If you were to ask someone what the first Pokemon ever created is, you’d probably receive answers such as Pikachu and Bulbasaur. In actuality, however, Rhydon – the 112th Pokemon registered in the Pokedex – was created first. That little factoid comes from Ken Sugimori, one of the original designers of the first generation of Pokemon titles.

That does make sense, as Rhydon’s data can be found first in Red/Green. Also, this explains the statues that you see when you first step into a gym in Pokemon Red/Blue. The icon doesn’t look like Rhydon completely, but it’s pretty darn close!

Thanks to Tim for the tip!

Like every year, a bunch of announcements are expected to be unleashed at this year’s E3. But the pre-E3 episode of GameTrailers TV will have “a ton of never-before-seen world exclusives” before the the trade show officially kicks off. Gamers interested in checking out the exclusives should tune in to GTTV on June 11. Most revelations will most likely be saved for E3, though the show may be worth watching nonetheless.

“E3 is almost here! GTTV starts E3 first with Spike’s All-Access to the show, before it opens. With a ton of never-before-seen world exclusives, outrageous surprise guests and debut announcements that will send the industry buzzing all the way to E3, GTTV starts the biggest video game convention before anyone else.”

Believe it or not, Pac-Man turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. And to honor the video game character’s anniversary, Google replaced their logo with a fully-functional version of the arcade classic late last week. Fortunately, even though Google has reverted back to its normal self, Pac-Man is playable on a newly dedicated page.

The game contains 255 levels, along with the well-known glitch in the 256th level. Additionally, a second player can control Ms. Pac-Man with the “WASD” keys.

Today’s Pac-Man’s thirtieth anniversary, so you know what that means, right? An homage on the Google homepage! Not only is the game playable, but a second player can also join in on the fun. Simply press “Insert Coin” twice, and Ms. Pac-Man will pop up on the screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

“I was art director on Xenosaga Episode 1, which was also my first project at Monolith Soft. I was director and art director on Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos II. For the soon-to-be released Xenoblade, I made concept art. Outside of these, when we get graphics work from other companies, I do direction inside the company. By the way, I’m currently…I’m doing secret work (laughs).” – Baten Kaitos series director Yasuyuki Honne

Man, I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I love Baten Kaitos. I’d be absolutely thrilled if Baten Kaitos III was announced for Wii. Unfortunately, the sales of the first two games might prevent that from happening.
