TCG / Gameboy / TV News and Site Updates

Anyways, my laptop had to be sent in to Gateway on Monday after the screen was cracked by a flying ice cube, so I have been using my mom’s computer for everything else until I got it back today. While it was being fixed, I couldn’t login to Brinkster on her computer because her computer doesn’t support some specification that you must have in order to view the HTML editor on Brinkster, so in other words, I couldn’t update anything. So for all of you newcomers here, I don’t miss updates for a whole week, so keep that in mind because I usually add news every other day. (attempt at making you stay here) On with the news!: »More Info on EX Dragon: As I reported earlier, the next EX set will be called EX Dragon, and the name has now been confirmed as the official name. Another thing we now know is that the set will be released sometime in December, so you can expect to have pre-release tournies sometime in November.
»EX Sandstorm Tournaments this Weekend: The following are the locations for the EX Sandstorm tourneys this weekend: Saturday, September 13th Sunday, September 14th For the EX Sandstorm Tournament locator, which has all the information on how to contact the people running the tournaments as well as the specific addresses, [click here]. »EX Sandstorm Pre-Release in San Diego Picture Gallery: I have finally uploaded the pictures to the EX Sandstorm tournament that took place last week in San Diego. To view the pictures, [click here.]
»Future Organized Play Events: When mysterioustrainer got the EX Sandstorm theme decks, they came with a ruling booklet that included future Pokémon Organized Play Events. So, here’s was the booklet said:
»The Battle-e Cards are Coming: As everyone should know by know, battle e-cards are scanned through your e-reader to unlock things in your Ruby or Sapphire GBA games. We now know that the first set of Battle E cards will be in 3 sets, each having 18 cards in them. (16 trainers and 2 berries) The names of the sets are Freezing Ray, Hidden Ruins, and Iron Defense, and will be released on October 20th, as I have said before, for the price of $5.99. As soon as they come out, I will try to get the scans of the cards.
A Japanese magazine had news from a person who worked at Nintendo that the games would be a re-make of Red and Green, except with improved graphics and that you WILL be able to trade and battle with Ruby and Sapphire, as well as be able to use it with Colloseum. The games are also named Fire Red and Leaf Green, so if green is released as blue version again, it will probably be called Water Blue. So, this means that this will be how you will get all of the Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire, though you may also be able to do it with Colosseum, as I have reported in the past. So, we know no that Pokémon Red and Green are going to be re-made for GBA, but will we be able to trade our Blastoise that we love so much from our old Red Version to our new Red Version? Who knows, but when more information is released, PokeBeach will have the info, so remember to check back here. Oh yeah, both games are rumored to be released sometime in February next year, and when the next edition of the Japanese magazine is released on October 3rd, my b-day, we will know more on the game. My Japanese sources sent me in a screenshot of the game, so you can view it at the right if you already haven’t.
»Site Updates: As I stated above, the theme deck page has been updated with the EX Sandstorm theme decks. Also, if you look at the bottom of this post, I have added an extra rectangle for an interesting fact. If you want to become smarter and know more about the big blue planet you live on, then read them, because they are little facts I hear every day from my teachers at High School. I also moved the News/Event Reminders to it’s own rectangle. |

»EX 1 (ADV 4) Info: PA! has reported new information on the next ADV Set, EX 1. Here is what Nick15 has to say:
»EX Sandstorm Theme Decks: Thanks to mysterioustrainer from PokéGym, we now know what will be in the EX Sandstorm theme decks! To see what will be in them, [
»Red and Blue Remakes for GBA: About a month ago, Nintendo made an announcement that they were going to release a new game for GBA, yet no one knew what the game would be, until now.
»NEW TV Episodes ALL Next Week on Kids’ WB and Saturday Time Change: All of next week on Kids’ WB, new episodes of Johto will be airing every day at the regular time of 4 PM! I was expecting this to happen due to that Hoenn episodes will be airing in two weeks, and we still have a handful of episodes to go through. So, Kids’ WB is obviously trying to air them as fast as possible so that they can get the Hoenn episodes showing at the right time. And remember, the TV schedule has changed, so Pokemon will keep the same time on weekdays, but for Saturdays, the time will be changed from 9 AM to 10 PM (effective Sep. 15th).
