Thank you all for bearing with us during our recent server issues. I'm happy to report that the server is much more stable now - still not 100%, but a vast improvement. Many thanks to our tech support guys for handling that, and I hope we don't give them a heart attack this weekend. We're not the only ones who have been experiencing more traffic than...

Sorry for not including a Pokemon Sunday update at the usual time, but I've now moved back to campus for the start of fall semester, which means that I'm now stuck on an internet connection that can't hold a candle to the $20/month service back home. As such, I'm now unable to record Pokemon Sunday episodes. Thankfully, there wasn't much of an announcement...

Update (8/4/10): Junichi Masuda's blog has confirmed that only Isshu Pokemon will be available in Black and White until the player earns the National Dex! Let's start off with the rumor mill, then. There's an image currently going around claiming to be a scan from the September issue of Corocoro, showing Victiny, the sarcophagus, the heart-shaped fish...
The fourth group of the GPCT has ended and the four characters going to the next round from this group are James, May, Jasmine and Morty. In the most WTF instance of this contest yet, Deliah Ketchum, a.k.a. Ash's Mom, came in fifth place and just missed the cut. (Oh trolls, I didn't know we were that important to you!) Coming in dead last for both this...
According to an Official Press Release this morning, another WiFi Event is starting this Saturday. Players of PAL and NTSC versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver (that is, North American, European, and Australian versions) will be able to download an Enigma Stone to their games to capture the other half of the Lati@s duo not normally available in game....

Today's episode of Pokemon Sunday has revealed one "new" Pokemon: Bikutini, the previously unnamed Pokemon who appeared at the end of the Zoroark movie. We refrained from posting screenshots of this Pokemon because it was technically illegal, as cameras aren't allowed in Japanese movie theaters. Now, however, we have its name and appearance on regular...
The second round of the GPCT has ended and the four characters going to the next round from this group are Lance, Blue, Steven and... Professor Oak! Giovanni and Misty just missed the cut, while the Navel Gym Leader from the anime, Danny, came in dead last. The full results can be found here, and voting for the third round can be done here.

Frost has been so busy with all these Black and White updates that I haven't had a chance to get a word in myself. That's OK, though; I've been busy. First off, there are several more videos available on the HeartGold & SoulSilver Videos page. We're on our way in Kanto now. While I'm at it, don't forget that you can check all the preview videos...
The first round of the GPCT has ended and the four characters going to the next round from this group are Cynthia, Ethan, Riley and Sabrina.

Last year, we had Psypoke Idol 2, where Lugia emerged victorious out of 512 eligible Pokemon. This year, we are holding the second Great Pokemon Character Tournament. We first held this contest entirely on our forums in 2005, and thought it'd be a good idea to bring back to give the site an activity until the release of Black and White. GCPT2 has...
