Last year there was an official announcement that a writer for a famous horror manga (something about spirals) was going to be writing up Pokemon stories for Halloween this year. I know we had a thread for it, but I can't seem to find it.
Does anybody know if it's still happening? It sounded pretty interesting.
Here's the
Kowapoke thread created from a while back, for reference.
"Kowapoke" was a collaboration of The Pokémon Company with the manga artist Junji Ito to get into the Halloween spirit for Pokémon last year (2014). I don't know if there will be another collaboration this year, but the site from 2014 is still around.
The Kowapoke website's in Japanese (
here's a link to it), so I couldn't read any of the text, but there was enough imagery for me to be interested in looking around the site. The site contains various ghostly content, from artwork by Ito to 4-komas featuring Ghost-type Pokémon to various descriptions of Ghost Pokémon and other ominous phenomena known across the Pokémon games and the anime, some of which have seen discussion in Mysteries and Conspiracies thread.
