Hi, this is Issue #10, and we have officially entered double figures. Well, it isn't an amazing acheivement, but it's a start

Pokemon Ranch is set to come out in Japan soon, but again, there is absolutely no chance that we will get it within let's say, well, a long time, so all we can do is import a Japanese Wii, which wouldn't really work very well anyway, or jusst sit back and moan and grumble. And plead to Nintendo, begging them for earlier release dates. Which is what I intend to do.
Why do we get worse names for pokemon towns, cities, etc. For example, Futaba Town. It is such a great name. Simple, but sophisticated. And it fits the fantasy style of pokemon better.
The Nintendo WFC servers are very slow at the moment. So, watch out, and it is not a glitch if you are stuck looking at different camera angles of your pokemon for ages, and never get to move.

"Why don't you check out the shop?" asked Anna friendlily.
"Why not" said Scar nervously.
"It's OK, the items are very cheap, we like to think of ourselves as the ONLY selling first-hand goods at second-hand prices!" said Anna in an obviusly well-rehearsed tone. It reminded Scar of the TV ads in Sinnoh, only they don't have very many clothes shops there.
Scar walked into the shop very reluctantly, as he wasn't a trend-setter, or even a trend follower. He knew that his flat cap had fallen out of fashion a while ago.
Scar, however, couldn't fail to be impressed. The sheer range of styles available. He grabbed a handful, and impatiently shoved his way to the changing rooms.
"Oi" some shouted, but Scar wasn't listening. He had to get to the changing rooms. He made it, and changed into some new garments. He wasn't used to the cool temperatures of Sinnoh. He was expecting it to be be humid, and he thought that bursts of rain would plummet down, but no, it was colder than Sinnoh, but he had experienced the sudden temperature changes, like how it had become sunny in his 5th match without Monferno using Sunny Day. However, there were no places with such extreme weather as Sinnoh. Blistering ice in Snowpoint City, the furious sandstorms that whip around near the Resort Area, the deep fog engulfing a secret part of Victory Road. He had also bought a bag, some shorts, and a large pokeball badge. Finally he had bought a few suprises for Mom after his trip...
POTW
This week... Rattata 
Rattata is a very annoying rat pokemon, which is coloured purple, for some reason. Anyway, Rattata has a VERY deadly trick, which can turn the game around. Well, help turn the game around.
Moveset
Item: Focus Sash/Focus Band
Ability: Guts
Quick Attack
Endeavour
Reversal
Counter
EVs:
252 Attack
252 Speed
This is a very good moveset for Rattata. You can use Endeavour to attack back after a foe's massive attack which would KO you leaves you with 1hp, thanks to your focus band/sash item. Then use the appropriate move (either Endeavour or Reversal, which will leave them 1hp as well, then Quick Attack for an almost guaranteed victory (over one pokemon). Also, a final note: Use Focus Sash if possible. Trust me, it's better.
