Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain today exited the race for his party's nomination amid a cloud of alleged sexual harassment and philandering. In his exit speech he quoted from a song in Pokemon: The Movie 2000 by Donna Summer titled "The Power of One".

"Target, Toys R Us and Best Buy are all offering deals this week meant to get shoppers to make multiple purchases. Meanwhile, K-Mart is offering a hot deal on Mafia II releasing this week and a similar deal on Red Dead Redemption."

The first Pokémon of the 5th generation has been somewhat revealed during tonight's episode of Pokémon Sunday. And by that, I mean we have been shown its silhouette, but nothing else. However, this has been enough to rile up fans around the world, many of whom have already speculated as to what exactly the silhouette depicts.
"Following the official announcement of their Wii Sports Resort launch activities earlier today, Nintendo have announced yet another public event for their UK audience. If you’re looking for some free family fun this summer, step into a magical land full of Pokémon at the Pokémon Village Fête where you can experience the very latest Pokémon videogames for Nintendo DS and Wii and take in a screening of the 11th Pokémon movie – Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior."
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently revealed that the Pokemon we know and love almost didn't make it to the West. When the games were about to leave Japan, localizers told Nintendo that Western audiences would never accept the cute little monsters and advised Nintendo to make the creatures more "muscle-bound" to appeal to Western gamers. Nintendo didn't like the idea and decided against it.
Turns out Nintendo had the right idea.
"We learned on the 7th that "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver," the second entry in the popular RPG series, originally released on the Gameboy system in November of 1999, will be remade for the Nintendo DS this autumn under the titles "HeartGold" and "SoulSilver." New elements will be added in this tenth anniversary return to the Johto Region.
A continuation of the original series (Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu), Gold and Silver recorded remarkable sales of 23,000,000 copies ..."
Pokemon fansites all over the web are going absolutely nuts over a recent imminent announcement of a major Pokemon game. Next Sunday on Pokemon Sunday (Japan's anime plus anything Pokemon show) is what many are expecting to be the official unveiling of Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver remakes. Aside from Japanese magazines having a hand in this, possibly the biggest giveaway of it all was a display of gold and silver party balls displayed during the show.
"NetBattle Supremacy is the latest version of NetBattle, with Diamond and Pearl pokemon included. This version of NetBattle is not updated or maintained by us. For support and bug reports, please visit the Official NetBattle Supremacy Website."
That's right, Nintendo is planning something quite special with DSvision. It'll be coming out on the 18th of December.
The package will be 2GB all up. It'll comprise five of the movies, totaling to over five hours worth of watching!
"For the first time, Dragonite, one of the strongest Dragon-type Pokemon, will be available at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide as Pokemon USA, Inc. and Nintendo of America Inc. offer Pokemon players a special two day opportunity to obtain this unique character. On Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9 from 12 pm to 4 pm, Pokemon fans who bring their Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl Game Card , along with their Nintendo DS, to any Toys"R"Us store in the United States and Puerto Rico will have..."
"The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon 151, a new brand intended for adult Pokémon fans. An official Web site opens Thursday, and Japanese Pokémon Center stores have begun selling four types of stylized T-shirts. In addition, a Diamond and Pearl battle tournament for ages 15 and up will be held at the Tokyo store July 4.
The four T-shirts currently available for pre-sale feature stylized designs of Hypno, Cubone, Articuno and Mewtwo, respectively."
Pokefreaks everywhere should start getting excited: the Legendary Pokemon Deoxys will be given away at their nearest Gamestop from June 20-22 and June 27-29.
Deoxys is a psychic type Pokemon which does not evolve, but can transform into four different forms, each with a separate stat-based purpose. Deoxys has also been featured in "edutainment" cross-promotional programs with NASA (it formed from a mutation of a extraterrestrial virus exposed to a laser beam).
"If you missed the Pokemon Darkrai giveaway event at Toys R Us stores over the weekend, you still have the entire month to pick up the little guy at the Nintendo World Store.
An employee of the Store just confirmed to us that Darkrai will be available there until the end of June. So if you haven't snagged that lil' Legendary yet, there's still time!"
Pokémon USA just announced the Pokémon Hoedown, er, Showdown, which will pit the best Japanese and American Diamond and Pearl players against in each in a battle of ultimate skill.
The qualifier events begin July 12 and 19 in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, while the finals are scheduled for an Orlando, Florida date on August 16. To obtain entrance to the qualifier events, willing participants must first complete a quiz at the official site.
Diamond and Pearl may be running strong, but it looks like the next game to be out will come later this year. That much was implied by Japan's CoroCoro magazine's latest issue, which had listed a time-line of the past Pokemon handheld titles.
The magazine didn't give out any more details, but it did note that more details will come on May 15th about the newest addition.
Start thinking up that stone name that will be the name of the game.
Best games. These really depend on people's tastes. So, different sites have different lists. Here's what QuickJump (qj.net) has as the top games of 2007. Its an all around list that includes all current-gen platforms.
Whether they are awarding games on the high powered PS3, or the innovative and fast-selling DS, they have always looked at gameplay rather than graphics. Calling all Cars is a good example of this, winning an award for it's fun gameplay!

With E3 quickly approaching, Eurogamer has released it's newest EGTV episode featuring a behind the scenes look at SEGA Rally. Also included is an exclusive interview with the developer of Lego Star Wars, Traveller's Tales and if that isn't enough for you they also get a chance to talk with Mr Pokémon Tsunekazu Ishihara about the new pokemon releases Diamond and Pearl.
IGN showcases GFK's charts for the past week's sales in Australia with Pokemon Diamond obviously claiming the number 1 spot followed by Pokemon Pearl in second and then Sing Star Pop Hits Bundle. The charts are broken up by console and to see the top sales for each go to the source.
American and Japanese owners of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl have already traded over ten (yes 10) million Pokemons through the games Wi-Fi connected "Global Trading Station" or simply dubbed GTS. Thats not just a lot. Ten million could already populate a whole nation of Pokemon.
Whats even more fascinating (or disturbing, however you want to look at it) is that Pokemon Diamond & Pearl was just released about a month and a half ago in U.S. shores. The Japanese versions have been out since la...
"If rumours circulating the Internet are to be believed Nintendo has started to bring the ban hammer to people who have used the Action Reply to enable some specific cheats on their Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. So far using the codes "National-Dex (After talking with Game Director)", "Catch All 493 Pokemon" and "All Shiny" has allegedly resulted in players getting banned."
What do you get when the hugely popular Pokemon series barges its way into Nintendo's DS Lite fabrication facility looking for some ego-bolstering glory? What you get is everyone standing aside while the Pikachu DS Lite is born. Prepare for them to be rarer than rocking horse dung!
"Each stop on the tour will become a Pokémon fan's paradise with interactive game play stations showing off the brand new games, as well as other brand new Nintendo DS games. Plus there will be a Pokémon Trading Card Game play area, and a special Touch! Generations' area for everyone to enjoy!"

April has come to an end, and so IGN does its game of the month. This is for specifically for the Nintendo DS though, so it is no surprise that the winner of the DS Game of the Month is Pokemon. IGN recommends this game, as you'll get a lot of game for your money, and as we know, Pokemon is an amazingly fun series. Some of the past Game of the Months have been Castlevania, Meteos, and of course there have been many more.
Gamedaily interviewed several people in NYC's Rockafeller Plaza and asked them if they liked Pokemon. People from ages 7 to 56 were asked if they liked the series and most responded with yes. They were also asked their favorite Pokemon. Some said classics like Pikachu, but others said not as popular ones like Shroomish.
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl have combined to have record-breaking Pokemon Sales! They have had a total of One Million games sold within these first Five Days of the North American release. Half of those games were pre-ordered, and the rest of the games were just picked up from the store. This is contributing quite well to the 155 million Pokemon Games that have been sold since the series was made a decade ago.
Linked to from Joystiq, apparently it has been discovered that Japanese Pokémon players are willing to give up some of their better Pokémon for even the lowliest of low-level fodder simply because...their names are in English.
"Mark June 21st down in your calendars Pokémon freaks! That's the day that Diamond and Pearl will be available around the country. Available on DS for an RRP of $69.95, the new titles build on the compelling Pokémon gameplay we've known and loved since the series' first outings on Game Boy. What's new? Well, there are another 100 Pokémon to collect, in addition to the 386 from previous versions, but more exciting will be the game's Wi-fi functionality. Trading Pokémon with players from around ..."
Did you miss out on pre-ordering Pokémon to get that nifty stylus? Or do you simply not like the series but have the need to just use SOMETHING better than the stock stylus that comes with your DS? You actually have two choices!
Amazon.com is selling both the Dialga and Palkia styli for $2 each with FREE SHIPPING included. You are only limited to one per order though so you're only going to spend $4 at most. Those with Amazon Prime are fortuate enough to be able to use their Prime stat...
"Nintendo has revealed that more than half-a-million Pocket Monster fans have pre-ordered the upcoming Pokémon Diamond and Pearl editions of the phenomenally successful franchise in the US.
533,000 copies of the DS titles have been pre-ordered and it's already set to become one of the best-selling videogames of 2007 Stateside. So far, pre-orders are double that of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, which were released in 2004 and went on to sell more than 3.4 million copies.
Pokémon Diamond ..."
"Pokemon Diamond and Pearl follow the adventures of an unnamed soon-to-be champion (that's you) as he/she trek through the land of Sinnoh. It's a new world with new species, but for Pokemon veterans it's going to look very similar to any of the other locals from previous games. The goal is to capture as many pocket monsters as you can, raising them to do friendly-but-deadly battle with other Pokemon, and collect badges from Pokemon Gyms across the lands. Along the way you'll battle rivals, thw..."
"Though Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl don't hit US shelves until April 22nd, Nintendo has given us the opportunity to take our time to get through the Sinnoh Region in the DS RPG by sending us copies of both games a week and a half before it's supposed to ship. Very nice indeed.
Of course, we just got the game a mere couple of hours ago. The Pokemon adventures are incredibly deep experiences, so posting a hands-on the same day the games hit our desks isn't going to even skim the surface..."
