A friend of mine was trying to help me find a stupid little Pokemon toy for my little cousin's birthday in a week... His parents are giving him a road trip to Disneyland for his birthday (and he was allowed to invite his friends if he wanted) and all of us decided that everyone would take a trip to my house for the party.
While searching for an appropriate present, my friend happened to come across the Unova Pokedex toy.
This is the worst Pokedex toy I have ever seen. Unova has 150 or so new Pokemon, but the Pokedex toy itself has "All 45 Pokemon" on it, according to the online shop it was found on. ALL 45?! I'm not even a fangirl of Pokemon and this enrages me to the point of near-blindness! I can't believe this is even an officially licensed product.
It's outrageous to do something like that. I couldn't ever get this for my little cousin. He actually owns Pokemon White. He would literally shit himself over this because I don't think he has any idea there are real Pokedex toys past the first generation. This toy, however, would possibly cause them to kill the entirety of an endangered species with their bare hands.
My little cousin is a Pokemaniac, technically. He has a lot of the Pokemon stuff that I didn't even know existed. He even owns three separate Pokemon Trading Card decks and knows how to play the game. I remember his mother telling me that he's even been to a rookie tournament and won a battle or two. Last I heard, he was trying to figure out how friendship values worked so he could evolve a Togepi or something.
If he knew there were only 45 Pokemon on this new Pokedex (but didn't receive it, of course), he would probably send a carefully worded letter to Nintendo telling them to discontinue the product because fancy features doesn't make a Pokedex that's missing 105+ Pokemon entries a Pokedex worth having. I know he's sent Nintendo letters before, asking if the damage values on some attacks on the trading cards were meant to be different than the damage values in the actual game boy games or whatever.
His mother told me to get him something good, as he used to tear up cards he didn't need until he understood that he could potentially sell those cards later and get actual money. If I'm not careful and I get him this toy, I could envoke the wrath of Thor or something.
Fuck that toy. That's bullshit. My little cousin would probably agree.
...well this is great...now I have to go alert the other people going to his party that this Unova Pokedex would NOT be a good toy to get him because it's utter crap he wouldn't touch.
TL;DR Unova Pokedex toy is so bad that suicide wouldn't be a harsh enough punishment for knowing it exists.
