Fwee! AMC has 40 hits a day, thanks to you guys! =D Seeing this has greatly improved my mood. (I get reports every Monday. xD) I still have to work on that idea that I have. Right now, I'm concentrating more on a new layout. You can see a preview here. Think of it as a reward for 40 unique hits a day. =D If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please tell me in the cbox. Also, if anyone knows how to center text vertically, that would be greatly appreciated. =D We have a new affiliate, Eonlight Valley! Yay! EV's an awesome site, I Our host, EHQ, is currently on hiatus. D= I'm not going to remove the link, though, Eevee-chan deserves a break, and I will continue to support her site. ^^ |
| .:Stuff January 7, 2007 | |

Yay for really original titles. So, anyway. You may have noticed there's both hover-overs and buttons for the top affiliates- I've been thinking about switching back to hover-overs. I've also been thinking of getting rid of the groups and combining all of the affiliates. I'm leaning most towards combining them and using buttons, but I want to see what you guys think. There's a poll on the random poll page, go vote. Go vote in the other polls while you're at it, too. ^^ While I'm on the subject of affiliates, there's at least four that haven't updated in a month or more. If the webbies of AshKetchum.nl, Magical Fire, Poke Isle, and Shimmer's Glow are reading this, by any chance, I may remove you soon if you don't update. =/ I have an idea. ^^ A really original idea, I think, as I've never seen it anywhere else. And no, I'm not about to tell you. You will have to wait impatiently. >D Mwahaha. And lastly... the menus are really unorganized. D= I'm going to work on that, so don't be surprised if you see a bunch of stuff out of place or something. |
| .:Just to say I'm here. January 3, 2007 | |
|
Hello, everyone. This is basically an update to let you all know I'm here. With school and other activities, I'm busier than ever. My current priority I put up an awards page, too. =3 Eevee-chan of EHQ was nice enough to give AMC an award, and it's very pretty. =D Go look at it! ^^ |
| .:Layout Stuff January 1, 2007 | |
|
Happy New Years, everyone! ^^ Hope everyone had a good break, I'm sure a lot of you, including me, have to go back to school now. x_X I found a solution to my problem with the banner and disclaimer on the Flareon Inferno style. However, I'm not going to go through all the pages right now, as that'd take a while. Someday, I'll clean up the entire layout. Hopefully that'll allow a lot more diversity in styles once I'm done. A new style is on its way, as well. It's green. ^^ I added some stuff on the About Me page, and I reorganized some of the game information. Hopefully I'll have more to put up soon. |
| .:Yay, new updating style December 30, 2006 | |
|
Hooray for new styles of updating! =DD Eh, I was getting tired of the old one. Perhaps I'll make a background for this. -scurries off to do so- Anyway, I got Pokémon Ranger today. ^^ It's pretty cool. Starting kinda slow, but it's pretty cool. I added some more avatars, too. Go check them out. |
I made a free avatars page. Yay. Go check it out. ^^
I brought back the mini ticker, but I don't know if I'll keep it. If anyone has any opinion on this, feel free to post it in the cbox.
Speaking of the cbox, I think I'm going to move it to the site section. It really doesn't need its own section, and I don't think many people notice it way down on the right menu.

*scribbles over the sigh with a purple marker*
Fwee, we have a new affiliate! =D Let's give a warm welcome to Ho-oh's Tower! It's a really neat site that's sure to be even greater in the future.
Hooray for two updates in one day. =D Umm, there's really nothing else new. I'm going to try and divide my time between working on things visitors will notice, like content, and things I'll notice, like fixing up the layout. Well, maybe you'll notice that, but meh.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! ^^
Update by Shadow on December 24, 2006*sigh*
Okay... the Flareon Inferno style is up. However. It's really messed up on some pages, and I have to go fix that up a bit. I have no idea how to make the banner and disclaimer have a set size while the rest of the layout doesn't, so please just deal with the banner and disclaimer duplicating themselves. I have another style started, and I will try to modify the current styles to fit it so I don't have to delete them. More updates and such coming soon... I hope.
Happy holidays, everyone!
.:New Style.:Flareon Inferno
Update by Shadow on December 24, 2006
Yay, revised pages
I finished revising the Evolution Guide, and I must say I think it's much better now. ^^ The Affiliation page has also been revised, and it's a little more specific now. Next in line for revision are the Thank You page and the Healing Guide.
I may do something special for the site for Christmas, and other winter holidays. Perhaps these revisions are enough, but I plan to have new pages up soon. I'm also planning some big things for the site's birthday, which is in about a month. I can't believe it's been a year... more, really, because of the sites that never hit the Internet. A year for AMC, though.

Stuff
We have a new affiliate! =D Say hello to... Eon-Isle! It's a pretty nice site, and it shows a lot of potential. While we're on the subject of affiliates, Magical Fire has been moved to the normal affiliates, due to Lady-of-Flame's inactivity... Several of my other affiliates haven't updated in quite some time, so I may do something about that in the future.
As you may have noticed, I put my quiz results onto a separate page, and moved that and the Adoptables page onto the About Me page. Both the About and Contact Me pages are now in the Site section.
The Evolution guide is in the process of being revised, and the Affiliation, Healing Guide, and Thank You pages are right behind it. I'll finish stuff tomorrow. Also, Christmas break is starting for me, so I should have more done this week. Happy holidays, everyone!
.:Revised Pages.:Evolution Guide
Update by Shadow on December 22, 2006
Minor Things
I made an Old Layouts page, and both that and the Past Updates page have been moved onto the History page. I may combine the About Me and Contact Me pages, then move that into the Site section and get rid of the Me section. I haven't decided what I'll do about the Adoptables page yet. So, basically, I'm going to go through the menu and organize stuff.
As I'm doing this, I'm going to clean up the layout a bit, so I may be able to finish that Flareon style. I started another layout, but chances are, especially if I can't successfully complete the Flareon style, the other layouts would not be kept. So we'll see what happens.

Update by Shadow on December 16, 2006
=( Goodbye, Poke-Storm...
Well... one of our affiliates, Poke-Storm, has closed. =( The link has been removed...
As for site stuff... I'm extremely sorry for the lack of anything. Tomorrow, there's pep band, then Saturday I'm babysitting in the evening, and Sunday my dad's side of the family is coming over for a Christmas party. I'll try to finish that Secret Bases page in the Ruby and Sapphire section, but don't count on it. Same with the Colosseum stadium guide I haven't put up...
*hides from anyone waiting to throw rocks at her for not updating*
Update by Shadow on December 14, 2006New Affiliate
We have a new affiliate! =D Lugia's Island has tons of useful content, and they're definitely worth a visit. ^^ They've been placed under Top Affiliates.
More content is on its way. Sorry for the delays with practically everything; I've been busy. x_X I have a lab report due on Tuesday, so don't expect anything else over the weekend. I also have concerts for band both this Monday and next Monday, band rehearsal on Tuesdays, Destination Imagination on Thursdays, and pep band on Fridays. I also have to babysit today and next Saturday. Needless to say, I've been busy. x_X
Update by Shadow on December 9, 2006Polls in December!
There's a couple new polls on the Random Polls page. ^^ Go check them out.
I'm working on Colosseum stuff. And I'm working on other stuff as well...
If you were wondering what happened to that Flareon layout, I'm fixing some width issues on the rest of the site. Hopefully I'll be able to make some progress from there. It's not going to work, by the way, if you click that link, it's not on the styleswitcher. =P
The other updates have been moved to the archive.

Update by Shadow on December 1, 2006
Merf.
SO. I am no longer sad. ^^ Umm, yeah, that was pretty much the point of this whole update. o_o
I'm thinking I might bring back the character page soon. Absol and Charizard will be on there, and Raticate (such original names, no?), and possibly Hyper. I might include Absozard, Abyena, and Abatu (new character =D) as Absozard is pretty much my Pokesona now.
Update by Shadow on November 29, 2006*sigh*
Err... yeah, I've been pretty dead lately. There's really nothing new, except I joined VN Topsites. The site's back up, if you didn't know. =D
I suppose I've been a little sad, too. Eh, I don't feel like trying to explain what's going on. So... I'll try and get some sort of page up soon. See ya~
Update by Shadow on November 28, 2006Return of the Affiliates!
Umm, don't mind the title. Team Rocket's Headquarters has been reopened, so yay! =D
I've become re-addicted to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, so expect more stuff on that coming soon. The Artifacts page has some new ones as well, but I'm not going to inform you each time I add one.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! ^^

Updated page and style in progress
Well, I added mail to the items page last night. There's also a new Flareon style in progress. Once it's done, it'll be AMC's first non-fixed width layout. I'm not having any problems with it, except I'm a little stuck on the banner. I'll figure something out, though, don't worry. See ya around~

AMC Grand Reopening!
Hey everyone! Yes, AMC is reopening! What has it been, months? I feel really bad about being so horribly lazy with everything involving the move... please don't throw rocks at me! ^^;;
Well, as you can see, AMC now has a styleswitcher, with both Dragonair and Butterfree styles. The base color for the Butterfree style actually came from the RS Manectric. Weird, right? Anyway, there's also some new game information, not much, but it's a good start. One of the pages is incomplete, but I'll work on that. Most of the other pages I just carried over, but many I left off the menu for the time being. A few have been revamped, particularly the Emerald and FRLG information and starters pages.
So, I guess that's it for now. Expect a lot of stuff soon, I definitely owe it to you for making you wait this long.
One more quick note. There's a new affiliate, Minito! =D I also removed TRHQ, as Concrete closed the site. =(
See you next time!

By Shadow on November 2, 2006
Sorry for being so dead-ish lately... anyway, progress first. I'm about halfway done with revamping the content. The site and me sections are completely done (hey, those were the easiest). The games section is about halfway done, and the others I more or less still have to get started on. However, I've been doing pretty good lately, fixing up about two pages a day. By that theory, I'll be done in about two weeks. I wouldn't count on that, however... ^^;; Right now, I'm concentrating on making pages that were completely horrible half-way decent, then I'll move on. After the site's re-opened, I'll worry about fixing them up more.
Also, we have two more affiliates! Say hello to PokeCountry and Eon Island! =D These two sites show lots of potential, and they're off to an excellent start. Go visit them. ^^
Speaking of affiliation, I'm closing it for now. It'll open back up when I'm done switching hosts. Sorry... ^^;;
That's all for now.
ProgressBy Shadow on October 5, 2006
Copied directly from the Cbox... my progress so far. ^^;; Expect progress to speed up shortly.
I haven't had a lot of time to work on the site... I have the old update page done and I completely revamped the history. I'm working on the Thank You page, the Error Report will be gone, probably the guestbook as well, then I'll put up the Link page, and revamp the Affiliates, it's always bothered me the way I have it set up. The affiliates will also be split into two groups, the Polls will be redone, Characters might stay down for a while, and the forum link will go back. Then that takes care of that section... that's how I'm going to do it, one section at a time. The layout is all taken GOSH STUPID TEXT LIMIT ... taken care of, the images and stuff are all in place. I might as well put this into an update.
And so I did. ^^
Update NoticeBy Shadow on September 30, 2006
As you should know, on August 28th, I found a new host, Eevee's HQ. Since then, I've been very busy working on the site, dealing with school and homework, finding time for friends and family, and countless other things. I'd like everyone to know that AMC is not dead, and I guarantee you the day will come when the site is back 300%. Until then, I just ask that you bear with me and my laziness and lack of time. ^^;;
Also, if you need to contact me, I haven't been checking my email as much lately, so if you need a fast response, I suggest you PM me over at TCoD Forums, as I visit there frequently as Sandstone-Shadow. Mmkay? Thanks for hanging around, guys, it's been hard keeping this stuff up lately.
Layout StuffBy Shadow on August 25, 2006
Firstly, let me apologize for the lack of updates. I've been extremely busy, with band camp, notes for school, friends and family, working on the new layout, etc. Hopefully I'll have time to make that up to you once school starts.
My current plans are to find a new host, then finish the layout. The new layout will go up on the new host, and then I'll procede to move over all the pages, revising them as I go. Right now, my biggest dilemna is finding a good host. The layout progression is going good, although I have to say the leaf in the previous update really isn't a clue anymore.
Two affiliates were removed for various reasons, as well. Aaand that's it. *walks away*
I liveBy Shadow on August 7, 2006
Sorry for the sorta in-frequent updates... I actually did something this time! =D There's two new pages, a Healing Methods guide, and an "About Final Fantasy CC" page. Whoo, two pages in one day. Oh, and I have a Secret Bases guide coming up, as well as the HTML guide and ideas guide that I have yet to finish...
OK, another thing. A new layout is coming! Hehe, I'm not going to tell you anything about it, except it's going to be awesome. The only clue you're getting is this... 
See you later!
Hey, I'm not deadBy Shadow on July 26, 2006
Hey everyone, sorry for not updating. First off, we have a new affiliate, MF Lair. I'll get a link on the sidebar as soon as I can.
I want to do so much for this site, but I'm not getting anywhere. Runescape has become way too addicting, as well as other things. I'll make a list of what I'm planning... probably in the order they'll get done. I don't know, though.
- Finishing that ideas guide
- Separating the affiliates into groups
- Making a mini site for my sprites
- Possibly opening some contests
- Make some more guides, probably spriting
- HTML guide
- More game information
- Working on the Final Fantasy section
- Working on the Pokédex
- Make a new layout
- And there was something else...
Like that's all going to get done anytime soon. =/
IDEABy Shadow on July 11, 2006
Yup, I have an idea. And it is.... *drum roll* OK, I've been thinking of an original idea for how long, and it finally came to me! A guide to original ideas! This is my most original idea yet. =D Myyy idea, don't use it.
New affiliateBy Shadow (well who else?) on July 10, 2006
We have a new affiliate! Please welcome Divinity! Check it out, it has some nice information.
Well... I'm going to make some more fake Pokemon. *sigh* Things just aren't working for me right now... either I'm lazy, or I'm really lacking motivation. Umm, is that the same thing?
Oh, and the Pinball Rayquaza page has finally been updated with the new layout.
......By Shadow on July 8, 2006
I guess you could say I'm sorta depressed. I don't know what to add to the site, and believe me, I'm trying hard. For now, I'll add more information... but I just need something original. *sigh* I don't know...
All right...By Shadow on July 2, 2006
Hey, everyone, I'm back! Up north was pretty fun, but it's good to be home. =)
I started a Final Fantasy section. It's down on the bottom of the menu, and I put up a page with a list of artifacts. Soon I'll have more information, as well as pages to clarify what the game is, for people who don't know. Once I have a good deal of content there, I'll break it off into its own site.
I'm soon going to have some information on Red + Blue and Gold + Silver, since I recently restarted Blue and Silver version. The first pages that'll be up will probably be (incomplete) gym leader pages, and possibly general information pages. I'm also going to re-do the current info pages.
I've figured out the only reason I've delayed Skitty's page so long is that I don't want to go to the trouble of uploading two sprites for every Pokémon, and then never be able to find them again in the 20 some pages I have on Imageshack. Therefore, I might try Photobucket for those, so I can keep them all organized in albums. Dunno, though.
I'm trying to balance out the menu, seeing as there's a few sections with a lot of pages, and some with only one or two. I'll slowly add more pages to those smaller sections.
I am making an adoptables page that I'll put up in a few minutes.
...these updates are really long, aren't they?
LeavingBy Shadow on June 28, 2006
OK, I'm leaving to go up north to our cabin tomorrow. I may be bringing my laptop, but either way, I almost definetaly will not have internet access. I won't be back until Sunday, so I need everyone to keep an eye on this place, OK? I'm trying to find someone who can watch over the forums and the saybox, but if I don't, I'm just going to ask that the members and visitors take can of it as best they can. Thanks, everyone!
As for an actual update, I edited the Emerald Gym leaders page, adding a list of the Pokémon that each one uses. See everyone soon!
Okay, here's what's going on.By Shadow on June 26, 2006
Okay. The Pokédex is back up. As of now, there is no more information than there was before. There's still only Bulbasaur through Beedrill, but I'm shortly going to do Skitty for the Pokémon of the week, seeing as Skitty clearly won. I will also add more pages, and I will probably re-model all the information. Gosh, I'm such a neat freak.
Since the Pokédex has been re-done, I need to re-do the secret link game, seeing as one of the links was inside the Pokédex. Well, really, I don't need to, but I'd like to re-do it anyway.
I am also working on the episodes. I'm creating a list of every episode, then I'm going to slowly write guides, summaries, and maybe reviews of the episodes I have taped. I'll try and get as many tapes or DVDs as possible, so I can write as many guides as I can.
I've recently started playing Pokémon Trozei again, and, my gosh is that game fun. I'm going to create a few Trozei pages, as well as write reviews on some of the games.
Overall, I'm going to write a lot of content for this site. I've been strongly motivated by quite a few things, first, I've noticed that last week, AMC was getting about 20 unique hits a day, while already in the beginning of this week, we've almost hit 30 a day. I've also watched this site in the topsites listings, and I've noticed a lot more hits there. Thank you, everyone who visits and votes for AMC! ^_^
Need... ideas...By Shadow on June 23, 2006
Hrr. Okay, I need to come up with more original ideas... I also need to put up more game information. I feel like I really haven't added anything to the site in a long time, so I really need to fix that.
As of now, there is a characters page.
New affy and edited rulesBy Shadow on June 18, 2006
Yay, we have a new affiliate! Welcome to Shimmer's Glow! Give them a visit; it's a really neat site. ^_^
I also changed the rules for the Poliwag award. Before it said that if you ask I won't give it to you, but I changed that. So... yeah, you can ask for it if you want, your chances might be lowered, though.
I'm happy to announce that the forums are ever-so-slightly less dead. I guess I was being too impatient, but... still go join! =D
The Pokédex is underway. I'm adding the information from the old Pokédex, and I will add some more, I think. I may just add what I already have and then work on adding more information and organizing it before I move on. *runs for no particular reason*
Let's bring these forums to life, eh?By Shadow on June 15, 2006
Doesn't anyone here visit the forums? They're as close to dead as the living can get. We have 7 registered members, 2 that haven't posted at all, and out of the ones that have posted, none of them have posted more than 3 times, excluding me. There's 5 validating members that haven't bothered to even ask to be validated, let alone read the rules and tell me the passwords. Out of a total of 32 posts, 23 were by me, 24, actually, because I posted as a guest, too. 24 out of 32 posts are attempts to bring the forums back to life. But I wonder, were they ever living?
The new Pokédex is under way. Note that right now, the menus won't work, and the stylesheets and banners will not show up. For the time being, it's just going to have to be like that, because I don't see the point of fixing it if I'm just going to get rid of it anyway. Thank you, Articuno, for pointing out one important error there, that has been fixed. :)
New layout, new updating style, new plans!By Shadow on June 14, 2006
The new layout is here, everyone! It is a fire layout, as you can see, and it's name is Flames of Glory, or FoG for short. I have hover-overs for the affiliates and the saybox skin has been changed to match it. I will soon add hover-overs for the topsites, clubs, and stats, but for now, they are fine how they are.
There is a new updating style as well. I think this will look much nicer and will be a welcome change.
Now, I plan on re-constructing the Pokédex, as well as adding much more information, and creating a Final Fantasy section. Enjoy!
