Are you a Pokémon Scarlet player who’s been itching to add Miraidon to your game? Or maybe you’re a Pokémon Violet player whose Pokédex is seriously lacking a Koraidon entry. Well, you’re in luck! Soon, you’ll be able to get Shiny Koraidon or Shiny Miraidon for the first time by visiting GameStop in the United States or EB Games in Canada, Australia, or New Zealand and picking up a special code card between September 26, 2025, and October 15, 2025.

The code will let you receive Shiny Koraidon in Pokémon Violet or Shiny Miraidon in Pokémon Scarlet, but only one of these two Pokémon can be received per code. Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon are cool enough, but don’t forget that these two powerful Pokémon are often used in both competitive battles and Tera Raid Battles, so you won’t want to miss adding them to your team.

Remember all the personal sites in HTML people used to have on places like geocities or neocities? There's a bit of an online movement to go back to that kind of site instead of everything being on some big centrally-owned website.

Neoskitties is that, in the style of r/pokemedia: posting what people would have on their equivalent to neocities in the Pokémon universe. Figured Pokémon Lemmy might appreciate.

Hey, Lemmy!

I’m a somewhat experienced TTRPG designer and my latest project is an RPG based on the first generation of Pokémon games.

You can download the complete game for free here:

https://heavenlyspoon.org/pocket-monster-adventures/

My focus was on ease-of-play and simple prep. Many of the other Pokémon RPGs out there seemed to involve a lot of overhead—especially for the GM. I prefer a more improv-heavy game, and having to do a lot of prep makes that basically impossible. 

Sticking to gen 1 made it so I could keep the scope small enough to allow for simple encounter tables, pre-prepared Pokémon sheets for every Pokémon, and a simple set-up for every Pokémon controlled by the GM.

The game is designed to be played with one GM and two or three players, and every aspect of the original games has been changed where needed to accommodate this.

I don't know how much interest there is for this kind of thing, but hopefully at least someone will get some joy out of it!
