KC’s Log: The Big Release
With so few big releases for Pokémon fans, it’s no wonder that there is such a hubbub about Platinum. A portion of this excitement comes from the Nintendo World Store release party this Saturday.
As you may have read, Jowy and I will be there, and already a few tribunites have told us that they are looking forward to meeting us. It’s always fun/scary meeting fans, especially since I still can’t actually grasp the concept that we have fans in the first place. One person actually asked if we could have lunch with his family (I respectfully declined).
Another thing I’m greedily looking forward to is the giving away of free stuff that usually accompanies these events. They are even advertising a “Pokemon Platinum Plunge” where attendees dressed as Pokémon character get dropped into a ball bin and try to grab prizes, including an exclusive Giratina branded DS. Sounds like something they might only let the young’ns do, but I’ll come in my Team Rocket outfit, just in case.
There will also be showings of the newest Pokémon movie, Pokemon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior . Best of all, everyone has a chance to get a copy of the game autographed by Game Producer Junichi Masuda and Director Takeshi Kawachimaru.
Speaking of Matsuda, I’d just like to remind everyone about Masuda’s blog, “Hidden Power of Masuda”. I haven’t checked it in a while because he doesn’t usually update often, but in last two months it’s been pretty busy, so check it out.
Hope to see plenty of you at the party!
*Sigh* I wish I could go. Anyway, be sure to tell us all about it on the next episode.
Well, those prizes make me want to book a flight to New York instead of California. A Giratina branded DS… -sigh- I hope some of you guys get some prizes to brag about to us people.
Again, have fun all of you, and don’t be afraid of your fans~!
have fun you guys!
Is the blog in English? Maybe a dumb question.
Could translate it if not.
I hope people who get to go have loads of fun. *sigh*
I really want that Giratina DS. oh, what I would give for that.
Giritina is so overused everywhere. Probably one of my least favorite Pokemon now.
Anyway, I’d love to meet up with you guys some time. Maybe for another release or something. I know once I get a car, I’m saving up for a cross country tour, meeting a bunch of TPTers.
I really wish I could go! I can’t wait till I can drive. I’m gonna come up there sometime.
Hopefully my friend and I can go the next time they have something like this.
Have fun guys!!!
Why can’t there be a Nintendo World Store here. Anyway, have fun, Jowy and KC. Please make an episode all about the party.
i can never make it. to these events. 2-3 hours away is a little to much for pokemon. besides im stuck camping
Darnit… Why does the East Coast get all the fun stuff… Ah well. Hope you guys have fun though!
Too bad I couldn’t go.
But seriously, I would never be able to fly somewhere for a Pokémon thing.
