Yes people it’s true! After Game Freak announced a new generation of Pokémon during Pokemon Sunday, the very first Pokemon is revealed only on silhouette and the details are still unknown on this point but this is known that this new Pokemon will be starring in the next movie Gen’ei no Hasha Z (Ruler of Illusion Z).

Ang sarap talaga maka kita ng mga fan made pokemon no? iisipin mo sa mga gumawa ay talagang napaka talentado nila. Sana may independent pokemon series din tulad ng Pokemon Hunter, sayang hindi siya series dahil inspirasyon lamang siya. Kung may official manga series ang Pokemon…syempre hindi rin mawawala ang fan made comics na ginawa rin minsan ng PKMN-ph Art Staffs at gagawa pa sana noon ng sprite based comics na tulad nito, sana mabigay ulit ito ng buhay. Eh ang gumawa ng mala Muymoy palaboy na ang cover mo ay ang mismong paborito at pinaka unang theme song ng pokemon? hanep no? kung sa sobrang pagka baliw mo sa pokemon at kine-claim mo na “I am the Pokemon Master!”? nanaisin mo pa bang matulad dito?

Ay? nakita nyo na yan sila? kayo? may ma-sa share pa ba kayo diyan?

Anong klaseng Pinoy Pokemon Fan ka ba? ....Abangan

Fans are one of the main contributors to a franchise’s success. These may come in the forms of fan arts, fan videos, fan sites, fan fiction, fan clubs, and cosplay. One of the biggest contributions I’m about to tackle is fan videos.

Fan videos may contain contents from games, anime, movies, television series or even one’s own footage. But, the most popular type of fan videos is an AMV or Anime Music Video. An anime music video is a music video consisting of clips from one or more anime series or movies set to songs. These are usually fan-made unofficial videos. They can also be set to video game footages.

These days, AMV’s are widely popular among anime fans. And, “Pokemon” is one of the most popular anime used in these AMV’s.

There are tons and tons of “Pokemon” AMV’s scattered all over the Internet. Most of them can be found on video-hosting websites such as “YouTube” and “AnimeMusicVideos.org”. I myself make AMV’s and I use “Pokemon” as the anime of my choice. Below you can find sample “Pokemon” AMV’s. Enjoy!

And my very own “Pokemon” AMV.

I hope with this article, “Pokemon” fans will be able to make their own AMV’s and share it to the world, which at the same time, spreads the success of the “Pokemon” franchise.

Pokemon battling started long time ago with the use of link cables. These cables were attached to the Gameboy in order for the player to trade and battle with one another and thus, making a scene, a really competitive one. As time goes by, Pokemon emerged and placed its very amusing concept on top of the competitive play for a handheld console – the Wi-Fi Battling.

Wi-Fi feature of the Nintendo DS finally gave birth to the Pokemon online scene which includes trading, battling, and sharing thoughts in a forum.

Basically, Wi-Fi battling is only one of the major heats of Pokemon and it is growing bigger. With the advent of Diamond and Pearl series in the year 2006, competitive Wi-Fi play swarmed around the world making Pokemon a success hit for another term just like the series’ predecessors.

Battling through Wi-Fi gives you something that even battling through a wireless connection with a friend just behind you don’t; Wi-Fi battling gives you more experience and ideas on how to use certain Pokemon and moves in a team. This feature also became a success in many forums; making gyms within the forum for the people to challenge just like what the game does in-game and making trainers meet-up with other fellow members of the forum to share things about Pokemon.

The battling scene here in the Philippines is quite small compared to the other countries but the scene is just fine because active players stay active and members from different parts of the country gathers to play Pokemon. One of the examples of the battling scene is our Pokemon League. Pokemon League challenges the members of the site to evaluate who is the Pokemon Champion within the forums. As the battlers go find their way, many of the other kids are joining too in order to prove their knowledge in Pokemon therefore, making the scene a success.

Pokemon Wi-Fi battling established a really good foundation for their future revolution. As the battling community grows, people will learn to love Pokemon, people will be battlers too and many trainers are yet to come for the future battling generations of Pokemon.
