Just a quick heads up: Paul has drawn the winners for the TCG giveaway. However, we can’t announce all the winners until they have replied back to us. So everyone should check their email to see if they’ve won something. You’ll find the details contained in the mail. We’ll put up the list for each of you to see as soon as we received a reply from everyone who won.
On a side note, I will likely put up an article later today or tomorrow. The news is back to its slow times, so we have little to report on it. However, if there is some topic that you like to be discussed, you can comment about in down here and maybe I’ll put up an article with my opinion on it.
UPDATE: Ultron has won! I waited until I could make email contact, sorry for the delay! Here was the winning comment which was drawn at random:
The first memory that I can remember of having a TCG card was when my sister, my mother, and I all went to a local meijer store. My sister was all into pokemon and collecting the cards and everything so of course, I was too. I didn’t have any cards though so I desperately wanted some. Near the front of the store there was a big display that had a bunch of booster packs so I begged my mom to let me get one. She let my sister and I each get one so I looked at them all and decided to go with the pack that had a zapdos on the front. After we had paid for them my sister and I ripped off the packaging and started shuffling through our cards. My sister just got a bunch of boring common ones but when I looked through mine I saw that I got a holographic zapdos and a mewtwo. My sister was so jealous and mad that she kept trying to tell me they were bad ones so that she could have them. I wouldn’t budge though so I kept onto it because it was all pretty and special and rare. Unfortunately, my sister eventually grew out of pokemon and didn’t like it anymore. This came as a big blow to me because if something wasn’t cool to my sister, it wasn’t cool to me. So I ripped up all of my cards and threw them into the trash. Even my zapdos and mewtwo. It breaks my heart just to type that. I wish I could go back and have them all back. But a few years ago I started collecting again and even learned how to actually play the game. I haven’t had a new pack in quite some time but I just love the feeling of opening a new pack and the feeling of excitement of looking through them just like when I got my first pack.
Sounds fun, congratulations Ultron!!

I love plushies, is this another giveaway or you are just teasing us?
He’s just teasing! We’ve been talking a lot about Pokémon merchandise and plushes in the staff chat lately. Dae went ahead and ordered these.
You never know when we will hold our next giveaway though!
Oh, well, they look so cute and cool.
But I’m not jealous; nothing can replace my Togepi plushie
This has nothing to do with the site. I just received this in the mail today for my own use :-).
Need. Giant Snorlax. Now.
OMG ITS A ESPEON PLUSHIE!!!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!! *-* (sorry about that I went a little fangirl) *screeches*
that Eevee plushie is adorable~!♥ (^w^)
There should be a discussion as to what kind of Pokemon we want in X/Y. Like, say you would want a Tasmanian Devil Pokemon, you would talk about it and the further details of what you would like it to be.
Minotaur. I want one of these but not as a tauros evo
There have been quite few Pokemon I created over time, and my favorites included a Tasmanian Devil and the other one was an Elephant-Falcon hybrid. It has a steel beak, sharp talons, and large tusks that can flips cars like they were a balloon. I had some others, but my memory of them is a little foggy, so i couldn’t go to far into detail of those.
Have u still got the pic, coz me and probably half of the people reading this would like to see it!
Sadly, I don’t. I used to make my own Pokemon cards, and I made quite a few, but over the years and several movings, they got lost.
I could jump in there and beat Dae to it, and say that something like that will be coming up in a future episode of Journey to X & Y… But I’m not sure he’d be too happy. UGH.
I want a Tazmanian Pokémon.
How about that beautiful 15th anniversary TCG set? Crazy beautiful. I’d like to see a speculation article about the how x&y may use the 3DS features, because I’m thinking of some crazy things. Random spotpass and streetpass features.
Pikachu’s card art is just WOW
SO WOW! He’s all grown up. ;’)
Could you guys change the poll to something else, perhaps who is your favourite helioptile pancham fletchling or go goat? The polls been the same for a while
I don’t have acces to the poll though. Looks like I’ll have to bug Paul about it, but he’s so busy these days :/
