LINE Pokémon Stickers: Pokémon Daily Greetings

It has apparently been a real long time since the last pack of Pokémon stickers appeared on the social media platform of LINE. That pack of stickers, which is the "24/7 Pokémon" pack, appeared in 2019, just before the world turned sour (and I had only gotten a year later). After that, it seemed that Pokémon was going to be absent from LINE stickers. Just last year, though, a new Pokémon sticker pack appeared, disproving the absence, and I got it just recently as well, ready to review it as I do so.

The new pack is called Pokémon Daily Greetings, and it is a regular, non-animated sticker pack composed of 40 stickers. True to its name, many of the stickers contain verbal expressions used to indicate delight, appreciation, and others used to start or respond to certain conversations. Along with those verbal expressions, there are images of various Pokémon that are drawn in pastel/crayon style, adding a certain cutesy flair to the stickers and the expressions contained therein.

Along with this sticker pack being the first after a long time, there is another notable first: eighth-generation Pokémon species appear in this pack, with Scorbunny and Yamper leading the way, each of them appearing in a sticker. Meanwhile, Pikachu and its species family continue to be a major feature, appearing in many of the stickers, while Eevee is a minor feature, and the rest are composed of various Pokémon across generations. It's a nice composition of stickers for just about anyone.

Certainly, I have my favorite picks from this sticker pack as well. I love the "You got this!" sticker that features Pikachu and Scorbunny for its energetic style, the "Congrats" sticker that features both forms of Vulpix (Kanto and Alolan) in their togetherness, and the "Hello!" sticker that features Mew with its giddiness. All three above may also be considered to be representative of what this sticker pack is about: greetings that may be used day in and day out for various purposes.

Like the long absence between the LINE Pokémon sticker packs, I've also been absent from much messaging on the social media platform, though I keep it for certain necessary purposes. The usage of Pokémon stickers is part of those necessary purposes, and this latest sticker pack may just serve well for them, as it fulfills the usage of greetings that may nonetheless be required as people greet other people. Combined with Pokémon, that may make an interesting prospect for further messaging.
