Curious about what our MMC members have decided about Nintendo's latest console. I think there are a lot of good reasons for people to wait, not least of all because of the price, but the jump in specs and additional features also make it an exciting release. The original Switch is already 8 years old (maybe I'm getting old but it doesn't feel like it's already been eight years, haha) so many people have been waiting for its successor for awhile. Personally, I did end up pre-ordering because I want to be able to cover any Pokémon news for my website. If I wasn't running PokéJungle, I don't know if I would have picked it up immediately. I actually waited to buy the original Switch until LGPE was announced. There's also the downside of pre-ordering that you get the only launch color available and, based on historical trend, we'll probably see a Pokémon version released at some point.

Thank you! Yes, I was unsure if I should even attempt it, because if the poll doesn't reach far, the results won't give an accurate view. Thankfully, voting is going beyond expectations at the moment, and if the pace of this keeps up, we are going to see some really clear results and insight into which Pokémon people love!

That's quite an undertaking, but I am excited who will win. I already voted some of my favourites.

wowww!! These are so good. I love the vibes

I wish these were still $10 a piece! They used to be so easy to buy. Here we go...buckle up Alolan Grimer Bounsweet Rowlett Lurantis Alolan Muk All Necrozma forms Lunala Togedaymaru (I have NO CLUE) how to spell this one

I've always wanted to be able to visit the Anime-exclusive locations in-game. I loved the Orange Island badges, for example. In general, my dream Pokemon game involves combining all locations-- games (spin-off and mainline) and anime and letting us explore them all to the fullest. I think Pokemon Stadium did a neat thing where your Pokemon's hue changed slightly based off the nicknames. Having more ways Pokemon can be unique is really cool. The Pinkan berry is an obvious ones, but also like how there has been a Pikachu with blue eyes. I definitely think we can see more physical differences, especially now that we have height/weight differences as well in-game.

Yeah, the price is a large part of why I'm having to be especially picky despite liking a lot of these a lot. My day 1's are Ribombee (though, I'd love a shiny version-- if only), Lurantis, and Stufful. I'd like to get Rockruff, Togedemaru, Dedenne, and Primarina (and/or Brionne) in the future. I also really love how Minior (Red Core) came out-- I think it looks great, but it's definitely low priority. Some of the other Pokemon that I'm not sure if I'll get or not are Magearna, Nebby Cosmog, and Pallosand. Possibly Alolan Vulpix as well.

Super retro vibe! Very lovely.

It's good to see you like Slowpoke. Initially I was a bit worried about the inconsistent line art, but it seems like you don't mind. Also thank you for showcasing my work JohtoTimes, that was very kind of you. This time it's Cubone's turn. I also tried my hand at a R&G style sprite for it.

this didn't age well :(

I try (with difficulty) to be professional and as neutral as possible when it comes to everything I write, but speaking personally I despise everything that is going on with this hobby. As a fellow collector, I have struggled to obtain older cards to complete my childhood collections, and even more so with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 151. There are some incredibly selfish people out there who only care about the money, and how much of it they can make. No consideration is given to genuine collectors, players, and the target audience who are children. I also don't believe The Pokémon Company are going to do much about it, when all of this is benefitting them financially. Stores certainly won't, given how much money they're making, it's a guarenteed seller! I hope TPC do print all of these cards into the ground, but maybe they should create less sets, and publish them for longer periods? Having a new set every 2-3 months is a huge problem.
