Heads up! Over the weekend, some Target stores started carrying the Pocket Pogo handhelds in their toy departments. Our readers report the inventory has been pretty hit-or-miss — some stores don’t have them at all while others have the full range of both touchscreen and regular versions. (The touchscreen versions are more in demand, by the way, because you can earn tokens and badges — both versions give you a free month of Club Pogo.) Pogo’s web site states you can purchase them offline at K-mart and Wal-mart too, but nobody’s reported being able to find them there yet. Here’s a Pogo marketing page on the handhelds.
If your local Target doesn’t have them yet, consider ordering or pre-ordering your handhelds from Entertainment Earth. (The non-touchscreen versions are available now.) They’ll be shipping shortly, though a few of the handhelds are already out of stock. My early pre-order is currently “processing”.
More information about Pocket Pogo handhelds, including a peek at the badges you can earn, can be found in the Pocket Pogo category archive.
If you have seen these at your local Target, K-mart, or Wal-mart store(s), or if you pre-ordered and received yours, please let us know! (Only comments about the availablility of Pocket Pogo handhelds will be approved.) Thanks!

I just saw these at my local Wal-mart, and of course, I was without cash! I will be headed back soon!
Penguin99994 08.04.09 at 6:02 pm
I know someone who will be going to Walmart or Target tomorrow and getting mine….ME ME ME ME!!!!!!!!
I will let ya know what i think of them prolly tomorrow night…..
Daniel 08.04.09 at 6:04 pm
I’ve been looking for them, but no luck.
I checked 4 different Target stores here in NY, and I haven’t found any of them at all! Eh, better get them on eBay, probably everyone’s best bet.

I got the Monopoly Slots and the Solitaire one this weekend. Had a hard time entering the code but got it today. The monopoly one is right in the back of the game but the other one is in the game and hard to read. Over all its not bad
Ann 08.04.09 at 8:57 pm
I got one the Solitare at Target in the Bronx. The screen is dark and is not well lit.
They had all of the games
BadgeHunter 08.04.09 at 9:02 pm
People at BadgeHunter’s have reported seeing them at Target, I have also seen them at Target here in Cleveland Ohio… I haven’t purchased any yet (Not sure if I will or not)… but yes Target is carrying them, if yours doesn’t yet be patient and maybe look around http://www.target.com to see if your closest Target is carrying them.
justaharleygirl 08.04.09 at 10:11 pm
Heads up ya’ll ~ Target has 8 of them you can order online but not get in the stores. Trying to decide which one I want … have fun! :)
justaharleygirl 08.04.09 at 10:37 pm
PS ~ Sorry, some are available in stores and some aren’t.
karen 08.05.09 at 12:17 am
So far here in New Brunswick Canada wal-mart is not offering them. We don’t have a target or K-mart. Anyone who spots them in New brunswick please let me know..dying to get them all !! lol
Terri 08.05.09 at 1:46 am
I just got the Word Whomp touch screen game at our local Super Target here in Hesperia, CA. I also wanted the Yahtzee, but they were gone.
Lura 08.05.09 at 8:41 am
I got notice yesterday that Entertainment Earth shipped mine! Squee!
Sioban 08.05.09 at 9:54 am
Does anyone know of these will be on sale in the UK? Would love to get a couple but havent seen them here as of yet. Thanks
Moni 08.05.09 at 11:01 am
Just got 1 game at my Target..$19.99..they have loads of every game. call first..lol
lilbitgrumpy2 08.05.09 at 2:16 pm
Just a request… when you post that you have/haven’t found them, please mention where you live… I have seen a few people say that they were able to find them, but they didn’t mention where they live… personally I live in Fort Worth, Texas and haven’t been able to find any yet…. good luck to all trying to find them!!!
ketzra 08.05.09 at 2:54 pm
I saw them on the shelf today for the first time at a Super Target in Knoxville, TN. The selection was limited with only Connect 4, Battleship, Solitaire, and Island Casino available in the touchscreen for $19.99 (I didn’t pay much attention to the other version for $9.99 but I did notice they had quite a few of them such as Monopoly Slots).
tcfox 08.05.09 at 4:57 pm
I was at Target in the Chicago Suburbs today & saw all of them available there. I checked out the little demos they had on each & was underwhelmed. I left empty handed. Guess I’m not that much of a badge ho…..lol
Paige 08.05.09 at 4:59 pm
I stopped by target today (Voorhees,NJ). They have the games. Mostly the regular but some touch screen toos. If I recall correctly they had word whomp, casino island, connect four and battleship in the touch screens. They were sold out of yathzee. I wanted the monopoly slots but they didn’t have it. I have 2 more targets close by. Will check those out soon.
Ban 08.05.09 at 5:33 pm
Why spend $20 bucks on these? they look like tetris handheld games.
The graphics are terrible
The extra badges look nice but look like they’ll be too big for the badge album and ruin the html even more in the albums.
These probably won’t sell much…..
Like Pogo Mobile which was 10x better than this idea
Linda 08.05.09 at 5:55 pm
To save running all over town, you can check Targets website it will tell you the availability in the stores. Walmart and Kmart are not showing them online as of yet. Save a little gas and get and extra badge or two. When Walmart does get them, you can pay online and pickup in the store.
Lura 08.05.09 at 6:23 pm
Ban: while I am still looking forward to getting mine just to have at hand when I’m bored, I agree with you. Pogo Mobile was such a better idea, and badges that actually go in the badge book? A NOVEL IDEA, I tell ya. :P
Tammie 08.05.09 at 6:45 pm
I found some at the Target store in Garland, tx. Battleship is harder than I thought to get the badges. If you get this one you can only receive the badges on the 1st game ( it contains 5 different games ). I bought the solitaire one, but if it is just as hard to get the badges, I don’t think I will waste my money on all the others.
Daniel 08.05.09 at 9:17 pm
Well I finally found them in my local Target (they restocked from the other day). I purchased the touch screen Solitare for $20 and the regular Yahtzee for $10. They are quite addicting.
Lura, regarding you mentioning Pogo Mobile, do you know why they canceled being able to get those games?
Susan 08.05.09 at 9:45 pm
lilbitgrumpy2 – The Targets in Lewisville, Carrollton and Plano have the games. I havent checked the Wal-Marts in the area. Were you looking for any specific one? I can check for you.
Surprised they havent made it to Fort Worth yet. Isnt there a distribution center close to DFW?
Therese 08.05.09 at 11:33 pm
They are available on http://www.amazon.com
bobbi 08.06.09 at 7:25 am
Walmart in South Jersey (Mays Landing) had them on display but none to sell. Walmart in Hammonton had no idea what I was talking about. Going to the Super Walmart today in Turnersville on the way to the farmers market. They usually have everything, they were the only ones in the area that had the Acer Aspire I wanted.
Paul 08.06.09 at 7:56 am
I found them, eventually in West Michigan, at one of the Target stores, but not all. Side note to those purchasing them for badges……the badges earned on the handhelds will not transfer to your main pogo account. Wish they would have advertised that ahead of time.
Tammie 08.06.09 at 9:30 am
Paul – Just wondering where you got your info about the badges? That was one of the reasons why I bought them. And is anyone else having a hard time getting them reg. I’m stuck and of course and pogo’s online support team is of little assistance.
Lura 08.06.09 at 9:43 am
Tammie: it’s pretty clear (from their size and Pogo’s marketing/pre-advertising) that “Pocket Badges” are not going to go in our regular albums. I don’t know if they will count toward our badge totals, since I haven’t gotten my handhelds yet and can’t test it.
Check out the Pocket page — if you click on one of the touchscreen titles it shows (greyed out) the three badges available in-game. I have a feeling this is the only other place they’re going to show up, besides MAYBE the spot on our profiles under badge counts.
Can someone who actually has one of the touchscreen handhelds (and has earned a badge) let us know if the Pocket badges count towards overall badge total? Are they mentioned at all on the Badge Central “My Collection” page or just on the Pocket page?
Paul 08.06.09 at 11:16 am
I can attest to the badges NOT being included in the My collection page. They only show up on the pocket pogo page that Ive seen. Not counted in totals or anything. I earned the silver badge in Word Whomp before I registered it. Resgistering wasnt too bad, it was like putting in a code for one of the downloadable pogo games only about half as long. But the badges with the handhelds do not count towards anything other than on the pocket pogo page.
Daniel 08.06.09 at 12:37 pm
Lura, regarding you asking about the badges counting towards your badge total, the answer to that is a sad no. I scored high enough in the tri-peaks mode on the touch screen Solitare for the 1st badge and it doesnt count towards the badge total. Sorry =(
~DJ91994
Lura 08.06.09 at 1:26 pm
/facepalm I should have read the fine print before asking! Hah.
I had suspected this, and I think Pogo really dropped the ball on this one. It seems like they’re trying to gain more NEW Pogo players from this instead of (also) doing something for their current loyal customers. I have a feeling that making the badges the same as regular Club Pogo badges and including them in our badge albums would not have been too difficult. The only issue is for the non-Club members who don’t get badges at all, where would their Pocket badges go? Either way, that issue is negated by the fact they get a free Club pogo trial month with each handheld. Bad marketing maneuver all-around.
Michelle 08.06.09 at 3:24 pm
I bought the casino island one today. Can’t get my code to work.grrrrrrrrr not to sure if i will purchase anymore.
Lura 08.06.09 at 3:29 pm
Michelle: I’ve heard that the codes are pretty hard to read on the touchscreen ones (on the non-touchscreen I guess the code is printed on the back of the unit, instead of being on the reportedly crappy display). Pogo’s web site has a few pictures, but I’ve heard it’s still hard to differentiate between V’s and U’s, S’s and 5′s, et cetera. Good luck!
Genevieve 08.06.09 at 3:35 pm
Hi Everyone, well I am glad I waited before I rushed out to buy one of the Pocket Pogo games. I am really disappointed to hear that Pogo is gearing more toward new members instead of including their longtime members, I am sure they could have done both. Well I guess I will be saving myself some money, now I can go buy more candles!!! Thank you again Lura for all the great information and for everyones time. Be safe
Curt 08.06.09 at 3:49 pm
Whoa, glad I forgot to stop by Target in Lansing to pick up the Word Whomp. If the badges aren’t going to be included in with our other badges, then forget it Pogo! :-p
honey 08.06.09 at 3:58 pm
I’m disappointed that the badges don’t count towards your regular album. I saw these for the first time up close today in Target. I agree with Ban on this. I played the $10 Connect Four while I was standing there and it’s graphics were horrible. Reminds me of the old Tiger handheld games (although those were great for that time period – ie: late 80s, early 90s). I was expecting a little more graphic wise. I wasn’t able to play the demo on the touchscreen. It looked like the button was under the plastic. I do agree with Lura that it’s good to have something to do especially if you don’t own an ipod touch or an iphone where you can download much better games. But I’m hoping that Five Below gets these eventually. The cheap ones are better at $5 while the touch should be $10.
kimberlee 08.06.09 at 8:50 pm
I am going on a trip to tennesse in 2 weeks and looked at all the stores here to get a touch screen game to take with me and very dissapointed to say in battle creek mi none of the stores here are carrying them yet. If the badges do not count twords our badge album do the tokens we get on the touch screen transfer to our account? That is the only reason I was going to get one because I will be with out my computer for a week.
Vics 08.07.09 at 1:57 am
Hi all
I bought word whomp touch screen, had no trouble registering it. I have earned 2 badges and they only appear on the pocket game page.
I also bought monopoly slots. I found it interesting that since I registered word whomp on my account , I was able to register monopoly slots on my best friends account. Thought that was pretty cool.
The word whomp game is ok. Very small, have to have good lighting to play it. I definately need my glasses for this one. The badges were easy to get I only need the 80 or 85 point one. I don’t think I have earned any tokens yet.
I don’t think I will buy any of the others. Thought I wanted casino island but not so sure now. I bought mine at target, I live in San Diego California.
Have fun with them.
Kellie 08.07.09 at 8:35 am
I cant get my registration code to work!! =[ ive tried every combination.. Does anybody else have the solitare one?!? mayb they are useing the same codes?!?!?
Lura 08.07.09 at 8:36 am
Kellie: they’re not using the same codes. Each unit has a unique code that can only be used once. You should contact Pogo’s support to have them help you get it registered.
Jennifer 08.07.09 at 9:05 am
Perhaps I’m the only person who feels this way but I think it’s fantastic that the Pocket Pogo game badges have their own section and don’t show up in the regular Pogo badge books.
As someone who has absolutely zero interest in these things, I would have been pretty annoyed had there been spots in my regular badge book for these. I don’t really care too much for the fact that the Deluxe To Go game badges are in the regular game book. There are some of those that I’m not interested in (Way To Go Bowling, Pictureka) and those sections are going to always be blank in my game badge book. I don’t like that.
I’m not happy that Pogo has what amounts to an advertisement for these games on my profile page. But, I live with that the same way I live with the other advertisements for the Deluxe games that I have to see on my ad-free Club Pogo pages.
I think it’s just fine Pogo is keeping this separate from Club Pogo because, after all, these games are NOT Club Pogo games.
CrazyBlonde 08.07.09 at 10:55 am
Hey everyone, I went to the target in cincinnati Ohio and they had alot of each game….I bought the yahtzee I had no prob reg the code..however I was wondering if anyone got any badges for this game yet?!?!?!? I was reading the requierments to get the badges and it says 300 pts 500 and 700 pts and i think that you have to get them on game 1 only (which is reg) Its imp to get that many pts in 1 game, i have played it for hours and havent gotten 1 badge and my highest score was 280…so I guess im just wondering what you really have to do to get the badges?? The graphics on these games are terrible I cant hardly even see the game, I will not buy another game!! I like many others didnt read that they wasnt going to be in our badge album!! that is disapointing to me :( no reason to buy them for the free 30 day membership cuz its 19.99….the only thing that these games are good for is if you are on vacation and have to sit in the car for hours!!
TY Lura for all you do…this site is awesome I come here several times a day, badgehungry has been part of my daily routine for months now!!
Have a wonderful weekend all
Kellie 08.07.09 at 11:57 am
Laura:… thank you i did contact them!
sheri 08.08.09 at 1:32 pm

After reading about the Pocket Pogo games, don’t think I’ll waste any $$. As far as the badges go for these games, they did the same thing a few years ago when they came out with the mobile phone pogo games. I think the badges for those were separate too.
joby baker 08.09.09 at 1:58 pm
bought the solitiare one and love it. the only thing I would change is to have it light up and move the peaks down a hair. hard to see the top 3 peaks unless it is on a flat surface.
Thelma 08.10.09 at 4:37 pm
Bought my touch screen Yahtzee 8/8/09 in Torrance, CA. Now, trying to get it set up with my Pogo account!!!!
Great fun!!
Loon 08.10.09 at 6:00 pm
After reading the fine print, I am not going to purchase them.
I was originally under the impression that the tokens and badges would be awarded for the account you have (or would create with their 30 day pass with the hand held game) on Pogo. Since it’s not, I will not be buying them unless they decide to change that in the future.
I was going to pre-order nearly all of the touch screen ones too! Glad I didn’t bother. I held back on pre-ordering the games when they weren’t released back in July and the date was pushed back.
Lura 08.10.09 at 6:28 pm
Loon: well, you may have gotten misinformation somewhere. The tokens and badges are awarded to your Pogo account (or whatever account you choose to register them under), but the biggest gripe so far is that the badges aren’t added to your badge album (the one other players can browse) and also not added to your badge total. The tokens, however, are awarded to your account but — and don’t quote me on this — they’re just a set amount for registering the device, not for playing the game and earning points/tokens with the handheld like with Pogo Island DS.
Loon 08.10.09 at 7:41 pm
Ohhh! I see. I must have misunderstood. Thanks for clearing that up for me Lura. Sorry about that :)
Lura 08.10.09 at 9:07 pm
No problem Loon, I just want people to have the right information. :)
piper12345p 08.10.09 at 10:18 pm
i love the hand-held games cause when your away from the computer or when u lose power u can still play pogo without being logged on
WilliamPorygon 08.11.09 at 10:01 am
Didn’t see them when I went to Wal-Mart yesterday, but will pick one or two up when I see them. Yahtzee’s the one I’m looking for most. Having read the instructions for most of them on the Pogo Help pages, I’m kind of debating whether or not to get Word Whomp — though it tells you how many words are left there’s no way to review what words you’ve already entered or the lengths of the remaining words, so it’ll end up being much harder than the online versions. Then again, I kind of need it to be harder to keep it interesting; I find every single word probably 98% of the time because of all the hints, ordered word lists, etc. in the online game.
Until and unless they make actual Club badges that are earned through the touch screen games, I’m not going to bother getting most of the others.
Kellie 08.11.09 at 10:09 am
So i wrote earlier about not being able to enter my code.. i contacted pogo a week and a half ago and still havnt heard anything… is this normal?! ? i feel like ive tried every veration of my code under the “check this” section =[ is anybody else having as hard of a time as i am?!!?
Terri 08.11.09 at 2:45 pm
try changing numbers to letters like 5 might be a S instead
Jan 08.11.09 at 7:00 pm
I am not young but enjoy pogo so much. I would like to buy pogo to go but my eyes aren’t that good. When i play 1st class solitaire my eyes start to hurt after about an hr. Should I get this pogo to go with bad eyes?
Lura 08.11.09 at 7:18 pm
Jan: You may be able to play the handhelds in bright light or with a booklight (because a lot of people have complained that they are not backlit and therefore dim in most lighting situations), but the screens aren’t that big. I’m not sure what to tell you other than if you can visit a Target near you that has them in stock, take a look at them. I know Target’s web site allows you to check availability in stores near you.
ledmo90 08.11.09 at 11:51 pm
According to the pogo website you can only earn up to 1 million tokens, I did not read as to these tokens being added to your pogo account. If i am wrong please correct me. If the tokens are added then exactly HOW would you be able to add these tokens to your account? seems like the badges and tokens are restricted to the hand held device. I haven’t seen the actual hand helds, but from the pictures you can see that the graphics are terrible!!!!!!! Resembles the cheap games that are given away in kid’s meals. I will definately not be spending my money on these.
tigger 08.12.09 at 9:45 am
when u register the handheld to your account, the tokens go there..badges from what i read are not going into ur album where ppl on pogo can see them, but tokens, yes they r added to account..and u never know, u see one up close, u might like it..i seen pics and was like hmmm, but am waiting to see if someone around here has them and im goin to look at them to see if i am interested, because u never know, see them and test them, might like :)
Terri 08.13.09 at 12:49 pm
I am wondering about the 1 million tokens transferred to our Pogo account also. I got 20 thousand when I registered my touch screen Word Whomp and that is it. I am so glad I didn’t get another game and only bought one the first time. I will not be buying anymore and will stick to my Pogo Island DS for my fix of Pogo when away from my computer. Does anyone know if there are any plans of a new DS game coming out? I also miss my mobile Word Whomp. Lost that when I upgraded my cell phone.
WilliamPorygon 08.13.09 at 1:56 pm
From what I understand (I’m going by the instructions for Pocket games posted on Pogo’s help site), the game devices give a code to enter on the Pocket Pogo page to claim each “pocket badge” when you earn it, and additional codes to enter in for tokens after every so many games played. Apparently if you play long enough to receive every code a game has you’ll have gotten 1 million tokens in total from it, though the instructions give no indication of how many games you have to play to get that far.
Kristi 08.13.09 at 5:11 pm
I bought the Solitaire one. I have already earned 1 badge. It will give you a code and you put it in at http://www.pogo.com/pocket. It does not show up under the regular badge books or even in you total badges earned. My instructions said that when I reached a token milestone (not sure how many that is) then I will get a code and that will be added to my token total. I did get 20,000 when I registed my pocket game. Yes, the background is not lit, but very easy to see and play. My only complaint is there is no sound button….hard for me to play when my little ones hear me turn it on and want “their turn”!
Steve 08.13.09 at 5:49 pm
Does anyone know yet if the codes work for multiple pogo accounts or not? Just curious if my wife and I can both use it and probably post it here as well.
Lura 08.13.09 at 6:16 pm
Steve: I believe each code is one-time-use only.
Genevieve 08.14.09 at 8:29 am
Good Friday Everyone, I am so happy I didn’t rush out to buy a Pocket Pogo, I have heard so many negative things about them. I agree with Terri, I love my Pogo Island for my DS and I sure wish Pogo would come out with another one, they seem to do a “good thing” and than forget about what they did!! I have talked to about 6 people who bought the Pocket Pogos and took them back. I know alot of people love them but I think there are more negative comments than positive ones. I honestly think Pogo should concentrate on fixing the problems with some of the games on here than venturing out. Crossword Cove still isn’t fixed, people still aren’t getting their badges, and know there are other games, but Crossword Cove is really bad. This is only my “two cents” on the topic so please don’t take offense and I apologize upfront if I did offend anyone. Have fun.
Barbara 08.26.09 at 3:25 am
I bought Tri Peaks at Target 2 weeks ago. STILL having trouble reading the code that has to be entered on the website. Wrote to pogo… got no answer.
Game is useless to me this way.
Lindsey 08.26.09 at 4:07 pm
I got the Word Whomp game. I got all 3 badges in the first 3 games. Definately not worth $20.
nuttywoman 08.26.09 at 5:03 pm
just got 3 pogo pocket games at target pay 20.00 for touch screen solitare $10.. for monopoly and $10.00 for connect 4 i wish they would come out with poppit i hope its worth it have not play any yet thanks
chris 08.26.09 at 5:18 pm
i live in pittsburgh and target has some but not all
Barbara 08.30.09 at 4:15 pm
Hi all. I need help, please. I purchased the solitaire game a few weeks ago and for the life of me, I can’t figure out the code. When I enter what I read as the code that scrolls across the bottom of the screen, I get a message that it’s incorrect. This has happened at least 15-20 times.
I hate to throw $20 down the toilet along with the game. (Not to mention how much a plumber would cost to fix the toilet)
I wrote pogo several times and they won’t respond with the code… I included the code as I saw it so they wouldn’t think I just wanted the code for no reason. Can someone please send me the code in a pogo message. My pogo name is Bardmill. TY TY TY in advance.
Lura 08.30.09 at 5:45 pm
Barbara: the codes are different from handheld to handheld. You’re going to have to contact Pogo’s customer support again…until they respond back to help you.
SiamaLee 08.31.09 at 9:53 am
I bought word whomp at amazon. $19.99 and then with shipping and tax came out to $26.87. Sure was not worth it. When I bought it, I didn’t know the badges were not going to be in the badge album. No where on the advertising page does it say that. I got it before the news had that little line about it. Got the 3 badges the first day. Have not figured out how to add the tokens I have earned since then. The only codes that come up are for registration and the badges. I thought playing after the badges would get me tokens to enter on pogo. Sure have no idea how to do it.
tigger 08.31.09 at 1:11 pm
from my understanding the code is on the back of the handheld, and u have to register it on the handheld site and not sure, but prolly sign in pogo name on handheld, dont quote me on that, hadnt bought one nor will i b buying one, for that money i can buy subscription to pogo and/or gems lol..although i think once u register it on the handheld site it will automatically transfer tokens to account..
Lura 08.31.09 at 1:20 pm
tigger’s partially right.
The code is only on the back of the non-touchscreen handhelds. Once you enter that code and earn your initial tokens + Club Pogo month, you get nothing else from them.
The touchscreen handhelds have codes that display on the screen at different times as you play: to register your handheld, to earn badges, and to earn tokens. You have to earn a certain amount of tokens to get the code for that many tokens.
Neither handheld “automatically” connects to your Pogo account in any way. They’re just battery-operated devices that have no wireless or any way to connect them to the internet.
As I’ve stated before, I am by no means an expert and I could be wrong here — I purchased two of the handhelds and when they arrives I was so wholly unimpressed that I didn’t open them. They’ve been sitting on my coffee table for weeks and I’ll probably throw them in my closet to give away as stocking stuffers at Christmas time.
tigger 08.31.09 at 2:06 pm
ack ss for giving wrong info lol..lura what ones did u buy?i think its definitely poor marketing, they coulda made it at least where u always earn tokens, i dont care that the badges dont show in the normal album, but dang, to just b able to earn so many, that stinks lol
Lura 08.31.09 at 2:30 pm
tigger: I purchased all of them, but Yahtzee and Scrabble (touchscreens) shipped first. Once they arrived, I canceled the rest of my order. I was really disappointed in the handhelds. :( I was hoping for something like Pogo Island DS, which is/was fantastic and could only be better with the addition of badges. Sometimes I wish I had a puzzle-type touchscreen, maybe like Jewel Bash, but I’m okay without it. I’ve got an iPhone and a Nintendo DSi — I don’t really need any more on-the-go toys!

I have to agree with Lura on this one. I ran out and got the Word Whomp touchscreens for my mother and I. The only word I can think of is LACKLUSTER.
Very disappointing. I have played it a total of less than an hour the entire time I’ve had it.

I was on live chat with pogo today (live chat doesn’t work with firefox) and I happened to bring up pocket pogo. The tokens do count.
Pogo Walker: Yes, there are 3 badges and when you have 10000 tokens you will get another code to upload the tokens.
Pogo Walker: You will be able to upload upto 150,000 tokens to your account at once from your Pocket Pogo, and you will also be able to upload 20,000, 30000, 40,000, 50,000, 75,000 and 100,000
Guess I didn’t reach 10,000 yet.

Hi all,
Been reading a lot of issues that I have also had same problems, so where to start …. LOL
1. The pocket game codes r VERY hard to read. Until I pulled out a magnify glass did I know I wasnt reading what I thought. 10-15 times entering it, in every way I could think of that I might be entering wrong. Displays arent as good as they could have made them. Did get tokens rewarded as advertised.
2. Am also disapointed that badges rnt where they can be displayed after spending the money.
3. Very, very diapointed that the mobile games were discontinued without warning after buying several and not being able to complete them all.
4. Also have POGO Island for my DSi (Am I pogo addicted??? .. LOL) but cant upload those tokens because I have a ( _ ) at the end of my userID and Island doesnt have that symbol in its special characters. Any suggestions for that?
Thanks.

I got my pocket pogo wordwhomp yesterday I preorder it two month ago. Register it but didnt recieve my tokens and got my first badge but that didnt show in club pogo either…..maybe i did something wrong?

Dawn: I think some of your question may be answered by reading through previous comments in this thread — the badges don’t show up in your Club Pogo badge albums, just on the Pocket part of the site, which only you can see. As far as not receiving your tokens, I suggest you contact Pogo support.

I bought my Word Whomp touch screen at Meijers in Sellersburg, IN two weeks ago. They had all the games.

does anyone know if you can still play the pocket handheld games even after you reach the max tokens and have all the badges.i mostly want them to play when i can’t get onto pogo and when i’m between class and stuff.
