Pokemon News: More Info. on Diamond and Pearl. January 21, 2007
Yes, been quite awhile, and there's a heck of a lot more information on Diamond and Pearl revealed quite recently. :3
Firstly, a really quick review on the names... Some were revealed quite a
long time ago. The current list of names that we know so far are:
Gonbe -
Munchlax
Usohachii - Bonsly
Rukario - Lucario
Manuyla -
Weavile
Mannene - Mime Jr.
Perap - Chatot
Tamanta - Mantyke
Manafi -
Manaphy
The most recent revealed names are for Diaruga and Parukia.
Diaruga's English name is Dialga and Parukia's English name is Palkia.
Recently, Nintendo has revealed the box art for Diamond and Pearl. They're
pretty much the same as the Japanese version, only with English letters instead,
as shown below:
The official Pokemon website has revealed some more information on D/P as
well. The villains in which you will in encounter in the land of Shinnoh are
known as Team Galactic! Can you stop them from creating such immense chaos in
the Shinnoh region?
The official website has also revealed a watch-type gadget called the Poketech. During the beginning of the game, there's really not too much of a use for it. However, as you play the game, you will discover more useful functions.
And on a quick note, Diamond and Pearl will be released in the USA on April
22nd.

Update: A Revised Splash! January 18, 2007
Well hello again! =D
Not a whole lot new from the last update but I'm sure you noticed I re-did the splash page. Isn't it awesome? Squee, I wasn't quite happy with how the last splash turned out; wasn't appealing enough in my opinion.
You might see some changes with the oekaki sooner than you probably think. Pinkie is going to be upgrading our oekaki to run more effectively over the weekend if everything goes well. Also, I've begun work on the new oekaki layout! No exact date planned but it should come sometime early next month. No promises on that one though. I've also got a style/theme idea for PH version 6.0, but that you don't get to find out till the layout completed in a few months. =P See ya for now! Some new content still to come this month!

Update: Picking up the Pace. January 16, 2007
Don't be alarmed, it's still me Pikap0w3r. Just a new avatar is all. xD *huggles Pikachu* ^^ Bunch of stuff today!
First and foremost the "About Us" page has been entirely redone and updated with brand new information about well.. me xD. I'll have Articuno Ice's new page too when she gets her info together. Next up, the episode lists got updated; and I do mean updated. The Battle Frontier section is now up to date with all the current episodes I've gotten the English and Japanese titles for. And..uhh..oh! If your using the Red n' Blue Plasma style, you probably noticed the new title box background image. It's all colorful and stuff now. ^^ Better than the plain boring gray it was.
I'm also pleased to announce officially this week that two major updates will be happening over the next few months:
- The oekaki will have a brand new Pokemon themed layout and the oekaki will be upgraded.
- The main site will indeed have just another new layout coming soon as well! I have no current ideas for a theme but you know Pinkie and I will come up with something awesome as always. *wink*
Ok, that's all for now. Be checking back as there will a bunch of new content to come! =D

Update: New Year, New Forums! January 4, 2007
Well the year is here and that means the holidays are finally over (thank god). What not a better way to kick off the new year with a brand new forum board!
It took us awhile but Pikachu's Hideaway Forums version 4.0 is now up. It features a grass style layout; somewhat like the PH 2.0 layout I had way back when. It's a brand new board too as I said. Please come join to expand our friendly community! The old forums will remain but registrations for that board are closed.
Well that's all for now. I expect to have some great new things for Pikachu's Hideaway this year!
