Another cancelled game that got a cover.  Shame this one never came out.

For consistency reasons (and the fact that it screws up the chronologic listing) this should probably be renamed issue 20 (it's issue 8 of volume 2).

Pages 107-115 are missing.  Also there's a little warping on the ad on page 67.

I'm glad this era of NP is finally here since my issues from this period are so jam packed into the magazine holder I put them in that I can't take them out without partially destroying them.  This is what I get for putting all my NP stuff in a single holder, 11 year old me wasn't very interested in preservation.

The link to the hi-res version isn't working

I don't think I've ever seen this magazine before in my life.  Was it exclusive to some retailer or something?

What in the everloving fuck is that duck thing supposed to be

I remember some kid at my summer program reading this back when it was blowing up.  I only remember the Pokemon Times part, I thought that was completely different from Pokemon Power.

Edit: On page 10 it says you can trade a "Kung-Foo" for a "Spectre".  Not only were these the prerelease names for Machoke and Haunter, those were only in the Japanese Blue version.  It's obvious they were working with a beta while writing this ("The Brock wants to fight!").

Was this one of the last issues that had the subscriber page?  I don't remember exactly when they got rid of that.

This was the second issue I ever bought (the September 2000 Gold & Silver issue being the first).  It's funny how excited for the Final Fantasy movie they all were.

I think I found a copy of this at my old middle school library (or a different issue from 1999) where the WWF Attitude ad on the back was replaced with a page where it said something like "This ad was too much for some people, go online to see it in full" or something to that degree.  Was this a difference in the retail and subscriber copies or was it something completely different?

I remember getting this issue when it came out and being disappointed at how few reviews were in it compared to normal.  Then again it's pretty silly of me to be reading GamePro for the reviews anyway.

I think this is the first issue of this I had that had the picture puzzles.  Probably still have it in my basement.

Yep, this was the first issue of this I bought.  I remember the different versions of PaRappa and the Onimusha Warlords guide quite vividly, but the reason I bought it was for the Paper Mario coverage.  Thanks!
