The Next EX Set - EX Team Rocket Returns We have some very cool news tonight. The next set that everyone thought would be released in America that was based on Deoxys and Rayquaza will NOT be the next TCG set. Instead, America will be getting an EX set based off of Team Rocket, called "EX Team Rocket Returns." (the set logo is on the right) But there's more! This set will be released at the same time in Japan, meaning that no one will know of any spoilers in the set until it is released! Sounds like a pretty cool plan from Nintendo. Below is the description of the set:Pokemon card game players remember the power of Team Rocket and Dark Pokémon. EX Team Rocket Returns brings great new gameplay and tremendous excitement to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Look for the EX series debut of Mewtwo ex, Snorlax ex, Gyarados, Ampharos, Dual Energy Dark Pokémon, a new holographic parallel set, a box topper in each booster display box, and much, much more! As you can see, Team Rocket will be using both Kanto and Johto Pokemon, but no Hoenn Pokemon since Team Rocket is not affiliated with the region (and it is already taken by Team Aqua and Team Magma). I find it odd how they are releasing another Mewtwo ex, but I am thinking that it and all of the other cards in the set will be based off their Team Rocket, Gym Heroes, and Gym Challenge counterparts, such as with EX FireRed and LeafGreen being based off of the original sets. As for the Deoxys set, I am guessing it will probably be released when the Deoxys movie comes to America, or that it will never be released and the cards in the set will be thrown in to a variety of different sets. Remember, the pre-release for the set will be the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November, which is what we reported a while ago except that we thought the pre-releases would be for the Deoxys set. We will be your #1 source for EX Team Rocket Returns, so be sure to check back here every once in a while for any new news on it! Also, when the pre-releases role around, you can be sure PokeBeach will be the first to have the scans of the set! |

| School Starts Today :(, No Updates Tomorrow No updates today or tomorrow. Today I start school, and I am sending my laptop to the repair shop to be fixed. So, no scans will be added for a possible 1-2 weeks. However, I will be using my mom's computer to update this site with news and site updates, so you can still come back for those. :) Tomorrow I will be settling in at school, and will have to go to school at night to get my picture taken and will be going to some stores to get any extra school supplies I need, which is why I won't have time to update tomorrow. So, be sure to check back here Saturday for the latest news and updates! |

Neo Revelation Scans Up The Neo Revelation scans are now up! To view them, as well as the card list, you can [click here].New Header The Deoxys header was getting kind of old, so I decided to change it. The new one now fits the theme of the site (waves at a beach, not a starry sky), so I think it will look a bit cooler. The background is a photograph from real life that I took at the beach today (cropped, of course), and the Blastoise and Squirtle are from the original banner on the old site. I hope you enjoy it! The Deoxys header will be put back on the site for a few weeks when the Deoxys movie comes out in America. Important Info on Scans I have been receiving multiple daily e-mails from people asking to use PokeBeach's scans on their website. To save some people time from writing an email, the answer I tell everyone is basically a "No." (not that flat out, of course) I do not wish to be mean or rude to anyone when telling them that, but the high quality scans are what makes this site unique. If the scans were allowed to be used at other sites, this site would lose its uniqueness since other people would have what is the primary content of this site on theirs. So, I am sorry to say this, but PokeBeach's scans are not allowed to be used on any other website. There are no exceptions. Also, another note. This has happened three already within the past few weeks, and it sickens me. People have stolen the scans off this website (entire sets at a time), and have covered the PokeBeach watermark that are on each of the cards with their own logo, as well as claiming ownership to them. Thanks to people who visit this website, I was notified of these thieveries and was able to have the people remove the scans from their sites. So, if any one sees scans from this website on another one, even if the person with the scans says on their site that they got permission from me, please notify me by going to the "Comments and Questions" page. Hopefully, no one else will steal from this site ever again with people on the lookout. School Oh boy, school starts tomorrow for me. :( For everyone else starting school or that has already started school, good luck in the school year, do your homework, and study for all your tests! Have a nice school year and stay out of trouble! :) |

EX FireRed and LeafGreen Released EX FireRed and LeafGreen was released yesterday. Today I did some hunting for booster packs, but all the stores I went to didn’t have any. I went to four Target stores in my area, called a few out of my area, and none of them had them, so I am assuming Target will be getting them late (Toys R Us didn’t have them either). If you want the packs early, you should try a Mom and Pop card shop, since they usually have merchandise early. Remember, EX FireRed and LeafGreen will feature Kanto Pokemon that are similar to their original counterparts from the very first Pokemon TCG sets, and will have 30 holos in the set (including EX’s and secret cards). To view the complete card list of the set, and the most scans of the set you will find anywhere else on the internet, you can [click here].Pokemon Emerald Commercial  The official Japanese Pokemon website has put up a new commercial for Pokemon Emerald. To view the page that contains the links to the commercials, you can [click here]. You will need Windows Media Player or Real Player to view the commercial. The first links under each of the categories are the low quality videos, and the second links under the categories are the high quality videos. Pokemon Emerald will be released in Japan on September 16th, and in 2005 for America. |

TV Show Schedule / Next New Episode Updates I have updated the TV Show Schedules for Kids’ WB and Cartoon Network at the bottom of the right menu. Kids’ WB has started to run new episodes of Pokemon after months of showing re-runs, so I also updated the “Next New Episode” section in the right menu for two new episodes that will be on Kids’ WB next Saturday. One of the episodes will feature the return of an old Pokemon that once caused chaos for Ash and crew in Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, so be sure to watch both episodes to find out who it is! Upcoming Release Dates Updated The “Upcoming Release Dates” section has been updated with the Deoxys TCG set pre-release dates and the estimated release date of the set. To view it, scroll down to the middle of the right menu. |

| I don’t have much time for an update tonight. I was talking to one of my friends on AIM this morning and he told me that letters were sent out to students in our grade saying we have to read a book for the summer. Since I have been on vacation for a week, I did not receive the letter at home, so I did not know about the reading assignment. So, since school starts next Thursday, I need to start reading it immediately (since I hate to procrastinate). I bought the book late today from a small bookshop, so I will hopefully be able to spend a few hours tomorrow finishing it up. Tomorrow, after I finish reading the book, I will be working on the Ruby and Sapphire sprites. I have already taken screenshots of half of the sprites, and I made a cool animated PokeDex to go along with the sprites to display them. So, be sure to check back tomorrow! |

| Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I had a major headache and the LCD screen wasn't making it any better. Anyways, two updates today… EX FireRed and LeafGreen Theme Deck Lists Thanks to GymLeaderPhil from the PokeGym, we now have both of the EX FireRed and LeafGreen theme deck lists before they have even been released in stores. The first theme deck is called EX FireRed, and features water and fire Pokemon (with a holo Pidgeot). The second theme deck is called EX LeafGreen, and features grass and lightning Pokemon (with a holo Beedrill). To view the complete theme deck lists, you can visit our Theme Decks page by [clicking here], and then clicking EX FireRed and LeafGreen on the left. New Featured Article SuperWooper has returned from his leap of absence and has written an article on the top ten cards of EX Hidden Legends.
