PokéGeist Zine

Welcome to PokéGeist: Mischief in Making, a Pokémon Fanzine centered around Ghost Type Pokémon and the trainers who love and specialize in them! For generations, Ghost Pokémon have always been the eeriest and most mysterious of the 18 types. From Lavender Town’s Pokémon Tower to the Old Cemetery in the Giant’s Bed in Galar, these rare and mysterious beings have wandered the planet causing mayhem in all sorts of ways, whether general hauntings or mischievous fun. Let’s see what these fascinatingly frightening Pokémon are up to~

Title: if you're looking for a fright (turn off the light) Fandom: Pokemon Sword & Shield Rating: T Relationships: none Length: 2.8k words Where to Read: Archive of Our Own Notes: I wrote this piece for the Pokegeist Ghost-type Pokemon Zine! Leftover sales are open now, so you can snag your copy of the zine if you missed preorders!

The sun’s final rays stretch across Stow-on-Side Stadium, gleaming along the surface of the water encircling the gym. A cool autumn breeze flows through the town, and Allister shivers slightly in the chill air. 

“This research project better be worth the time, Hop.” Bede’s arms are crossed as he leans back against the dilapidated wooden fence. He’s squinting in the late afternoon light, his head turned so he’s looking into the Glimwood Tangle.

Hop scowls for a moment before he schools his features. “It will be. Sonia’s been looking into ghosts around the region ever since she got back from the Crown Tundra. She wants me to compare and contrast between authentic and phony Sinistea for the project. A worthy endeavour — see if we can figure out the differences other than the stamp alone.”

“S-so we’re looking for Sinistea.” Allister tilts his head as he looks at Hop. The teen had asked for his help two nights prior with a “Ghost-type research mission” in the Glimwood Tangle, with a promise to share details when they set out into the forest. Allister’s knowledge of ghosts, he’d said, would be of invaluable help to Hop and Sonia’s research. 

Hop grins brightly and laces his fingers behind his head. “Yeah! Our main goal is to find a Sinistea colony. Once we find the colony, we’re to observe them in their natural environment, and catch an authentic Sinistea.

February 2024 Update

👻Hey Boos, Ghouls, and everybone in between~ We hope you had a good holiday and a nice start to the New Year! 🧧

This is just a courtesy update that the acrylic pins have arrived and were quality checked by our shipping mod. Remaining stickers are on their way to us as well!

📨The bubble mailers should be arriving in the next few days or so, so all Book-Only orders will start shipping out ASAP. We're getting boxes for the bundles but as soon as those are in hand, bundle orders will begin shipping out! How exciting!!🎃

⚠️URGENT REMINDER⚠️

If your address has changed at all in the last two years, PLEASE send us an email with the name the order is under, your order # if you have it, and your address as it appears on legal mail so we can make sure you get your packages swiftly and safely!

We are aiming to take February and early March to get everything shipped out so please stay tuned for updates!

December 2023 Update

Happy Holidays!

A couple of weeks ago, our new Shipping Mod received the acrylic standees and washi tape from our manufacturer. Due to the holidays, there was some delay in getting to the packages and quality checking everything, but we've come with an update!

After going through all of the acrylic standees that have arrived, we learned that they were misprinted and the front of the standee rests in the middle of the base instead of the edge. This is an error on our previous Finance & Shipping mod's part but we do have an alternative.

We do not have the funds to get all of the standees reprinted, so we will be sending out an email to all buyers here shortly with a form asking if you'd like the misprinted standee pictured above, or would prefer the alternative option.

We will be getting the front of the standees printed as an acrylic pin as it's much more cost effective and buyers are still able to obtain the acrylic standee in some form.

Acrylic pins look like this for those wondering and we will be going with the rubber clutch backing.

Pictures provided by Vograce.

We once again apologize for setbacks, but with the holidays and the rollercoaster of communication, we have finally been able to continue moving forward with this project and thank you all for your continued support and patience during this time.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us via our email: pokegeistzine(@)gmail(dot)com

Are there any new updates about the zine? Even a "no updates right now" would be a huge relief... I was very excited for this zine, and I'm still holding out hope that all your hard work pays off!

Hi there! I’ve only just now been able to see this by going into tumblr mobile as for some reason I can’t see any messages on the desktop site, but we made an update a few hours ago regarding updates for the last month and a half! I hope that they bring back that spark ✨ We’re so close to finally having everything in our hands so hopefully just a couple weeks more 🙏

November 2023 Update

Hi there everyone!

We know it's been a while since we've last updated our tumblr page and we sincerely apologize. We've been more active on our twitter account with updates and haven't updated here yet.

Without further ado, here's everything that's happened thus far!

• Cym is no longer the Finance & Shipping mod on PokéGeist. The roles have been transferred over to Mods Nisnow (Finance) and Raleigh (Shipping) instead.

• Cym has sent over the remaining funds for PokéGeist to Mod Nisnow.

• All merchandise orders except for the stickers, washi tapes, and acrylic standees have been shipped to Mod Raleigh. He has quality checked everything and items have been accounted for.

• Original stickers were lost so Cym reordered the stickers with our manufacturer out-of-pocket and have also reordered the standees and washi tapes as they have gone missing in the post. They are expected to ship out from the manufacturer directly to Mod Raleigh on December 1st.

• In December, customer orders will begin shipping out so expect them either late December or early January 2024. If you need a change of address, please email us directly with your order number and updated address. Please make sure your address is correct and written as it would be written on legal mail. We will not be responsible or held liable for lost orders on account of customer address errors.

Again, we do apologize for all of the set-backs. As per the email we sent out back in October explaining the situation at hand, things have been quite rocky for a while. We've been doing our best to remedy the situation and are proud to announce that the final stretch is here. Once the last items arrive, we can finally close out this project and get everyone their beloved spooktacular items.

While we wish that everything could have been delivered in time for the Halloween season, there were many factors outside of our control and we're just happy to finally have some progress from where we were months ago.

We once again apologize for the wait and want to thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or need to update your address, please feel free to email us at [email protected] where we will be able to get to you sooner than through tumblr asks. (Also, for some reason, tumblr on desktop shows that we have inbox messages, but when we click on them, the inbox is empty and we cannot view them.)

With that, here are the pictures that Mod Raleigh took over the last week of the merchandise that had arrived!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

We have sent out an email to all buyers of our zine regarding the project's status. Please look out for it, and check your spam if needed. If you have any questions or did not receive it, please email us at pokegeistzine @ gmail . com

[pokegeistzine]

Hey everyone! It's been a little while since our last update!

The mini prints, charms, cards, notepads, and enamel pins have all finished production and have arrived safely to our Finance & Shipping Mod!

We are currently waiting on the zines to arrive (the manufacturer dropped them off on Tuesday (two days ago), the stickers will be shipped out next week, and the standees & washi tapes will be shipped out in about 2 weeks.

We sincerely apologize for how long this has taken, but full transparency: there were many issues with our manufacturers from both the production side and communication side that held everything back for so long.

We're pleased to announce that once everything arrives, packages should start shipping out at the beginning of September, so they will start arriving in time for Spooky Season!

Once again, thank you so much for your continued support and patience, and we will update everyone with more information as things begin to finally move along!

Now for the photos!

Pokémon Cards:

Glow-in-the-Dark Charms:

We currently don't have an image available yet for the notepads, but we have those as well! We will update this post once we get the photo~
