Had to post something to commemorate the anniversary of the first Pokemon games today. It's not just any anniversary, it's the 30th birthday of Pokemon!

Back in the 90s it took a while for media to spread internationally, so I didn't actually discover Pokemon until 1999... which was actually before it launched in my country, thanks to the internet. The happy Pikachu plush in the first picture is my first Pokemon toy, given to me by my sister when she came back from a trip to the US.

Back when I was a kid, my favorite Pokemon would change very frequently, but Electrode has remained my absolute favorite Pokemon for over 20 years now. The second picture is a comparison of an Electrode plush I obtained in 2005 (released in 1996 or 97?) and a newer plush from a couple of years ago.

My tiniest collection pieces might be these Roselia figures from back when they made every single Pokemon in 1:40 scale. They have been tucked away in a tiny little bottle for safekeeping.

Shiratama and Kuromame are twin rabbits by plush company Sanei Boeki made to commemorate the Year of the Rabbit in 2023, I got them because I was born in a rabbit year.

My favorite playset from one of my favorite cartoons! I love the Powerpuff Girls.

@look-back-month-challenge 2026 day 13: Harmony

Immediately thought of that one scene in the My Little Pony n Friends TV show where the furbobs sing a little song in "The end of Flutter Valley" series of episodes that goes like "nature's in harmony, doo-wa doo-wa."
