This really takes me back to my childhood I remember playing this mini game so much! I gambled my way to the max (777 watts) many times All of these Watts were then sent to Pokémon Crystal via the Infrared ports on top of the Pocket Pikachu Color and Game Boy Color for in-game items #PocketPikachu

Since buying the Pokémon comic the other day I thought I'd share another picture of them all together. I bought four of them in 2001! I am seriously considering buying the remaining issues and completing them as they seem like really fun stories and I haven't given them the attention they deserve.

It's early days with the Pocket Pikachu Color, but hopefully I can improve upon my friendship with Pikachu ❤️

For anyone interested, there's a social presence for Pokémon on Mastodon too! @bulbagarden.net mastodon.social/@bulbagarden @serebii.bsky.social mastodon.social/@serebiinet We are also there! donphan.social/@johto

Been a while since I ventured out to buy anything Pokémon related, but I saw this and thought I'd pick it up! The fourth volume of Pikachu Shocks Back (Viz Comics) by Toshihiro Ono I have a few of these from childhood but this is the first I've bought in years. Five pounds seemed reasonable!

Do we have any followers who have some fun stories from growing up with Pokémon in the late 90s? I'd love to hear about them!

A good first day with the Pocket Pikachu Color, Pikachu has sat down to some food for the evening!

I have now walked one million steps with my #PocketPikachu! I began this challenge on April 27th, and completed it today on September 17th, 2025. It took a total of 3475 hours! Pikachu has now left me to go off on his own adventure, but I am thankful for his company these past few months!

For those who have been following my #PocketPikachu journey to one million steps, I am happy to confirm that I am very nearly there! #PocketPikachuClub

@kellyknowles.art Hi Kelly! What would be the best way to contact you in relation to some Pokémon research I am doing? Thank you! :)

Good evening! I had an urge to photograph the Pokémon Poké Ball Marble Shooter in the dark, to show how it lights up. Honestly, this was such a cool toy! I wish I had one growing up...

I'm actually a little annoyed about Pokémon Pokopia's announcement. On and off for about two years i've been writing a concept for a game where you turn into a Ditto, and take on forms of Pokémon to help you traverse through different areas.😅 I probably wasn't ever going to publish it though

Our friends @johtotimes.bsky.social are conducting a poll to find the fan-favorite Pokémon. Head over to their site and vote now!

Tearing myself away from Silksong to get this weeks issue together! Sacrifices must be made...

A new issue of Johto Times is now available! Vol. 3, Issue 36: An interview with Pokémon TCG fansite PokeGuardian, which opened in June 2019 to provide the latest Pokémon TCG news and content. johtotimes.com/issues/2025-... ...or you could just play Silksong instead, whatever

I will be away from home on Thursday, so the latest issue of Johto Times may be delayed slightly, apologies! Hopefully I can get to it, but if not I hope you'll understand!

I bought all these Pokémon Nanoblock figures recently and I need to spend time just breaking them apart and reassembling them again They also have a lot of dust in them from the previous owner, so I'll give them a good clean first! I have a couple more of my own that I bought new too Stream soon?

I picked up one of these from an Asian supermarket yesterday. I haven't eaten it yet but I'm weak. I see Pokémon, I buy (within reason)

Hope you all had a great Saturday! This is me:

Vol. 3, issue 35 went up yesterday! This week, we did an interview with a classic Pokémon fansite called Mount Moon, which began in 1998, and even relaunched in 2020! Plus, a recap of the latest Pokémon news! johtotimes.com/issues/2025-...

Anyone out there have any cool Pokémon related Halloween stories from growing up to share? Did you dress up as a Pokémon to trick or treat? Parties? Here's a few cool features we published previously: johtotimes.com/posts/memory... johtotimes.com/posts/memory... johtotimes.com/posts/memory...

Amazingly it works! The amount of steps were in line with what I normally do. Pikachu has limped over the 900,000 step mark! I'm so proud of myself for getting this far. I'm going to aim higher. One million total steps by a week on Sunday! #PocketPikachuClub

I checked the device over this morning and it would seem the second hinge is beginning to crack. Very sad :( I guess after more than 25 years the plastic just can't cut it anymore? It's no longer safe to carry on my belt, but I am attempting a different method attached to some card inside my pocket

On August 1st, 2025, we opened our new website! I'm really proud of this, everyone involved did such a great job! I really hope you'll check it out and bookmark it for future reference: johtotimes.com

Thanks for the suggestions! Resin might be an option at some point, but for now I am trying tape. I will add some string and tie it to the belt too just as a precaution. I'll have to keep a close eye on it while walking around I'm so close to 900,000 steps and a couple of weeks away from a million.

Pocket Pikachu update! Err... Not a good one though! The hairline crack from a few months ago developed into a full break on the hinge. It's probably not safe to carry it around, despite being so close to my goal! Suggestions? I don't want to lose it before I reach a million! #PocketPikachuClub

Hoping to start streaming again next week, it's been a long time since I last did. I recently purchased a ton of pre-owned Nano Block figures (ten total) plus a couple from a store about a month or two ago. Those will be fun to assemble!

For those who are interested in my #PocketPikachu challenge, I am currently on 872,386 steps out of the one million I want to reach by September 21st! With less than a month left, I am feeling quite confident! #PocketPikachuClub
