Today a special Pokemon TCG package has been released in Japan. It's the Pokemon ADV giftbox! It's a set containing everything you need to play the game: 2 decks (with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire character cards!), the damage counters, a coin, 2 markers, a manual and an introduction CD-ROM. There is a playfield included as well. All this costs 2500 yen, which is around 23 American Dollars!

First of all, Happy late Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed whatever they did for Thanksgiving. During every Thanksgiving, Macy's holds a huge parade filled with baloons. And every year, Pikachu's in it. So of course, Pikachu's there again. Click here for a picture of Pikachu getting blown up during the previous night.

This Christmas, a new set of Pokemon e-Cards shall be released that will work with Pokemon Colosseum. This set will contain twenty-four cards: twenty trainer cards and four "stage" cards. Each trainer has four Pokemon, two that are visible to you, and two shown simply as a silohettes.

The good part about this is that you can catch any Pokemon that appears on the card, which can then be transfered to your GameBoy Advanced.

It has been announced that the "missing" short movie of Pokemon Heroes will appear in the VHS and DVD release. The short movie's name is Camp Pikachu. The release will also include an animation progression feature, a trivia game, a location scouting in Venice, and character bios.

There isn't a preview for the sicth movie, however, but we know that 4Kids are dubbing that anyway. The VHS and DVD will be released in North America on January 20th, 2004.

New information on Pokemon Colosseum has been released. This information is about the RPG mode in the game. In this mode, you’ll play as a 17 year old. You’ll start your journey with an Espeon and an Unbreon, and a partner will accompany you. A mysterious group is controlling Dark type Pokemon. It is your job to steal (or snatch) those Dark Pokemon, with the help of your partner. Then the Pokemon will turn back to normal, and you’ll be able to use that those Pokemon.

Also, I have the new U.S. release date for the game. It will be released on March 22nd next year. It may be four months until the release, but trust me, time will fly!

The Japanese Nintendo website has released a new Pokemon Colosseum commercial, which can be found by clicking here. I will soon be taken screenshots from that commercial and putting it on Pokemon Dream. Stay tuned!

The Pokemon Center in New York is celebrating its second year anniversary this Saturday. It will be a day of partying starting at 11 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m.

Pokemon fans will be able to have their pictures taken with their favorite characters, engage in a Pokemon Pinball tournament, have your face painted as your favorite Pokemon, and so much more! If you live in New York, then you should be glad!
