As the 3DS and Wii U servers close for good, I thought it'd be appropriate to share a feature I published back in February relating to backwards compatibility with Pokémon games.

All 75 Neo Discovery cards are now inside the folder! This marks my fifth complete set (Base, Jungle, Fossil,Team Rocket, Neo Discovery)

I'm still working out which classic set I try to complete next, I'm very close with Neo Revelation and Neo Genesis, but I might chase up the Pokémon 151 set!

If you had to get a tattoo of a who would it be?

For me it would be Haunter or Gengar.

@johto@donphan.social avatar

@HailsandAles a tricky one, but probably my favourite Pokémon: Rowlet!

Over the years I've had so many favourites though so it'd be difficult to settle on only one.

I already have seven others so I am getting close to owning them all!

@SirTapTap What's the issue you have with Substack exactly? It's been great for my newsletter, and is free!

@johto@donphan.social avatar

Normally I would hold off on sharing what's inside the Johto Times in advance, but i'm super excited about this issue!

I will be publishing an interview with Johto, the band behind the Totally Pokémon album, tracks such as the Gold & Silver Poké Rap and the Johto Journeys theme!

Did anyone collect Pokémon trading cards from the Skyridge set? It was the final Wizards of the Coast release for Pokémon, but I really love the artwork!

johto,
@johto@donphan.social avatar

@Hika Thanks for the message! Which sets did you used to collect?

johto,
@johto@donphan.social avatar

@Hika oh I see. That's still cool though, I didn't inherit sets but I did buy some from friends. I'd love to see what you have sometime!

Got the afternoon to myself, so i'm sat here with a cup of tea, going over the edits for issue 32. How is everyone doing today?

johto,
@johto@donphan.social avatar

@cafou I've had a nice relaxing day, and met with a friend for lunch. Then on the way home I started to think about future content for the newsletter, and got motivated to work through some edits.

A few more plush toys I own!, I picked up Lugia after attending an event last year with friends, I wanted to bring something back with me to remember the occasion.

Poliwrath was a gift from a friend who I met through Pokémon GO, and was chosen as we both have a love of the Pokémon thanks to the game.

The Pikachu riding Latios plush was gifted to me by the same friend! He knew that Latios was one of my favourite Pokémon in the past!

A friend in Japan was selling some of his old plush toys, and at the time I had no Latios plushes at all, despite always wanting one since I was a kid. He gave me it for a good price, and now it lives with me!

Here's a selection of Pokémon plush toys that I bought many years ago, which were originally in their boxes. I believe they were originally released in 1999 by Hasbro, but I can't be certain.

Pictured: Snorlax, Charmander, Snorlax, and Gengar

I'm looking for anyone who can confirm this.

For several years now, I've been frustrated that my copy of Official Nintendo Magazine 20 - September 2007 (UK) has page 43 and 44 torn out.
That's why it hasn't been released yet.

I bought a second copy last year and to my horror it had the same problem.

Not it seems that this was done by the team itself as page 43 was a misprint and they tore it out of the magazine before shipping?!

Can anyone confirm this?

johto,
@johto@donphan.social avatar

@OutofPrintArchive Did a quick reverse image search, and found that they used a stock image. Good job tracking it down to this point though!
