DP5 Set Logo “Majestic Dawn” Revealed

 Hey! Just as a foreword, this is MylesPrower! I’ve become a contributor to the site, so I’ll be posting news and updates as well. Thanks!

 DP5: Majestic Dawn Logo – The set logo for DP5: ”Majestic Dawn” has been revealed! The set features Powerful LV.X such as Leafeon, Glaceon, and Garchomp! It’s set for release on May 21st, meaning that prereleases will probably be the two weekends before. Nice looking, isn’t it?

*yawn*

*IIIII’ve been working on the STRAAATEGY page…*

And that’s about it. Not really much news other than a PMD2 mini-site being up on Pokemon.com. You can take the quiz to see which Pokemon you are – I got Mudkip!! ^_^

PS. Stay tuned for some TCG news from someone familiar… They will make their ‘Majestic’ entrance very soon!

It’s All in the Mail

Hi again!

Today the Mailbag section of Pokemon.com revealed some exciting and disappointing news. The bad news first:

Quoting the ‘Darkrai’s Debut’ mailbag: “Will Pokemon: Rise of Darkrai be released in theatres? This may come as a disappointment, but despite what you have heard (most likely referring to Cartoon Network’s false information stating ‘a clip before the movie hits theatres’ that threw us all off), Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai will not have a theatrical release – it will premier on Cartoon Network and then be released on DVD.” MAJOR disappointment there. I was hoping for Eigakan (Japanese Darkrai given away at the movie premier in theatres which knows Roar of Time and Spacial Rend), but I was mislead by the evil Fried Dynamite dude, and proved wrong by the Mailbag. *sighs* Oh, well. Maybe they’ll give Eigakan (working nickname) away over Wi-Fi? 

And the better news:

“Is there any plan to create another Pokemon game for a handheld console? At this point, it’s more than just a plan! There’s definitely another Pokemon game coming out for the Nintendo DS…

What is the next Pokemon game? …And we’re getting ready to tell you all about it, so stay tuned – we’ll have more details soon!“

You know what this means! MD2!!!!!!!!! And perfect timing: the Mystery Dungeon section should be completed soon.

PS. I won the Prereleases for Great Encounters on Sunday! ^_^ (plus I got a Darkrai card to boot!)

Of Contests and Darkrai and Strategy too

Plus more info on Rise of Darkrai for you! I’m a poet and I didn’t know it! Note to self: needs more work.

BREAKING NEWS TO MOVIE FANS!!!! see bottom of post

Yesterday, I thought that on Darkrai.com, my computer was acting up when I saw this. But I surfed the web a bit, and found this:

 

(thanks to Pokebeach.com for the image)

So it was true after all. The day Darkrai.com aired, if you were to go to it and click on ’Video Game’, there would be this error message, probably from one of the makers of darkrai.com to another.

 Also, Pokemon Strategy’s first contest, the GTS contest, has its rules up. A brief recap: You can win the 100% guaranteed catch Pokeball: the Master Ball, the ultimate healing item which can heal all party Pokemon to full health and only available through a Nintendo event: the Sacred Ash, or a hard-to-find Thunderstone, which is key to evolving Pikachu into Raichu and Eevee  into Jolteon! How? By entering the GTS Contest! Please go to the Contest page to learn more.

Also, Pokemon Strategy’s ‘Ultimate Pokemon Strategy’ page will be temporarily closed. Don’t worry, it’s not gone; just password protected and will be back with updates and 3 brand-new Featured Pokemon!

HEADLINE NEWS!!! 10th MOVIE: Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai to air February 24 on Cartoon Network (US date and channel)!!!!! Another thing you might want to note is that the Fried Dynamite people said “see a clip of Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai months before it hits theaters”. Months before it hits theaters. Key fact: “It hits theaters”!! Does this mean I was wrong? Is the rising popularity of Pokemon and the awesome quality and plot of the newest movie enough to bring Pokemon back to the REALLY big screen? Best of all, does that mean we get the legendary Eigakan, AKA ‘Movie Darkrai’ – with Roar of Time and Spacial Rend???? We’ll just have to find out! Stay posted!

The Rise of Darkrai

IMPORTANT! EDIT: DARKRAI HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

www.darkrai.com is here.

The 10th movie, ‘The Rise Of Darkrai’, has been announced on Cartoon Network and darkrai.com, airing in March.

Darkrai has been announced on both its own site and www.go-pokemon.com.

The time is nigh… now all we do is wait.

-Shdowgroudon 

 PS. Time and Darkness Exploration Team’s English titles are ‘Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness’. Kind of a meh title to me; I liked ‘Exploration Team’ better.

PPS. We are now waiting for the Darkrai event.

New Stuff + Contests Page!

Hi!

• Well, Darkrai’s release is getting closer by the minute. With the Great Encounters prereleases in the first week of February, Darkrai is due to make its appearance within two weeks. (How would the judges explain if someone got a Darkarai card in their booster pack? )
• I am getting into the TCG and TFG more, although I still stink at it.
• I am starting a Contests page! The first contest is:

GTS CONTEST (#1): Put any Pokemon on my Top 10 list, nicknamed ‘Pkmnstrtgy’, up for trade on the GTS looking for any 1st or 4th gen. starter. If you are one of the three lucky winners, you will receive that Pokemon from me! It will be holding the Evolution item of your choice or even a Master Ball! For more details and rules, see the Contests page.

• Mystery Dungeon 2 will be released in April, May or June.
• Please remember to vote! (See previous post)

That’s about it!

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Great Encounters

Guess what?? I got further information on the next TCG set! ^_^ Plus pictures to boot!!

       

 As a recap, the theme decks are called Endless Night (Darkrai), Eternal Time (Dialga), and Infinite Space (Palkia). But the Diamond and Pearl theme will probably close at the 5th extention, and as this is the 4th… I wonder what the next theme will be called? It would be cool if they had a Mystery Dungeon theme, in honor of MD2, but that probably couldn’t last very long anyway. Or a Ranger one. So… would there be a Pokemon Opal theme? But if it is set to be released in ‘08, that’ll be a while… Although Great Encounters has solved some questions, it left more than it answered! I guess only time (or space!) will tell.

PS. Just a reminder to keep voting! See previous posts (archive) for more info. Thanks!

DARKRAI HAS APPEARED!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

 I’ve got some cool news for all of you! There is a Darkrai shadow (an outline of Darkrai, filled in with black) that appears on the front page of Pokemon.com!! This is very similar to the appearing and disappearing Manaphy Egg about a month before the Manaphy Code and 9th Movie were released…! If you wait approximately 5 seconds, a Darkrai shadow with a purple aura will fade in, float down the screen to one of the three ‘link tabs’ (it changes every time), pause there for about 20 seconds, then zoom off in a blur of darkness back where it came from.

 This could mean one of many things:

-the US will get the Darkrai ticket soon

-the US will get the 10th Movie soon

-the US will get the Movie Darkrai (nickname: “Eigakan” in Japan) (this is assuming the tenth movie, if not both, of the above happen) soon

 More proof that Darkrai is liable to be released any time now is the announcement by Pokemon USA about a new TCG set; ‘Diamond and Pearl: Great Encounters’!

Here is the description:

—

Palkia. Dialga. A mysterious legend emerging from the darkness to challenge all comers.Who will stand victorious?

This obviously means that Darkrai may be released in early January, followed by the release of its Trading Card and Set. (speaking of which, the Starter Decks are going to be called Eternal Time (Dialga), Infinite Space (Palkia), and Endless Night (Darkrai)) This also means that the movie will probably be released in late January or early February. So:

-Darkrai release: Late December – Early January

-Darkrai Event?: Mid January

-Darkrai Movie: Late January – Early February

-Diamond and Pearl: Great Encounters: Mid February – Late February

That’s all about Darkrai for now! However… the Featured Pokemon, Torterra, has been released, the new quote is up, and the Pokemon Predictions section has been updated with this new info. Also, there may be a special appearance here by next year.

Your patience will be rewarded with a holiday present on the 16th! Yay! ^_^ So, until next time!
