A new Episode for the Holidays

In Japan it was announced that there will be a new Pok�Mon holiday special. The special will last for 2 hours, and I heard that it will a whole new plot line. The show will use the characters from the

Gold/Silver and Crystal versions. The name of the new holiday special is Raikou: Tradition of Thunder. This special is schedule to be aired in Japan on December 30, 2001.

There are many new Pok�Mon and new trainers in this special. In this new special there even new Team Rocket members. Eventually the Members of Team Rocket use a machine to attack electricity, but it also attracts Riakou, the legendary beast of thunder.

I can't wait until it comes out in America.

Pokemon E-Cards

There's a new Pok�Mon Trading Card Game out in Japan, and it's called Pok�Mon E. This new set features 34 cards. These new cards have the new technology that allows the cars to be swiped and the card�s info is transferred into a Gameboy Advance (see picture). There also was a new Coro Coro with an E-Card in it. The promo is

Ho-oh. It's attack is "Sacred Wings".

This new set looks very exciting, I can't wait until it comes out in America.

If you look at the new picture of the richu card you can see that it is an evolution!!! this is diferent from the recent Pokemon cards released in Japan. they resently just removed the evolution rule from the

Pok�Mon Trading Card Game with the release of the Pok�Mon VS expansion. Now they have put the evolution back onto the cards (I wonder if they have put the rule back in).

Pok�Mon Movie 4 available on VHS & DVD Soon.

The new 4th Pok�Mon Movie, Celebi: A Timeless Encounter, will be available on DVD and VHS on February 8th, 2002, in Japan. This new movie will come with an all new Pok�Mon E-Card. The card is a Suicune. The mini move that was played at the beginning of the movie was released on December 8th.

The new Pokemon Movie Poster!!

This is the poster for the fifth all-new Pok�Mon movie. The poster shows a pair of Skarmory like Pok�Mon. But are these really Skarmory? Is it possible to tell? Well with the release of the last Pok�Mon movie there was a trailer for the next movie. In that trailer there were those Skarmory like Pok�Mon, but they looked very different then a Skarmory. I guess well have to wait and see.

First off, the Pok�Mon TCG rules are getting a little addition and revision. Soon all Special Condition, including Poison, will stop Pok�Mon Powers from working. There will be another Special
Condition will be added, the new effect is burn (witch is different

from char). There also are new multi-player rules available soon. The new rule booklet will be released with Card E (I guess).

VERY IMPORTANT:
The new Pok�Mon movie poster was released recently (see article below) and featured two unknown

Pok�Mon (not Unown like the Pok�Mon) and they�re names are as fallows; Ratiosu the blue one, and Ratiasu the red one. They both have the ability to become transparent (as seen in the trailer, click here to view).

A New Pokemon Trading Card Game Set.

Mc Donald�s is going to release, with their Happy Meals, new Pok�Mon toys and Pok�Mon Cards. These Items will only be available in Japan. I gather that the cards will be sold separately though. The new cards will be E-Card compatible (since they're E-Cards). Each pack will be sold at 180 yen, and will contain 6 cards.

Mc Donald�s Releases Pok�Mon Toys & Cards!

Today's Top Head Line:

Great news for all you TCGers, a new set has come out!! That�s right a new set! The Neo saga, in all its glory has propelled along on our journey. It took us from our very fist steps with Professor Elm to the new and exciting legendary Ruins of Alph. Then we flew along to the Burned and Tin towers of Exrotique city to the mysterious beasts of Johto. Now for the Last and Final installment of the Neo chronicle, Neo Destiny takes it�s place residing among Titians.

Another new force in this expansion is Light Pok�Mon. That�s right Light Pok�Mon. One of these new lights is Light Dragonite. To pump this bad (good ^ ^) boy up are some new Miracle Energies. These new energies are good for light and shining Pok�Mon.

It�s your Destiny, Neo Destiny

The new set includes dark Pok�Mon, just like in the team rocket expansion. One of these new darks is the all-powerful Dark Gengar. There are plenty of others too but D Gar (Dark Gengar) is my fav.

In a resent issue of Coro Coro several pictures were released for the new Pok�Mon games. Some of these pictures were of new Pok�Mon and some are of battles. The Pokemon names are: Samehadda, Pelippaa, and Kinokoko.

New Images from Pok�Mon Advanced.

and the symbol for this new set is a small medal. This new

set has cards all previously released in sets prior to this one. For example the new set has Arcanine from base set while having Haunter from fossil. There is another new twist to this set. Each card has a reverse holo foil version of it�s self as well as a normal/holo form. As if this wasn�t already great there is another surprise. On top of each booster display box there comes a giant sized version of one of the cards in the set, WOW! This set comes in booster pack (11 cards) form or in one of the new theme decks (witch come with 61 cards) form. This new set twist around the new modified format with it additions like Bill and Pok�Mon Breeder, witch just shatter the playing field. All in all it�s a great set for collecting and I can�t wait to get my hands on some.

Tese are the new theme decks

These are the new booster packs

A brand new card set for the Pok�Mon tcg has been released. This new set is called Legendary Collection, and for good reason,

The Best of the Pack are Back!

A beaut isn�t it.

The five Pok�Mon are Kecleon - a lizard looking Pok�Mon, Azurill � the pre-evolved state of Marill, Volbeat � uhhh� a thing with wings, Wailmer � a water Pok�Mon who looks like a whale, and finally Wynaut � the baby from of Wobbuffet. I�ll have more pics later.

This is a very strange Pok�Mon I think. It looks to me like an electric type but a bug type as well. It also looks like a Darkness type too. It looks like it has wings and entire but I don't know for fact. If you have any info on this or other Pok�Mon than e-mail Professoroak77 so we can get every one updated. His E-mail is [email protected].

There have been many pictures floating around the web of the new Pok�Mon movie #5. I have a good picture of then new Pok�Mon to be seen in this movie, and here it is.

I also found this picture on the Internet and it startled me. WHERE IS MISTY?! To me it looks like they got rid of her for the new season or some thing. This is almost as bad as when Brock left!

This has got to be the best set of Pok�mon Cards released in over a year. This set contains cards like energy removal (2) and switch. It also introduces burn as a special condition! It also has Pok�mon whose attacks are actually decent enough to use. I am very excited about this new set.
