UK StreetPass group, StreetPass Banbury, are using their next gathering, and an online raffle, to raise money for Special Effect. The online raffle involves a cushion signed by Ash's VA from the Pokémon TV series, and it's only £5 a ticket!
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
That's pretty nice for (possibly) £5 and it's good to see that they are doing free delivery if the winner is in the UK.

SpecialEffect sounds pretty awesome too. They develop wide range of different control systems for people with disabilities. Looks like it has contributed to a lot of inclusion and happiness in a lot of lives. I had a look at their website and it's pretty heart warming:

I think I'll head over as it's in my local area. Anyone in the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire or south Warwickshire area might want to have a look at the event page that StreetPass Banbury created. It looks like there will be plenty of stuff going on and tons more prizes from a completely different raffle.
