Hey there, your local friendly neighborhood Poinko here, suckered int-- er, I mean, persuaded into updating Zeo for a day. I hope I don't burn the place down or anything...

Well, let's see... There's not much happening in the Pokémon World at the moment, but I bet there's a rumor or two floating around somewhere I can dig up...

It may not be Pokémon-related, but
IGNcube reports that Nintendo may be working on a Game Boy Advance Plus, an updated version of the GBA(and I just got mine!). There's not much of an update, rather than fixing the GBA's biggest complaint: a non-backlit LCD screen. Granted, it's rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

[ech's note] ...so does that mean that portable monopoly will be run out of business before they start?



Project: Zeo!

Woooooo! Here comes Project Z.E.O., and tonight we got a card straight from Eric's Mewtwo, art and all. We gave each member of the team a certain number of Pokemon to do themselves for those wondering, so tonight's card is of that hot-headed starting Pokémon, Typhlosion!

What a burning personality...

 

Well, since they get that many to do themselves, the Project Z.E.O. team still needs your help! So check out the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon they're still in need of, then send your best stuff to them! Your help is very much appreciated as always!



Pokémon Advance rumors!

It'll be like Pokémon, except Advanced! Ooooh!



New Pokémon Cards!

These are 2 new Trainer cards released in Japan recently. It looks like they're still going to be toying around with regular card layouts as well as the Universal format...

[ech note] actually, this is a card designed the for new TAG TEAM format, and it embraces both classic backs as well as univeral ones. its pretty hard to translate the pages, but we're working on it, so look for them tomorrow.. but from what i udnerstand and guess... the tag matches look really fun and innovative.



Well, other than that, nothing too new or exciting is happening right
now... I guess I'll end my update now.

Man, I'm glad I was able to get through that without burning anything to the ground! ^_^

*site suddenly bursts into flames and burns down for no reason*

o_oiii ech and pure're gonna kill me....

Greetings fellow Zeo-slaves, it is I, Eric's Mewtwo. Ech ordered me to update tonight, so out of the kindess of my heart (bribes aside) , I've taken time out of my busy(cough) schedule to post tonight's update, so lets get right to it shall we?


Lay off poor Elekid...

Low and behold, here's another card courtesy of Project Z.E.O., what a suprise! Heh, anyway, tonight's card features everyone's favorite type of Pokémon, Baby! With a funky hairdo and some hot, sweaty hands, Magby joins the ranks of finished Project Z.E.O. cards. Thanks to Mewsie for the nifty artwork, and thanks to KangasKid18 who supplied the cool attack, enjoy!

I'll spit if I wanna dangit...

• Well, well, there's yet another card down the tubes, still got lots more to do, so give us a hand! Check out the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon still need art or attacks, then send in your stuff! Your help is VERY appreciated, believe me!

Here comes Project Z.E.O. with a new card for your veiwing pleasure! This time we got the reindeer-reject thats probably disgruntled at Santa, Stantler! With some very nice artwork by RockyR, as well as attacks too, this is one mean doe!

look into my apple shaped horns...

Hey, Project Z.E.O. still needs your art and attacks, so check out the M.I.A. Listing to see what they still need artwork for, your help is much appreciated!



hey look! dune's got a report on the new ultimate pokedex too! check it out.... it's really well written!


Today I purchased the new Pokédex [as what is shown in Gold and Silver] at Target, which ranges at about $17.99 and is in Gold and has all 250 Pokémon [sans Celebi :(].

Basically, here are the pros and cons about the Pokédex Deluxe.

Pros: Better looking graphics, no more blockiness as the characters now resemble the Pokémon they're supposed to represent, and it's a fully-functional organizer, complete with memo section, calendar, security password and even a function on listing your top nine [extended from five] Pokémon you wanna catch. There's even a green light at the bottom to give the illusion of a functioning Pokédex when turned on.

Cons: First off, like Harry Potter's Spellbook, although the Deluxe does have a cell battery backup [basically for storing all your infodata in case your other batteries fail], it also requires 4 AAA batteries that are not included, and like the packaging suggests, I'd get Duracell Ultra and a small screwdriver. Yep, unfortunately you have to UNSCREW the battery back in order to get into it.

Search input is no longer an option for the Deluxe, mainly because Tiger was so busy inputting organizer functions into the thing, the search part is no longer available, but you can sort of bypass the problem by using the Sorter function that lists Pokémon by type instead. In order to look up your fave Pokémon you have to go thru the entire 250 list, fortunately, the back button lets you go backwards in case your faves are beyond the 151 mark.

Also the animations only apply when you access a feature, and not with the images :P, which made me wonder why because they were able to do it with Harry Potter, perhaps they couldn't program all 250 animations or something, but at least now the descriptions are more accurate and both Gold and Silver Pokédex descriptions are included when looking up the new GS Pokémon.

So what is the verdict on this, should you purchase this item? Well, basically, I would if you are a hardcore Pokéfan, otherwise this is just one of those collector's items that's better admired in the package rather than taken out. However, if you like the Tiger organizers and love Pokémon, then I say splurge for the $18-$24 [adding the cost of the 4 AAA batteries and possibly the small screwdriver]. As for me I like what Tiger attempted to do with this new version, and I'm wondering how the Advance Pokédex will look when the GCN and GBA games come out this fall.

Thanks,

Dunestar




hey! (i almost forgot....)

we also have last week's wizards pokemon chat posted for all to gaze upon.... they're now only an hour, so thats why it's so much shorter than usual.... probably about 50% shorter in fact ;)

for all those interested... here's a tidbit press release about diagon alley, the new harry potter expansion.


Explore the Enchanting Streets Of Diagon Alley in the New Card Set for the Harry Potter Trading Card Game From Wizards of the Coast

RENTON, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2002--Imagine stepping onto cobblestone streets filled with magical shops, such as Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Quality Quidditch™ Supplies or Ollivander's wand shop.

Source: Wizards of the Coast

In the Diagon Alley™ expansion, the latest card set for the Harry Potter™ trading card game from Wizards of the Coast Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc., Harry Potter fans of all ages can embark on new adventures situated throughout the famous thoroughfare.

Scheduled to release March 18, 2002, the Diagon Alley expansion features more than 70 new cards and introduces new character cards and magical items, as well as an all-new card type: Location cards. Location cards depict favorite places in Diagon Alley, giving players new opportunities to further explore the magical world of Harry Potter.

The Harry Potter: Diagon Alley expansion will be available in two-player Starter Sets (MSRP $9.99) and 11-card booster packs (MSRP $3.29). The updated Starter Set includes cards from the original Starter Set, which launched in August 2001; cards from the Quidditch Cup set, the first expansion; and cards exclusive to the Diagon Alley set. Included in the Starter Set are two 41-card decks, each with an exclusive premium card; an updated playmat; and a rulebook. The randomized booster packs introduce the latest, advanced strategies to decks and add new cards to the Harry Potter TCG.

The Harry Potter TCG gives players the opportunity to expand their experiences in the Harry Potter universe by providing them with situations similar to those that appear in the first novel Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. In the Harry Potter TCG, each player acts as a wizard or witch in training at Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and, through a series of turns, attempts to eliminate his or her opponent's cards. The first player to make his or her opponent's cards ``disappear'' wins.

With the introduction of the Harry Potter TCG League, aspiring witches and wizards have another venue in which to hone their game-playing skills. Launched earlier this month, the program allows players to increase their game-play skills and interact with other Harry Potter TCG players while earning Harry Potter TCG-related prizes. A complete list of participating retailers and further details about the Harry Potter TCG League, as well as information about the Diagon Alley expansion, are available at
http://wizards.com/harrypotter.

Wizards of the Coast is the worldwide market share leader in the TCG and tabletop roleplaying game categories. A leading developer and publisher of game-based entertainment products, as well as the owner and operator of one of the nation's largest specialty game retail chains, the company holds an exclusive patent on the play mechanic of TCGs and produces the world's best-selling Pokemon® and Magic: The Gathering® TCGs. Headquartered near Seattle, Washington, Wizards of the Coast has international offices in Antwerp, Paris, Milan, London, Beijing and Sydney. For more information on Wizards of the Coast, visit the company's website and electronic retail store at

well... gloom is making me tell you all that the reason he doesn't have an analyst is because spoilers are evil... o_O after the initial screaming and carrying on tho, we managed to get the spoiler complete, as well as the scans of the cards.

if you haven't
checked them out yet, make sure to.

and if you hanve't gotten destiny yet, make sure to check out premium stores TODAY... as some are allowed to sell it!

good luck!

Project Z.E.O. still needs your help, so be sure to check out the MIA Listing and submit your stuff! We're closing in on 251, and its all thanks to your help!




so..... what's new at the pokemon center this week? well... good thing you should ask cause pure was down there yesterday and got info on the pokemon league and everything!

• league should be starting in a few weeks... they have recieved the league supplies and are currently trying to negotiate a deal to hold the league in the rockefeller concourse as there really isn't too much free space in the center. the league signup sheets should be available in the next few weeks.

• the pokemon get machine is now back to giving out ledgendary pokemon! it took a haitus there for a while where it gave out eggs rather than pokemon, but pure said that it's back up and running and giving out good pokemon! she got a level 50 shining zapdos and a shining articuno on her gold an silver games respectivly. it also looks as tho you can get a new pokemon each week! of course pure isn't 100% sure of this, but thats what it seems like according to the signs that say "get a new rare pokemon each week"



we're just working on some other things... we have some SSB:M info that megs and dune have supplied for us... its just compiling it now... so we're keeping pretty busy.. so until tomorrow stay co.......

WAIT A MINUTE!

your destiny draws closer...

well. we're under a week now for the release of neo destiny, and the wotc online store has started selling boosters and theme decks.. for delivery on or about the 25th of course... here's what they say about theme decks:



The Pokémon: Neo Destiny Theme Deck is available for pre-order only. This product will be shipped to arrive at your door on or around
February 25, 2002.

Reveal your secret power!

Tap into your hidden potential with some of the most powerful Pokémon cards from the Pokémon: Neo Destiny set&emdash;including all-new Light and Dark Pokémon.

Light: Your game will shine when you challenge opponents with the Fighting and Water "Light" theme deck.
This deck contains 28 Energy cards, 22 all-new Neo Destiny cards, some in multiples, 2 Neo Revelation cards, some in multiples, and 8 Neo Genesis cards, some in multiples, for a total of 60 cards.

Dark: Opponents won't see you coming when you play the Fire and Psychic "Dark" theme deck.
This deck contains 28 Energy cards, 24 all-new Neo Destiny cards, some in multiples, 2 Neo Revelation cards, 1 Neo Discovery card, and 5 Neo Genesis cards, some in multiples, for a total of 60 cards.

These decks are for playing the Pokémon trading card game. If you are interested in collecting, you should look for the Pokémon: Neo Destiny Booster packs. Each deck contains:

* 60 cards (1 holographic)
* 1 Pokémon coin
* damage counters
* 1 Poison marker
* 1 generic counter
* 1 rulebook
* 1 card list

Each player must have a 60-card deck of Pokémon cards to play. All theme decks with the same name contain the same cards. Recommended for players ages 10 and up.


hmmm.... so we know that each deck has a fair number of neo destiny pokemon in them... and we can also guess that the holos will be light asumarril dark typlosion respectivly... hmm... since typhlosion is a three stage evolution and azumarril is a two stage evolution... in order to balance those out i would guess that the light deck would have the machamp line while the dark deck has the slowking line.... other than that its really anyone's guess i suppose.

guess we'll just have to wait until monday and find out about the set... but now the time ticks down to face your destiny...




well... eric is now... <ahem> disposed of for making me say stupid things in his little section of the daily update.... isn't that right 'eric'...
[ech has an 'eric' dummy on his lap] thats.... right... mister... ech.

[Eric] Talking like Mr. T?
[Ech] .....

bully.. bully... BULLY!!!!

Hey, we still need your art and attacks! So please give us a hand by checking out the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon we still need artwork and attacks for and sending in your stuff! Thanks alot!

[ech reclaims control over his update] ...i pity da fOO dat makes funna ech during their portion uh da update!




you know, pure always managers to get the coolest things... of course i think part of that is because of the fact that i live in canada and thus have no ACCESS to anything cool like this... and perhaps i'm very easily amused... but i mean LOOK AT THIS!!! it is so cool...

now we were planning on having a sound clip too cause this fella now only has 'slash 'n chomp™' action... but it also says it's name to! GATRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

unfortunatly tho, pure's mic wasn't co-operating so looks like we're just going to have to pretend....

FERALLLLLLL!!!!! GATRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

hey look! feraligatr is wearing a zeo dog tag! you can get one too in the zeo store and be as cool as feraligatr... well... maybe not AS cool, cause i mean that feraligatr is pretty darn cool.... ;)

GATTRRRRRR!!!!!!

yup.... i'm easily amused.

it started harmless enough... really it did.

i was just talking to dark mike about shining raichu... pure came on so the three of us started up a chat... and well... it just kinda snowballed to the point where i'm not saddled with gloom to defend some honor or something...
[gloom] oh you think I'M thrilled?!
[ech] you can't be in the update! you didn't even do an analyst!
[gloom] so?
[ech] so i didn't see you all night... that means that THIS gloom is a figment of my imagination...
[gloom] oh.... [figment gloom vanishes]

i really ought to stop eating those habeñeros before updating...

the great zeo international shining raichu battle
festival pitting gloom and i in a team battle against
pure and dark mike... will the world ever be the
same again!? (only $29.95 on PPV)

...nothing like a needlessly long link to brighten spirits ;)



Here comes Project Z.E.O.! Hey all, Eric here just doing a quick walk on role for Ech, got another card for your vieiwing pleasure tonight, this time around of a Pokémon Juicy Juice™ ain't got nothing on! Thanks to Mainframe for the nice artwork and attacks

a shuckle by any other name...

Hey, we still need your art and attacks! So please give us a hand by checking out the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon we still need artwork and attacks for and sending in your stuff! Thanks alot!



and yes... we DO have some ecard2 info for you, although nothing really more than we've had before...

still really little is known about the set, except that it's being released on march 8th, and we NOW know that it has a seaking and an elekid in it...

the set is called 'the city that is not on any map' (catchy name huh? we just get things like revelation and destiny... they get 'the city that is not on any map'... imagine phoning up the card shop.. "excuse me, but do you have any city that is not on the map boosters in yet?") and that they will sell in five card packs (like the original ecards) for ¥190... or about $2.00us.

was. now what i'm with isn't it, and what it is weird and scary

Do a bit on the people behind the games. EGM did this nice piece on Digipen, the only school in the world devoted to creating game developers. It's sponsered by Nintendo.

DeckHelper (4:50 AM):

Minoru Arakawa, the head of Nintendo of America steped down. That's news worthy.

DeckHelper (4:51 AM):

DeckHelper (4:53 AM):

The world as we know it enjoys pre packaged knowledge. No effort, no thinking, just gimmie gimmie gimmie. Society likes tidbits of info and stats. I offer such gems.

echidnadsn (4:53 AM):

uh... yeah....




are you ready?

well well well... looks like its time to put your money where you mouth is, as wizqards has finished up the professor program exam and its now online and awaiting your answers... but belive me, this is no walk in union park. if you don't actually study for this, you'll have a hard time with it, so be forwarned...

and just as a note, if you pass it and you're taken to the submission page, there is (as of right now anyway) an internal server error (seems as tho something is misconfigured...) anyway, don't worry about it. mtm assured me that the scores are still submitted and intact...

[looks over at gloom] ....that means you can stop your rampaging now you know.... [ech ducks as a ming vase sails at his head and smashes against the wall] ...i wonder how he'd react if he failed...

do you have what it takes to be the best?




Here comes Project Z.E.O., back with another card! This time around we got that walking-roast-dinner-next-tuesday Farfetch'd, with his lil' sprig and all! Thanks to Mewsie for the artwork, and Kailem for the attack...don't forget your glaze!

 

Duck Ala Mode....

 

Don't forget, Project Z.E.O. still needs your art and attacks! So check out the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon still need art and most likely attack! Your help is much appreciated!



check back tomorrow for a (hopeful) midday update! .....its just its late and i don't have the patience to put up with photoshop right now.... besides, it'll give you an excuse to come back later. ;)

have a good weekend!

well, we're rapidly working on your wizards of the coast sections of the site, and wizads is working on the professor program and challenge series.

from today's chat we have (a bit) more informatin on it, as well as an official suicune ruling (get a drink and go to the bathroom before starting this one folks.. its a long trip) and some more destiny info!

chatting up a.... yeah, i know.. can't ever think of a better link name



lucky lucky pure.... she got to go to the pokemon center yesterday.. and as usual they have a multitude of new stuff!



Well, I ran into town to do a few things today, and the trip wouldn't have been complete without a stop at the pokemon center. Early in the day on a weekday is a good time to go, it's not very crowded. I took a turn around the bottom floor to see what was new…..they have a new line of terrycloth plush beanies that are very cute. Priced at 6.95, pretty reasonable. The selection was very good….i recall squirtle, bulbasaur, charmander, totodile, chikorita, cyndaquil, jigglypuff, ditto, psyduck, lapras, eevee, meowth, cleffa, smeargle, wooper, quagsire, pichu, pikachu, sentret, slowpoke, marril, poliwhirl, and mew….i'm pretty sure there were more but I can't think of them offhand. I bought the totodile..so cute! There was also a giant terrycloth pikachu. They have another new plush line priced at 9.95, which includes pichu, meowth, and wobbuffet. Several new packaged plush assortments were there, the ones featured on the website. I also saw a nice selection of nightlights! Gengar, scyther, mewtwo were included, at a cost of 7.95. several new tshirt designs have been added, including a nice mewtwo one and a tyranitar.

New stickers and other stationery were to be found on the top floor, along with new poseable pvc's. they have all the legendary dogs/cats/whatevers now, and the legendary birds as well. Plus a good looking mewtwo. Those will set you back 5.95.

They've also got new straps for use on pokemon mini, gameboys, or other small electronics, featuring magby, pichu, and umbreon! I bought a neck strap with umbreon on it and it's pretty keen. Wrist straps are 5.95, neck straps are 6.95. they also had new colors of cases for pokemon mini, (pink and blue) and some neat laptop cases…sort of a neoprene type affair that zips open and closed, in a slate grey color with the pikachu/porygon2 pokemon center online logo on it. They seemed to come in two sizes, the smaller of which cost 19.95.

The pokemon get machine is still dispensing eggs, rather than legendaries or shiny or rare pokemon. I loaded in both my carts and got a bellsprout and a nidoran male. I put in eric's mewtwo's cart, I don't know what he got but hopefully its better than a bellsprout! Eric was nice and let me breed his tyranitar. Now I have four tyranitar eggs.

The coolest new addition to the pokemon center is the card e reader kiosk! They've got a card e reader/gba set up on a stand, with a bigger screen, and you can swipe your ecards in and give it a test. I didn't have an e card on me, but I plan to go back next week and give it a try, and then I can give a report on what I thought of it.

I meant to ask them about league….mtm said their kit has been shipped, so league should be available at the location soon. I'll try and remember to give them a call tomorrow.

Well, that's what's up with the pokemon center nyc these days….make sure you stop by if you have the chance!

man.... i can't wait until i live in new york.... ;)



Hey, Project Z.E.O. is back with two new cards! Woo! First card is that deep-sea friend of peanut butter and Spongebob, Tentacool! Thanks to Mainframe for the artwork, and RockyR for the nifty attack.

Buzzz buzzzzz buzzzz...

Secondly we got yet another trainer card that offers big help if you need that deep-sea Leviathon! Thanks to KangasKid18 for supplying the idea!

A wing and a.....wing....yeah...

Hey, Project Z.E.O. still needs your art and attacks, so take a look at the M.I.A. Listing to see what Pokémon we still need some help with!
