Pokemon Cafe Tokyo

Early in 2018, a permanent Pokémon Café opened in Tokyo, and I was lucky enough to be able to visit it when I was in Japan! It’s been just about a year since I went, but I’m finally getting around to sharing my impressions… with lots of photos, of course!

This month, we’re shifting the Community Game-Along theme focus away from genres of games to a game developer! The theme for May is Game Freak, the Japanese game developer famous for the Pokémon series. But that’s not all!

I’ve been following PaletteMeli on Instagram for a while now, and I always love her adorable pastel designs! Which is why when I heard that she had opened preorders for a new Pokétreat pin series and extended the deadline when the preorder goal hadn’t been met, I knew I had to share it to help spread the word!

Ugly Plants Kawaii Shop Review with Discount Code

I first became aware of Stasia’s adorable brand Ugly Plants around the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, when photos of her amazing Mimikyu plushies were circulating around the internet. But I soon found out that Stasia is not only extremely skilled at making plushies of Pokémon and other cute characters, but all kinds of other merchandise, too!

February Favorites: Pokemon Stickers and Folding Clothes

3 / 14 / 17

February Favorites 2017 Chic Pixel

I love how my February Favorites roundup is at two extremes: on one end, I purchased a sticker book that is meant for children, and on the other, I’m perfecting the very boring yet adult art of organizing my clothes. At least I keep things interesting! This month’s post will be shorter than previous Favorites, but you may be surprised to read what I have to say about each one of my picks!

Chie Shinkyu's 72-Year-Old Mikako is an episodic light comedy manga about an older woman living on her own and writing a diary in the form of DMs to her deceased husband. This may sound sad, but Mikako is always on the move, and her life is full of joy and friendship. (1/2)

Uh, no thank you?? 😝❌ But actually, Taiga is Uh, no thank you?? 😝❌ But actually, Taiga is definitely one of my fav characters in Variable Barricade! It’s such a fun game if you’re looking for a goofy romantic comedy with generally low stakes (though I might suggest skipping the true end all together… more on that in my review, coming soon!) ⭐️⭐️ Tune in for the Variable Barricade stream on @aksysgames Twitch tomorrow 3pm PT (Thursday US time, Friday 10am Sydney time) for their launch stream! I’ll be there along with @blerdyotome and some other very cool folks!

Sharing art + making a video = ANXIETY OVERLOAD 😫😅 Anywaaay, I loved this screenshot from ACPC @cozynamie took so much that I tried recreating it with two different mediums! Colored pencils were my first attempt, gouache second. It’s good practice to do the same piece a couple of times! Thanks again @cozynamie for letting me use your screenshot as a ref 💕

Do you have any rare 3DS games in your collection? Bonus: swipe to see the game under Strange Journey!
