No Mere Illusion

In an earlier post, I mentioned the first proof that a fifth generation of Pokémon existed. Now that same proof in the form of those tricky fox Pokémon has been revealed in English at long last, in light of a new movie coming in 2011. It turns out, their English names are the same as their translated Japanese names, Zorua and Zoroark. In the games, Pokémon Black and Pokémon White, they cannot be obtained by normal means - they are event-exclusive only. To make things simpler, though, Zorua is confirmed to evolve into Zoroark at Level 30, so at least obtaining a Zorua would cover a player in filling up the new Pokédex. And with that, 7 English names of these new Pokémon have been revealed to the public. 149 more to go!

Candace's Clueless Christmas

A year ago, Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation was welcomed into the world of television and became a smashing success. Now, an extended edition has come and gone, which features the song "What Does He Want?", originally deleted due to time constraints. Now, only one questions remains: Did this make it onto iTunes? And even if it did... how can we tell? The 30-second episode preview doesn't help, that's for sure. Won't somebody tell me! Why? 'Cuz it'd be nice. What else?

First Human Drawing Ever

This is it! My first human drawing... in anime-like form! This is my OC planned for a future video game I came up with back when I was in high school. Her name is Princess Shaya Verda. She is 10 years old. This original character belongs to ME and ME alone! PLEASE do NOT USE or STEAL!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I MEAN IT!!

A very young and beautiful girl raised by fairies, Shaya learned the art of swordplay and magic and took her first steps towards royalty at a young age. She has gained much wisdom beyond her years, though her past is clouded in mystery, and she leaves her palace frequently in hopes of living a normal life. When she met Magis, a young sword master, they became romantic friends and she started spending more of her time with him. She loves swimming and adventuring, and when she is chosen by destiny to save her island home, she is thrust into the greatest adventure of her life!

Well, you could save a copy of this magnificent drawing, I guess, but no claiming it as your own or anything like that!

Baldegoon Balderdash

Nowadays, some of the newer Season 2 episodes of Phineas and Ferb air in different languages before making it here to Disney Channel and Disney XD. One of the three "lost episodes" that has finally been identified is no exception. Known as "Make Play", in English this strange episode has aired in South America in Spanish languages first and in it, Candace meets Princess Baldegoon from Drueselstein who coincidentally looks exactly like her and they decide to switch lives a la "Prince and the Pauper". You can imagine things get out of hand from there. Phineas and Ferb are inspired by Jeremy and the Incidentals to build a giant jukebox for music-listening pleasure and Candace is apparently displeased that her lookalike makes no moves to bust them. Well, Candace, what did you expect? Now what about the two remaining "lost episodes"? Well, here are a few new crazy rumors. It is said according to an interview with Laura Dickinson that "Rollercoaster: The Musical" is set to be the TRUE Season 2 finale episode, which originally intended to be a Season 3 episode in the same way that Candace and Jeremy hooking up was to take place in Season 3. Also, according to Disney book sources, Season 3 is currently set to begin next Spring.

Reshiram and Zekrom rise to fame!

Oh, yeah! Happy Thanksgiving, Americans (I'm still scolding you Mainers for your terrible decisions made at the month's beginning, so boo-hoo to you) and for all you Pokémon fans, here's a holiday treat! In addition to the giant Pikachu float making its tenth appearance in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, 14-foot tall sculptures of the cover Pokémon from Pokémon Black and Pokémon White, Reshiram and Zekrom, were also introduced in the parade to celebrate the upcoming English release of the games next spring. Cool, huh? The mascot of Pokémon may not be alone in soaking up the fame and glory. Reshiram and Zekrom are the first other Pokémon to star in the exotic parade marching down 34th Street. Get ready for the dragons to battle it out when the games arrive and a whole new adventure awaits all you Trainers! Look out, Team Plasma! The heroes are here!

Phineas and Ferb Fan Fiction Blues

Whether or not it's because Phineas and Ferb Season 3 is taking its time to get here, a lot of stuff, be it rumors or just fanon as the Phineas and Ferb Wiki calls it, is surfacing. Apparently, Internet users are clueless as to understanding the difference between what really is happening in the show and what is meant to be kept as fan fiction only, particularly for a section that is aptly known as the Phineas and Ferb Fanon Wiki. Please, users, plenty of your imaginative nonsense can go there, so why is the Phineas and Ferb wiki still unclean? And who the hell is saying the show is getting freaking canceled? As if! The brothers are getting their talk show, the Christmas episode is getting an extended version, there's a TV movie on the way, and of course Season 3 has yet to air! I know these things just aren't getting here soon enough, but why do these users have to make stuff up about it? It doesn't make any sense and in most cases, the show's standards get broken. Do us all a favor and keep a good source site clean. Don't make the show look bad! Just because it has the potent to surpass Spongebob Squarepants...

Baljeet Who?

"You wouldn't happen to be talking about me, would you? I'm just your average grade 'A' student. Okay, maybe I did a whole song and dance number on it, but that's beside the point. So, why are you mentioning me again? My last name? I thought that was personal! Top secret! Classified information! Sure, Phineas, Ferb, and all their friends have revealed to the general public their last names, but not me. Wait a minute! What the heck?! First, Candace doesn't let me sing and now I'm the only one without a surefire last name?! I'd get angry, but I already did a rock song on that once. So, tell me. Who are the wise guys who thought my last name was Patel? That is actually the last name of my friend Mishti from India. Oh, you people have got to listen more closely to our dialogue! What? What you want me to do? Go back up on stage and sing in punk rock form 'Give Me a Last Name'? No way! I wouldn't do it even if my nerd ego got bullied into it by Buford. Speaking of which, he's always there to bully me when no one else is. We make quite a pair, don't we? But that's beside the point, too! If I recall correctly, Swampy once said my last name was 'Rai', but then that information was told to be taken down due to complexities or something. Who would have thought that my last name of all the others would be irrelevant?! Martin Prince, eat your heart out!"
