This category covers Geek and Nerd culture in a general sense… so like non-Pokémon related titles as well as generic umbrella subcategories which may also cover Pokémon.

So plain, but so historic!

This year for Worlds 2025, I’m releasing four custom cards to help promote Pokémon Aaah!, and I want to share more info about each card being released. The first promo card is “Sample Pikachu”. Now this card may not appear all that special—after all you’ve likely seen plenty of Pikachu from the Card-E era—but this […]


I hope you enjoy my quaint little website!

If you’re new here, maybe you found out about us after finding one of our custom promo cards from Worlds 2025 Anaheim? Or maybe you’re just checking us out randomly. Either way, howdy friend!

The latest Pokémon video game—Pokémon BrilliantDiamond/ShiningPearl (“BDSP”)—was released worldwide this past November 19th. And just like almost every single Pokémon game released since Pokémon Yellow in 1999, I bought it on Day One and have been playing it as much as I can since then. And, well… it’s everything I expected it to be, and […]


It may be twenty years hence, but we can't forget the nostalgia-fans and old-mags of Pokémon!

Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating earlier… BDSP has kinda… well,… absorbed my time. Plus I’m still getting used to my new work/sleep schedule; like, in the past I usually would start working on an article around 9pm my time, but that was because I could go to bed any time I want. Now my […]
