omg it looks like a shonen anime opening

Pokemans! (Again!) I got dressed up for this one in the most traineriest outfit I could manage on the quick. I then headed up to Sunshine City shopping center where the largest Pokemon Center yet is. It opened fairly recently and it was pretty cool. I'm sorry in advance to my parents (and other family) who are looking for updates on what their daughter is up to on the other side of the world, but instead are getting me nerding out about Pokemon. I promise I will post other stuff about today later. Though I am sorry too because that will mostly be pictures of food. Suffice it to say, I did a thing, it was exciting to me. I'm not going to lie and say this wasn't 90% a shopping trip. I wish that I had a DS with me because that was the other main thing to do - pretty much a meet up for people with the games with them so they could wirelessly trade stuff. I bought myself... Well a bunch of stuff, including a pikachu hoodie, a trainer cap and a bunch of pokeballs (which came with candy and figurines in them but which I was mostly buying so that I could costume with them later). The only slightly disappointing thing about the adventure was that most of the merchandize was focused on the newest games released (X and Y). I probably would have spent a lot more money if there was more original game stuff (besides, of course, pikachu who was, as usual, everywhere). Also gym badges. They only had two pins available, both from the Kalos League (X and Y). I bought both, because I'm a nerd. I would have bought a full set of the first gen gym badges in a heart beat. Too bad they make and release this stuff as limited edition and then never make it again... Because not I'm going to have to give my money to the internet for them. /rant I did think it was cool (and clever) of them to give you a ticket with your receipt which you used at a sort of chance game outside. I got three spins (number based on what you spent) of a... Sort of pachinko thing? Depending in the color if the ball, you got prizes. I wound up with two limited edition postcards and four digital game chips for a Pokemon catching arcade game called Tretta. The game costs 100yen to play, but one also needs a Pokemon chip to start playing. Essentially, you battle your Pokemon with wild Pokemon in the game and then you can catch them. And when you do, it spits out another digital chip. So people try to collect them all. A super nice attendant showed me how to play (using lots of hand motions). I only played once because... Well it costs 100yen to play (about 85 cents US?) You can also get the game chips that I won out of Gacha machines, but they cost 200yen. Though they do also come with a pokeball that has 6 slots to hold game cards. Nifty. I can see how the game could be kind of addicting, so good thing its only in Japan.
