I've cleaned up the affiliates section on the left a bit, removing any
dead sites. Also there are two NEW affiliates, so give a warm welcome
to Piplup Princess and Pokemon Journey!
Also, I've reduced the affiliation hit requirement from 300 to 100.
You still need a nice chunk of daily hits, but not as much anymore.
However, I've also decided on something new. For those sites
that are too small to meet the requirements, I will feature your site
in one of my updates. Since I only update every 10-20 days, your site
will be on the top of this page for at least that long.
So if you want to be a part of this, email me with something like "site
feature" in the title and write in your own words why you think
your site is good (no more than 3 sentences please).
Also, the Legendary Pokemon guide has
been updated with info on how to get all the D/P legends.
Halloween is coming up, so check back here on that day because I'll
have something special for you all!
One thing I forgot to mention in my last update was that Arkeis has
now officially been around for one whole year. Whoohoo! Thanks
for your support, guys!
Anyways, the EVs and IVs pages are now updated with D/P information.
The EV section may be especially helpful since I've added some D/P EV
training hotspots.
I've also added some new shiny Pokemon
pictures: Dialga, Palkia, Lucario, Umbreon, and Electivire.
You'll also notice a new Creature Feature to your right. Well, not exactly
new since Typhlosion has been featured before, but this is a much updated
version. I'm going back to only one feature at a time since I'm too
busy to do two.
Also a couple new sprites on the Sprites
Page. A couple of fun new videos on the Battle Videos Youtube section
showing an example of how to beat the Elite 4 with only unevolved Pokemon
(more will come later in the week).
I've added an extra note about affiliates. I have more than I really need
now, so I'm going to be more selective. If you want to affiliate with
me, make sure your site gets at least 300 unique hits per day.
And of course, new Minidex entries and Pokemon Factory drawings like always.
*UPDATE!* Yes, all of the English
names have been revealed on Serebii.
I've been just so busy over the past week with a whole lot of work.
So I haven't done much to the site besides a few drawings and a couple
of Minidex entries.
What I have done is affiliated with two new sites - PokeJungle and Pichu's
World! Both are already pretty large sites so go check them out (well,
PokeJungle is currently down for a server move but will be up shortly).
Sorry for the uneventful update, but I will have more stuff next week!
First off, a couple new pages have been added to the site. One of them
is the new battle guide I've been working on - Move
Combos - which tells you about some basic combos you can use when
planning out your battle strategies. Speaking of strategies, that's what
you'll find in Battle
Videos. It actually links to my new Youtube account, where I'll be
uploading videos of Pokemon battles every now and then.
It looks like we have confirmation on a bunch of new D/P Pokemon names,
so that has been updated on the D/P Pokemon list.
New Forums! Yes, Arkeis finally has
an actual Pokemon-related forum you can now visit. The last one was just
a bunch of randomness that wasn't working out too well. These forums will
be better organized and taken care of. So go join today! Click
here!
And finally, another bunch of entries for the Mini-Dex, including all
the Eeveelutions as well as a some Ghosts.
Sorry for not updating this weekend. I really had to finish a project
and study for a final exam. That meant no new guide either. But now that's
over with.
Anyways, I updated the DP Pokemon list with
the new English names for a bunch of D/P Pokemon:
There is still debate to over what Pochama's English name is, as well
as Fuwaraido's, Skorpi's, and Subomi's. For reference, look to this pic.
Oh snap, new Creature Feature! It was about time anyways. Say hello to
Milotic!
Also, new entries for some of the Hoenn legendaries in the Minidex.
Also thanks to Oliver for providing an entry for the Togepi line!
Also, I'm gonna try to revamp the forums because I've been nreglecting
them so far. I just don't like the direction they're going so far so expect
a major overhaul sometime by next week.
Finally, as a little bonus, I've added three of my teams from each of
the generations in the About page.
Yes, all the legendary Pokemon have been
added to the guide (except for the Diamond/Pearl legends, who will come
once the game is released in the US). And the Hoenn
part of the Minidex is finally up as well. Now I'll begin working on
another guide, though I don't know which it will be yet since I have
several in mind. Maybe it will be a giant Move list or an Evolution
guide or something...you'll see next week.
Anyways, a shiny Kingdra has been added to the Shinies page and a couple
of new sprites have appeared on the Sprites page.
4 new Affiliates...wow! There's Dark Eon Hideout, PokeCountry, PokeCU,
and AshKetchu.nl.
Expect a new Creature Feature next week as well as a bunch of new Pokemon
entries in the Minidex.
Yes, the Johto Minidex section is up with
entries for the Johto starters. Also, I added a bunch of entries to the
Sinnoh Minidex including Palkia, Dialga,
Giradina and the Legendary Psychic trio. Also, thanks to Silverwing for
contributing the entry to the Mukubird line!
And it appears the Minidex link on the left column hasn't been working
all week, but I fixed that now.
Other than that, I've added two more Pokemon to the Legendary
guide: Deoxys and Manaphy, whose code in Pokemon Ranger has been revealed
a couple of days ago.
A new affiliate: PokeLives!
I decided to remove the comment system since you guys are all using the
Shoutbox anyways, which is fine.
Stay tuned next week for the completion of the Legendary guide, the opening
of the Hoeen Minidex section, and of course, more Pokemon drawings!
Sorry, I meant to update last week, really. Anyways, you'll find a bunch
of new pictures in the art section.
Of course, Pokemon Factory got another
update. But I also added two new Shinies - Venusaur and Regirock - to
the Shiny Pokemon Art page. Also, I added
two Scizor Fusions to the Sprites page.
Wow I haven't touched that page in a while. But you can expect more
sprites from me pretty soon.
Two new affiliates to the right. PokeGamer, a relatively new site, and
PCA, a fast growing RPG. I also did the mouse-over format so that it's
more organized.
I'll be putting up the Johto Minidex next
week. You can help out with any Pokemon entry in the Dex if you want.
But be sure you can actually do it. I don't want people who say they
want to help and then not do anything. Just send me an email if you
want to contribute.
Anyways, here's 9 new drawings. I'm too busy to link them to their full-size
versions, so you'll just have to visit the Factory to see them in full
scale.
This update came later than I intended, but better late then never,
eh? Anyways, it's 2007 at last and it looks to be a great year for Pokemon,
with Diamond/Pearl coming out in a few months.
A New Year's Resolution? Update this site more often, for one thing.
;)
Sitewise, I've added Groudon as the new Creature
Feature and Groudon also appears as an avatar, along with Pluse,
Minun, and Umbreon. Check them out in the Avatar
section!
Also, two new affiliates, wow! I'll be reorganizing the affiliate list
soon, but I don't have time at the moment since I'm moving back to college.
But anyways, be sure to check out Cerise Island, the Sun Shrine, and
Pokeuniverse.
So you probably heard about Diamond/Pearl's US release date by now.
April 22nd, 2007. Dang, that's later than expected. But at least it
gives us plenty of time to train some Pokemon for transfer.
Anyways, several updates:
*The Mini-Dex now has it's own link. And the Sinnoh part of the Dex
is now accompanied by the Kanto part. Check it out! And more volunteers
would be appreciated.
*Added Mewtwo and the legendary beasts to the Legendary Pokemon guide.
*Three new affiliates! PokeNebula, Sapphire Milotic, and ElitePoke.
Whoo!
*Also added a link to my DeviantArt page, just because. :)
Also, I'm going to be going on a trip to New York on Saturday to visit
my cousin, so don't expect any updates until next week. I'll probably
put up something on Christmas day though.
After much ancipation, I'm finally revealing a little something I've
been working on - a Mini-Dex!
It's like a Pokedex, except smaller. And being smaller, you can get
information faster and easier than a normal Pokedex. Only the first
three Sinnoh starters are done, but I'll be working on a lot more and
like I said, you're free to help. In fact, if you help out, I'll put
your name on a special credit page I'm making. Just post on the Shoutbox
or email me at aragornbird@yahoo.com.
In other knews, I have a new Creature Feature up featuring Typhlosion!
This is the first CF that will have both Advance and D/P movesets.
I also updated the Shiny
Pokemon Art page with a bunch of new shinies I did.
That's it for today. My winter break will be starting tomorrow so I'll
have more time to update stuff.
Sorry for not updating in a while. Last week I was home for Thanksgiving
break and couldn't really update. Anyways, several new things (besides
art). First, another affiliate! It's Pokestory, a cute site of mostly
fanfiction written by Bruno and Oliver (they even used some of my art
for their splash page).
Oh, and I added a completely new section to the left side. It's called
Guides and Lists and will basically feature any game guides/lists that
I'm bored enough to make. Right now it's just a Legendary Pokemon guide.
It's not done yet. I only have the Hoenn Pokemon written up. I'll eventually
do the FR/LG Pokemon as well as the Diamond/Pearl legendaries.
Also stay tuned for an Evolution guide and a super long list of every
single Pokemon Attack! And another Creature Feature of a very popular
Pokemon. And maybe next time (like this weekend), I'll finally unveil
another site project that you can all participate in. =)
Considering how many hits I get for "Shiny Pokémon", I added a new page
under the mechanics section for Shinies and some tips on how to catch
some. This is different from my Shiny Pokémon Art, which simply has
drawings of shiny versions of Pokémon I did.
I meant to update yesterday. I don't know what happened
exactly. But anyways, several sites out there now have possession of
ALL the clean sprites from Diamond/Pearl. This includes Shiny Pokémon.
So I made a little sprite combining two cute D/P birds, Pochama and
Mukkuru:
Awww...
Anyways, I finally opened up the Avatars page of the Art
section. There, you can use any of the avatars I made. Just give credit,
as always!

Finally, D/P Sprites revealed!
Pokémon Safari has a collection of ALL the Pokémon sprites
for Diamond/Pearl. These sprites are clean rips from the game, not the
blurry screenshots. This includes frontal sprites, back sprites, male
sprites and female sprites.
Not all Pokémon have both male and female sprites, but some of
them do, especially the hilarious Wobbuffet:
Kissy-kissy!
To access these sprites, click on the following links:
Their server may be slow since just about every Pokemon fan in the world
is looking at them right now.
Also, I'll have another Pokémon drawing up later tonight.
~aragornbird | 10/4/06
More D/P Info
More info on Diamond/Pearl have been making their way around the internet.
This includes more names and the battle sprites of the new Pokémon.
I've taken a few of the screenshots and edited them so that they look
brighter and more clear:
Final evolution of Naetle, Dotaitos
Final evolution of Hikozaru, Goukazaru
Final evolution of Pochama, Enpeturo
Yukushii, part 1 of the Legendary Psychic trio
Emuritto, part 2 of the Legendary Psychic trio
Agunomu, part 3 of the Legendary Psychic trio
Glacia, Ice Eeveelution
Leafia, Grass Eeveelution
Coolness.
New D/P Lists
Check out the updated D/P section, there's a list of all the revealed
Diamond/Pearl Pokémon right here.
And there's also a list of the Diamond/Pearl TMs here,
with space reserved for there locations whenever that is revealed.

Another Surge of Pokémon
This is it. With Diamond/Pearl's release only one day away, all the
new Pokémon have finally been revealed. If you're up to date
with your Pokémon news, you would have seen them by now. But
for your reference, here are some links to the new Pokémon and
the info surrounding them:
Serebii.net has a
bunch of info and screenshots concerning the new Pokémon, new
Gym Leaders, and many other tidbits.
filb.de
has a collection of mini-sprites for the new Pokémon so you can
get an idea of what these creatures look like.
Bulbagarden
has a long list of the base stats, traits, egg groups, and other
Pokédex info for both old and new Pokémon in D/P. Some
info may be incorrect, but it's safe to say most of it is accurate.
Finally, two lists of moves. The first one is here
and shows every move in D/P (all the unknown moves are substituted with
numbers). The second one is here
and shows all of the level-up and egg moves for the new Pokémon.
First Affiliates!
Hooray, I've got my first two affiliates for Arkeis! The first one is
a website by one of my friends, Silverwing. Check out Lugia's
Island!
The second one is a D/P Wi-Fi Battling League that will pick up once
D/P hits America. Check out the Topolegion
League and their forums!

Pokémon Factory updated!
College has been keeping me busy, but I still get things done around this
site. For one thing, the Pokémon Factory has been updated with
all of the Pokémon I have drawn so far. Say hello to the two newest
drawings, Relicanth and Golem!
Also I have added a list of TM/HM Locations to
the Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald pages. Pretty basic stuff, but it helps
beef up the content of the game section.
I have plenty of more content and ideas lined up, I just need to find
the time to work on them. So stay tuned!
~aragornbird | 9/18/06
New Coro Coro scans!
Pokebeach.com was the first to
show and translate these new scans from September's Coro Coro magazine.
7 new Pokémon have been revealed, as well as new info about previously
released Pokémon.
It seems that Subomi and previously seen Pinpuku will be
the pre-evolutions of Roselia and Chansey respectively. Minomucchi,
a Bagworm Pokémon, is suspected to be Pineco's pre-evolution although
it may be a completely separate species.
Zugaidos and Tatetops are two Rock-type dinosaurs. These
two will be the Pokémon that you revive from fossils.
Beappa is a Normal-type Beaver Pokémon.
Masukippa is a Grass-type Flytrap Pokémon with the Levitate
ability.
And finally, is Korinku an Electric-type with either Intimidate
or new Belligerence ability.
Another much-anticipated revelation is the official types of Parukia and
Diaruga. Parukia will be Dragon/Steel and Diaruga will be Dragon/Water.
Pictures of two new characters have also been revealed. The first Gym
Leader, Kyouta, is a miner-type person who gives you the Coal Badge.
And Mars, is a female leader of Team Galaxy.
And two new Balls have been revealed. The Heal Ball heals your
Pokémon when you catch it and the Dark Ball makes Pokémon
in dark areas easier to catch.
Anyways, the Diamond/Pearl page has been
updated with these new Pokémon.
~aragornbird | 9/12/06
A Brief Absence
I've finally moved into my new dorm at college this afternoon. That would
explain the complete lack of updates for yesterday and most of today.
But still, I'm looking for affiliates to get more hits, so if you want
to affiliate with me, then you're free to do so (as long as you read the
Affiliate page first!).
Also, the forums
are up! They aren't really Pokemon-related, but they sure will be fun-filled
as long as people register and post!
~aragornbird | 9/9/06
Testing, Testing...
Hooray, the site is finally up! Of course, it'll take a while before people
actually visit, but that's okay. The site still needs some finishing up
to do. All the links on the left that are unclickable mean unfinished
pages, or pages that haven't even been created. Don't worry, they will
be done soon. And a lot of the Pokémon pictures in Pokémon
Factory still need to be uploaded.
Stay tuned for updates!
