This is not entirely accurate. Based on my reading of the original statement on the official Pokémon website, you must hold a My Number Card which is available to residents as well, not exclusively citizens.

I was recently invited to participate in a roundtable at the Palace of Westminster during Westminster Games Week. I met with civil servants, Members of Parliament, and Peers to advocate for independent developers, studio continuity, and educational support. Let's back the next generation together! 先日、ウェストミンスター・ゲームズ・ウィークの一環として、ウェストミンスター宮殿で開催されたラウンドテーブルに参加する機会をいただきました。政府職員、国会議員、貴族院議員の方々と意見を交わし、インディー開発者への支援、スタジオの持続的な運営、そして教育面でのサポートの重要性を訴えました。次世代を担う人々を、皆で一緒に支えていきましょう！

What is the world of Pokémon? It begins with people whose passion and dreams bring the games to life, and through those experiences, we connect, build friendships, and share moments that stay with us forever. Thank you to The Pokémon Company International for inviting me to celebrate Pokémon Day in London.

It has been a remarkable season for Yuji Horii, from being awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, celebrating his birthday, and marking the 40th anniversary of Dragon Quest. I am honored to have been able to have dinner with everyone tonight, and recognize these amazing achievements. 堀井雄二さんにとって、この季節はまさに特別な節目となりました。旭日章のご受章、お誕生日のお祝い、そして『ドラゴンクエスト』40周年と、節目が続きました。今夜、皆さまとご一緒にお食事をご一緒し、これらの素晴らしいご功績を称える機会をいただけたことを、大変光栄に思います。

I managed to catch @thetruebowser at The Game Awards. I greatly appreciate his contributions and service to both Nintendo and the greater gaming industry during his tenure as President and COO of Nintendo of America.

Congratulations to the team at Retro Studios for the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. See you next mission!

No sojourn to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Of course, I was accompanied by Eternal Flower Floette as we explored the inspiration of Lumiose City and Prism Tower. Paris est vraiment magnifique.

I encountered the mythical @ashens native to Poundland. I have long respected his comprehensive knowledge of British computer history and vast experience of terrible old games you've probably never heard of, which helped form the foundation of my interest in game development.

Whilst visiting the Palace of Westminster in London, I am reminded of a sonnet written by William Wordsworth titled "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802." In Pokémon Sword and Shield, this location also serves as the inspiration for Rose of the Rondelands.

Ahead of my adventure in Europe, I was lucky enough to stay in one of the Vocaloid collaboration rooms at Haneda Airport, featuring MEIKO as a pâtissière. ヨーロッパでの冒険に先立ち、幸運にも羽田空港のボーカロイドコラボルームに宿泊することができました。この部屋はメイコがパティシエとして登場していました。

Today I was joined by Kirby series director Kumazaki-san and producer Kamitake-san for the Uematsu con TIKI concert in Yokohama. Many thanks to @UematsuNobuo, @conTIKI_sisters, @nubiahistoria, and everyone for the wonderful experience. I look forward to attending again soon! 本日は横浜で開催された「植松伸夫 con TIKI」に、カービィシリーズのディレクターである熊崎さんとプロデューサーの上武さんにご一緒させていただきました。植松さん、コンチキシスターズ、ヌビアさん、そして皆さん、素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。また近いうちに参加できるのを楽しみにしています！

I recently designed #EGLFashion inspired by The Legend of Zelda. These are all concepts and do not represent official works. Designs include Ballad of the Wind Fish, Agitha's Castle, and Zelda's Lullaby. Thanks to @Neskybo for illustrating these gorgeous dresses.

Unrelated to work, I spent the day at HAL Laboratory. Thank you for the invitation Kumazaki-san! Happy HAL-loween! 仕事とは関係ないのですが、ハル研究所で一日過ごしました。熊崎さん、お誘いありがとうございます！ハッピー「ハル」ウィン！
