    A summer of change - a chance to see what you want!

    I've been a bit quiet lately, thanks in large part to the current workload on me concerning Pokecharms and its related endeavours (and also other stuff on top of that, like moving). But everything's moving along very well, and my plans for the summer would seem to be right on target for now...

    Giratina Origin Forme DS Lite available to Europeans

    Maybe it's in return for slashing out parts of the game, or maybe it's just because Nintendo of Japan couldn't get rid of all their stock and shoved some over to Europe, but members of Nintendo Europe's Club Nintendo can, from today, get their hands on the Giratina Origin Forme DS Lite that was...

    Pokecharms UK Manchester Tournament Results

    Well, the tournament is done and dusted and we're all thoroughly exhausted. However, in between the feet and back ache of standing up for 4 hours straight, a lot of fun was there to be had. After a set of gruelling matches and an extremely close final however, a winner was decided, and that...

    Speaking in Game Informer this month, Junichi Masuda - the director of Diamond and Pearl (and unconfirmed, but expected director of HG/SS) - explains that while Pokemon is an RPG, and that has never really changed, he's quite interested in adding a lot more to that.

    DPPt/HGSS Alex's random team thread thingy

    Although I can't participate in the tournament this summer, I'm still hoping that I'll be able to get a few friendly battles in, so I'm working on building up team for it.
