Pokémon G/S Remake!

It seems that Nintendo are trying there best to get old pokemon fans back up to date with there latest edition of a remake. Yes it’s the one that all fans have been waiting for a long time the beloved Gold & Silver!

Although I do not think that there has been an official announcement by Nintendo (There may have been) the box art looks very genuine! But this may not be true because the box art was released very quickly so please don’t see this as an official announcement as this may just be a fake but I bet my money that its probably true.

About the game: the remake will be on Nintendo DS and will feature the loved Nintendo Wi-Fi System. Well that’s all we know so far but like a have previously stated this may be just a fake so pleased lets not get hyped about this until Nintendo announce its true

I REALLY WANT THIS!

Darkrai Giveaway (JPN)

In other Pokemon news from Japan, a Darkrai giveaway has been announced.

Local Mystery Gift will be used to distribute legendary Pokémon.

The method for Japanese players of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl to obtain the legendary Pokémon Darkrai was revealed recently, according to a flier posted by Filb.de. Darkrai will be distributed to attendees of the 10th Pokémon movie, Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai, via local Mystery Gift at Japanese movie theaters July 14 through Sept. 9.

The item to unlock an island in the games where Darkrai can be caught, the Member's Pass, will apparently not be distributed. Instead, players will directly download the Pokémon with Mystery Gift. Darkrai will be inside a Cherish Ball (プレジャスボール Precious Ball), a normally unobtainable Poké Ball, and will be holding an Enigma berry, also normally unobtainable. Darkrai will have a Classic Ribbon (クラシックリボン) and will know the moves Roar of Time and Spacial Rend, moves normally exclusive to Dialga and Palkia, respectively.

Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon 2

According to our friend Zhenlin over at BMG, the June 2007 issue of CoroCoro reveals new details about the upcoming sequel to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (ポケモンの不思議のダンジョン).

Sequels subtitled Time Expedition and Darkness Expedition

There will be two versions, as before, subtitled Time Expedition (時の探検隊) and Darkness Expedition (闇の探検隊), which will be released this fall. As previously noted, this is the first time that Chunsoft is making a sequel to a Mystery Dungeon game involving licensed characters other than Torneko or Chocobo.

The premise of this game, as suggested by the subtitles, is that of exploration, as opposed to rescue in the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. The impetus appears to be a stone fragment which is thought to form the gateway to legendary locations and/or treasure. As before, the player is subjected to a personality test at the beginning of the game, which determines which Pokémon the player will be in the Pokémon world. Among the 16 available player characters are Munchlax, Pikachu, Piplup, Chimchar and Turtwig.

A new game mechanic is guilds. In order to form a great exploration party, the player must train, and to train, the player must enter a guild. The guild master is a Wigglytuff, and its right-hand man is a noisy Chatot. Other guild members include a Bidoof. On the other hand, as in all previous Mystery Dungeon games, the defining feature is the random dungeons players execute their quests in.

Pokémon Fever

Cartoon Network will air 17 consecutive hours (34 episodes) each day of Pokémon reruns spanning eight seasons June 2-3, 2007, according to Toon Zone's schedules.

Episodes will begin airing each day at 6 a.m. EDT and will continue to air until the Adult Swim programming block begins at 11 p.m. EDT each day.

Every non-Adult Swim hour to feature random episodes from eight seasons

While June 2's episodes are listed on the Toon Zone Web site, only one episode for June 3 is listed at this time, but the marathon will continue that day through season eight, according to sources.

The episodes selected have no apparent connection or order.

Update:

The June schedule for Cartoon Network has been posted. The first weekend of June will be a Pokemon Marathon on Cartoon Network.

"For every non-Adult Swim hour of the 2nd and the 3rd, Cartoon Network will be airing Pokemon episodes from Seasons 1-9. These include episodes from the fourth and sixth seasons which CN never got around to airing for some reason.

Below is a list of which episodes are airing when, courtesy of Toon Zone. As with everything else on Cartoon Network, this is all subject to change." Source: Dogasu (Forum Thread)

New Pokémon Marketing in Europe

Red Central, the creative resource for the entertainment industry, announces that it has been commissioned to produce the first European style guide for the kid’s super-brand Pokémon.

Pokemon launches European branding guide for a new era

The Pokémon franchise over 10 years has seen mammoth international success have been built on the content introduced in just three core computer games. After a four-year wait, the next instalments – Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl – are about to launch, bringing with them new characters, new movies and a new TV series.

Red Central’s brief is to achieve a look for the new Pokémon Diamond and Pearl style guide that retains the classic Pokémon style while introducing the new characters and content with a freshness that will shunt the brand to the cutting-edge of children’s entertainment. With a wide range of fans, the branding will be aimed at a core target of boys aged 6 – 12, but with some designs aimed at tween girls, as well as classic characters for people that have grown up with Pokémon and will want to re-visit it.

Licensing Manager at Pokémon UK, Rekha Rajput, explains: "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will thrust our brand right back to the forefront of children’s minds across Europe, and we strongly felt that a landmark of this magnitude deserved its own European-specific style guide.

"We asked Red Central to create it for us because they understood exactly what we wanted to achieve, and with their experience in the children’s entertainment industry we knew they could translate our goals into great designs."

Red Central Director Phil Overton said: "This is a dynamic property with both a mass and cult following and we’re very excited to be involved in its development," says Red Central Director Phil Overton. "The style guide is an important part of the launch, and we intend to capture Pokémon’s energy to make sure all licensed merchandise does the brand justice."

Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl video games will be available in Europe from Summer 2007. The accompanying animated TV series is due to air in the UK shortly afterwards on Cartoon Network.

A style guide is a publication which specifies details of writing style required by a particular publishing house or professional organization, including such matters as punctuation, capitalization, fonts and styles, imagery, and rules for citing references. Product producers and other licensee's use it to brand their items. It's used for packaging as well as advertising and so forth.
