We are currently putting together several features at Johto Times to mark thirty years of Pokémon, and one of these will be focused on tributes from Pokémon fans. For this feature, we are requesting Johto Times readers to pay tribute to thirty years of Pokémon, and attempt to express what Pokémon means to them, in just thirty words!

In addition to this, we are also open to receiving art tributes to mark the anniversary celebrations! These can be shared here, or submitted via email (johtotimesmail@gmail.com)

We will include as many of them as we can in an upcoming feature!

The conditions:

Please share your tribute in the comments below in EXACTLY THIRTY WORDS
Your forum username will be used, or if you prefer to be credited under a different name, please confirm that with your tribute
We are requesting that all tributes be made by ~~January 31st, 2026 at 23:00 GMT~~ (extended to February 14th, 2025)
Your words or art must be your own, and we reserve the right to remove it if we suspect it was generated using AI tools
For those without a forum profile, or are having trouble posting, you may also share your tribute via email (johtotimesmail@gmail.com)

Please keep your eyes on this forum thread for updates. I look forward to reading your tributes!
