63 Days

I have made an important decision. For the next sixty-three (63) days, JRBnet will be, I guess you could call it, on pause. After the sixty-three days, JRBnet will most likely be back online with a new website. Thankyou for understanding. This site that you are reading this post on now is also considered closed and will never be updated again as of October 24, 2007. For the mail new site and that JRBnet copyright information go to the main news site here: This Link!

UPDATE:
Pocket Pikachu Log will now close of pause, it will continue getting updates daily!

Pokémon Ranch

With the new Wii Ware system coming onto the Wii in the Spring of next year, Nintendo has announced one of their own Wii Ware games; Pokémon Ranch. This game has you transferring your Pokémon from Diamond & Pearl to Pokémon Ranch. However, it does not seem to be just a Storage Program. According to the Press Conference, you are able of raising the Pokémon in the Ranch. To what end? We do not know. It could be levelling them up, or it could just be a faux leveling up specific to this game. When we have more details we will let you know, as well as screenshots when they are released.We have obtained the first screenshots of this game, which shows the game in its entirety. In this game, you seem to use your Miis to move around the farm. Once transferred, all your Pokémon shall be there in a cute, low polygonal glory. Just remember, this is a small Wii Ware game that obviously has to be less than around 100MB for publishing due to the Wii's memory limits. With this, you interact with all the Pokémon. Some are flying, most on ground and you interact with them in this manner. We hope to get more details soon, but click to view the screenshots. We should have our own soon:

11th Pokemon Movie Teaser

The official Pokemon movie website has revamped itself for the 11th Pokemon movie, featuring Regigigas (and possibly Shaymin, since flower fields are shown, and it is the next "hidden" legendary). There is a teaser trailer to the right of the website (click the play button), and it shows a COLOSSAL Regigigas emerging from the ground (it is basically the same scene that was shown in July's CoroCoro). The location scouting for this movie took place in Northern Europe (Scandinavia), so we can expect beautiful nature scenery for this movie.

Dialga and Palkia also appear at the end of the trailer (Palkia has the same voice as that animal Obi-Wan rides in Revenge of the Sith - the one the clones shoot down), but they won't have any major part in the movie, especially since the footage of them is just re-used from last year's movie trailer. Teaser trailers for Pokemon movies often convey situations that do not happen when the actual movies come out, so expect this to be true with Dialga and Palkia (possibly with the fact that Regigigas is huge, too).

If Shaymin is in this movie, what roll will it have? Maybe it sealed away Regigigas a long time ago, it has become weak [insert nature theme somewhere, like human-induced global warming has hurt it or something, and Regigigas is going to kill them for it], Regigigas has escaped, and now Ash and crew must save the day? Maybe Regigigas is destroying all of the pretty flower fields and they hire their local gardener, Shaymin, to regrow them all, while we all learn about photosynthesis in the process? Maybe Shaymin is evil and it plugs into Regigigas to create Regishaymin to terrorize everyone? Who knows... We'll find out more about this movie in December, when a longer trailer is released.
