Dear Reader,
*Gatomon is nervously tapping his fingers on the desk* Sephy, Shampoo, and Skuld are still missing. The heroic foursome, HentaiGatomon, Purin, Cyber Kitty, and Zell, will have to make this one! We also have three new subscribers, some guy who wants to nuke Whalemon, our second sailor scout (Kaoss) (our first is Mimi who sometimes disguises herself as Venus), and an Ewok (aka Fabulous Techie #3).

Game Review: Pokémon Gold/Silver (for all Game Boy systems)
Review by Purin
Purin’s rating: *****
Pokémon Gold and Silver are, in a nutshell, upgrades from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. In Gold and Silver, you explore a new land, see new people, and most of all, capture new Pokémon. There are four major improvements in Gold and Silver. First off, you can have friendships with some trainers, and you can battle them again and get helpful advice. A new invention has appeared, and is the greatest thing since the Pokédex, the Pokégear. With it you can tell the time, call people, see your map, and listen to the radio. The most troublesome improvement is that there’s time and days. With time there’s night and day, and with that there are diurnal and nocturnal Pokémon, making it hard for you to catch them all on school days. Finally, the trainers have names! This makes the telephone option easier to use. Pokémon Gold and Silver (like all Pokémon games) is rated “E” for everyone.
Game Review: Hey You Pikachu! (for N64)
Review by Purin
Purin’s rating: **** 1/2
Hey You Pikachu! is basically a Pocket Pikachu on steroids.
BATTLE SQUARE NEO
Gatomon: Purin has arranged a four-way fight between Raichu, Lt. Surge’s Raichu, Dark Raichu, and Ash’s Pikachu!!! Who will win this Battle of the Chu?
Cyber Kitty: Raichu (lv 77) is one of Purin’s pokémon and is armed with punishing attacks that most of us wouldn’t think a Raichu would have. Dark Raichu (lv 80) is an odd Rocket hybrid of an electric and dark type. Lt. Surge’s Raichu (lv 60) is well known for being a gym pokémon that has lost many, many battles. Ash’s Pikachu (lv 81) is the same annoying pest that keeps young kids entranced... or thrown into seizures. In order to make this fight understandable, Purin has installed a translator system.
Purin: Jiggly, jiggly, jiggly!!!
Gatomon: *blinks* Whatever... FIGHT!
Dark Raichu: Thou shall feel my wrath, unsavory dogs!!! *summons thunder and zaps everyone*
Surge’s Raichu: *wearing sunglasses* Whatever, baby! *thunderbolts the competition*
Raichu: Next issue, the Cyber Kitty vs. Cyber fight will finally be over!!! Now, take this!!! *uses surf against everyone*
Pikachu: Ash! They’re hurting me!!! *shoots a thundershock at Dark Raichu, which is broken with a mega kick*
Dark Raichu: Thou hast insulted me, yellow vermin. Alas, for now you taste mine blade!!! *whips out Ragnarok and slashes Pikachu*
Cyber Kitty: Team Rocket went all out with this one... but who’s his trainer?
James: With this new pokémon, the boss’d have to invite me into his favor! *does a James laugh*
Jesse: James! We still have to capture that pikachu.
Meowth: Meowth, that’s right!
Dark Raichu: For sooth, my liege, I shall ensnare this mere rat for your trophy case in mere moments.
Ash: NO!!!
MewTwo: *picking up Ash* I’ve had enough of your idle chatter... *tosses him into the upper atmosphere*
Ash: Looks like Team Poké’s blasting off again!!! *ping*
Raichu: Raichus... let’s gang up on Pikachu!!!
Dark Raichu: *gets done pummeling Lt. Surge’s Raichu* Your proposition intrigues me... For what levy doest thou request in return for thine services?
Lt. Surge’s Raichu: Whoa baby... *faints from heavy damage*
Raichu: What?
Purin: What did Dark Raichu just say?
Gatomon: *looking through an old English/street talk dictionary* He said... Hey, g, what cash do ya want for your help in trashing that junk?
Purin: Oooohhhh...
Raichu: You supply the thunder stone...
Dark Raichu: For but a moment... *turns to James* Shall it be agreeable to translate that rat into a noble Raichu for your liege?
James: Okay...
Jesse: I guess so...
Dark Raichu: Prepare for thine finale as filth!!! *holds a thunder stone and rushes Pikachu*
Purin: Raichu! Thunderwave him!!!
Raichu: Powers of Clouds... Swarm and Paralyze!!! Thunderwave!!! *shoots electric bolts at Pikachu*
Pikachu: *is paralyzed* I don’t wanna be a raichu!!!
Dark Raichu: Alas, for thine night as vermin is finally lifted... *presses thunderstone against Pikachu, transforming him into a raichu*
Jesse: We’ve finally got him!
James: *grabs the ex-Pikachu and runs off towards Viridian City*
Gatomon: Seeing as how Raichu’s the only one left standing, he is the winner!!! *a girl dressed up as a raichu walks over and hands Raichu a pokéball shaped trophy* Heh, heh, heh...
Cyber Kitty: *sipping lemonade* Huh... I didn’t know that perversion could exceed Lv 100...
Gatomon: *jumping down into the arena* Hey, about you and me go get something to eat...
Raichu Girl: Get away from me, PERVERT!!! *uppercuts Gatomon into the sky*
Gatomon: *star pings*
Raichu: *fills up a bunch of balloons and lifts into the sky*
Cyber Kitty: Huh. I didn’t know Raichus could fly... This’s way too silly... I’m going to the lobby to get meself a snack.
MewTwo: Oh, that old joke again?

Webmaster Update
The ANL Shrine Site http://www.geocities.com/animefool is currently being constructed to give readers an overview of series and movies done in pages highlighting artwork and personalities. The Archive Site https://anlcrew13.tripod.com/main.html is up and running and Shampoo guarantees us that all the issues will be up by sometime within this century. If you missed an issue, or are a new subscriber, go there.
Pokémon Deck Design by Cyber Kitty
After playing this game, I have constructed a deck utilizing a ‘no weakness’ theme. Against either a fighting or psychic deck, one encounters the joy of receiving no damage. As an added touch of humility, energy removal comes into play, not from just the Dragonair, but also from those delightfully annoying cards.
“Adamant” Deck:
4x Rocket Dratini
3x Dragonair
4x Fossil Ghastly
2x Fossil Haunter
1x Gengar
1x Mr. Mime
4x Erika’s Dratini
3x Erika’s Dragonair
4x Gambler
4x Pokéball
4x Energy Removal
2x Super Energy Removal
4x Double Colorless Energy
20x Psychic Energy
Closing: At a snowy beach...
Gatomon: *wrapped up in a coat* I wonder when they’ll get back...
Cyber Kitty: *notices a raichu floating gently on the breeze* I wonder if I’ve had too much to drink..?
Purin: Jigglypuff!!!
Skuld: Ahoy there land lubbers!!! *is aboard a steam boat made entirely out of coconuts* Just when things were looking dim, Skuld, brightest genius this side of the Mississippi, came up with a good, no... *gets starry eyed* the BEST idea in the world!!! *starts laughing as though possessed by some odd alien force*
Sephy: *is looking rather green* I really, really HATE sea travel...
Shampoo: Hiya... Seanma no look so good... Want ramen?
Sephy: *looks grimly at Shampoo* NO. *turns his attention to Gatomon and Cyber Kitty* How did the issue go?
Gatomon: Here. *throws a copy up to Sephy*
Sephy: *his face turns a bright red* WH-HAT!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! *jumps down, RENZOKUKENs Purin and star pings him* A sentence review? NEVER!!! *fireballs Gatomon* ..and you lecherous kitten, start writing about CCGs that are popular!!! Cyber Kitty... lay off the booze, we all know that Raichus can’t fly. As to your deck strategy, I give it an A-.
Cyber Kitty: La la la... La-de-dee...
Sephy: *to Skuld* I’m worried about him... Shampoo, great work on the Archives. As to Zell... let’s see this supposed Oh My Goddess Shrine. I apologize for this issue and it will never happen like this again.
Chupon: GRAW.
Sephy: We would also like to mention that since the recent change of staff and with reader population on the rise, we will release another survey to see how the ANL supports your needs around the Shinto holiday of Shogatsu (Jan 1-3).
Chupon: GRAW.
Skuld: Maybe I should have left him on the island... I know!!! I’ll make him my pet!!! *puts a red ribbon on Chupon* Come on, now, Mr. Chupon!!!
Chupon: Graw...
*a note from Purin: (continued Hey You Pikachu! Review) Instead of shaking pikachu to get points to give to Pikachu to make him happy, you talk to him. This does have it’s drawbacks though. Saying things like “You’re sooooooooo cute!” makes him happy and saying “Electric XXX” ticks him off. If you really get on Pikachu’s bad side, you get a “shocking” surprise. Also you can go on missions and field trips with Pikachu, which builds your relationship, and after a few days you can grab things to take along with you and sell them for cash to buy stuff like balloons, candy, and trumpets. Hey you Pikachu! is mostly for little children and strange people who are heavily into Pokémon.*
