I think we might've had enough fun with eating Shaymin or it getting eaten, so I retired "Where Typhlosion watches Floatzel eat Shaymin". The new slogan on both the main site and forum is:

Where Arceus's magical creatures live

This is a direct reference to the 12th movie, where (*SPOILERS*) the people of the past refer to Pokémon as "magical creatures", as the absence of the Poké Ball makes them not Pocket Monsters. (*END SPOILERS*) I will probably update the slogan after each movie receives a North American release.

I missed the show. I was too busy mentally slapping Sony Vegas upside the back of its head.

This slogan is fitting. I like it.

I wonder when it's on in the UK... I haven't seen any ads for it. Then again, I haven't been on CN/Disney XD for a while.

Magical creatures still seems strange to me--in the undubbed version, Bulbapedia says they called them 'majuu,' which rolls a bit better off the tongue in my opinion. But I'm sure the Almighty will be pleased by the slogan change nonetheless. And I especially like the opportunities created by the show in acknowledging that Pokémon were not always related to humans in the same way. There is a great deal of potential in exploring just how the phenomenon became commercialized (in their universe, of course).

But didnt people in the past make pokeballish creations with apricorns? I am absolutely sure kurt mentions that... O well, magical creatures are awesome. I still dont see why Potential spoiler that isnt really going to spoil anything if you read it but in case to just be warned, Highlight to see Arceus called them magical creatures

I think Kurt did say something about the use of hollowed-out apricorns in the older days, but likely such devices weren't mass-produced, and had to be made by skilled craftsmen, so it hadn't caught on amongst the general public.
