Adrock: I like Bubbles the best. 
Philip: Something about those pigtails.. isn't it.. 
Ice Blue: yeah!  Bubbles is the best!  She rules... she's sweet, strong, cute, blue, etc. ummmm... I should stop now... 
Foy: Foy! (She's got the joy and the laughter!) 
Bubbles: I'm HARD-CORE! 
Jazz: What an incredibly difficult contest... click on the big pulsating colors. 


It's a new day 
And there is no news...
I am Poppy Seed! Love me!
Ice Blue: woo HOO! Welcome back old friend. 
Jazz: Stare at her... she's mesmerizing.
Sock Monkey sits there silently thinking Sock Monkey thoughts.

Oh Starry Night.
Gratuitous hint. Oh, Driver is coming to GBC. Yippee. And for the heck of it.. here are some links you may wann alook at.
"Wow.. this looks to be the next Tarzan."
"This way.. I can not SEE how badly the Chiefs are doing."

Ice Blue: Drivers wanted.
Jazz: Like a rock.... oh nevermind.

Quote of the Update: "I heard that tommorrow.. all C64's everywhere will flip out; causing the Stock Market to crash and people will loot in the streets!"

Because.. he's special.
Hey, the Nintendo Camp Hyrule Awards were announced and our very own Ice Blue was nominated for almost a dozen awards! Like "Most obnoxious, Most time chatting in the Lounge, most time chatting in the Sunken Ship, Best Fisherman, Best Cabin Raider, Best Food Fighter, etc." Wow. You know I'm proud of him. Maybe I should have spent more time in Camp... but I did spend 4 straight hours in that "Whack-a-Kremling game", my modem cut off twice; but I kept going.. the game glitched when it hit 8 digits and my comp froze and I had to restart. :( -PAW-
"Ice Blue kicks some camping butt"

Ice Blue: I don't get it!  How is it possible that I was nominated for so many even though I didn't do much of them...
Philip: There should have been an award for the least participating person.. I would have sadly accepted it. But.. hey! I discovered that the Whack-A-Kremling game is enough to drive you insane around the third hour. And after words, I went to Game and Watch Gallery and got a five stars I didn't have before.
Adrock: He can't make excuses anymore! I've got HARD proof that he's obnoxious! Huh? Oh... I'm uh... yeah I'm talking about GreenLink3. Yeah.
Invisible Foy: Foy! (Right....)
Infinity_Yak: Left...



Stick it.
Duke Nuke 'Em shipped today. Yippee. Check for it in stores by Saturday. It's rated "T". -PAW-

Ice Blue: Come get some, Slick.
Philip: Come on.. buy what he's selling.
Infinity_Yak:  I won't buy that game unless it has sayings like "Gimme some sugar baby"  or "Hail to the king, baby"


Importationality 
Done by A Deviant Weirdo.

- The European versions of Pokémon Red and Blue will display Super Game Boy Colors in the Game Boy Color.. just like the US Pokémon Yellow will. The European Versions will be fully compatible with the US games as well. Although... if you import the game.. be forewarned that they are in English.. not American.. so they may be hard to understand.

- In Japan, the Mail-Order Only Pokémon Blue will be commercially released on October 10th.

- Epoch's Silveria Family -already covered before- is in a way.. a "Gardening RPG". Umm.. yeah.

- Old News I forgot to cover = The Kansas City Star covered Pokémon in their Business Section -yes I read that- and some "Top Finacial Pundits" say that the Pokémon Franchise should "wane" over by the first quarter of 2000. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha  ha Pass me some of what ever they have been drinking.

Ice Blue: Calm down...
Philip: I...... am..... ca.c.ca.c.c..c.calm.
Adrock: Whatever they are on, tell me where they got it and how much.
Philip: They probably got it from somewhere in Odessa.
Infinity_Yak: I know a guy- he'll hook you up with some good stuff. (j/k)

Quote of the Update: "We're all gonna die!"

Sad news?
Hello, I am "Sephiroth" -Philip's Mewtwo- and I have bad news.. this site has been run by a group of pokémon, viruses and myself lately. It seems that the staff has been missing for a while.. since last Sunday. Philip, Adrock, and Ice Blue were out searching for a "Knob Mew".. Jazzman was off to pursue "Charizard2000" -his only love-, and Yak.. umm.. we don't know. The news, and updates have been done by myself. We even did the comments. We have posted items that they had but could not post.. because they weren't here. I have sent someone to look for Philip, Adrock, and Ice Blue. Jazzman.. well, once he realizes that he can never be good enough for Charizard.. he may return. As for Yak? We don't know.. hewas last seen mumbling something about dogs, and "golden underpants". -Sephy-



Pikachu Shocks the World.
Or rather Game Boy and Nintendo sales. Sales of Game Boy hardware shot up 249% from last year, and software sales jumped up 192% as well. That's good. And there is more boring details to bore you with; but instead of those.. you can read the whole press release by clicking the link below. -PAW-
"Press it harder!"


Hasbro is Wizard.
Wizards of the Coast -makers of the Pokémon Collectable Card Game- has been bought for $325 Million Dollars. What does this mean? Hasbro makes toys, and also *gasp* video games. They own Milton Bradley, Tiger, Galoob, and now Wizards of the Coast. So.. this means that by late 2000.. we could see a port of Magic: The Gathering for the Game Boy Advanced with network capabilities, or *gasp* a much needed Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game. Should be interesting. Personally, I think that a networked M:TG for the GBA would not be DOA; but instead IMHO would cause a resurgance for the game that has been MIA for a while. Nice idea.. really. WYSIWYG. -PAW-


9.9.99
No... it's not the mark of the devil.. okay.. upside down it could be.. BEWARE! Anyways, I want to remind everyone that there are about 20 games for the Game Boy Color coming out this month.. some are already out. Hot titles like Yoda Stories, Survival Kids, Duke Nukem, and more. Just so you know.. I would hate to think that everyone was short on cash and couldn't buy all the really cool Game Boy Color software coming out this month... or to think that some people would miss out on Revelations: The Demon Slayer, or Deja Vu 1 & 2 (Later this month), and that quirky Worm Light. Yup.. save your money for what is REALLY important.. after all you are going to need to save up for a tent to camp outside the Theatres November 15th, and some even cooler software comes out next month.. like Pokémon Yellow. Yup.. why go waste your money on "anything else" today? Okay... if you made the mistake of buying anything "expensive"; just remember that like any good Republican; you can sell back part of your gun collection to some retailers for the cash you need. Hmm.. Survival Kids is coming.. What? You kids don't own any guns to sell? Here's a smart idea.. why not pawn your parents firearms when they aren't looking. You'll make the place a little safer and you'll have some good money. *righteous snicker* Basically, I am filling up space. The Iron Giant hits video/DVD on November 23rd.. if you missed it in theatres.. don't miss it on video... rent it, buy it own it. And that's my little "rambling" for today. -PAW-

Adrock: Burn, Berlin, Burn!
Philip is a real Game Boy Teenage Riot.
Infinity_Yak: Don't forget, Yars Revenge will be owning me for the next 3 years :)  Pick it up if you dare.

Quote of the Update: "The Great Greed comes from your world."

Good news?
Hello, I am "Sephiroth" -Philip's Mewtwo- and I have good news. The search team found a cassette in the woods; because we don't know how to do quicktime yet... here's the audio portion.. we found out what happened to Philip, Ice Blue, and Adrock. Click HERE to download the sound file. At first.. we thought we were to late. We tracked them down to an old house.. and inside.. we found Philip, Ice Blue, and Adrock perfectly okay and chilling out with the Knob Mew and its awesome stereo system. Grr. So, I dragged them back home again to update. Lazy freaks. -Sephy-



Scattered News!
In light of VERY little news.. sort of.. we're making this update for people with no attention span.
- Nintendo registered the domain name "GameBoyAdvanced.com" today.
- Pokémon Card is coming to the states. Release Date is tenative for *gasp* March 2000.
- Next September we get Pokémon 2. Guess what date? September 28th, 2000. The same date that the first Pokémon game came out in 1998.
- Nintendo announced that they and Burger King will be doing a promotion in November... for the movie. That's good. Because, there's a Burger King about five minutes away from where I work.. and I go there everyday.. all the toys.. they will be mine.

Philip: I'm still mad that Sephy dragged me back here and made me work. Ice Blue wants to use this very cool Shockwave 2 thingie for the title page.. e-mail us with the verdict.. should we use it for the front? It's Shockwave 2.. and you need shockwave to view it.. but it's nice. CLICK HERE
Foy: Foy! (woo lots of news... fun update...)
Ice Blue: Reserve me a copy of the game, Philip!  We gotta get ready for next year!
LiDo_X: What do you mean no attention span? That's the hardest reading I've done all year!

Unknown to many trainers; there are some unusual little "quirks" to the card game. One would be the card NidoQueen. You can build up a nasty little deck with that card. Just make sure you have enough for energy. Anyways, place 2 Nidoran Females in your deck, and at least 4 nidoran males, two nidorina, four nidorino, lots of Green Energy (Grass), and at least two or more Nidoking cards, and at least one Nidoqueen card.. Now.. if you get a Nidoran female out in to the open.. you cn use Call for family to get the others outside and into the bench. from there.. make sure to evolve them... once you have a bench of Nidokings, that Nidoqueen in play can do up to 100 damage in one turn. How nice.

Check this out!
A late addition.. but a worth-while one! Now.. the GBA can play the older games.. right? Here is an example of two ways the old ones could be displayed. One is a full-screen, and the other is a letterbox. Check it out by clicking anywhere on this article.



Interesting news.
Hello! Beefy_B actually aquired some video footage of Philip, Adrock, and Ice Blue's encounter with the Knob Mew! Check out this still from the video! You can see it by clicking HERE. Oh, also check out this photographers amazing website here. (he he he) -Sephy-

Saturday Night Fever
Okay.. it's a Saturday Update.. beware! Okay.. here's an odd rumour that hit my mailbox; an undisclosed source told m ethat Sakura Wars, and Columns are not the ONLY franchises that Sega is "sending out" for publication on other systems. Ever hear of Phantasy Star? apparently, it's heading to Dreamcast later; but that's not important. A company I can not state the name of right here; because they asked me not too; is planning on porting the original Phantasy Star to the Game Boy Advanced. That's about it for tonight.. -PAW-

Adrock: We keep it raw on the set.
Jazzman: ...and then the great RPG gods decended opon the GBA...
Infinity_Yak: I think it's great that SEGA can be big enough to acknowledge that Nintendo has serious superiority when it comes to the handheld market.  You've got to give them THAT much ;)
Philip: You would be amazed what you can get from developers for the price of a Rice Ball.



Okay, one more.
Here's a preliminary list of Launch titles for the Game Boy Advanced that I was able to dig up. Most of these are unconfirmed.. it's a little interesting to read, really. It looks nice enough and it will weed out in the up-coming months and this list is Japanese anyways.. here's what I found.
From Nintendo
Super Mario World Deluxe
Tetris On-Line Edition
From Capcom
Marvel VS Capcom
Mega Man X
From Konami
Metal Gear Solid
Beatmania GB Deluxe Edition
Interesting.... -PAW-

Adrock: I want to see Super Mario RPG Deluxe. :-)
Jazzman: Bring on the SNES ports! A Link to the Past DX! Where is it??? hmm... lets see some real 32 bit games, too...
Infinity_Yak: Daddy like.  Daddy like.  You can count on me adding these juicy tidbits to my soon-to-be-released AGB-FAQ :)
Philip: Hmm.. Should we change the site name to "Eternal AGB"? Naw.. I didn't think so.

None... :(

In #blue, no one can hear you scream.
Don't you get it? It's Game Over, man, Game Over!.

What is the BEST trainer card ever? Well, if you are someone with a lot of weak pokémon.. Pokémon Center is great; but if you like being cheap.. stock up on "Gust of Wind". Gust of Wind allows you to make your enemies pokémon faint quicker; because you can switch your enemies pokémon around on purpose..
