 50 pieces. It took me forever to assemble the thing as there was no instructions - just a baggie with all the parts

Thanks! I'm just glad it's summer so it's at least still light when I get home at 5:30 :lol: when I have to get the bus I'll be home much later, though  :cry: Stupid crap bus times! I work on a huge business park so you'd think there would be regular service but nope :/

The last item I ordered for my partner came across seas to New York where it sat for a full week!!! Then it was delivered to Florida and it sat there for 3 days! In  that time from south Georgia I could have walked to that Florida post office and picked it up and walked home. I don't know where the heck it is now!

They came with southern island promo cards. I love card art that forms a scene and I really like southern island stuff :) I think there are 3 others I need, and all the cards of course.... They also came in a cute sleeve hmm it would probably be cheaper to buy mint cards in the set but i'm dumb ;)

If the trial run of what I want to make doesn't work out, then I won't be including handmade stuff.

With Pokemon collectors, some sellers link back to their own journals for sales, if you want something, just comment on private journals or message them, maybe?

last item came in, it was a small random lot I purchased that I wasn hoping might contain one of my partner's pokemon however it was not. It also had alot of new pokemon that I am not familiar with so those will be going up for trade as I only collect the first 150.

Partner Question:

 Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or alot of tiny packages?

So giftwrapping: I don't care how you do it. :D You can wrap stuff in whatever way works best for you.

Also, I took my picture, so gonna send that to Tiki ASAP! I still need to finish my handmade stuff, but those are at least started... all of the rest of my loot has arrived and is sitting on my dining room table. :)

Im thinking they are going to re-release this plush. Have ya'll know a GOOD price for this pluah second-hand is $300....but they go way up to $500. Someone on pkmncollectors recently bought one just over $400 off ebay and photographed it. Im in awe because......IF they rerelease this baby, I WANNA PREORDER!!!! If anyone here spots news of this plush going to be resold PLEASE tell me because it might be retail only $50 or so.... the most I would do is $100.

They're the size of Pokemon cards, so they can easily fit into card sleeves.  I make it a point to buy several of these each year because look at how cute they are!

These are by Clinkorz.  This is her website (http://clinkorz.com/) and this is her DA (http://clinkorz.deviantart.com/)  She's super sweet and so nice!  Plus her prices are pretty great for what you're getting.  I was talking with her for a bit at her booth while looking through her prints and told her about the swap, she said that she hopes my partner likes what I got them!

I have to restrict myself from buying too many prints when I'm at cons because I always want to frame them, then I don't have enough frames... but I always end up buying a bunch of art anyway. :) I've met some of my favorite DA artists at cons and they're usually really sweet (except for this one guy that everyone was mad at -- I don't remember his DA username, though).

I love mint chocolate, coffee chocolate, and Twix, and Kitkats, so...biscuit-y chocolate? :lol: as for sweets, I like gummies like Haribo and Percy Pigs, and hard-boiled sweets like mint humbugs, rhubarb and custard, etc. My favourite flavours are orange, raspberry, and watermelon ^^

I bought some art prints today at the convention.  These are all mine, but my partner has a few too (not pictured because I don't want to spoil anything).

They're the size of Pokemon cards, so they can easily fit into card sleeves.  I make it a point to buy several of these each year because look at how cute they are!

These are by Clinkorz.  This is her website (http://clinkorz.com/) and this is her DA (http://clinkorz.deviantart.com/)  She's super sweet and so nice!  Plus her prices are pretty great for what you're getting.  I was talking with her for a bit at her booth while looking through her prints and told her about the swap, she said that she hopes my partner likes what I got them!

I collect ATCs, I actually make a LOT of them for swapbot and on the trading post of ponies! I would be all over these

I'll be sending my check in probably later tonight or tomorrow. We've had company in this week so I've not had the chance to be on the computer much.


Some of your items are large and some are small, Some can fit inside others; my question is I want to start wrapping, would you rater your gifts be wrapped in a few packages or alot of tiny packages?
I don't mind either way

How do you feel about digital art?
If it is art, I love it! :D

I also have a question partner what sweets/ chocolate do you like I mean like what would you go out and buy? Eg Mars bar etc
I have a weakness for anything that combines peanut butter and chocolate, and also orange chocolate (like that flavor of those whack-a-chocolate-orange balls that show up around the holidays. Drool.....)

QUESTION! Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )

So today was the last day of the convention and I'm proud to say that the only Pokemon things I bought myself were the art prints from Clinkorz.  I got a few things for my partner, so all that's left are extras and some snacks which I'll pick up this week.

I'll get my check-in picture in tonight or tomorrow morning!

I also have a question partner what sweets/ chocolate do you like I mean like what would you go out and buy?
I love any combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and/or caramel.  I also like things that are gummy, sour, sweet, but nothing like... too sweet and sugary, if that makes any sense. 

Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )?
Ooooh, those both sound interesting and I want to know more! :lol: Sure to either, then!

I draw on them or put tons of stickers/deco tape on them all the time  ^.^ All I ever get is odd looks from the PO.

I also have a question partner what sweets/ chocolate do you like I mean like what would you go out and buy?
Swedish fish, mint chocolate, cadbury eggs  ;) or cadburry nut and fruit bars, peach rings, gummy anything, jolly rancher chewie candies, twizlers, cookies, Pocky like stuff , especially CHOCOSHROOMS and those panda bear cookies with the fillings.
anything from here is a win:

Candy: I don't eat any kind of hard or gummy candy, really. I do like caramel, though. And if there's any chance my partner is from Europe, I looooove European chocolate! I like Cadbury anything... And when I go to the store to buy myself candy (which I shouldn't do so often) I usually get Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Way, Rollos, things like that.

Headwear question: Um, they both sound cool in a very vague way? :D I like silver things and I like black things.

In regard to teaser pics, I got everything wrapped yesterday and packed into the box (there is a fragile item) so lots of bubble wrap and peanuts and tetris placement so my teaser pic wont be pretty or fancy. D: Also, I think I forgot to take pictures of everything close up so partner when you get your box will you take some good pictures for me?

When it comes to candy I love trying new things, especially if it's something I can't get here. Through some other swaps I discovered that I love Crunchies and Violet Crumbles! My favorite candy that I can get here is peanut butter M&Ms, I'm like addicted to those things!
Likes: chocolate, peanut butter, honeycomb, marshmallow, mint, gummies, sour candy, green apple, raspberry
Dislikes: coconut, grape, lemon, cinnamon, pecans, nuts

QUESTION! Partner, would you prefer a 'black crystal crescent moon' or a 'small silver anime-ish crown' if it was something wearable (specific, I know XD )
Hmm, very intriguing question. They both sound awesome, hard to choose without knowing anything else. I guess if I absolutely have to choose, I would say a 'black crystal crescent moon'. But honestly, I do think they both sound awesome.

As for check-In's - I expected to see several of the same items but I don;t think I have seen any duplicates of anything. So much variety.  :thumb: :iconclap:

My problem is lots of walking around and just feeling sore and tired.  The con I went to is a pretty big one, but it was held in a very roomy convention center.  But that also means trekking up and down stairs when the elevators are too full and the escalators weren't running sometimes.

I decond the convention hangovers! In a few months im about to be gone for 4 days nonstop at a hotel for A-kon @_@ im USUALLY up average 37 hours befpre sleeping becausr there is SO much stuff to do and all my friends are there and we stay up and act all stupid at night playing in the asai-styled gardens LOL. Alllll that walking in geta. Ack.


So this is kind of relevent to the swap (it may or may not help with last minute swap ideas) but if you could be born/raised/or moved to in ONE city in a certain region in the Pokemon world, where would your dream home be? Its SO fun to dream!

Ecruteak. This place defines Johto to me! I wish I could live in one of those japanese style houses there with my eevees and reptile pokemons and I would probably wear only yukata. I would just LOVE to meet the kimono girls! I also think that the bell and tin tower would be AMAZING to go visit IRL. I love re-watching the johto episodes when they are in this city. It feels so traditional. I love all the japanese themes in johto.

So this is kind of relevent to the swap (it may or may not help with last minute swap ideas) but if you could be born/raised/or moved to in ONE city in a certain region in the Pokemon world, where would your dream home be? Its SO fun to dream!

Saffron City (Japanese: ヤマブキシティ Yamabuki City) is a sprawling metropolis in the Kanto region. It lies in between Celadon City, Vermilion City, Lavender Town, and Cerulean City. It is home to Sabrina, the city's Gym Leader.
It is modeled after Japan's capital city of Tokyo and is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the Pokémon world and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large Silph Co. headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two Gyms dominate the north-eastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure, including the Magnet Train station, which allows ease of access between Kanto and Johto.

or

Snowpoint City (Japanese: キッサキシティ Kissaki City) is a snow-covered city located at the far north of Sinnoh, where snow blows down from the top of Mt. Coronet causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it (Route 216, Route 217 and Acuity Lakefront) are also completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, Lake Acuity can be found. A cave, which houses Uxie, is located in the middle of Lake Acuity. Given the snow which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to Route 216 from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through Mt. Coronet, the most convenient way to get to the city is to Fly. There is a port here in which the player can access the Fight Area, but only after entering the Hall of Fame. Its temple is home to the legendary Pokémon Regigigas. There is also a Move Tutor in Snowpoint in Pokémon Platinum.

Awww, so cute!

And con hangovers, ugh! I always ask for the day after a con off work because I know I'm going to have a con hangover. But the last one I had ended up actually being the enterovirus which almost put me in the hospital and kept me out of work for a week and a half! Cons can be some of the worst places for catching germs. :( Thankfully I had purchased the entire 60s Batman series on DVD at the con so I ended up watching that while I was sick in bed all week.

Gotta get to wrapping my stuff so I can take some pictures. :D I don't have any pokemon stickers, so I hope my partner doesn't mind pony stickers. ;P

Just once I would like to find nice wrapping paper. <---I rant about this for every swap.

I would say Agate Village (from the Gale of Darkness gamecube game, and Coliseum). It was such a peaceful area in the game, and I loved the scenery and music! I would like the relative quite, few people, and being able to help out the elderly trainers that retire there :D

When I first read this question I immediately thought of Celestic Town, in Sinnoh -- the archaeology-centric town. But then when I was looking at the wiki I realized I would be much more interested in living in Pastoria City -- it's near the Safari Zone, which is the closest thing to a regional or national park that exists in the Pokemon world. :D Also, it's in a wetlands, and I actually love swamps. I also don't really like people, and most people don't like swamps, so it's perfect for me. :D

For some reason the towns in Sinnoh tend to stand out for me more than towns in any other region. I mean, I'm still playing Y and I don't think I can remember the names of any of those towns.

But then there's always Lavender town. I might not mind living there. I like creepy places. ;D

I will probably ship closer to the actual date, partner, as I'm a) still waiting for a few items to show up in the mailbox (any day now.... annnnyyyy day >.> ) and b) I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish a hand made item that i wanted to do.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on April 23, 2015, 06:10:39 AM
I ordered my partner's extras this morning since I found a seller on eBay who had an item I want, along with a few other items I think my partner may enjoy.  Hopefully it'll just be a few days before they come in the mail!

Still working on the handmade item and I hope to have it done this weekend.

So this is kind of relevent to the swap (it may or may not help with last minute swap ideas) but if you could be born/raised/or moved to in ONE city in a certain region in the Pokemon world, where would your dream home be? Its SO fun to dream!

Probably Camphrier Town in Kalos Region. Cute little castle village.

Glaceon or Leafeon?

Glaceon!

I doubt I will be able to ship until the very last minute! I've got all my purchased items, but I still have to get candy and finish up my handmade item. This thing took MUCH longer than anticipated partner, I was going to make you 3 or 4 handmade items and I am still working on the first! :( I am not very happy with myself about that....

But in my defense I am also working on Little Tribbles birthday stuff and it's not coming along as quick as I'd hoped either. Last day I am going to be up 24 hours trying to get it finished for his birthday!!! ACK!!! I always overbook myself

Um...er... so evil! Leafeon I suppose, if I had to pick one. I love them both, but Leafeon looks a little more unique to me. I also mix up Glaceon and Vaporeon at a glace lol

This is a tough one.  I LOVE the Johto region, so I almost feel inclined to pick a place there, but I'm going with Unova because reasons.  As for which city/town, I choose Nimbasa City.  It seems like such a fun place, and I absolutely love Elesa, the gym leader there. ^.^ Plus, assuming the people in each city and town can hear the music that plays in the game (hahaha), I think I'd never get tired of the Nimbasa City music.

Glaceon or Leafeon?
Um... I dunno?  Neither is really a favorite of mine when it comes to Eeveelutions, so... I guess if I had to choose it'd be Leafeon?

My teaster is not very impressive!  Since I had a fragile item I had to wrap and wrap, and peanut ect so its not fancy at all.

Plus the pokeball I tried drawing would draw on the packing tape so it looks funny too.
Trust me though the contents will make my partner soooo happy.

As a fair warning partner, I might add some little goodies as I find them and just slip them in the box into the tiny gaps. They wont be wrapped I hope thats ok!

Ahhh, you got such cool stuff! I've never seen those panda cookies before -- I usually get "Hello Panda" cookies at conventions (though they've been showing up at Target, too, lately).

And again, I gotta get to wrapping! I hope all of that will get done tomorrow (right now I have a friend over playing Animal Crossing on my Wii).
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: Princess Lala on April 25, 2015, 07:49:37 PM
^ thanks!!! Those panda cookies taste identical to chocolate chip cookies! Nice and crunchies! :D those fruit chews (in the backpack shape bag) are my absolute FAVORITE! I tried them last thirsday for the first time and they are my new crack! xD they are milk and pinapple fruit chews with tiny assorted gummie fruit candies (like if Dots) and theres also sugary candy bits, (similar to lik-a-stik). If i get my first cavity, it will be from those! @_@

So everythings wrapped, time to take a box from work and decorate! :)

I'm trying to upload my teaser pictures, but I took them on Instagram and suddenly IG seems to have almost completely stopped working. Any chance anyone else is having that problem?

EDIT: I guess I can always give the link, but that's no fun. I'll try to post them later.  :huh:

Ha ha I had this same thing happen, I just found an expensive yet perfect item after getting wrapped that I so badly want to send my partner!
But alas it was all of the budget and the items I am sending my partner were specifically for them too so it was hard but I tol myself no. If it had been cheaper I probably would have gotten it though!

One of the things I found isn't that expensive, but it would put me waaaay over budget... but it's also from the 90s, so I'm torn! I might end up getting it for myself instead, though I really can't afford that. :X

I did have to mess around with the lighting in the picture a bit because some colors of the gifts were showing through the wrapping (and if you know the color, you can start making guesses!). :) But this isn't everything, since I did end up ordering some extra stuff the other day after all... I think I'll have time to get it out with no problems, though. :D

Edit: Oh, and yes, the flash totally highlighted my really dirty computer screen in the background. Oops! Since I didn't have any pokemon stickers, I had to use a variety of other things. I used lots of Disney, MLP, Lisa Frank, Hello Kitty, and various other stickers.  :cool:

Sorry I've been missing guys, I've been soooo busy. I might make some last minute stuff tonight but then I'm shipping it (and like 4 other packages) tomorrow.

Chicago usps changed their systems so now for packages they put stickers all over them... So I'm hoping none of the art on the box gets covered up but we'll see :(

So I've been in email communication with an Amazon seller about something for my partner that got lost in the mail. :( They're sending me a replacement, but I'm sure it won't get here in time.

Since I won't be including it in my package (I'll just keep it for myself instead) I'll go ahead and say, oh well, not a big loss since it was just a pokemon card. ;) And it's one I don't already have, so I don't mind keeping it, of course! It was just a card of one of my partner's favorite Pokemon, but at least it was only about 50 cents and I have waaaay enough stuff in my swap box anyway. :D
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!

I think we should have one thread where we post all of our brags together (either in this thread or in a new one -- this one may run out of space too soon!), but I think we should also be able to brag on the brag forum separately, maybe? Like, I have a bunch of pony mail coming in soon, and I'd probably combine all of my brags to make it look impressive (usually I have to combine brags because I always forget to brag... or, no wait, I'm too modest. Yeah, that's it). :D

OPEN IT!!!! I need to know that the fragile item made it safe and sound, I've been sweating bullets over it!

That being said, are we going to all post our brags here or will we be starting a new thread and linking it here, or will we each post a seperate brag page?! I need to know what to stalk!

Okay I will open it to ease your fears... I keep eyeballing this awesome box of goodies. It will be Friday as I won't have time between work hours. 

Partner I get paid the 15th so I will ship it out then I am sorry that I will probably be the last one to ship out....
*paces* FRIDAY! Oh its gonna feel like forever! :p

After seeing other people's teaser pics, I feel like I need to take some new pictures with Pokemon plushies in the background. ;) I'm actually surprised that my cat didn't insert herself into the picture I did post -- she loves to photobomb!

I didn't really get too much OT. I gave alot of shifts away  :lookround: Howeve the oppertitunity is there if you want to. There was one dude from mexico and one from brazil - they made over $1000 for christmas week and considering we got paid minimum wage- thats alot of working hours! I'll be working for Disney again in China but having free access to parks is kinda useless there. The Shanghai park wont open till 2016 and the Hong Kong one - It will be very close but not sure what the requirements are for leaving and reentering mainland china..and No Epcot but Japan is a hell of a lot closer!

Wow, thats a whole lot of hours!!!! Maaan if only i lived in Florida again! $1000 is a LOT for a week I wouldnt mind! xD!!!! So are you moving to China, tiki? If you are hahah forget Epcot since Japan is next door! Im seriously considering visiting japan in the next 5 years or so, husband should be out of college l i hope by then.

UrocyonFox ! Oh my goodness! First off I adore everything! Everything got here safe and sound.  I can't believe all of the wonderful awesome arts and crafts you made for me! I will treasure them forever.  Your box was the single most meaningful box I have ever received in a swap!  I can't sing your praises high enough and I am completely unable to tell you which item was my favorite.  I will try to get the brag thread up tonight...  I think I'm going to use the furfrou journal for a small Pokemon scrapbook! Thank you so much again!  Lovely....

yaaaaaaa!!!! I was so nervous about that (insert a possibly not so friendly adjective here) Mug! All I could see was it chipping or getting messed up. I was so worried because I put alot more into it than I feel like a mug should have in it! I tried a ton of different types of sharpies and different baking temperatures and DIY tutorials on pinterest until I finally got the one that worked and didn't wash off with a scrub cleaning so I was gonna be upset if it broke on its way to you!

:O If I knew you would use the furfrou journal as a scrapbook I would have drawn you some fun sketches in it!

I could easily work 12+... If I was working for Disney, at least. I walk around the park all day without rest, I could certainly work at the same time! If only there was a Disney Store nearby or a Disney park (that wasn't just hiring dancers - Curse my disability).

I'm really excited about these teasers! Can't wait to see more :D

He should last pretty well, Like I said I tried all these different types of sharpies (note the oil base sharpies work the best, regular sharpie scrapes off after using a scrub brush) but I baked it at 400 degrees for fifteen minutes and I did a couple test washes and he seemed to be safe and sound. But its your mug dear! do as you like! :3

Funny enough other colors change and look weird once you bake them too. I actually have the rough first joltik mug I made in my craft room now because I wasn't happy with how it turned out. :p

Love that wrapping paper!

And... I think my last package should have arrived by now... I'm getting a little worried, because the seller didn't give me a tracking number. Gonna have to nudge her and ask what's up, I guess!

In other news, I'm heading out of town for the weekend, so if I can't ship tomorrow I'll have to wait until Tuesday (Monday is my mom's birthday, so I'll be up at her house for that).

Everyone check your mail today! Someone should be getting a package this morning! If its not here today, the severe storms in the plains might have caused a delivery delay.

Moonbeam, what if that was your box with the mareep!? xD

I didnt have to really do the tetris thing but i did have to wedge one big gift sideways like a hill with newspaper and stack the smaller gifts at the base and work its way up and stuffed the free air with more newspaper LOL.

If my last package hasn't arrived by tomorrow, I'll be shipping my partner's package and putting in a dispute with paypal. :( Hopefully it will be there! But it's okay -- these last items were over the budget anyway, so there's tons of fun stuff already ready to go for my partner! :D I also just need to choose which stationery to use to write my partner a letter to stick in the package. ;)

Mine left the box on the doorstep  :mad: So that'll be the seventh complaint in the last few months I've submitted to Royal Mail about having mail left outside. When I had a parcel arrive last week they took it back to the depot like they're supposed to!
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: tikibirds on May 13, 2015, 12:48:22 PM
My packages get left outside as well, on the porch. They only take it back to the PO if it requires a signature and no one is there to sign for it. Since I live in a small town in Northeastern NY, I guess it's ok.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: cyberunicorn on May 13, 2015, 12:50:42 PM
My post man usually puts an parcels I get in the wheely bin which is fine by me they keep safe and dry. Though sometimes if it is empty not fun getting it out right at the bottom I nearly fall in everytime. Though I guess it is more funny for spectators

Our doorstep is visible from the street, and really isn't sheltered from the rain. And as for the area...weeeell, a store in the next street was the target or an armed robbery last year, so it's really not a safe area to be leaving large boxes on the doorstep. I've had unregistered parcels taken back to the depot, and all their responses to me have never indicated that this is a normal or acceptable procedure  :huh: We've had a bunch of new posties that I only tend to see once or twice, so my guess is they're using temps or something now that don't really care.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: Sora on May 13, 2015, 01:37:02 PM
We've made numerous complaints about our post to Royal Mail. Dumping them on the porch, not bothering to knock and just leaving the 'attempted delivery' note and even flat out stealing (caught in the act). They're useless.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: tikibirds on May 13, 2015, 03:18:08 PM
Gah, they do that here in the winter time. They just drive on by without even attempting to deliver the mail.
Title: Re: Pokemon Swap - Ship when ready!
Post by: Princess Lala on May 13, 2015, 03:45:52 PM
I hate when the mail people drop a package off at my door step- especially when its raining and I am supposed to SIGN for the package! :cry: They did that with my Plumsweet, LE Disney Store doll, and NMM WLF figurine! Stoopid mailfolk.


Gah. I keep trying to check the mail today to see if i got anything, but they closed the office where my apt mailbox is because of rain and flooding....again! Lazies! I still went to work and drove in that, why cant they!?  :sleepy:

Post by: ringwraith10 on May 13, 2015, 04:29:58 PM
A friend of mine had a VIOLIN delivered to her APARTMENT once while we were out of town for the weekend. She had even let the post office know that she would be out of town and she was expecting a very valuable package. But what did they do? They left it on the doorstep in the pouring rain! Thankfully, through some kind of magic, the violin was apparently not damaged.

But speaking of mail issues... I never got that last package of goodies for my partner. :( So I have started the complaint process with paypal and I'm going to just go ahead and send my package either tomorrow or on Friday.

Ugh, I know. Today's the last chance for redemption. If it hasn't appeared in my mailbox tonight, that's it -- I've gotta ship my box tomorrow. Oh well. :( I already sent the seller a message through Paypal and haven't received a response, so I hope something bad hasn't happened to her, but also it's not very nice if she scammed me.

Lol, I know the feeling! I got a box a few days ago and thought that either it was my order for the last items for my partner or that it was my swap box. It wasn't either! It was some ponies I had forgotten I had purchased from an arena member (I guess I forgot because I was so wrapped up in this swap!). :D

Lol, noooo, I'm not that talented! That is my official 'I have a lot of this paper that I need to use up' swap paper XD It makes it easy to spot so it doesn't get used up at holidays or birthdays lol.

Also, Tiki I shipped out yesterday. I'll send tracking info to you tomorrow afternoon, since I have to get to bed for work tomorrow morning lol.

And I too am going to miss this swap! I've never seen a swap thread get this big before! We've all had a lot of great conversations :D

:awake: :newpony: :frolic: :frolic: :frolic: :frolic: :dance: :dance: my swap box has arrived today, not opened it yet I need food then I can appreciate everything properly. But I have had a nosey at the return address on the side of the box and my suspicions were confirmed as to the identity of my partner. So I know that it will be an amazing box. Very excited...  Well off for quick tea and then get started on the best part of the week  :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :dance: :dance: :water: :sunny: :pizza: :chat: :flash: : :frolic: :frolic: :frolic: :frolic: :straw: :banana: :apple: :pineapple: :orange: :choc: :lmao: :carrot: :cheese: :taco: :icecream: :party: :hearts:

And look who just posted as I type this

 :biggrin: I was tempted not to put a return address as I knew it would give it away  :blush: I really hope you like everything~

Aw, I'm feeling really impatient for my box now! I'm actually expecting another package and that hasn't arrived either. Unlike the swap box though, I know my other package should have arrived by now. I just hope the postman isn't going to delay delivery like he does quite often just to deliver more than one -_-

Partner, your package is finally ready to ship. So sorry for the delay, I was putting the finishing touches on the custom items I made for you.

Anyway, please open the pokeball tin last. And unwrap the items inside carefully.

I was hoping to ship today, but I can't seem to find your address anywhere. As soon as tiki gets back to me with it, I will ship your swap box.

The USPS says my partner's package was delivered! Can't wait to see the brag pics! Partner -- be careful with the one wrapped in bubble wrap. I'm a bit worried about whether that one arrived intact!

Yep! I think the brag thread is linked in the first post. :D OPEN IT! GIVE PICTURES! ;)

Anyway, please open the pokeball tin last. And unwrap the items inside carefully.

I was hoping to ship today, but I can't seem to find your address anywhere. As soon as tiki gets back to me with it, I will ship your swap box.

To be honest, I found the one I bought completely accidentally. I was looking for How to Train Your Dragon stuff at the store Party City and instead found Pokemon stuff! They didn't have anything else I wanted for the swap, but I couldn't leave the tin behind. It was too perfect and had to be used as a gift box :D

Your tracking number did not lie, and I absolutely LOVE my box! I was able to pick it up yesterday, but just now got to sit down and open it. I feel so spoiled! Everything in the box is amazing, and the contents of that tin?  :drunk: Holy. Cow. Like, seriously, holy freaking cow. They are beautiful, and they arrived in perfect condition. :newpony: I'll post a brag just as soon as I can! And since I don't think I've said it yet in all of my excited flailing, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  :cheer: :hug: And sorry for worrying you!

8D Start planning for next time?

Yeeessssss!!!!!! I hope there is a next time!!! This is now officially my favorite swap EVER!!!

Oooooo so i admit I have been a little antsy to check the mail for tomorrow!! Darn Memorial Day!!! Post office and apt office is closed today! This gives me time to mentally prepare for whatever is in the mail! I always love getting mail but if its pony or poke mail eeeeeeep I cant help but get super duper excited! Ooo and I stil dont know whomy secret swapper is!!! Im trying not to memorize who sent what on the brag thread because surprises are fun!
:frolic:

Same time again next year maybe? :lol:

I would be up for that XD It's crazy to look at how big this swap got. Look at our page count! I don't think I've seen a swap get so big before :D

Dear partner .. I'm so sorry but I shipped this weekend :( I payed for slightly faster shipping than normal because I feel absolutely terrible. Work has swamped me more than I could even imagine but I don't want you to think your box isn't coming ! It is! And I hope what's inside makes up for the long wait :( <3

No matter who its from or how far or close its from Im 100% sure since its pokemon I will LOVE it and I know it will be worth the wait!

Did you ever figure out what the package was that was waiting for you over the weekend? I assume it wasn't your swap box, but you were so anxious about it! :D

I would think that having packages coming in at the same time as a swap box would make it more fun because then you really don't know what your getting. Is it the swap box, something you ordered? You never know until you tear in to the box! (Or unless you read the return label, but who has time for that ;) lol )

I had a few other packages coming in around the same time as my swap box. I had totally forgotten about them (even though some were ponies!) because I was so excited about the swap!

No cheating tiki! xD I wonder how close it is though!!!! When my mailbox starts to shake that means Ive got some good stuff coming!

Im surpised how much can fit in my mailbox though LoL one time I had a sinus infection and stayed home on antibiotics so i didnt check the mail for a week, when I did I had like 7 smallish packages and juckmail crammed in there! xD Also my first teaser pic of Daintys goodies in the packages, those were all inside the mailbox together lol!

Hehe, we're all anime characters who are jumping inhumanly high to catch the box and throw it to the next person. And, of course, we all have huge smiles on our faces while doing this.
