Yeah, that’s a good point, usually I try to steer away from politics...

It’s sad you didn’t get to check out the NYC Pokémon Center. Nintendo World is nothing compared to it and all the times I went there, I came out empty-handed because 95% of the stuff that’s there is stuff you can buy just about anywhere anyway. Most of the floor is reserved just for gaming stations, which is dang disappointing. There were a lot of things I saw at the NYC Pokémon Center that I wish I bought, but I’m happy I did come home with quite a few things anyway and I still have them, too.

Really, they’d do much better to change it back. I still see kids are very much into Pokémon and you’ve still got plenty of us folks in the older generations still into it. If they changed it back, heck, I’d consider going back again. It’s Nintendo’s top franchise, why did they change it?

These days, I just get the stuff from the Pokémon Center website and from Mercari. Mercari is… ugh, man, it’s a hard struggle to avoid succumbing to temptation there. Still on the lookout for a great Jirachi plush that’s under $50. XD
