It was a bright morning, and the SS Anne was welcoming its new
passangers.  Matthew, the security guard, was in a good mood.  Days
like this made working on a ship truly worthwhile.  The sea, the sun,
the sand ...  And most of the passangers were already on board.  Just

Guess what? The new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game recently came
out in US!!! I'm already playing it. I am playing as a Mudkip
(nickname: reki.exe), and my partner is a Hikozaru  (nickname:
HIKOZARU). The nickname that I use is just a guy on YouTube that also

So, I've had mixed experiences with EV training spots.  The route to
the west of Pastoria is great for Attack EVs (plenty of Bibarel and
Kricketune all round, giving two each), but the route the internet
recommended for Defense EVs turned out to be rubbish (supposedly full

((Still waiting for Chet, so here's another flashback post.  They're
not really in the proper spirit of PW!, I know, so if there's no Keiko
post soon, I think I'll just write Karl's portion of the first round
myself.

((So, I've been trying to make at least one post each for my two
active WGs recently, but with Karl waiting for Chet to kick-start the
contest, I thought I'd write a flashback post.  Which is actually the
earliest Karl story ever, as it's set before his first post:

"Okay, Diego," said Lauren.  They were sitting in a wreck of a bar in
suburban Cerulean.  "Let's run through this again.  What't the plan?"
"Find a Pokémon that can cut down the fences to get into Mount Moon."
"And what are our resources?"

So, here's my one millionth return to PW!.  I'll try to keep it up
this time.  My aim is to write a post a day, so I'll be keeping them
short.
Google Groups hates tags!  They don't show up, so for now, I'm having

Mostly for Ted's benefit.
A Darkrai event has been confirmed for the UK!  Touring Woolworth's,
details are on www.pkmn.net.
I'll be attending the Newport event on the 23rd of August.  In rather

So, I was wondering whether anyone was still watching the TV show.  I
stopped watching during the Orange Islands series, picked up again
when they headed for Johto, and gave up again when it took them four
years to get to Olivine City.

Does any1 have a list, almost like a checklist, of all 493 pokemon? ive been
searching, but i cant find anything!!

"This Sandshrew's useless," moaned Lauren.  "I need something better."
"Leave poor Needles alone," said Diego.
"She's not called Needles," said Lauren.  "And she's useless.
Everything's beaten her in this place."

So, I love Pokémon Ranger.  Superb game, and rare for being a
genuinely good Pokémon game that isn't a main RPG (the other example
is Pokémon Puzzle League, fact fans!).
And they've announced a sequel!  Shadows of Almia (Batonnage in

I just got a Darkrai from the Rise of Darkrai event at Toys 'R' Us.  It
ended at four today, but you should get a chance to download the Darkrai
tomorrow (June 1) between twelve and four.  This probably isn't interesting
to anyone but me, but let me show you the data on my ...

“Are we lost?” asked Diego.  “It’s just ... that field looks
familiar.  Like it’s a tocsin that we’re lost.”
“Don’t say ‘tocsin’,” said Lauren.  “And I haven’t been to Cerulean in
years.  Didn’t expect it to get so big.”

I was leveling up my Nincada to learn Dig and after it did and I got
close to the next level (I forgot to take off the Everstone
before....) I decided that I wanted a certain Pokeball (Luxury?  Make
pokes happy quicker) for the Shedinja.  I spent time putting all my
