The other day was the event of the Toy Fair 2000, and Pokémon brought the house down with new toys and games from Hasbro. Presented with a 20ft soft Pikachu, the new merchandise has been scheduled to be released very soon. These include Dexter, the new electronic talking Pokédex, and Action Combat Figures which concentrate on an attack of a Pokémon.

The most spectacular toy was the Battle Stadium figures which contain something called a Think Chip. These figures will actually be able to battle with each other and the Think Chip records the number of battle the Pokémon has won and lost, and therefore, it's strength and attacks. When released in August, there will be 7 figures, two of them being Squirtle and Geodude. Using Dexter, aforementioned, you will be able to view the Pokémon's experience, level and attacks. I must say, that these look absolutely awesome!

Well today there was no new episode, a change from the last few weeks. Of course if that wasn't bad enough, Kids WB is back to it's old and stupid theme weeks. Next weekend is a show-wide "in the beginning" theme, every show will show it's first episodes. Lucky for us, Kids WB is being lenient and we will get one new episode next week. But what happened to that lost episode "Shell Shocked"? Will the WB remain stupid enough to skip that episode and never play it again?

Our hopes for a Cantonese release of “Electric Soldier Polygon” on VCD are gone. It was a while ago that I went to a store that sold Japanese and Cantonese music CDs and VCDs. They released new episodes ranging from “The Bridge Bicycle Gang” to “Who Gets to Keep Togepi?” I searched through the VCDs, and guess what…they skipped the episode too!!! I expected them to show all the lost episodes, but I guess they wanted to be on the safe side. However, they did release “Holiday at Acapulco” and “The Legend of Dratini.”

We all know about the upcoming Pokemon Trading Card Game for the Gameboy, but now we have more information! The game will start out as you meet with not Professor Oak, but Doctor Mason! Throughout the game will will go around battling trainers and gym leaders in hopes of creating a perfect deck; a deck you can use to battle the elite four of the Pokemon Dome! The game will include many of the cards from the Base set and other exclusive cards. Using a link cable you can also battle your friends, but can you trade...?

Every once in a while, the Pokemon Centers in Osaka and Tokyo come out with a new item. This time it is a special edition of the Color Pocket Pikachu! As you can see, this version of the Pocket Pikachu is pearl white and has a silhouette of Pikachu on its casing; other than that, all other functions remain the same. And now back to American news... Last Monday we told about a Pokemon Webcast, well it was this morning incase you forgot. If you missed it, you can head over to Pokemon.com and see a reply. They talked about upcoming merchandise such as: Dexter the Talking Pokedex, TCG Base Set Version 2, TCG Team Rocket Expansion, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Gold and Silver; and many more...

On Feb 08, there was a chat held at ABC, with people such as Tsunekazu Ishihara (President of Creatures Inc., ), Takashi Kawaguchi (General Manager, Advertisement Department, Nintendo Co., Ltd. ) and Masakazu Kubo (Executive Producer of the "Pocket Monster" TV series and movie ). It was about an hour long, and discuss some interesting things about Pokemon. Well, now i've got the manuscript for that chat!

There were 3 new episodes today. Fit to be Tide and Pikachu Re-Volts were excellent episodes, but the Crystal Onix although better than most episodes, were shown off by the two before it. I believe that Iyse has already put up episode guides for these episodes. And unfortunately the WB has pulled a fast one on us again; we were all hoping to get 3 new episodes a week, but the WB has changed it and now we shall only be getting 2 new episodes next Saturday!

Just released yesterday in Japan is the next TCG series: Neo [New]! Pokemon Neo features new Pokemon from the gold and silver series.

Now you can have your Pokemon and eat it too! Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, Poliwhirl, Meowth and Jigglypuff can now be found on their own Kraft Macaroni and Cheese package; on the blue box! Each Pokemon will have their own unique pasta. In addition to Pokemon shaped pasta, each box will come with a free Pokemon collector's coin. With 42 in total, you're going to have to eat a lot of macaroni to get them all. We've wondered what Pokemon tastes like...

Now this CD is very peculiar... The Pokemon World Collector's Edition Enhanced CD comes out February 8th. On the CD are 3 new songs: Pokemon World [English Pokemon Theme Version 2, video available for download at this site], Pikachu's Winter Vacation Theme [video also available for download at this site] and the instrumental version of the PWV Theme. Along with the three new songs are a 1 minute video, a Pokemon screensaver and 4 Windows backgrounds. One question I am forcing myself to ask, "Is that it?" I realize that the CD comes with 3 new songs, but doesn't it have any other songs with it?

Rumors Rumors. That is what is going around right now, a lot of people are talking about if the Team Rocket sets are actually coming Saturday 8th. A lot of people believe it is true, others say it is false info. If you check around at the Wizards [Official TCG site] you will notice there is NO sign of Team Rocket sets. And the TCG usually go online before they are sold in stores. I myself have called five of my local TCG stores and 1 said they are getting them in on Saturday! That was Babages. The Wizards of the coast store said they did not know at that time. They are usually the ones who determine if the rumors are false or not.

I haven't updated here in a while, sorry! But now, new information has been released on new Pokemon Video games. Two new game boy games! Pokemon Attack, a Pokemon puzzle game! The first ever! Not much is known about it except it is a puzzle game. If you ever played Kirby's Avalanche; it is said to be similar but with Pokemon characters. Another new game, rumor only, said to be coming out in Japan: is a sequel to the Game Boy Card GB. Said to have neo cards of Gold/Silver Pokemon. I hope to have more info on both these games soon, I will keep you informed.

We often hear about the violence caused by the Pokemon craze around the world; but now it has turned for the worst. Usually it's two Pokemon fans who get into a fight, but this time it's their mothers! Dawn Marie Herbert and Maria Grazilla were at a bus stop with their children when Herbert started an argument over a bad trade their children had made during school. Police Officer Steve Coleman reports that Herbert proceeded to throw a full coffee cup at Grazilla; the two of them then charged each other and spent some time pulling each other's hair. Both women are being charged with disorderly conduct.

Some of you may have heard that there is a second edition to the Base set of the TCG coming out soon; this is true. The new edition is not something they did in Japan, but it is something that WotC likes to do with their card games [M:TG - Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Revised, 4th, 5th, etc...]. The new edition will have 130 cards in it; a mix of the original Base set and the Jungle set. The so called "boring" cards from the Base and Jungle sets will be removed from this release, as well as other cards that WotC has deemed useless and inefficient. Information on the cards will remain the same, but they will have a different border color and set symbol; as well as some new artwork for a few cards and new decks. This new edition is scheduled for release sometime in February.
