Lots of Updates here and there...
July 29th, 2000 (12:22am ET)

-A rant with an opinion opposite of my most recent rant can be found here. This rant talks about the evidence supporting the idea that Pokemon is still strong. Whether it's mega-popular or not, this site will be up until way after the bitter end of the series in Japan. Shoot, I could see myself working on this site in five years! I'm definitely here to stay...I was a Pokemon fan the day it made its American debut BEFORE it was a big deal, and I'll be one after, too.

-I've updated my Links section.

-I've updated the French section and added the Netherlands section to the International Pokemon (PKMN of the World) section.

-I've added Tosakinto's (Goldeen's) bio under Kasumi's Pokemon (in the Popular Pokemon section. Thanks to KitKat70000 for pointing out Tosakinto's absense.

-The poll's been fixed...I hope...

-New and improved Entei movie section delayed because...um...I haven't had the chance to work on it. That, my special comparison (I haven't forgotten!), and a super-duper special update will be coming sometime soon...

-And today (Saturday) is Kids' WB!'s last day of "Pokemon Around the World Month." *crosses fingers for Japanese song*

New Rant Up
July 25th, 2000

About a month until school starts for me :(

I got a new rant up, this one about the reasons why Pokemon's popularity is falling. I'm proud of this rant, so please read :D. Also, I've tried the poll thing again, so *hopefully* it'll work.

Poll Taken Down Temporarily
July 25th, 2000 (1:42 am)

Took the poll down because it wouldn't center, wouldn't work, and was overall giving me a headache. I'll work on it again tomorrow...

BTW, the second Pokemon movie, "The Power of One," only placed in third place at the box office. A year ago it would have been number one. I could go on and on on the reasons for this (a future rant, perhaps? -_^) but won't for now.

Poll
July 24th, 2000

I've got a poll on the bottom of the page! I've also added a picture of Yadoking to the Popular Pokemon and Lugia movie sections. Hopefully before the week is over I can get a thrid movie blowout, similar to what I did with the second movie, up.

Pokemon Bashing/Humor Section Updated
July 24th, 2000 (2:00pm ET)

I've updated a section that's just kind of been sitting there for a while, the Pokemon Bashing/Humor section. There's a new article written by an expert of backwards speech analyst and his findings of the hidden messages in Pokemon. Worth a laugh!

I'm also accepting submissions for the Pokemon Bashing section. If you know of any laughable article, stupid story, or just a demonstration of pure stupidity, please send the URL/article to me.

Clean-up
July 24th, 2000 (1:27am ET)

I WOULD'VE had this update up by 9:00pm, but AOL hasn't been cooperating...so I had to let it sit for a while.

I've put the things from the Lugia bash where it belongs...the human bios are now in the humans section, the CD info now in the CD Guide, a link to the editorial in the editorials section, etc. I've also cleaned up the humans section and the Popular Pokemon section because they were getting way too big for just one html file...so now it'd divided them into separate html files.

Oh, yesterday Kids' WB! aired the Spanish Pokemon opening and the Danish Pokemon Rap. Just one weekend left...show the Japanese song already!

Movie Two Mega-Bash!
July 22nd, 2000 (12:50am ET)

It's a little late, but in celebration of the theatrical release of the American version of "Mabaroshi no Pokemon Lugia Bakutan," I've updated a lot in the Movie secion. Under the Lugia movie, there's more detailed plots of the movie and its OVA, soundtrack info, and a short rant I wrote. I invite everyone who's seen both the American and Japanese versions of the movie to write an editorial/rant. Or if you've seen the American version, send me your opinions. I'm probably NOT going to see this movie (I'll watch Chicken Run again ^_^).

Also, I've archived half the news, so maybe without so much stuff on the front page it'll load quicker.

Pocket Monsters was not created by me. It was created by Satoshi Tajiri and the crew at TV-Tokyo. Pokemon is (c) Game Freak, Nintendo, 4Kids Productions, Hasbro, Bandai, and a ton of other companies. When you have a popular anime like Pokemon, lots of people own it so it's impossible to list every company who owns a piece of Pokemon. No infringement of copyrights is meant by the creation of the web site. All images were gotten from official websites (Nintendo, TV-Tokyo, etc.) unless otherwise noted (I don't steal images from other sites!).
