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!

The Ides of Pokemon

Today's update will be a pretty long one, mostly because there's quite a lot of content I uploaded. The release of Black and White is only about 2 months away! I might add a countdown timer on the top of this page in the next update. But for now, enjoy the new info that we have on these games as well as the new images I am bringing you.

First, let's get some sprites out of the way. I've done some pretty large sprites last month, most of which are scratch sprites, except for the 4th one, which is a fusion.




Also, due to the new Corocoro scans, I've done some of the new Pokemon revealed in this issue. That goth girl Gochiruzeru will come in a future update. Same thing goes for the sprite contest results.

A Challenge Appears!

Wow, bet you didn't expect an update so quick, right? Well, this is something special.

During May, I've been experimenting with hacking a ROM of Heart Gold. The result is what I call "Hard Gold". Basically, it's a more challenging version of HG/SS where many trainers in the game have much stronger Pokemon. There are plenty of other changes too. If you want a Pokemon game that has a higher difficulty level, check out the new ROM Hacks page and download it now!

NOTE 6/28: It seems that there is a glitch in the game that prevents you from getting past the 4th gym. I'll try to work on it and upload a fixed version soon. Downloads are closed for now.



The other thing I wanted to add is something a little older. If you've ever been to Arkeis's very own deviantART page, you'll find a picture I did a couple weeks ago featuring Lucario and Zoroark. Well, I wanted to put this picture on the actual site, so here you go!

Everyone Get in Here!

Before I begin, I just want to say that I have a summer job with limited internet access. However, I should be able to update regularly unless something happens.

Anyways, last week we saw the reveal of seven new Pokemon, even more than the number of Pokemon revealed in May. As usual, I have added these guys to the Pokemon Factory.


In other news, the Sprite Contest has officially closed. I got over 100 entrants just like last year. Thanks to everyone who entered! I'll try and post the results sometime around mid-July.

Welcome the New Guys

So that week that new Black & White legendaries were revealed. That makes a total of 5 new Pokemon revealed in just one month. Well, these two guys are certainly..interesting...actually, I couldn't help thinking about Palkia when I drew them! What do you think?


Anyways, I've added them to the Pokemon Factory for your viewing and use. I also worked on a bunch of Pichus last week.

In other news, the Sprite Contest I'm holding will end in exactly one week! If you haven't sent in your entry yet, you have 7 days to do so!

Speaking of sprite contests, I entered an Ace Attorney sprite contest. You can check it out here (it's the last one on the page). If you like it, please click on the "Continue to the Voting Page" link and vote for my sprite (Xyris Andina). Please only vote ONCE! Thanks for your support!

And if you really like polls, check out the new Black and White poll on the right!

Welcome the New Guys

Oh finally! The new starters are revealed and eh....I'll leave you to form your own opinions about them. As for me, I'm definitely going with the Grass one. I mean, just look at him! All smug and everything. Anyways, I've already completed them for the Pokemon Factory. Three in one day! That must be a new record! Check out the video below:


Secondly, I want to mention my new Sprite Contest! This one is based on Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Go to the Sprite Contest page and check it out. Remember to read the rules in the video and have fun spriting!

Black, White, Gold, and Silver

It took me a while to update, but I finally did. First of all, I'm sure you're excited about the news on Pokemon Black and White. I've made an entirely new section for these two games over on the Game Info area. Of course, there's not too much we know so far besides some screenshots.

Next is an update for Heart Gold and Soul Silver. More specifically, I updated the Legendary Pokemon page so that it has information on how to get the legends in HG/SS.

And that's not all because I also uploaded a new speed painting last week. With Squirtle finished, that means all three Kanto starters are complete and marks the beginning of a whole new section - Mobile Wallpapers! Go check it out!

Finally, some new sprites have been added.


Unfortunately, I haven't done anything new for Pokemon Factory, but I will have some more artwork up soon!

Things to See and Watch

Hey everyone, hope those of you living in North America are enjoying your copy of Heart Gold/SoulSilver. Today just felt like a nice day to make an update. Last week, I completed another speed painting. This time it's Bulbasaur! The final image will be posted for download soon.

Speaking of Youtube, you should all subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. I've post the link at the top of this page for your convienience.

Lastly, I've completed the rest of the poll winners, so enjoy!

The Ides of Pokemon

Well, job searching still hasn't proved successful, but I can't give up. Actually, I do have a freelance job that's paying well so all is not lost.

I did do some sprites last week, so I'll add these to the main sprite gallery.



Also, 5 of the 10 Pokemon from January's poll have been completed. I'll do the rest soon. Expect more updates than usual this month, as well as some more videos!
