Super Smash Bros Brawl Leaks

As most of you have probably heard, there have been some leaks regarding the final roster of the new Super Smash Bros. Some reports have been fake, but it appears Kotaku has some news and the screenshots to back it up. Lucario and Jigglypuff Have been confirmed, plus a host of other characters and bosses. w00t!

A Little Closer

When you go to pokemon.com now, the flash animation directs you to a new site, darkrai.com. Still no word on darkrai's release, but I guess the news will drop there first.

PokemonCenter.com is shutting down

You may have saw the headline in the corner.
Shut down date is Jan 31 2008.
This is you last chance to get figurines for your gym/favorite pokemon.
I may pick up an Umbreon, since I already have a Weavile.

MLK Meet Up

So it seemed like today would be a good meet up day for a number of people. Who's still down, and where and when do we want to meet?

I Am Lucky...

Hey All,
It's a pretty well-known fact that the odds of getting a shiny pokemon are 1/8192, which is ridiculously close to zero. Well, for the second time in during a breeding project of mine, I have hatched a shiny. The first time was with that Cloyster (which I should have used in that battle that I lost against Mike yesterday) and this time was with a numel/camerupt. I don't know what its IVs are yet, but it least has the nature and ability I wanted (again). Nevertheless, regardless of its IVs I am really happy because it's my personal opinion that Camerupt is one of the coolest looking shinies in the game.

It makes me wonder though whether the odds of breeding a shiny are really the same as encountering a shiny in the wild. It could be that I did something that I only had a (1/8192)^2 chance of doing, but that seems kinda hard to believe. Although I also bred this awesome corsola the other day that who's lowest IV is 24/25 in two stats where 3 stats were 30/31 and the other was 28/29.

Also, ending this really long post, I noticed pokemon.com has changed and now has a flash section that shows Darkrai's silhouette and asks "who is this pokemon?"
