Plague of Pokemons near you?
Anyone else have a racking cough that plagues you day and night? That’s my excuse for abandoning this blog for a week. Even in my feverish state last week however, I was haunted by ‘Zoodoku’ (think Sudoku but with Zookeeper animals instead of numbers) – a game I apparently made up. This is what gaming does to you.
Mana site has more wallpapers – both for the DS version. First one titled ‘Tree of Mana and the four’, the other is of another character, Tiss. Click on the ‘Goods’ tab, and you’ll see pics of collectable cards and Rabi in both cuddly (left) and cushion (right) formats. The cuddly set has two ickle ones both measuring about 12cm costing around £8.50, while the cushion version’s about 45cm and costs approx. £14.50. Click on the link directly below to get hold of some :)
Valkyrie Profile Lenneth has updates on Characters, and also added two new wallpapers – right hand corner as you enter site.
In other news, disturbingly, but fast becoming a reality, a Pokemon theme park is set to open its doors on 23rd June this year in Taipei. Fortunately, it does have an end-date of 24th September (imagine having a ‘PokePark’ in your city all the time… when in Japan, I live near the Tokyo Disneyland so believe me, I know the hardships involved!). Tickets are set to cost 860yuan (700 in advance) for adults, and 650yuan (520 advance) for kids. For the whole season, 2,500yuan for adults and 1,800yuan for kids. And Taiwanese McDonald chains will be distributing little booklets for the park from today, titled ‘Pokemon Scoop’.
