Last year I bought Pokémon Sun; this year I wanted to follow it up with Ultra Moon (for the sake of variety). There were several Ultra Moons, but only one Pokémon Ultra Sun that was still shrinkwrapped for just $5 more. So much for variety

Al Kahn, former president of 4Kids, has claimed he's the one who came up with the portmanteau "Pokémon" after "Pocket Monsters" couldn't be cleared due to the Monster In My Pocket toys. I wanted to ask Gail if she could verify that. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social do you know?
#PRGE #PRGE2026

There was a Q&A period, but they never called on me. You may remember that I got to meet Gail last year; there was no meet-and-greet this year. Which meant I couldn't have the burning Pokémon question answered that only she would know.

So when genAI first started coming around, @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social started putting it in the images for their newsletters. I didn't like that but I've been too busy to really say anything. Now it's at the actual expo itself?? This is very upsetting and better not happen again.
