Sunday: Welcome To Serebii.net V. 9.0
- 11-1-2004-17:00-EST - Serebii

It Came A Lot Faster than we anticipated. We were hoping to take a nice steady pace of a Wurmple and ended up going the Speed of a Ninjask with Full Acceleration using ExtremeSpeed. So we have it. SPP V. 9.0, Designed by PiPikachu, Coded and Implemented by Me (we're both arguing on which was the harder job).

This Layout not only looks a lot better, but it has also decreased the amount of page loading required which may increase site speed
Now since we rushed through it there may be a few problems so if you see any e-mail me (Contact Us link above) notifying me of the page and the problem and i'll try and fix it. This layout is best for computers on 800x600 resolution And Higher...Preferably higher. If you feel that the font is too small for you, just alter the font size on I.E. and it'll be fine.
Anyway, I will update with some content tomorrow...obviously I've been busy today

Until Tomorrow, See Ya

Saturday 2 of 2: Episode Guide

Future Games?

As some of you may or may not know, one of the leaders of Pok�mon, Tsunekazu Ishihara, said recently in an interview in Japanese Magazine Famitsu that they may reveal a new GBA or GCN Pok�mon Game at the E3 expo this year. However many people are jumping the the conclusion that these are new RPGs. They may be that, even though its soon, but its just as likely that they'll be standalone games like Snap and Channel.

Just a Helpful reminder
