Saturday – April 2nd, 2005
Yesterday’s post was an April Fools joke. Since the bandwidth died again, I had to put it up late. Yesterday saw over 10 fake Pokemon released on the internet – all of which were totally realistic looking and convincing. People really went at it this year, probably since it is not too unlikely for a new Pokemon to be released now since the next generation is coming out in September of this year. We won’t see this many new fake Pokemon released on the internet until April of 2008, which is the year when the fifth generation of Pokemon will come out. ^_^; You can see the fake card that was stuck into the photo, which was created by Marcello-Milord, by [clicking here]. Also, thanks goes to Meowth346 from [Pokemon Forever] for going along with this whole thing! Anyways, on with the news!
New Golden Sky, Silvery Sea Video!
The [official Japanese TCG site] has put up a new video advertising the next set, Golden Sky Silvery Sea. In the video, we see some new cards from the set not released on the internet yet, such as Politoed ex and Umbreon ex. There are also some other cards shown, but it is hard to make out what they are. To see the video, you can click one of the options below that meets your connection speeds.
More Scans and Translations!Also thanks to the official Japanese TCG site, we have some new GS/SS scans, which you can see below to the right. Vincent has translated some more cards, which can also be seen below. Looks like this set is going to be pretty awesome!

Well, that’s it for today! Hope you didn’t take the April Fools joke too seriously and are mad. ^_^; NEVER, EVER trust ANYTHING posted on the internet on April Fools, ESPECIALLY a new Pokemon. A new Pokemon would never be released on this day, so never believe it. :)
Also, there is nothing I can do about the bandwidth issues until July. I cannot upgrade my plan to have more bandwidth, so we are kind of stuck like this for a few months. At least this is good news, since according to my website stats, we are increasing in unique visitors dramatically every month. But for now, I will have to cut down on images so that they don’t use up too much bandwidth.
