> MY POKEMON DIARY

[ 15/05/1999 ] - POKEMON BLUE!!!
I played POKEMON BLUE at my friend's house today!!! IT IS SOOO GOOD!!! I got to walk around and catch Pokemon and fight people and everything. HE HAD a squirtle and it knows bubble. I really really want Pokemon Blue for myself now. I asked my friend if I could borrow it for one night and he said maybe.

[ 13/05/1999 ] - MY SUPER NINTENDO GAMES!!!
I really wanted to play Pokemon Blue again so I made a deal with my friend. I let him borrow ALL my Super Nintendo games so I could borrow his Pokemon game for one night. He said OK!!! I was so excited because I finally got to play Pokemon at home. I played until I got to MOUNT MOON and I just caught a GEODUDE and zubat!!! tHey looks really cool. I can't wait to play more tomorrow!!!

[ 12/05/1999 ] - HE TOOK IT BACK!!!
My friend took Pokemon Blue back this morning!!! I only got to have it for ONE NIGHT!!! He said his mum told him to bring it home. :-( I gave him all his stuff back and now I don't have Pokemon again. I really really need to get my own Game Boy Pokemon game. Maybe Mum will buy me one if I keep asking LOL.

[ 10/05/1999 ] - I NEED POKEMON BLUE!!!
I can't stop thinking about Pokemon Blue now. My friend gets to play it whenever he wants and I don't even have a Pokemon game!!! I asked my brother if we could get one and he said they are expensive. I told him I could use my own money but I don't have enough yet. I am going to save up because I REALLY WANT IT!!!

[ 08/05/1999 ] - POKEMON COSTS $50!!!
I saw Pokemon Blue at the shop today and it costs $50!!! THAT IS SO MUCH MONEY!!! How am I supposed to save up $50??? I don't even have that much. I think I might have to save all my pocket money and not buy anything for ages. Maybe I can ask Mum if it can be an EARLY BIRTHDAY AND CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!! That way I don't have to get anything else for my birthday or Christmas. I really really want Pokemon though. :-)

[ 06/05/1999 ] - I HAVE $20!!!
I counted all my money today and I have $20!!! I thought I had less than that. I am halfway to getting Pokemon Blue!!! I really want to save it and not spend any but it is hard when I see Pokemon stuff at the shops. I am going to try really hard not to buy anything.

[ 04/05/1999 ] - MY PLAN TO GET $30
I worked out that if I don't buy lunch for the next few days I can save some more money. I already have $20 so maybe I can get up to $30!!! Then I will only be $20 away from Pokemon Blue. I could just eat something when I get home from school LOL. I told my friend about my plan and he said I will be starving. MAYBE HE IS RIGHT.

[ 02/05/1999 ] - DON'T SPEND THE MONEY!!!
I nearly spent some of my Pokemon money today because I saw some toys I wanted. I had to walk away because I REALLY want Pokemon Blue. My friend said I should just buy the toys and save for the game later but he already has Pokemon so he doesn't understand!!! I am keeping my $20 safe. NO SPENDING!!!

[ 30/04/1999 ] - $50 IS A LOT!!!
I keep thinking about Pokemon Blue and how much it costs. $50 is so much money!!! I counted my coins and everything again. I think if I save my pocket money and maybe don't buy lunch for a few days I can get closer. Mum might also give me some money if I help around the house. I am going to get this game somehow!!!

[ 28/04/1999 ] - MY BIG SISTER SAVED ME!!!
I told my big sister about Pokemon Blue and how it is the BEST THING EVER and I really really want it. I told her I won't ask for anything else ever again if I can just get Pokemon Blue. I even promised I won't ask for any more Pokemon cards!!! She laughed and then she gave me the $20 I needed!!! YAYYYYY!!! NOW I HAVE $40!!! I only need another $10 and I can get Pokemon Blue!!!

[ 27/04/1999 ] - SO CLOSE!!!
I counted my money again and I have $40 now!!! I only need $10 more for Pokemon Blue. I am NOT spending any of it. I keep looking at the money to make sure it is still there LOL. I think I can get the last $10 soon. I am so close I can almost play Pokemon whenever I want!!!

[ 25/04/1999 ] - I CAN GET POKEMON!!!
I only need $10 more!!! I have been saving for ages and now I am really close. I told my friend that I am going to get Pokemon Blue soon and he said I can come over and play his until I get mine. I told him NO because I want to play my OWN game!!! I am going to save every dollar now. :-)

[ 23/04/1999 ] - I HAVE $50!!!
I convinced Mum to give me the last $10!!! NOW I HAVE $50!!! I told her how I have been saving and saving and how I really really want Pokemon Blue. She finally said OK!!! We are going to go to the shop and BUY IT!!! I am so excited I can't wait. I think I am going to look at the box for about 10 minutes before we even leave the shop LOL.

[ 22/04/1999 ] - NOOOOO THE PIPE BURST!!!
We were supposed to go and buy Pokemon Blue today but the PIPE BURST at home!!! Mum said we have to wait for the plumber to come and fix it first. NOOOOOOOOO!!! I have the money ready and everything!!! I keep looking at my $50 and thinking about Pokemon Blue. Hopefully the plumber comes soon because I REALLY WANT MY GAME!!!

[ 20/04/1999 ] - I FINALLY GOT POKEMON!!!
I FINALLY HAVE MY OWN POKEMON GAME!!! I got POKEMON RED!!! YAYYYYY!!! I thought I was going to get Blue but Mum said Red was there so I got that one instead. I don't care because I finally have my own game!!! My friend has POKEMON BLUE so maybe we can trade Pokemon later. I'm going to pick Charmander and train to be CHARIZARD!!!! I am going to play it as soon as I get home!!!

[ 18/04/1999 ] - OMG WHAT IS POKEMON CARDS?!
I went over to my friend's house today and he had some POKEMON CARDS!!! I didn't even know Pokemon had cards!!! They look SO COOL!!! I was looking through them and I really liked the DEWGONG and BEEDRILL cards. I don't even understand what the attacks do yet. I kept asking my friend what all the numbers mean LOL. I asked him if I could have one of his Kakuna card but he said NO. :-( He said they are all his cards and I can't have any. I really want some now!!!

[ 16/04/1999 ] - POKEMON CARDS AT GAME MANIA!!!
I went to GAME MANIA today and they are selling Pokemon cards!!! They have a BASE SET STARTER DECK for $16!!! I really really want it now because my friend's cards are SO COOL. But $16 is a lot of money and I don't think Mum will let me buy it. Maybe if I ask nicely she might say yes HEHEHE

[ 14/04/1999 ] - MY BIRTHDAY!!!
It was my birthday today!!! The kid who lives down the road asked me what I wanted and I said POKEMON CARDS!!! He came over later with some Pokemon cards and I got really excited because I thought he was giving them to me. Then he told me they were actually HIS cards and he just brought them over to show me. LOL!!! He did buy me a POKEMON POSTER though so that was really cool. It has all 151 pokemon on it with the names. I put it up in my room straight away. I still really want some Pokemon cards of my own!!!

[ 12/04/1999 ] - MY FIRST POKEMON CARDS!!!
A really nice kid at school brought some Pokemon cards today!!! I told him "I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND IF YOU GIVE ME SOME CARDS!!!" LOL. He gave me a MACHOP and a PONYTA!!! I was SO HAPPY!!! They are my first Pokemon cards and I kept looking at them all day. I put them in my pocket and kept checking they were still there. BEST DAY EVER!!! :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON ON THE INTERNET!!!
One of my older friends took me to the PARK LIBRARY today to use the internet!!! We looked up heaps of Pokemon pictures and found some Pokemon cheats too!!! There were so many Pokemon pictures on the computer that I had never seen before. We found pictures of CHARIZARD, MEWTWO and MEW and I wanted to print some of them out and take them home. But you have to pay money to print things at the library. :-( I didn't bring any money with me today. Maybe next time I will bring some money so I can print some Pokemon pictures!!!

[ 20/06/1999 ] - SIX CHARIZARDS... SURE...
I showed my new cards to my friend and he said his cards are still better because he has SIX CHARIZARDS. I asked him where they are and he said they're at home. OF COURSE THEY ARE!!! I told him he has been saying that for weeks and he said he will bring them tomorrow. I don't believe him anymore LOL.

[ 07/06/1999 ] - MY FIRST POKEMON DECK!!!
I finished school today and my brother asked if I wanted to go to the shops with him because he wanted to buy some CDs. We went to BIG W and I saw the Pokemon Starter Deck behind the counter!!! I didn't even know they sold them there. My brother asked me if I wanted it and I said YES!!! straight away. He actually bought it for me!!! The deck has a HOLO MACHAMP in it and it looks SO NICE!!! I kept looking at the shiny card because it looks way better than my other cards. I was so happy!!! Now I finally have my own Pokemon deck!!! :-)

[ 23/05/1999 ] - K-ZONE MAGAZINE!!!
I bought K-Zone magazine today!!! It came with a Pokemon card inside and I think it is a FOSSIL CARD because it has KABUTO on it!!! I don't have very many Pokemon cards so I was really happy. I don't know if Kabuto is good or not but it looks pretty cool. I showed my friend and he said he already has one. OF COURSE HE DOES LOL.

[ 21/05/1999 ] - POKEMON CD!!!
My friend bought the Pokemon CD album today!!! We listened to it at his house and 2B A MASTER is really good. Alot of the song at the end of the anime is on there and its the full version! His brother was writing the lyric to the song out. i dont know why LOL I asked him if I could borrow the CD but he said NO because his mum bought it for him. :-( I said I would give it back tomorrow but he still said no. I think he doesn't trust me LOL.

[ 27/05/1999 ] - DRAGON BALL Z CARDS?!
My friend said his brother doesn't like Pokemon because it is for little kids. I told him he is just jealous because he doesn't have any Pokemon cards. He said he has Dragon Ball Z cards instead. I said WHO CARES!!!

[ 29/05/1999 ] - MORNING GLORY POKEMON!!!
Went to MORNING GLORY today and they had Pokemon cards I have NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!! They were all shiny and holo and they were in Japanese or Chinese!!! I didn't even know there were Pokemon cards like that. They looked really cool but I couldn't read anything on them. I wanted to buy them but they were too expensive. I bought a lollipop instead. Maybe I will get card one day. :-)

[ 01/06/1999 ] - POJO MAGAZINE!!!
Went to the NEWSAGENCY today and I bought a Pokemon magazine. I think it's called POJO or something??? It has heaps of pictures of Pokemon cards and some of them are in Japanese. There are SO MANY CARDS I have never seen before!!! I don't know what most of them say but they look really cool. I showed Mum one of the pages with all the Pokemon toys and she said "don't you already have enough Pokemon stuff?" NO!!!

[ ??/??/99 ] - MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAY!!!
It was my friends birthday today!!! I went over to his house and his family had cake and everything. It was really good and we played games for a while. Later I took him to the deli and bought him an ice cream and some lollies for his birthday. He was really happy and said thank you. I think he had a really good birthday!!!

[ 03/06/1999 ] - EVERYONE WANTS MY POJO
I brought my POJO magazine to school and everyone wanted to look at it. There are pictures of all these cards that I don't have. I really want some of the JAPANESE ONE!!! My friend said he has all of them already. I asked him to show me and he said they are at home. HE ALWAYS SAYS THAT!!!

[ 18/06/1999 ] - I WANT A JAPANESE CARD
I really want one of the shiny Japanese Pokemon cards from Morning Glory. They look WAY cooler than the normal cards because they shine when you move them around. I don't know what half the Japanese writing says but WHO CARES!!! They look so cool.

[ 05/06/1999 ] - JAPANESE CARD EXPENSIVE
We were talking about the Japanese cards again today. Someone said the Japanese ones are worth heaps of money. I don't know if that's true but I want one anyway because they look awesome.

[ 06/06/1999 ] - THEY WERE STICKERS LOL!!!
Remember those really shiny Japanese Pokemon cards at Morning Glory??? Well one of the kids at school bought some today and WE FOUND OUT THEY ARE STICKERS!!!! LOLLLLLLL!!! He thought they were real Japanese cards. He was showing everyone and then someone peeled one off and it was a STICKER!!! He got really angry and said they were still cool cards. HAHAHAHA.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SWIMMING AT THE PARKS
Our school went swimming at THE PARKS today. We had to walk there and it was REALLY COLD!!! I didn't want to get in the water because I was already freezing. We had to swim anyway. After swimming I was REALLY HUNGRY because I didn't eat much before we left. We walked back to school and I was still cold. It was a pretty boring day.

[ ??/??/99 ] - I GOT RIPPED OFF!!!
I traded FIFA, Golf and Cricket on my Nintendo today for HOME ALONE because I thought it would be a really good game and like the movie. My friend said it was terrible and I think he is right!!! I played it when I got home and it wasnt very fun at all. Now I traded 3 games for 1 game that is even worse!!! I dont want to tell Mum because she will be mad at me. I think I made a really bad trade LOL. I wish I still had Cricket now.

[ 08/06/1999 ] - BABY SHOWS
We watched Pokemon at my friend's house again. His brother walked past and said "you guys are still watching kid shows???" Then he put Dragon Ball Z on in the other room. We could hear him yelling when Goku was fighting somebody. We stayed in the lounge watching Pokemon anyway. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - ODDBODZ CARDS?!
My friend showed me some ODDBODZ CARDS today. They look really disgusting!!! He thinks they are really cool but I don't really care about them. They have all these weird pictures on them and some of them look like they are sick or something LOL. I told him I would rather have Pokemon cards.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SUNDAY MARKET!!!
Mum took me to the SUNDAY MARKET today but we had to go really early!!! I don't know why we had to go so early but I was still tired. Mum bought some fruit and vegetables and she said I could pick out a toy hehe. I looked at some toys and I ended up getting a MAGNIFYING GLASS!!! I don't know why I wanted one but I think it is really cool. Maybe I can use it to look at bugs!!! HMMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - NO SCHOOL!!! HEHE
It was raining really hard today and my sister said I could stay home from school!!! HEHE. She said I didn't have to go because it was raining and I think maybe she didn't want to walk in the rain either LOL. She told me not to tell Mum though. I stayed home and watched TV and played POKEMON RED for most of the day. It was actually a really good day. I hope it rains again tomorrow!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - DRAWING POKEMON
I walked home with my friend and one of his big brother's friends today. We went back to his house but he didn't have the key!!! So we had to sit outside and wait for his big brother to come home. We were bored so we started drawing Pokemon pictures while we waited. I drew a CHARIZARD and my friend drew a BLASTOISE. His big brother's friend said my Charizard looked funny but I think it looked good LOL. Then his big brother finally came home and let us inside.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - KILLER INSTINCT!!!
I went over to my older friends house today and we played on his SUPER NINTENDO!!! We were playing KILLER INSTINCT. We borrowed it from his next door neighbor. His name is TOM but my friend keeps calling him TOM THE TURTLE for some reason LOL. So I call him Turtle too now!!! We played Killer Instinct for ages. It is really fun!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - ULTRA COMBO!!!
My older friend showed me all these combos on KILLER INSTINCT!!! He was playing as CINDER and did an ULTRA COMBO!!! WHOA!!! I don't know how he did all those moves so fast!!! I want to learn how to do the combos too!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - TOM THE TURTLE!!!
My friend went over to Turtle's house to return KILLER INSTINCT and I went along. For some reason Tom was always on his bike LOL. We went to the park and played for a bit. Later Tom asked us if we wanted to come to his house and he showed us NINJA TURTLES on the Nintendo!!! I played for a bit but it was too hard. I couldn't get very far LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MY OLDER FRIEND IS GETTING A PLAYSTATION!!!
My older friend said he is getting a PLAYSTATION soon!!! I don't know how he can afford it because it is SO EXPENSIVE!!! He said he might sell some of his SUPER NINTENDO games to buy it. I wonder if he will sell some games to me for cheap heheh!!!

[ 25/05/1999 ] - DOES HE REALLY HAVE SIX?!
I asked my friend if he really has six Charizards again. He said YES and that one of them is the "super rare one". I asked if I could see it and he said maybe tomorrow. I think the six Charizards are probably living in another country by now because nobody has ever seen them. LOL!!!

[ 12/06/1999 ] - NOBODY HAS CHARIZARD
At lunch today everyone was talking about who has the best Pokemon card. One kid said he has a Charizard but wouldn't show anyone. I said my friend has SIX and he still hasn't shown us either. Maybe nobody actually has Charizard LOL!!!

[ 15/06/1999 ] - I NEED MORE BOOSTER PACKS
I asked my brother if I could get another Pokemon booster pack and he said "i just got you one". I told him that was last week. He said that doesn't matter. :-( I think adults don't understand that you need to keep buying packs or you will never get all the Pokemon.

[ 23/06/1999 ] - HIDING MY CARDS
Everyone is hiding their Pokemon cards at school now because people are scared they will get stolen. I put mine inside my pencil case when the teacher comes past. LOL. I hope they don't ban them because trading at lunch is one of the best things at school!!!

[ 05/06/1999 ] - I DID SOMETHING REALLY BAD...
I did something really bad today. A kid brought his Pokemon cards to school and me and my friend took some of them. I didn't really want to do it but I got PRESSURE into it and I did it anyway. I ended up taking a HOLOGRAPHIC POLIWRATH and a HOLOGRAPHIC NINETALES. They look really nice but I don't even feel happy about having them. I keep thinking about the kid looking for his cards and being sad. I really hope the teacher doesn't find out because I will be in BIG trouble. I probably shouldn't have done it. :-(. I hope my mum doesnt find out or i will get smacked

[ 04/06/1999 ] - I HAVE TO GIVE THEM BACK
I keep thinking about the cards I took yesterday and I feel really bad about it. I don't even want them anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to give the HOLO POLIWRATH and HOLO NINETALES back. I'm going to tell the kid I found them on the ground and give it to him. I know I should have just left them alone in the first place. I really hope he doesn't get angry or tell the teacher on me. :-(

[ 25/06/1999 ] - PLEASE DON'T BAN POKEMON!!!
ANOTHER KID GOT HIS POKEMON CARD STOLEN AT SCHOOL!!! This is getting really bad. The teacher said if people keep stealing cards they might BAN POKEMON CARDS FROM SCHOOL. NOOOOOOOOO!!! I hope they don't!!! We aren't allowed to bring toys to school anyway so if they ban Pokemon cards there will be nothing fun to do at lunch. :-(

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SOMEONE GOT HIS CARD STOLEN
I saw a kid get his Pokemon card stolen today. Some of the bigger kids were looking through his cards and one of them put one of the holograph cards behind his hand so the kid couldn't see it. I think he was trying to steal it!!! I didn't say anything because I didn't want them to get angry at me. I am going to be really careful with my cards now. I don't want anyone taking my my other good cards.

[ 27/06/1999 ] - DRAGONAIR!!!
I didn't buy lunch today so I had some extra money left over. I decided to use it to buy a Pokemon booster pack instead!!! Mum probably won't be happy when she finds out I spent my lunch money on cards LOL. I opened it at the shop and I GOT A DRAGONAIR!!! I was really happy because I like Dragonair.

[ 28/06/1999 ] - WAS THIS A BAD TRADE?!
There was another kid at the shop and he wanted to trade cards with me. He gave me a LASS TRAINER and a CHARMELEON for my Dragonair. I said OK but now I'm not sure if I made a good trade. :-/ I asked my brother and he said maybe it was OK. I keep looking at the cards thinking maybe I got ripped off LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SUNDAY MARKET!!!
Mum took me to the SUNDAY MARKET today but we had to go really early!!! I don't know why we had to go so early but I was still tired. Mum bought some fruit and vegetables and she said I could pick out a toy hehe. I looked at some toys and I ended up getting a MAGNIFYING GLASS!!! I don't know why I wanted one but I think it is really cool. Maybe I can use it to look at bugs!!! HMMMM.

[ 02/07/1999 ] - HE TRADED ONE OF THE SIX
My friend said he traded one of his 6 Charizards today. I asked him which one and he said the "really rare one". I asked if I could see the other five and he said he forgot them at home. I DON'T THINK THESE CHARIZARDS EXIST ANYMORE LOL!!!

[ 05/07/1999 ] - MORE POKEMON CARDS PLEASE
I asked my brother AGAIN if we can get more Pokemon cards. He said "maybe next time". Then I asked when next time is and he said he doesn't know. So basically NO.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - WE LOST MUM!!!
We went to BRICKWORKS with one of Mum's friends today. Her son came with us too and he is a bit older than me. We were walking around and then we LOST MUM!!! I started crying because I didn't know where she went. He told me not to cry because we will find her. We found Mum later!!! I was really happy. Mum said I could go on one of those little rides where you put money in!!! It was really fun. :-)

[ 08/07/1999 ] - ALMOST LATE FOR SCHOOL
I was playing Pokemon before school and nearly forgot to go because I wanted to finish what I was doing. Mum yelled "YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!!!" so I had to turn it off. I saved my game really quickly and ran outside.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON POWER!!!
A kid brought a POKEMON POWER magazine to school today!!! It was SO COOL!!! It had a Pokemon comic in it and it showed you how to get through MOUNT MOON!!! I only got to look at it for a little bit because he had to go somewhere and took it back. :-( I wish I could have looked at it for longer because there were heaps of pictures of Pokemon and stuff. On the back there was a BIG picture of ALL 150 POKEMON!!! I really really want this magazine now. I am going to look for it next time we go to the shops. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - CIVIC VIDEO!!!
My brother took me to CIVIC VIDEO today to rent a game. It was dark outside and we had to walk there. On the way my brother kept teasing me and said he forgot his card and maybe we wouldn't be able to rent anything!!! >:-( I was getting worried because we walked all the way there!!! When we got there he had his card after all LOL!!! He let me pick out a game and I rented a KIRBY game!!! It was really fun. :-)

[ 11/07/1999 ] - TANDY SAVED ME!!!
My Game Boy battery died AGAIN during Pokemon! My uncle bought me one of those power adapter things from TANDY for my Game Boy! Now I don't need batteries all the time. YAY!!! I plugged it in and it works. I can play Pokemon for ages now!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - IT GOT DARK!!!
I went to my friends house to play today and it got DARK REALLY QUICK!!! I was getting scared because I had to walk home by myself. His brother said he would walk me home so I went with him. He only walked me HALFWAY and then told me I had to walk the rest of the way myself!!! >:-( I was scared so I RAN HOME!!! LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SOME KIDS WERE MEAN!!!
Me and my friend were walking around the block today and talking when some other kids started being mean to us and calling us names. We didn't like it so we went home and told his brother!!! His brother asked us who the kids were and we showed him. He went to talk to them and they said SORRY!!! HEHE. They didn't bother us anymore.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - TEACHER TOOK MY BOOMERANG!!!
I bought a BOOMERANG toy from the $2 store and brought it to school today. Me and my friends were playing with it at recess and throwing it around. The teacher saw us and she TOOK IT AWAY!!! She said we weren't allowed to play with it. I don't know why because it is only a toy!!! >:-( I hope she gives it back tomorrow.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - THE BOOMERANG IS STUCK!!!
Me and my friend got the BOOMERANG back after school today so we played with it again. He threw it and it went really high and landed on the SHED ROOF!!! Now it is stuck up there and we can't get it down. :-( I am not happy because it is my boomerang!!! HMMMM maybe we can get it tomorrow.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I SAW PIZZA!!!
Today nothing really happened. We had to drive to Mum's friend house to drop something off. I was sitting in the car and I saw the girl in the house pick up a PIZZA!!! It looked SO GOOD!!! I wanted some but we had to go home. HMMMM maybe we should have got pizza too. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MY BROTHER MOVED OUT!!!
My brother moved out of home today. I miss playing with him already. He said he will come visit me and promised he will take me to buy POKEMON CARDS!!! HMMMM I hope he does!!! Now I have to sleep alone in my room. I don't really like it because it feels weird without my brother here. :-(

[ 14/07/1999 ] - MY HITMONCHAN THEME DECK!!!
My big sister said we could go to ARNDALE today to buy Pokemon cards!!! I was really happy because I have been asking for ages. We went to the shops and I looked at all the pokemon toys for about 20 minutes. I wanted to buy EVERYTHING. :-( I ended up getting the Hitmonchan Deck!!! It has Hitmonchan HOLOGRAPHIC card and is very cool!!

[ 16/07/1999 ] - SIX CHARIZARDS AT SCHOOL
I took my Hitmonchan deck to school to show my friends. Everyone wanted to look at it but I didn't let them touch the cards because I don't want them getting bent. One kid said he has a much better deck. He says he has 6 Charizards. YES, HIM AGAIN!!! I asked him to show me and he said they are at home again. LOLLLLL.

[ 18/07/1999 ] - I SAW POKEMON STADIUM!!!
I saw a video of POKEMON STADIUM ON VIDEO HITS today and IT LOOKS AMAZING!!! The Pokemon actually fight on the TV and everything!!! Charizard looked SO COOL!!! I really really want an N64 now. I told my brother we need one and he said "yeah right" LOL. I'm going to keep asking hehe..

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON CHEAT CODES!!!
Me and my friend were in the LIBRARY today using the computer and we found some Pokemon cheat codes!!! We found one that said you can get 99 MASTER BALLS and another one that gives you 99 RARE CANDY!!! I don't know if they really work but we wrote them down anyway. We are going to try them when we get home!!! If it works we will have SO MANY MASTER BALLS LOL!!! We are not telling everyone about it yet because it is our secret. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON MAGAZINES!!!
I went to the NEWSAGENCY with Mum today because I wanted to find the POKEMON POWER magazine!!! I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it. :-( I really really wanted it. I couldn't find Pokemon Power anywhere so Mum let me get another K-ZONE magazine instead. It had some Pokemon in it so I was still happy. Maybe I can find Pokemon Power next time!!!

[ 20/07/1999 ] - STADIUM AT SCHOOL
At school everyone was talking about Pokemon Stadium again. One kid said you can put your Pokemon from the Game Boy into the N64 game. I don't know if that's true but I hope it is!!! Imagine putting my Charizard on the big TV!!! :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON YELLOW!!!
One of the kids at daycare got a GAME BOY COLOR with POKEMON YELLOW today!!! It looks really cool because Pikachu follows you around!!! I asked if I could play it but he said NO. I just watched him play for a little bit instead. I really want a Game Boy Color now. Pokemon Yellow looks way better than Pokemon Red because Pikachu can follow you!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - EVERYTHING $2 SHOP!!!
I went shopping with Mum today and we went to the EVERYTHING $2 SHOP!!! Mum said I could pick one toy. I found these little wrestling men that you tie together and they wrestle each other. I bought them and showed my friend when I saw him. We tried making them wrestle but it look stupid we then found out it was more fun to throw them up onto the ceiling!!! We kept doing it to see which one would stay up there the longest. LOL.

[ ??/??/99 ] - NINTENDO MAGAZINE!!!
My Uncle took me to Port Adelaide today. We went into the shops and I saw a NINTENDO MAGAZINE!!! It had Yoshi on it. I asked my Uncle if I could get it and he said yes so he bought it for me. It had heaps of Nintendo stuff in it and I read it in the car. Later my Uncle took me fishing but I didnt catch any fish. He caught one tho LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - CAN I BORROW YOUR POKEMON POWER???
I saw the kid with the Pokemon Power magazine at school today and I asked him if I could borrow it for a little while. I really want to copy some of the Pokemon pictures from it because they look really cool. He didn't really want to let me borrow it so next time i think I will tell him I would draw him a NIDOKING if he let me have it!!! I hope he says yes because I really want to look at the pictures again. I only got to look at it for a little bit last time.

[ 22/07/1999 ] - POKEMON ON TV?!
I saw something about Pokemon on TV tonight. It was on 60 minutes and they were saying Pokemon is bad and that kids are going crazy over it. Why do adults always complain about everything???

[ ??/??/1999 ] - PARENT TEACHER NIGHT!!!
We had PARENT TEACHER NIGHT tonight and my teacher told Mum that I have been really distracted in class lately. She said I am always thinking about other things and not paying attention properly. I think she is talking about Pokemon!!! Mum wasn't very happy and she told me I need to concentrate more at school. I hope she doesn't ban me from playing my GAME BOY or stop me from getting Pokemon cards!!! That would be REALLY BAD. I am going to try and pay more attention tomorrow.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - BORING DAY
Nothing really happened today. I went to school and came home. I watched some TV and played Pokemon for a little while. I didn't catch anything new. Mum made dinner and then I had a shower. I am going to bed now. BYE!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SCHOOL PLAYGROUND AFTER SCHOOL!!!
My sister took me and my friend to the school playground after school today. She was talking on the phone and me and my friend ran around and played on the playground. It was really fun but it felt WEIRD being at school when there was hardly anyone there. There were no other kids playing and it was really quiet. HMMMM. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MUM'S FRIEND CAME OVER
Mum's friend came over today and she brought her kid with her. He is a little weird and I don't really know what to say to him. Mum told me I have to let him play in my room with me. I showed him some of my Pokemon stuff and he wanted to touch everything!!! I told him to be careful because I don't want my cards getting bent. He kept asking to play my Game Boy but i told him it was broken hehe. I hope Mum's friend doesn't come over again tomorrow LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - LATE NIGHT SHOPPING!!!
Mum took us to ARNDALE for late night shopping tonight. There were heaps of people there and all the shops were still open. I was looking at the Pokemon stuff when I saw my friend from school!!! I didn't know he would be there. We talked about Pokemon for a little bit and he told me he got some more cards. OF COURSE HE DID LOL. Then Mum said we had to keep shopping. I asked Mum if I could buy some Pokemon cards but she said NO!!! I was looking at all the Pokemon stuff at EB GAMES and then I saw they had a free magazine so I got one instead. It had heaps of pictures of games in it and some Pokemon stuff too. It isn't as good as getting cards but at least I got something. Mum said maybe another time.

[ 24/07/1999 ] - MAYBE MEANS NO
I asked my brother if we can go and get MORE Pokemon cards tomorrow. He said "maybe". I HATE when people say maybe because it usually means NO. I asked him again later and he said "we'll see". I think if I keep asking he might say yes. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - ALL THE COMPUTERS ARE TAKEN!!!
I wanted to use the computer in the LIBRARY at lunch today but you have to get there early because everyone wants to use them. I was really hungry so I went to the CANTEEN to buy some snacks first. When I got to the library it was too late and ALL THE COMPUTERS WERE TAKEN!!! >:-( I should have gone to the library first. HMMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MY OLDER FRIEND GOT A PLAYSTATION!!!
My older friend got the PLAYSTATION!!! He kept on saying how he spent ALL his money and he only had $1 change left. I don't know why he kept saying that LOL. He bought FINAL FANTASY 7 as well!!! He told me it is REALLY GOOD and I should come over and watch him play. I will ask mum later if I can go since it is school holidays!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - FINAL FANTASY 7!!!
I went over to my older friend's house today and the PLAYSTATION was in his room!!! He has a bunk bed because I think he shares the room with his brother or sister but I don't know. His blanket is a sleeping bag HMMM.... He showed me FINAL FANTASY 7 and the really cool summons he can do!!! They are REALLY COOL!!! CLOUD is so cool too. Maybe I will use him now heheh!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - DRAWING CLOUD!!!
At school today I was drawing pictures of CLOUD holding his big sword!!! I told my friend about FINAL FANTASY 7 and how cool it is. My friend said he already CLOCKED IT!!! I asked him what happens but he said he can't tell me!!! HMMM. Just like his SIX CHARIZARD!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - GOLD SAUCER!!!
I went over to my older friend's house and he showed me more of FINAL FANTASY 7!!! We went to the GOLD SAUCER and played some of the mini games. My older friend said he was taking a break from the game so we could go play the snowboarding game and some other stuff!!! It was really fun!!! I like the Gold Saucer because there is lots of cool things to do heheh.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MY FRIEND IS COMING OVER!!!
My older friend is coming over today!!! He said I can come shopping with him because he is going to BURN A PLAYSTATION GAME. I don't know what that means HMMMM. Maybe you can burn games somehow??? Anyway he said we can go look at the games so I want to go with him!!! I waited outside for him to come because I can usually see him coming from far away. I hope he comes soon!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SHOPPING WITH MY FRIEND!!!
We went shopping today and my friend bought a new PC GAME!!! It is a RPG pack with lots of games on it. He said next time I come over I can play it!!! I don't know what games are on it yet but it looks really cool. Mum also gave me some money so I could buy something. I bought a NINTENDO MAGAZINE and LINK was on the cover!!! I really like Link so I wanted it. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MARIO VS PIKACHU!!!
I looked through my new NINTENDO MAGAZINE in the lounge room today. Mum asked me what I bought and I showed her. She didn't really look interested LOL. In the magazine I saw a new game coming out where you can FIGHT MARIO AND PIKACHU!!! It looks SO COOL!!! I really want a N64 now LOL. Maybe I can ask my brother about the N64. HMMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I WANT TO SEE THE PC GAME!!!
I asked my older friend if I can come over to his house later and he said YES!!! I asked Mum to drive me but she said she had to do some stuff first so I went along with her. It was so boring!!! She was filling out some forms and I had to wait around. I don't know why grown ups have to fill out so many forms LOL. I hope my friend lets me see the new PC GAME later!!! HMMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - THE NEW PC GAME IS BORING!!!
My friend showed me his new PC RPG GAME today!!! I thought it was going to be really cool because he said it was a RPG game with lots of games on it. But it looks BORING LOL!!! The graphics aren't even that good!!! I asked him about it and he said he thinks it is boring too!!! We thought it was going to be a cool game like FINAL FANTASY or BREATH OF FIRE but it isn't. HMMMM I don't know why he bought it LOL.

[ 26/07/1999 ] - POKEMON STADIUM RUMOURS
Someone at school said Pokemon Stadium is going to have ALL the Pokemon in it. I really hope this is true because that would be SO COOL!!! I want to see Charizard fighting on the big TV!!!

[ 28/07/1999 ] - EB GAMES
I went into EB Games after school to look at Pokemon stuff but they kicked me out because mum wasnt there. I was just looking!!! They said I had to have an adult with me. I dont know why because I wasn't going to steal anything. I really wanted to look at the Pokemon games.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - PRINTING CHARIZARD!!!
I was in the SCHOOL LIBRARY today and I found a really cool picture of CHARIZARD on the computer!!! I tried to print it out because I wanted to take it home and put it in my room. But the librarian saw me and told me off!!! She said I am not allowed to print things unless the teacher says I can. I told her it was a Charizard picture but she still said NO. :-( I didn't even get to print it!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - REALLY RARE POKEMON!!!
My friend saw me looking at pokemon pictures and he said his older cousin has some pictures of really rare Pokemon that nobody has seen before!!! I asked if I could see them but he said NO. He said they are too rare and he can't show anyone. HMMMMMMMM. Just like his Charizards that he never brings to school. LOL!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - HE IS PLAYING THE BORING GAME AGAIN!!!
I went back to my friends house today because Mum had to give something to his mum. I saw him playing the BORING RPG GAME again!!! We both said it was boring before but he is still playing it. HMMMM maybe he spent money on it so he has to play it LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - INTERNET CHEATS!!!
I went with my older friend to the PARKS LIBRARY today. We booked the computer so we could use the internet and look up VIDEO GAME CHEATS!!! My friend was writing all the cheats into a little book so we can use them later. I got to use one of the computers too. A kid told me there was a really good game and I had to play it. It was some kind of diving game where you click on things. I don't think it was very fun. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it either!!! HMMMM maybe he was trying to trick me LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - FUNNY FINAL FANTASY PLATE!!!
When we were at the library we borrowed some PLAYSTATION MAGAZINES to look at. We looked at all the new games coming out. I think my friend wanted to make sure he got a really good game next time. We saw a really funny picture of a FINAL FANTASY DINNER PLATE with a guy from the game on it. My friend started laughing SO HARD!!! He tried explaining to me why it was so funny but I didn't really get it LOL. It was just a plate with a picture on it!!! HMMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - PLAYSTATION AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE!!!
We went back to my friends house today and I got to play on his PLAYSTATION!!! He has SO MANY GAMES!!! We played BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN 3. I picked KAYIN because he looks really cool!!! My friend showed me all his special moves and we played for a while. I want to play it again next time!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I DON'T LIKE KAYIN ANYMORE!!!
We beat the game with KAYIN today and we unlocked a new character!!! But he looks like MICHAEL JACKSON!!! My friend said that is Kayin after you beat the game!!! I don't think I like Kayin anymore LOL. He looked much cooler before!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - STREET FIGHTER IS 3D!!!
My friend said he has a new STREET FIGHTER game but it is 3D!!! He told me to come over so he can show me. But it wouldn't work!!! I think the CD is scratched or something. He kept breathing on the disc and wiping it but the game still wouldn't load!!! HMMMM maybe the PlayStation doesn't like it LOL.

[ 30/07/1999 ] - POKEMON STADIUM AT ARNDALE
We went to Arndale after school and I saw Pokemon Stadium!!! It looks SO COOL!!! The pokemon are actually fighting on the TV and everything!!! I really want it when it comes out. There was some pokemon card as well. I got one pack and DIDN'T GET CHARIZARD. :-(

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEGODS!!!
My friend told me today that there are secret Pokemon called POKEGODS!!! He said they are really powerful and you can get them in Pokemon Red and Blue if you know the secret. I asked him what Pokemon they are but he said he can't tell me yet. HMMMMMM. I asked if his cousin knows about them and he said YES!!! I really want to find out if they are real. Maybe I can look for them on the internet.

[ 03/08/1999 ] - MY FRIEND ALREADY HAS POKEMON STADIUM?!
I told my friend about Pokemon Stadium and now he says he already has it. OF COURSE HE DOES!!! He says he has it because his dad bought it early. I asked him to bring it over and he said his N64 isn't working. HMMMMMMMM. Just like his 6 Charizards that he never brings. LOL!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SECRET EEVEE EVOLUTION!!!
My friend showed me a really rare Pokemon on his computer today!!! It was called RABBITZU and it looked a lot like EEVEE!!! He said it is a secret evolution of Eevee that nobody knows about yet. I asked him how you get it but he said it is really hard and he won't tell me. I really want to get Rabbitzu now!!! I wonder if it is in Pokemon Red.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I CAN GET MEW AT MARION!!!
My friend told me that if I take my GAME BOY and my Pokemon game to MARION SHOPPING CENTRE they have a special POKEMON MACHINE there that can give you a MEW!!! I really really want Mew because I don't have one yet and everyone says it is really rare. My friend said you just put your Game Boy in the machine and it puts Mew into your game!!! I asked Mum if we could go to Marion but she said NO!! Maybe I can ask my brother or his friend if they are going there sometime. Hehehe. I REALLY WANT MEW!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - RAICHU!!!
I went to Mum's friend's house today because they were having a party. All the kids were in one room playing and talking. One kid had a RAICHU card!!! I really wanted it because I don't have Raichu. I asked if he wanted to trade but he said NO. I asked him what he wanted for it and he still said no. I think he really likes his Raichu. I wish he would trade with me!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I DONT LIKE HIM!!!
I was at my friends house today and his older brothers friend was there. I dont think he likes me very much. He kept saying the games I have are GAY and I didnt like it. When they were not looking me and my friend looked in his bag and found a game magazine. We went through it and found some really funny and weird pictures!!! We were trying not to laugh too loud because we didnt want them to see us looking at it LOL.

[ 05/08/1999 ] - ANOTHER CARD GOT STOLEN
Another kid got his Pokemon card stolen at school today. Everyone was talking about it at recess. The teacher said they might BAN Pokemon cards if people keep stealing them. I really hope they dont because I like bringing my cards to school.

[ 07/08/1999 ] - WATCHED POKEMON AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE
I went to my friends house today and he taped Pokemon on the VCR so we watched it. His brother kept calling us BABY and saying Dragon Ball is better. He said pokemon is for little kids. Whatever!!!.

[ 10/08/1999 ] - POKEMON STADIUM
After school Mum took us to ARNDALE!!! I saw Pokemon Stadium at Game Mania and OMG IT LOOKS SO COOL!!! I wanted to play but there was too many kids. You can battle Pokemon on the TV and everything!!! I told Mum I need a Nintendo 64 now but she said I already have a Game Boy. THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING!!! :-(

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON SHOWBAG!!!
The ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW is coming soon!!! We got the showbag book today and I was looking through all the showbags and I SAW A POKEMON SHOWBAG!!! It has POKEMON STICKERS, a POKEMON PENCIL CASE, a POKEMON HAT and this little CARD HOLDER THINGY that you can put your rare Pokemon card in!!! I really really want it!!! It costs $20 though which is a lot of money. I have to think about it because if I get the Pokemon showbag then I might not have enough money for another showbag. But the card holder looks really cool and I could put my CHARIZARD in it if i get one!!! I REALLY WANT THE POKEMON ONE!!!

[ 12/08/1999 ] - I BEAT THE ELITE FOUR!!!
I finally beat the Elite Four!!! I was so happy I ran into the lounge yelling that I WON. Mum told me to stop yelling. :-) Now I want to catch all 150 Pokemon but I don't know if I can do it because some of them are REALLY hard to find and I need someone to trade with.

[ 13/08/1999 ] - MY POKEMON CD ROM!!
My sister bought me a pokemon CD ROM today!! It has pokemon pictures and you can make art and craft stuff on the computer. I made a picture of Bulbasaur but it took forever to print because the computer is SO SLOW. I want to make heaps more stuff.

[ 16/08/1999 ] - POKEMON BATTLE IN THE BACKYARD
Me and my friend played pokemon in the backyard today. I was Charmander and he was Squirtle. We were pretending to battle and I did a flamethrower attack but he said it didnt count because Charmander cant learn it yet. CHEATER!!! We ended up just throwing sticks at each other lol.

[ 17/08/1999 ] - WHICH POKEMON IS STRONGEST?
Today we were arguing about which Pokemon is the strongest. I said Charizard obviously. My friend said his Charizard is stronger than mine. I said "YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHARIZARD!!!" and he said "YES I DO I HAVE SIX!!!" LOL. He still didn't bring them.

[ 06/08/1999 ] - POKEMON MOVIE!!!
The Pokemon movie came out and my friend asked me if I wanted to go with him!!! I really wanted to go but I didn't have enough money. :-( He went anyway and got 2 FREE POKEMON CARDS with the movie!!! He gave me one because he knows I really like Pokemon. I got ELECTABUZZ and he kept DRAGONITE. I wish I could have gone to see the movie too but at least I got a card!!! :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I FEEL SAD TODAY :(
I felt sad at school today. My friends were playing together at lunch and I wanted to play with them but they said they were already playing. I sat by myself for a while on the oval eating lunch and didnt really know what to do. When I got home I went to my room and played POKEMON RED and looked at my cards but I still felt a bit sad. I hope they let me play with them tomorrow. I dont like being left out.

[ 18/08/1999 ] - POKEMON CARDS AT THE MARKET!!
I went to the market today with mum and they had pokemon cards for sale!!! I saw a CHARIZARD for $70!!!!!!!!! That is CRAZY!!! Who would pay $70 for one card???? I could buy like 10 gameboy games with that money LOL. I asked mum if I could have it but she said NO WAY. =(

[ ??/??/1999 ] - WE GOT CAUGHT!!!
I went over my friends house today. We didnt really know what to do so we decided to pick some fruit from his neighbors fence!!! We picked some and then we heard them open the door so we ran back inside really fast!!! I think they saw us but we dont know. We were trying not to laugh because we were scared they were going to come and tell his mum. We didnt get caught though LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - WHAT JOB WILL I HAVE???
I was at my friends house today and me and him were talking to his older brother about what jobs we want when we grow up. He kept telling my friend that he will be a DOCTOR or something but he kept telling me I will be a GRANDPA CLEANER!!! He said I will have to clean poo and stuff!!! I didnt think it was funny and I got really upset. Why does he think I will have that job??? I went home because I didnt want to talk about it anymore. I dont want to be a grandpa cleaner when I grow up!!!

[ 20/08/1999 ] - MY FRIEND KNOWS SECRET POKEMON
My friend says his cousin works at Nintendo and told him there are secret Pokemon that nobody knows about yet. He also says he knows how to get Mew. I don't know if I believe him because this is the same guy with the 6 Charizards that he never shows anyone. :-)

[ 23/08/1999 ] - I GOT MACHOP!!!
I opened a booster pack today!!! I told everyone at school I was going to get a Charizard before I opened it. I got a Machop and a rare trainer card. :-( Everyone laughed at me. Then my friend said he got ANOTHER Charizard. I asked him to show me and he said he left it at home. AGAIN!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SCARY GHOST BOOK!!!
We were in the library today and me and my friend were reading a scary ghost book. It had lots of scary photos of REAL GHOSTS in it!!! There was one ghost that was in the floor and you could see its face. It was really scary!!! My friend borrowed the book and brang it home!!! I think he is crazy because I am still scared LOL. I dont think I want to look at that book again!!! Maybe tonight I will ask Mum if I can sleep in her room HEHE.

[ 26/08/1999 ] - EVERYONE HAS A CHARIZARD
We were talking about cards at school and everyone says they have really rare ones. One kid says he has a super rare Charizard, another kid says he has a Mew and my friend says he has SIX Charizards. I think everyone is lying LOL.

[ 29/08/1999 ] - MY POKEMON FOLDER!!!
My brother and his girlfriend bought me a Pokemon card folder today!!! It has ash, misty, brock and pikachu on the front on it and it is really cool. I put my best cards in there because I don't want them getting bent.

Me and my brother and his friend went to ride on their bike today. They let me sit at the front of the bike and ride me around!!!

HMMM. Maybe we found someones really expensive ring!!!

[ 01/09/1999 ] - THE INVISIBLE CHARIZARDS
Me and my friend were trading cards at lunch. He wanted my ALAKAZAM card but said he would give me a Charizard for it. I said OK but then he said he forgot to bring his Charizard. LOL. He ALWAYS forgets his Charizard!!! Maybe all 6 of them are invisible.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - FRUIT PICKING AGAIN!!!
We went fruit picking again today!!! My friends brother is very smart. He made a NET ON A BROOMSTICK and we put it over the neighbors fence to pick some of their plums!!! It worked really good and we got a few plums. We had to be really quiet so they didnt hear us. I think my friends brother is very clever because I dont know how he made the net work. Maybe we can get even more next time LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED TODAY
Nothing really happened today. I went to the grocery store with Mum. I asked her if she could buy me some lollies and she said YES!!! I was really happy. Thats pretty much all that happened today LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - STREET FIGHTER AT THE ARCADE!!!
My brother and his friend took me to BRICKWORKS today. We went to the arcade and I saw them playing STREET FIGHTER!!! I saw someone use Ken against some guy with a blue mask and claws. It was so cool!!! I dont know who the guy with the mask was but he looked really strong. My brothers friend kept on telling me something about my sandals too but Im not sure what he was talking about. Maybe they are special or something. HMMM.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - WHAT GAME IS IT???
My brothers friend told me today he was supposed to bring a Super Nintendo game for me to borrow but he FORGOT!!! I asked him what game it was and he didnt even know!!! HMMMM.

[ 08/05/1999 ] - POKEMON CEREAL!!!
We went to 777 DELI today and I saw POKEMON CEREAL!!! It had little Pokemon pictures on the box and even had little marshmallows in it!!! I asked Mum if I could have it and she said NO. I kept asking and asking and she finally said OK BUT I BETTER EAT ALL OF IT AND NOT WASTE IT. So I had some when we got home. It looked really cool but it didn't even taste that good LOL. I have to eat it all or mum will get angry

[ ??/??/1999 ] - RIKI-OH!!!
My brother rented a movie today and we watched it together. It was called RIKI-OH or something like that. It was very violent!!! The main character was really strong and he punched people and they turned into blood and stuff!!! It was really crazy and I don't think Mum would let me watch it if she knew LOL. My brother thought it was really funny and we watched the whole thing together. I still can't believe how strong he was!!!

[ 06/05/1999 ] - I WANT TO WIN THE POKEMON TOYS!!!
I was looking through a NINTENDO MAGAZINE SYSTEM today and there was a competition to win Pokemon stuff!!! They had a little bouncy Pokemon thing and a GAME BOY BLASTER and they look SO COOL!!! I really really want to win it. I filled out the competition thing but Mum won't buy me the stamp to send it!!! I told her I might win and she said "you might also not win". THAT IS NOT VERY HELPFUL MUM!!! :-(

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I GOT $5!!!
I went with my uncle today to sell the beer cans. He told me if I helped him he would give me $5!!! The place was very cool but VERY LOUD!!! There were lots of cans and machines everywhere and it was making so much noise. I helped my uncle and then he gave me my $5. Im not sure how much money he got for selling everything. I think $5 is pretty good though!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - SUPER METROID!!!
I went to my other friends house today. He has LOTS OF GAMES and he is very nice because he sometimes lets me borrow them!!! Today I went to his house and watched him play SUPER METROID. It looked really cool and there were lots of monsters and places to explore. I wish I had Super Metroid so I could play it too. Maybe he will let me borrow it one day!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - WHERE IS THE METROID!!!
My older friend and I were playing SUPER METROID today and he said there is a METROID BABY somewhere in the game!!! He said it HAS to be in there somewhere!!! So we called the Nintendo Helpline... We kept asking him "WHERE IS THE METROID???" but he kept asking us if we got this and that and if we had the SPACE JUMP yet!!! We kept asking him where the Metroid was but he wouldn't tell us!!! HMMMM maybe you need the Space Jump to find the Metroid Baby!!! I think it must be somewhere in the game!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - HE FORGOT AGAIN!!!
I asked my brothers friend again today about the Super Nintendo game he was going to bring me. He FORGOT AGAIN!!! Why does he keep forgetting??? HMMM. I asked him what the game was called and he still didnt know. He said it was the game with the kid riding on the carpet. Maybe he really does have the game but maybe he is making it up like the kid with the SIX CHARIZARDS!!! I really want to know what game it is now. I told him to remember next time but I dont know if he will LOL.

[ 04/05/1999 ] - SOMEONE STOLE MY ALAKAZAM!!!
I left my Pokemon card folder in my backpack today and when I got home I noticed some cards were missing!!! SOMEONE STOLE THEM!!! I am really upset because my ALAKAZAM is gone. :-( I looked everywhere in my bag but I can't find it. I think someone must have taken it at school. From now on I am NEVER leaving my card folder in my backpack. I am going to check my cards every day!!!

[ 05/05/1999 ] - I THINK I FOUND OUT WHO TOOK IT!!!
I was looking for my ALAKAZAM again today and I think I know who might have taken it!!! I saw one of the kids looking at my Pokemon cards yesterday and he was looking at the good ones for a long time. I asked him if he saw my Alakazam but he said NO. HMMMMMM. I dont know if it was him but I am going to keep my cards with me from now on. I really want my Alakazam back. :-(

[ 02/05/1999 ] - SHOULD I BRING MY CARDS?!
My friend wants me to bring my Pokemon cards to VIETNAMESE SCHOOL on Saturday so we can trade with everyone. He says some of the kids have HEAPS of the really rare cards and even some JAPANESE POKEMON CARDS!!! I really want to trade for some of them because I haven't got any Japanese cards yet, but I'm still scared to bring mine. Some of the kids are way bigger than me and I don't want someone to steal my cards like what happened with my Alakazam. :-( Maybe I will just bring a few cards and leave my good ones at home. I REALLY WANT THOSE JAPANESE CARDS!!!

[ 04/09/1999 ] - HE HAS 7 NOW?!
I asked him AGAIN about the 6 Charizards and he said he has 7 now because he got another one from a booster pack. HOW CAN HE KEEP GETTING CHARIZARDS WHEN I CAN'T EVEN GET ONE??? He said he will show me tomorrow. I bet he forgets. :-)

[ 06/09/1999 ] - EIGHT CHARIZARDS!!! AGAIN!!!
My friend says he has 8 CHARIZARDS now. EIGHT!!! He says they are all holographic and he keeps them at home. I asked him to bring ONE to school so I could see it and he said his mum won't let him bring his cards outside. Hmmmm... :-/ I have asked him like 10 times now and he still never brings them. I think he is making it up LOL!!!

[ 09/09/1999 ] - MORE POKEMON CARDS!!!
Everyone is talking about the Dreamcast today because it is 9/9/99 but I am still thinking about Pokemon cards LOL. I really want another booster pack. Maybe Mum will take me shopping after school.

[ 30/04/1999 ] - POKEMON CARDS IN CHINATOWN!!!
My brother took me into the city today and we went to CHINATOWN!!! He bought me some Pokemon booster packs from one of the shops. They were only $2 EACH!!! which is really cheap. I think they might be fake because some of the cards look a little bit weird, but I don't care!!! I still really like them.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - STREET FIGHTER IS BROKEN!!!
Me and my brother went to CASH CONVERTERS today and we saw Street Fighter for $20!!! It looked different though because all the writing on the game was in Japanese. We asked the man if we could buy it but he said the game was BROKEN!!! HMMMM. I dont know what he means by broken because it looked fine to me. Maybe the Japanese writing makes it broken or something??? I really wanted it but we couldnt get it. I still really want a copy of Street Fighter for myself!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - POKEMON VHS!!!
I am staying at my brother's house for the school holidays!!! Today we went to Atlantic Video to rent some movies. I found a Pokemon VHS that had 3 Pokemon episodes on it so I really wanted that one!!! We also rented Austin Powers for my brother. I watched the Pokemon tape and saw Ash beat Lt. Surge!!! Pikachu beat Raichu even though Pikachu didnt want to evolve! It was SO COOL!!! Maybe while I am staying at my brother's I can convince him to let me buy some more Pokemon cards hehe.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MCDONALDS BREAKFAST!!!
We had breakfast at McDonalds today!!! I had my breakfast and then my brother drove me home because Mum is annoyed with me. I don't really know what to do now. I hope Mum isn't angry for too long because I still want to play Pokemon when I get home.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MUM IS ANGRY!!!
I went home today and Mum yelled at me and my brother because we didn't tell her that I was sleeping at my brother's house!!! She was really angry and said we are supposed to tell her things like that. My brother said he thought Mum knew already. I didn't really say anything because I didn't want her to yell at me more. I think I will just stay out of trouble for a while LOL. My brother saw that I was sad after Mum yelled at us today. He gave me some pocket money to cheer me up!!! He told me not to tell Mum because she might get angry again. I am going to keep it safe and maybe use it to buy something Pokemon.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - MUM IS OK NOW
Mum isn't angry anymore. She said she was annoy because nobody told her where I was staying. My brother said sorry and I said sorry too. Everything is OK now. I went to my room and played Pokemon for a while. I am trying to catch pokemon in safar zone but they keep running awau. I think I need to not throw too many rocks :-/

[ ??/??/99 ] - POKEMON SHIRT!!!
My sister bought me a Pokemon shirt today!!! Its black and has Ash holding a badge on it and it says POKEMON MASTER IN THE MAKING!!! I really like it and I cant wait to wear it to school. Maybe I am a Pokemon Master in the making HEHE. I am going to wear it to school tomorow

[ 10/09/1999 ] - MY NEW POKEMON WALLET
I went to MORNING GLORY today and bought a Pokemon wallet!!! I don't think it is a real Pokemon one because it looks kind of fake LOL because it say pocket monster, but it still looks really good. It has pikachu and clefairy on it and I can put my money in it now. I am going to use it to save up for a CHARIZARD CARD!!! :-)

[ 11/09/1999 ] - PIKACHU PET GAME
A kid at after school care had this little PIKACHU PET GAME thing today!!! It looked SO COOL!!! You can look after Pikachu and play game with it and stuff. I wanted to try it. I asked him if I could borrow it and he said "maybe". EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING MAYBE!!! I hope he lets me look after pikachu tomorrow!

[ 12/09/1999 ] - SHOPPING THIS WEEKEND!!!
My brother said he is taking me shopping this weekend and he said I can buy MORE POKEMON CARDS!!! YAY!!! I am going to look at all the booster packs and try to pick the one with Charizard in it. I know you can't tell what is inside but maybe I will get lucky this time. I am saving my money until then. :-)

[ 13/09/1999 ] - I REALLY WANT CHARIZARD!!!
I really really REALLY want a Charizard card. Everyone seems to have one except me. My friend says he has eight but I still haven't seen even ONE!!! If I get a Charizard I am going to put it in a sleeve and never let anyone touch it. I might even keep it at home so nobody can steal it. :-)

[ 14/09/1999 ] - POKEMON CARDS AGAIN!!!
I got another Pokemon booster pack today!!! I made Mum take me to the shops after school and I got 1 pack. I was hoping for CHARIZARD but I got another stupid rare trainer card. :-( WHY DO I KEEP GETTING TRAINER CARDS???

[ 19/09/1999 ] - MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING!!!
My birthday is coming up soon and I REALLY REALLY want a GAME BOY COLOR!!! I keep seeing them in the shops and they look SO COOL because they have COLOUR!!! My Game Boy Pocket is still good but I want the new one. My brother's girlfriend said maybe I will get one for my birthday. I don't know what "maybe" means though. Does that mean YES??? Or does it mean NO??? I am going to pretend it means YES. :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - PLAYSTATION!!!
My brother took me to his friend's house today. He had a PLAYSTATION and I got to play it!!! I think we played CRASH BANDICOOT and some car racing game. I had never played it before and it was really cool. The graphics look way better than my Game Boy!!! I still like Pokemon though. But I think I want a Playstation now too LOL.

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I MADE NOODLES!!!
I was watching Pokemon today and I got really hungry so I made some noodles. My brother came home and saw me eating them and wanted to try some to see if my cooking was good. I think he just wanted to eat my noodles LOL. I gave him some and he said they were pretty good!!! Maybe I am a really good cook HEHE.

[ 20/09/1999 ] - GAME BOY COLOR DREAMING
I keep thinking about the Game Boy Color now. I want the purple one because it looks really cool. I told Mum I want one for my birthday and she said "we'll see". THAT IS THE SAME AS MAYBE!!! Everyone keeps saying MAYBE and WE'LL SEE and I don't know what it means. I hope I get one because I want to play Pokemon in COLOUR!!! Imagine seeing all the Pokemon in colour instead of green and black!!! :-)

[ ??/??/1999 ] - NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!
Tomorrow we have no school!!! I wanted to stay home and play Pokemon all day but Mum said there is noone to look after me. So I have to go to her friends house instead. I dont want to go because there is a kid there that I dont know!!! What if he doesnt like Pokemon or doesnt want to play with me? I wish I could just stay home and play my Game Boy. Maybe it wont be so bad.

[ 21/09/1999 ] - POKEMON PINBALL???
I saw POKEMON PINBALL today!!! It looks really cool but also REALLY WEIRD. Why are Pokemon inside a pinball machine??? LOL. You hit the ball around and Pikachu is there and stuff. I don't really understand it but I kind of want to play it anyway. I wonder if you can catch Pokemon in it. That would be pretty cool. :-)

[ 22/09/1999 ] - I GOT CHARIZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY GOT THE CHARIZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUM LET ME BUY A BOOSTER PACK AFTER SCHOOL SO I WENT INTO EB GAMES AND PICKED THE PACK WITH BLASTOISE ON IT. I OPENED IT AND THERE HE WAS!!!!!!!! HOLOGRAPHIC CHARIZARD!!!!!!!! I ACTUALLY SCREAMED LOL!!! I couldn't believe it. I showed Mum and she said "that's nice" BUT SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS!!!! I am putting it straight into a sleeve and nobody is allowed to touch it. :-)

I HAVE A CHARIZARD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ 23/09/1999 ] - I TOOK CHARIZARD TO SCHOOL!!!
I took my CHARIZARD to school today to show everyone!!! I put it in my best sleeve and then put it inside my folder so it wouldn't get bent. At lunch I showed all my friends and EVERYONE wanted to see it!!! One kid said he would trade me 10 holo cards for it but I said NO WAY!!! :-) My friend with the 8 Charizards finally saw it and said his Charizards are better. I asked him to show me one of his and he said they were still at home. OF COURSE THEY ARE!!! LOLLLLL.

I kept checking my folder every five minutes to make sure it was still there. I think this is the best card I have ever had. I am NEVER trading Charizard!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - NINTENDO 64!!!
One of my older friends told me his other friend has a NINTENDO 64 and I can come over and play it!!! I really want to go because I have never played one before. He said I should come over soon because he has to give it back soon!!! Mum is at work so I don't have anyone to drive me there. I really hope I can go before he returns it. I wonder what games he has!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - I MIGHT GET A NINTENDO 64!!!
My older friend said he might let me borrow his NINTENDO 64!!! He said I can borrow it but I have to let him borrow my SUPER NINTENDO and my GAME BOY with all my games too and Pokemon Red. I really want to do it because I have never played a Nintendo 64 before!!! I wonder what games he has. I hope they are good. I really want to play it!!! I have to ask Mum first tho

[ 24/09/1999 ] - I REALLY WANT AN N64!!!
I REALLY REALLY want a NINTENDO 64 now!!! I keep seeing all the games and they look so cool. I want Pokemon Stadium SO BAD after seeing it at Arndale. Maybe I can ask Mum or my brother for one for Christmas, but I don't want to be greedy because maybe I am already getting a GAME BOY COLOR for my birthday. :-)

Maybe we could get a SECOND HAND N64 instead??? That might be cheaper and then I could get one and still have money for games. I am going to ask my brother what he thinks. I REALLY NEED TO PLAY POKEMON STADIUM!!!

[ ??/??/1999 ] - EB GAMES AGAIN!!!
I went into EB GAMES today to look at the Pokemon games again!!! They almost kicked me out AGAIN because Mum wasn't with me. I told them I was going to buy something and I showed them my $5 that I was holding in my hand. They let me stay after that!!! LOL. I looked at all the Pokemon games and the Game Boy stuff for ages but I didn't actually buy anything. I just wanted to look. I still really want POKEMON STADIUM!!!

[ 25/09/1999 ] - N64 AT CASH CONVERTERS!!!
We went to CASH CONVERTERS today because Mum wanted to buy a new vacuum cleaner. I was looking around while she was looking at all the boring stuff and then I SAW IT!!! A NINTENDO 64!!! It was only $140!!! I asked Mum if we could get it and she didn't say anything. Just NOTHING. LOL.

I don't know if that means yes or no. Maybe she is thinking about it. I told her about Pokemon Stadium again and she still didn't say anything. I think I am going to ask my brother when we get home. Maybe $140 isn't too much for an N64??? I REALLY WANT IT!!!
