PPN is now turning to high levels. We finally added up the new layout and it looks real good. We have our new newsletter you are reading right now which will be our best yet. You will get ultimate news that you can't get almost anywhere. We all at PPN hope you enjoy this newsletter. We also hope you keep reading our newsletters.

Running in hi-res at 60fps (like the other Gamecube demos) Meowth's Party featured the talkative title hero dancing and singing the Japanese Pokemon opening song on stage while more and more Pokemon kept pouring in. Next to old favorites from the original Pokemon games, Gold/Silver creatures like Marill and Elekid were also among the party audience, jumping, screaming and dancing in full polygonal goodness. According to Nintendo, the development team behind this demo has simply taken the end sequences from the Pokemon anime show and turned it into an interactive 3D show.

While the demo wasn't graphically as impressive as some of the other Nintendo demos (mostly due to the simple design of its cartoony subjects and some minor framerate drops), it should be noted that the polygon models looked perfectly round and all animated independently and smoothly for the most part. Additionally, Gamecube effortlessly cranked out advanced lighting effects that doused the characters in ever-changing disco lights. To prove that the demo was running off the hardware, a Nintendo programmer controlled the camera with a wireless Wavebird controller.

Nintendo wouldn't comment on whether the demo was in fact indicative of work being done on a Pokemon game for Gamecube, or was simply used to show off its characters. However the demo was prepared by the Pokemon Stadium N64 team -- which raises the question, what exactly are these guys working on now that Pokemon Stadium Gold and Silver is virtually complete? To see the video clip, click here. To make it work, right click on the link, select "Save Target As...", then download it and watch it.

It has been confirmed now that this will stay just a demo. Nintendo has decided to not turn it into a game since the idea didn't do well. So enjoy this for what it is because it will remain a demo and only that. 

All we hope for now is that Pokemon Advance doesn't get cancelled and thats what all Pokemon Fans will be waiting for.

The next Pokémon expansion: Expedition! with 165 cards, Is set for a Sept 16th 2002 release here in the USA.
This is the first e-Reader release to be released outside of Japan for Pokémon. Each non-foil card has a special dot code that runs along the left side and the bottom of each card.  If you run these cards through the upcoming e-Reader that Nintendo is releasing for the Game Boy Advance then you will unlock all sorts of interesting information and games.

Along the left side of each card there are games, animations, sound effects, and even a coin flipper for your Game Boy Advance to be found. In order to unlock any of these functions though you will need to get certain sets of the cards (usually evolution chains) and together they will open up these functions on your Game Boy. Visit Wizards of the Coast for more details.

Some new features are like the weather which can change from sunny to rainy.

recent schedule change for DBZ has been disappointing for you.  We hope you
can understand  With the start of a new Fall season it is not uncommon for
television stations to move some programs to another day or time, introduce
new shows, temporarily remove programs, or cancel shows with expired
contracts.  It is important to remember that all schedules are subject to
change without notice. We hope you can respect that although we do strive to
keep all of our viewers happy, as a national network, it is quite a
difficult task.  What some viewers find entertaining, others may not,
therefore we make every effort to provide a varied schedule with programs
which will appeal to many different interests and tastes.



What about the Original DragonBall and other series?
Well, DragonBall is no longer part of our schedule because our contract for
those episodes has expired. Currently we do not have plans to air
'Dragonball GT', however, we are passing on all of your suggestions to our
Programming Department for  future consideration.


YTV airs DBZ in the format that we receive it from our distributors.  We do
NOT edit the program at YTV and therefore we do not control what gets taken

from those in other countries.

BUYING COPIES?!
Many of you have asked us for copies of 'Dragonball Z'.  We are glad to hear
that you enjoy the show so much that you would like your own copy, but at
present YTV does not provide copies of our programs.  We hope you can
understand that we simply do not have a service in place to accommodate such
requests.  Also, we feel it is important to note that we are generally only

heard that copies are available to buy through the official website at
