Man! This brings back memories of hunting for variant Skylanders. For Swap Force though, most of the variants for the characters are in their alternate forms, not as actual characters.
Some of the series like the Nitro series are much easier to identify because of their unique design. The Kickoff Countdown Legendary is extremely rare and is very hard to find in stock. Also, the LightCore figures for the swappable characters are extremely rare as well, but the released figures are very inconsistent so you never know.
But generally I don’t get hung up over the rarity of figures, lots of the Swap Force common ones are wonderful, play well and are loads of fun to use, so in the end the collector value of rare figures is just a bonus if you can find them.

The following are Mythical Pokémon, presented in films: Meloetta in ‘Pokémon: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice’, Marshadow in ‘Pokémon: I Choose You!’, Genesect in ‘Mewtwo Awakens’.
These Pokémon are scarce in the films not because of their stats but because of their emotional weight. The melodies that Meloetta sings in Pokémon: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice are a secret that the audience gets to hear. Every moment of Marshadow in Pokémon: I Choose You! is fleeting but leaves a lasting impression.

To complete the Pokédex for Omega Ruby I viewed completing the Pokédex as a treasure hunt. The first step was to use the DexNav to chain Pokémon to find their hidden abilities. Version exclusives like Mawile were a challenge to obtain but the occasional good find through Wonder Trade made it worth while. After completing the games story I returned to Mirage Islands daily as they changed daily and had random high stats Pokémon including Kecleon.
Finishing off the remaining entries in my Pokédex were Rayquaza and Deoxys (which required completing Delta Episode and the story for each). For my remaining Myths and Legends I sought out online events and giveaways. Many fan-run forums still list codes given out for these Pokémon, making it very easy to pick up rare Pokémon. My final Pokémon for completing my Pokédex was a traded Feebas, which I had evolved into Millbas with a Prism Scale. That was a really satisfying moment of pure serotonin.

A search for rare books online can take a lot of time, especially if you know where to look. So I thought it would be a good idea to list some of the search spots I use regularly. There’s Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive, which offer lots of free rare books. The Open Library allows you to borrow rare books online in the form of e-books. Digitized versions of rare books from university libraries like the Harvard University Library Digital Collections can also be accessed online for free. In addition, there are many online forums like the community of the rare books forum on Reddit (r/rarebooks), where one can find tips and links to search spots.

Jirachi's lore in the Pokémon universe always fascinated me—especially that whole 'eye-opening' mechanic. From what I've gathered through battles and lore deep dives, when Jirachi's third eye is open during its awake phase (which only happens every thousand years!), its psychic abilities go into overdrive. It's like flipping a switch from 'sleepy guardian' to 'reality-warping wish granter.' The Pokédex entries hint at this too, with mentions of it gaining the power to 'make any wish come true' in that state.
But here's the thing: in actual gameplay, even with its eye open, Jirachi isn't an unbeatable god-tier Pokémon. It's got solid stats, especially in Special Attack, and that Steel/Psychic typing is chef's kiss for resistances. Yet, it's not as overwhelmingly dominant as, say, Mega Rayquaza. The power feels more thematic—like a storytelling device rather than a battle mechanic. Still, using 'Doom Desire' while roleplaying its awakened form? Pure serotonin.

Joining specific Discord servers for genres or authors of interest can also be really useful. I know of servers for classic sci-fi, for horror, and for academic philosophy. People share links and discuss different editions of a book in dedicated channels. As people are actively searching for the same thing, it can become a collaborative hunt in real time. Someone posts that they are searching for the original magazine version of a particular story and within minutes there are links to scans provided by several members. Not only does joining these communities make the hunt less lonely, but also you can find out about books of interest that you would have otherwise never known about from other people with immense knowledge on the subject.

Who wants to make Pikachu cakes for a bakery? I guess that’s a bit too similar to Pokémon for comfort. Sure, you can find fonts that resemble the Pokémon fonts (like DotGothic16 for example) but most of these are not available for commercial use. Others try to mimic the feel of Pokémon font by making the characters bold and using lots of colors, like with Comic Sans (yes, I said that). The point is to try to make something that resembles Pokémon, not to duplicate it exactly. Nintendo is very strict with regards to Pokémon stuff and is not afraid to take action. In fact, they recently shut down a fan made game that was in the making for years. So, if you want to make something with regards to Pokémon, just try to be creative and don’t imitate. That little yellow mouse deserves more than that.

“Rarity” is a word that must be used with caution. Although millions of Children’s Books were printed, finding them in collectible condition is another matter altogether. The cheap leather used in their covers tends to dry out, crack and change color with age. Bright gilt titling and supple bindings are not typically found on worn books. But the cheap leather-covered Children’s Books have a kind of charm and are highly collectible, not least because of their nostalgic appeal and the fact that they look like a miniature library. They are indeed forerunners of those special edition books published in fancy cardboard boxes. For serious collectors, the first edition published by the original publisher, publications with short print runs, and those with unusual advertising inserts included are of most interest. Conditionally collectible with charming obscurity is perhaps the best way to describe these much-loved books.

I read Webtoon on their app, which is really designed for vertical scroll comics that are usually all full color. Lezhin on the other hand hosts more traditional page formatted comics like ‘Jinx’ and their app is optimized for that kind of artwork and panel flow. Trying to read a page based manhwa on an app designed for vertical scroll comics is really a clunky experience and a bad legal reading experience. The Lezhin app is the right tool for ‘Jinx’ as it makes your reading experience much more comfortable.
Reading a page-based manhwa on an app geared for vertical scroll comics can be very frustrating. Accessing legal content is one thing, but having a quality reading experience is another. Lezhin’s app is specifically geared towards content such as ‘Jinx’ (a page-based manhwa in full color) and thus offers the best reading experience for its artwork and panel layout.

If you mean the "lightsaber" censorship, that’s pretty normal for KBL. The official Lezhin US web version is uncensored, though. I haven’t personally seen an R15 version of Jinx, and honestly they’d have to cut or blur a lot to make one.
