My summer vacation was so great and relieving that I had completely forgot that I had a website to run! I did catch all 150 Pokémon on my FireRed game, and I completed my LeafGreen game and got 103 Pokémon! I could easily finish my Pokédex as soon as I want to by transferring Pokémon from FireRed. I got my Pokémon Emerald game and strategy guide from PokémonCenter.com; the strategy guide is very well organized, but I haven't seen the Nintendo Power one yet so I can't judge them.

Nobody ever mentioned it, but Pokémon Emerald is the most incredible thing that could ever happen to Pokémon breeding! As soon as I explored the area around Route 117 and Mauville City, I knew that Pokémon breeding was going to be a lot more convenient for everyone. There is a straight line from the Battle Tent in Verdanturf Town to the beach in Route 118. Now is not the time for to explain why this is so important, but someday I will write all about it. After you beat the Elite Four, Scott will invite you to go to the Battle Frontier, which is an area for players to test their best Pokémon against realistic opponents who will use outstanding strategies to win against you. In the Battle Frontier, even if you aren't one of the greatest trainers of the game, you can still visit an old man who will tell you how good your Pokémon are. He doesn't tell you specific details about your Pokémon, but he will average all of your Pokémon's stats and rate them, then he will tell you which stat that Pokémon is best for. Again, I don't have time to explain why this is so very important, but I plan to write some detailed reports about it later this year.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Gamecube will be coming out soon this year or next year and will be featuring brand new Pokémon. I think it is time for me to retire from any new Pokémon games. I will continue to work on this website, but I will not add any information about the newest Pokémon games unless I can get somebody to help me with the website.
