Picture from Tokyo

I was tickled to see this picture in my inbox this morning from my boyfriend.  He saw this while he was out shopping in Tokyo and decided to snap a pic on his iPhone 4 (I’m anti-Apple, but the quality of the picture is amazing) because he knows I am a Pokemon fan and am super excited for Black and White.

Just thought I’d share it~ <3  Can’t wait to go to Japan in Sept or Oct to see him again.  If anyone remembers I was in Alabama with him when I re-opened PJN.

<3 pokejungle

ps- Yes, the boxes are empty :p  GameStop (in the US) also puts out empty boxes of soon to be released games for promotional displays and such.

pps- Help me think up an IRC channel name for PJN!!  Our old on was #GreatMarsh… I kind of liked it :s

    • Those are only available from the actual Pokemon Center stores in Japan, I don’t think I clarified that ><; I went to the Osaka store once :3 It was just full of little kids Dx

    • It’s just publicity, like the giant posters they hang on Gamestop windows here. The banners look pretty cool, though.

      • Hey, let’s take it easy, I thought they were selling them at first too. 😛

        But unfortunately they aren’t, But it’d be sweet if we could see the back of the cases. 🙂

  1. OOH! It would be neat if we could see the back of the box!

    I think we should call the IRC The White Forest! It goes great with Pokejungle!

      • It’s completely worth it because they last a long time.

        Plus it is expensive because of the high quality software and incredible virus protection

        • Ah, Apple products~

          I don’t like them because of the restrictive nature Apple employs with all of their products. Limited compatibility and limited user freedoms. Windows is fine for me and I also use Linux 8D

        • My Nokia telephone, Iriver mp3 player and Compaq computer are pretty sturdy too. And less then a quarter of the price of an Iphone, Ipod and Ibook.

          I’m not sure were you live, but if it America, then electronics are a lot cheaper then where I live. Apple products are still more expensive in comparison, everywhere in the world, but you won’t have to give up more then a month’s pay to get it. 😉 Which I just can’t afford to pay, because I need luxuries like food, a roof over my head, water, clothing etc.

          Apple products are nice for companies, or spoiled rich kids, but not so much for normal everyday use. There are so many great, cheaper, alternatives.

          • I’m not a spoiled rich kid, and I have a macbook and itouch, but I saved up money and bought my ipod and the macbook was my sisters but she got a Macbook pro

    • Ahaha, it’s the same month everywhere in the world :p Japan gets Black and White on Sept 18th so we still have over a month left.

      • THATS STUPID!!!! also,when does corocoro leak,and i need to know where i could find the leaks,so i can look for them

        Reply
        • It usually leaks around the 11th. You’re best off sticking with me or serebii to get the leaks first unless you’re fluent in Japanese :p

          Reply
          • Hey but doesn’t this issue of Corocoro come out early? Like the 11th ? So that would mean leaks would come earlier too..?

  3. O_O
    soooo many…. maybe i could just take one ^^;
    get you’re bf to grab one for me?
    even if they’re empty? 😀
    i’d just sit and stare at it. xDDD

  4. I think it would be funny if there was a lemming Pokemon. Lemmingwinks use “mass genocide”, yeah! I have issues…anywho. Great Marsh is good,actually. How bout PalPark?

  5. I was feeling bored today, so I wanted to try my hand at translating some of those rumored Pokemon names from Saturday

    Shikijika= shiki (4 seasons)+shika (deer) (it seems someone beat me to this on the old topic)
    Kamuusu- Moose (the fire-type)
    Numanshun- Marsh deer + shun (season)(from ‘numashika’, had to search wikipedia for this one) (grass)
    Kaributoo- Caribou (ice)
    Puzushuu- Pudu (psychic)
    Burokko-Bitamia-brocco(li) and vitamin. lol wut (grass)
    Marugon-Horurugon-Shindoshin- maru=round, horu=to dig, shindoo=tremor (incidentally, Doshin the Giant was an old Nintendo game)
    Minezumi-Miruhoggu-Jiromiguma- I’m going to speculate here. The endings of these three names come from different animals (nezumi=mouse, hoggu=(ground)hog, guma=bear), but the beginnings gave me some trouble. Now I think it’s supposed to be mi(ru)=to look and jiro jiro miru= to stare. I speculate that, if Jiromiguma is real, he’s a spectacled bear with the same eye patterns as its previous forms. And also, its English name should totally be Starebear. :p
    Hoshibotaru-Tendooru- Almost certainly star+firefly Tendooru might come from tentomushi (ladybug), but that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Maybe it comes from tandoor as well (tandooru in Japanese), but that makes even less sense. (bug/electric)
    Karottoru-Panpusu- Carrot, and pump(kin) (jack-o-lantern? Yes please!) (grass/ghost)
    Koodoru-Takoodon- Both have the word ‘cord’ in their names (electric)

    Aaaaand… that’s all I can figure out. The rest of them are too difficult or have been translated before.
