Here's What's New for Today... • Crystal WILL Be Released In English! / I Told You! Comments: The problem is that not only does everyone have to reschedule THEIR time to accommodate this quick decision (since the episode was originally going to be filmed in 5 days), EVERYONE who works on the show except Paul HATES Stuart (because he's a horrible actor and is NOT funny), and was totally upset because Paul let Stuart do that without discussing it with Ray or Aaron (the other decision makers for Bwow and BwowTV). [phew, run on sentence!] We figure that this was probably done by Stu to get back at us for kicking him off the show. ... Imagine if your worst enemy decided to add an extra day of school/work on Saturday, and you'll have something of an idea about how everyone felt on this decision. .... Well at least we worked things out with Paul, he DID admit that he made a wrong decisison on letting Stuart call in to reschedule. (@_@) Oh well. Well, that was my excuse to not update, but actually I do need to update. Something new just came up. -------- Oh, I'll also probably have a quick one/two-day contest on this site, so stay tuned on more info. |

Crystal WILL Be Released In English! |

Hah! And you thought it wouldn't. .... Dark Aspenth sent the PA! Forums a link on this. Here's what he has to say on it: I've just found a website (well actually... thanks to Serebii of SPP) that shows the UK release dates for a select few N64 and Game Boy Color titles set for 2001. This is in the UK, so that means that when the states get Crystal, it'll be approximately Summer 2001! Here's the list to show proof: What did I tell you? What did I tell you?? See, Crystal WILL be released in English! And that page is the proof right there. Remember folks, you heard it from here second! Once again.... I told you
so!! |

The 'Gym Goes Wizards |
PokéGym - 12 Midnight PST |
|
Hey! When we all thought the 'Gym was going to pass on, Tyais punches us in the mouth with some AMAZING news on the future of the 'Gym. When I learned about it, I was so excited, I dropped everything (which was my baby cousin) and ran to the 'net to check it out. Sure shootin', Tyais worked out a deal with Dark Master Trainer Mike (DMTM) of Wizard's fame. Here's what Tyais said: Many of you have been wondering if The PokeGym. Well, as many of you may have known, I have been working with Dark Master Trainer Mike (a Wizards employee) to somehow resurrect The PokeGym. WizPoG! What a catchy name. (Seriously.) So the 'Gym will now be a Wizards official site (as far as I know). Good times. ... More on this as new stuff is made avalible. |

Here's What's New for Today... • No Update / Pppfffftttt Comments: Also, I'm thinking about searching for a new webmaster for PA! again. But unlike last time where I just passed the torch to any old person I felt like, I'll have people fill out "résumé" forms which will evaluate your worthyness of being a PA! webmaster. ... Now I still enjoy doing PA! (there's no doubt about it), but I also enjoy working on some of my other sites (especially Bwow Nation). Plus this time around I've got a good idea of what to do and what not to do when it comes to this new webmaster deal. I have a much better idea on how to control things, and so forth. Here we are.... PA! Webmaster Evaluation/Application This application is a SERIOUS one, and only to be filled out if you TRULY wish to take on the responsibilities of being a webmaster for PA!. Also take note that this is NOT a contest, and is NOT being treated as such. |

The worst images I've ever drawn so far. I hate them, and I'm not going to bother to draw new ones. Today's cards are Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable.
Sure, you may like them, but they're not good at all. Cleffa is another one of my Sumiyoshi Kizuki styled cards... but it looks more like Tomokazu Komiya (Neo Slowpoke) drew it. ... Well, at least it DOES look like a real cards. (@_@) With Clefairy, I tried to add a level of humor to it. Find it out for yourself... ;) ... Also Clefable's attack does make it useful, Pokémon will no longer lack a weakness to Colorless Pokémon. Then with Clefable... ick. No comment. Uhm, that's all I have for fake cards today. |

Here's What's New for Today... • No Update / Still Busy Comments: I'll talk about the 'Gym in a minute, but first... OK. PA! was down yesterday because I took it down. I had to do some upgrades and other maintenances for the server. Don't worry, everything's fine. Secondly, don't expect any updates until Monday. I'm still working hard on other server deals, and so I don't have time to work on updating PA! (let along make fake cards). Monday is when I'll hopefully have everything done. Now about the PokéGym. Yes, it's officially dead. No prior warnings, no good-byes... nothing. But there's a reason to that. Let's see.... The PokéGym was part of another company called "Psylum Inc.". Not only did Psylum run the 'Gym, but they also ran The Dojo (a Magic site) along with a slew of other popular sites. Now Psylum was bought up by USA Networks about a year ago. USA Networks is a TV network (like NBC, CBS, etc), which also owns the Sci-Fi network. ... No for some reason (the details yet unknown to the simple PokéGym fan like me), USA Networks wanted to go in a "new direction". And Pokémon (along with Magic and all the other Psylum sites) weren't part of that new direction. With that, they decided to shut down the Psylum sites. To make matters worse, they shut them down quietly WITHOUT warning or discussing it with ANYONE with a Psylum site. Tyais and Qasic (the PokéGym webmasters) were totally powerless to stop it. Although Qasic postponed the shut down of the UBB (thinking it was a hacker the first time around), he didn't totally stop it. Basically USA Networks said for them to shut it down, and they had no choice but to comply. It really sucks, doesn't it? Its like if construction workers just came waltzing in to your house and said "we're tearing this down" and began destroying your home. ... So now everyone's asking, will there be a ressurection of the PokéGym? Well, yes and no. First off, Tyais didn't seem to feel like going on any more after the shut down... but I'm sure his mind will change after about a few days of thinking about it. God knows the same thing happened with me a while back. ;) .... Secondly, most of the information at the PokéGym, including the layout and everything else belongs to USA Networks. So there's very little chance of ever getting the info or anything else from the 'Gym back. Now if Tyais and Qasic ever wanted to get the Gym back, they'll have to restart the site from SCRATCH. Which will really be a time waster, but they have no alternative... other than just not doing it again. Of course, the 'Gym wasn't just a website, it was a community, so there are literally dozens of people willing to resurect the 'Gym to it's former state. And weill probably do it with or without Tyais or Qasic. God knows I'm willing to work on a new design for the 'Gym. (^_^) .. Reconstruction has begun however. The 'Gym already got a temporary ezBoard as a replacement for the UBB. There you'll find log of the chat that Qasic and Tyais had the day of the 'Gyms demise. Although it may be complicated to read, it will explain more about this whole situation than I ever could. Hmmm... Well, here's the link to the ezBoard. You'll be seeing me there a lot too. Also check there (and here) for updates on the 'Gym's situation. Dark Master Trainer Mike of Wizards fame says he has something that may solve the 'Gym's problem. We'll wait and find out. http://pub48.ezboard.com/bpokegymboards Other than that, there's nothing much to talk about. Oh, I'm also working on affiliations with Bulbagarden and Next Generation Pokémon. Stay tuned for more info. (^.^) |

The card creates an "Intimidation" ability that effects EVERY Pokémon. If there's a Pokémon with an HP of 50 or under, than that Pokémon can't attack. PERIOD. ... Hee hee hee...

Well, let's see... First it was 2 one day, then 3, then 4.... I was supposed to do 5 yesterday, and 6 were planned for today. I'm on a roll here. Now since I didn't update yesterday, I'd though I'd mix yesterday's fakes and todays fakes into a mega 11 fake card day. Hmmm.... Today's cards are... [deep breath]... uhm... just look at the list..
Now the only ones I would consider being real cards are Unown X, Murkrow, and Energy Boost/Denial. ... The rest are just cut and paste jobs of other cards, with a 3D image I slapped together in 5 minutes. King's Rock, the evolved form for other classic "Stone" Trainers, like Fire Stone, Water Stone, etc. Black Glasses, Charcoal, Miracle Seed, Mystic Water, and Pink Bow are those Pokémon Tools which are actually really crappy PlusPowers. But hey, a lot of you folks wanted it, and so here they are. ... Heh, Mystic Water doesn't even look like an item. It just has a somewhat cool picture. Sna. Leftovers, the anti-Poison. Works much like the one in the Game Boy game does. .... Energy Boost / Energy Denial... now this is that new Trainer idea was is supposed to turn heads (in a manner of speaking). Sure it's not the most original idea (Magic has their cards of this type), but hey, it's new and fresh. ;) Bascially, if you want to use the card, can ONLY choose one or the other. You can't do both. Unown X.... it's an Unown. Wheee. Murkrow, probably another fearsome Basic Pokémon. 70HP, plus an attack that always discards a card from your opponent's hand. ... This can't be good at all. Rainbow Crystal is one of my first Jumbo cards (the other is the long forgotten Nick15's Unown N). And when I say JUMBO, I means JUMBO. Just take a look-see for yourself. .... Amazingly enough, none of them have a desktop. Awww.... Oh well, I'm done for the day. Tah-tah folks. [keels over and falls asleep] |

Team Rocket's back with a much nastier group of Pokémon... Today's cards are Rocket's Larvitar, Rocket's Pupitar, Rocket's Tyranitar, and Quicksand Gym.
The three Rocket cards deal with cloning... but more importantly, cloning though a "glitch" in Bill's Pokémon Computer (we all know about that, huh? ;) ... I'll probably have more of these type of "glitch" cards sooner on. Hmmm.... My favorite picture out of the 4 new ones is Rocket's Larvitar. You'd think that the little Larvi's were rendered in 3D, but they're all 100% Photoshop paintings. Neat effect, huh? The attack for it is a bit on the mediocre side... but what do you expect from a common? Pupitar is card that pushes the envelope for a common card. It's got some really keen attack. Rubble can do up to 120 damage for only ONE energy, and Crunch allows Pupitar to not take damage from a Darkenss Energy card, if it's attached to it. ... Wowee... Tyranitar is the real kicker. Simply play the card and your opponent's hand goes bye-bye. It's about time that there should be some DECENT card discarding effects rather than just shuffling cards into the deck. Bleck. Also Tyranitar's damage splitting attack (and 120 HP too boot) will make it one tough nut to crack. Ooohh doggies... ... The blurry effect on Tyranitar is like that on purpose. I meant to give it more of a mystical look to it. Also, don't bother mentioning the fact that they're not in Gym form. I put them in reguler Neo American form on purpose. It's rather tell a interesting story in the flavor text rather than having that stupid little guy in the corner. Quicksand Gym is a simple little Energy denial Stadium card. If someone plays a Basic Pokémon or Evolution card, they return an Energy card to their hand. Things will get trickey soon enough. ... :D Stop by tomorrow, I'll have a positive 5 cards, with ONE of them being a totally new Trainer type (including the blank to go with it), and another one being something too big to handle. I won't say what either of them are, but be sure to be here tomorrow to find out. ... Good times. |

I'sa gots three more fake cards for you. Two new Gyms and something I should have done a week ago. Today's cards are Girafarig, Smog Gym and Rage Gym.
Girafarig is an annoying little sucka'... much like Omaynte. It also has a desktop image for youse. Other than "The picture is not what you think", that all I have to say on it. Smog Gym prevents an over use of retreating. ... It's not a very useful card, that's why it's a common. I suppose I made it just for the image. Sna. Rage Gym would be a REAL problem card... doubles all damage. Whooo.... pair this up with Erika's Ivysaur, and you've got a lot of damage flying. ;) Stop by tomorrow for FOUR more fake cards. I'm sure you'll really like them... I consider the art of them much better than the popular Misdreavus card I drew a while back. ... I could have easily added them for today's update, but I needed something to add for tomorrow. ;) Let's see if I can get 5 of them in on Saturday. Hoo hah! |

More Crystal Rumor Bustin' |
Crystal Info - 1:00 PM PST |
||||||||
|
I am getting sick of these Crystal rumors. Another one that's going around is from Animetwork, and they say: "Nintendo has done a lot of stupid things in their time, but this has gone too far! Nintendo has decided to cancel Pokémon Crystal in the U.S. , Canada and Australia!! Why? Well, maybe Japan feels they should only have it. Little more info is know, I will keep you updated. Personally I think this is the most stupidest and horrid thing they've done. They bought yellow into the U.S. Why cant they bring crystal? its cooler! The graphics, the characters the pokemon locations and everything! Especially the fact that you can choose between a girl and a boy is the thing that upset most Americans." Pppfffttt... is anyone actually going to believe this rumor too? Considering that the game has sold over 1,000,000 units over in Japan (PokéMasters), Nintendo would be a fool to not release it here. Besides, since no source was listed, I'm pretty sure the person who wrote this probably heard it from a friend, who heard it from his friend, and so on, and so on... ... Wake up folks, Nintendo knows that Crystal for English simply yells "buy me!". Nintendo KNOWS how much cash they'd make if they released it in the States. They wouldn't pass up a deal like this if their lives depended on it. No matter what Nintendo or anyone else says in this stage of the game, Pokémon Crystal WILL be made. And it'll stay that way until it is finally released, or Nintendo make an official press conference saying that they won't. But neither has happened, so we can all safely assume that Crystal WILL be made. ... The only reason why they're no acknowledging it right now is because they want your expectation to be lowered on it at first, so you'll be thinking: "Man, Nintendo will never make Crystal." Then a few months later: WHAM!, they hit you with the "amazing" announcement that Crystal will be made. Master Trainers Mike and Pat at the Wizard Chat do this all the time. Kid: Any news on new promo cards? If they told you Crystal will be made like right now, right now you'd say: "Alright! That's cool!". However when it comes out, the novelty of Crystal will wear off, and for many people, they won't buy it. Companies know this, and that's why they don't hype things up much until at the right time. Once again though, tell this to ALL your friends... CRYSTAL WILL BE MADE. |

This list will at least give you insight at some new ideas that MAY make it into the next STS. Since the next one will be on the WC (HOPEFULLY somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area), you'll most likely see me in it. |

I'm back in the mix with a few new fake cards. Hoo hah! Today's cards are Hitmontop and Full Restore.
Hitmontop is finally made. Tyrogue isn't... still working on the blank for it. ... I'd rather wait until Neo 2 is out before I make Tyrogue. .... Hitmontop here is one heck of a relyable Pokémon. Trusty too. ... If your opponent hurt it, Hitmontop will hurt back. If your opponent doesn't touch it, then Hitmontop will STILL hurt it. You're going to do 60 or 70 damage if there is or isn't any damage counters on it. Good times. ... Toppy here also has a desktop for you. Just click on the "(Desktop)" link to see it. Personally, I'm impressed with Hitmontop's picture. My 3D skills are growing better every day. ;) Full Restore can come in handy for Hitmontop. Rather than risking it with 60 damage on Toppy to do 60 damage, Full Restore it and to 70 damage on a clean slate. ;) Stop by tomorrow for a POSITIVE 3 fake cards.... Girafarig, Smog Gym, and Rage Gym. Hoo hah! |

More STS Format Ideas |
TCG Info - 12:00 AM PST |
||||||
|
(First off, if you don't know anything about this new format deal, stop by the PokéGym for more info. Basically Dark Master Trainer Mike, a worker from Wizards of the Coast, has asked the folks at the PokéGym if there are any new format ideas on their minds. ... I posted mine a few days ago, both here and at the PokéGym, and boy do I have some good ones.) Updates.... well, the top brass as Wizards can't go through with my Paris/Mulligan idea, since it IS a rule change and not a rule addition. Sna. This time around, I have a new idea (sort of brought into place by Porygon of Borg and Dark_Starman from the 'Gym). Basically, the new formats SHOULD be what Magic has... Type 1; which is ALL the cards, Type 2; which is the last two block sets and last Base Set, and Block Set; which is the last block set. But my new idea goes beyond that. Now if the next STS does use a new format, I think the format SHOULD be Type 2, instead of anything else. Why? Well... Type 2 for Pokémon would be the last block set(s) and the last Base Set printed. But in order for this to work, Wizards should so something along the lines of the following. ... First, Wizards makes BS3, which is BS2 plus Fossil and Rocket. In the process, they take out at least Oak and Wiggly (along with other devilishly broken cards). Considering that BS2 took cards out, I'm pretty sure Wizards can take more cards out of BS3. Now this will undoubtedly be a player friendly set, as Wizards had mentioned. Next, at any time before BS3 (but BEFORE the next STS main event), Wizards announces NEW DCI sanctioned Tournament formats similar to Magic, which include Type 1, Type 2, and Block Set Formats. The DCI adopts these formats, and sanctioned tournaments begin playing in one of these formats. Then as soon as the next STS main even is announced, Wizards announce that the main event will be DCI Sanctioned, and in Type 2 (which at the time will be BS3, the Gym sets, and Neo sets). Tadah! With this, we'll have the bannings us hardcore players want, while not actually having the cards banned. I don't think Nintendo nor Media Factory can complain about this. ;) Hoo hah! |

Apple recently announced that MacOS X (the Mac upgrade both you and I have been waiting for) will be released on March 24th. So.... PA! will be "upgraded" on April 2nd to version 5. This will be the version of PA! which is one that uses NewsPro and other PERL stuff, which MacOS X takes full advantage of. So why will it be up later than MacOS X is released? I need some time for one part familiarize myself with the system upgrade, and I also need to work on the upgraded site graphics. (Layout and information will remain the same however.) So.... 3 months. I think you guys can wait a little bit for it. |

Pokémon Stadium 2 Info |
N64 Info - 12:30 AM PST |
|
I'm not too much of a big fan of N64, but what the heck. Thanks PMX! ;)  Certain people have mentioned that the name "Crystal" is not listed on the box. Here's my speculation on it. The box art seems to be a finalized shot of a PROTOTYPE box image. (Prototype means experemental, similar to Protoman from the MegaMan series [get it now?]). Thus, this box image is NOT official. Now the idea of it being merely a prototype box is proven more so by the box of Paper Mario found at the same site where the Stadium was at (http://ign64.ign.com/news/29582.html). If you ask me, a number of those pictures seems recycled from the ol' Super Mario World (like Bowzer and his Clown hover-thingy). Hmmm.... Given the idea that this box image is most likely STILL a prototype box shot, that means there's still room for Crystal to be easily added into the disclamier there in the bottom. ;) At this stage of the game, Nintendo does not to release ANY info on Crystal too early, most likely to prevent unwanted hype of the game (and to make is more desireable when they actually do announce the game). This is common business practice. Nintendo also did the same for Hey You, Pikachu and just about every other game you can think of. ... This also includes not refering to the game in a PROTOTYPE game shot. Now if anything, if Pokémon Stadium 2 does NOT mention Crystal still when it's officially released, I still doubt that Stadium 2 will still be incompatible with Crystal. I'll bet that in the English Crystal manual, it WILL mention that it's Stadium 2 compatible (even if Stadium 2 itself doesn't mention is). That's just about it. .... Crystal WILL be made, no matter that Nintendo says, and Stadium 2 WILL be compatible with Crystal, no matter what Nintendo says. And that's.... ROSS! |

Allllllso, I've got my prediction on what the card list will be for Neo 2. Neo 2 ala Pokémon Aaah! I ALSO have another prediction for Neo 2... some holo cards will stay holo, and some holo cards will be nonholo ONLY. This might as well be a good idea. |

As for my picks, here they are (the ones in blue are ones least likely to be made):
On a side one, ANY of these can still be good ideas for like a local tournament. They may prove to be fun and fair! Enjoy! ;) |

Are We Not Mon? We Are Devo! |
Fake Cards - 12:30 AM PST |
||||||
|
They tell us that... we lost our tails. ... Evolving up! From little snails... I say it's all, just wind and sails. Are we not Mon? We are Devo! Today's cards are Espeon and Umbreon.
Umbreon and Espeon... two new recruits to the Eon family. These two fit in PERFECTLY with the Fake Edition Eevee and Eon's. The Devo Pokémon Power is a staple for any regular Eon I make. Hee hee... Espeon... I'm not too fond of the picture. I really don't like it too much. You be the judge though. ... The card itself though, is OK though. The Psywaves attack is one of two of my attacks that target the Pokémon's Level (real Pokémon TCG cards don't have this as far as I know). ... Also, see where I made a Cut-And-Paste error on Espeon. I noticed that at the last minute, but was was too tired to fix it. Humph. I can't say the same for Umbreon. I LOVE the picture I did with it. The dark... mysterious... colors used, really brings out the coolness of the image. Hee hee! I also added a desktop image for youse folk who actually use them. Wheee! .... On a side note here, I was surprized at the number of people who actually LOVED the Magnemite/Magneton pictures I made. I personally think that they were my BEST ones yet. Umbreon is also right up there.
Tomorrow, I'm keeping up the TWO cards a day pattern with Girafarig and Corsola. ... Note though, I'm not purposly passing up Tyrogue. However Tyrogue requires a blank edit, and I'm to lazy to do it right now. |

New Mayakashi Edition Cards |
Fake Cards - 12:00 AM PST |
||||||

Two more fakes for you. Wheee! Today's cards are Magnemite and Magneton.
Magnemite and Magneton are the first of my cards to go through the type switches. Since in G/S, The Magne's are Electric AND Metal types, I decided to to the same for these cards. Magnemite is a simple little Pokémon... works on tossing threatening Energy cards. ... The image is done in 3D, but also done in the style of another one of my favorite artists, MC Escher. He does a LOT of mathmatical optical illusions and repeating patters. ... Magnemite here is SORT of in a repeating patter, but not entirely. It does screw up your eyes, I can say that much. ... Magnemite also has a quaint little desktop for your computer (as usual). Magneton is a cool little sucker. Simple two energy for 10 damage to EACH benched Pokémon (and 20 damage also). Of course the fact that it needs BOTH Metal and Electric energy may make it somewhat difficult to pull off... but not to hard. ... Ditto will have a field day with this one, no doubt. ;) Magneton also has an upgraded HOLO background style... sort of makes it look like it was actually scanned into the computer with a scanner. Hee hee. There's also a desktop picture for you also. ... Wheee! Two more fakes down, more to come. Stop by tomorrow for TWO new fakes, Umbreon and Espeon. Take it from me, the Umbreon picture will knock your socks off. Hoo hah! ;) |

New Mayakashi Edition Cards |
Fake Cards - 1:30 AM PST |
||||||
|
To sort of catch up from the last few days on fake card making, here's two new ones for you. Today's cards are Wobbuffet and Amulet Coin.
I'm doing a lot of number skipping, aren't I? Sna. ... Anywho... Wobbuffet is your #1 "scapegoat" Pokémon. It's sole purpose is to be attacked and knocked out. Mirror Coat takes care of the attacking part. You stick a knife in my back, and I'll stick one in yours. ;) ... Destiny Bond has a better use with Wobbuffet. You figure it out. Oh... this card also has a keen desktop image for you. Hee hee! Amulet Coin's effect is just the same as the real one... you if you win, you get double your money back, guarenteed. This time you get an extra prize for a knock out. But beware! This card has a new effect on it. Like "you can't use trainer cards for the rest of your turn" and "your turn ends immediatly" type effects, this one has a new "you can only have 1 of these cards in your deck". This prevents overuse of a certain trainer cards. Man, if Oak had this ability, then the game would be 100% better!! Heee hee! Stop by tomorrow and check out the ULTRA-KEEN Magnemite and Magneton cards I made. MegaX simple said this when he saw them: "WWWWHAHAWHHWHWWHHHHH!!!!!" Maybe you will too. ;) |

I'm not a man of excuses. However most of yesterday was spent either eating lunch with my relatives from Palo Alto, or taking advantage of Wards' Going-Out-Of-Buiness sales or some extra money I got. So... not much time was spent on updating the fan fakes. However I was able to get them done anyway, so check them out. Fan Made Fake Cards of 2001 More Fan Made Fake Card updates are planed later on this month and ultimatly this year. Keep sending them in at fakecards@nick15.com!! ... Don't see your cards (or don't see all of them)? Upset? Well, I got like 200 fake cards from you guys, and more are still coming in. As I learned last year when I do a large Fan Made Fake Card update, I can't do a lot in a single sitting. Which means I can only do so much and unfortunatly leave a lot of other cards out. ... The cards I posted on yesterday/today are ones I felt stood out above the rest. If you didn't see your cards there, it DOESN'T mean your cards suck. Just use this as an incentive to make more and better cards which WILL stand out amoung the rest. ;) |

Sunkern is another cards I drew in the style of Sumiyoshi Kizuki, my favorite REAL Pokémon TCG card artist. Sunflora is up next. Oh yeah... if you check out the Mayakshi Edition page, there'll be a list of new cards I have planned to be made soon. Hee hee, score. |

Punk Floyd: Dark Side of The Fakes |
Fake Cards - 1:00 AM PST |

|
[sings] I'll see you on the Dark Side of the fake... oooohhh ohhh! ... The lunitic is in my head... the lunitic is in my head... [slight pause] Now you Pink Floyd fans would have loved that... Anyway... today's fakes revolve around the dark side of Pokémon. Today's cards are Sneasle and Rocket Scientist.
Sneasle is a good one. I ALWAYS wanted to use that attack idea... "Rot". :D ... This card also has a giant desktop image for it too. Good times. Since Rocket Grunt and
Rocket General were SO popular... I decided to make Rocket
Scientist for today. Hee hee hee... what sort of devilish
plan does Team Rocket have for that test subject of a
Machoke? ... God, Pokémon abuse. I swear if THIS was
ever a real card, the image would be changed in a blink of
an eye. Not only is there blood... but there's cruelty to a
Pokémon. Ouch. This too has a huge desktop picture
for you also, for you sick fools who find pleasure in
harming a Pokémon. (Like I should talk.)
So wait... what's the point of Rocket Scientist again? Easy. RS allowes you to evolve your opponent's Active Pokémon to any other evolution they happen to have in their hand. Sound bad? Not really... think about it. Your opponent has a brutal Wigglytuff out as their active, but it has 60 damage on it. Then suppose they have a Base Kadabra in their hand. ;) Can you say "adios" to Wiggly? ;) Wow.. fakes 4 days in a row (technically). I'm on a roll here. ;) I'll see about getting even more Mayakashi fakes tomorrow again. Heck, I've already done MORE than a weeks worth of fake cards in 4 days. Hoo hah! |

I won't give you any more details of it (I've already said more than I wanted to), so I won't tell you any more about what it'll be about. (If you do know, DON'T TELL ANYONE!) But I'll let you in on a hint. Wanna know what I'm doing? Let THIS website do the talkin'. http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Darts/8734/ You read the link right...

Man I'm poppin' them up like... like... a person poppin' out desktop images. I got nothin'. Rocket Grunt/General is fun. It'll finally make even BETTER use for your Dark/Rocket Pokémon. These were cards which I wanted to make for so long. 'Bout time I did them. ... You know what... I want to make Team Rocket looks more dangerous and evilish than the bumbling and disrespectful to the Rocket name... Jesse and James. Pfffttt.... Well... Rocket Scientist and Rocket Executive are coming up. Take it from me, they WILL be QUITE the tricky ones. ;) I'll see about getting some MORE Mayakashi fakes tomorrow too. :P |

Speaking of hits, we're closing in on HALF-A-MILLION UNIQUE hits!! (Unique as in not having the counter on every page.) 500,000 UNIQUE hits would be a milestone for PA!.

Two new cards for you today... Round's End and Smeargle. Check them out first, and then I'll describe them more.
Let's see though..... Round's End is a nifty lil' Stadium, allowing you to be able to give your Pokémon some well needed healing at the cost of a turn. This is VERY handy when you've got a no-retreat deck. Smeargle is another card done in the style of my most favorite REAL Pokémon TCG artist, Sumiyoshi Kizuki (the one who drew TR Koffing, TR Slowpoke, etc). Smeargle also has a huge desktop image for you to use on YOUR desktop. Score! ... If you wanted to know... I decided to replace Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, the two Pokémon I was originally were going to do with Smeargle and Tyrogue. Mostly because I'm trying to focus on G/S Pokémon and I felt I didn't need to do Hitmonchan/lee again. Next up... oh... I'll do Rocket Grunt/General first, and maybe Pokémon too. I'll try to get these things up tomorrow. |

I know I have. ... Well if you didn't know already, the demo for Oni has been released two days ago. Hee hee! It's a mega 75.7 MB DL, but it's WELL worth it considering how GOOD this game's going to be. DL Oni Demo. Speaking of cool Mac (and allied) stuff, an offspring of the PowerPC chip developed by IBM and Apple will be seen in the next Nintendo system, GAME CUBE. This alone makes the system worth buying. ;) And THEN... (more Apple partiotism), Apple's Firewire technology (aka IEEE 1394) is also seen on Playstation 2, so this also may pave the way ro more PS2-Mac compatibility. ....Ah, I'm just cruzin' with my Macs. ;) (Note: YES, the IEEE 1394 or Firewire ports on your PS2 ARE Apple technology.

Dark_Starman from the PMB reports: Hey guys. I recently e-mailed Shawn Smith from WotC. He told me that there was going to be another STS, and it's on the West Coast. I'm sorry I can't post the e-mails but at the present hour Hotmail is being pretty cruddy. So in recap, next STS is going to be West Coast. Score once more! The next STS stops will be right here on the West Coast. Hopefully the main STS event will even be in San Francisco/José!! If it was, then that would be one mega score. That's all my rumors... |

Promo 30 IS Togepi |
Fake Blanks - 12:00 AM PST |

Yuppers! You've heard it here second! Promo #30 WILL BE Togepi.  Two reasons to prove this. One... on yesterday's chat, the Master Trainers refused to talk about if Togepi was real. The catch is on this one, when Team Hoax did their little Surfing Pikachu hoax at the 'Gym, the MT's were ready and willing to say that the card was a fake. ... For this reason, if Promo Togepi WAS a fake, then they would have easily said "Yup, that's not a real card." However, they refused to comment on it, which just proved it was real. Then two... I found it on eBay. Tee hee! ;) Here's a link: Promo Togepi Auction |

Dark Neo Blanks Mania |
Fake Blanks - 12:00 AM PST |
|
Well, I've finally reaped the rewards from my box of Neo. Whooo! Here's the Dark blanks. I'm not too impressed with them myself, but you be the judge. Nick15's Dark Neo Blanks! Then next up is Steel. After that, I'll be ready to revise my Mayakashi Edition cards, AND to start making some new ones. I've already got Pichu and Pikachu finished, but they too need to get a Neo overhaul before I post them. Good times. |

WotC Lay Offs |
News - 12:00 AM PST |
|
If you didn't know already, WotC has plans to lay off 100 people due to slow Pokémon sales (on top of other things). Opinion? No comment. These things happen. And before you know it, those folks will start working again. On a side note though... could "slow Pokémon sales" mean that the fad element of the Pokémon TCG is begining to shrink, leaving hardcore players to continue playing?? This may mean something big later on, I can tell. ..... Sna. |

Here's What's New for Today... • Grab a Holo
Card... 100% of the Time! / Your Non-Holo Rare
Days Are Over Comments: OH! Also... The average Fake Card maker NEEDS Humanist 521 to make their fakes look real. However, you need to buy it to get it (since it's copyrighted material). So... I've taken it upon myself to create a Humanist 521 LOOK-A-LIKE font. It would be 100% created by me, and it'll look ALMOST like Humanist 521, but it won't be Humanist 521 (which for as far as I know, is NOT illegal to do). This will solve all sorts of current problems of a lack of fonts for fake card making. ... The font will be called Cardext, and once I can figure out this new font maker of mine, I'll work on it right away. Hoo hah! BTW, just a reminder that Bwow Nation site isn't really for kids (it's aimed towards late teen to adults), so don't say I never warned you. |

Grab a Holo Card... 100% of the Time! |
Cheating - 12:00 AM PST |

|
(Thanks to pokefan1 from the Pojo's Message Boards for this info!) Check this out. Your days of grabbing a non-holo rare are OVER! Yessire! .... Remember how I was talking to you about patters in Gym Challenge's commons and such? Well, there's also a pattern in a box of cards when dealing with holo/nonholo rares. And if you know this pattern, then you can abuse it to get all the holo cards you ever wanted. When your card shop opens up a FRESH box of cards, the holos are in this order:
Each "X" represents a holo card. In each column, every 3rd pack is a holo rare. That means if you take the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th pack in each column, you WILL get a holo rare!! Watch out though, a number of people tried this and have been kicked out of their store. Don't say I didn't warn you!! Of course, other people say that some boxes have their packs shuffled, so there's no ABSOLUTE guarentee that this formula will actually work. Don'tr say I didn't warn you about that also. |

Neo New Blanks |
Fake Blanks - 12:00 AM PST |

|
Two new color sets have been completed, Psychic and Water. [complaining mode on] Now why does it take me so long to make them? .... It's not that it takes a long time to make them all. It only took me 6 hours to make 40 blanks. The deal is that it's just BORING making blanks. Copy, paste, copy, paste,... God, to waste 6 hours of my life to make 40 blanks is much more boring than watching grass grow. It was only during certain times were I had nothing to do that I made my blanks. Ugh.... then I've got Neo Gym to do also. Sheesh. Anyway, that's all for my rant. Pop on by the Blanks Section to DL the new Neo Genesis Psychic and Water blanks. Nick15's Neo Blanks! Oh, BTW. Dark and Steel blanks won't be made until I can actually GET some Dark and Steel cards. Which will be quite some time... (@_@) |

Here's What's New for Today... • I Got Nothin' / Really, I Don't! Comments: I don't have much of an update today, since last night and today was/will be spent working on a TV show called "Bwow TV". (Most of it was done debating whether or not to remove someone who's not funny from the show.) If you live in Pacifica, California, then you should check it out. It's on Public Access Channel 26.... usually Sundays at 9 PM. I'm also working on the site for the show. However I don't suggest you visit it since it's not really for you kiddies out there in Internet Land. But if you REALLY want to see it, stop by http://www.bwownation.com/. I'll see about getting some keen stuff for tomorrow. Stuff like Promo info for the next Pokémon Movie, and theories on it (like how I'll probably be stuff like CoroCoro Wooper or Jynx or something). Then there's also the part where I have to friggin' redo the Pokémon Village Top Site links, so smeg. (@_@) |

Sna. If you didn't know already, I plan to revise both my Fake and Mayakashi Editon fake cards, mostly with newer blanks and other tweeks (like fixing Wooper's name). I plan to replace the outdated blanks with the new "Regular" style blanks on Fake Edition, and use Neo blanks on Mayakashi. Score. Well, I did a number of them, but I won't FULLY show you the revisions until I've finished them all. This won't take too long. Then after I'm done revising (and making Neo blanks), I'll start up Mayakashi again. Wheee! Anyway, here's some examples of what's the come. Note: The Jesse and James' badges will get fixed up a bit. Also, don't bother pointing out that Rocket's fluffy Pokémon aren't in Gym format. I did that on purpose (plus I don't have Neo Gym made up yet). Sna. Oh well, that's an idea of what's the come. I got nothin'. |

New Neo Blanks |
Fake Cards - 1:00 AM PST |

[grumbles] Well, I've updated a good number of older Neo blanks and made some new ones. I've covered the "American" style, both Classic and Dark bordered blanks for Grass, Fire, Colorless, Fighting, and Lightning. I would have done more but I'm too sleepy. I mean one person making 40 blanks from scratch in one night is pretty darn good if you ask me. Tiring too. .... I got nothin'. One a side note, I'm not too impressed with the blanks myself.... particularly the dark ones. Maybe it's because I'm my own critic. Bah. The borders on the Dark cards don't look all that dark to me. More metalic if anything. I'm not about to go back and fix them right now... sna. Nick15's Neo Blanks! |

PROMO Marill IS Real (Part 2) |
TCG News - 1:00 PM PST |
|
(If you haven't seen the new Promo Marill card, click here: Promo Marill) Next... just more stuff to show that it's real. 1. Check up eBay and search for "promo marill". You should get at least 50 or more different Promo Marill auctions. Numbers don't lie! 2. For those who still think it's fake, stop by the PokéGym and see THEIR Promo Marill info. 3. For those who still think it's fake, Dark Master Trainer Mike of WotC had officially confirmed the card as real: "Errors! None on this card. This is just the first time you have seen the new format. Okay. Maybe the water energy thingy...but the rest is exactly as we designed it to be." 4. For those of you who STILL think it's fake... then you're in denial. Snap out of it! ... Volcano Ninetales from the PokéGym brings up a good point as to why the Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost looks the way it does: As for the card format - perhaps WotC plan to use the horizontal alignment for "normal" cards, and vertical for Gym, it would make sense, and maintain the pattern set by previous sets. Yes, it does make a lot of sence. ;) |

Here's What's New for Today... • PROMO Marill AND THE NEO DESIGN REVEALED!! / SCORE!! Comments: Side Note: Right now in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker news, the tapes that will be released in the US (or has been released in Canada) are the CUT versions! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you DO NOT buy the tape! That is unless you do support the unnecessary butchering of movies like the WB has done with Batman Beyond (which I hope you don't support). (Click here if you want to read the details of what was cut from the movie.) If you want to watch BB:ROTJ on pain and death, then RENT it. DO NOT buy the tapes, NO MATTER WHAT! Boycott the WB for this horrendous act! Now on the plus side, rumor has it that the WB may be releasing the uncut version of the ill-gotten movie. WB representative Jean H MacCurdy says: "Definitely STILL a chance, we won't have an answer till after the first of the year." If and when the uncut version is released (which may be around December 2001), THAT'S when you should buy BB:ROTJ. But not until then. If you want to check out on Batman Beyond news, pop by Ain't It Cool News. They've got more BB info that I'll ever have right now. Oh, and don't forget to sign the above petition to have the uncut version released! (Read the "Daily Reminders" above.) That is all. Be sure to see a BB:ROTJ rant sometime later on. |

PROMO Marill AND THE NEO DESIGN REVEALED!! |
TCG News - 12:00 AM PST |
|
(Thanks a BILLION to Togetic from the PA! Forums!!) Promo Marill AND the Neo Design has been revealed on auction! (What else should I say?) THIS IS NOT A HOAX!!! Score!! And to prove that I'm NOT making this up, here's one of the Promo Marill auction links. See, I'm not lying! (I never lie!) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=520321070 .... So, what's different from a Neo Genesis card and a regular (WotC) card? • HP is somewhat
smaller and is colored black instead of read. Then what's different from a Neo Genesis card and a Japanese Neo card? • It's in English
(duh) That's just about it. [opinion mode] I'm interested in the new design. I'm also interested that the HP is black and not red. But otherwise, it's pretty cool... has sort of a Japanese Neo and American Classic card design mix. I have a feeling that Wizards kept the Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost positions to keep in par with their original format design. The original Japanese card's W/R/RC positions were in the same places as in Neo (position being in the lower left hand corner of the card), except for the addition of the little swirls. Basically having WotC leaving the W/R/RC placements it in the same place is EXACTLY what Media Factory did when they made Neo (which was leaving it in the same place as it always was). So there's no need to bust an artery over it. Besides, I don't care if the design is different (or not as different, depending on your opinion), because the cards do EXACTLY the same things no matter what it looks like. And when you're a game player like me, it's what the card does that allows you to win a game, not what what it looks like. Who cares if it doesn't look like the Japanese Neo? Now some people may think it's a fake. I don't. Why? For the past millions of times when somes came along, I would have thought it was fake, just because it didn't fit what was already around at the time. GB Promo Meowth, the Gym: Heroes list... a lot of these, just because they didn't seem right, I thought it was a fake. I even "proved" a number of them to be fakes, but they it still turned out that they were real. People thought Dark Raichu (both Rocket and Neo 2) was a fake, but it was a real. People thought a number of things were hoaxes, but they turned out to be real. This promo Marill, no matter what you say, is REAL. 100%. And I'd just LOVE to see the faces of you out there who think's it's fake when you realize that it's real. With this promo Marill, I'm thinking otherwise. Why? Well, mainly because of those other things I thought they were fake which turned out to be real. Secondly (and this is a good one), other than stuff that I (or the Echidna) have made, has ANYONE on the internet today actually seen fake news?? Not at all!! All the fake news has came from me (trust me, I'm past that stage). And I'll bet that if I never entered the world of Pokémon, no one would have seen fake Pokémon news. (Thanks to me, people are more skeptical about things.) This Marill would still have been hot news, no matter what I did. And then three, I've seen it on at least two different auction sites, and more will follow as time progresses. Just pop by eBay, and type in "Promo Marill" and then see what you get. I found 4 different, individual auctions at eBay alone. And again, just because it's different, it doesn't mean it's fake! I mean the differences between Neo Genesis and the regular card designs are no different than the regular card designs and the format when Pokémon FIRST came out (the cards that had non-bold HP and a nonshadowed border). Anyway, this Marill is real. End of story. |

NO ONE Can Win a Birthday Pikachu!! (Joke) |
Silly Error - 12:08 AM PST |
|
(This tid bit was brought to my attention by PokePop at the PokéGym MB) You heard me right... NO ONE can win the blasted card. Why? Well, we all know you have to print out the entry form in order to enter the contest, right? Well, in the rules for the contest is says (and I quote): No copies, facsimile or mechanical reproductions of original entry form will be accepted. Printing out the form from your printer is a "mechanical reproduction" of the original .PFD entry form, so [gasp!] your entry won't be accepted!! Dagnabbit! So close... and yet... so far... [ending joke mode][entering serious mode] Seriously for a second... I think what the rules are talking about is that if you printed it out and HANDWRITTEN in your information (meaning you actually wrote it out with a pen or pencil), then that's OK. But if you make a photocopy of what you wrote (and thus is not written out at all), then THOSE won't be accepted. That makes more sense. OK... Ta-tah! |

Yesterday I finished up the Safari Zone spoiler set, and I also asked you to send in any errors you've seen. Well, a number of you sent me some, and I fixed them!

If you want to redownload the fixed cards, here's the list (along with what was fixed): Aerodactyl (Bad
HP size and other touch ups) Phew! That's a lot. If you want to get the freshest version of the card, that's the list of what was changed. The description was added to see if you really wanted to waste the time to redownload it or not. "Spot The Mistake!" is still going on, because I'm pretty sure that there are still a number of errors in the set. So if you look though my Safari Zone cards and find a mistake on it (like misspelling, misplaced text, etc), and then email me about it so that I can fix it! What fun!

Not in the mood to download Adobe Acrobat Reader so you can read the cool new stuff in that "Neo Genesis Rules" file? Well, I've taken the liberty to convert the ENTIRE thing (copyright and avertisements too) into HTML format. Score, huh? But because I did this, it's still not an excuse to avoid downloading the REAL Neo Genesis Rules Guide. In fact, I suggest you do it instead of reading this cheap imitation! Go! ... OK, if you're ready, check out the HTML version of the Neo Genesis Rules Guide. It looks better on a Mac since all the fonts are correct (well, more or less). If you're on a PC, the original font is instead replace with those cheap, imitation fonts Microsoft uses... like Comic Sans MS and such. Oh well.... enough rambling. ...

Neo Genesis, TWO Dates? |
TCG Gossip - 2:11 AM PST |
||||
|
(Thanks to the PokéGym for this handy tidbit.) One rumor says that Neo will be out on December 16th. Another one says that it'll be out January 15th. So who's right? BOTH OF THEM! Viewers: "Huh?" Well yeah! Technically both those dates are correct, Neo will be out on both of those days. How? Well, here's how it was explained to me. Certain card shops already have SOME boxes of UNLIMITED Neo Genesis right now, with orders to release them on the 16th of December (or stop releasing them on the 16th, I don't know). The deal is that whoever has those boxes only have a limited supply (say 2 to 3 boxes or so), and they have nothing else (no preconstructed decks, or anything else). This is in order to hype up the set for some really anxious buyers with money burning a hole in their pockets. WotC calls this a "teaser release". It sure the heck is teasing my pocket book. Of course, since there is a limited supply, that "teaser release" won't be around for much time. Probably by December 17th, it'll be all gone. Then on January 15th, 2001, this is when Neo'll be "OFFICIALLY" released to the public. By "officially" I mean there will be preconstructed decks avalible, and the packs will be in 1st Edition too. So technically, all of those rumors on Neo's release date were all 100% true. Freaky, ain't it?? :P |

Here's What's New for Today... • Neo News
Mania! / Oh yeah! Comments: BTW, [sings] 25 days left 'till Christmas! Ah yeah, it's everyone's favorite religious holiday (next to Chanukah, lousy 8 days of gifts). Oh well. Also, if you're sending fake cards, you can send as many as you want! Also, I ONLY accept .JPG, .GIF, and .BMP files (or Macintosh PICT files too). If they're not any of those, don't send them. I've also made a "PA! Version 5 Hype" page, to sort of give you an idea of what I have planned for PA! in the near future. Check it out, it's in the side bar. |

Neo News Mania! |
TCG News - 12:00 AM PST |
|
For those of us who rather suffer insomnia to see this wilde event, it was well worth it.... espeically us West Coast'ers, who technically didn't need to stay up as late to check it out. Hoo hah! Let's see what's in the magic bag here... Uhm... probably should
wait a while, since WotC hasn't updated yet. Hey, you get to
watch me update! ...... Actually there is SOME Neo Genesis news floating on the internet right now. Word has it the set WILL be 111 card. Huh? The original Japanese set was only 96 cards. Yes... but there's more: 96 <--- Original Japanese Neo card size Yeah, WotC has added the 9 cards from the 9-Card Promo set into the... set. Whoo! We might see the same thing with Neo 2 & 3. Hoo hah! |

Site Gossip - 12:00 AM PST |

It's about time I mustared up enough energy to ketch-up with myself. Oh, how I've relished this moment. [end bad condiment joke] Today I've scored 17 new cards for the Safari Zone (aka Vending Machine) set translation. Hoo hah! I pretty much cover all the uncommons, except for about 6. Tomorrow, I'll have the rest of the uncommons finished and a number of the commons as well. Then for Sunday I'll finished the set. See, I told you I'd finish it by the weekend! ;) (Also, check out the Safari Zone Un-FAQ) |

G/S Clock Mania |
Game Boy - 1:22 AM PST |

Made a mistake in your Pokémon G/S time thingy? Well, there's a neat little function that allows you to reset your clock. Here's how... - When you start up your G/S game, when you see Lugia/Ho-oh, press down + select + B. DON'T PRESSUP + Select + B, since it'll reset your GAME. Hoo hah! |

That's where you send in your fake cards and I put them on the site! Whee hee! The deal is, over the next month, send in your fake cards to fakecards@nick15.com. Then on January 1st, 2001, I'll update the Fan Fake section with your fake cards! Wheee! So don't hesitate! Send in
your fake cards right away! See your name in PA!
fame! (Disclaimer: Due to the great number of submissions and the limited time I personally have to add them to the site, some cards won't be added to the Fan Fake section.

This time around I finished a number of Uncommon and Common cards, particularly those who are the pre-evolutions of the rare Pokémon I already did. Man...

WITH POP3 email support! [grumbles] That means that if I set up an account (which I have), I CAN recieve email. Whoo.... So... now if you want to email me, send your email to pokemon@nick15.com! (Remember though, I may not be able to reply to all your email.) Oh, and I plan to update my Neo 3 sections with some better card scans. And maybe if I feel like it, I'll do set translations for Neo 3 like what I'm going with the Vending Machine set--- er... the Safari Zone set! Hoo hah! |

Here's some more Safari Zone (aka Vending Machine set) edition cards for you. I've finished up the rares, and made a bonus cards... Pikachu! Yes, otherwise known as Promo #27 Pikachu. The promo Pikachu originally came from this set. However since I didn't want to break the even number of 108 cards in the set (as said in my original Safari Zone fake advertisement), I decided to not take it out. (And since it is a promo card, that's probably why I turned it into an uncommon instead of a common.) Enjoy! |

Hopefully before Monday, I'll have the Rares also finished for you. At this rate, I'll probably have the whole set finished in about oh... a week or two. Then it'll be ready for you to DL and play with. I personally plan to just print them out and show them off in my rares binder. :D Enjoy! |

Vending Machine Set Update |
||
|
Remember that Vending Machine edition I was talking about a while back? (If not, pop by the Vending Machine Info page right there in the side bar.) Anywat, I was thinking.... right now WotC is still mulling over whether they should translate the Vending Machine set or not. It's getting quite tedious, since there are a number of cool cards found in the set (ie Haunter). So.... while WotC is thinking, I've decided to translate the set for them! You heard me, PA! will be the first site in history to translate an ENTIRE Japanese card set into English cards before WotC does. WOW! Now what I've done is went ahead and named the set SAFARI ZONE, since the name Vending Machine won't fly very well in English. (Don't bother mentioning that a number of Pokémon from VM aren't found in the real Safari Zone. I mean... Moltres is not a fossil, but it's in the Fossil set, right??) I've already designed the packs a long time ago. Just yesterday, I've organized the set into Commons, Uncommons, Rares, and Holo-Rares, and numbered each card. Also yesterday, I made a number of cards for the set (7 to be exact). I'll have more of them as time goes on. Hopefully soon enough, I'll have the entire set translated into card form and ready for you to download and play with. Cool, huh? So now... stop by the Safari Zone Card List page to check out all the cards I've made so far and the card list for the set. Whoo! (I've really out done myself this time! ;) |

That's why we haven't had much info on Neo 3 recently. ;) That's just about it... it seems that this Neo set revolves around the 3 legendary beasts (like Fossil was for the 3 legendary birds), and will include ooh... mysterious and powerful Pokémon. I sure can't wait for it to come out! Then with that tid bit, check out this web site for Neo 3 info, like card scans, other images, and info on what's in the set! |

Whoo! Yes, instead of having to deal with that regular GIF file which is not very useful in Photoshop, I've got a really cool symbol sheet made especially for Photoshop users (and possible PSP, I'm not too sure). Plus they're better quality than the GIF ones, since basically they haven't been dithered and it's in millions of colors. Hoo hah! (400K-ish) |

(AKA Project Free Advertising) I get this email from a Jonathan from www.liquid-idea.com about a Pokémon game he wants to add to my site. Hoo hah! It seems that the game is official material commissioned by Warner Brothers for the launch of Pokemon the First Movie on DVD. Cool, huh? He wants me to put it on the site for some free advertising. So I say, what the heck, why not? The game is quite addictive, basically what you're trying to do is capture falling Pokémon and preventing them from hitting the ground to their deaths. [gasp] But enough about the game... let's talk about me! :P OK, before you play the game, you need to download the Shockwave player onto your computer. It's free, and it costs nothing. To download it, pop by: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download If you've got your Shockwave downloaded, click below to begin playing the game. Hoo hah! |

A Couple of Pointers |
||||||
|
Just a couple of ideas and foot notes.... since I can't get to my email (because of that stupid ISP problem of mine), I'll just make a few announcements here. To the PA! Staff Guys: Sorry I can't contact you about any work. Right now, all I can ask you to do is just keep on working on stuff that I hired you for, and I'll keep on working on stuff for you on my side (like the layout for the Pokédex and such). Then when I can get all this stuff up on the site, I'll have a lot of material from you to add to the things. But other than that, just keep on working, and I apologize that I can't get in contact with you. Now tomorrow I'll have some new blanks for you from the Blanks Workshop (probably Dragon and Poison), I'll also update the Flash sidebar for those extra sections I've added in the past fortnight. Also, after I finished the Dragon, Poison, Sand, and Diamond blanks, I'll probably work on some new blanks ideas (sort of like Duel blanks or something). Probably also when Neo: Genesis comes out in English in a few months, I'll probably make Neo blanks. If you have any suggestions on what I should do, pop by the PA! Forums, I'm open for suggestions. Also, to the guy who suggested the Sand and Diamond blanks, I didn't want to do "Lava" since Fire is lava, and I didn't want it to seem redundant. ... Sort of makes Sand seem sort of useless since Sand and Ground are the same... I'll figure something out. Ooh, and I've also got some MayakashiEdition cards for you tomorrow, pop by to see them. Oh, and my hoax secrets will remain that, a secret. I know a number of you are wondering how I did =that last hoax, but for right now, I'm going to keep it a secret. ;) OK, that's it for announcements for right now. |

Uri Geller Rant |
||||||
|
El yawn-o.... the famous "psychic" Uri Geller is suing Nintendo because he said they used his name on a Pokémon, Yun Geller (aka Kadabra from Japan). Uri says that Yun Geller resembles Uri a lot (because of the spoons), make Uri Geller look "devilish" and "evil", and it "disrespects" the line of work Uri Geller is in. Pshaw, I say. If your line of work is a psychic, I say prepare to be "disrespected". Psychic are just a bunch of actors, I can bend spoons by wiggling it in my hands (wiggling it liquefies the object, it's common physics). Aside from that, bending spoons is not Geller's MO (uhm... special symbol). Bending spoons is your "psychic standard", as in ALL psychics do it, not just Geller. He can't say that Yun Geller is Uri Geller because of the spoon. To make matters of this situation, reporters (and I'm sure Uri does too) claims that Kadabra is a "symbol of Nazi hatred" because of the star on it's forehead resembles the star the Nazi's gave the Jewish to determine they're Jewish, and the stripes on it's chest resemble the the logo of the Schtzsaffel, or the "SS". PSHAW! I say! Now it doesn't help that Uri Geller is Jewish (seriously, it doesn't help defend his case)... but... First of all, in all SERIOUS thinking, why would Nintendo do something of the sort, like make references to the Nazis in subliminal messages of this sort. There are more Nazis in the States than in Japan. (@_@) Secondly, NONE of these symbols resemble anything the Nazis did at all. The Star of David (which is the star that the Jewish normally use, and was also the star that the Nazis used to point out Jewish people) is a SIX cornered star. Kadabra's star is a FIVE cornered star. Five and Six are two totally different number. I hardly would consider that offensive to the Jewish population. As for the stripes down Kadabra's chest... you be the judge.
Do they look alike to you? Unless you're blind, your answer would probably be NO. Kadabra's streaks are more smoother than the "lightning bolts" of the SS symbol. And it being smooth makes all the difference in a technicality case. Uri Geller has GOLD DIGGER written all over his face, Him, like so many people in the past (remember www.pokemonkills.com?) just wants to get a cut of Pokémon's popularity, since they're just to lazy to earn money for themselves. Personally, I don't think Geller has a case. First off, the literal pronunciation of the Japanese name is "Un Geraa". If Uri Geller is suing because it SOUNDS like his name, why not sue ever back in the world of the use of the name "Automated TELLER Machine"? Plus, I'm sure there is a Mr. Pikachu out there in the world (there is one in Macon, Georgia actually), and I don't hear that guy suing. If anything, Nintendo can call is a coincidence, provided that the Mr. Pikachu steps up in Nintendo's defense. Heck, if Geller wins, I'll have my name legally changed to Mewtwo and then sue Nintendo for damage to my self-esteem. Hahahahahah! Now if this man was a reasonable person, he's understand that Nintendo (if anything) used his name with a level of awe and respect, like a tip-of-the-hat to Geller's work. Sort of like Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee's name came from Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (respectively). Unfortunately, Geller thinks he can grab some cash from this tip of the hat, which is very sad. Oh well... hopefully this'll all blow over. No real loss to the consumers. |

New Hoax: Pocket Monsters SF Beta |
||
|
If you guys didn't know, I like making hoaxes. Heee! But I don't try to trick people with them any more. Oh no, those days are long gone. These days, I just make hoaxes just to entertain people with without having to trick them. I really don't need to, they're cool just looking at how real they hare. Hoo hah! OK, enough with the cute little disclaimer... on to the hoax! And remember, EVERYTHING BELOW THE LINE IS NOT REAL!! IT'S ALL FAKE!! One of my friends, who lives in Hong Kong, sent me a quite interesting email about something he found. Here's what he wrote: hey phil Sure shooting, attached to the email were three pictures of the game! One of them was a cartridge shot and the other two were screenshots from the ROM. Take a look: 
Now yes, it is Pokémon on Super Famicom (aka Super Nintendo). But the deal is... this looks like a Beta version of a game that never happened. So now what's a "beta version"? A beta version of a program or a game is a semi-working copy of the game, before it's officially released. It's used to test out differenet things of the game, find bugs in the programing, etc. Then when everythings fixed, it's finished up and shipped as a "Final" version. Something like this happened about a year ago with "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", where someone who lived in Hong Kong discovered the beta version of the game. But what's
interesting about this is is that there was no Super Famicom
version of Pokémon. Actually, the first
Pokémon game was for Game Boy. I'm guessing that
Nintendo was going to make one, then canceled it at the last
minute. Hmmmm.... New Info: I did a little research on some Japanese sites on this, and I discovered a number of things. Let's see... • There was a going to be Pokémon game for Super Famicom, slated to be released on January 1995. It was to try to boost flatering Super Famicom sales. Unfortunatly, Nintendo decided to axe the project and continue it on Game Boy (as Pocket Monsters Red and Green). There was only one advertisement seen in Japanese magazines under it's SF version. There were some scans of the advert on one of the site, but they were just too blurry and compressed beyond recogntion. Here's one of them just to show you: Now as to why the project was axed, I have no idea. I'm guessing that since N64 was around the corner, Nintendo fealt that they didn't need to make any new games for Super Famicom, so the project was switched over to Game Boy. This a pity though, it sure would look cool on Super Famicom/SNES. So how did my friend get it? It's common practice among video game makers to dispose of any beta copies they may have. Some times, those beta copies are smuggled out before they're disposed of, or are retrieved later on. Either way, they are packaged and sold as the real deal on the black markets of Asia. That's how some guy discovered the beta version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This is really a wonderful discovery, since now we can unlock all the different Pokémon secrets, like what Pokémon didn't make it to Red/Green and such. Mmmm... good times. |

 Score! WotC's Pokémon site has just officially announced the release of the next Pokémon TCG set, Neo: Genesis. The logo for Neo: Genesis is seen above. The "Neo" part is the name of the 3 set series. Meaning... the next set will be called something like "Neo: Ruins", and the one after will also have the "Neo" name, all with that snazzy "Neo" style title. Cool, huh? Also, this may some to a relief for most of you... on WotC's Pokémon site, the news bit specifically said "The Pokémon trading card game will release three Neo card sets in 2001 featuring never-before-seen Pokémon." Tadah! Meaning that Neo: Genesis will NOT be released this December, if anything, next January or even February 2001. Hoo hah! Plus... the news bit also gave you a bit of a teaser... it tells you to come back on December 1st to the WotC's Pokémon site for more info. Not only will that day have new Neo news for you (wow, that rhymes!), my sources indicate that that'll also be the day when WotC's does a FULL SITE MAKEOVER for their Pokémon site! Hoo haha! It'll also be a chance to grab a "Birthday" Pikachu also! WOW!!! ... Stay tuned to Pokémon Aaah! for more Neo: Genesis info and such to come. |

Now What's In Store? |

Well, before my internet connection gets disconnected, I've decided to take a number of you people's advice and go hog wild with some fake cards and new blanks and such. I still have a great number of blanks to give you, like Bug, Ice, and Dragon, along with some new Mayakashi Edition cards. All this will be done as quickly as possible. Also, since even though I don't have access to the internet at my home, it doesn't mean I don't have internet access at all. I may use a very old Geocities account that I signed-up for back in 1996 (has it been 4 years alread?), which I can use as a temporary spot to update PA! with. Of course, it won't have the full site since Geocities only allows me to story up to 11 megs of info there, and PA! is 153 megs large. (@_@) But it will have some recent news. And again, let me reassure you that PA! is NOT dead, and that all of this internet problems will only be for a short while. It's just a little set back. Blah-dios! |

Prop15/3C.... For One Event ONLY?? |
||
|
D'oh... well, for those of you who don't like Prop15/3C (I see nothing wrong with it), you might be interested in this little tid bit. At the PokéGym Forums, MT Mike (from the WotC Chats) said something interesting about Prop15/3C at the East Coast STS and how long it'll last: The 15/3c proposal was primarily made (for this ONE event only) to encourage thinking and originality. Is it perfect? Of course not! We are hampered in many ways though, by what is possible (we don't own the game, must be easily deck checked, can't change game rules, etc.). What does this mean? Well, Prop15/3C will be seen in and ONLY at the East Coast STS in New Jersey. By the looks of it, it won't see the day light in another DCI-Sanctioned tournament ever again.... at least not anytime soon. MT Mike also mentioned that the TCG will get "shook up" when Neo comes out. I wouldn't doubt it for the slightest... when you take a look at some of the cards found in it, it does even out the environment very well. Wigglys and Trapper decks are no longer effective. Score. Next, "Dark" Master Trainer Mike (a different Mike) posted this about Prop15/3C at the Pojo's Message Board: Some of you are under the false impession that 15/3 was designed to eliminate Hay/Wiggly from the environment. This is not the case. We designed 15/3 for a lot of reasons but this is not one of them. Right on. |

Hee hee! Well, I took a number of people's advice and decided to make totally new type blanks. To be released over time will be Ghost, Poison, Ice, Dragon, and Bug blanks (all in American & Gym styles with Classic & Dark Borders). Then afterwards, I'll probably be making reverse holos, probably. On Halloween day (that's tomorrow), I'll be releasing the Ghost blank, along with making a Ghost Type Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, and the Ghost Energy card. These won't be part of the Mayakashi Edition, so they'll be in my Other Fakes section. Now all of these new blanks will appear in a new section in the sidebar, called the "Blanks Workshop". That will be a page for blanks that won't appear in the Pokémon TCG at all. Sort of going above and beyond the regular blanks. Or something like that. I'll probably also make a background section, with realistic backgrounds. I don't know about that one... |

WotC Rep Officially Announces NEO |
||||||||||
|
Dark Master Trainer Mike, a WotC representative who frequently visits the PokéGym, announced on the PokéGym Forums about a slightly vague, yet very important tidbit on Neo. Thus quoteth DMTM: Wizards of the Coast will be releasing Neo TCG products within the next few months. Release dates for these products are still to be determined. Within the next few months? Does this mean we might see Neo 1 in December, Neo 2 in February, and Neo 3 in April?? Could we also see a WotC/MF combined set in fall 2001?? [Yiddish accent] Who knows? ... WotC Representatives did mention they are trying to play catch-up with the Japanese TCG sets... hmmm..... He does mention that the release dates for the Neo sets are still being determined. This may mean that Neo 1 will not necessarily be released in December. I'm sort of iffy on that fact though.... it's cool that they release Neo 1 in December, and it's not cool to release it so close to Challenge. [grumble....] Then with Magic's Invasion set, I can hardly afford to keep up (cash wise). Humph. Now.... Taking a look at last Thursday's WotC chat, it doesn't seem like there is much info on it available. HOWEVER, I did get the impression that the Neo sets will be mixed, like Gym: Heroes/Challenge was compared to Japanese Gym 1/2. I mean, how will WotC manage to squeeze in the 9 promo sets from Neo 1 & 2? Hmmmm? Plus there's also the bit where Dark Raichu was released in Neo 2... we already have it, so why add it to American Neo 2? So... there might be a high chance that the Neo sets will be mixed for their American release. Think about it! More on this as my tongue unfolds. |

The picture for Magmar is one of my favorite pictures I've ever drawn... but the mouth is a bit too big. Oh well. The card I'm not too impressed of, but then what do you expect from an Uncommon card? ... Poison Darts is the one in 3D, but I'm not to impressed by the picture either. The card is ok... it's a common... so it's not too powerful. Remember, I'm trying to make this set as realistic as I can get, meaning crappy commons will be in it too. Hmmmm.... oh well, Onix and Steelix are up next. And boy do I have something cool for these two. |

It's a good cause on the behalf of ALL animation fans all over North America. Gadzooks! One of my favorite cartoons on TV today, Batman Beyond, we going to have a made-for-video movie that was going to turn the American Animation world upside down. It was going to be called "Return of the Joker", and it was going to have people dying and blood and stuff (which is something you'd never though you'd see in an AMERICAN cartoon). (Now although I don't really condone violence in a kids cartoon, I just want to point out that this movie really wasn't supposed to be aimed towards pre-teen, mainly ages 13 and older.) It was going to be released today, however the suits at the WB saw it and pushed it ahead to December... TO CENSOR IT!! I can't believe they were going to censor one of the potentially greatest American cartoon movies ever!! Aaargh!! I mean Japanese Anime is running circles around American Cartoons. Something like Return of the Joker would have really gave Anime-fans a second take at Cartoons... something I'd like to see. How can I put this.... OK, having the WB censor Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is like having Dragon Ball Z and Gundam Wing censored. You people who love those shows would hate to see the censored version, right?? Well now you know how I feel! Now since you know how I feel about all this, can you guys do me all a favor and sing this petition saying how you want to have an UNCENSORED version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker release? (If anything, have a "Censored" and "Uncensored" version of the movie for both kids and fans alike.) Please?

Can't. ... Sna. --- Read the Daily Reminders, and that's all for the day. |

[gasp] There's a message in my Alpha-bits cereal.... it says "Oooooooo...." [everyone out there in Internet Land] Nick, those are Cheerios. Anyhoo... today is Friday the 13th (spooky!). What makes it even more [gasp] scary is that this month is October. [gasp again] Woah. Ok... Here's what's new for today, site wise: --- Today's the day when I debut my [slight pause] Gym blanks! Yes, that's today! And today's the day! Just pop by the Make Your Own Fake Cards! section to download them. More in fake cards blankness news stuff... also found in the MYOFC! section are: an updated symbols page, a holo sheet for holo rares (one I made myself), some Gym leader badges, a Stadium (Trainer) card blank, and... (finally) preconstructed packs for ALL the files that you can download at the MYOFC! section. Hoo Yes, it's about time I redid the Preconstructed Packs. How many fake sites do THAT? ... What a minute, are there OTHER fake card sites? [pauses to think about it] ... Next in line are the Steel blanks (Dark and Gym and whatever versions, also gives me another excuse to make "Steel this blank" jokes).... and then my own Neo blanks, since that's what all the people seem to like to use. Hmmmm... Other than this, I... I... I got nothin'. --- Read the Daily Reminders, and that's all for the day. |

Hmmmm.... still been pretty busy lately. I'm still working hard on the Gym blanks. These will appear in the Make Your Own Fake Card section sometime tomorrow. Also planned for the
MYOFC section (maybe as a separate addition), a
"Tips" section, for all you aspiring fake card makers. It'll
list all sorts of tips and tricks for fake card making from
the ONE and ONLY fake card master (that's me
if you didn't know already Also, more Mayakashi Edition cards coming your way this weekend. Oooh, this is gonna be sweet. --- In other news, reports have been flying in all over the place that Pokémon Gold & Silver has been shipping early!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!! This will effect those of you participating in the Main Event at the East STS in New Jersey on November 18th, 2000. The following may shock, you, it may even amaze you. ... So here goes nothing, straight from the PokéGym and their anonymous contact, it's the deck rules for the East STS. [a quite hush]
And there we are. The OFFICIAL Deck Building Format Explanation for the East STS. Those of you may cringe at the fact that you can only have 15 trainers and use only 3 of the same card per deck, but hey... that's the way it goes. This is the price for a more EVEN and BALANCED tournament format. Hoo haaa! That's just about all I have for today. Right now I'm busily working on Gym Blanks, and when I have those done, I'll have more Mayakashi and Metropolitan Masters fake cards to show you. Toodles!! |

Oh, speaking of news, a WotC employee announced that December 1st, WotC's Pokémon site will be getting a total make over... and on that day, you'll be able to sign-up to recieve your very own Birthday Pikachu! Wow! ... There is more info on this somewhere, I'm positive of it. I'll be back later with it. ... OK, I've finally appointed a GS Pokédex Writer, along with a Walkthrough writer and GS Item Info writer. Score! Now all we need is a hardworking RBY Pokédex writer, then we'll be in business! Now in other site news, I've just received some new material for the Metropolitan Masters fake card set from David Klug (one of our long time staff members)! Wow, now this means I need to begin working on my Fake Gym Blanks now, so that I have Gym Blanks to use for MM! Oooh! Even cooler, WotC has finally posted some cards from the West STS which were created by the fans in their "Create a Card" area! Yes! They've even ranked them by "Best Art (3 Entries)", "Best Game Mechanic (3 Entries)", and "Best Overall Card (3 Entries)", along with a lot of "Honorable Mentions". They also have cards made at the East STS Qualifiers! Check it out: http://www.wizards.com/pokemon/main.asp?x=cyoc Oh, and guess who got one
of the "Best Game Mechanic" rankings? The fake card master

Who these people are will be announced later on Saturday (ooohh... a mystery!). Also some new Mayakashi Edition fake cards are in the works... along with an update to the PA!CA. That's it. ...

I don't have much today... Hackman updated the news. Check it out, it has some handy information. ... In other news... I've got an idea. When Gym: Challenge comes out, I might construct a "print run" analysis of the set. Something like this hasn't happened in the history of Pokémon sites (to my knowledge), and so I wish to be the first one. Commons and uncommons aren't 100% randomly inserted. They are packaged in a certain order, like Bulbasaur, then Squirtle and Pikachu ALWAYS follows in the card order... and so a pattern emerges. This is quite helpful in determining what your opponent gets in a pack if and when you play a Pokémon booster draft tournament, or just fun info to read about. (Like having fun with your friends in trying to predict the order of cards.) Now this pattern (when dealing with Magic cards) is for every 3rd or 4th cards. No doubt something similar occurs in Pokémon.... but I'm not to sure on what it is just yet. So... When Challenge comes out on the 7th, I will have a form for this. What I'll need for you to do with the forum is to fill out what you get in your packs. Instructions on it will be explained there. If this becomes a success, then I will try to make one for Heroes and all the other sets ever made. Cool, huh? (I'm always trying to make some new and original stuff for this site! :P) ... Also, PA! is looking for a few good staff members! Click here to learn more! (Remember, this is a "first come, first served" opportunity, so you have to be quick in convincing me to hire you!) Oooh... staff update, the "Mapmaker" job has been dropped. All I need is someone to a walkthrough and Pokédex. That's all I have for today. |

Hmmm... no new site news today. Hack may have some Pokémon news... Ooh! In my spare time, I was making some Flash animation quicks. They're based on some movies found at one of my favorite anti-rock band's website, Radiohead.com. If you want to look at them, click on the links below (remember, the style is intentionally "sketchy"). If you want to see more, pop by Radiohead's website. They're really cool!

OK, updates have been made

DARK American blanks! (Cooler too, this size of a fix give
the site a tiny version update, now it's v4.6.1 :P) Now you
can FINALLY visit the news section with the Flash Sidebar!
Now Fake Blanks News for you, I DO have plans to make "Gym" style blanks (both 'regular' and 'dark' styles). Score! Now you can REALLY your own Pokémon fake cards! :P Then after that I MAY do Neo blanks, I'm not sure about that though (fact is, I don't have ANY Neo cards....no score). ... Man, I am so not used to be updating the site like this.... especially with the Ech gone and Hackman doing the news. Oh well... all I can do now is entertain you with more Mayakashi Edition fake cards. Today is Rocket's Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff. Heee!

PA! is going through some weird times right now. Ech is gone, and now pure has followed. That leaves me, Nick and Hack to handle the page by ourselves. Well, it doesn't have to be that way! Much like I hired news scouts not too long ago, Nick is hiring new staff to help with PA! Just click here for more information! Just be warned that just because you e-mail us DOES NOT mean you are guaranteed to get a staff position. We've already received a lot of e-mails about staff requests. Remember, you only need to send one e-mail, we will get them and review them all, have no fear (that's our job). Well, anywho, I'll be
signing off now. See ya! |

(Guest Director: Nick15) Well, it seems as if the Echidna's home computer is on the fritz, so I gues I need to updated. [bashes his head on a table] There's not much news wise for both PA! and the world of Pokémon. Dum de dum... The Mayakashi Edition is on it's way.... Right now I'm rendering one of my card images in 3D. Speaking of fake cards, I have 1 card to share with you... like my Nick15's Gally and Deckman 601 cards, this too is also from that manga series, "Gunnm". It's GR-3.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! moving on...my cohort the echidna and i thought it might be fun to have a fake card contest of our own...keep your eyes on fake card mania for further developments. we're getting closer and closer to the release of gold and silver...i'm pleased to note that the nintendo gold/silver tour will be stopping in dear old nyc, so i don't have to go to boston or something. hurrah!! gah....this is hard...i mean, i get on aim and nick invites me to a chat, and after we're done yelling out names to each other, he says hey pure update pa! and now here i am.... for those of you planning on attending the ests, i hear you need FIVE badges to get in, not 3 like the west coast one. bear it in mind if you're planning on going...it would suck to show up and not get in, huh. what else...no one ever tells me anything so i don't know. i've been over in fake card mania all day, and since there are few things in life more annoying than someone with nothing to say who won't shut up, i'll just hustle on out of here....thanks for your kind attention, and hopefully tomorrows updater will have something a tad more relevant to say!! weeeeeeell, gooooodbye!!! |

[grumble] I've got some minor news for youse bums... Remember that Thunderstorm Gift Box I mentioned a while back, well I've got the card list for it. (It's amazing what you can find if you just look. :P ) Let's see... I had an idea for another new thing for v4.6, but I can't remember... uhm... bah. Just come back later today to read about it.

At least you'll get more Nicky goodness every other day (especially those who forgot who I am). As for the Next Major Update, version 4.6 (sue me if I skipped a number), here's what is officially planned:
I don't like setting dates whenever I make a mega site update, so I'll just say this will be around sometime soon. Toodles people! |

(Guest Director: Nick15) Due to some weird and kinky shtuff, I might resume the task of being webmaster (which is something I really don't want to do)... some stuff is going around which concerns PA! Community happenings which I'm not really pleased with. :\ Aargh, who ever though running a site like this would be so much trouble! (-_-) Anyway, there have been talks between the Echidna, Purity, and myself, about a numerious number of things concerning the people level of PA!, like what's going on behind the forums (something I don't want to get into right now). I mean it's grown to the level to where MegaX, one of the longest staff members at PA! resigned. (0_o) I've been thinking about just staying out of such happenings since it doesn't really concern me personally, and just let things run their course. Hmmm... boy, this sure is a real thinker right now. More stuff later today. |

(Guest Director: Nick15) Today is Labor Day, the Worker's Holiday. To the uneducated (or those who want a good laugh), today is Communist/Socialist Day, the Worker's Holiday. :P Hmmmm.... it doesn't seem like the Ech has updated this page in a while. Can't blame him though... that lazy person (:P) has been busy with personal events and hasn't been online much. At least that's what I've pieced together. Anyhoo, first off the last few days have been slow news wise in the world of Pokémon. Even the Pojo has been news-less for 4 days-ish. .... Speaking of news, I'll do today's installment later today. Speaking of news, word has it that MegaX, the original news editor has a better internet connection and will resume the job as news editor in a few days or so. Before, Megs was the news editor, but since he has a slow as snails PeeCee with a slow as snails internet connection, it was next to impossible for Megs to do any news updating. So Hackman took over for him as a temp. In the world of fake cards, it is September.... so that means the Mayakashi edition will be beginning soon. As soon as I get my new blanks finished, I'll begin immediatly on the new fake card set. Aside from that, I have another non-Mayakashi edition fake card for you. It's the second of my Gunnm-related fakes. And yes, it was drawn by me again! No doubt that this card will knock your socks off. :P Well, enjoy! Deckman 601 (Click here to view the full image.) More of these kinds of cards will be appearing in Mayakashi. My 3D abilities has grown from leaps and bounds since about a month ago.... all this will provide for some really kick butt fake cards! Also, PA! version 4.5.1 is in the works, many pages need an update. Also planned in v4.5.1 is a browsable TCG card index, with scans of each card. Kind of like what I have in the Promo Index page. OK, well, that's it for me right now. Toodles! |

Well...
[Nick15 walks in for a minute] Hoo haa! I control the News for today! Take that.. uhm... current news person. ... And Ech. :P Oh yeah, speaking of new cards, I too have a card to share. It's not an official Mayakashi Edition card (which I need to start working on sometime soon), but it is a cool fake card done by me. Much cooler than anything the Ech can do. :D Anyway, my favorite anime/manga (Japanese cartoon/comic, respectivly) has always been and will be Battle Angel Alita, Gunnm in it's native Japan. It's main character is Alita, or Gally in Japan. So for the heck of it, I drew up a "Nick15's Gally" card to share. Nick15's Gally Card (The original picture) Now this card was VERY popular at the PA! Forums, so I've decided to make 3 more Gunnm related fakes. I shant tell you what they are yet. (To learn more about BAA/Gunnm, click here.) Also, I'm about half finished on updating my REALLY COOL 'CLASSIC' blanks that EVERYONE uses (no one uses Ech's Neo backs). I still have to do Psychic, Colorless, Dark, and Steel. :D But I'm sure you're DYING to learn more about my blanks so here's a de-fact-o sheet for you. • The new "Classic" blanks are crisper and cleaner than the original blanks. The colors for them are also vibrant and bolder than they were before. Wheee! Now to give you an idea of what the new blanks will look like, I've decided to release this Stage 2 'Dark' Grass blank early. It's free for you to use in blank making, right now! Enjoy! Stage 2 "Dark" Grass blank! Free for you to use! |

The person who interviewed me, Mr. Steve Diamond, is one great guy, and I still thank you so very much for interviewing me for the magazine!!
