B/W launch and signing...with Ken Sugimori and Junichi Masuda!!
So now it's official April (since it's my birthday tomorrow ^_^ edit:just realised that it seems to be US time or something...my bday is tuesday) and I thought I still need to share my love for March 2011. So, the beginning of the month (well the 4th) marked the release of Pokémon Black and White. They were great but weren't without some faults. Love some of the new Pokémon. But before the release I found out about the launch at Oxford Street, GAME! Now this wasn't just any ordinary launch because KEN SUGIMORI and JUNICHI MASUDA were going to be there. They are the character designer and composer respectively for Game Freak! Without these guys, my childhood would not have been half as good as it was!!! They were autographing stuff so I basically took EVERYTHING signable that I owned and see what I could get signed. >.<
I went with my good friend Karamjeet (Chibimajito-san) and met her good friend Carol (RoarkieBear@dA). And we were queueing. Further up the queue I saw a girl I recognised...and it happened to be Nikki (Kidura@dA). I was like O_o OMG!! It was strange to see her because I hadn't seen her in 2/3 YEARS!! Since the Darkrai event @ Woolworths 2009 (poor woolworths T_T).
I got retro stuff signed such as my Mewtwo vs. Mew behind the scenes tape and a poster I got years ago in a Pikachu mini-filofax. Also, got a Dark Lugia Poster signed. Ken Sugimori was awesome because he drew a mini ash picture when he signed the filofax pic...with chicken neck and all!! I could have opened my Dark Lugia poster and he would've drawn Lugia...but it was massive...oh well. I also practiced playing Lugia's song on my iPhone Ocarina and played it for Masuda. He was very happy, which made me very very giddy. The whole time I was jumping and giddy and excited and agdwjhqdwg *crazy*!! I also gave the both a present in form of an Ancient Mew card!! The whole day just left me in awe and...absolutely...speechless. Even to date, I can't describe how I felt that day. Still feels surreal that I actually met them!!!
ALL IN ALL A GREAT START TO THE MONTH!! I will NEVER EVER forget this day...even if I get run over by a bus and get amnesia (knock on wood D= )
