Pokémon Horizons coming to iPlayer in December :toot:

Still nothing about the last parts of Ash’s journey coming to a streaming service though.

On the very slim off chance anyone wanted the overpriced Classic TCG set, its back in stock on the Pokemon Centre UK website, having a quick look on eBay, looks like quite a few sets are being opened, the bits they want taken out and then being sold on, not sure how useful any of it is though, as except for the energy cards, you can't use any of the other cards in a tournament.

Noticed it while I was picking up a Meganium sitting cutie, which I didn't know had come back in stock till now.

Does that mean you're nearly up to date with all the games then Qikz?

After loving the end to Ash's arc in the anime (anything from the Masters 8 to the end was more or less great) I've decided to give the new series a try, 3 episodes in I'm liking it quite a lot really, much more than I thought I would anyway. Definitely feels aimed at a slightly older audience than the previous series, definitely a nice little air of mystery surrounding it so far.

Sprigatito is great in it already too, bags of character from the off like Pikachu had in Ash's first few episodes.

Almost, I need to finish US, play Moon to get the rest of the Mon I'll be missing, play and finish ORAS, play and finish BW/BW2 and finish off getting the Gold/Silver dex in Crystal - once I've done those I'm up to date pretty much.

That’s still a lot to play through :lol: I’d definitely play loads more of the older games if they released them on the eshop (with Home support of course!), but they clearly don’t want my money.

Finished the first 6 episodes of Horizons now, it was always going to be odd without Ash but it’s been a very solid start so far (still expecting Ash to make a cameo at some point down the line, maybe not in the first few series though).

That's the Ultra Sun story done and also the RR chapter after which was absolutely amazing. I was not expecting that AT ALL!

Finished the Ultra Sun Pokedex the other day.

Moved back to Crystal and beat the Elite 4 for the first time. I had to spend a bunch of time levelling pokemon, but using CFW to install the copy of Gold I bought on my new 3DS onto my old one so I could trade myself a Cyndaquil came in clutch as Typhlosion was well worth levelling up lol.

The levelling is probably one of two poor aspects of gen 2 in my opinion, they’re still amazing games.

Something quite unnerving about that Dragonite handbag near the end :lol:

Were they Dragonite silk pyjamas too?

Could tell it wasn't going to be anywhere near normal prices, who in their right mind is going to pay those prices though :dread:

Gaming news outlets are picking up on Vermi's breaking news about Fendi x Pokémon fashion and accessories.

The bag shown above is around $4K. If your budget won't quite stretch to that, there are plenty of other items available including (also as shown above) a plain white t-shirt with a Pokémon on it for around £610.

That Classic TCG set is definitely dropping in price, down the the absolute bargain price of £320 on Amazon, no idea if its a limited run of them or not though, if I ever see one going for nearer £200 I'd be very tempted really, looks really neat.

They've also added another 10 episodes of Pokemon Horizons to iPlayer, love how cheesy Captain Pikachu is :lol:

Alpha Sapphire and the Delta episode complete.

Now to go around mopping up the leftover pokemon and start going through my Omega Ruby cart so I can end up getting Groudon to finish the dex (and the other exclusives)

The Delta Episode is brilliant, or I thought it was anyway.

I have the odd legendary spare kicking about, Qikz, if you need anything for a living dex. If you've got any spare ultra beasts, let me know - they're pretty much all I need now but I hit burnout on the raid mode thing in Shield's DLC. :lol:

I currently don't have any spare ultra beasts, but I need some of the mythicals if you have spare. I think I'm missing Hoopla. Diancia and Volcanion
