Gigantamax Pikachu is coming to ‘Pokémon Sword’ and ‘Shield’
We know that Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will feature a new mechanic called Gigantamaxing, which will turn certain creatures into giant forms and give them a special move. Today, Nintendo revealed the Gigantamax forms for some of the most popular Pokémon: Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, Meowth and Butterfree.
Kendra Bancroft/Madeleine Blaustein passes away
It is with some regret that we note the passing of a notable, veteran Second Life user, the vivacious and witty Kendra Bancroft, better known in some circles as popular children's television and video-game English voice actress, Madeleine Blaustein. Maddie joined Second Life in June 2004 and under the name Kendra Bancroft was a long time friend and compatriot of the well-known (if slightly infamous) Ulrika Zugzwang. She participated in Second Life politics, experimental democracy, protests, parties and virtual construction. Maddie also gave unique voice to a variety of well-known cartoon, anime and video-game characters, such as Pokemon's Meowth, and Sartorius from Yi-Gi-Oh GX. She was, however, perhaps most notable for her building, vivacious wit, and her loyalty to her friends. Maddie died in her sleep on 11 December, after a brief (but unspecified) illness at the age of 48.

Meowth is pretty much the best Pokemon ever
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo_wii/Meowth_is_pretty_much_the_best_Pokemon_ever'; With this morning's Smash Dojo announcement, we thought that today was as good a time as any to remind you about why Meowth is the awesomest Pokemon of all time (the anime character, not the species). Of the hundreds of reasons we could bring up to support this argument, we've picked out five for you to chew on: Meowth is one of the VERY few Pokemon who can converse with humans. Respect. Meowth actually taught himself to speak and walk upright, all so he could win the heart of a female who rejected him. He eventually got over her trifling ways and pursued other flames. Even though he grew up in Hollywood, Meowth has a Brooklyn accent. That's just how he rolls. Like Pikachu, Meowth doesn't bother with that Poke Ball mess. He has more dignity than that. Because of Meowth's intense determination to mimic human traits, he never learned a lot of battle moves, including his species' signature attack, Pay Day. Despite that, he still rocked Brock's Onix, acting as both trainer and Pokemon, throwing buckets of water on the boulder-ish creature. BONUS: Meowth cranks dat Soulja Boy. To further prove our point, we've embedded past the post break two clips from "Go West, Young Meowth," quite possibly the finest Pokemon episode in existence. There might be superior episodes that don't currently exist in our present dimension or timeline, but we haven't seen them yet.
Dojo update: Meowth returns [update 1]
Skipping making an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Meowth is returning in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As you might expect, his attack deals with showering the battlefield in precious, precious gold coins. For such a greedy little guy, it's somewhat odd that he'd choose to part with some of his fortune just to put the hurting on your enemies. But, at least he has the good greed to never part with that coin on his head. Are we happy to see him returning to the field of battle?Update: Turns out, there was another update at the dojo we overlooked. The controls for using the Wiimote are also explained.%Gallery-6869%%Gallery-3347% Read - Meowth Read - How to use the Wiimote
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of you folding paper!
Okay, here's where we admit to watching rather a lot of the Pokemon cartoon in college. It was a fun social thing to do after class, and somewhere along the way, our ironic enjoyment evolved into actual enjoyment. Then, right after the movie came out, our enjoyment devolved into complete disinterest.Looking at this Meowth hot-air-balloon papercraft makes us nostalgic for the days of rooting for incompetent homeless child Ash and his friends to capture and train all the Pokemans they could while avoiding Team Rocket's premeditated child abuse.
