The official Japanese Pokemon website has released new screenshots for the newest announced Pokemon RPGs: Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green. These few screenshots show enough to allow us to understand that this will be an even better game than Ruby and Sapphire. To view these screenshots, please click here.

I have finished the PokeDex up to Pokemon #251 (Celebi), which is all of the Gold/Silver/Crystal Pokemon. It has been hard to work on the PokeDex, and I only have 135 more Pokemon to go through.

I have added a ton of Fan Art. These artworks belong to artists who have submitted their drawings from over a month ago. If you're one of them, well, what I have to say is: They're finally up!

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! And now, the main topic.

Those of you who come to Pokemon Dream often should have noticed that I modified the main page, which is the one you are looking at right now. I have taken out the Site Updates, and merged it with the PokeDream Times, which before appeared on a seperate page. I feel that more people will be able to read the news this way, and read the updates on PD at the same time.

For the rest of the year I will be working hard on the site to put up a ton of TCG information and hopefully, get done with most of the PokeDex. And next year, Pokemon Dream will be an even bigger and better website than ever before!

Wow! At 10 a.m. in Fukuoka, Japan, more than 900 people are waiting in line before the Fukuoka Pokemon Center is officially open. According to Pokemon.com, the Pokemon phenomenon is still red hot.

In Japan, an omnibus 2-CD is released! The best Pokemon anime songs from the period 1998-2003 are on it. There will also be a 44 page full-color booklet and the discs feature cute Pokemon art.
Check the cover art by clicking here. The CDs will cost 3200 yen, which is around 30 US Dollars.

The English dub title of the 6th Pokemon movie has been announced by Nintendo of America. The movie, as you might know, is based on Jirachi, a small legendary Pokemon. The original Japanese title was translated as The Wishing Star of Seven Nights. The dub title was announced as a simple Jirachi Wish Maker, and of course, it is subject to change. The short movie's name has not been announced. Let's just hope that this time when they release the film in the States, they'll show it in more than 300 theaters.

Nintendo of Europe has announced the released dates of Pokemon Channel and Pokemon Colosseum. They will be released during April of 2004, and summer of 2004, respectively. Although these are not exact release dates, now everyone should have an idea.

The posters of the seventh Pokemon movie has been released on the official Japanese website. The main movie is based on Rayquaza, the legendary Dragon Pokemon. The title is The Fissure Sky's Interviewer. The short movie stars Pikachu, and Plusle and Minun. The movie will be released on July 17th, 2004. I will be getting more info as soon as possible.

According to the official Japanese site, Pokemon Fire & Leaf will enable trading and battling Pokemon wirelessly through a special adapter for the Game Boy Advance. Check it out at http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/fireleaf02.html

Pokemon Channel was released today in the United States, so you should be able to find the game in stores. Pokemon Dream currently does not have too much information on this game. However, we will be trying to get as much info as possible.
