LINE Adds Animated Pokémon Stickers

Some of you may have seen on our Twitter that a third set of Pokémon stickers had been released for the messaging app LINE. For those of you not acquainted with the app, it is a free messaging service for iOS/Android/PC and widely used throughout Asia. Part of its appeal comes from “stickers”, or large emoticons/images, that you can send to friends to express yourself. Facebook has now implemented similar images into their messaging so the concept shouldn’t be too foreign to Westerners. Unlike Facebook, however, LINE often releases sets of images based on established brands and characters and charges $1-2 for them. This new set from Pokémon is the first to be animated.

imageTo the right you can see the full selection of stickers offered. For those curious about what some say in Japanese I’ll do a quick breakdown:

  • Lucario: Roger!
  • Shaymin: Thanks
  • Pokéball: *nervous/excited*
  • Wobbuffet: Is that so?!
  • Inkay: Well… whatever (it’s a pun in Japanese)
  • Chansey: Lucky!
  • Victini: Fight!
  • Electrode: On my way!
  • Greninja (scroll): (Japanese phrase used when leaving before others)

Let’s here what you think of them! The Pokéball just might be my favorite, although Bulbasaur, Inkay and Exeggutor are great too. I’ll be annoying all my friends with these from now on.

  1. Meh. Until I get an Archie sticker like my avatar, I’m not interested. They’re cute though. Especially that Lucario.

  2. Sorry guys, off topic again. This is about Star Wars. Some people say Harrison Ford will return as a force ghost (the hologram things Ben Kenobi, Yoda and Anakin are to Luke), but if you see his interview about the Force Awakens with Jimmy Fallon, you’ll see how much he hates and doesn’t want to be in Star Wars.

    • He couldn’t possibly return as a ghost. Only Jedi can do that. And yeah, he was killed because he didn’t like playing Han Solo

    • I mean he didn’t sign his contract for episode VI because he thought that they had killed of Han in the carbonite completely. I mean I knew of that huge spoiler before I even watch TFA because he had to die.
      Regarding force ghosts, both Yoda and Obi learned it from Qui Gon, I still don’t know how Anakin learned it however. That always confused me as it’s something you have to learn how to do and if Anakin was so powerful, how come other beings strong with the Force couldnt do that? (I mean I’ve just finished the Clone Wars which I found enjoyable and granted yes, it came after ep III, but its still something to considered, seeing as how its canon)

      TL/DR: Han isn’t coming back
