    Happy Birthday Linkachu :)

    She always manages to put one of these up for me, so I figure it's about time for me to do one back. :) Katie, our new overlord, is officially even older today. And that's ollllld. :D But, srsly, Katie puts a great deal of effort into the site, makes massive financial contributions to keeping...

    Pokecharms.com has a new Overlord today

    I'd like to officially announce that Katie, aka Linkachu, has taken the reigns of Pokecharms and will be administrating the day-to-day decision making of the site from now on. I've 'stepped down', as it were, to focus on other projects. But don't think that doesn't mean I wont be part of the...

    Downtime Today

    Apologies for the short notice, but there will be a considerable amount of downtime later today for essential server maintenance to be carried out. This may last for quite some time - but we'll definitely be back up by tomorrow. The forums are currently offline until the work is done to avoid...

    Eurogamer Expo 2009

    This week is the week of the second annual Eurogamer - Expo, and I stopped by today's event in Leeds to have a look around. Here's my report on the day's activities: To begin with, the size of the show itself was impressive - especially by what we consider to be the normal emphasis on gaming...

    Donation News and Updates

    Hi guys. Thanks to some very generous donations over the past couple of weeks, this month's payment is clear. A very sincere thank you to everyone who donated - especially those two among you who donated the lion's share. With our traffic taking a knock from our downtime, and the ads not fully...

    New Nintendo DS to be announced next year? Generation V to follow with it?

    Sources talking with Tech news site, BSN, are reporting that nVidia are working with Nintendo on a new DS, due to be announced next year. If true (and it's not confirmed, although pretty possible), it would allow a proper next-generation DS, with enhanced graphics and processing power, but...

    Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8298580.stm He's only been in power half a year - and hasn't done anything in that half a year anyway! I mean, if, by the end of his term in power, he'd pulled out of Afghanistan, Iraq, peacefully disarmed Iran and accepted that Global warming is science...

    The PSPGO (Away)

    So, how hard is the PSPGo going to fail when it launches in a week? Very, very, extremely hard. This comes days after offering 'incentives' for European PSP owners to upgrade - 'upgrade' - to an overpriced system that can do less, can't play any of the games they already own and relies solely...

    Ark-ee-us and the Jewel of Life to air in the US within 2009

    Pokemon.com's spoilerific Mailbag section has a number of 12th Movie questions this week, including when it should be airing on television in the states. Replying to a user's e-mail asking when to expect to see the 12th movie, Pokemon.com replied: "We think it will air this year. Actually, we...

    Welcome Back

    Hi there - did you miss us? As you'll be aware, we've been offline for the past month. Server and money issues are the heart of it, to keep things simple, but hopefully there wont be any further problems for the forseeable future. To make up for it, I will be endeavouring to get the Pokedex up...

    Pokemon.com announces HeartGold/SoulSilver - Spring 2010 release confirmed

    Pokemon.com has, to quite some surprise, announced the upcoming Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver games (confirming that ala, FR/LG, the space is definitely gone in the English titles), just under a month before their Japanese release. While there was no major information supplied (not even anything...

    Going Home For The Summer

    Darkrai's Member's card event also valid for Europe

    There were rumblings about this, but nothing in the way of confirmation until the event started today. However, I can confirm that the Member's Card is also available for European Platinum copies today, for presumably the same length of time as the Americans. You'll have to activate Mystery...

    Pokemon Village Fete Summer event begins tomorrow

    Although we already knew about the 'Village Fete' summer event distributing the movie Regigigas that's stopping off at a (very) few choice locations across England this August, Nintendo has distributed a newsletter detailing exactly what to expect at these events. As well as the Regigigas...

    This Summer's Hottest Venue

  17. Doctor Oak

    And now for something completely different

    I would say this needs no introduction, but unfortunately the HTML will break the forums unless I introduce it. :p Ever wondered what a real PokéRap would be like? Well, wonder no longer because rap group DaveAndDaves have made it a reality - and it's not anywhere near as bad as you'd think...

    A handy wrap-up of recent HG/SS news in Pokemon Sunday footage form

    I'm sure we're all up-to-date with the HG/SS news from this month's CoroCoro and website updates - but here's Pokemon Sunday with some new in-game footage to wrap it all up into one easy to swallow Japanese ball of craziness:

    A Brief History Of Pokemon

    To make up for my somewhat absence recently, as I continue to work behind the scenes for this summer's major new features, I've decided to start a small series of articles for the site focusing on the history of the Pokémon franchise from its very inception in Satoshi Tajiri's head over 30 years...

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare

    We've known about these 3 WiiWare games for a couple of months now, but not really known anything about them until now. As you can guess from the 3 games' subtitles, Blazing, Stormy and Shining Adventure Squad, the games are themed towards the titular types of Pokemon - that being Fire, Water...
