Pokétalk for Thursday, August 12th, 1999:

Gotta hear it all! Hello! Welcome to Pokétalk for Thursday, August 12th, 1999!

In our first story today, Warner Bros. has recently released its Pokémon trailer to a 
variety of web sites, mostly portable gaming. So those of you who haven't seen it yet 
now can.

Also,  several details have come out about the upcoming Pokémon: Special Pikachu 
Edition. Actually, most of this informaton was availible previously. First of all, you 
sstart off with Pikachu, whether you like it or not. Also, the international masters of 
morons, Jesse and James will make several appearances. They've also mixed up items, 
evolution levels, and Pokémon locations. Speaing of evolution, the Pikachu given to you 
in the beginning wil not evolve. It will also featutre game boy printer options and 
Super Game Boy colors on Game Boy Color.

The only problem I can see with this game is that players may become bogged down by 
an obviously weak Pikachu, although Nintendo may opt to give Pikachu a power boost. 
Thanks goes to IGN pocket for this information.

Also, I'd like to take this moment to remind everyone that all the news stories on the
 news page are fake. Although Team Rocket will probably be in SSB 2.

And speaking of fake, we'll be right back after this message.

Ad:  Hair Club for Pokémon

Meowth: Hello fellow Pokémon! It's me, Meowth! Okay, so it's really Steven, but play 
along and pretend I'm Meowth. Anyway, are you embarrased bcause of your lack of hair?
 Is it causing you to lose confidance and not be taken seriously by other Pokémon? 
Well, your troubles are over now thanks to Hair Club for Pokémon. At Hair Club for 
Pokémon, we make it our buisness to see that you get either your hair or your money 
back! Let's listen to several satisfied customers.

Pikachu: Pika pika pika. Pika chu chu pika! Pi pi  pika!

Jiggglypuff: Jiggly jiggly jiggly jig!

Psyduck: Psy, psy, psy psyduck!

Meowth: Hair Club for Pokémon is only $19.95! And remember, I'm not just the Preisi-
hack-hack-hack- (gulp) I'm also a client.

Pokémon hair peices. Who'd have thought? Anyways, now I'd like to talk about the 
series of Pokémon trading cards. Now, I've never been a big fan of RPG card games, 
mainly because they're just too complex and I don't want to even try to figure out the 
rules. Besides, they're widley banned. From what I've heard, such problems still persist
 today. Granted, they can be fun to watch, but I just don't have the time to actually 
learn it. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are even more left-brained than I who 
do, though.

Finally, I'd like to discuss the viability of Pokémon sites. First of all, from what I've 
seen, the net is saturated with Pokémon web sites that are really not neccessary, and 
the averge person would be served quite well by a regular Game Boy site. When I 
created this site, I wanted to do somthing that a regular Game Boy site couldn't do: 
Provide specialized forms of Pokémon content. By that, I mean that the matierial on 
this site warrants its existance as a seperate site. I don't see any regular Game Boy 
sites doing internet radio shows. 

The other goal for this site is the be a creator, not a product of the Pokémon 
phenomenon. That is the goal of the Pokédom section. To make sure Pokémon lasts as 
long as possible, because then I'll have to make another site, won't I?

That's the end of this Pokétalk. Please note that I am visiting relatives on Saturday and
 the next Pokétalk may be on Monday. Thank you, and live long and prosper.0
