sorry to say I will not be doing an advent calendar this year. because of the nightmare that shopping to the usa has been i didn't wanna bother getting one, rip. i may rebloggo a few highlights over the next month though

#i don't even have a sillay advent calendar for myself this year #and it's definitely not because i completely forgot to look for one until it was too late #advent calendar

Happy to help with the fun box. Also I was amazed at how accurate your memory was too. That artistic recreation especially was spot on.

i remember them fondly despite them being a thing i bought exactly once ❤️

seriously though thanks

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ARCEUS DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER POKEMON FUN BOXES

They were these boxes of Pokemon stuff they used to have at walmart in target back in the day, it would of been in RSE-Early DP era? One of those things where they'd shove a bunch of stuff together to try and get rid of em, they looked something like this:

I remember them fondly but I haven't been able to find anyone else so much as mention them in passing, surly there must be someone else out there who remembers

I can tell you exactly what was in em too:

On the front they had one of these big Topps cards, and on the sides it showed what was in them, I can't remember if there was anything on the backs

There were several packs each of Merlin/Topps stickers and tattoos:

One of these jumbo stickers:

And finally, there would be three keychain/phone strap things that came in gashapon capsules; I still have one of them!

(And apparently some of the tattoos, which I found while looking for the Rayquaza) I know I also had a mew strap, and I don't remember what the third one was but either pikachu or jirachi sound right?

Blease the only people who seem to remember them are me and my siblings but there were always around at stores for several years, someone else has to have bought them,,

OK, so I took pics of everything in mine. I couldn't find the pikachu card at the moment, but at least you have a pic of that already.

This is probably the most complete account of these fun boxes on the internet now lol.

#i want 2 clarify bc theres some confusion in the notes #the stuff i listed wasn't just examples of things that could be in them #those are very specifically the things that were in them #there were no tcg cards or accessories! it was mostly the gen1 merlin/topps stuff

i just realized I never actually posted about these whoops

we found these at my beloved discount store; they're a bunch of obviously-ai-generated books, but from a time before ai could even remotely pass as human (I think at least one of em was from 2020? or earlier) so the contents are. interesting.

most of it is complete nonsense but there are certainly some amusing passages

#there are several more actually these are just ones we dug up while looking for something #these snippets don't fully convey how many undertale characters get namedropped #not technically a bootleg but its in the spirit of it #not pokemon #do i have to add a bunch of anti-ai tags lest people think i support it or can i let my disdain just remain implied

oh yeah. i think i'm onto something here

#playstore slop #i love when they give you random usernames

necklesslapras

i have some vague aspirations of playing a bunch of dogshit pokemon ripoff apps to post about but a wrench has been thrown into my plans already bc the first one i went for has been pulled from the play store and the servers are gone

rip to petventure final quest i played you three times and then forgot about you for a couple days but you will be missed

these screenshots are all that remain

necklesslapras

update: i've found another app that seems to be exactly the same game under a different name. will keep you posted, unless i forget again

necklesslapras

well i've kept up playing the second copy of the game ("Poke Meta") and unfortunately. it's a perfectly average game. exactly what you would expect from a pokemon themed auto battler. there is literally nothing funny i could say about this. the story segments stop happening after a few chapters so there's not even any more wacky dialogue.

but i keep playing to get them dailies so. if anyone plays this tripe shoot me a friend request

but the game still gets a 0/10 because i am being censored

necklesslapras

oh that's a good sign

necklesslapras

the saga continue

i got this ad and thought "yeah I'm in the mood for some play store slop" and downloaded it instantly

should have taken a closer look at the HUD in those screenshots BECAUSE ITS THE SAME GAME AGAIN

gameplay's the same, animations are the same, lots of icons are the same, only difference is that now the UI is bloated to the point of being unnavigable

it seems they're trying to hide the fact that they're the same game that's already been pulled from the store twice because these pieces of work are the only pics on the store page

i think id rather play whatever the fuck is going on here actually

#i've mostly been saved from playing dogshit gacha apps for a while on account of my phones battery is kinda whack rn and can't-#sustein long gameplay sessions #but i have a hankering #i may look for more fun ones #im sure not playing this one again #not if i have to start from scratch #i really should come up w a tag for these #uhh #playstore slop #<-that works #pokemon

damon bear...

#not pokemon #well. there's pokeballs. does that count #capsule machine #hatsune miku

I have had this bootleg Reshiram figure forever, ever since I was a young child. I forget about it most days as it sits on my mirror. I used to have a hand full of bootleg figures... unsure if they got thrown away or misplaced... Reshiram is the only Survivor. He's a little dusty too--- sorry!!!

#ask #she screamin

i felt compelled to share these very obviously bootleg figures i saw at the mall once and i wouldve gotten them if they werent ! 27$ ! i wonder why that store's not there anymore

#ask #a lot going on here
