Welcome to Arkeis.com!
Arkeis (pronounced ark-ICE) is a Pokémon site that focuses on Pokémon art and the games, as well as the many things that take place in those games. Check out Pokémon Factory, where you can find pictures of all your favorite Pokémon drawn by me. And if you're playing the games and want some helpful tips on them, head over to the Game Info section. You can also learn a lot from the Mechanics section, because there are a lot of hidden numbers in the game that have a big impact on how you play. Finally, you can learn how to better train your Pokémon and create a better team by reading the Battle Guides.
Whatever you do, have fun and enjoy the site!

Sprite Update and other stuff

I'm mostly going to upload some sprites I've been working on in this update. However, I'm also doing a Platinum update for my moveset guide because Platinum is coming out soon and many people are starting to work on their teams for that game. You can expect an update on that near the beginning of March.

Also, I'm cleaning up my affiliates list on the right side since a lot of them are dead or have moved. I know I've talked to some of you about this so if I missed you, then
please email me about it.

January...stuff...

It's time for another update and there's quite a bit of stuff to go over. Let's get to the art stuff first. If you've been paying attention to my Youtube videos, you'll know that I'm starting a series of Pokemon digital paintings. I'll be featuring the videos here occasionally. Here's the first one - Charmander!



I'll be doing some more soon. I'll eventually make a whole new section for these things.
Unfortunately, I haven't really done anything for Pokemon Factory yet but I'll get on it when I have more time. I'm just concentrating on school work now. However, I've started a new Poll. The theme for this poll is Baby Pokemon!

Finally...and this is something I should've done over a year ago...I'm hiring moderators for Arkeis Forums. I know that some of you have been begging for this, so here you go! If you're interested, please post in this thread.

Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2008. You were a pretty cool year, so let's hope 2009 also has lots of cool things in store for us. My winter break is almost over, and soon I'll have to go back to college. Fortunately, during the winter I only have to take one class. It meets on Mondays and Tuesdays, which means I will have the rest of the week off, so I shouldn't be overloaded with work.

Anyways, let's start off the year with a trio of big sprites!

Merry Christmas/Happy Boxing Day!
I felt that I should make one last update for the year of 2008. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great Boxing Day (for those of you who celebrate it). Here's a revamp of Delibird. See you on New Year's Day!

~aragornbird | 12/25-26/08

Day 12
The last day before Christmas, and it's our very own snowman - in shiny form!

~aragornbird | 12/24/08

Day 11
Shiny Froslass. I haven't made a shiny in quite a while.

~aragornbird | 12/23/08


Day 10
At last, another sprite. This one is an ice fish!

~aragornbird | 12/22/08

Day 9
A new Pokemon drawing - Swinub!

~aragornbird | 12/21/08

Day 8
All right, for the rest of the updates, I'll be doing things related to Ice-types, to fit with the winter season. Here's a Glaceon avatar! This is my first avatar in a very long time, so enjoy. Remember, you can use it but please give credit!


~aragornbird | 12/20/08

Day 7
Third place goes to Skuntank! That's it for the poll winners. The rest will come after Christmas.

~aragornbird | 12/19/08

Day 6
Here's the second place - Wigglytuff!

~aragornbird | 12/18/08


Day 5
In my last poll, I was revamping some old Pokemon drawings and the 4 with the most votes were done first. Azumarill came in 5th place and since this is day 5's update, I thought it would be appropriate.


~aragornbird | 12/17/08

Day 4
All right, I know I'm behind a few days, but my internet's been acting up recently. I'll catch up soon though. Here's the 1st place in the current poll - Bastiodon!


~aragornbird | 12/16/08


Day 3
This is the last batch of sprites for a while. The next update will have something different.


~aragornbird | 12/15/08

Day 2
Three more sprites for today

The Twelve Days of Christmas!

I am so happy! All my finals are done, the semester is over, and I'm on winter break for the next three weeks! It's such a great feeling. But it's kind of sad too, knowing that this will be my last winter break EVER. Once you graduate from college, you can't take two to three weeks off for the holidays ever again.

So let's make the best of it! If it's the 13th, that means there's only 12 more days until Christmas. And for the next 12 days, I'll be giving you one new gift every day!

Today's gift features the largest sprite I've ever made - the mighty TriDragon!


The challenge was to use at least 20 Pokemon to make a fusion. Well, if you want to see what I used, click here.

See you tomorrow!

Oh God WTF?

I missed the entire month of October and now it's almost half past November! You'd think I was in a coma for the past 6 weeks, but I was just really busy. Still, that's no excuse for not updating this site. Okay, so what have we got here.

I've been working on a ton of sprites lately and there are more to come:


And remember that poll from a while ago? Well, I've finally finished all of the winners! And now I've updated with a new poll. This poll features final stage Pokemon that I still haven't drawn yet. Please take the time to pick who you want to see most. I'll try to get at least 3 done by Sunday of Thanksgiving break, maybe even 4 but don't count on that.

I must tell you that finals week is almost here and I'm going to be super busy until Thanksgiving week and then even busier for a week after that.

Finally, did I mention that TOMORROW (THE 15TH) IS MY BIRTHDAY?

Mini-Update

Not a real update, just wanted to post the rest of the Rotom Forms. The real update will take place sometime next week.
Also, don't view this site in Internet Explorer. There have been problems where the layout appeared too narrow, even though it looks fine in every other browser. So use Firefox, Opera, Safari etc. They're much better than IE anyways. I added a blue line at the top to stretch out the page in IE. It created an annoying horizontal scroll bar at the bottom, but you could easily ignore that anyways.

Also, poll is over. Congrats to our top 4 winners!

Platinum Power!

Platinum has just been released in Japan and it's basically information overload as people are still trying to absorb all the new changes and additions, as well as continuing to discover new things about the game. I've done some major updates in the Platinum page, including a list of all the move tutors and what moves they teach. And as a treat, I've added a couple of the new Rotom forms, with the other three soon to follow.

Anyways, some new sprites.

Oh by the way, have you checked out my Youtube page recently? It's got a couple of new battles, and I'll be adding more in the coming week. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so!
