September 15 - 9:02 PM - v1.75 Well, sorry for not updating for the past 2 days... There just wasn't anything to update... and remember, PF!1.8 comes out tommorrow! Another new Japanese promo has been released! It's Birthday Pikachu....2 (As if one weren't enough). It will be included in the new official Pokémon comic on 9/23/01. I do wonder why they didn't use the VS or Neo card formats though... Anyway, here's a link to the new promo. Thanks to PA! for the scan... click here to view it! Well, I'm sure the rank has dropped big time... Top 100 - 113... PokeSky - 16... Top 50 - 295... well, it seems like they didn't drop BIG time, but SMALL time... Well, the Gamecube generation has begun in Japan! And also the war, PS2 and Gamecube... and pretty soon, in November, Microsoft's first and newest gaming system is going to be included into this war... 3 Gamecube games has been released with it, Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm and Sega's Monkey Ball. The sales demand was still high as expected, but much of Gamecube's attention was drawn away by this week's events even all the way to Japan. Nintendo's Gamecube should be released on November 18th in America. Remember, PF!1.8 comes out tomorrow! September 13 - 6:30 PM - v1.75 Yah, well, I'm kinda late today... Well, PF! 1.8 IS going to be out in three days... September 12 - 5:23 PM - v1.75 Canada showed respect to USA... everyone in Canada lowered their Canadian flags to mid-way (I'm a Canadian). The partly disliked President George Bush had actually said that he isn't sending ANY Americans who is hurt in this tragedy to Canada for medical care because he said he DOESN'T want any other countries to help... Yah... I always disliked him even though I'm not American. With all the limited medical care available in the US some who are hurt just might not get the treatment and die when they could've gotten the right treatment in Canada... why did Americans vote for Bush? I have just been told from my friends that the terrorists might've picked September 11 because it was 9-1-1... I would just like to give a moment of silence for all those who have been killed in this very terrible tragedy. I would like to give my condolences to the families who have been affected by these incidents. Let's move on... Village is still down... Top 100 - 106... PokeSky - 14... Top 50 - 191... September 11 - 9:37 PM - v1.75 I'm sure if not 100%, 99.9%
of you will know about the crashes and bombings in the US today. At 8:45
AM in New York City, a Plane Crashed into one of the two Twin Towers (AKA
- World Trade Centers). At first, it was thought to be an
computer/mechanical error, 18 minutes later another plane September 10 - 5:21 PM - v1.75 Firstly, Ness form Pojo got a chance to interview Jeremy Kassan, ranking #87 in the world... Click to view it here! And also, for your patience, we finally got a shorter address! You can now visit Pokemon Forever! at http://pokeforever.cjb.net! And also a reminder, PF!1.8 comes out in 6 days! Village is still down... Top 100 - 98... PokeSky - 14... Top 50 - 192... it seems like the ranks are dropping... September 9 - 5:35 PM - v1.75 Sorry there weren't any updates
yesterday... Surprisingly, Phil Mondiello, the TCG player
that got the 4 year suspension, wanted Pojo to post a article by him about
the suspension... you can see it here.
Yes people....many of you were skeptical, even
doubtful. But Promo #39 IS Misdreavus. In fact...this scan
proves it. Click

A spoiler of the new VS set! Thanks to Usugi-Chan from Pojo! Click here to view it! Village is still down... Top 100 - 99... PokeSky - 10... Top 50 - 176... hmm... only 11 hits today... There was a Mewtwo special that aired in Japan a couple months ago, and it looks as if it is being released in North America. Amazon.com has a video named "Mewtwo Returns" that will be released December 4th, 2001. Judging from the Pokemon Johto Champions schedule, this special episode would be aired around that time (though now it's on VHS/DVD). You can check it out for yourself, maybe even pre-order if you are interested, by clicking this link (DVD) or this link (VHS). Tune in to Cartoon Network tonight at 7:30pm EST/PST to watch the debut of Pokemon on Cartoon Cartoon Friday. I'm not sure what episode they will be showing, so you might want to check it out. September 6 - 6:00 PM - v1.75 Well, it seems like there's a "lost
episodes" theme these couple of days so I thought I'd bring in a
transcript, yes you heard me right, TRANSCRIPT, of Holiday in Acapulco. Thanks
to Pojo again! Click here

I've got you a summery and 10 new pics for the episode. It's thanks to
Pojo as I did yesterday! You can visit the summery here!
And, well, I'm kinda depressed because of school... my teacher is kinda
mean... anyhow this year at
the TMB 2001 (Tropical Mega Battle) English VS Pokemon cards were given
out to the participants. We're lucky to have scans from a participant in
the event named Michael Perucca. BIG thanks goes out to him and PA!
for the scans and information! Click
here to see the English VS Scans! And also,
today's Lycos is up... September 4 - 5:54 PM - v1.75 If you're wondering why I'm updating so late... it's school [drag]... Anyways,
ever wonder why you've never seen the Pokemon Episode "The Legend of
Dratini" on KidsWB? September 3 - 11:46 PM - v1.75 Huh... for most of us, including me, tomorrow is the first day of school... (and I still don't know which teacher I'm having!) what a drag... well, not really much news, but I've just found out, thanks to PA!, that Pokemon Mini will cost around 30-40 USD... wow! That's alot! And Village is still down... Top 100 - 49... PokeSky - 9, and Top 50 - 209... Well, we've got 16 hits today, and 16 views... Let's hope to get more this afternoon... September 2 - 3:57 PM - v1.75 I have found an article from PokeMasters and they have some more information on Pokemon Mini, with a full sized screenshot. It now seems like that Pokemon Mini won't be releasing in Japan nor US/CAN. But I have been hearing something about it being released in Japan... I don't know. The article says that it's only going to be released in Europe until further notice. Anyways, read it yourself here. (It won't take you outside our site). Village is still down, so... Top 100 - 56... worst by 1... PokeSky - 8... worst by 1... Top 50 - 232... same... And now, according to Top 100, we have 66 visitors so far today, and from PokeSky, 81 views. September 2 - 7:32 AM - v1.75 Well, after seeing the hits yesterday, I think that I should update more. Village - STILL down... [drag] Top 100 - 55... Wow!!! PokeSky - 7... better by 1!! Top 50 - 232!!! HEY!!! YESTERDAY we were at the thousands with Top 50!!! The average still can't be checked because Village is down... but we've got 22 hits so far today! And according to PokeSky the pages have been viewed 449 times! Well, since I don't have any news for you this early morning, and I've just updated last night, you should see last night's update. If you haven't seen it yet, it seems like that NoJ is making a new creation, and NoA hopefully will release it in USA and Canada. I'll defiantly update this afternoon. September 1 - 8:02 PM - v1.75 The First day of September! It means that 16 more days 'till the release of v1.8! But it also means that school'll start soon... Let's do some math... Pokemon Pikachu device + cartridge slot + rumble pack = new Pokemon Mini, Nintendo's latest handheld creation!! Nintendo announced the latest twist in its already-deep Pokemon product line today at its pre-ECTS press conference in London. The device, called Pokemon Mini, looks and acts a lot like the Tamagotchi-like virtual life toy, Pokemon Pikachu. But rather than just make another toy in the same vein, Nintendo has instead turned the concept into a standalone cartridge-based game system. Pokemon Mini features a D-pad, three buttons (two on the face with one large C button on the right side of the unit), a shock sensor that registers how many times you shake the unit, an infrared port for communicating with up to five other Pokemon Minis, a built-in rumble feature, and a 96x64 LCD display. The system has a built-in clock, and is designed to work with game cartridges. Nintendo showed off four such cartridges today. The games are extremely simple and definitely aimed at a younger, Pokemon-craving audience. The Pokemon Mini will be released in Japan sometime this year and will hit Europe next year. No US plans for the Pokemon Mini have been announced at this time. Screenshots here! Village - down... Top 100 - 83!!! When have we went to the 2 digits? Well, I've recently joined two other top sites, PokeSky's and Top50 Networks... let's look at their ranks since Village is down... PokeSky - 8!!! Whoh! Yesterday we were at 16!!! Top 50 - 1067... [yah, I know] ... better by 400 something! No average today, but according to PokeSky, our site has been view over 300 times, and we've got 189 hits!!! Into the early 3 digits we go! August 31 - 6:46 PM - v1.75 I feels like yesterday that it was a first day of August! And today's already the end of August! So let's party by giving tons of news! Not Pokemon, but this article from LOS ANGELES (Reuters) is still going to get you excited. Since it is very long, you can view it by clicking here. It also gives others chances who don't want to read it pass on. Also included inside is articles about Xbox being delayed in Japan, some Harry Potter news and more on Gamecube being delayed. Village - down... Top 100 - 186... worst... August 30 - 5:06 PM - v1.75 Hey, I'm back! And look, I've got Lycos with me again! Here are the
results for today... Powerball
has taken DBZ's spot at number one this week. That should change since
it's not as big of a pot anymore. Pokemon has dropped 3 spots to number 6 August 29 - 5:48 PM - v1.75 Hahh... school starts in a few days... which means bad news to everyone... Village - 477... bad... Top 100 - 186... not good... The average is still the same... 13... but the hits... uahh... bad... only 2 this afternoon... let's hope everyone's coming at night... Hey, want some scans? Well, since we haven't gotten much scans lately, here's one from PokeAbode! Click here to view it! August 28 - 7:33 PM - v1.75 Heh... let's start with ranks... Village - 463... same... Top 100 -
170... better by 5... The average is still 13, and we've got 3 more hits
since the last update... looks like there's nothing but ranks to update
these days.... well, I do have something...
About the Super smash Bros., GC-Inside says that Sonic the August 28 - 3:17 PM - v1.75 Ya... late update last night... and some updates on the spaceworld was updated... And let's start off with ranks again... Village - 463... hey! The ranks actually rised... and I thought that it was going to drop... Top 100 - 175... well, this one got worst... The average still stayed the same... 13, and we've got 5 hits today... an OK number of hits when it's the afternoon... August 27 - 10:05 PM - v1.75 Ha, the server was down yesterday, so I couldn't
update... and today I did a defragment with my hark disk and it took practically
the whole day... [sigh...] Good thing it ended just on time... And, I
still updated yesterday, (I'm not THAT lazy, am I?) but I didn't upload
it... if you want to see it, it's here.
Village - 467... well, better than yesterday... but I think it might drop
since I didn't update yesterday. Top 100 - 165... this is better too...
please don't let it go down... The average was raised to 13... and 9 hits
today... not bad when there's no updates... I hope that it doesn't drop
THAT much tomorrow... (in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen) And here's some
news... Today in Spaceworld2001, About 3 minutes
of footage was shown for the sequel to Super Smash Bros. Super Smash
Brothers Melee. Here is a pic by IGN! There will be many more characters
in this game! Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf from the Zelda Games are also
said to be August 25 - 9:58 PM - v1.75 Heh... If you were wondering why it said 9:40 PM in the last update,
that was a typo. Anyways, the "typo" updates had some
interesting information, including stuff about Kakureon,
one of the 3rd generation Pokemon being on TV and with a screenshot too!
This morning's "typo" update is one I'd die to share! Village
- 548... same... Top 100 - 180... better, hey! The average is still 8...
and I can't believe this! 22! Wowie! Thank-you fans!!! [cough] Ok, back to
news, which I do have some of... A bit of
info has come from Spaceworld about an upcoming Pokemon game that will
utilize the E-Card Reader. Not much was discussed on this upcoming Pokemon
game, but apparently it will be called Pokemon Summer Road and will
interact with the new TCG cards. It's not know when the
game will be released, but it's expected to be released in Japan by summer
2002. More info as it comes. You can play Pokemon the Trading Card game August 25 - 9:40 AM - v1.75 Huh... school starts in a week, and hopefully I
won't be too busy. Just a reminder that PF!1.8 will be released on the
16th of September, and the Version History is screwed up and I'm not going
to fix it until the release of 1.8. I think I haven't told you this yet
but unfortunately PF! will not be using NewsPro until further notice
because my server doesn't support Perl 5. Village - 548... finally up but
worst... Top 100 - 207... worst too... The average... has dropped... to
8... and hey! 2 hits this morning! Let's get more! As
if NOA hadn't delayed anything else, Nintendo cancels November 5th plans
to bring Nintendo GameCube to US! Instead they delayed the release 2 weeks
to November 18! Yes, Parents do have only 36 Days to get a hold of the
GameCube and give it to their Children for Christmas! I'm also sure a lot
of you people might be able to get the GameCube which is predicted to be
one of the hottest Christmas Gifts this year! Japanese could get their
GameCube on September 14th! Well, the upcoming news are some old news but
you might not have heard it before! August 24 - 5:13 PM - v1.75 Yah, a very close update, eh? Well, a few hours ago I've posted some news on Southern Islands, and even got a scan. Village - still down... Top 100 - 200... better... I hope I'll have something to update when I get back... August 24 - 2:40 PM - v1.75 Here's to boost you up. Pojo
finally got his hands on a Southern Island Collection set today. He
said that he must admit that it's pretty cool. He already owned the
Japanese
All in all, not too shabby for a retail price of $19.99. If you are a collector, I'd recommend picking this up. Village - down...Top 100 - 229... uahh... bad... I'll come back later today... August 23 - 9:44 PM - v1.75 A little earlier than yesterday, but I still think I should update
earlier. Sorry for that. If you're wondering about some CoroCoro, some of
them, well, one of them was updated yesterday, with a translation. [yah!]
Village - 508... well, it's still good... Top 100 - 196... worst by 1?
Well, the average is still 10... and only 4 hits... what a drag... So,
the try to boost the ranks, here's some goodies PokeMasters are sharing
with us. Here's 5 images of the upcoming Card E Reader that have surfaced
from Spaceworld 2001. August 22 - 10:11 PM - v1.75 Sorry I'm a bit late tonight, so let's get started! Village - 514... worst by 2??? How weird... Top 100 - 195... better by 4... is there a math guy behind this? Worst by 2... better by 4... The average... it's still 10... and an extraordinary 12 hits it is... thanks a bunch to you too! Well, for Canadians, I have a special announcement. Well, for "Toronto-ians" and "Ottawa-ians", acutally... because these two cities made it to the qualifiers! Click here for the almost full list of the other qualifiers. Thanks to PA! for bring this up. And... another Coro Coro Promo! A Celebi! Click here to view it from PokeAddict.Net! It's also an E-Card! Folks at PA! also has a scan of it and here it is! (Special Pokémon 2001 Jumbo
card) Thanks a bunch to PA! today! August 21 - 4:33 PM - v1.75 First off, let's do the ranks first again... Village - 512... that's great! Top 100 - 199... this one got worst... Well, it looks like that our average went back to 10, and a little number 3 is the hits... com'on people! Let's get more! This doesn't really concern us North Americans but here it is: In the August edition of Disney Adventures you can find this quote: "Pokemon Crystal will definitely be released in Australia. At this stage, it's in September, and Nintendo will conduct a National Pokemon tour to celebrate. Held at Westfield shoppingtowns around the country, there will be live shows and a chance to download the ultra-rare 251st Pokemon, Celebi." We'll try to post more information on the tour dates when they become available. This is it, but I'll try to come back tonight... if I get any spare time off ... August 20 - 5:20 PM - v1.75 Well, first off, the ranks had gotten worst... look... Village - 535... Top 100 - 197... The average dropped by 2! Only 9!!! And we've only had 5 hits so far... please get more! Well, it's almost time for school [sigh], and then the ranks will get even lower... I've just received a notice today that the past 2 episodes were actually the premieres of Season 4! And I do have some sort of bad news... v1.8 will NOT release on the 1st of September... but it will be once again planned to be released on the 3ed Sunday of September, which is the 16th. I don't think there will be anymore need of pushing. I'm actually done the whole thing, for those of you who think I haven't even started it yet, but it's for some purposes that I can't tell you about until the version is released. August 19 - 5:24 PM - v1.75 No news but ranks again this afternoon... maybe I'll boost something later today... Village - 508... same... Top 100 - 187... same too... The average is still 11, but we did manage to get a mere 3 hits... and we still need more. August 19 - 9:57 PM - v1.75 Whew! This is probably the earliest update I've ever done... Look at the ranks! Village - 508... wow! Top 100 - 187... this is awesome! I couldn't thank you enough! But, I just hope our opening rank for v1.8 will be below 500... Our average has increased a lot... from yesterday's 8... to today's 11! But, since it's just the start of Sunday (the day virtual traffic are low), we don't have ANY hits yet... August 18 - 6:22 PM - v1.75 Well, just to remind you again, as said in yesterday's news, v1.8 will be released sometime in September, and the Version History is screwed up so don't bother going there. Village - 544... worst... Top 100 - 204... better? Well, the average went back to 8, but woah! 14 hits so far today! And it's only the evening! Let's hope that we'll get more tonight so our rank would go higher again. WB viewers might've seen Pokemon this morning for two new episodes of Pokemon to start out the new season called "The Johto League Championships". Check out your local listings to find out when "A Goldenrod Opportunity" and "A Dairy Tale Ending" will be airing since it is different from station to station. That's it for now, but I might come back tonight... August 17 - 8:37 PM - v1.75 Very soon, sometime in September, we're going to release our newest version, v1.8! It's planned to be released on September 1st, but we might still push it back a little if necessary. The version history page is currently messed up now, so the information there won't be accurate. I've also decided that since it's screwed up, I'm not going to fix it until the release of v1.8 because I'd want you to have a little surprise. Village - 530... I knew it... worst... Top 100 - 226... by 5? Why? Well, Village site is down today so I can't check the average. And to "sparkle" you up, Nintendo announced recently that Pokemon Crystal has already sold over 600,000 copies in the two weeks it has been out. And people say Pokemon is dead... August 16 - 5:37 PM - v1.75 For Non-Harry fans, I really should say sorry for posting so many Harry
info. The only reason why I do it is because a lot of people ARE Harry
fans, and I don't have quite enough stuff to open a Harry site... and
here's some Harry info... skip it if you want with the links from Today's
updates... Wizards
of the Coast sent Pojo the following email last tonight:
"As you may know, the Harry Potter Trading Card Game became available
for everyone to collect and play last week. We had a great event in the UK

It will be pre-loaded with all the Gameshark codes you'd ever need for Pokemon Crystal, AND all of the previous Gameboy Pokemon games. Of course if that's not enough, you can always add more.

August 7 - 10:22 PM - v1.75 Whew! Good thing I was able to squeeze some time to update. This afternoon, there was a talk about Phil... and you'd probably want to read it if you missed it and you're a TCG player. If you watch the cartoon often, here is some news that you might be concerned about. This Saturday on Kids WB a new episode of Pokemon will air that was previously skipped for some reason, The Psychic Sidekicks. You'll have to check your local listings for when it airs since I've seen different times when I was confirming this information. Thanks to PokeMasters for pointing this out. Village - 523... Top 100 - down... Well, the average is still the same, 15, and from 3 o'clock's 4 hits, only 2 more came in, that means that only 6 hits today! I need more! August 7 - 3:03 PM - v1.75 One of the hottest Pokemon topics on Message Boards these days involves Phil Mondiello. Phil was the #1 Pokemon CCG player in the world. Phil recently received a 4 year suspension from the Wizards of the Coast DCI. "Infraction: False Tournament Reports - Providing False Information to the DCI". Phil was a 13 year old judge trying to boost his friend's Pokemon & Magic The Gathering DCI rating. Phils was trying to get his friend a bye at the East Coast Super Trainer Showdown. What did Phil do? He put his friend in tourneys that his friend never played in, and sent in false reports by giving him wins he never received. He falsified the number of participants in a tourney to ensure it was sanctioned. Wotc's DCI discovered this and banned Phil for 4 years from playing in DCI sanctioned events. Some folks think that is fair punishment for the crime. Some thought it was too harsh. While others think he should be prevented in playing in future Pokemon Leagues and receive other penalties. Thanks a lot to Pojo for letting us know such an important article. Village - 523... surely has gotten worst... by 23 too... Top 100 - 233... better by 1??? I just hope that the ranks'll be better tonight when I come back... Well, the average today dropped from yesterday's 16 to today's 15... it's dropping everyday by 1... what'll I do? And only a mere 4 hits too... But maybe more people will come at night...
August 6 - 7:37 PM - v1.75 Master Trainer Mike announced a new Pokemon DCI format on the Wizards of the Coast Message Board over the weekend. The format looks as if it will be "Rocket On" (Team Rocket, Gym: Heroes, Gym: Challenge, Neo: Genesis, Neo: Discovery, Southern Islands, and any American Promo release) ... Here's MTM's quote: "Starting September 1st you will be able to start
sanctioning the new Pokemon format. We are finalizing the floor rules for
it as we speak (well not RIGHT now, right now I am at Gen Con running the
Pokemon Gym). Hint: You won't have to worry about those overplayed
ER/SER/Wiggly/Sneasels in this format. We have have heard what you
are saying. After visiting Gen Con, Pojo has something to say, " I spent all of Saturday at Gen Con. Tourneys were held in a huge gaming area on the first floor, where I'm guessing more than a thousand people could play CCG's ... all at the same time (Pokemon, Magic, DBZ, Raw Deal, etc.). Dealers, and Game Companies took up the entire second floor. Wizards of the Coast had a large chunk of this area. Master Trainer Pat was there running some Pokemon Challenge action. It was $5 to play. You got a Birthday Pikachu badge (a real Birthday Pikachu card inside a badge you hang from your neck), a blind pull at a rare card (foils & promos included) a booster pack, and got to challenge other people. Not bad for $5. Below is a photo I took of the gaming area.
Village - 500... not bad... Top 100 - 234... 11... Well, from yesterday's average of 17, it has dropped to 16??? And we have 6 hits... not bad, but I think that there's still room for improvement. August 5 - 9:00 PM - v1.75 First of all, sorry for being off yesterday... And secondly, I, personally missed Gen Con, but folks at Pojo didn't miss it, and they've got something to say, "A few of us spent the day at Gen Con today. We met the good People at WOTC (MTG, Pokemon, Harry Potter), and Score (DBZ Card Game) and Comic Images (WWF Raw Deal Card Game), as well as some of our cool advertisers. It was a ton of fun. Over 170 people entered the Raw Deal CCG tourney. This game is riding a nice wave of popularity. We snapped dozens of pictures ... we'll try posting some tomorrow. It's time to kick off my shoes and enjoy a cold one!" Well, it sounded like a lot of fun... too bad I missed it. In other news, now that we know Crystal has some secrets to it, we've also discovered the Gameshark code to get the mysterious GS Ball on your Crystal game cartridge. To access it, type in the code 917393D8 on your v3.1 or higher Gameshark to put the GS Ball in the first slot of your backpack. I haven't tried this code myself because I'm not a sharker, but if you would like to try it, feel free to do so. Some say you'll need 16 badges in order for Kurt to accept the GS Ball. If anyone receives positive results when giving the GS Ball to Kurt, please contact us and we will give you full credit as always. Thanks a whole lot to PA! for this information that might attract sharkers. Village - 508... hmm... Top 100 - 243... yah, worst... Well, it's probably of two reasons... first, because this is the long weekend, and secondly, and mainly I think is because I wasn't here yesterday... and the average is... 17??? Oh my! But we only got 2 hits... again probably of the 2 reasons... Yesterday, the version history got changed... for people who want to know approx. when v1.8 will release (which I am already working on now), that is the perfect place to view it.
August 3 - 7:35 PM - v1.75 Well?! Is this the Charizard
The Southern Islands Collection set has eighteen
cards you've probably never seen before. These rare Pokémon Three-ring binder with a unique wraparound design 1 Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec PS2 07/13/01 $0.55 $0.96 Village - 500... hmm... no change... Top 100 - 203... defiantly worser... Well, today we have an average of 13... and 47 hits??? How could this happen!!??
August 2 - 8:05 PM - v1.75 We just busted our first
August 2 - 11:07 AM - v1.75 Well, I decided to boost you with some updates, since this I won't be here part of this weekend. Let's start... For those of you who didn't know it, Gen Con starts today! What is Gen Con? Gen Con is a huge Game Fair where hundreds of different games get played: Board Games; Trading Card Games; Card Games; Miniatures; Role Playing Games; etc. The will be playing Magic: The Gathering, DBZ CCG, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Dungeons & Dragons, Scrabble, chess, etc, etc, etc. Many of these are championship tournaments. Gen Con is held in Milwaukee, WI and runs through Sunday. Wizards of the Coast has a Virtual Gen Con site - "an online extension of the game fair. Those who cannot attend the convention or just can't get to every event during the weekend can get a glimpse of what they missed on these pages. Our camera crews work around the clock during the show to bring you both still photos and video footage of events, guests, and much more!" If you remember what I told you a couple days ago, PA! is having a new version, PA!6! What's so special? Well, it just happens to be today, 1 day after OUR release of v1.75! Well, Village is still down... the bug probably, and Top 100 - 197... yah... I appreciate it.
August 1 - 10:05 PM - v1.75 Can you believe it? It's already August! And also the release date of
v1.75! As usual, the Versions History Section has the July 31 - 8:21 PM - v1.6 OK, first thing's first... There's been a NEW
virus that is spreading rapidly! It's the Code Red Worm! This
morning, it had spread all over Switzerland, and by 8:00PM (About half an
hour ago) it spread all around the whole world! This virus doesn't harm
your computer (At least that was the results so far) and it ONLY harms
Computer servers... like the one we have here... let's hope it doesn't get
to us... Even though that it doesn't harm your computer, or at least
doesn't now, if you found it on your computer, you can Warm Boot
your computer to get it out of your R.A.M. (Random Access Memory). That's
all I got for now... if you have ANY information about this... many, MANY
people would appreciate it! OK, back to Pokemon. PA!'s webmaster, nick15,
had to LAY-OFF some staff! Here's what HE has to say! "Due to company
cut-backs and the impending recessions set for the US economy, Pokémonaaah.com
had to unfortunately lay off 500 workers, a whopping 7,124% of our
company. This will ultimately save the company up to an estimated $5 to
$10, slowing down production in an effort to save the company from going
bankrupt. Hopefully at the end of this recession (estimated to occur
around 2005), we will be able |

crashed
into adjacent building. Some people on the lower floors were able to be
evacuated luckily, but the people in the higher floors were unfortunately
unable to evacuate in time. About an hour later, another plane en route
from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California crashed somewhere
near Somerset County, Pennsylvania (Just outside Pittsburgh). Then, another
airplane hit a section of the military section of the Pentagon Building.
Today is certainly a day that will go down in world history, nothing like
this has ever happened since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Over 10,000
people are either dying, injured or dead. President Bush has promised that
we will hunt down and punish those responsible for this attack. I have a
friend in New Jersey who lost a few relatives in this incident, he is
truly heartbroken. It's hard to believe that this is even real... If you
lost someone in this horrible tragedy then I would like to offer you our
condolences. For more information on this "day of hell", see the
following links...
There are several reasons. The main reason is that too many people
are playing with guns (Jessie, James, & the Warden of the Safari
zone). The Warden fired off several shots at Jessie & James
early in the show. Team Rocket catch the warden, tie him up, and
give him a taste of his own medicine. It would be extremely
difficult to edit this episode as guns & bombs play a major role. I
think the Japanese were actually poking fun at gun-wielding Cowboy-type
Americans, and there is somewhat of a moral value at the end of the show.
It would require a ton rework to show this episode to kids. It's too
bad really, cause it has one of the best endings of any Pokemon episode.
Tomorrow, I'll post about 10 key images from the episode, and we'll tell
you exactly how Ash caught all those Tauros and you can learn the Legend
of Dratini. Thanks to Pojo for the picture pictured above.
Hedgehog
is in this Game! Wouldn't it be nice to see Mario and Sonic go at it like
they are in this Pic along with Pikachu! (If the pic's fake, oh well)...
I'm afariad that's it for today... let's hope there'll be more updates
tomorrow...
appearing in Smash Bros. Melee! Also Kirby, Pichu, and many more Pokemon
characters are going to be in this game. This game is rated teen, but who
cares! This Game is for GameCube and the graphics are excellent! Hopefully
I could get a clip of the 3 minute trailer! Back to ranks... Let's hope it
doesn't drop...

a friend though your GBA except you can use real trading cards instead of
the simple electronic ones on the Pokemon TCG Video game! The Pokemon

when using the E-Card.
Kakureon

episode as Pokemon takes one small step for a Pokemon and one giant leap towards

power house cards in here, he said wasn't even turning my head to look at
this. But when he stumbled across this, he just had to own it.

booster box of Harry Potter CCG cards! They have been shipped to those who
pre-ordered. I'm guessing the foil of the Harry Potter character
card is the "Charizard" of this set. We are working on a
spoiler and more card scans for you. We'll try to scan the Harry
Potter foil for you later on today. Village still has something wrong
with it... and Top is still up... Top 100 - 189... well, since Top 100 is
going up, I'm guessing that Village is going up too.
