Pokémon

hey there,

I'd like to add a Pokémon Mini to my collection. Not all games have been released to PAL - do you know if those Minis are region locked or if it will play J-NTSC Games as well?

I had the chance to visit the Pokemon pop-up shop and mini exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London today. It featured a small display of artwork from the upcoming Pokemon Ecology book, a bunch of merch, and a rather cute diorama.

Those are some boosters I opened today (they have lots of them in store).

I bought this Chinese booster in a local store. But I don't know what are some beautiful cards I could get with it or the name of the extension in English.

Wonderful ROM hack, devoured this game. Truly a beautiful experience

Can someone help me evolve my Haunter into Gengar?

Follow your friendly glitch expert LalaZZ, who will try to teach you how to perfectly perform tweaking, which takes advantage of an oversight in the way maps load in games from Generation IV Pokémon games, especially Diamond and Pearl, and allows us to reach the fabled shadow realm known as the Mystery Zone! Hopefully everything will go fine and this won’t turn into a creepypasta...

It comes out on my birthday, so I got myself a really awesome birthday present. can't wait!

TO BE A POKÉMON MASTER: ULTIMATE JOURNEYS: THE SERIES (EP 1-11)

I’ve recently made a goal of getting shiny Jirachi for a christmas present for someone, so I dusted off this quest chain and have set to work. I haven’t found much useful research, so I wanted to share my findings in a comprehensive post.

First, I started in August 2025 with no best buddies. It’s early October and I have been spinning pokestops for 4 days and have 7 Kecleons. That’s right, seven. I’ll start with the best buddies, and move on to discuss my Kecleon findings and already working plans for step 4/6

Wish Granted 2/6: Hope You Like Daily Chores

I started out by assessing what buddies I had, and where they were. I didn’t care about combat power or stats, it was all about where the hearts were. I picked the most advanced 10, and favorites them. These were my team.

Every day, I spent 45 minutes playing with each member, feeding them, taking a photo, and doing 3 battles with the trainers. That put me 60 total hearts closer to the goal each day. If I found time to go to a new pokestop, or walk a route, or whatever, the lowest of the bunch was selected. The last member of the team completes the quest - so I spent a lot of time with low members leapfrogging each other as my finish date got dragged closer. As the first three got their ribbons, I tried to spend time on the lowest one more.

When I got down to five buddies remaining, I found a great sale on a box with 10 poffins, and started hammering lowest 2 every day. I made a goal of 20 hearts per poffin, and found it took an hour to walk 2km, find a new pokestop, and walk a route. Each day got me more than 2 extra days of progress, which helped immensely. With the poffins (and a few extra), I shaved 7 days off this death march.

Interlude: Friend Farming

One of the complaints I found researching this quest chain is being a rural player and needed Kecleons. Rural players also need to realize they need a Lucky Trade in the future steps as well. I addressed this by finding my nearest large event meeting and doing a dozen raid with everyone, and friend requesting everyone in the raid after we completed them.

If you’re not familiar, if you are local on a raid, after it’s done you can friend invite everyone that was there. This helps me work towards more best friends, and also I can watch the list on raid days, and jump in remotely if I’m too busy to go but want a rare fight.

I built a big friend list, and I have been trading gifts with everyone interested since then. I know I need a best buddy who can make a lucky trade with me in a few weeks, and that will take time. So I’m pestering my regular friends to be sure to open gifts, and building a huge reserve of friends I could become lucky with.

The extra XP doesn’t hurt either.

Wish Granted 3/6 Kecleon: the Awful Little Stop Humper

First, thank you to the programmers who gave up making Kecleon only visible locally.

You will need a city of about 60,000 or more people to do this in a reasonable amount of time. You want to be in an area with a lot of pokestops (the best advice I found stopped there). You need to look for:

• Large Parks
• Colleges and Universities
• Art Districts
• Historic Sites

I happened to be in Houston this weekend, and Montrose next to the University was dense with stops. Here’s what we know:

• Kecleon is about 1:200 in spawning
• He can spawn under a team rocket but can’t be seen/caught while they’re there.
• He spawns/despawns on the hour

So if you’re committed to insanity, that means you have to pick a dense area, sit in your car at five after the hour, and meticulously click on every pokestop in view that isn’t team rocket. After you finish, drive a half mile, repeat. I found that picking a landmark and working counterclockwise was my best way to keep track. Then repeat.

Remember you have to make it there and catch him by the end of the hour. At the end of the hour, click local, or accept you may find one you can’t reach.

Some things I’ve noticed (which may or may not be facts):

I have never seen them in view of each other.

I have seen them 5 miles apart in the same hour.

Okay, good luck! I’ll say more when I know more.

Mega hawlucha reveal!!
