Poor MasterTrainer Mike had a cold this week; but fortunately he was still able to attend the Chat from his home (I dunno, there's something about picturing MTM in his pajamas & bunny slippers that just gives me the willies [GRIN]). Super Battle Zone has been officially postponed until Feb. 15, and Aquapolis is still coming soon. But they did reveal which Pokemon card will be included in the upcoming DVD/VHS release of "Pokemon 4Ever".
Enjoy,

SUPER BATTLE ZONE (coming Feb 15, 2003):
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #489 from professorcfk:
is it still possible that SBZ will be bumped from
the 1st to the 15th?
master_trainer_mike says, "It will now be run on
the 15th. We need a little more time to get
it all set up"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #444 from m_p_douglas:
Will Super BattleZone be run in the Unlimited or
the Modified Format. Or will it depend on the TO's decision in this matter.
Also will the TO's be required to post on the Boards when, where, how, what
format, and all those other details?
master_trainer_mike says, "All of them will be run the same format on the same day. Details to come when they are ready."

Suicune."
master_trainer_pat nods solemnly.

clue?

of the baby Pokemon that is in either Expedition or Aquapolis. How's that?"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with
question #484 from soslowpoke:
Any special plans for those few promos that were
released in McDonalds in Japan?

lot of those promos were the same as cards that actually appear in some of the
most recent sets."

question #479 from soslowpoke:
Has a Slowpoke promo ever been considered?

dude!"

We can say that we're hoping to have it in stores
shortly."

So Aquapolis may be available by the end of the
month?

question #460 from jpdevilliers80:
What can you tell us about Skyridge?
master_trainer_mike says, "there are 8 letters in
its name!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Two theme decks again,
large set...it is coming out... that sort
of stuff"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #485 from jpdevilliers80:
So, after Skyridge is released, WotC will be up to
date with Japan, except for ADV Adventure, correct?
master_trainer_mike says, "the great unknown
future"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #493 from m_p_douglas:
Re 485 Every time we get close catching up with
Japan, they get very busy and put out a whole bunch more.

get to do that when you own it :)"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with
question #488 from jpdevilliers80:
How long after Skyridge, do you think, will it
take to release ADV Adventure in English?
master_trainer_pat says, "We have not heard yet."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #469 from jpdevilliers80:
What is the possibility of releasing VS, either as
a set or as a stand alone game like Japan? Promo Sets , maybe?
master_trainer_mike says, "no plans at this time
VS is a separate game"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #475 from mysterioustrainer:
RE: 469 I thought Rocket's Sneasel was from VS.

I didn't say we couldn't cherry pick from these
sets did I?"

question #476 from soslowpoke:
Hmmm...any chance for cards from the Japanese WEB
set or Vending Sets?
master_trainer_mike says, "same answer as before;
no plans on releasing these sets. We may use some
of the cards form time to time"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with
question #490 from soslowpoke:
Any more plans for cute gift sets like Southern
Islands?
master_trainer_mike says, "not at this time"
