Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Returning Pokemon
The official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website has revealed which Pokemon will be making a return from past Super Smash Bros. games to Smash Brawl. These Pokemon will emerge when a player throws the Pokeball item on screen. For the most part, the returning Pokemon have the same attacks as the previous games.
Suicune - An icy thunderstorm that strikes all players under it Lugia - Aeroblast will strike from the background, blasting everyone off in its path Entei - If a player gets hit with the fire surrounding it, they will land on top of its flames Staryu - Will float around screen and choose a player to attack with Swift Bellossom - Sleep Power will put any player to sleep near it Ho-oh - Sacred Fire causes a lot of damage to anyone who is struck Wobbuffet - Wobbles back and forth depending on how hard it is struck, using counter to damage others Togepi - With Metronome any number of attacks are possible Snorlax - Jumps into the air and falls down, knocking any player off screen that makes contact with it Mew/Celebi - Rare Pokemon that drop collectible items, such as CDs and stickers, to add to your in-game collection

Pokemon Blue - #37 on top Games of All Time
IGN has come out with their top 100 video games of all-time and Pokemon has made the list! According to IGN, a number of factors were taken into consideration, such as how good the game was compared to others of its time and how influential it has been in the realm of gaming. Below is the editors at IGN had to say about it.
Being a university student myself, it was nice to read an article that recognizes that Pokemon fans aren't just under 10 years old. It's takes an interesting look at the experiences of a Pokemon fan who is 24 years old. To read the full story, click here.
Pokemon - A dangerously accurate portrayal of society
The following article takes an interesting look at Pokemon by comparing it to the society in which we live in. Instead of claiming Pokemon is a fantasy world with nothing in common, the article draws parallels between the two universes, even comparing Pokemon and trainers to CEO's and employees. To read the full story, click here.
All I can say is that I can't wait for this game to come out! It's been years since SSB Melee came out. With online play, this game should be amazing! I might just get a Wii for this game alone. Anyone want to battle me when I get a Wii?
Heh, I've never played, though I think I'll get this when I get my wii. So, in a few months (hopefully sooner), yeah.

ZamFights Beta should come around Christmas, now.
Spoiler Alert:ZamFights Progress
Summary
ZamFights, a Pokemon Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by Pokezam's Webmaster Freezewarp, continues its development into Alpha 7, where you can trade Pokemon with a global trade station like feature and battle other trainers. Several bugs were also fixed.
Alpha 9, now in development, will feature numerous events and locations to go to, that is up to Fuschia. It will also feature the new, interactive map, numerous minor features, and an altered look.
Alpha 9 should come around Thanksgiving, and Alpha 10, or the public Beta, should come around Christmas.
Alpha 8 Preview
I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island!
There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?
