I never really got into Pokemon growing up, but happy 30th anniversary to those celebrating!

"At such a milestone, with an IP that has spanned at least ten different consoles and over 1300 episodes of primetime anime, it only makes sense to look back with fondness at the humble, sometimes bizarre, and other times gorgeous, beginnings of one of the most treasured video game series’ of all time.

For what it’s worth, I’m always going to love these weird little monsters."

This year, Pikachu turns 30. Zelda and Link hit 40, and Donkey Kong celebrates his 45th.

Hmm, I had no idea (until recently) how popular Pokemon cards are for crime...

NHK:Tokyo police arrest 2 Vietnamese for suspected illegal purchase of Pokemon cards

"...They say the two men accessed the official sales website for Pokemon goods from June to September 2025 and created 30 fictitious accounts using fraudulently obtained SIM cards....Police searched related facilities and seized more than 15,000 Pokemon cards...."

Gotta catch them all.

I finally got them all. It takes a bit to restore them, like getting replacement stickers and replacing the battery.

Since my daughter gets slowly indoctrinated in the Kindergarten with Pokémon, I could see myself playing with her with the original and trading with her some Pokémon.
