No, this site's not dead...

OK, I haven't posted in several ears. I've been extremely busy with life (not to mention this magical thing called Facebook.) But I'm not dead yet. I'll be back with more Pokemon (and non-Pokemon) stuff in the near future!

Two more C-Gear skins....

Until September 6, 2012, American and European Trainers can get a Worlds 2012 C-Gear skin using the password WCSCGEAR2012.

Also during that same period, a Crustle C-Gear skin is available for download for those who can't get enough of that little rock lobster. The password is CRUSTLECGEAR2012.

Worlds 2012 site now up!

...and the Masters' final round will be streamed live. Link here

Best of luck to all competitors!

Fight over Pokemon cards leads to something positive

Remember the fad years of Pokemon and all that came with it, good and bad? Remember when people used to fight over valuable cards? Well, it looks like something good may have come out of it after all.

The Daily Mail tells the tale of how UK Olympic judo hopeful Ashley McKenzie took up the sport. Long story short: as a youth, he tried to get a Charizard card back from a kid who stole it from him. The kid defeats him with a judo throw. Impressed, McKenzie does some research on the Internet, takes up judo, and the rest is history. I wish him the best of luck.

Wonder if he ever got another Charizard card?

Seize the Day with Porygon!

From now until September 27, Pokemon fans can get a Porygon with the special ability Analytic from the Dream World. A Porygon2 doll for one's virtual room and Porygon-Z C-Gear skin are also available. The doll requires no password to obtain, but the other two items require a password. The passwords are:

• Porygon: IGNPORYGON
• Porygon-Z C-Gear skin: PORYZCGEAR2012

Good luck to all at Nationals!

Later today, America's best Pokemon TCG players will be duking it out in Indianapolis, Indiana for the chance to become the 2012 National Champion. Tomorrow, it will be the video game players' turn to show who's worthy. Best of luck to all competitors!

The Pokemon Global Link is back up!

The Pokemon Global Link is back up, and it looks better than ever! I especially like the "Earth-from-space" look of the main page. The Cool Hole is now open and has been renamed the Icy Cave. Many Ground- and Ice-type Pokemon can be found there, including Sneasel, Onix, Snorunt, and Diglett. For those of you lucky enough to have Pokemon Black or White 2, you can actully catch Unova Pokemon in the Icy Cave, including Drilbur and Druddigon. Can't wait for that!

The Dream Catalogue has been updated with new furniture (mostly bath-related items), two new houses (a Treehouse and a Tropical Hut), and more Pokemon Dolls than a teenager's bedroom. Start growing those berries!
