I spotted a bunch of Pokemon hanging out at Giant today.
Cute Pikachu, rather nice Squirtle. And after searching for pictures of Diglett and Weedle online, I've decided that the ones sharing a home with Pikachu and Squirtle must be Diglett. With the ground attached... whoever thought of doing that kind of thing?!
Cute Charmander, though it looks like there's no fire tail (I forgot to check for it when I was there). Cute Marill. (Edit: while reviewing this post, I just noticed that this box has Psyduck and even a Clefairy! I probably didn't pay much attention to them earlier because I'm not such a fan of theirs. But they actually look good...the Psyduck here is the correct colour; it's not supposed to be orange like the one in the other box)
Nice Lapras, Poliwhirl and Gengar (and is that pink thing behind Gengar a Pokemon?).
Bulbasaur looks a bit weird, but Jigglypuff looks nice. Jolteon and Snorlax were a bit hard to see, but looked okay...
And they even have Vaporeon (I don't think I've seen a plush Vaporeon before) and Psyduck! (in this box the Pokemon were a bit smaller)
The Pokemon are all are in those claw machines (the ones where you move the claw to catch a toy). Just before the last cube of Pokemon, there was this machine:
On the top racks, there are phone boxes. They precised on the machine that those are empty boxes... to prevent break-ins. The prizes need to be claimed elsewhere (probably the shop opposite the machines). Then at the bottom we have smaller Pokemon squeezed in... but they don't look so nice.
I have never seen this kind of machine before... so I took a look to see how it is played. The game is actually to move the stick left and right, then up... and then release a button or something to make it move forward and hit your prize out. The pink-edged rows are where the stick is supposed to move in and hit your prize.
