Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You" #14: Nemu Yumemi

I dream of going on a journey just the two of us... One where, despite its initial extreme puppy feel... like, when it is a Pochiena I need to protect it... I grow totally dependent on Graena during the course of the journey...! I just can't get enough of how it gnaws on things all the time, being a Dark type and all...!!

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #14: It's Time for the Second Half: Golden Week Will Be the Crunch Time!

We've finally reached the second half of the "Pokémon Elections 720"!
The world has now entered Golden Week!

And I can see them...
The people turning in ballots for the "Pokémon Elections 720"!



If you go somewhere for Golden Week,
I'd really really like you to try dropping by stores and theaters
where they have "Pokémon Elections 720" ballots.

See, I've realized the following:
If I, someone who's not yet in the top 100, is going to win this,
I need all you guys to help me.



I'm begging you, please give me a voooote!

The way it looks so dumb is really cute! And since it's Dark/Fighting type, it's really easy to use from the very start of the game! Its Ability being "Shed Skin" makes me assume the sagging "pants" is actually its skin. It's my favorite Pokémon.

I just love the way it looks. The rabbit-like ears, the circular eyes, the fluffy fur around the neck... It's just way too cute. It's also really awesome how it can evolve into many different Pokémon.

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #11: My Public Promise...

I sometimes think about the near future,
about what comes after I've won the "Pokémon Elections 720".



Once I've won...
I'll let you stroke me in PokéParler to your heart's content.
I promise you that stroking me will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

This is my public promise to you all!!

What? You're telling me to promise to evolve from being stroked?
Only Nymphia does that kind of nonsense!



Ooow!
Nymphia-chan just slapped me!

Once you want to evolve someone, just plain leveling them up will always be the superior method!
That aside, send in a vote for me!

Because the first Game Boy game I ever played was the Pikachu Version in German, back when I lived in Switzerland.

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #10: This is Amazing, you Can Vote Via 7-Eleven Too!

I've received a letter today.
It's from "Dedenne Fan" in Tokyo.



To Nyarth
I wanted to send in a vote for Dedenne,
but when I went to 7-Eleven, they didn't have any ballots.
How can I vote?

Even though you wanted to vote for Dedenne,
I'm going to be merciful.

Let me teach you how to vote via 7-Eleven!



To vote via 7-Eleven, you need a game system in the Nintendo 3DS series.
You won't be able to vote smoothly unless your system has been updated,
so bring a game system in the Nintendo 3DS series that has the latest update installed.

Once you're in the store, look for this sign that says "7-Spot".



Once you've accessed "DS via 7-Spot", tap the "Pokémon Elections 720" banner.
Then search up the Pokémon you want to vote for and press the vote button.
No need for ballots or voting codes.

For further information, see this page:
http://7spot-info.jp/pokemon_election/

Got all that?
If you change your mind, I hope you'll vote for me.

All you readers out there, send in a vote for meee!

Celebrity Pokémon Fans' "I Choose You" #9: Trendy Angel

To be perfectly frank, Yukinooh is weak. Thanks to all its weaknesses, it gets defeated really quick. But since there's lots of Pokémon weak to Ice, including lots of legendary Pokémon being Dragons, it's a Legend Killer. Those who take Yukinooh lightly get defeated by Yukinooh!! (written by Takashi)

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #9: Who did you send in a vote for?

I am at the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo
to see how the voting for the "Pokémon Elections 720" is going!
And right now I've found a young boy just about to vote!



Hi there, I am here performing an exit survey
about the "Pokémon Elections 720"!
Who did you vote for?



"For Jukain!
It's because it's really cool when Jukain mega evolves, and it makes it so strong!"

I say! This boy is really close to Jukain thanks to the bonds of Mega Evolution!
His vote was filled with love for Jukain!



I'm sure I'm his second favorite.
But you only get one vote, so that doesn't help.



You guys make sure to resist the temptation to vote multiple times at once, now.
Choose the one single candidate that's right for you and send in one single, honest vote!

Pokémon Company International has announced that the Pokémon TV app has relaunched with new features. It is available for free for Apple iOS, Android and Kindle Fire users.

Press Release - Pokémon TV application relaunches with brand-new on-the-go features

Download functionality and notifications ensure that fans never miss their favourite movies, episodes, and special animated features Pokémon TV, available for download at no cost on iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire and Android devices, relaunches today with all-new features. The app includes up to 60 episodes of Pokémon animation available to stream, updated weekly, and regular showings of feature-length Pokémon movies. Plus, anyone using the application will now also be able to download one episode or movie to enjoy offline when network access is not available.

Content currently available includes episodes from the first season, Pokémon: Indigo League, through to the latest, Pokémon the Series: XY.

The update includes a revised range of features, including:

• My Channel: When fans start watching a video, it is automatically saved to their channel, making it easy to resume viewing. Recently completed videos will also stay in their channel, and another episode will play automatically at the conclusion of the previous one.
• Downloadable Content: Fans without network access can still enjoy their favourite Pokémon content. With the updated app, viewers can mark one episode or movie for offline viewing at their convenience. The video will be stored on their device for one week before it is automatically removed.
• Rate Videos: With this fun feature, Pokémon fans can rate each video after they’ve finished watching it. Their score will then contribute to an average rating for that video.
• Push Notifications: Viewers can now find out when new movies and episodes have been added to the Pokémon TV app with convenient push notifications.

This latest update is part of the ongoing programme of multi-channel animation screenings running throughout 2016. Right now, Pokémon the Movie 2000, featuring the iconic Legendary Pokémon Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, is currently available on Pokémon TV, with much more animation content to come throughout the year.

I've been a fan of Flygon ever since I first saw it in the Jirachi movie.

The official Pokémon movie website has updated with presentations of the movie's cast and a profile on YUKI. Translations of the new entry follows:

Cast list

Theme Song

YUKI (Epic Records Japan) "Throw Your Voice in the Mailbox"

Profile: YUKI started her solo career in 2002 with the single "the end of shite". With her radical sound and visuals, she established a completely unique image. The concert she held at the Tokyo Dome to commemorate her 10 year long solo career gave her the record of being the first ever female vocalist to perform in the Tokyo Dome as both a solo artist and as part of a band, and drew an audience of about 50000 people. In September 2014, she released her 7th original album, "FLY". In November 2015, she released her most recent single, "tonight" (which acted as the theme song for the movie "Grasshopper") Her distinct singing voice, expressiveness and presence has attracted lots of attention from all kinds of fields, and her future music, concerts and artwork are all things worth keeping an eye on.
