Pokémon Treasure Box Clues
This chapter (25) is the longest of Part Two. It is 9 pages long with a chapter face page showing two rare Pokémon Cards – instead of the puzzle box like the other 3 smaller box chapters show.
- The chapter begins recounting a family trip JCB took when he was 5 and a half years old
- JCB says he hid the treasure box ‘not far’ from somewhere he visited along that trip
- Further clues include a fictional story about various Pokémon and how they helped JCB hide the box
- There is an overexposed photo at the of the chapter that may hold clues as well
The various Pokémon mentioned in the story are believed to hold clues – possibly relating to the location of the box. For instance, in the story, JCB thought he heard a ‘Mabosstiff’ – a dog type Pokémon. But it was mentioned that would be unlikely and pointed to a sign. For this reason, it is thought a ‘no dogs allowed’ sign is at the trailhead of the location of the box.
The story goes on to mention other Pokémon and events. (More on the Pokémon Mentioned)
Pokémon Treasure Box Coin
One of the treasures inside the Pokémon box is a commemorative coin for its box. Each of the smaller treasure boxes are to have them. These coins were produced by Seth Gould, who also produced the treasure puzzle boxes. Although an image of each treasure box coin is shown in its respective chapter – it is unclear if they are clues.
