UPDATE NOTICE! This website will be undergoing some major updates, additions, and changes in the upcoming rest of 2008.


November 17, 2008

I have altered my affiliation scheme due to the large amount of boring websites. (I am sorry to those of you who may be offended by this.) A boring website is one that uses a lot of borrowed content from other sites, intended to cover up the fact that the main site actually has very little of its own. I have also reorganized my affiliates list, reversing the order and separating the affiliates with a lot of real content from the ones with less content. If you believe that your site has been incorrectly categorized or wish to affiliate, please send me an e-mail.

In addition to the new division, I have changed my rules for affiliation. To become a basic affiliate, the rules are still the same, but to become a top affiliate, read the revised rules. Thank you for your cooperation.


November 13, 2008

Today marks another pair of affiliates, both of which appear to be fairly new to the web and are hosted by Freewebs. Welcome, Pokemon Pwns and Tertwig Base!


November 9, 2008

A new section was created, dedicated to my cat, Patches. It's a LOLCat section, based on the popular Internet meme of the same name. If you have no idea what a LOLCat is, check out the official homepage, I Can Has Cheezburger.


November 8, 2008

This message is to say I am not dead, but rather am working on a large MIDI project, which I hope to complete before the end of the year. I've also got a new affiliate, Mario Central.


October 12, 2008

A couple small things...
First off, I'm addicted to Pokémon Platinum! Second, I bought two games over Virtual Console: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (SMB2J) and Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars.

Finally, I got a new affiliate, Cyndaquazy!


September 24, 2008

TWO affiliates in one day! Pokeshore and UnitedUniverse are the pair this time! Welcome to the club!


September 23, 2008

Sorry for another long delay; Pokémon Platinum is too awesome! (Yeah, I got that on the 15th.) Anyway, I've got a new forum, hosted on my own site this time, which should be up to speed now. Here it is:
New Forum


September 3, 2008

I am now working on a new section of my website! It will be a greatly extended Mario Paint section!


August 22, 2008

New MIDI! It's not Pokémon, though. This time it's the Angry Video Game Nerd.


August 18, 2008

A new affiliate was added. It's a Xanga site titled Pokémon Glow & Shimmer.


August 14, 2008

FINALLY! After 17 months, Pokémon PC (formerly Pokémon Box 2) had an update! Anyone with version 1, PLEASE update to version 2.3. I have also updated the Darkrai Stories page. There is yet another new page on the site: Anti-Anti-Pokémon. It is dedicated to those in defense of Pokémon fans against haters.


August 12, 2008

New affiliate! Not only is this an awesome site, but it's actually one I've visited for many years. The site is none other than We All Live In a Pokémon World! If you support Anti-Anti-Pokémon (against those that are against Pokémon), if you have been a long-time fan of Pokémon, or if you want to read some interesting articles, go ahead and give this site a visit. I highly recommend it!


August 9, 2008

33 more My Pokémon Ranch pictures were added.

In addition, I have a little thing I'd like to say. I am NOT going to make my site look like the twenty thousand other Pokémon sites that are based on the same CSS template. To see what I am referring to, look at Serebii's design. Then, go to some of my affiliates. About 80% of general Pokémon fan sites look like that. (If you still don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to how it's all a design with the pair of menus on the side, the banner on every page, and exact same throughout the whole site.) I'll probably keep working on the site to make it look better and more uniform, but it most likely will not look like those. Why? To be honest, it's boring if you go from site to site and they all look very similar.


August 2, 2008

Today, I have added another affiliate! It's The Mystery Dungeon, by Joltothunder.


July 30, 2008

Awesome news! Way back in November 2006, I created a forum for my website. It didn't really kick off, so I closed it and forgot about it until now. It may still have the old site name in the URL, but I'm not about to discard a fully-functional forum and start over from scratch just to get the URL changed. Here it is: Buizel.Net Forum


July 18, 2008

Hello, everybody! FINALLY, I have added some more error messages! In addition, I have added something from the popular SMBHQ, used with permission! It's the Pokémon Fan Purity Test (based on the original Mario Fan Purity Test).


July 2, 2008

VACATION! I'm off on vacation tomorrow, so I won't be able to respond to any e-mails until the 11th or later.


July 1, 2008

ANOTHER affiliate! Welcome Treeshroud Forest, whose name is a play on the name of a location in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2.


June 30, 2008

New splash! As visible on the home page, I've got a new splash screen, with the font based on Grand Theft Auto and The Price is Right.


June 29, 2008

Two affiliates in one day! Char Factor is the new one, being a large fan of one of my favorites, Charizard!


June 29, 2008

Guess what? Another affiliate, this time it is Raichu203's website, Thundershock!, which can now be found in the affiliates list.


June 19, 2008

Construction complete! Turns out I'm still on the same server, just with upgraded features.


June 18, 2008

WEBSITE CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION
Buizel.Net will be undergoing maintenance. This may involve changing servers. The website may go down in the following few days. Do not be alarmed, as this is normal; do not send me messages regarding the downtime, either. Thank you.


June 16, 2008

I've spent over 70 hours this last week playing a new WiiWare game, My Pokémon Ranch. Because of the game's ability to take pictures, I have added a new section, My Pokémon Ranch Gallery (under Pokémon).


June 5, 2008

More affiliates, yay! Blaze's Fiery Mountain, which has my old favorite Pokémon (Typhlosion) at the top, has joined the group.


June 3, 2008

Guess what? Another affiliate: Eevee Club House!


June 2, 2008

I was looking at the site today and realized that the Cbox isn't that great compared to a feature that comes with my development software I used to use, Microsoft FrontPage. (Now I use Microsoft Expression Web.) The feature is a message board builder. The new message board can be found on the menu to the left or lower in the page (or here).


May 30, 2008

As many of you probably already know, Toys 'R' Us across the United States are going to be distributing Darkrai for owners of Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl. Every copy of the game you have is eligible for a free Darkrai. The date is Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1. If you would like to share your story of the event, send me an e-mail. You can read the collection of stories on the Darkrai Stories page.


May 29, 2008

Yet another affiliate! I now have Caroline's Pokemon World as an official affiliate!


May 26, 2008

Get ready for a headache. I added two new sounds, a new video, and an annoying page, which are all related to Mudkip!


May 15, 2008

Now THIS is cool! The next main-series Pokémon game, Pokémon Platinum (ポケットモンスター プラチナ) has been announced! The official site (in Japanese) is at http://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/platinum/
Pokémon Platinum, ポケットモンスター プラチナ


May 13, 2008

This time I've affiliated with a Buizel website, which is Buizel's Island!


May 12, 2008

Wow! I've been getting affiliates at a fast rate! Yet another Pokémon site was added, this time at Pokemon Rox!. Welcome to the group!


May 11, 2008

As you may have already noticed, the layout of this page has changed significantly, including the font and organization. I think it's nicer this way than before.


May 11, 2008

Wow! Another affiliate! It is a nice Pokémon fan fiction website, which can be found at Pokémon Fictions.


April 27, 2008

More great news! In addition to more SSBB pictures, I have yet another affiliate. This time it is Random City!


April 19, 2008

HAPPY FLOATZEL DAY!!! Today is 4/19/08 (Floatzel is #419 in the National Pokédex). Because I had some old sounds files I recorded from the animé sitting around on my hard drive, I decided to make a place for them: a Pokémon Sounds page. Hopefully, as time goes by, I will be able to add more to this page.

More great news! I officially have an affiliate. As you can see (if you have frames on) in the menu to the left, there is a new icon. This links to Salamence's Tower. Thank you, Levus, for becoming an affiliate!

Finally, I haven't really had much of any time to work on Pokémon Box 2. It's just been a project that I keep forgetting about. I REALLY want to work on it and get it up before next school year. Maybe I'll find some time.


April 18, 2008

HAPPY BUIZEL DAY!!! Today is 4/18/08 (Buizel is #418 in the National Pokédex). In honor of today, I have added some Buizel pics to the ブイゼル (Buizel) page!


April 14, 2008

I've got another treat from The Rise of Darkrai available! It's a MIDI (complete with lyrics) of We Will Be Heroes.


April 11, 2008

I've taken quite a few pictures inside of SSBB, so I have added a gallery! See it here.


March 31, 2008

I finally have Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I have added my Friend Code to the GameFAQs page. It is 0731-4763-3668.


March 14, 2008

HAPPY PI (π) DAY! Anyway, I got around to fixing up the menu to the left (in Frames mode). I hope you think it looks better now.


March 8, 2008

Now I have a real treat for you. It seems after browsing the Internet for a while, a lot of people want a MIDI for the song "Oración" from The Rise of Darkrai. So, here's a link to the page!


March 6, 2008

Well, a number of people have requested I do this, so I added download links to some of my compositions in Mario Paint Composer. Check 'em out here!


February 26, 2008

I guess it would be in my good interest to actually put a link to a page I put up a long time ago. Here's the link: GameFAQs Info. Its location is lower on this page.


February 25, 2008

IMPORTANT NEWS!! The site was removed once for copyright infringement. Several sections have been removed from the website--permanently, including the episodes and The Rise of Darkrai. Sorry for the inconvenience.


February 24, 2008

The Rise of Darkrai in English is now up for download!


February 9, 2008

You can get more episodes now.


February 7, 2008

More episodes, get them here.


February 6, 2008

I have now started to add some episodes to the website. The first one I have is Buizel Your Way Out Of This, which can be found here.


February 3, 2008

Well, I've added something new to the site: an article about the story of Pokémon in the US. Read it here.


February 2, 2008

NEW DOMAIN NAME!!! Mario Minus World now has a new domain name: Buizel.Net! It should work for the next year, at least. And I've officially retired the old name. The site will no longer be referred to as Mario Minus World ANYMORE! I'll still keep up this MIDI for a while though; Bob-omb Battlefield and the credits are two of my favorite songs.


February 1, 2008

SITE MAINTENANCE WILL OCCUR THIS WEEKEND! The site may experience some downtime while it is worked on.


January 24, 2008

Okay, I added a really funny item to the Pokémon media section. It's titled "The Pokémon versus Homework" and...well, you can guess what it's about. And you can see it here.


January 23, 2008

Bui Bui! I've officially added a subtitle to the site, named after my favorite Pokémon, and I've also (actually) updated the Images page with some more of my favorites, here. The subtitle is "The Land of Buizel." If you're wondering who Buizel is, here's your answer:


January 13, 2008

Happy holidays and a happy New Year's! I know it's been a while, but I did get more errors! Yes, work is continuing on Pokémon Box 2. I see a release soon, but I'm not sure when. I have been quite busy. Also, there is a new moment regarding Christmas and a slew of new rumors.


November 13, 2007

I'm not dead. It's just been a while since my last update. I'll add some new errors soon.


September 23, 2007

I've got a new Turtwig video up in the Pokémon Media section. I forgot to mention this earlier, but I completed the Pokédex on July 27, 2007.


September 9, 2007

I added more Mario Paint compositions and I'm still working on Pokémon Box 2.


August 11, 2007

Another month without updates! Last week, I went to Tampa, Florida for a wedding. I added two new pages: a main Mario page, and a page to host my Mario Paint compositions.


July 9, 2007

Sorry, it's been a month since I have updated. I've hit San Diego, CA for SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, and the Wild Animal Park. I've also been playing Gran Turismo for the PlayStation and Pokémon Pearl. Coming soon: Pokémon Box 2 v2!


June 10, 2007

Finally, school's out! There are some new error messages. And I finally fixed up the Pokémon Video page to make it look like the Mario one, which needs more content. Other than that, the only real update is the Pokémon Moments page.


May 27, 2007

There are now PLENTY of new error messages (Go straight there). In addition, I added a video about how Skitty can breed with Wailord in Ruby/Sapphire and up (last video). Here is a YouTube link.


May 23, 2007

Well, I added a new moment to the Pokémon Moments page, and in Pearl my Pokédex is up to 339 caught (404 seen). Pretty soon, I'm going to be updating the error page, as I do have quite a few new error messages.


May 15, 2007

Alright, it's been a while. Pokémon Pearl kept me busy with me trying to fill the Pokédex (this will take a while). Anyway, I added a new page in the Pokémon section: "Pokémon Moments." There, you can see recent strange and weird event that have occurred recently that were related to Pokémon.


April 21, 2007

I am moving to a new development computer today and still need to install Microsoft Office and FrontPage. In addition, I am not going to be updating for a while, except for errors, possibly. Why? Because I'm picking up Pokémon Pearl tomorrow and I'm going to be playing that for a while.


April 11, 2007

I have added a link to my errors page on this page (and of course I've added errors). There were also a couple typos on the site that I found. For some reason, the news from April 8th did not appear on this page or the archive, so here it is: The Pokémon page now has a sample question from my poll and the home page now has keyword references.


April 8, 2007

The Pokémon page now has a sample question from my poll and the home page now has keyword references.


April 5, 2007

I updated the website statistics, which can be accessed from the bottom of this page. In addition, for the text portion of the links below, they now actually go to the page.


April 1, 2007

I finally fixed up the programming page with individual program pages and removed a bit of the junk. I also added my favorite error of all time to the bottom of the error page. I saw it on April 25, 2006 on a school computer that failed at startup. APRIL FOOLS!


April 1, 2007

I finally fixed up the programming page with individual program pages and removed a bit of the junk. I also added my favorite error of all time to the bottom of the error page. I saw it on April 25, 2006 on a school computer that failed at startup. Oh, and if you want illegal copies of Microsoft Office 2007, Flash CS3, Adobe Photoshop, and Cakewalk Sonar HS 6, click here.


March 30, 2007

Finally, it's Spring Break! I fixed up the Flash movie on the home page, as well as some of the elements on it. I added several more errors, including a Spanish one. The table below was added because some people don't know what the program image links to, so this shows each. And I found out that the compression problems with some of the PNG images was not from IrfanView, but from Adobe PhotoDeluxe. Just yesterday, my Nintendo Power came in and I've been anxiously awaiting Pokémon Diamond and Pearl!


March 18, 2007

technogeek00 has sent in one of the fake methods to receive Mew. Thank you.


March 14, 2007

I finally got that Flash movie on the front page! Because of a small sound conflict, I had to move the music here, to the main page. And I also found a few problems with the PNG image compressor in IrfanView, because a few computers I used as test computers showed a big black square. The images were a few error messages, now fixed (I think). E-mail me if any more errors are messed up.


March 12, 2007

The Pokémon page has had some significant updates. There is now a Pokémon fake rumors page and a page for how to get Mew...the real way! I found some old information, so expect some more updates there. I added a few more errors, as well.


March 6, 2007

You can now see site statistics, where I put some information on the statistics of the website. The link is below the hit counter. Currently, only December 2006 to February 2007 information is available.


March 5, 2007

The forum has been shut down because almost nobody used it. It may be restored if Mario Minus World becomes popular enough. I, the webmaster, did this, not Forumer. Also, try visiting this site: supermarioworld.50megs.com. This was my testing page, where I tried things out before they hit this site.


February 25, 2007

I added a links page, which can be seen near the bottom of this page. There are some of my favorite websites on the list. You can even get your own site added there! And, for once, I have fixed up the Mario video page and added 3 new videos! A few new errors were added, as well.


February 24, 2007

I noticed that the hit counter reset itself for some reason, so I added the 400 previous hits. The Pokémon page now has a link to a poll I set up.


February 22, 2007

All I did was add 13 new errors. I'm also planning on making a Flash movie to put on the home page instead of the banner above. And, a newer Mario video page. This site will slowly get more content. 


February 15, 2007

Happy Valentine's Day. Anyway, I added a few more errors. And the Anything Else page was fixed up by removing all the unnecessary tables, reducing its size. So was the programming page...sorta. I still need to put a REAL table there, which should drop it size below 48 KB.


February 11, 2007

I added the frame selection page for the home page. This is for people with those browsers that don't support frames, like for cell phones, console browsers (like the PSP), and some of those freeware ones on the Internet. The next task is fixing the programming page (and sub-pages). Currently, it is a whopping 139 KB (This is annoying over dial-up!), and I am going to put a nice new table there. The same will happen to the two MIDI pages. Finally, I fixed the copyright date for Mario items (Donkey Kong Arcade, anyone?).


January 31, 2007

I have added frames and plan to leave it like this. Soon, I will add a frame selector page. You can simply director your Internet browser to http://www.mariominusworld.com/Index2.htm until then. A significant number of error messages were added, as well. I am working on a new banner for the home page, and I am still picking colors. More pages will be added later, such as Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, new programs, Flash movies/games, New Super Mario Bros., Mario images, and more! Stay tuned for updates.


January 5, 2007

>>>NEW SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION<<< The new site will use frames. I will choose a better color scheme and redesign some pages. News section added.


January 4, 2007

Google: the most popular Internet search engine! Searching for 'Mario Minus World' (no quotes) yields this site 7th on the list. "Mario Minus World" (with quotes) gets it...1st! 'MarioMinusWorld' (no quotes) yields it 3rd--but wait! The two hits higher, both from GameSpot, are my own posts on their message board!


December 3, 2006

Cats section removed due to fact that it would hardly get any hits. I also have a REAL forum, hosted by Forumer.


July 23, 2006

Mario Minus World is officially on the Web! Come all who like Mario, Pokémon, programming, or cats.
