TIME Pokemon

Got this mostly for decoration purposes but the pages are thick and sturdy, its a great read as well!

Crazy to think it’s been 25 years since I first played Pokemon Red on the original Gameboy! That’s where my love of this franchise started and the rest was history. From watching Ash Ketchum and Pikachu’s adventures in the Kanto region on the WB Kids channel all the way to playing Pokemon Scarlet in the modern era. This Pokemon edition TIME magazine really offers a great retrospective on the franchises roots, and covers pretty much how much of an impact this series has made here in the US. It goes over the games, the animated series, cards, various merchandises you name it. I just wish it would’ve gone more in depth into some of the game developers thought processes with a more “behind the scenes” take but that’s just me. Reading through this really puts into perspective just how much Pokemon has influenced not only gaming but pop culture as well. This series has always been near and dear to me and it’s what started my love for the RPG genre. If you are a fan of the series in any way, this is a must buy. I wish I had gotten the Charmander variant, but I’ll take Pikachu given since he’s the most iconic Pokemon! Great book!

Ordered this assuming it was like the ones found in store to go with all of the other covers. Arrived with a glossy shiny cover (other ones are matte) and there is no UPC code on the front (like the other ones). It’s also about half an inch thicker than the other ones for whatever reason. Don’t want to claim it’s a fake repro, but definitely what it seems like.

The media could not be loaded. Great magazine to read all things pokemon! Collector item as well.

Second Printing without the Bar Code, which makes them great for display.Came sealed in plastic, and the condition was good.

Was hesitant to purchase online because it was for a collector and didn’t want to risk it coming damaged/bent. Shipping was great and no issues! Worth the buy if you can’t find it in your local stores!

This is a cheap knockoff reproduction, not the actual product.

People of amazon clearly do not read product descriptions. The product actually says " Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by the Dotdash Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon, and this product only includes the Pikachu cover." quite interesting people do not read descriptions of a product before buying. So in reality it is not a "real" copy of the Pikachu cover, but in reality it is an authorized reprint. Its a phenomenal copy for latrine reading or just a quick magazine to read on the coffee table.

This looked so good despite being shipped in a bag. Kudos to the company for shipping it securely.

Uno de mis pokemones favoritos. Portada con bonito arte y decorativo

Cheap reprint of the Pokemon time magazine. Paper is of bad quality and print images are blurry

As a long time pokemon fan I knew I had to purchase this. The magazine has a bunch of cool articles and I’ve read it twice now.It’s great for a super fan or a casual fan, I think anyone would enjoy it
