Got the editorial done Posted October 11, 2000 by Ivyduck
Wrote the editorial on my trip to the Digimon Movie. I don't feel really depressed anymore either! Well, we are currently at 1200 hits and rising fast! We have gotten a ton of hits today, over 20, maybe 30. And that's all!

Some new pages Posted October 11, 2000 by Matt
I put up a Rocket checklist today, as well as updated the staff page. Nick also put up some other pages; Jobs, affiliate. By the way, has Gym Challenge been released yet? I think they said Oct. 11... Anyway, I believe it to be just as good as Gym Heroes so go pick up a pack. let's hop WoTC didn't make some crappy would-be common cards rare!

Armed Guards... LOL Posted October 11, 2000 by Ivyduck
Well, whenever I read at BulbaGarden that he would be escorted by armed guards I didn't believe it, but it's true! A guy in a Pikachu suit will be escorted to Fort Knox to deliver the first Gold and Silvers! LOL. Anyway, I really don't feel like reporting any of the other useless crap that's going on in the Pokémon world right now... I feel pretty depressed. To me, Gold and Silver is something that's idea and bits came from great game creators, then was made and produced by a little kid who was desperately trying to think up of names and forms for 100 new Pokémon. In other words, Gold and Silver sucks. It may be the best selling game in history, but that doesn't mean it's good. I'll have to borrow my friend's copy and see how good it is. See ya.

Sweet! Posted October 10, 2000 by Ivyduck
Alright! I didn't think it would happen, but the Pocket Squad has affiliated with us! We are definitly a better site now. And if you're reading this Kan, we do get a lot more than 3-5 hits per day. I start adding that to some of the pages. I'll also be making a page for affiliating rules (finally.) And that's all for today!

Desperate times... Posted October 9, 2000 by Matt
Okay, we definitly need a new layout. Since Ivyduck informed me of the news about the layout, I start to make a new layout. I tried tons of things, but they all liked like crap. So... We really need someone to make a layout!!!!! C'mon, we know that we visitors here everyday, surely some of you have a good website! So email Ivyduck if you want to make us a layout. We will advertise your site forever if you do! Anyway, I have re-done the link to us page, doesn't it look so much better? See ya

Rats! and yes! Posted October 9, 2000 by Ivyduck
Well. we are going down some in the topsites, like I predicted. But Alucard has made a few pics for our site! He made the one you see at the top, and the animation. There is also a button but I won't put that up till Matt re-does our Link To Us page. And a smooth transaction with Pikawave, as he put our new name up really fast! And as it turns out, Mewmaster is too busy to make us a layout right now. Oh well, I suppose I can attempt to make one again. I will also begin writing an editorial about my trip to the Digimon movie, but it will be kind of short.

Woah Posted October 8, 2000 by Ivyduck
Since 1:05 last night, we have gotten twenty hits! That's like a breakthrough! We have passed up Bulabsaur in the Bulbasaur topsites, something that I thought was impossible. Well, since we have proven ourselves much better than out rival site, Pokemania 6000, we are getting a new rival! Pikachu's Place has flown up in some of the topsites we have joined and let me tell you, it's not a very good site. It has the stupid claim of "The best Pokémon site", similar to what this site used to have in it's early days. I'm not quite sure if I should rival this site, but it is questionable. Joing the topsites seems to be a big advantage, too bad I didn't do that before. I am trying to get affiliated with the Pocket Squad and as soon as I get done with that and get the new layout... I'll try to get hosted!!! Probably with either Pikamon, or the Pokémon Factory. I may try others though. Well, that's all for today!

Our claim to fame Posted October 7, 2000 by Ivyduck
We could possibly be the site that updates the most! For some odd reason we seem to be flying up in the topsites. In my psychic predictions, we shall start going down whenever the week starts. Man have I been working hard. I would like to thank our staff right now, for surprising me with the organization of the picture galleries! I must go now, see ya tomorrow!

Topsites Posted October 7, 2000 by Ivyduck
I joined five topsite lists! We seem to have established ourselves good places on them, so that's good. I deleted Pokémon of the week because the pictures take up way too much room on the sidebar. By the way, it appears that Pokémon Mania has some nightly visitors. And how do I know that? Well, we were moving up postitions in our topsites and the counter wasn't going up. I'm probably going to change the name of this site. Several other sites have the name Pokémon Mania (or in their name) and I hate getting accused of being unoriginal. Although I've been contemplating the concept of Pokémon Mania for about 3 years. The new name will probably be... Twilight's Dawn. I love names that sound cool like that, that's why. Twilight's Dawn, the coldest place on earth, and it is Bloody Midnight. That'll probably be our motto. But I don't know what I'm going to do with the banner SL made, he'll hate me for trashing it.

Here's some stuff Posted October 7, 2000 by Matt
To make up for the lost news I posted, we not have a new affiliate, Pikawave! The button can be found on the sidebar and at the end of the updates. And I changed the quote and Pokémon of the week. See ya!

Ah man! Posted October 7, 2000 by Ivyduck
Dangit! We were hacked! Apparently Matt was adding some news, uploaded it, and the bang! Everything on the main page is gone! So I got everything back on, the only thing we lost was a bunch of news, darn it! Well, it was some stuff about how we are going to get SSI sometime, and how our affiliate Pika's Pokecenter is making us a new layout with a theme I like to call "Bloody Midnight". That's all! See ya!
