Here are my favorite links, in alphabetical order.

To view Japanese sites: I suggest using the plug-in that's on Yahoo's site.  All you have to do is download the Japanese plug-in of your choice, and then it should be installed onto your Internet Browser.  Then, when you visit a Japanese page, it will do one of two things.  One, it'll be in Japanese and you're OK to go.  Two, it'll be a bunch of jibberish.  If the latter happens, that means it didn't activate for some reason (it won't be automatic for some pages).  That's OK, simply right-click somewhere on the page (that isn't an image) and click on "encoding."  Then select the Japanese option (whatever it's called).

Need anime lyrics?  Sure you do.  So head on over to The Anything-Goes Anime Lyrics Archive.  It has lyrics from Pocket Monsters, as well as from other anime.  Check it out!

Bulbagarden has recently launched Bulbapedia, a sort of Wikipedia for Pocket Monsters.  The site has a lot of good information, and you'll be sure to learn something useful.

Mewtopia is a great site on its own, but probably my favorite part is this translation (rough as it may be) of the first pokemon movie, Myuutsuu no Gyakushuu.  Now you can see for yourself the HUGE differences in maturity and depth between the Japanese movie and the US version.

A translation of the Birth of Mewtwo CD Drama Translationcan be found here, so be sure to check it out!  If anyone knows where one could find the Team Rocket CD Drama Translation, please e-mail me and let me know.

PokeAni is the Japanese site that everyone goes to in order to get the latest news from Japan.  If you know Japanese, you can find the latest episode titles, movie information, and other up-to-the-minute information that you won't find on many English sites.

Meowth346's site, Pokemon Forever, has a ton of information about the Japanese version of the franchise, particularly the video games.  The site is really well-done and professional-looking, and I urge everyone who hasn't gone there to pay the site a visit.

SPP (aka Serebii.net) is an evil, evil site.  Not only do they update almost everyday, but they also have all kinds of goodies like episode summaries for episodes being shown in Japan, info on the new pokemon, scans from CoroCoro magazines about the new Pokemon games, and all this other stuff that makes me jealous.

TV-Tokyo is only the official Japanese site.  Though this site isn't updated as much, it still has a neat archive of information.

If you want Pokemon background music, go to With the Wind:  Music and Songs.  It has the music played during the Rocket-Dan motto, and much more.  It still doesn't have all the BGM found on the OST, but it's a good place to get a nice selection of background music.

General Anime Pages

The Anime Digital:  The Pirate Anime FAQ is a guide to spotting bootleg anime merchandise.  It goes into detail of each type of product (CD, book, toy, clothing, etc) and tells you how to spot a fake and how to tell if it's the real thing.  This is a very useful guide, as bootleg Pocket Monsters stuff is abundant, so be sure to have looked this over before your next trip to the comic store or big anime convention.

Forget about searching for fan sites of your favorite anime on a regular search engine...look on Anipike!  Anipike has links to just about every major anime site on the Internet.  Just about every anime, no matter how obscure, can be found here.  In fact, many people don't consider your site big if you're not listed on Anipike.  So whether you want to find popular anime like Pokemon or Dragon Ball Z, or whether you're looking for the obscure Oniisame E, Minky Momo, Ebichu, etc, you're sure to find it on Anipike!

DBZ Uncensored is the most popular episode comparison site!  It's closed down now, but if you thumb through the pages Chris left up, you'll see some well-written comparisons and will see why so many people have copied him.  For more episode comparison-type sites, check out my Comparison Links page.

For information about all the seiyuu mentioned on the Humans page, go to Hitoshi Doi's Seiyuu Database.  You'll find the most complete listing of seiyuu on the web, and maybe even a picture of your favorite seiyuu (I know he at least has the picture of Musashi's Japanese VA up).  If American voice actors are your thing, go to Voice Chasers, the Hitoshi Doi of American VA's.  This site also has information on other anime as well, so check it out.  It's very interesting!

CD Japan is where you can buy any Japanese pokemon good you'd like.  Games, music, books, anything you could want can be found here.  They have a good variety of stuff, so go check it out.

Systran Internet Translation Technologies is a site that enables you to type in the URL of a site, and have it translated from English to French, Spanish to English, etc.  It's great for viewing foreign language sites--plus, it's really neat to see some of your favorite sites translated into French!  You can also type some text into a box and have it translated into a foreign language and vise-versa.  Unfortunately, the site has no Japanese option.  Be warned--since it's an online translator, the translations will be sketchy at best. 

Japanese Culture Pages

If you've ever been to Japan or have seen any pictures of it, you know that the Japanese love to use Engrish.  Not English, but Engrish. Engrish.com explores the Japanese fascination with English with real-life pictures of some of the most humorous examples of Engrish.  Wanna see a picture of a knife kit that reads "CAUTION!  Blade extremely sharp!  Keep out of children" or a shirt that says "Spread Beaver?"  It's all right there!  A very funny site that's worth a visit.
