bonus midday update!!!! well....i went in to the pokemon center. i only actually met up with jolt, so we'll find out later when everyone else was there. BUT i did manage to snag a pair of tickets to the pokemon 4 ever premiere, AND we got....the elusive....often sought out.....but never ever THERE..... POKEMON CENTER E PROMO i bet you're just dying to know what it is....i mean, hasn't everyone? what oh what could it be? well.....brace yourself.....cause you are in for a bit of a shock.... here it is!!! another view of it!! i wonder if anyone saw that coming......anyways i'll give you more scans of stuff later, and a real report on what we did. wow... already almost done september.... @_@ hard to believe. anyway, today we have some islands cards, some info on the new forums... hmm... and something else... what... was... it... oh yes! thanks to magmar2000 we have some ecard five, a week early no less! ...i wonder why they put release dates on these things if they always release them a week or two early anyway... [scratches his head] Hey look! It's Project Z.E.O--err...wait, that's over with. What's this now? Oh! A new Orange Islands card, hooray! This time around we got some card courtesy of Eric's Mewtwo, focusing on one of Luana's fiery Pokémon. So without further a-do...or is it to-do...do-do? Anyway, here's Luana's Charmeleon!   Him go down the quicker.   as you can see from the past two days, we have eric and poinko working on islands now... and we all know how strict they were in getting the project zeo cards done... orange islands live again! ;) nah... the islands crew have been doing a great job, and we should be getting a regular onslaught of cards now, plus we're working on making some other fake cards.... hmmm.... ok... im gonna tell you a little bit about the new zeo forums... currently we're running on an ezboard, but that has gotten REALLY expensive, so a couple months ago we started looking for alternatives, and we found a really great one. over the past month (one month exactly!) i learned basically all about php with the help of vash, and we have come up with really amazing results i think are pretty good. i reeeeeeeeally can't tell you much more than that they are done, and we're just doing some last minute tweaking, checking, and so forth. so watch for more information soon... how soon, we'll have to wait and see ;) alrighty... now i gotta run, so i'm turning the rest of the update over to pure, who has some ecard 5 stuff for us! gooooo pure! huh wha? oh! uhh...well, mags was nice enough to share some e5 info with us (go check out his place, pokeschool, some time) and so, i put a list together. not too many scans so far, but, for a week ahead of the release ain't too shabby. so, if you would like to go look at that, you are cordially invited to click.... RIGHT HERE if stuff is linked wrong, sorry....its three thirty and i'm just ready to drop. speaking of three thirty, if you're in the nyc area tomorrow, come along to the pokemon center at around three thirty! pm. cause me and maybe some other people from zeo will be there. look for a report on what all was going on over there tomorrow. and...yeah. now i really want to go to bed. see you all bout later!

so if a light dragonite with recycle energy is facing an expedition charizard (that was put onto an lssp'd brock's ninetales) that has dark energy on it that is burned to fire (but remains dark because its taken away the special attributes because of the dragonite) and the dragonite ends up getting fried by firespin, does the recycle energy end up back in the owner's hand or does... @_@ ok, its not THAT bad, but it is one of the featured pokemon situations in this week's wotc chat report. man.. and they thought DITTO was bad. ah well, fortunately not all the time was devoted to the delightful dragonite... we also found out that the poor mt's have just BARELY received some expedition to answer questions with, and the people who won prizes in the theme deck challenge haven't gotten any. well... any from the theme deck challenges that is. everyone is looking forward to battlezone, probably none moreso than the mt's as every week the questions about it intensify.... but it still looks god for professors to help promote battlezone in local areas. anyway, enough of my rambling... you should go check out the wotc chat report... its much more exciting :D [officer] mr dragonite, im giving you a ticket... one of my favorite episodes of pokemon was always when pikachu went evil... you know, butch and cassidy had that thought wave machine with the drowzee and it made all the other pokemon evil? now that was what i called a good episode. well.. except that pikachu overcame the evilness... but still, it was kinda fun watching pikachu turn on ash. ... >>ok fine, so i have a weird sense of entertainment. but i KNOW that this card is good entertainment! we have an orange islands card from poinko featuring that dastardly drowzee droooooow.... keep watching for more islands cards.... or else maybe we'll have to promote the entire orange crew and make them do twice as many cards.... woooo! roll out the yellow carpet! pokemon4ever starts in like two weeks (two weeks today actually) and the pokemon center is having a promotion! Get ready for an exclusive opening night event courtesy of Pokémon Center NY. To help us celebrate the premiere of the Pokémon 4Ever movie on October 11th, we're giving away hundreds of free tickets to a star-studded event at Loews Theater E-Walk in Times Square. Be one of the first 200 people to make a minimum purchase of $100 at Pokémon Center New York and you'll walk down the yellow carpet (in honor of Pikachu) at Loews Theatres E-Walk, where you'll also get a chance to take a picture with the movie's star, Celebi! Pokémon Center New York will also be giving you the star treatment with a goody bag filled with Pokémon stuff (shhh! The contents are top secret!). Need more details? Tune in to Radio Disney between September 25th and October 4th for more details, or pick up the New York Times on September 27th and check out our ad for details and something extra &endash; all compliments of the only official headquarters of the Pokémon universe &endash; Pokémon Center New York! ooooooh... top secret stuff... [whimpers] now not only do i want to see the premier in new york, but i want a good bag filled with stuff... hmmm.. i wonder if i order online if they will pay for a plane ticket out too...

ech went to work...so...sorry, you're stuck with me AGAIN! let's see if can find anything. anyone planning to be in the nyc area on saturday? we're planning on meeting up at the pokemon center, time still under debate. most likely the early evening. if anyone wants to show up, that would be nice. there's a topic about it over at the forums... well do you remember yesterday i told you i meant to have some new blanks for you? well, i have good news, and bad news....the good news is, i finished them! the bad news is....bandwidth ran too high this month, so we need someplace else to stash them so we don't run up more overages. it must have been the expedition and corocoro that did it....anyways, i'm sure at least a few of you are wondering what i did...and i was really wanting to show them off, so we made a card to showcase the new blanks.....be forewarned i did a really bad job on the pic.... what COULD the new blanks be.... we'll have a full array of those available for download, hopefully tomorrow. we'll have to see about finding storage space for em. and lest you think that is all i've been working on, well, it isn't! there's still another set of new blanks to come. now then! i hear the latest and greatest gamecube game is animal crossing....well, at any rate most of my friends have it. it sounds fun, i'd like to check it out...but i can't help but think its a bit light in, well, pokemon. for those who like some pocket monsters with their virtual villages, zeo is proud to present... oh, you know you want to buy it poinko deserves absolute heaps of praise and so forth for making that. i know there are a lot of people who post their photoshop work over at the gallery.....but this is a) not only better than just about anything i've seen there, it's b) NOT EVEN DONE IN PHOTOSHOP. poinko used good old photo deluxe. i for one think he did a fantastic job. ho hum. well, such as it was, it was update. we'll see you all tomorrow!

ech's not feeling well tonight, so its pure again..... i WAS going to have something new and exciting in the blanks department, but alas i did not finish them. so, you have to wait til tomorrow......i think you will like them though. you'd better....this was a tough one. @_@ actually i have 2 projects going on in that area! people who have seen the previews have admired them, so hopefully you will too. anyone planning to be in the nyc area on saturday? we're planning on meeting up at the pokemon center, time still under debate. most likely the early evening. if anyone wants to show up, that would be nice. let's see...i guess you'd like some actual news, huh? let me see what i can come up with. i'll tell you what, daily updated sites are a pain, sometimes. [sits on the edge of the couch and swings her legs back and forth] so..yeah...update. hmm. i COULD go look for news, or i could get the news to come to me.... to paraphrase phatgnome 'who needs research when you have a chatroom?' i'll go try my luck in there! •••••••• well, let's see here....there are lots of people who are happy to bring the news to me. here is a little writeup by gloom, a nice condensation of the news that went up on www.pokemon.com today....(guess who added the comments in red... ;) ) The official Pokemon website, Pokemon.com had a slew of updates today. They detailed two more of the E-Reader minigames, this time focusing on Hold Down Hoppip and Diving Corsola. I've heard that the Corsola game is the best one out of the bunch…dang, I've really gotta get my hands on an E-Reader. >_< (i'm getting one in a few days! :D) In the movies section there are lots of new goodies tied into the upcoming fourth movie. Downloads of note are some nice wallpapers, a reportedly excellent screen saver, some updated information, and some new flash features. The Pokedex has been updated too, to include celebi. A few new product bundles have been added to the online store as well, prominently featuring characters from the new movie. (they did that in the regular store as well....i mean, rearranged stuff and set up new displays of movie-themed merchandise, like celebi and suicune products.) Master Quest episode guides are also being posted, and the site has an article about TV guide's placement of Pikachu in the "Top 50 Cartoon Characters Of All Time" list. Woo! Pikachu delivered a solid beatdown to several classic characters. Oh, and there's an awesome contest where you can win a shopping spree, an exclusive Mewtwo V-Trainer figure, and have yourself sculpted as a Trainer action figure! Pretty Sweet! (ooh...yeah, i remember posting about that a while back. that would be cool...) Whew, that's a lot of action at the official site. Definitely worth a look see! thank you gloom! that saved me a lot of work. i wonder who else would like to submit some news..... ooh! dr. ashtear would!!! fire away!! •••••••• *shlumps in in pajamas* Hey Zeo. How's it hanging. Tonight, you got me, Nick Ashtear doing the update, or something. *looks for update stuff* Ohh, kay. Impov time. (i feel your pain...)   (insert Zeo HP logo here) (errr....looks for logo...dash it all, where'd he put it!? oh well, you all know what it looks like right?) *Zeophytes groan* Oh, gimme a break, it's the best I could do on such short notice! Anyway, on to the update fodder. The fifth book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," is the fifth chapter is young wizard Harry Potter's life. For those interested on when this book is coming out and such, you can find stories here and here For the lazier type, JK says probably December in Europe. Also, the new posters are out. You can see those at www.harrypotter.com, the official site. Some of you may have saw the new trailer recently (as I can see by the forums). Is nice, no? (they showed that at the spiderman/mib2 double feature...looks good) As far as Pokemon goes, all I really know is that I got a Tyrannitar Box Topper recently and no one's getting it. ( i have one of those too. sooo nice.) Actually, the new Card-e set should be coming out soon in Japan, which means we'll be seeing it soon, as well. (october 4th!) Well, that's all I got for tonight. Thanks again for letting me do this. Fun! ^_^ there, see, it pays to be up late and hanging around the chatroom. never know when i'll try and get you to do my work for me. :D anyways, i hope you all have a real good one day, and we'll see you tomorrow, hopefully with less improvisation.

eh heh heh.. seems like we've been getting a number of emails telling us that we're mistaken about that pokemon gamecube poster we posted last night, and that its fake. when we posted it, i did mention that the legitimacy of it was in question due to this being the first mention of such a thing. i think that when i said the 'image' (meaning the graphic file) was real, (a somewhat failed play on words... ^_^") that confused people and it sounded like i was saying that the poster itself was real. at any rate, i didnt mean to imply the poster was real. the person who made it has supposedly owned up, so take all that as you like. soooooo...no need to keep alerting us to the fact that the poster is fake... we did cover that as a high possibility when we posted it, and again sorry for the confusion the wording caused. thanks tho to everyone who mailed in commenting on it. least we know you're keeping on your toes :D following up on the electric garden theme deck list the other night, we now have the contents of the echo theme deck. thanks to soslowpoke who gave this to us... echo...echo...echo...echo.... Pokemon: 22 4 Abra 2 Kadabra 2 Alakazam 4 Gastly 2 Haunter 2 Chansey 3 Clefairy 1 Clefable 2 Meowth Trainers: 12 2 Copycat 3 Professor Elm's Training Method 2 Full Heal 2 Energy Seach 3 MooMoo Milk Energy: 26 2 Fighting Energy 2 Fire Energy 2 Grass Energy 2 Lightning Energy 16 Psychic Energy 2 Water Energy so THATS where all the energy has gone! anyway, i really like the new alakazam, but the one flaw i saw in it, was that its only as strong as my opponent's deck... so like if they have a bad deck, so do i :D still... one can never go wrong with an alakazam deck.... last thing for tonight is a cool little thing made up by dunestar. its a set checklist for expedition. man... with the size of sets now, and with the regular and the rev holos these checklists make trading a LOT easier.... you wouldn't beleive how many rev holo lc machops i got before i FINALLY realized i had it already.... check this out!

hmmm......lessee here.... seems like news has been slow lately, even tho there's new sets being released left and right, and there's the move the anime.... and no cool new news. anyway, we have a couple things today. one is japanse and one is..... well... haf questionable origins. o_O well, the japanese trainer magazine has had a long streak of promos lately, and this month is no exception. the promos this month are those wacky happy (albiet long forgotten with the dog/cat/whatchamacallits) legendary bords articuno, zapdos, and moltres. SKWAARK! hmm... it looks like they all have similar pokebodies, as there are a lot of similar looking characters in it... perhaps not the same effects, but it looks like their names could be similar. the first attacks however, are all the same... 10 damage and an effect for [*] thanks to 'showcase leaqer' for the pic! note to 'showcase leader': thats the only name i could find on the email... ^_^' thanks tho! now then... apparently this image hs been floating around the net for a few days now, and its kinda gotten some mixed reations as to its legitity. pokemon online! (fake) ok, so here we have an 'official' ad from nintendo it looks like, promoting pokemon online on gamcube. hmmm..... now, i know a LOT of people (read: every pokefan) is looking forward when pokemon finally makes a console debut, and what a debut it would be to have it online as well... buuuuut.... im just wondering about the origin. i mean, we haven't heard ANYTHING about something past ruby/sapphire from japan yet, of course that doesn't nessisarily mean that they [nintendo] wouldn't put out a trailer this soon (say for a fall 2003 release in the states) so then... the virdict? [ponders] well, this is certainly a REAL image. :D it has a real looking pokeball with a modem jack.... however im not about to claim to know where/who created it... yet. thanks to snojoe for the pic. note to snojoe: note how i didn't call you snoj in the update? woo! go me!

hmmm....well, you got me, pure, updating tonight.... O_o what are these blue gel dividers?? let's see...update...update....[looks around vaguely] oh! what do you think.... guess who dropped by today. 'sensei! he was hardly 'in the neighborhood', he and wendy drove up five hours to get here. we took the train in to the city and visited the pokemon center, and met up with pokepop. we all bought stuff, and bugged the staff about the e promo. i didn't bug them hard enough, but 'sensei and 'pop did cause they got some of the old promos, as a reward. it pays to be pesky. or...'charming', as the case may be. ;) then we wandered off in search of food. passed up a street fair for mcdonalds and the dollar menu, ate, and opened our card e boosters. you know, out of 5 boosters, i got 3 holo/rare packs.....and 4 out of 5 of my parallels were rares...five boosters gave me 14 rares! i LOVE this set! and when i use caps, gosh darn it, you know i'm serious. 'sensei got 12 packs and only 2 holos...BUT he did get a parallel metal energy. when we were done with all of that, we embarked on a wonderful subway adventure, which spanned 48th and 5th to 86th and central park west. (you know the retiling in the 81st street C station is looking preeeety nice!!) we then got in 'pop's car and drove back to my place. we then did some trading, and talked about a lot of different things til it was time for everyone to go. awww...it was fun. it will be good when the challenge series starts up again, i miss everyone!!! 'sensei did buy an electric garden theme deck, and was nice enough to let me get a deck list for it. so! if you are in the market for an electric garden theme deck, this is what you will get! electric garden   4 oddish, common 2 gloom, uncommon 1 vileplume, rare 3 koffing, common 1 weezing, rare 2 hoppip, common 4 mareep, common 2 flaaffy, uncommon 3 pikachu, common 1 raichu, rare 2 electabuzz, uncommon 3 potion, common 2 switch, common 2 copycat, uncommon 2 bill's maintenance, uncommon 1 energy search, common 1 power charge, uncommon 12 grass energy 12 lightning energy you also get a metal pikachu coin, 2 markers, damage counters, and an updated rulebook. oh! and of course, a randomly inserted parallel foil, which is the only holo/foil in the deck. 'sensei got mary's impulse. tee hee...that sounds funny if you say it out loud...i don't know why. well, while we're on the subject of expedition, i'll mention that ech updated the tcg index page to include all the new sets we've talked about on the site lately. take a look! that would be expedition, nearly the full set, card e 4 and what we have of card e 5, as well as the movie half deck. index update! oh! and we have a card from the orange islands set......ech will be happy to have this one finally make an appearance..... psychopathic voltorb! and i think that'll have to do for you all today. we'll be back again tomorrow with more! enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

[ultra hyper mega cool divider goes here...hey, if ech is going to do what I think he will, I may as well make it look cool] [pffft.. you aint seen NOTHING yet!] [now hows THAT for ultra hyper cool, eh eh?!] There is a new episode of Pokemon: Master Quest today. Episode #2 of the season is called Fly me to the Moon. Unless they change the name on me like they did last weekend! [shakes fist at TV set] It looks like this episode involves a Pidgey flying very high, so make sure to watch if you like Pidgey! Check your local listings for when this episode will be on. [ech] pidgeys are dangerous... the exploder...] [watches a pidgey fly into the room, explode then spiral in a stream of flames hitting mags on the back of the head] And guess what?! We get another new episode on Monday! That episode is called Bulbasaur ... The Ambassador!. Cool name. =) [ech] nooooo!!! its NOT cool! its terrible!!! [spoiler-highlight]bulbasaur leaves!!! he stays with oak!!!! its not fair!!!![/spoiler]   [another ultra hyper mega cool divider goes here]   Well, Card-e 5 is coming to Japan next month. I'm sure it will be a cool set. We can all hope Magmar is in it! We do know some of the cards in it. Like Crystal Celebi, Beedrill, and Gyarados. But now the Pokemon Card website has updated with a picture for the set. Here is that picture: [ultra hyper mega cool picture goes here....just covering my bases] In the picture we see Charizard and Articuno, like on the booster pack design. It is pretty obvious they will be in the set. The Charizard looks kinda shiny... maybe it will be a Crystal Pokemon too? But in the picture we also see Moltres and Xatu. Looks like they might make it into the set too. Yep, Card-e 5 will be a pretty cool set. It will be released in Japan on October 4th.   [another ultra hyper mega cool divider goes here]   That's pretty much everything I have for you guys today. So I hope you all like the new Master Quest episode today, and those of you who are going, have fun at league! And to everybody else, have a great Saturday!

am i the ONLY person who hasn't gotten any expedition yet?! certainly feels like it <sniff> and its very hard for me, cause im used to getting the sets before most other people... ;) sooooooo we had the wotc chat last night and expedition really seemed to be in everyone's minds as well as ways to exploit poor venusaur's bounty harvest power. if you were unaware, thats the awsome power of attaching two energy to your active! O_O yeah, like beware.... anyway, (un)fortunatly if you have more venusairs on your bench, or things like blaine, you CANT add more energy. im sure the people playing against venusaur love it, whilst the people who are going to use it.. well, they probably dont. i guess not everyone has gotten thier expedition fill yet... sounds as tho there have been delays in some areas, and it hasn't even reached overseas yet... hmmm... maybe if i'm terribly lucky, i can get some tomorrow. of course i wouldn't mind getting an ereader too. even tho we can't use mew's cool super kill em all attack in dci tourney's it still does add a new level of fun to the game. speaking of tournements, the wotc crew are rapidly finalizing deatilas on a LOT of things.... 2003 challenge series, new professor stuff, and of course BATTLEZONE! sounds like pokeprofs will be able to both preview and promote battlezone. man, i just hope that my stupid store doesn't pull another thing like they have with league past two years... >_< i guess if worse comes to worse, i can get it shipped to my house. anyway, all that and more (not to mention 3.14) comes your way in this weeks wotc of the coast chat report! read it and weep! um... with excitement! yeah! o_O weep with excitement.... 3.14... what am i SAYING!   [sobs] oh its so beautiful!

pure was in manhattan today, and she got a quick chance to stop off at the pokemon center... and she has some great new info for us! i stopped by the pokemon center today since i was in the city, picked up a couple of expedition boosters (i got a third tyranitar! i'm in business now! :D) and continued my quest to find out info on the elusive e promo. i think i lucked out, because the employee i talked to actually seemed to know something about it. he told me the cards are being made, but they have not yet received them. he told me there would be two. i asked how we can get the promo, if it would be only given out through the nintendo power ad, and he said that was one way it would be distrubuted. other ways were in store events, usually on weekends, in the contests they hold there. no word if it will be available with a purchase. ,this is similar to the distribution of the first few promos. he had no date by when to expect it, but did say that nintendo had run the ad too early. e readers did arrive today, and i was told they'd be placed out on the floor, so e reader should now be available at the pokemon center. they are also doing a bit of advertising for the next movie, with posters and so forth. in other pokemon center news, the league there just finished the grass season tournament, and so they should be beginning the lightning season. they still have eggs in the pokemon distribution machine, and are now carrying a line of pokemon themed greeting cards. that's about it from the center this week!   if you haven't pick up your ereader or pokemon expedition cards yet, you'd better hurry! you dont want to be the ONLY one on the block without them do you?! well... DO YOU?! well... we had some translations yesterday, and we have some today thanks to roarkiller. roarkiller used our scans in order to get some partical translations of some of the new ecard5 cards, and from the sounds of it, they seem pretty cool! Celebi: Pokébody is called Crystal Type. Its first attack seems to be Shinkle Feel I think, the 2nd is Psycho Trip. For the 2nd attack, its effect seems to be decided on a coin flip and Celebi being returned to the hand. Gyarados: Its Poképower is Vapour Flame while its attack is Dragon Revenge. Its attack which does 50 may increase to 100 in some circumstances (can't make out some of the text). Beedrill: Its attack Needle Rush seems to be very strong. You flip 4 coins like Discovery Scyther, and like it, the damage varies with how many heads you flip. The base damage is 10, and additional damages are 10, 20, 50 and 90. Considering its cost is only two colorless, a possible 100 damage with a single double colorless makes this card seriously broken. One more point for the Speedrill archetype I guess. he has a lot more stuff than just that too! you gotta make sure to check out his site... lots of really good content. ROAR! killah's world!

booyah! the ereader was released in many places yesterday and we have heard a lot of reports of people getting and falling in love with thier new technogadget. ...of course SOME of us still need to get a gba first.. THEN we can get the ereader... anyway, tonight we have a report and a bunch of scans from dunestar about the ereader and various applications it has, and then tomorrow we should have one from poinko as well, along with some more pics! let us gaze upon the glory that is scanning cards... one of the things i'd make sure to do is scan the expedition mew... find out what its second attack is :D ...oh, and in case anyone was wondering, much to few people's surprise, it looks as tho you can't scan japanese cards into the american ereader. :( <sniff> there goes the whole REASON i was collecting japanese ecards! um.... yeah...i was collecting them on the sole purpose that one day i might have a gba and ereader and remember to scan them.... that and the prospect of getting crystal lugias :D oooh yeah! speaking of ecard4 [trust me, we were....] we have a little bit of a blurb on the mini games from it too.. although not much. The ACTION Q which can enjoy the action game of side scroll type combining the data which is recorded to the side cord/code, (action queue/cue). The E where the game appears for the first time 2nd feature, and E 3rd it continues in feature, the map of E 4th action queue/cue is hidden even in feature. As for the latest 4th feature map, degree of hardness is highest the in present! The person who has self-confidence in the person and the action game which practice with the former map will try challenging by all means! Of course, because there is also a data of the new character, Pokemon Card-e 4th feature with the action queue/cue which can be tasted " the ground which rips " probably will be enjoyed,! WOAH!!!! tasty backgrounds which can be enjoyed?!??! WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING THESE ARDS ALL WRONG!!!!! [starts eating his ecard4 collection] oooooooooh we also have some more corocoro fun! following up the info we had last week, we now have some more info on pokemon r/s, the anime, ecard5..... we were lucky enough to get some of it translated... [mars staggers in from the back room] mistah ekh... can i please just have a slice of br- [ech looks sternly at mars] [mars] yur right sih.... i'll just eat the sheets of paper as i'm done translating... so then.. you dont want poor mars to have starved in vain now, do you? [sounds of squeeling come from the back room] EEEEK! A MOUSE!!! I MEAN DINNER! go take a look at the updated coro coro section! coro coro: take 2

woooo! today is the day that the ereader is supposed to come out! along with pokemon expedition later this week. now you can get all those cool new cards, and also play those cool mini games! (i just gotta smash those rocks.. oooooh yeeeeeah) looks like there are two other games to go with the ones we showed you the other night. in addition to machop at work and flower power, there's also diving corsola, (why a fish needs air pockets is beyond me...) and keep hoppip down, where you have to um... keep hoppips down. theres a good article about the ereader games over at wotc that marril pointed out to us. it explains all about the games and a little brief on the e-reader technology and its relation to pokemon. dive corsola, DIVE! hmmm.... need to find out which cards you're going to need to get the games? make sure to check out the updated expedition base set list that we have. we now have scans of at least one version of every card (still missing that holo/rare difference...) minus a couple. make sure to check this out to figure out what cards you need! experiance expedition of course... pokemon is only one small faction of what the ereader can do! here's a couple of articles about classic nes games, as well as animal crossing. everything you ever wanted to know about pokemon card-e... and more! ecards for more than just your poke-fix! looks like i'm going to have to go out and get an ereader. [thinks] ...oh yeah... and a gba.... ^_^' hmmm... then i'll need animal crossing for my gamecube... um... that i will have to buy as well... ^_^''' ... oh look! here's a nice... stand alone ROCK... no accessories needed for THIS toy, no sir! [sticker on the back of the rock says 'batteries not included']   [checks his email before proceeding to see if there's anything else for the update] marril2k: compendium done, update yes! o_O yup... he's finally lost it. alright... a couple months ago marril started working on a project. a very big project and one that he really was consumed by. (..beleive me, i know cause i had to answer a log of the questions ;)) finally the day came when i could answer no more... and he started asking eric questions. (hehe... suckah!) but... after months of hard intensive work, we now have a complete ruling guide of virtually every card that we've made on zeo. also, marril went out of his way, and made both of these into pdfs, as well as compatable with palm pilots! aaaaand... in ADDITION to all that, we also have an official zeo apprentice patch that has zeo edition and project zeo cards in it. ... wow. way to go marril! you did great on this job. [looks in his pile of stuff for a new next to impossible task] the zeo compendium: everything you wanted to know but were not afraid to ask.

last chance to get some expedition singles before the set is released! the prices are still low compaired to some of the previous ones, so get in there and bid bid bid!   midday update! hmmm.... been a while since we've been able to do one of these.. but here we go! looks like the pokemon franchise is even straonger in japan now, where it looks as tho they are opening a third pokemon center in october. as you can see, its home is in nagoya, japan, and it'll open on oct 11.... month and like a week before the new games hit the street. anyway, the new center logo includes pikachu, chikorita, and the new water starter guy. hmm... we have pika, chika, so lets call this new guy..... [thinks] ORANGECHEEKA! soooo... expedition comes out soon... and not to be outdone by the pokemon franchise, there is also a new harry potter expansion making its way to stores. seems like soslowpoke is always up with all the harry potter info and tonight is no different. he's given us some information on the latest hp expansion, the chamber of secrets, which is being released soon, and it includes cards based on the second book in the series.... In the Chamber of Secrets expansion set for the Harry Potter trading card game (TCG), you'll encounter magical Spells, Items, Creatures, Characters, and Locations from Harry's second year at Hogwarts. Guess Passwords, take care of fascinating Plants in Greenhouse Three, do grueling work in Potions class, and spend lots of time with everyone's favorite wizarding family, the Weasleys. And that's just the beginning! also, there is a new chamber of secrets trailer posted over at the official site... much better than the teaser trailer posted over the summer. wooooo!!! big news tonight is CORO CORO!!!! pure scanned all the images and wrote up some really great comments on them too. we have information on the anime! ash and gary are there... along with a lot of people we've never seen before... we also get to see 'fire from hands' guy in action! there's new stuff from pokemon ruby and sapphire! we have some new teaser pics, sugimori pics of all the currently released advanced pokemon... plus some interesting new items.... hmmm... what else... ECARD5!!! yup! pure has information on the newest ecard set that looks like its going to be released on october 4th (aww MAN... one day after echidnaday....) heh... kinda sucks considering the ONLY ecards i currently have are some ecard1 and a few odd ecard 3. ...<sniff> so many sets behind. so take a look at whats new and coming in japan... hopefully you'll all see something you like... and i'm sure i've missed some stuff too... so you'd better take a look! coming soon(er than you might think!)

only a couple more days left.... expedition comes out this week, but with so many rares, (like 60+) what are the chances of getting the cards you need for your decks? simple! just check out pure's auctions for really great deck cards that you can buy now before the set is released!   hmmm.... what do we have today? well, pure got coro coro yesterday! yaaaaaaay! she said that there were a lot of really really great pics and info about pokemon r/s, the new anime, and even more! so she was up until like 4 am scanning and working on the pics, but unfortunatly she was really tired and her hands hurt from typing so she couldn't get it up for you tonight.... but! it will definatly be up tomorrow night... pending anything happening of course. i'm gonna see if i can't do something to help her out, but without a doubt, we hope to have corocoro up tomorrow night with some cool exclusive info. so stay tuned!

[pure takes over the update for the night] theres just a few days left on the second batch of expedition. i kind of hated to sell some of em, but you do what you can. later on i'm going to be putting some fabric and costumes up on ebay. so if you are the type who likes to go to ebay remember my name if you're in the market for a halloween costume. ;)   well, marril was going to update in honor of his 15th birthday and finally getting to take the professor test. but....i think he's off taking the professor test, so...sorry, you're stuck with me tonight. i've sort of put off doing this hoping to think of something to update with.....and mags has graciously reminded me that pokemon master quest begins tomorrow! check your local listings. the first episode is called....'a whirlpool affair.' so...there you go. [chases down and corners ang] orange islands card!! orange islands card!!! it's nice having a reliable staff that is almost always someplace you can catch them. Ang: Tonight's Islands Card is none other than that beloved Fish, Remoraid. I always thought Remoraid was cool because it was a- Betty: FISH! Ang: Well...yeah...i guess thats part of it.   i guess i can give a little update on site type stuff....with zeo's 2 year anniversary one month away, we've been doing some reworking and redesign of some things. work on the new forums is going really well. ech has been pouring a lot of effort into them, and they are shaping up really nicely. hopefully we can announce an opening date soon! if i don't get to work on the emoticons, then i'll be the official holder up of the new place, and i don't want that. we're talking over a few contest ideas in honor of the new forums, so you'll want to stay tuned for details on that. a few other projects that kind of got shoved to the side have been dusted off, and who knows maybe we'll actually get 'em finished this time.....what else. oh! i'm working on a new desktop. i know the art output hasn't been much around here lately, but i'll see what i can do to remedy that. today i'll swing by and see if coro coro came in early, and check over the expedition scans to see if i can fill in any that were missing from the second box. hope everyone has a good weekend, and we'll be back tomorrow with more!
