Pok�mon of the Day
Take it slow, bro. There's a new Pok� king in town.
January 31, 2000
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!
Also, be sure to check out our Pok�Contest once you learn all about this Pok�mon -- the prize pack is all new (or should I say "Neo"). 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:

Take it slow, bro. There's a new Pok� king in town.
Yadoking isn't the world's brightest king, but for a Pokemon, this royal fool sure has come a long way. Evolved from the Slowpoke and Slowbro Pok�mons (which could be found in Pok�mon Red / Blue / Yellow), Yadoking has taken the shell that was biting his poor tail and turned it into a crown, thus proclaimed a king by the crown. He still looks goofy though, so if you bow to the king, do it not out of respect, but out of love for the cuddly and silly Slowpoke descendant.
Note that the name of this Pok�mon is Slowking. This is indeed the trademarked name of the character for the American release of Pok�mon Silver and Gold. All hail to the king!
Now that you've gotten your Pok�lesson and you are a Pok�scholar, take this info over to our Pok�mon Contest and enter yourself for a chance to win some great Pok�prizes. Get the answer right, and you may win yourself the Pok�mon 'Neo' Prize Pack -- "Neo" Ultra-Limited Edition Japanese Pok�mon cards (based on the Silver and Gold Pok�mon games, and not available in stores anywhere in the US), Japanese Pok�mon puzzles, Pok�mon Key Chains, Pok�mon videos... Everything but the Pok�sink! It's a super Pok�freak-out! So take the Pok�challenge, and put some Pok� in your pocket!
If you haven't registered, get your butt over to our Registration page and put all the pertinent information so you get in on the goods.
