DP Box Art

While Minor News, Earlier today the company AM3, the company which produced the Pokémon Anime to be playable on the DS & GBA in Japan, revealed the Box Arts for Diamond & Pearl, however since those box arts & release info have been removed from their site. The Box Arts feature the two Pokémon that we revealed last week. We hope to get higher resolution artwork of the Boxes within the next week or so. They also revealed a possible release date September 28th 2006. However due to the fact that the site removed it, it is possible that these are not the final boxes and/or release date.

New Deoxys - FAKE

Last night a new scan arrived showing a shadowed form of what appeared to be a new Deoxys. Some sites went around posting it as real and since I have received several e-mails regarding it. However that scan is completely and 100% fake. It's a combination of many previous scans and screenshots. Just to confirm, the picture to the right is a picture of the fake Deoxys so you can stop the spreading.

Remember at times like these a lot of fake info gets spread up, sometimes by smaller sites looking for bigger audiences. Just be sure to always come here as we'll have real information first.

Until Next Time, See Ya

Ok, because a handful have been e-mailling this image, stop e-mailling it to me. The image I am referring to is the "clearer" version of the Pokémon I revealed on Friday. The image going around is fan art based on the actual image and while it is likely to be close to the final product, it can easily be inaccurate so I will not be posting anything of it. It is Fan Art and that is that.
