Kyodo News of Japan has announced the construction of the world's first Pokemon theme park in Nagoya, Japan. They hope to get the park open by the 2005 Aichi Expo. The 2005 Aichi Expo will be held in Nagoya, and will last from March 25th to September 25th. They hope that the millions of visitors expected at the expo will also visit the theme park. At last, we'll have a Pokemon theme park! The results for the last poll (What would you like to be?) are in! A total of 1380 people voted, the most ever. 62% of the voters wants to be Pokemon Trainers, and 20% wants to be Gym Leaders. Those who wants to be Pokemon Breeders and members of Team Rocket are tied at 6%, and the rest of the options hardly had any votes. A new poll is up, once again, so please vote now. | |

I have added a Pokemon Colosseum Walkthrough thanks to LeaderMarina. The walkthrough is at its beginning, and will take a while to complete. I have also added a new poll. The old poll was: Who's the better Pokemon? 40% of the voters liked Mewtwo better, and 60% of the voters liked Deoxys better. Of course, I like Mewtwo a lot more, since it's my favorite Pokemon. Finally, I've updated the Fan Art section with two new Fan Art. | |

| Fire Red/Leaf Green Release Date | |
| Friday, April 2, 2004 @ 8:21 AM EST | |
|
Nintendo of America has recently announced the release date of the games Fire Red/Leaf Green in the U.S. According to NOA, the games shall be released this September, and the name of "Leaf Green" shall remain, instead of being changed to "Water Blue" as expected by many fans. Just like in Japan, included with the games will be a Wireless Adapter to trade Pokemon, chat, and play mini games. Yesterday was April Fools Day, and I thought of making up a little joke (see news post below), which I've never done before. It seems like a lot of people were tricked! I must tell all fans that I will never shut down Pokemon Dream. Why? Simply because Pokemon rocks! I don't think I'll ever stop liking Pokemon, because Pokemon is the best. Unless I die, or something very bad happens to me, you can bet that Pokemon Dream will always be online. | |

| Pokemon Dream Shutting Down | |
| Thursday, April 1, 2004 @ 10:18 AM EST | |
| After many days of deciding and thinking about the future of Pokemon Dream, I've decided to shut it down permanantely in a week. Pokemon has lost a lot of popularity, and I don't think I like it that much anymore. Pokemon is getting farther and farther away from me everyday. I'm sorry to all the fans, but PD will be no more. APRIL FOOLS! | |
