HGSS Quieting Down, Site Updates in the Next Few Days
Well, at this point Heart Gold and Soul Silver news has quieted down, which shouldn't be found as too big of a surprise. Next month's CoroCoro issue, a magazine in Japan which often reports the first Pokemon details (for those of you who don't know) should yield some more information, while the next Sundays we may also get something, though not a whole lot, on Pokemon Sunday.
As for site updates, I've been toying with different things, and I will be updating two things in the next few days. First of all, I will be changing the layout of the site to have menus collapsed from the start (using the magic of PHP) for those who have cookies enabled, while those who don't still shouldn't have to worry. Of course, the mobile and simple layouts I have previously mentioned also don't utilize the collapsing menu feature, however those still need to be tested.
The second updated will be the inclusion of further Pokemon Episode pictures. However, these will not be posted (at least not for now) in our anime section, and will rather be found on Pokezam's Sprite Viewer. I have found that this is actually incredibly easy, and for those who may want to do it themselves, the details are below. Keep in mind this is very simplified, and is only for the technically minded:
1. Download and install Firefox, the Firefox Extension "DownloadHelper", and FFMpeg.
2. Download any clip using the DownloadHelper extension in Firefox.
3. Open a terminal window or the Windows Command prompt and execute the following command:
ffmpeg -i video.flv -r .1 %d.jpg
Anyway, thats all for today. Stay tuned for further details of the upcoming Gold/Silver remakes and other site details. Please remember that if you have any problems with the site, including with the new layout, please email them to me by clicking here. I am not fully aware of every single problem that may arise.

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?
