Mystery Dungeon Manga
October 27th, 2006

I've got another chapter synopsis and a few character bios up for the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Ginji's Rescue Team manga up since the third chapter's out in stores now. I've also added a new Japanese title to the Episode List.

Don't forget that tomorrow, Cartoon Network will be airing "The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon" AND "Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!!" tomoorrow in addition to the two new Battle Frontier episodes. Busy busy busy.

A Chip Off the Old Brock
October 23rd, 2006

Here's the comparison for "A Chip Off the Old Brock." Whoo.

Also, maybe you've noticed the Pokemon Top 100 button at the top of the page. I usually don't care about things like website hits or things like that because I feel like too many webmasters get too distracted by stats, but I decided to put this up there just to see how many people would actually vote for my site on that thing. I'll probably bury the button at the bottom of my page later on, but for now I'm curious to see where people rank a site like mine.

TV Schedule
October 22nd, 2006

It's good to be back home after being out of town all weekend.

I've updated the TV Schedule with the latest information I could scrounge up. A big thanks goes out to Duke for providing a lot of the information for this update. Here's the highlights:

Pokemon has almost vanished from the Boomerang schedule, going from 30+ airings a week to four airings a week in October. It's completely off the schedule by November.
"Pokemon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!!" and "The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon" premiere on October 28th at 5:00pm and 6:00pm, respectively.
October 28th also marks the last day for Pokemon Chronicles on Toonami. After that, the show will be replaced with Battle Frontier reruns. The final episode of Pokemon Chronicles, Pikachu's Winter Vacation, is mysteriously absent from the schedule. It's likely being saved for December.
"Destiny Deoxys" airs twice in November; once on November 2nd and again on November 14th. "Jirachi Wish Maker" airs on November 8th.
The schedule pages on Zap2It lists the November 4th episodes as premiering at 10:00am and 10:30am instead of 9:00am and 9:30am, but the Cartoon Network website's schedule lists them as premiering during their usual times. For the time being, I'm keeping them listed as airing during the regular timeslot.
Starting November 6th, Pokemon Chronicles replaces the second Advanced Battle episode on Miguzi.
On November 10th, Cartoon Network will be having a Battle Frontier marathon which ends with the premiere of two new episodes.

I hope to have the "A Chip Off the Old Brock" comparison up tomorrow. Also, more Mystery Dungeon manga stuff, since Chapter Three is now available for sale via Nintendo Power.

More dub titles
October 20th, 2006

I haven't been able to update lately because I haven't been in front of my computer long enough to get one done. Damn social life...

Anyway, the Episode Guide has been updated with a ton of new dub titles. I wish CN would just calm down with the premieres already.

"Sweet Baby James"
October 18th, 2006

So I went to my mom's house this past weekend and was able to use her swanky new computer to do the work on three episode comparisons. The first one of these is "Sweet Baby James." "A Chip Off the Old Brock" and "Wheel of Frontier" should be up on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. I also plan to have some more Mystery Dungeon manga stuff up within the next day or so.

I've also updated the Episode Lists for Battle Frontier and D/P.

TV Specials
October 13th, 2006

Hey! I really do want to apologize for my lack of updates lately. I've had all sorts of things going on lately that have prevented me from spending any time working on an update for this site in addition to other time-consuming projects (i.e. the PSOne remake of Dragon Quest IV). My computer's still being uncooperative, so I still can't do any comparisons yet.

So today's updates? Aside from the standard Episode List and TV Schedule updates, I've got information about the Japanese version of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon as well as a page up for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate. The latter is pretty basic right now, but I do plan to add character bios and a staff list before too long.

I'll be going to my mom's house this weekend, so I may be able to get a comparison or two done on her brand new computer. I should be able to update on Monday or Tuesday and let you guys know.

Miscellaneous
October 5th, 2006

My computer's still not up to 100% yet...I'll be out of town for a wedding this weekend, so I may just drop my laptop off at the local Best Buy and have some more RAM installed to see if that helps any. Fingers crossed.

In the meantime, check out the new TV Schedule and the new titles in the Episode List. I know it's a boring update, but that's the best I'm able to do with my crazy work schedule this week.
