Trading Cards and Platinum News


24th September 2008 5:05PM EST GMT+10


Storm Front Cards Revealed


The first two cards from the upcoming Storm Front TCG expansion have been revealed via Pokemon USA's website, the two cards are Dusknoir (series mascot) and Piloswine.


News via PokeBeach.com

My Platinum Opinion


While playing through the Torn World yesterday it definitely wasn't as exciting as I'd expected but it was still quite interesting, it is basically a giant maze/puzzle much like you'd find in a gym or cave since all you do is find your way around and move rocks via strength. Once you finally make your way to the end (which can take some time) you fight Cyrus then battle Origin Forme Giratina and Level:47. So far Platinum has been quite fun, Pokemon fans will love noticing the little differences while others will just see it as what should have been the full version of Diamond and Pearl. Overall not a lot has changed but enough to make it worth purchasing, there are much bigger changes compared to Emerald anyway.

Pokemon Ranger News


22nd September 2008 5:06PM EST GMT+10


Pokemon Ranger 2 heads to Europe


Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is heading to Europe with the slight name change "Pokemon Ranger: Eclipse over Almia". The game was given a General rating back in August for Australia and will arrive in the US this November.


New Feature Video


As you can see towards the bottom of the left menu we've updated our Feature Video with a new Platinum preview video.

News has now come to a halt with Platinum's release out of the way, once I've completed Platinum I promise to update the site as often as I used to. I'm currently about to hunt down Cyrus in Mt. Coronet, I know I'm slow but with full-time work I don't have a lot of time to play each day.

US Pokemon DS Bundle


Well on Tuesday my new Pokemon DS Lite bundle arrived from the US which included a Palkia/Dialga DS Lite, Carry Case, Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Darkness anime DVD and Mystery Dungeon poster. Click the image below to view more pictures located on our forum.


Platinum, fastest selling DS game


The newest Pokémon title for the Nintendo DS, Pokémon Platinum was released in Japan last Saturday and had sold 967,675 copies in it's first two days on sale. By Monday it had well passed the million sale mark and that figure continues to rise with each passing day. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl together sold 1.58 in their first week in japan with 5,571,456 copies currently sold, analysts predict Platinum will shatter these records. The previous fastest selling DS game was Pokémon Diamond and Pearl which stole the title from New Super Mario Bros.

Platinum and Fan Art


Okay to start with we've got some new Platinum info from Filb.de, it seems up to four players can simultaneously use the Voice Chat function over Wi-Fi now. You may remember the Egg Jumble mode mentioned a few posts ago, well it seems this is done in the underground, finally as we already posted weeks ago you can now get e-mail notifications sent to you to inform you when things such as your GTS Pokemon has been traded.

The Pokemon Center Japan have released a new Rotom plush toy for Halloween but why Rotom when a Pokemon such as Dusknoir would has suited the holiday better, could this have something to do with those five Pokemon silhouettes?


Next up in the Fan-Art Section, we have a new Wallpaper available which you might like to check out along with series three of our Wii Photo Channel Displays.
