Note to Pok� Poets: Make sure to play along with our Pok�poem Write-In event! Your poems are due by Thursday, July 20. Be part of the fun!
Mondays are special days indeed for Pok�men and women -- every Monday, IGNpocket will be sneaking into this country and (onto our web site) one of the brand new Pok�mons from the Japanese Silver and Gold Pok�mon games. You won't be able to catch these newest Pok�critters until the games' release in September, 2000, so this is your only chance to get your Pok�dose of Pok�mania for almost a year. There are 100 new Pok�mons total, so keep coming back to IGNpocket to catch them all!
And if you're looking to be the Ultimate Pok�mon Collector, check into the all-new Pok�Contest once you learn all about this Pok�mon -- the prize pack is the most massive Pok�mon give-away yet! Head on over to our Contest page where you must answer one question about this Pok�mon. Get the answer right, and you'll be entered to win the Pok�mon prize of that day. But to win, you'll have to register � it's a painless process, and well worth the three minutes of your time.
Now, on to today's Pok�mon of the Day:

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of Pok�mon evolution. (Bonus Gold / Silver Pok�mon)
This Pok�mon is shaped like an X. X as in "X-Men". X as in "What the heck are you doing sitting around your house reading the internet when there's a bloomin' X-Men movie playing in theaters right now! ...With an X!" X as in make an eXit and with eXpediency get thyself to an eXhibition house of X-Men before you become eXiled from eXistence!
Send your stinkin' thinking here!
NOTE: The name of this Pok�mon will likely change when the Silver and Gold Pok�mon Game Boy Color games are translated and brought over. Names of Pok�mons are plays on words (both in Japan and the US), so expect the names to be witty and charismatic translations of the Japanese names.
