This is not entirely accurate. Based on my reading of the original statement on the official Pokémon website, you must hold a My Number Card which is available to residents as well, not exclusively citizens.
Bad news for Pokemon TCG players outside of Japan; you’ll need to be a Japanese citizen in order to buy certain decks and expansion packs from its official online store. bit.ly/4xvlhox

I was recently invited to participate in a roundtable at the Palace of Westminster during Westminster Games Week. I met with civil servants, Members of Parliament, and Peers to advocate for independent developers, studio continuity, and educational support. Let's back the next generation together!

What is the world of Pokémon?
It begins with people whose passion and dreams bring the games to life, and through those experiences, we connect, build friendships, and share moments that stay with us forever.
Thank you to The Pokémon Company International for inviting me to Pokémon Day in London.

No sojourn to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Of course, I was accompanied by Eternal Flower Floette as we explored the inspiration of Lumiose City and Prism Tower.

I encountered the mythical @ashens.bsky.social native to Poundland. I have long respected his comprehensive knowledge of British computer history and vast experience of terrible old games you've probably never heard of, which helped form the foundation of my interest in video game development.

Whilst visiting the Palace of Westminster in London, I am reminded of a sonnet written by William Wordsworth titled "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802." In Pokémon Sword and Shield, this location also serves as the inspiration for Rose of the Rondelands in Wyndon, Galar.

Ahead of my adventure across Europe, I was lucky enough to stay in one of the Vocaloid collaboration rooms at Haneda Airport, specifically featuring MEIKO as a pâtissière.
ヨーロッパでの冒険に先立ち、幸運にも羽田空港のボーカロイドコラボルームに宿泊することができました。この部屋はメイコがパティシエとして登場していました。素晴らしいですよね！

Applying generative AI to adjust genuine artifacts with pejorative alterations is an unethical distortion of history. As John Adams wrote to John Trumbull, "Truth, Nature, Fact, should be your sole guide. Let not our Posterity be deluded by fictions under pretence of poetical or graphical Licenses."
