Pokémon Video Game Championships returning in spring 2010

Returning participants will notice that most of the rules and guidelines are the same as last year, but we've been working hard to make exciting changes that will make the 2010 Pokémon Video Game Championships better than ever! These changes include:

• Players now using Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver Version games exclusively
• Pokémon Level 51 and higher being automatically graded down to Level 50 for the duration of the battle using a new auto-leveling feature
  • Each Pokémon keeps all of the moves it knew before being adjusted
  • Pokémon that evolve after Level 50 don't devolve
  • Any Pokémon below Level 50 will stay at its current level
• Virtually every Pokémon found in the National Pokédex of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions is eligible, including Pokémon traded in from earlier games, with the following exceptions:
  • Arceus, Celebi, Darkrai, Deoxys, Jirachi, Manaphy, Mew, Phione, and Shaymin cannot participate
  • A team cannot contain more than two of Dialga, Giratina, Groudon, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Lugia, Mewtwo, Palkia, and Rayquaza during a battle

Stay tuned for more information regarding the upcoming Pokémon Video Game Championships! Look for details around March 14th when Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions arrive in stores!

Not that it's a surprise, but the announcement gives us some sort of idea of a timeline.

Pokemon Redesigned in Traditional Japanese Style Artwork

Some these pokemon are pretty cool looking.

Ho-oh and Lugia figures to come with pre orders

Also Arceus if you get both, but the GameStop dude already gave me one (I think it was used for black friday Platinum pre orders as well).

ECPL at MAGFEST

Hey folks, just wanted to let everyone that the ECPL was well represented at MAGFest by myself (Mike TV aka Ground Gym Leader and PokeMatt ( aka Normal Gym Leader). We both took place in the Pokemon tourney there, where Pokematt and I engaged in an epic battle in the semifinals. I moved on to the final round, but was defeated in a very close battle that pitted my Rain Dance team against a very well-trained group of pokemanz, including one very tough Breloom. Congratulations to all that participated, and I hope to see some of you here!

This is pretty Awesome!

Not the original source, but I wasn't able to refind it.

US Arceus Event Announced

This is copied from Serebii in case any of you haven't seen it yet.:
The new issue of Nintendo Power has supposedly announced the US dates for the giveaway of the final fourth generation Pokémon, Arceus. According to it, Arceus will be given away in Toys 'R' Us Stores across America from November 7th to November 15th onto your Diamond, Pearl or Platinum games. This Arceus will unlock a special event in Platinum which gives some of the theoretical back story of Arceus and when transferred to HeartGold & SoulSilver, it unlocks a special area called the Shinto Ruins and gives you access to a Level 1 Dialga, Palkia or Giratina.

Breeding Relicanth

My god is it a pain.I can't breed it with a ditto because I need it to have head smash. It only has a 12.5% chance of yielding a female, so I have precisely a 0.5% chance of getting one with the nature I want. On the plus side, I'm keeping every female I get, so if anyone ever needs a female relicanth of a particular nature, there's a good chance I'll have it when I'm finished with this ordeal. Has anyone else ever had some weird breeding circumstance like this? There hasn't been a legit post on the blog in a while, so let's have some input!

We were SPAMed!!!

I disabled the feature that allows members to email posts to the web log. My guess is that a web crawler found the address and started to hit it with SPAM. Other than changing the address, I removed the feature. I suggest that the admins of this site NOT re-enable this feature.
