It's
been a while since I last posted an update. Though I have changed
and added a few things without posting an update. I added the theme
songs to Pokemon Black and White,
Pokemon BW: Adventures in Unova
and Pokemon XY. I also updated the Pokemon
Advanced Battle theme song to a higher quality version from the old one that
was ripped from a VHS TV recording.
I also updated the registry fix for the Pokemon-branded browsers in the Downloads
page for 64-bit OSes as well.
About three years ago I bought the domain of my old web
host, Kanto Network, and used a free
web host to host an archived version of Kanto Network as well as other web sites
that the owner, Pokemon Trainer Nella, has hosted, including my own which I
simply placed a redirect to here. I can't believe it's been almost 9 years since
her site was shut down due to her hosting provider shutting down, and since she
seemed to have disappeared from the Internet without a trace. I've haven't
gotten a chance to update nearly as much as I used to back in the early days of
the site due to being busy with school and programming projects and other stuff,
but I still get around to updating something in the background every now and
then.
Anyways, Happy belated New Years 2016 to everyone.
It's so crazy how it's already 2016 somehow.
Ten
years ago, on February 22, 2004
to be more specific, I started Nick and
Kevin Pokemon Fan Site. Back then I
didn't really know much about HTML
and created web sites using web site building
software such as Trellix Web. Though, for this
web site I used Microsoft FrontPage 2000. It
originally started out as a simple project I did
for fun like other web sites I've made at the time,
but this site ended up turning into something I
maintained for the long term. While searching
around Google and MSN Search (aka Bing)
for links to other Pokemon fan sites I've found
sites that have been abandoned since
1999, but still are very interesting by letting
you peek into the past on how the world of
Pokemon was for fans back then. I also found
other active Pokemon fan sites, such as
Pichu's World and Pikachu's Hideaway, and
even joined their forums. This was the very first
experience for me and web forums so it was all
new to me. Over time I had made new friends,
learned new things and had fun along the way.
I can't believe it has already been 10 years!
An
official Pokemon app for iOS
devices has been released a few
days ago called Pokedex for iOS.
It's very similar to the Pokedex 3D
app for Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately, it's only
available on the Japanese iOS app store despite
the fact that it can be used in English, though
it can be obtained in other countries by creating
a Japanese iTunes account and purchasing a
Japanese iTunes gift card. I managed to get
the app and took several screenshots and
a video of it.
If you would like me to take any other screen
shots of the app or need help with getting the
app please feel free to email me.
Also since the commenting system I used was
randomly inserting porn advertisements on the
home page for some Android users I've disabled
them.
At
Cranky Yellow there is a giveaway
going on where a lucky winner could
win 20 Pokemon VHS tapes. All
you have to do it comment on the blog
post on the site and the tapes could be yours.
The contest ends January 8th so enter soon!
I
uploaded the Pokemon DP: Galactic
Battles Theme song and I updated
the Show Schedule page. This time
CN at least added a slightly more
reasonable time of 1:30 P.M., though it's during
school for most people. They also changed the
new airings to 6:00 A.M. which is a "bit" too early..
The times are in Central Standard Time so if you
live in eastern US then it will be an hour ahead of
those times.
Also because the file hosting site, Mybloop
closed (even though the whole sites goal was for
you to have an unlimited storage place to store files
forever..) all the show episodes are not available, I'll
try to upload them somewhere else as soon as I can.
A
new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
game for the Wii has been released in
Japan and should be released sometime
between late 2009 to Summer 2010.
The new game is a full 3D WiiWare game that uses
the 3D models from Pokemon Ranch. There are
three versions of the game:
Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad,
Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad
Go For It! Light Adventure Squad
Unlike the current PMD games you get to
pick the Pokemon you play as instead of taking
a personality test and in each version you are only
limited to pick certain starter Pokemon types in that
specific version. Blazing will have Fire type starters,
Stormy has Water starters and Light as Electric
starters. More information at Serbii.net
In other Mystery dungeon news, the third installment
of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of
Time and Darkness, called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:
Explorers of Sky will be released on October 12,
2009.
