Welcome to the new web host everyone! As you can see, I made a new layout, as I said before. All of the content is not up yet, so do not be surprised of any broken links. None of the scans are back up yet, either, and I will be working on them for the next few days. I will not update for any news until I have completely finished, so I will be getting everything back up soon. I hope you enjoy the new layout! Also, remember we are now PokeBeach.com, so update your bookmarks and/or brains.

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Sunday - July 4th, 2004

»USA Nationals Winners: The official Pokemon TCG Website has put up a page on the winners of the United States National Champions Tournament.

To view the other winners and the entire list, you can visit the page at the official site by [clicking here].

»4th of July: Today is the Fourth of July for America! Everyone be sure to have a fun and safe time. Remember, if you want to enjoy fireworks in the future, be sure not to blow your eyes out when using fireworks. Keeping a hose handy or a bucket of water is also a good idea. Hmmm, maybe I should have made a 4th of July Banner...

New League Promo, William Hung, All Scans Downloaded

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Saturday - July 3rd, 2004

Wow, I missed two updates in one week. Yesterday was entirely my fault and I apologize. I got onto the internet to update the site, but was asked to run a small errand for my parents and then fell asleep after I did it. Sorry about doing that! I guess I didn't get enough sleep the previous night, which is why I dozed off.

»Season 11 League Kit Contents: The Season 11 League promos and badges have now arrived at Pokemon Leagues. Thanks to soslowpoke from the PokeGym, we know what the contents of the League Kits are. Firstly, you can win a Mind Badge, which is from the twin Mossdeep City Gym Leaders, Liza and Tate, in Ruby and Sapphire. Secondly, you can get a promo card, as usual. However, this time, it is not a reprint! It is a card we have never seen before as a promo, and is Chimecho, the Pokemon James will be capturing in the next Pokemon episode in Japan (possible connection?...). Below is a text spoiler of the card:

Chimecho - 70 HP
Psychic Type

(C) Resonate - Your opponent switches each Defending Pokemon with his or her Benched Pokemon. If your opponent has only 1 Benched Pokemon, you choose the Defending Pokemon to switch.

(C)(C) Healing Sound - Remove 1 damage counter from each of your Active Pokemon. Each Defending Pokemon is now Asleep.

Weakness: Psychic
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: (C)

»William Hung Interview: The official Pokemon website has put up a new article and interview with William Hung. The article gives an update on what William Hung is currently doing, and includes an interview where he talks about the Pokemon TCG. To view the article and interview, you can [click here].

»Scans Update: Today I finished downloading all of the scans Shakespeare has sent me. I had to go to my friend's house to use his DSL to do it, and it still took me five hours to download all of the email attachments of the scans and then burn them to CD. Anyways, I now have every single set scan on my computer, and will be editing them as soon as Summer School ends for me next Thursday.

New Pokemon Games, New Japanese Promos, 2-on-2 Team Multiplayer Battling

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Thursday - July 1st, 2004

Sorry for not updating yesterday. I started to take Summer School on Monday (unexpectedly) for Drivers Ed, since I found out you can only take it in the summer, and came home with a major migraine on Tuesday. I went to bed throwing up, and woke up just an hour before school started yesterday (Wednesday) and was feeling fine. So, I did the homework that I was supposed to do, and went to school, unable to update the site. Drivers Ed. Ends next Thursday for me, so when that happens, I will truly be free for the summer. I also will start the scans again the day I get out of Summer School, which means they will be delayed until then. Sorry about that!

»Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon WaterBlue: Thanks to Zak from the PokeMasters forums and the website, [Pokemon Forever], we now know of a new Pokemon game that will be released in Japan soon, as well as one that could be released. The new game that will definitely be released in Japan will be called Pokemon Emerald, and will feature Rayquaza. The game could involve fourth generation Pokemon, or could simply be a remake of Ruby and Sapphire since it is based off of a Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon. To the right, you can see the logo of the game on a Japanese magazine cover underneath the mouth of Rayquaza (the image is from Pokemon Forever). Also, there is a possibility that there could be a remake of FireRed and LeafGreen if this game is in fact a remake of Ruby and Sapphire, since WaterBlue was also trademarked with Nintendo when they trademarked FireRed and LeafGreen. This could mean we could be seeing a WaterBlue game in Japan soon, along with Pokemon Emerald. Once Pokemon Emerald is released, we will know much more about any future Pokemon games and if they will involve any fourth generation Pokemon.

»New Japanese Promos: The new Japanese Meiji chocolate set has been released in Japan. As we said before, one of the Attack Deoxys cards would be in the set, as you can see below. Most of the cards will most likely be thrown into an English set when they are released, or some could end up being made into promos, such as the Attack Deoxys. To view larger images of the scans, click the thumbnails below. Thanks to TheRealWobbuffet from the PokeGym for posting these scans.

»2-on-2 Team Multiplayer Battling: The official Pokemon TCG website has finally released the rules for 2-on-2 Team Multiplayer Battling. The rules consist of setting up, general game play, and card references. To read the rules so that you can start to play in this battle variant, you can visit the page with all of the rules at the official Pokemon TCG website by [clicking here].

EX Hidden Legends Pokemon TCG Website Updates

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Tuesday - June 29th, 2004

»EX Hidden Legends Commercial: As you may have seen from television stations such as Cartoon Network and Kids' WB, a new EX Hidden Legends commercial has been airing. The commercial shows the cards Dark Celebi, Registeel ex, Regirock ex, and Regice ex, along with a woman saying Awaken the secret within. Pokemon TCG EX Hidden Legends. You can find them at Pokemon-TCG.com. The commercial is only 15 seconds long, but to watch it from the official Pokemon TCG website, you can [click here]. Remember, EX Hidden Legends has now been officially released, so run down to your local Target store or card shop to get some booster packs.

»Dark Celebi Walpaper: The official Pokemon TCG website has not only put up a new commercial for EX Hidden Legends, but has once again put up new wallpaper of the set. The wallpaper is of Dark Celebi (as seen to the right), the Pokemon, not the card, and can be downloaded below.

Dark Celebi: [800x600 - Small]
Dark Celebi: [1024x768 - Medium]
Dark Celebi: [1280x1024 - Large]

Lots of New FireRed and LeafGreen Info, Card Scan Mania

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Monday - June 28th, 2004

»New FR/LG Info: The official Nintendo website has been updated with some cool new information on FireRed and LeafGreen for GBA, as well as many screenshots. The first feature it reveals about the games is that when you turn on your game, a flashback will be created in black and white of what you did during the last time you played. The flashback will give you visuals of what you did, and will describe what you did. The flashack will show you things such as items you obtained and other important events that happened. Another new feature added to the games is Teachy TV, which will give visual instructions on battling, status conditions, TMs, and much more. It is the perfect component in helping novices in the game, and will introduce people to the Pokemon games who are unfamiliar with them. If Teachy TV can't help you, the game will also include help menus that answer many frequently asked questions. As for the PokeDex, it has been upgraded and is even better than the Hoenn one. The PokeDex will now classify each Pokemon into a group, such as Forest and Grassland Pokemon. It will also tell you how many times you have seen a certain Pokemon, and how many of that certain Pokemon you have captured. Along with the new information, the Nintendo website has also added more screenshots to their FireRed and LeafGreen gallery, which can be seen by [clicking here]. Remember, Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen will be released September 9th in the United States.

»Card Scan Mania: Well, I now have every single scan of every single Pokemon card ever released (from the sets) saved on my computer, in very high quality. Shakespeare finished sending me all of the scans yesterday, so now all I have to do is edit and upload them all. Boy oh boy, I am going to have a very long and busy summer, since I have to edit over 1000 cards. ^_^; I will try to get them all up by the end of the summer, and when I do, PokeBeach will be the first website on the internet to feature every Pokemon TCG card ever made in very high quality.

Nationals Promo, New Section in Right Menu

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Sunday - June 27th, 2004

»Nationals Promo: Thanks to E-bay and ShinAkuma from the PokeGym for bringing this to our attention, we now know what the US Nationals Championship promo is. As you may or may not know, the US National Championship is a huge modified tournament taking place in Columbus, Ohio. The top four people of each age group will get an invite to the World Championships in August, and the top three people of each age category will get a trophy. The Nationals will also be revealing new things about the Pokemon TCG, such as 2-on-2 battling rules and a preview of the next set, EX FireRed and LeafGreen, which we will talk about in the future once people get back and inform us of what they have learned. Anyways, everyone who attended the tournament received a Charizard promo card, which was highly expected after the City Championship promos were Charmander and the State Championship promos were Charmeleon. To see a scan of the card, you can visit an E-bay auction with the scan by [clicking here]. Remember to check back here for what Nationals reveals about the future of the Pokemon TCG.

»New Addition to the Right Menu: I have gotten rid of the Pokemon Release Dates in the right menu and have added in a new section called Upcoming Events and Release Dates. This new section will remind you of any major upcoming events and of all major release dates for Pokemon products. In the next few days, I will try to add links to each entry that refer you to an official source and to a news story that I have posted to better familiarize you with the event or product. When you look at the section, you will see that it only shows one entry at a time, then scrolls to the next one. Always be sure to check that entire section out and all of the entries so that you know about everything going on in the Pokemon World.

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Saturday - June 26th, 2004

»Six New Deoxys Cards: The official Japanese Pokemon TCG website has posted six new images of Deoxys cards, which will be available though various products and events. The first and second Deoxys card (Normal and Attack) will both be in the Japanese Movie VS Deck (pictured right) that you can get when going to see the movie, along with a Gonbe coin! The third Deoxys card (Defense) will come with a Japanese magazine named Pokemon Wandaarando, while the fourth Deoxys card (the first one in the second row - Normal) will be released with Meiji chocolates. The fifth one (Attack) will be released at the Pokemon Festa this summer in Japan, and the last one (Defense) will be available with Japanese Shogakukan products. Wow, that's a lot of traveling for someone who wants to collect all of those cards! Hopefully when and if these cards are released in English, they will be easier to get. Thanks to TheRealWobbuffet from the PokeGym for the information on how to get the cards! Remember, we are and will be your #1 source for the Deoxys TCG set on the internet, so be sure to keep checking back!

»Scan Plans: Today I worked on 1/3 of Neo Revelation. I am planning on finishing the rest of the set tomorrow, but if it is not finished tomorrow, it will be up either Sunday or Monday. By the end of the summer, we will have every card scan in high quality from every TCG set, and will be the first website on the internet to feature every card ever released in very high quality. Be sure to check back to see the scans!

Another New Pokemon, EX Hidden Legends Microsite Updated, Neo Discovery Scans Up

By: [Water Pokémon Master] --- Friday - June 25th, 2004

»Another New Pokemon: I have learned from a few of my Japanese friends that in the next issue of the Japanese magazine, CoroCoro, new Pokemon of the fourth generation will be featured! So far, we know that one of the fourth generation Pokemon is the pre-evolution of Snorlax, named Gonbe. However, today a new Pokemon of the fourth generation had its name released. Its name is Koitsu, and it will apparently be a water Pokemon. We will bring you more information on Koitsu and all fourth generation Pokemon as more information is released.

»EX Hidden Legends Microsite Updated: The official Pokemon TCG website's EX Hidden Legends Microsite was updated today with three new games and three new wallpapers. The first game is called Hide N Seek. The game involves you moving your mouse around a picture that reveals the answers to questions that are asked. For example, the game asks you what Stage 1 Pokemon is in the picture, and you move your mouse around to light up the picture for the answer. The second game is called Ruins Trivia, where you answer TCG questions and then move on to smashing rocks for keys to download your wallpaper. The third game is called Double-Up, and is where you match up Pokemon cards to each other after flipping over two cards at a time. Every time you win one of the games, you get a chance to download one of the three wallpapers, which are Regice, Regirock, and Registeel. To play the three games and to win the wallpaper, you can visit the EX Hidden Legends Microsite by [clicking here], and then clicking Games. If you do not want to play the games and want to go straight to getting the wallpaper, you can download them below:

Regice [800x600 - Small] [1024x768 - Medium] [1280x1024 - Large]

Registeel [800x600 - Small] [1024x768 - Medium] [1280x1024 - Large]
