In my PokémonGO adventures, I come across the oddest events. This is my first field report to Professor Willow, as I observe a mismatched Pokémon pair who prove kindness warms the coldest Winter!
I am so, so glad that you finally get to read this book. We put all the heart into it that we possibly could and I hope that comes through. If you’ll be at the NYC or SDCC book shows, I’ll see you soon–!
Thank you so much to everyone who’s been excited about this and talking it up, it means the world to us!
what did we do to deserve animal crossing. like how did nintendo know it was always a dream of mine to live in a cute pink house and befriend talking deer and hamsters
fun fact animal crossing was developed with themes of moving from loneliness towards community and building friendships because the creator, katsuya eguchi, felt that same sort of isolation when he moved from chiba to kyoto and realized how much he missed that connection between himself and his friends and family
this is such a good addition i never knew about thank you!
So a frog goes in for a loan. He hops up to the desk of Patricia Whack, one of the bank employees, and says, “I want to borrow $500,000.” Patricia says, “Well that’s a lot.” Frog says, “It’s okay, my dad’s Mick Jagger.” “That’s nice,” Patricia answers, “but if you want to borrow that much, the bank needs some kind of collateral.” So the frog takes a ceramic pig out of its little bag and sets it on Patricia’s desk (he looks very smug at this point). He says, “I think this ought to take care of that.” “Uh, let me check with my boss.” So Patricia takes the ceramic pig and goes back to her boss’s office and explains the situation. “And what the hell even is this?” she concludes, pointing to the ceramic pig.
Her boss says, “It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
