I immediately thought that texture looks way too good to be english and it took me a minute to see it was in fact not english.

Bought a bunch of Ex Era reverse holos! Plus a Zubat reverse. Also, a reverse holo of a Ekans that I find mesmerizing.
Thanks @wisewailmer!

Taking advantage of the 15% off trading cards Mercari JP (through Buyee) coupons, and was lucky enough to snag another unlabeled unlimited xy8 card- just the empoleon left to go now! Super excited to get this one in.
I don’t do Buyee orders often, but I love browsing through everything once in a blue moon when good coupon deals come in.

NIce! I find both the expedition ekans and arbork mesmerizing as well. That’s coming from a guy with a legit snake phobia irl haha

the guides were really cool specially for someone like me who grew up without any. the japanese got a lot more variety of guides and a lot cooler and more vintage art as well.

the last page says
“Has mew become a legend?”
“mew is the 151st pokemon and is said to only exist as data in the software. as a pokemon trainer you want to get your hands on it no matter what. however there are very few ways to do so. in the past there have been events in magazines where mew was given away as gift but this is the only way to get mew.
the only way to get mew in the future is to read the magazine carefully and participate in events to get mew” - magazine prob corocoro
they talk about the process where mew entered the game “however this was a bug tech that could be used in the first batch of softwares shipped at the time pf pokemon release. and could be done by entering complex commands that moreover it could fail and destroy the data of the 150 other pokemon.”

Finally made a deal on this beautiful metang. Will post nicer photos in my collection thread once he’s here and in hand but this is coming from the same seller as my Gyarados and will take a couple weeks im sure.

Just got a Buyee package in recently and picked up this random Pokemon puzzle game guide. Seemed relevant to share with the recent Pokemon guides being posted 
I’ve never played the game, but I really liked the associated art. I think it’s Sumiyoshi Kizuki’s work, but I couldn’t find an artist credit. This guide also came with an awesome sticker sheet.

Super cool. Looks like a Pokemon ‘bejeweled’ game. First time seeing it as well. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
