Pokétalk for Sunday, January  9th, 2000:

You know, what with the new intro and all, it's getting harder and harder to write bits 
for this, January, 9th, 2000.

In our top story, after several weeks of old stuff, we got a new episode. We also 
learned why there's no such thing as commuter blimp today. By the way, I knew Ash 
was stupid, but I have no idea how Ash planned to walk to Valencia Island. Now there's 
one for dum misstakes. By the way, is it just me, or do these new episodes seem 
longer? Next week's marathon is "Ash's wish you were there week." Don't forget, next 
week Brock leaves the show, though I doubt I'll miss him.

In story two, Nintendo plans to release a new Pokémon CD next month. The CD will 
include the new theme song, "Pokémon World," which will be appearing on the show in a
 few weeks, as well as the theme from Pikachu's Winter Vacation, and at least one 
other song.

And now, Pokébriefs

1. Golden books has announced they plan to release Pokémon math books.

2. Don't believe everything you hear on the internet, as it turns out, rumors about the 
release of the Team Rocket collectible card game set were false.

3. Believe this, though. A rerelease of the original Pokémon card set is planned, with 
new borders.

And that's Pokébriefs

We'll be right back!

Announcer: Prepare for big saving at Pokéards! Stock up on potions, three for five 
dollars! Bring Pokémon back with revive, only six dollars each! And don't forget about 
our Pokéballs, only $1.50 each! (Singing) You'll save big money at Pokéards!

Okaay. Now, for this week's editorial, I'd like to discuss that bane of television...no, not
 monster shows, millionaire game shows. Last night, I watched Winning Lines, from the
 people who brought you Who Wants to be a Millionaire. In comparison, Winning Lines 
seems to go by fast. Too fast, in fact. Whereas Millionaire is a prolonged experience, 
Lines is a sugar rush.

In this week's strategy segment, I'm going to discuss Super Smash Bros. Although I 
don't generally recommend playing as Pikachu, here's a neat little challenge: See if you 
can use the thunder move to juggle a player in the air, even knock them out. If you've 
got a strategy, send it to yoshi1001@aol.com with the subject "Pokémon strategy."

That does it for this Pokétalk. Next week's Pokétalk will be on Saturday, until then, 
goodbye!
