It has been confirmed by a number of sites that the Darkrai that will be given to people at various Toys R Us stores across the United States is identical to the one that was given away in Japan during the Movie 10 Premiere.
In the anime (in Japan right now), Satoshi/Ash and friends have moved on to the fourth gym town to meet and eventually battle Crusher Wake.
Not to go too off-topic, but I think there should be a Stickied Minor Updates thread,.... for, well, minor updates.
Like I didn't want to waste time or space posting that The Rise of Darkrai came out Tuesday .... or posting Shaymin's (fake) new form hoax. (It was darling, BTW.)
It seems as though I have disappeared again. Se ya soon, and please, use email (rehtaew@gmail.com). I'm 20 times more likely to read your message then over PM (and 30 times more likely to reply).
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?
While browsing for sprites, I ran over this sheet. It seems to be the new Ranger female hero named Hitomi. This is a Japanese name, so until the US gets Ranger, all hail Hitomi.
Also, if you have any info on Ranger, post it here.
Updates from the official Japanese site, read if you're interested though there is no new information on Platinum.
- The Pokemon Center stores in Japan will be celebrating their 10th anniversary very soon and some special commemorative trading cards with Pikachu on them. To view them, click this link:
Ugh.... the cards look like crap. It's just a lame Pikachu posed the exact same way. =( What a huge let down... For being the 10th anniversary of something, you'd think they'd go all out and hand out real Pikachus or something crazy like that... You know how the Japanese are. XD
Still no major information on Platinum though some new interesting cards are being released. Some for the Diamond and Pearl set and another set being released to commemorate the 11th movie release. The updates are here:
