Unfortunately…

Sorry, guys, but unfortunately everything will have to be postponed once again. (and right before CoroCoro comes out too! Dx)

I’m moving on Wednesday, so I have to do some major packing. What’s worse, I’m going on a roadtrip and won’t be back until the end of the summer. I’ll have precious litle time to update, but I’ll try to use that time wisely.

For now, expect slow updates until the end of the summer or until I say otherwise.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and all this off and on stuff.

Of Quotes

Okay, unless anyone has any complaints about it, I’m probably going to add an occasional quote NOT from the Pokemon anime, although most of the time it will be.

That’s about it. Remember to check the Secrets page and see the HGSS news from yesterday!

I’VE RETURNED WITH A VENEGEANCE!!!!!!!!!

You’ll never believe this, but I’m alive.

I’m really sorry for not being active for, what, a year now? Probably longer.

Anyway, I’m not promising anything about being SUPER ACTIVE, 24/7. But I’ll post at least once a month, maybe every two weeks. Sorry, but it’s better than nothing, right?

Now, for a quick FAQ for questions asked while I was gone:

Q: WHERE WERE YOU?!?!?!?
A: I got a life. =D No, just kidding. School was the main thing to blame for my disappearance, though I admit I did kind of… *cough* … forget about *cough* this site… *cough* *cough* … sorry! Please don’t kill me!

Q: WHERE’S THE FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON?!?!?
A: THERE IS NONE!!!!!! It turns out that the mysterious figure was NOTCHED-EAR PICHU (Gizamimi Pichu). This is NOT a fifth generation Pokemon! It was an old post, and at the time it seemed as if it would be kind of like Lugia in Movie 2, Latios and Latias in Movie 5, Munchlax in Movie 7, and Lucario, Weavile, and Bonsly in Movie 8 – they’d make a guest appearance. This was incorrect. The alleged “5th gen Pokemon,” or “Pokemon B,” was Shaymin Sky Form.

Q: OMG WERE DO I GET ARUSEUSS!!!11
A: You don’t. Unless you are: A) living in Japan, where they are having an Arceus event (a Lv. 100 Arceus with the moves Judgement, Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, and Shadow Force – the latter three are unlearnable except by this event) to celebrate the 12th movie, or B) using an Action Replay. See below for my opinion on the AR.

Q: Can you give me an Action Replay code for _________?
A: Let me make this clear: I DO NOT USE HACKING DEVICES OF ANY KIND. This includes ARs, Gamesharks, and Pokesav. Personally, I think hacking makes a game “unfun” and boring, but I can see why people might want to hack. Don’t worry, it’s okay if you do, just ask about it SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Q: Is Pokemon Crater back?/HEY GUYS! POKEMON CRATER IS BACK!! GO TO THIS SITE!!
A: Pokemon Crater, to the extent of my knowledge, is gone. Other sites have popped up, such as Pokemon Indigo and Pokemon Net, but they are different from Pokemon Crater. DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING ABOUT POKEMON CRATER BEING BACK. If it really and truly does, I’ll let you guys know.

Q: How do you do/get/find ____________ in Pokemon _________ Version/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon _______/etc.?
A: Since this seems to be the most common question, I will TRY to do something about it. I will TRY to post one secret “cheat” a day during the rest of this summer. The key word being try. So to accomplish this, I’m going to have to stop all other projects on this site over the summer. But for now, check out POKEMON SECRETS every day for a new secret!!!!!!

Q: Where did the pages: D/P Pokedex, D/P Walkthrough, Fun Stuff, and Contests go??
A: As I said, I’m stopping all the projects, which means deleting those pages for now. Sorry about that.

Q: Do you have a Youtube account?
A: Not YET… >=D MWAHAHA!!! Yes, I’ll be getting one soon. Be patient! When I get one, the first video series I’ll post will be a PMD Walkthrough, then a PMD3 Walkthrough, and finally a few Platinum battles! I might do other stuff such as AMVs and non-Pokemon related videos too!

Any MORE questions? Ask away by commenting on this post!

PS. I’ve gotten a LOT better at competitive battling. As in, I finally understand what the term means. And SubSalac, Phazing, and all that good stuff.

PPS. I got to the second round of one of the Pokemon Video Game Championships tournaments, using Rain Dance and NOT TRICK ROOM!!!!!!!!! …then promptly lost to the guy who won 2nd. -_- Darn Smeargles. (And I decided at the last minute not to bring my Sleep Talking Swampert, too…) I’ll post the battle video number later.

Meanwhile another Senior friend of mine got to the finals by facing noobs the whole way through, and Kyogreky’s little brother, in Juniors, got into the finals with Feraligatr, Salamence, Garchomp, and Dragonite. And I think Salamence knew Rock Smash, too. But of course he was pitted against the only good team in Juniors – a hail team. Yeah. Blizzard FTL. And Kyogreky herself unfortunately lost in the first round to some more tough competition…

OH WELL!! WHO CARES ABOUT THAT, THE TOURNEY WAS AWESOME!!!

Oh, and special thanks to Marriland for finding that Sharpie to autograph my Chimchar card with. =D

PPS. Be sure to check out Pokemon Secrets daily for awesome tips!!

FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!

A press release has stated that there will be a new Pokemon in the eleventh movie: Giratina and the Bouquet of the Icy Sky: Shaymin!!! It is seen as a question mark right now, but most likely it is a fifth generation Pokemon. Here’s why:

1. The only D/P Pokemon that has not been released is Arceus, and Arceus will probably be in the 12th movie, and not the 11th.

2. Munchlax first appeared a long time before Diamond and Pearl came out.

3. Most likely this will be, again, something like a pre-evolution so we can recognize it, just like we all knew that Munchlax was some sort of baby form of Snorlax, or Bonsly and Mime Jr.

4. Regigigas, Shaymin, Giratina, and Dialga have already been revealed to be major characters, and it appears that this Pokemon is a minor character – again, like Munchlax.

5. On the other hand, it COULD be a special Opal Pokemon (if there is an Opal Version), like Giratina: Origin Form might be.

Here is a picture. Look on the panel to the right, below Normal Giratina, diagonal from Origin Form Giratina, and to the right of Shaymin.

THIS IS AN OLD POST. THE POKEMON WAS REVEALED TO BE SHAYMIN SKY FORM. THEREFORE, IT WAS NOT A FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON AS PREDICTED.

IF THERE IS ANY UPDATED INFORMATION ON FIFTH GENERATION POKEMON, I’LL POST IT.

CASE CLOSED.

AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went into Nintendo and Pokemon headquarters, and I found out that Mystery Dungeon 2’s final boss is Arceus!!!!!! And Pokemon Ranger Battonage will be released May 10, 2008!!! And Pokemon Opal will be released in June!!!!!!! Read more…

Tick tock…

This is a random post so you know I’m on. I’m really busy, and things happen, the world spins, and life goes on, so I have less time to work on Pokemon Strategy (sniff…). I can’t make any promises, but I should probably have everything, including all the new updates, ready in a few weeks. I apologize for everything, but everything will be ready in due time!

Speaking of Time…

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Time and Darkness should hit the shelves soon, and preorders are now being taken! You can find them at your closest GameStop, Game Crazy, Target, EB Games, or pretty much any retailer that sells video games. They come with an Explorer’s Guide for your version of the game, and include some starters and partners, interviews, gameplay and a quick peek at the beginning of the story, version differences (including a few exclusive Pokemon and items), a brief walkthrough of one of the first two dungeons, depending on if you preordered Time or Darkness (the dungeons are Beach Cave, the first dungeon, in the Darkness guide, and Drenched Bluff, the second, in the Time guide), and even a manga strip at the end! (the manga strip is about Team Pokepals, consisting of a Chimchar (human) and Turtwig (partner))

 If you look at the interviews in the Time guide carefully, you will notice that Darkrai may be involved in the plotline… Will it be good, like in The Rise of Darkrai (the 10th movie)? Will it be evil, like in Diamond and Pearl? Or is it just Darkrai, a second-to-last or a post-game boss? (We already know who the final boss is:

Dark Dialga!!!!!!!)

Also mentioning Time… the next Featured Pokemon has something to do with that! Stay tuned for the updates!

…nothing…

Just as the title says. Nothing much to update with, just letting you know that I’m still on and working on the site.

I must have at least 15 votes before I decide. This poll will close on January 20 if I have enough votes by that time.

In other news, there is another slide/clip thing (alongside the Battle Revolution codes and the Pokemon Snap info), featuring Darkrai. Darkrai zooms around the page for a bit before placing itself in the middle of the dark, stormy slide. It then grows bigger and text appears saying ‘Who is this Pokemon?’. Obviously, Darkrai will be released any day now…!!!

Diamond Dust in Snowpoint City!!

For today only, all Wi-Fi users can see something other than snow in Snowpoint City!! Instead of the usual slowly falling snow, there are sparkles falling from the sky known as Diamond Dust. Even the sign for the Snowpoint City Gym has changed to say:

‘Snowpoint City Pokemon Gym

Leader: Candice

The Diamond Dust Girl!’

Also, if you were to hack a battle in Snowpoint City (NOT the Pokemon Gym or the Snowpoint Temple), Diamond Dust would be a weather effect. Cool, huh?

And if you were wondering why you need Wi-Fi, it’s because Nintendo needs to update your game. If you have Wi-Fi, it will automatically be updated – no need to go into a bunch of menus or whatever.

Remember, this special effect is only in place today (Saturday, January 12), so check it out while you can!
