It's always a work in progress with these things. Just keep polishing and refining as best you can!
It remains one of, if not my absolute favourite Pokémon games. Anyone who has the chance to play this one is so blessed.
I was playing Pokémon Pokopia with a friend the other day, and I am 5km long now.

Not trying to be opportunistic here at all, however if Bluesky isn't working properly for the foreseeable future, and followers want to chat Pokémon, we have a forum!

Still enjoying Pokémon Pokopia? This whole area has changed dramatically since I last updated! I can't wait to show you what i've made sometime, maybe in a future stream?
Apologies for the quietness, currently having my bathroom replaced!

Bulbapedia has a new look!
We’ve created a new default theme featuring a responsive design that automatically adapts to desktop and mobile for a better, more consistent experience.
Seems there are some problems with Bluesky recently, hopefully they're resolved soon!

Unfortunately my local store didn't have any cards, but I was still able to obtain a couple of new ones from elsewhere! I also added my Rowlet from a McDonalds TCG set that released a while back!
Updated list:
Tomorrow, me and a friend are planning to go to a few local Pokémon TCG shops and find as many English language Rowlet cards as we possibly can! I call this OPERATION ROUND BIRD!
I put together a list. Am I missing anything?
Anything highlighted in green, I have already!
Happy Birthday PA! The site turns 27 years old this week. If you ever want to see it in all its original 1999 glory, I kept an archive up here: pa1.pokemonaaah.net ... Good times!
Good morning! I'm Johto Times
Nope, they weren't included to offer an authentic experience, spam bots are definitely a thing on our forum (unfortunately)

A Japanese Lugia trading card from the Neo Genesis set
I'm sorry to hear you were ill, but hopefully you pulled through it and were ok?
What a lovely story! I have always loved this card, it was my introduction to generation 2, and I love how it requires three different kinds of energy. My friend GAVE me this exact card a few years ago. I love it!
Regional Championship #PokemonGO winner got disqualified - but can you spot why? We're not sure ourselves...

Aww that's very kind of you, but most of these cards are worth pennies and won't be difficult to obtain. The postage costs alone will likely be more than what they're worth D:
Thank you though!

Bought another Pokémon terrarium yesterday, featuring sleeping Pikachu and Rowlet!
I kept looking at this one and wasn't sure whether to buy it or not, but I decided to treat myself 😅
Well when you do I'd love to see anything you've got to share! :)
Well that's quite an unusual error card to see! The one in my folder has a regular ol' Squirtle in the corner, and a second one is the same. I apparently have a third somewhere but I'm not sure where it went... Maybe I'll strike it lucky?
I'm very happy to hear your story, thanks for sharing!
Oh wonderful! This is a card from a set I do not have, but I am a big fan of Espeon! Thanks for sharing :)
A sealed Machamp card from base set
That's a great story and I'm happy the card has given you such a strong memory! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I'm not sure if you're aware, but base set Machamp has ALWAYS been a first edition card, and is the most common holo card from the set. I personally have a sealed one!
That's a great story! I can't say I see many stories about Xerneas cards and how they are a favourite, so it's good to see some love for it.
Great artwork too! I do not have one of my own, it wasn't a set I collected. I bought some Japanese boosters and opened them but I don't recall what I pulled.
Duskull holo card with ex Crystal Guardians stamp
Oh that's fantastic! I didn't think I had the card but I just checked my folder and... Is this the one?
I'm happy that you still have it, no matter its condition :)
Venusaur trading card from the base set
Hang on, you traded your base set Machamp card, for Venusaur? What a trade... Goodness!
I remember when I got my Venusaur, I bought it back in 2019 just before the prices became silly. I always wanted it! Such a great card :)
I love that your friend did that for you, what a kind thing! Was it also a first edition like your image? I sadly don't have a first edition Ekans, but I have a regular fossil version, one of many!
Thanks for sharing such a lovely heart warming story!
I regret to say that I don't have any Jumpluff cards in my collection at all! I'm not sure why, it's just a card that I don't seem to have chased too much. I hope I'll eventually pick one up.
Thank you for sharing your story!
The back of a Pokémon trading card, with the Pokémon logo and a Pokéball
Back in January 2025, I asked followers a question: Which one single Pokémon card means something to you?
So here I am again, asking for an answer to that same question! I'd love to hear what they are, and your reaosns!
If you took part last time, you're very welcome to do so again!
Grimer trading card from the team rocket expansion
I remember you mentioning this the first time around! He's such a great Pokémon I have a lot of respect and love for him and Muk!
Here's mine 😁 I hope to pick up the Japanese version of this card at some point, if I can find one reasonably priced!
