New Pokemon Rumour & Mew Code

Morning folks,

So tomorrow is the 20^th anniversary for Pokemon and I feel very old when I say that. Cannot believe it was that long ago, I remember watching the show before it became popular and the games hit the store. I remember importing most of the Pokemon games so I could get them months in advance. Trying to find Mew under the lorry in Pokemon Red, the Pikablu rumour and so much more.

To celebrate the anniversary there is a lot happening tomorrow, twitch streams and new products throughout. Several stores across multiple countries are giving out codes for Mew in Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS. The biggest thing is that Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow will be on the 3DS virtual console tomorrow to download. Really cannot wait to replay them but I’m still stuck on which one to get though. Thinking Red at the moment since that was the very first Pokemon game I ever bought. 

Anyway the main for this post is the lastest announcement and rumour that happened last night.

So Nintendo have confirmed that today at 3pm GMT there will be a Nintendo Direct for five minutes concerning Pokemon. I’ve been thinking for a while it would be the announcement of the next generation of games since the latest movie has a new Pokemon not part of this generations list. 

Well yesterday a lot of domain names got registered by Nintendo for Pokemon Sun & Moon. Plus, we have logos trade marked as well, fingers crossed we going to see a new game announcement this afternoon. If this is a hoax then its a really good one because those logos look amazing.

 

I will be doing another blog post later this afternoon with the outcome of the Nintendo Direct. But for now here is a Mew Picross code for Europe thanks to the Nintendo Europe twitter account. Also here is the link for the Direct later on.

Loot Crate February 2016 "Dead"

Evening folks,

Mystery boxes have been around now for a while and it’s something I keep hearing about but never really paid that much attention too. Well until now that is, I don’t know what made me do it but I sat down and watched a few unboxing videos on YouTube a couple of weeks back and got hooked. I know it’s a mystery and it can be a hit & miss with the boxes but the last few months’ boxes had stuff I really would had loved to get. 

So I took the plunge and signed up for a few different subscriptions, thought if I sample a few and see what I get then I can decide on which to stick with. I’ve gone with 1UP, Loot Crate Standard & Level Up plus the Marvel Corp Box.

If you don’t know what a mystery box is then basically it’s a monthly box of random items based around a certain theme. Most of the boxes out there are geeky but they can cover everything from geeky, reading, gaming and even pets. Items in the box can be anything from mugs, t-shirts, books, pop funks etc. Loot Crate is one of the most famous ones out there and would be the best to place to see what this is all about.

Anyway back to the post, so my first two boxes have arrived and I will be covering the second one later but for now I want to talk about today’s box that arrived. 

The standard Loot Crate arrived this morning and to be honest I was slightly worried I might not like this one. The theme was based on the “Dead” so we talking no doubt about zombies etc. but they did hint that Deadpool and The Walking Dead will have something to do with the box. I’ve never watched the Walking Dead but I do love Deadpool so my fingers have been crossed for the last few weeks that his box would turn out ok.

Well I was not let down as you can see from the pictures! Straight away Deadpool items seem to be the main thing in the box. Cannot describe how happy I was to see that.

 

So the main two big items are the Tacos T-shirt and the QFig for me and the box has paid for itself and then some. I love the design on the t-shirt and I’ve been looking for a good Deadpool t-shirt the last few days so it’s just perfect.

The figurine I need to find a home for and I’m thinking next to my TV along with my Pipboy and Pagan Min bobbleheads. Cannot help but chuckle at it thinking that he’s been playing with his C4 chair again or something. Also in the box was a Walking Dead soap on a rope which is a bit creepy but I’m guessing if you were a fan of the show you would get the reference. Should be interesting seeing my family using that to clean with. Final item was a construction toy figurine based on one of the cast in the show. Again not being a fan of the show it did not appeal to me but I’m guessing fans will like it.

So that’s it for this box, well there was the theme pin as well that’s nice little collectable which will be going on my wall with my other pin badges. Anyway I’m really happy with the box and give it a solid 9 out of 10. The t-shirt and figurine really sold it to me and I will be keeping this subscription.

I will try and get the next unboxing post up in the next few days. Hope you like this different post today and don’t forget to leave a comment.
See you soon folks,
Iznic
