Merch is like my favourite Pokemon thing these days! Just make lots of threads about it and I will reply to them all. :O

The manga is supposed to be pretty good. I've only read a little bit of the start of Pokemon Adventures though. Maybe you should try it out? You can find a heap here. I couldn't find the XY manga online yet though, but I don't exactly know where to look. xD

Aww thanks! :D I might do it when WAR is finished!
