Jingara for the IE6 users, Shiny Jingara for IE6 users.

Well guys, here you have it. Jingara in regular and shiny form. Much thanks to Esepibe for the revamping of Jingara, you did an excellent job man. Also to Albert and nya_chan for making a sprited version. The biggest thanks, however, must go to Biophantom for creating Jingara's base design, without which we wouldn't even have a Jingara. Expect more updates soon guys, I have the nav bar working in everything except IE6. Bye for now.

I know there hasn't been a news update in a long while, but I haven't been sitting on my rear end doing nothing. I've been working on a really cool navigation bar, so that will be arriving along with the updated layout in approximately a week. Along with this are two things the members have been dying to see. Everybody wants to see chapter 2 of the Pokedox story, and probably want to see that mysterious Pokemon at the top of the story's page even more.

I'll have you all know that these two updates will be coming very shortly, a bit more discussion must be done between those in charge, however.

As for the reason the navigation bar isn't coming out until next week? It's the last week of a ridiculous work load at school. I know it sounds like I'm just complaining about school, but the people that I normally talk to have seen how badly I have had it over the past couple weeks. I have been pretty much missing in action for all of them, and even then I was able to devote several hours to getting work done on the navigation.

All of that being said, some very promising updates are on their way, so stay tuned! That's all for now.

As promised, the surprise is coming along and will be on schedule for release later today. I am, however not posting for this sole purpose, I am posting to once again apologize for the empty promise that was made.

Though this was not my task, I, as the leader of Pokedox, am responsible for all events taking place throughout the site. I've had many people approach me and tell me it's not my fault, and I appreciate these words greatly, but this is my site, and therefore I am responsible for everything that goes on inside it. I had no backup plan at the ready, and had no way of preparing the a worst case scenario. This has been a great learning experience for me, and although many of you may believe that it is entirely not my fault, I feel very responsible for it, and would like to offer my most sincere apologies to all of you. As stated before, future tasks will be thought out much more thoroughly, and I, as the owner of Pokedox, will ensure to never allow something like this to happen again.

All of that being said, the surprise will indeed be coming later today, so check back for updates. I'll be updating this news post, so keep your eyes peeled!

UPDATE: By golly, a half hour away from being late and I gotta get up at 6:00 tomorrow, but it's READY! I'm so excited about this, as there is a lot more in store than what you are about to see. Ladies and gents, I present to you the official Pokédox story! This isn't just a fanfic, this is the real deal. The game storyline will be based on the main events that you read about, and the characters are all official to Pokédox! We have some new and exciting ideas, twists and turns awaiting, so go ahead and dig in to the first chapter!

Now, I would like to give a very special thank you to a very special person, nya_chan, for stepping up and doing such a spectacular job on the first chapter. The characters and their Pokemon were already planned before hand, but she did a thoroughly outstanding job at stepping up and far exceeding my expectations for an introduction to a great story. A big thanks also goes to Biophantom, who came up with a lot of the great ideas you see and will continue to see in the Pokédox story. As I said, we have plenty of exciting things planned and on the way, so make sure you check back often! Make sure you give nya a BIG thanks for her work. Until next time, toodles!

It fills me with utmost regret and disappointment that I have to announce what has likely become obvious to you, which is that the anticipated surprise has not come when it was supposed to.

The person in charge of this surprise, Harry, built a high level of anticipation over the past few weeks, and put the responsibility on himself to get a majority of this surprise completed. It seems that he has stopped coming online as of late, and has brought much embarrassment to all of the Pokedox staff, especially myself. I am now turning to a trusted friend and moderator of Pokedox, nya_chan, to be the leader of this important task. Though we were not able to deliver this wonderful surprise on time, you have my promise that it will be online and available to all by Sunday, April 13. That is in two days from the time of posting this, and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

On behalf of the staff of Pokedox, I give my most sincere apologies for the disappointment that many of you have experienced through this, and I can assure you that accurate deadlines will be set in the future for all upcoming projects and events.

I've had it for a while, but tweaks need to be continuously made for cross-browser compatibility. If you are using Internet Explorer 6 or lower, you cannot view the layout in its current state. If you are using Internet Explorer 7-8, Firefox, or pretty much any other common browser these days, you won't have a problem seeing it. Let me know what you think of the concept. It looks better on screens with a resolution above 1024x768 too, but only a bit better. =P

Click here to see what I've done so far. It's not an enormous difference, but I've been working on something else that'll be released on the 10th, along with what Harry has been talking about.

As the year passes I'm sure you're all asking yourselves when Pokédox is going to start getting some serious updates, yes? That's where I come into things. I'm here to deliver you some very important and breaking news in the Pokédox world.

On April 10th the biggest thing to hit the Pokédox world will be revealed. This is not the release date of the Pokédox game, no, but it is perhaps the next best thing. Heck, in my opinion it's even better than the Pokédox game! It is an update that will be the opening to a whole new world.

Countdown: 26 days.

Hi, I'm Jay, or Snzl, as you may know me on the forums. Just dropping by to say "Hi!" and that I may post articles here, along with freezer geezer, Ryan, and Djoker (Harry). I also have to say, "Sanders" is not my real last name. I just chose it because it makes me seem English, which I'm not. I'm not like Ryan, who's proud to show his full name on the internet. :P

But anyways, I have one last thing to say before I close my introduction. I'd like to thank the awesome Dragonfree of The Cave of Dragonflies for the Sneasel Pixel-Over, and thank myself, if I can, for Goo Blasting it. I would also like to announce that our chatbox is up and running, with Yukinari, Jackuar, RaiBlade, Fury, and the almighty Ryanator as owners, and a handful of mods. Remember, you can always contact me on the forums, if I'm needed.
Sayonara,
Jay

I know you guys want layout changes, I have some physics work to do today but when I'm done I'll get right down to it, so later today you'll see some visual changes.

Anyways. I had a really neat opportunity quite recently; one which I have never had the chance to experience before. By an odd stroke of luck, the user you may know as freezer geezer was coming for a visit in my home town, Toronto, Canada. This was pretty cool for me, as well as for him, cause I had never met any of my moderators before, let alone had he met the owner of Pokedox!

I dunno if it was the same case for him, but I recognized him right off the bat when I was exiting the subway station. Being a year younger than me, he was slightly smaller, and the unmistakable look of a cool nerd due to the glasses/clothing choice.

With FG being fairly unfamiliar with Toronto, and me being unfamiliar with the opposite side of Toronto from where I live, we just decided to head to the closest mall to grab some dinner and talk. We talked as if we had known each other forever, thought it was indeed our first time in person. It's not as hard as I thought it'd be to meet someone after only knowing them online.

So we gave in to temptations and went for the ever-so-fattening KFC, which ended up giving us really cheap buns for our burgers. What can you do? So as the name implies, we got straight down to business, talking about the scoundrels residing on Pokedox. We went through each individual member except Zaig, who we avoided since we had a feeling he was the 35 year old transvestite that was watching us from the table across from ours. After the meal we went to a gaming store and talked about the consoles we wished we had, as well as talking about some cool computer games, like Portal (which he had never heard of).

After a good two hours of chilling, I decided to head off due to some emergency in the subway line which I was worried would delay me. Thankfully it was fine though. I have promised him that the next time we meet, I'm taking him to Pacific Mall. For those of you who watch Russel Peters, you should know that as the place where the Chinese guy tried to sell him a bag for firty-five dowlars. Yeah, I live near that place.

Anywho, expect some layout updates today at some point, I'll try to make it look smexy. Keep in mind the layout is still in big time beta. Also expect more news updates as I was finally able to get the coding done for it! =) Until next time, toodles!
