SITE NEWS

TCG Giveaways, Tournaments, 3D Updates, and Twitter [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 13 Oct 2011 at 5:55pm PDT
News has been pretty slow lately, which is fine by me because I've been incredibly busy. First up, the 3D Pokedex app has been updated for those of you who have a 3DS but haven't checked in a while. The update adds more functionality to the AR Viewer, but you have to manually run the update. Next up, our friends at ZeldaInformer are running another League Challenge. If you're in to competitive battling, make sure to sign up and get started! Then, the official Pokemon site has spun off a sweepstakes to win TCG Boxes and a grand prize including a 3DS. There are 25 winners each week, and you can register yourself once a day. The grand prize is drawn next month. In news that I'm sure has Frost absolutely thrilled, Junichi Masuda posted to his Twitter yesterday hinting at the intent to release updated version of the Gen III titles, Ruby and Sapphire. He says the games are important to him and he wants to do well. While not an official announcement, it's certainly something worth noting. Lastly, because myself and the rest of the staff have been so busy lately (and likely will continue to be), I've promoted two of our forum staff, Serpentsounds and Rhapsody, to the rank of Reporter and given them the ability to write up news posts for the main site here. They'll do a better job of posting news in a timely fashion than I can. Congrats to the both of them.

Psypoke Idol Final Scores, Psydex Updates [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 25 Sep 2011 at 6:45pm PDT
The 3rd year of Psypoke Idol has ended. First, it was Mew. Then it was Lugia. The third Pokemon to claim victory in Psypoke Idol is... Typhlosion with 3.7036 stars. The rest of the round broke down as follows: Charizard with 3.6902 stars, Dragonite with 3.6686 stars, Umbreon with 3.6371 stars, Tyranitar with 3.6249 stars, Mew with 3.5934 stars, Arcanine with 3.5845 stars, Blaziken with 3.5575 stars, Rayquaza with 3.5574 stars, and Espeon with 3.5546 stars finishing out the Top 10. The middle tier were Flygon with 3.5522 stars, Lugia with 3.5397 stars, Lucario with 3.5354 stars, Mewtwo with 3.5071 stars, Blastoise with 3.5024 stars, Swampert with 3.4630 stars, Lapras with 3.4551 stars, Metagross with 3.4426 stars, Latios with 3.4253 stars, and Scizor with 3.4105 stars. The Bottom 10 were Articuno with 3.3978 stars, Salamence with 3.3967 stars, Zekrom with 3.3903 stars, Gengar with 3.3800 stars, Sceptile with 3.3700 stars, Venusaur with 3.3669 stars, Feraligatr with 3.3581 stars, Zapdos with 3.2949 stars, Ho-oh with 3.2317 stars, and Kyogre with 3.2232 stars. In more significant news, Frost has rewritten several of the entries in the TechDex for accuracy and proper use of the English language. We've also fixed the issue of the Body Style data for Gen V never being imported into the Psydex, so all the Gen V Pokemon will be accurate in that regard now as well. So, now that Psypoke Idol is over, how do you feel about the result? Who did you want to win? Who do you think will win the competition next time?

Upcoming Movies, Games, and Events [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 18 Sep 2011 at 3:26pm PDT
Time to catch up on news. First off, the 14th Movie has been announced for English release. Depending on which version you want to see, there's Pokemon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram and Pokemon the Movie: White - Victini and Zekrom coming out this December. There will also be a limited theatrical release for the films. The two films are nearly identical, except for which legendary co-stars in a given version. For games, the European release date for Super Pokemon Rumble has been set for December 2nd. Yes, this is the same game as Pokemon Rumble Blast in the US and Super Pokemon Scramble in Japan - it seems Nintendo doesn't want to call the game the same thing in any two regions. Upcoming Events for Japan include an Anniversary Mewtwo to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Black and White's release in Japan. For the US, a Halloween event to obtain Banette has been announced. Note that you must be logged in to an account registered to a country where the event will take place in order to see the announcement. Little details are given, so the Events List will be updated once we know more. In addition, a Birthday Togekiss is available to players worldwide during their birthday month. Simply log in to the Pokemon Trainer's Club to collect yours! Thanks to our forum member Cherrygrove for confirming this for us.

Idol's Final Round + Wild Cards [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 17 Sep 2011 at 9:07pm PDT Updated on 17 Sep 2011 at 9:15pm PDT
In the final semifinals group of Idol 3, the top ten advancing Pokemon were Dragonite, 3.9502 stars; Arcanine, 3.8518 stars; Lugia, 3.7805 stars; Blaziken, 3.7698 stars; Mew, 3.7512 stars; Lucario, 3.7491 stars; Scizor, 3.7416 stars; Gengar, 3.6984 stars; Sceptile, 3.6368; and Lapras, 3.6346. As is typical in later rounds, all of the advancing Pokemon had a lower average than they had in earlier rounds. Just missing out in the finals (and as wild cards, since all ten of Group 1's Pokemon who were the closest to advancing had higher averages than the #11 Pokemon in Group 2) included Vaporeon, with 3.6116 stars; Gardevoir, with 3.6029 stars; Suicune, with 3.6017 stars; Jolteon, with 3.5831 stars; and Dragonair, with 3.5573 stars. The bottom five of the round were Togekiss, 3.1679; Totodile, 3.1288; Dratini, 3.1271; Heracross, 3.1208; and Haunter, 3.0885. Since this is the last round of Idol and there are no more eliminations, I've decided to let the top thirty vote-getters in the third round take part in the finals. This in particular is because Venusaur and Zekrom were in the top TWENTY of round three based on overall average, but didn't make it into the final round, which was originally planned to have twenty Pokemon, because Group 1 had much higher averages than Group 2 overall. So in addition to the twenty Pokemon who advanced from Round 3 automatically, added to the final rounds are the remaining Pokemon with the highest overall averages: Venusaur, Zekrom, Salamence, Latios, Articuno, Swampert, Feraligatr, Kyogre, Ho-oh and Zapdos. Vote for your favorite! The winner of this round takes the whole game!

Idol Round 3 Begins [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 6 Sep 2011 at 6:00pm PDT Updated on 8 Sep 2011 at 5:35pm PDT
EDIT: Now that I've got a bit more time (and for the first time in nearly two months, sort of a desk!), here's your missing Psypoke Idol results from the last two weeks. For Round 2 Group 4, we saw an average decline of 0.1243 stars in the Top 20 compared to their showings in the previous round. However, 6 of the 54 Pokemon did show improvement, including 1 of the Top 20. The Top 5 for the group were Dragonite at 4.1618, Arcanine at 4.0704, Mewtwo at 4.0693, Lapras at 3.9635 (up 0.0997 from Round 1), and Feraligatr at 3.9545. The rest of the Top 20 were Swampert, Espeon, Ho-oh, Torterra, Snorlax, Origin Giratina, Absol, Serperior, Dialga, Flareon, Charmeleon, Pikachu, Victini, Volcarona, and Bulbasaur, who made the cut with a 3.5434-star average. Just missing out were Aerodactyl at 3.487, Raichu at 3.4753, Steelix at 3.4516, Skarmory at 3.41 (up 0.1398 from Round 1), and Marowak at 3.3647 stars on average.

The Bottom 5 were Fire Genesect with 2.9411 (also up 0.0136), Axew with 2.9368, Glalie with 2.9154, Meloetta (Aria) with 2.8978, and Fall Sawsbuck with 2.7986 in last place. Of note, 46th place Snivy fell the furthest, with just 2.9944 stars, down 0.4130 from Round 1. Now, for the final part of Round 2; Group 5. Overall, the Top 20 of the Group fell 0.1889 stars compared to Round 1. Two of the Top 20 were among the three Pokemon to improve this time. The Top 5 were Tyranitar at 4.1204, Typhlosion at 4.0124, Lugia at 3.9278, Salamence at 3.9052, and Gardevoir at 3.8711. The rest of the Top 20 were Sceptile (whose 3.8583 was an improvement of 0.0078 on Round 1), Gengar, Zekrom, Zapdos, Milotic, Articuno, Ninetales, Cyndaquil, Crobat, Electivire, Infernape, Heracross, Rapidash, Machamp (whose 3.3263 was up 0.0828 compared to last time), and finally Riolu with a 3.3133 to make the cut. Just missing out were Rhyperior at 3.3049, Staraptor at 3.2613, Tropius at 3.1972 (despite an improvement of 0.1009 compared to Round 1), Eelektross at 3.1913, and Froslass at 3.1861. The Bottom 5 this time were Dragon Arceus at 2.726, Spiritomb at 2.7009, Monferno at 2.6888, Water Genesect at 2.5985, and Steel Arceus at 2.5313 in last place. With Round 2 over, Round 3 of Psypoke Idol is underway. Make sure to vote your favorites through the semifinals and into the final round! For a quick news summary, there's been an announcement that a new Pokemon Center will be opening in the Sendai region, which is where the record-breaking earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck earlier this year. Lastly, an official announcement has been made for a Zoroark Event in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Pokemon will be available at Toys "R" Us stores starting the 18th, through the 25th in North America, and October 16th in Australia/New Zealand, as part of a month-long celebration of Zoroark itself.

Idol R2G3 Results [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 23 Aug 2011 at 6:36pm PDT
Here's the results from last week's round of Psypoke Idol. In a strange twist, one of the Top 20 moving on has actually improved in score compared to Round 1. Overall, the Top 20 was still down 0.2073 points on average, but your winner for Group 3, Lucario, was up to 4.0675 stars (from 4.0485). The rest of the Top 5 were Mew with 4.0624 stars, Flygon with 3.9116 stars, Vaporeon with 3.7778 stars, and Hydreigon with 3.7457 stars. The Top 20 was rounded out with Kingdra, Groudon, Raikou, Empoleon, Dragonair, Ampharos, Gyarados, Scyther, Entei, Kabutops, Samurott, Quilava, Totodile, Meganium, and Haunter, who made it in with 3.3475 stars. Just missing out this week were Wartortle at 3.3135 stars, Zorua at 3.2925 stars, Grovyle at 3.2903 stars, Sky Shaymin at 3.2744 stars, and Registeel at 3.2505 stars. The only other Pokemon to improve this round was Mightyena, whose 3.0698 stars (up from 3.0432 stars in Round 1) was enough to earn 33rd place. The Bottom 5 this week were Vileplume at 2.7608 stars, Electric Arceus at 2.7071 stars, Houndour at 2.7003 stars, Prinplup at 2.5714 stars, and lastly Pinsir at 2.5323 stars. It's also worth noting that Pinsir fell the most this week compared to Round 1, losing more than half a star on average. Make sure to keep voting every week for Idol and push your favorites into the next round! Since other news has been slow lately, it's worth mentioning that if you've been thinking about buying a 3DS, Nintendo's made it a little easier on your bank. The price of the handheld dropped to $170 USD about 10 days ago. Is the new price enough of a deal to make you reconsider a purchase? Do any early adopters wish they had held out for an $80 price drop? Let us know in the Talkbacks.

Idol Round 2 Continues, TCG Updates [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 18 Aug 2011 at 9:22pm PDT Updated on 19 Aug 2011 at 3:46pm PDT
First off, Idol Round 2 is still underway. Last week's results still show a downward trend in scores, with an average of 0.2238 fewer stars across the Top 20. Our Top 5 last week were Charizard at 4.2339 stars, Blastoise at 4.0111 stars, Blaziken at 3.9158 stars, Metagross at 3.9075 stars, and Scizor at 3.8638 stars. The rest of the Top 20 were filled out by Latios, Venusaur, Aggron, Garchomp, Alakazam, Latias, Luxray, Zoroark, Squirtle, Nidoking, Moltres, Leafeon, Darkrai, Celebi, and Krookodile at 3.4028. Just missing out were Weavile at 3.3788 stars, Chandelure at 3.3592 stars, Kyurem at 3.3584 stars, Wailord at 3.352 stars, and Starmie at 3.2514 stars. Meanwhile, the Bottom 5 were Muk at 2.8665 stars, Thundurus at 2.8413 stars, Floatzel at 2.8391 stars, Dodrio at 2.7267 stars, and Sawsbuck (Summer) at 2.6345 stars. Only two Pokemon improved compared to their Round 1 scores, earning a 30th place finish for Torchic at 3.1418 stars, up from 3.1210 stars, and 34th place for Togepi at 3.0862 stars, up from 3.0370 stars. Frost has updated the Deck Dex to fix some numbering errors that affected many cards, and also to include the forthcoming Emerging Powers set. Also on the TCG front, with Emerging Powers coming out on the 31st, TPCi has released information about the third BW set, named Noble Victories. It will contain at least 90 cards, including Victini as well as other Unova Legendary and Fossil Pokemon. Likely, it will come out in November and will contain most (if not all) of last month's Japanese Red Collection set, as well as over a dozen cards from the Victini Formation Decks and likely some Japanese promos. Except for Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect, it should contain the rest of the Unova Pokemon who have not yet debuted in the English TCG.

Busy Days [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 8 Aug 2011 at 7:56pm PDT Updated on 9 Aug 2011 at 7:43pm PDT
Frost is right: I've been incredibly busy at work. Thankfully, news has been rather slow. The Japanese release of Super Pokemon Scramble was pushed back to the end of this week, and I'll let Frost talk about some TCG things if he cares to, but not much else has really been going on. EDIT: Frost has posted the ninth part of the BW walkthrough. As far as Idol goes, we'll forgo the detailed breakdown of Round 1 Group 9 and get right into how Round 2 started off last week. Nearly every Pokemon scored lower this round than last, meaning people are more picky about who they're giving high marks to (or more lenient in giving out low ones). Overall, the Top 20 were 0.2878 stars lower on average than they scored last round. The Top 5 were Umbreon with 3.8825 stars, Charmander with 3.7841 stars, Jolteon with 3.7787 stars, Pidgeot with 3.7561 stars, and Rayquaza with 3.7058 stars. Rounding out the Top 20 advancing to Round 3 are Suicune, Eevee, Dratini, Glaceon, Togekiss, Gallade, Ivysaur, Kyogre, Braviary, Reshiram, Houndoom, Jirachi, Growlithe, Giratina (Altered), and Haxorus at 3.2502 stars. Just missing out on the next round were Gliscor with 3.2436 stars, Notched-Ear Pichu with 3.2312 stars, Golem with 3.2095 stars, Togetic with 3.1821 stars, and Croconaw with 3.1511 stars. The Bottom 5 were Arceus (Ghost) with 2.7237 stars, Darmanitan with 2.7132 stars, Hitmontop with 2.6908 stars, Meloetta (Pirouette) with 2.6002 stars, and Arceus (Ground) with 2.4662 stars. The only Pokemon to score better in Round 2 than they did in Round 1 were Togetic with 3.1821 stars, up from 3.1047 stars last round, earning 24th place; Psyduck with 3.1144 stars, up from 2.8465 stars last round, earning 29th place; and Combusken with 3.0282 stars, up from 3.0227 stars, earning 37th place. Keep voting for all your favorites. The competition's heating up now as Round 2 moves on and we near the semifinals.

Psypoke Idol R1G8 Results [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 30 Jul 2011 at 2:49am PDT
I guess Jiggz has been pretty busy at work because I just noticed that the results for last week's group were never posted. The current round ends tonight at midnight but, regardless, here's the results for Round 8: This week's top five included Lugia with 4.2723, Zoroark with 4.0525, Hydreigon with 3.9836, Articuno with 3.9067 and Absol with 3.9028. The rest of the advancing Pokemon include Charmander, Flareon, Ivysaur, Wailord, Aerodactyl, Deoxys, Regice, Terrakion, Rampardos, Poliwrath, Dewott, Porygon-Z, Manectric, Normal Arceus, Dark Arceus, Tauros, Pichu, Dragon Arceus, Spiritomb, Vibrava, Armaldo, Ice Arceus, Lanturn, Pinsir and Pupitar. Keep in mind that the top thirty is revealed on the results page whenever a new round is posted, regardless of when Jiggz or I actually get around to making the site update about Idol. The Pokemon who narrowly missed out advancing this round were Psychic Arceus at 3.0134, Forretress at 2.904, Flaaffy at 2.9008, Quagsire at 2.8761 and Ariados at 2.8730. Meanwhile, none of the bottom five could even crack a 2.0 average: Bibarel, 1.9258; Gothita, 1.9219; Bronzor, 1.9073; Trash Burmy, 1.7964; and Plant Burmy, 1.7518. While there's only one day left of Group 9 (and therefore Round 1), there's still time to get your vote in for this round if you haven't!
