Title: Pokémon/Pikachu VCR
Post by: ferraroso on May 14, 2018, 09:29:18 am
Hey guys.

As always, I hope everyone is doing great!

I recently found this Pikachu Video Cassette Recorder in great condition close to my place:

I tried finding another VCR in the database, but I couldn't find any, so do you guys have any ideas of where should I register it?

I appreciate the help.

Is it an "Other" ? I wonder if Other is supposed to be a video game category... but there are gamebit screwdrivers in there so...
Otherwise it would be a type of swag, but there really isn't a place.

We can't consider a VCR to be a game console, despite a VCR is required to play the Wheel of Fortune board game, Action Max or Captain Power games.

Huh, yeah, I wouldn't know where to put it. If "other" is used more for actual gaming things, maybe Swag - Novelties might be the best for this item?

Does it have any gaming function on it? Like a mini-game? Or just strictly a regular VCR?

Well, if not even the administrators are sure about where should this item fit, I feel better for being unconfident on how I should register a "video game-themed VCR".
I really appreciate all the help!

Since it is simply a VCR (a very crappy one actually, haha) with no minigames or anything on it, I was thinking that maybe it could fit into the "Swag - Toys/Novelties" category.
What do you guys think?

lol there almost needs to be a specific swag category just for all the random pokemon themed items that exist.
