A Teenager’s View On Cinccino

By Matt

Pokemon White Version has currently been bringing me a lot of surprises, especially with Minccino. Since I have limited knowledge of the fifth Generation Pokemon, I do not know which Pokemon evolve and which do not. In the Japanese versions of Pokemon, Cinccino is referred to as Chillaccino, which sounds like a type of coffee. Cinccino is a Scarf Pokemon because of the scarves that it appears to be wearing. Of course, it’s not a scarf, maybe just fur.

In the game, I have yet to evolve a Minccino into Cinccino. As a guy, I find Cinccino one of the few Pokemon that are really, really hot (serious). I find Cinccino sort of strange; this is one of the few Pokemon (maybe even the only one) that undergoes a one-letter name change. But I still love them, no matter what its name is; I can always just rename it. I find Cinccino so hot that I could talk all day about it, but explaining more about it would be a better choice for the audience (sighs of relief). Cinccino has a capability to learn more moves through TMs.

Hoenn Region Pokemon

By Amanda

Treecko is a grass type starter, known as the wood gecko Pokemon, and known as Kimori in Japan. It can learn strong moves like mega drain, quick attack and pound. It can evolve into Grovyle at level 16, and into Sceptile at level 36. In the Anime, Ash caught a Treecko during his adventures in the Hoenn region. It evolved later into Grovyle, and latter during his adventures in the battle Frontier, it evolved into Sceptile.

Torchic is a fire type starter, known as the chick Pokemon, and known as Achamo in Japan. It can learn strong moves like flamethrower, peck, and slash. It can evolve into a Combusken at level 16, and then into Blaziken at level 36. In the Anime, a trainer named May received Torchic as her starter Pokemon, and soon joined with Ash on his adventures in Hoenn. She used Torchic and her other Pokemon to win ribbons at contests.

Pokemon Black & White Tips: Victini Beatstick

By: Brian Hsieh

Pokemon Black and White have reached the United States and have been around for over a week now. The Victini event is still in progress so be sure to get one through Nintendo wifi before it ends. While the gameplay has so many features that I could discuss, my main point will be about the Victini event.

Once you acquire the Liberty Pass found in the Pokecenter (a man in a bellhop uniform will give it to you), you’ll be able to use it when necessary. Once you enter Castelia City, which is right after you win the second badge, you can walk on the outskirts of the city to find the docks. On the farthest dock to the left, there is a boat that will take you to Liberty Island. Once you arrive, you’ll notice that Team Plasma has taken over the island.

My Favorite Starter Pokemon

By Anonymous

With the release of generation 5 I have one very important question for you, “which Pokemon starter is your favorite?’ While you ask yourself that question please allow me to give my input on which starters I think are the best ever. Just because I say starters Doesn’t mean their all in one generation. I mean a favorite grass starter, fire starter, and a water starter.

My favorite fire starter definitely has to be the new one, Tepig. Why you may ask? Well for one I think this starter is extremely unique. I mean look at it! It’s an awesome fire piggy. Not to mention its evolutions make me squeal every time I see it. If you still need other reasons here are more to think about. For one, Tepig gets a great evolutionary move set down the line if you train it properly. Not to mention the addition of and additional type which is Fight. Tepig can learn about all of the powerful fire moves and gets a special move for triple battles. So not only is this Pokemon extremely cute, It is well rounded, a great first pick for an adventure, and gains a sub type that makes up for its weaknesses.

A Teenager’s View On Quilava

By Matt

It would be really hard to guess someone’s favorite Pokemon, seeing as there are at least 500, including the new Unova region. The Pokemon I would like to share with you today is Quilava, also known as Magumarashi in the Japanese versions of Pokemon. It’s always been a favorite for me since childhood. There’s really no possible explanation I can offer. I remember when I first looked at that Quilava Pokemon card. It gave me some sort of feeling to hold on to it.

A Teenager’s View On Togetic

By Matt

My second favorite Pokemon would have to be Togetic, the Happiness Pokemon! One might ask why this is; usually I just say because it makes me happy. (I’ll explain later). The first time I saw a Togetic was when I was playing Pokemon Coliseum (for the Game Cube). This is a spoiler alert for those who haven’t finished the game, so look away now:

Pokemon Trainer Zone

By Matt

When I got Pokemon White Version, I wanted to sign up for the Global Link. The site told me I had to create an account at the Pokemon Trainer’s Club. After I did, I searched around the site, looking for something to do. Although this site is kid-friendly, I didn’t mind it (being a kid at heart too) and decided to play a couple of games in the Fun Zone. The site tutorial told me that playing games earns Trainer Tokens, which can be used to spend on a number of items for your trainer sprite.

Watching episodes online (in the Animation section) can also earn Trainer Tokens. To curb the enthusiasm, however, the site only lets you earn fifteen every week, and it resets on Saturday. I don’t seem to mind, as the accessories in the store are very cheap, ranging from two to six tokens on average. For those that have been lifelong fans of the game, wallpapers are available for The site features a Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game) part of the site filled with strategies for winning at the game, a list of all boosters released from EX Ruby and Sapphire, which was about six or seven years ago.

Pachrisu’s Click-Clack Attack Game

By Matt

This article will discuss Pachirisu’s Click-Clack Attack which can be found here.  While waiting for the Global Link to come out on March 30th, I figured; why not try a game or two in the Fun Zone? The first few games I played were very fun; I found Click-Clack Attack one of the most addicting games that took up a lot of my free time. Pachirisu’s Click-Clack Attack is a game with a simple concept: Get all the discs in the pockets; this is similar to the game of billiards.

Pokemon Tick Tock Walk Game

By Matt

Another game I stumbled upon while waiting (and still am) for the Pokemon Global Link (which will be open starting March 30th) is the Pokemon Tick-Tock Walk strategy/time-based game.

This game can be found under the Fun Zone section of the Pokemon Trainer’s Club. You can download it for free here.

The reason it is a strategy game is because placement and timing is very crucial to clearing stages. This game reminds me of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: March of the Minis (for the DS). In that game, blocks were placed so the Minis (Mario’s robots) could get items and clear stages. However, blocks would be needed so the Minis would have somewhere to cross.
