Updates I Missed by Paul

Ok, SORRY! I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I do have school + part time job + relationship now so updates have become increasingly harder to remember to do. MY BAD! I'm going to work from here on out to be better about it, and summer definitely means I'll have more time on my hands. So I apologize. Please keep visiting the site? (>~o~)> HUUUUUUG!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 Launches :: Some of you noted in the comments for the previous post (yes, I do read them) that I hadn't covered this. Oops. Yeah, it came about. I was going to buy it but something came up. Reviews overall have been lukewarm...complaints have mostly been about the graphics still looking GBA-gen and it being too easy. The punishing system of losing everything has luckily been remedied though (now you just lose what you don't have deposited) and full WiFi support for rescues to boot. I want to check this out later. Of, y'know, if Nintendo wants to send me a copy...I could review it...

Majestic Dawn (TCG) coming :: There are also pre-release tournaments over North America beforehand too. Check the locations and dates for the PRE-RELEASE tourneys here or just buy a pack when it debuts on May 21st. [Anyone live in Minnesota? We could have a PJN meetup. Comment on the story if you're interested.]

Mystery Dungeon 2 Codes :: Pokemon.com is giving away codes for new missions that normally can't be done, so here's your FIRST code: N04K +HCW &TF& 7M16 KHMH FR@% May 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th will all yield new codes, which I'll put on the site.

Pokemon Puzzle League on Wii :: On May 5th Nintendo officially made PPL available over the Virtual Console for 1,000 Wii Points (~$10). I was never a huge fan of this...I'd rather buy Snap. If I had some Wii points. But I don't.

Phew, that should be the biggies. Sorry 'bout the slowdown guys!

Third DS Installment Coming? by Paul

Serebii has caused quite the stir by announcing that CoroCoro will reveal the third game in the Diamond and Pearl series next month. I guess only time will tell if that really comes true.

Right now it has been dubbed 'Pokemon Opal' because Girantina's name comes from the apanese word for Opal, another precious stone which would fit in with the Diamond/Pearl line.

Guess we'll just have to hold our breath, huh?

So... by Paul

Everyone have a good day on Serebii? =] At least they have a good pokedex! You might have to deal with a bad layout, but at the moment I have no excuses either. New layout coming soon.

Pokemon Ranch OUT in Japan by Paul
  03 / 27 / 2008 || Category: Games

Not so many new details, save for a few:
* Diamond/Pearl not required, all games start out with 6 Pokemon (including Pikachu) and one is given each day. NO WORD on whether or not this will be transferable to your game card, but it can be assumed these will not be super rare. We've seen the screenshots with swarms of bidoofs
* Game abilities are unlocked as you level up your ranch. At the beginning you get severely limited control, essentially just being able to watch your Ranch. You can 'level up' your Ranch by getting more Pokemon there. No word on whether or not there's a daily limit for transferring Pokemon information from D/P, ala RSELGFR to the DS.
* Like Pokemon Box in a more graphically enhanced and game-ish setting. So basically if you're not going to use Ranch in tandem with Diamond or Pearl, it's not worth getting. Good for organizing Pokemon though.

Over the next few days I'll update the page with the new info and more as it trickles out from Japan. Also more screenshots =] Yay!
