Hiring Illustrator

/

While we look over applications for a writing position, which we are still doing (stay tuned), we need someone who can draw! More importantly, someone who can draw Pok mon well. PKMNcast is looking for an illustrator to get a job done this week. More particularly, we are looking to make a poster and sell it this weekend at Midwest Gaming Classic and then online. Work would have to be done before Wednesday night, that being said, you would get a cut of the profit. E-mail us and let us know! While I could just take PNGs and make a poster, I will not sell someone else's copyrighted artwork, but if it's yours and your looking to make a couple bucks, let us know!

E-mail Us! and/or just pokemonpodcast@me.com

Include in the subject line "Illustrator".

Please include artwork with application.

Thanks!

PKMNcast is Hiring!

/

We get tons of e-mails every week asking if would accept new writers. While we are always looking for amazing talent, we can't afford to pay people or respond to those e-mails right away. My fault. BUT!!!!

We are looking for some more writers! Here is the deal. The main thing we are looking for is someone who can make PKMN of the Week more original. Right now, those articles are pulled off Bulbapedia. While that is fine, the other 4 days a week we are providing original content, like Item of the Week, Concept Corner, Ability of the Week, etc. We would love someone who can make PKMN of the Week their own and make it more awesome. 

If you have other writing ideas, let us know. Here is what you gotta do! E-mail us at pokemonpodcast@me.com with the subject line of "hiring" and let us know about you. Write about yourself, provide us any links to personal blogs or work, and let us know why you want to help the site out!

Thanks! Let us know! And Good Luck!

NEW POKÉMON VIDEO GAMES SHATTER U.S. SALES RECORDS

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version Combine to Sell More Than 1 Million in a Single Day

REDMOND, Wash., March 8, 2011 – Two new Pokémon™ video games went on sale on March 6 and promptly shattered all previous U.S. Pokémon sales records. The Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems became the fastest-selling Pokémon video games of all time, selling more than 1.08 million units after just one day of availability. That surpasses the previous one-day sales record of more than 780,000 set by the Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version games in April 2007.

"Longtime Pokémon fans are attracted to the new Pokémon, new battle systems and a new region to explore, while newcomers enjoy the ability to jump in and have fun right away," said Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America's senior director of Corporate Communications. "These sales numbers illustrate the continued strength of the Nintendo DS family of systems. Already established as the nation's best-selling video game platform of all time, the installed base of more than 47 million makes it the ideal hand-held for developers to reach a huge gaming-focused target audience."

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version feature more than 150 new Pokémon for players to catch, train and battle. The never-before-seen Unova region gives players a whole new world to explore. For the first time in the series, in-game environments change with the four seasons. The games also introduce Triple Battles and Rotation Battles, which give players even more choices when battling.
