A Scatterbug. For Wonder Trade and all (since even the UK exclusive seems to be popular right now).

Hey, guys, I have a couple of extra shiny gengar codes for pokemon X and Y!  PM me if you want one!  First come first served, of course.

The guy at Gamestop gave me some extras to give to friends since the promotion is ending really soon.

Is anybody else playing Pokemon Art Academy?

[True]

the last one i caught? o.o its been so long I have no idea xD I think maybe it was a Swirlix for my son, who iv handed my pokemon Y game over to lol. OH NO! it was a litleo! xD I caught and hatched a TON of them trying to get a boy (also for my son)

I havent played with the art academy, but it looks neat.

I have one maybe?
What was the first shiny you caught or hatched on your own? (not including trading or events :p)

For me, at least in X I hatched a Cherubi. and all I was doing was working on my national dex, so only ever had one egg from them  and it just happened to be a shiny. :p I gave it to my friend, since I dont really collect shinys.
I would say Gyarados from heart gold, but everyone gets him regardless xD.

Pokemon Art Academy seems like fun.  I was thinking of getting it.

I want it for the expanded painting capabilities (Colors! 3D is really limited) but it's too much for my wallet and not my top priority right now. Maybe when I got the funds and the time. I got like three games to clear on my table.

I'm pretty sure my first was Bulbasaur on Red.  The gameboy and the game belonged to my younger sister but I stole it as often as possible to play Pokemon haha.

Some people (myself included) have had luck with forgotten book titles here. I've been struggling with this one for a while, it's a book I'd love to read again, but sadly only remember weird details about it and not anything useful.

What tidbits I know about the book:

-It's an unofficial Pokémon humor book.
-It was written during the height of the Pokémon craze in the late 90s, around 1998-2001 or so. I don't quite remember if Gen 2 was even out at the time.
-Chapter book, no pictures as far as I can remember. No idea of the reading level, but I would have been around the 4th grade when I read it, so it couldn't have been that hard, (but it still kind of felt like a "grown up" book as it lacked illustrations and was kind of like a Dave Barry book.)
-It went into basic details about the games, cartoon, card game and toys, informative, but leaning more towards humorous.
-Unfortunately, I think the title was pretty generic, like "Unofficial Pokémon [something something]"

Outside: Orange cover, title was in a blue or green text, yellow highlighting(?) Mine was paperback, about the size and shape of kids' chapter book or a harlequin romance. 

Inside:

Introduction detailing how the author was in the middle of watching Pinky and the Brain when his publisher called and insisted he write his next book about Pokémon. (This makes me think he had previously written books about video games or at least something for the kids' demographic.)

A bit where he discussed how unfair it is to trade cards with younger children who are gullible, that one could probably trade them a Voltorb card signed by the real Voltorb in yellow crayon.

One of those "How to tell you are way too into Pokémon" lists, one of the items is "you traded your brother's sports car for a holographic Charizard card."


I know it might be a bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know anything about this book?? My Google searches have been fruitless. Not even the comprehensive list of Pokémon books on Bulbapedia included this book. If you read this, thanks for taking the time.

Best of luck!

I've decided to sell off some of my childhood collection of Pokemon figures and I was hoping maybe you guys are more in-the-know about them than I am as far as prices.

Pictures:

Kanto Pokemon
Pikachu
Johto Pokemon
Hoenn Pokemon
Trainers

I also have some bigger "action figure" type Pokemon, made by (I think?) Hasbro:

Action Figures

And some figures that I suspect are knock-offs.

Knock-offs?

And though I haven't gotten pictures yet, I have some similarly-sized non-TOMY figures that (as far as I know) are officially licenced merch; I remember some coming with Pokemon PopTarts or cereal, and others were attached to keychains inside a PokeBall. Would there be enough interest in them to bother with pictures?

I remember having these and HATING them. "THATS NOT EVEN A CHARIZARD MOM"

I'm pretty sure it is what NoPonySpecial is talking about.
