    What would you put in a Pokemon Park?

    As you know if you've seen the front page of Pokecharms or Pokemon Forever, we now know 11 of the 12 rides of the Poke Park. So... how good were my guesses? I said: 1. the promised huge ferris wheel, with Poke Ball-shaped booths That will be #10, Pokemon Large Ferris Wheel (Theme: Poke Ball)...

    New smileys!

    I was bored :P no, not really... but that tongue smiley was getting to me, so I decided to try to fix it. My tongue results are pretty awful - basically there aren't enough pixels to draw a mouth AND a tongue unless you do something like try to poke the tongue out of the corner of the mouth...

    What would you do...?

    You're a science teacher. You set your kids a task: make up an imaginary animal and then write about how it's adapted to its habitat. One kid hands in a drawing of a Charizard along with some stuff about it being a predator with muscular wings that can swoop down on prey and sharp claws to...

    The Source Behind the Names

    GameFAQs has a Pokemon Name FAQ as of a few months ago. It's pretty comprehensive and quite amusing. Although I don't agree with all his explanations. I always thought most of the names were quite obvious, but then I did French, Latin and (ancient) Greek at school. I don't really remember much...

    Battle Frontier group-shot

    I agree! Is that a girl or a boy? Or both? :twisted: Mind you, after "Master Nascour" in Colosseum, no amount of transvestism would scare me. And hey, I know at least one boy who dresses like Nascour in real life - impossibly small corset and all. One of my favourite video game characters...

    My friend went to the Pokemon Center and all I got was...

    Yoshi: If you want anything, PM me ;). Other people - parcels are wrapped, I'll take them to the Post Office if it's not raining tomorrow (sorry, it's just too grey and miserable for me to be able to face bus + queuing tonight).

    Urge to kill FR/LG... Rising...

    I think the point of the starters is that they're supposed to ease people who are new to the game into the whole "Type" system. So for that reason alone, they pick the simplest possible trio - where each has a strength against one and a weakness against the other, and your rival always picks the...

    Unown?

    Ahhhh! I was expecting the fact they're supposedly runes to come into a puzzle or something (like the Braille puzzles), but no... I even wondered if the strange names of the chambers (Weepth, Rixy, etc) were supposed to imply something, but I couldn't work anything out. Oh well. Do you know, I...

    Cruel Experiments

    It's not cack! :shock: Do you want me to beta it for spelling & grammar and/or suggest possible changes to make it snappier? Or would that feel horrible? Some people like constructive criticism and others hate it (see the recent rant from Anne Rice, famed horror author, which she posted to...

    Happy Pokemon Christmas

    I'm still annoyed at how difficult it is to get adult-sized Pokemon t-shirts, or indeed anything for people bigger than a 10 year old. I'm a bit surprised Hot Topic haven't picked up on it, because they do Hello Kitty, Teletubbies, general Nintendo and god knows what else in the way of scary...

    Unown?

    Um? :? I don't get 'em. A Pokemon with only one possible move and no amazing special ability? What have I missed? And do I want to go round collecting every single possible form, when there's only one entry in the Pokedex? Do I get anything special for having all the possible forms?

    My friend went to the Pokemon Center and all I got was...

    Well, I did say I was willing to share my Pokemon bonanza. What kind of evil person do you think I'd be, if I posted on a forum "L00k @ all dez kewt fings i got!!!" and then wanted to keep them all to myself :shock:?! It was the Pokemon Center in Tokyo. My friend got sent to Japan for a...

    Why does the .jp region get all the cool stuff?

    Seen on eBay: Pikmin 1 & 2 set with mini figures and t-shirt. This is just one of the many cool pieces of licensed game merchandise that I've seen coming from Japan, Hong Kong or Korea - to say nothing of the games they get. How many .jp region games actually make it out in the NorAm or European...

    My friend went to the Pokemon Center and all I got was...

    ...quite a lot, actually. Let's see: 12 pencils, all with the same design featuring Pikachu, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Groudon, Corphish, Combusken and Ludicolo arranged down the length of it (and a small white patch near the top for you to write your name on) a set of 3...

    As predicted, Leaf Green with Aurora Ticket - for "only" US $89.99. Notice the startling lack of bids ;). Fire Red with Aurora Ticket - for Buy It Now US $145!! or bid, & hope you beat the reserve... WHY AM I STILL AWAKE? AARGH!

    What would you put in a Pokemon Park?

    bumpity According to the web site, there will be 12 attractions, arcade game/s, an event stage, shop and coffee shop. One of the attractions is a "huge" ferris wheel, and even the coffee shop will be Pokemon themed. Any information beyond that is impossible to get with a machine translation ...

    For the Animal Crossing fans...

    I like the idea of Sudowoodo being the evolved form of a Gyroid. It even fits: Sudowoodo is a Rock pokemon, and Gyroids are dug out of the ground... Actually, I can't believe I forgot this, but apparently Gyroids are based on ancient Japanese sculptures called haniwa. They are made of baked...

    What would you put in a Pokemon Park?

    Have you seen (I think) the 6th Pokemon Movie? Jirachi the Wish Maker. It's very annoying because Max and Jirachi are both annoying small children (and for some reason Jirachi can talk English, so his squeaky little voice grates horribly), but if you watch it with the sound off you can enjoy the...

    "Information" from the Prima Pokedex

    The funny thing about the Prima Pokedex book is that the parts that seem to be dodgy because they're from a prerelease version of the game relate to Colosseum - which has been out for ages, compared to FR/LG! Some of the town names are wrong (probably they are Japanese language names...
