Magnolia City Pokémon Gym

Catch 'em all at your library!

Two of ALA's divisions—the American Association of School Librarians and ALSC - The Association for Library Service to Children—have partnered with The Pokémon Company International to provide their members in the United States, Canada, or U.S. military schools with kits filled with activities, prizes, and resources to run Pokémon Clubs for their communities at their school and public libraries.

Designed for children ages 5–14, Pokémon Club is a structured program within the Play! Pokémon ecosystem where club members can learn, play, and connect through the Pokémon Trading Card Game and other activities designed for their age range.

SCHEDULING UPDATE FOR MAGNOLIA CITY POKÉMON GYM

Hello everybody! We got a schedule update coming later this year!

Starting in June:

• From:

1st and 3rd Saturday of every month

• To:

2nd and 3rd Saturday of every month

We are hoping this change will allow Professor Felix to be there more regulary as he has been absent for many of the 1st Saturdays due to side events. We will be meeting still the 1st and 3rd until then, so there is no change until June.

Any questions, feel free to reach out!

Our Pokémon partner at Aegis CC is hosting an Open Play/Casual Tournament for free tomorrow at 7pm!

If any Pokémon Fan is looking for a place to play!

This last weekend, the Pokémon Company went to the AASL Conference to showcase the Pokémon Club kit contents and demos of a few of its activities!

If you know of a librarian that staffs at a Public or School Library that has ALA+AASL membership, they can apply to become a Pokémon Club! And best of all: the Pokémon Club resources will be free!

They can reach out through the following link to find the application:

www.ala.org/pokemon

(They will need to log in before starting the application)

It was a blast hanging out with fellow Librarian and Educator Professors in showcasing this initiative for children!

Thank all that passed by yesterday! We had children draw their favorite Pokémon in preparation for Halloween and the artworks were amazing! Thank you too all the Pokémon Professors that passed by!

See you all in November!

Hello everybody!

This Saturday, October 18, we will be meeting at the Tomball Community Library and we will have a special treat with Halloween on the horizon... 🎃

With Halloween approaching, we will be giving out a few extra goodies!

• If you check-in with a Player ID: you will get a Prize Pack!

• If you bring a Drawing of your favorite Ghost-Type Pokémon: you will get a Trick-or-Trade Booster Pack!

BONUS: if you check-in with an ID AND bring a drawing of your favorite Ghost-type Pokémon: you will get a Spiritomb Promo card!

Looking forward to what you all will bring!

Next Month, we will be bringing a couple of additional mini-games you can play with your own cards: Pokémon Raid and Pokémon Shuffle! We'll announce the rules of those games later in the month with paeticipation prizing.😃

Hello everybody!

As mentioned before, the Aegis Pokémon Gym has been created!

The Aegis Pokémon Gym will be the page to follow for future tournaments and updates involving events at Aegis Creative Company ! To keep up with events at Aegis and a more competitive environment, do follow that group.

This page will now be focused on the Club/League at the Tomball Community Library which will focus on a pure-casual environments for parents, children and new striving Pokémon fans, so we will not be posting future tournaments on this page unless we will hold a fun-format event.

Any questions, feel free to reach out any time!

Thanks to everyone that made it in! We had a whopping 21 players for a Legaue Challenge!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO AWARD PRIZE PACKS TO TOP 4 as I originally had posted on our event page. As such, I have set aside the following to each age division:

1st Place: 4 Prize Packs
2nd Place: 3 Prize Packs
3-4th Place: 2 Prize Pack
5th-13th Place: 1 Prize Pack

Whenever you pass by the Library or another event, I will have them available to you.

Outside of that, thanks a ton for passing by!
