Musa Voice Actor and Ariana Grande Reveal

Credit to Angela's Winx World for the news!

A few days ago, I posted about Ariana Grande voicing a fairy in the new Nickelodeon version of Winx Club. We all had our guesses, ranging from Musa to Tecna to Roxy, but, as a big shock, it turns out that she's actually voicing Princess Diaspro. Quite a few of us (myself included) forgot about the fact that she is indeed a fairy. This will definitely be interesting!

Also, according to Twitter, Romi Dames is voicing Musa! Dames is from the Disney TV show "Hannah Montana", on which she plays Traci.

Am I the only one who cannot wait to see this?!

Nickelodeon Winx Club Updates

In case you haven't heard, several other voice actors have been confirmed for Nickelodeon's version of Winx Club. Aside from Keke Palmer voicing Aisha (yes, Nickelodeon is officially calling Layla by her Italian name), Molly Quinn, is voicing Bloom and Josh Keaton is voicing Valtor. Quinn is known for the TV show "Castle" and the Disney movie "Avalon High". Keaton has voiced many different characters on several animated films and TV shows, such as "Hercules" and "Bratz".
Ariana Grande (from the Nickelodeon show "Victorious") is also voicing one of the fairies, but she has yet to reveal which one. But, with her brightly colored hair and amazing singing voice, I believe it's either Roxy or Musa.

Also, Nickelodeon has an official Winx page set up on their website! Check it out here. There's also an official trailer, which states that it is premiering this June! Not long left to wait!
So, what do you guys think of the voices and the information we've gotten so far?

CoroCoro Soon Announcing New Pokemon Game Information

I can't remember if I made a post on the game announcement or not, so I'll explain. Dengeki DS revealed that there will be a new Pokemon game coming out soon. Satoru Iwata said a few months ago that there would be a Pokemon game released for the 3DS. Here is what he said:

Naturally, we expect 3D viewing to become one of the attractions when the new Pokémon title is released on Nintendo 3DS, but a number of other attractions, which do not depend upon the 3D aspect, shall also be realised," Iwata told investors. "I have no hesitation about the prospect that a Pokémon-franchise title will be released for Nintendo 3DS.

People have been speculating that the game announced in Dengeki DS would be the 3DS game talked about by Mr.Iwata. Now that it's all explained, I can get to the point of this post. CoroCoro will be showing more information in its June 15th issue, and Dengeki DS also says that it will be revealing more info in its May 21st issue.

Now, I just wanna say this. I love this website. I'm not planning on taking it down or letting it die. However, stuff has been coming up, and the site won't be as active as it used to be, as you can probably see. I just wanted to make sure that I could get that out before ending this post.

Pokemon Global Link is Opening April 13th!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been posting. I'm on a public computer, since I'm having computer problems, so this will have to be a short post. The Pokemon Global Link will be opening up on April 13th, after a small delay because of the recent earthquake in Japan.

Pokemon creator caught in Twitter death hoax

In the wake of Japan's earthquake and tsunami disaster, there have been many reports of major casualties, injury and death. However, it has also seen a wave of misinformation come through the blogosphere - particularly on Twitter.

 

The past six hours has seen the topic of Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of the Pokemon franchise, become a trending topic on Twitter. 

 

"The creator of Pokemon died today in the #tsunami, #Japan. RIP: Satoshi Tajiri. #prayforjapan," wrote Twitter user @xCyrusAndLovato, with many similar tweets following in its wake. 

 

Searches beyond the Twittersphere, however, point to no official reports or verified sources confirming the death of Mr. Tajiri, 45. Nintendo, who have worked with the Pokemon franchise since its video game inception, have since confirmed that none of their company alumni - including Mr. Tajiri - have been injured. 

 

"Thanks for your concern!" wrote @NintendoAmerica. 

 

"During the earthquake, no one at Nintendo in Japan was injured and there was no apparent structural damage." 

 

Additionally, Mauritis Hot reports that Mr. Tajiri "fainted while seeing the destruction done by the Tsunami," but "is not dead." 

 

Twitter has been the source of many death hoaxes in recent years, spreading rumours of deaths for celebrities such as Charlie Sheen, Jim Carrey, Kanye West and Justin Bieber.
