Welcome to Marriland.com!
Welcome to Marriland.com, the home page of Marriland. From here, you can navigate all sites in the Marriland network, such as Pokemon.Marriland.com, the popular Pokemon super-site complete with info on Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, including a Pokedex, Walkthrough, and even some videos!

Who is Marriland, you ask? Well, that would be me, the person writing this text, and this site is my creation. I'm certainly not your typical 19-year old, unless designing massively popular web sites and building advanced web programs and databases is considered typical.

Marriland.com started in the year 2000, as a Pokemon fan site, but has since evolved into a massive community that offers more than just Pokemon information.


Here are the different areas of Marriland.com:
Pokemon.Marriland.com - Diamond Pearl central
Pokemon.Marriland.com

Pokemon.Marriland.com (PMC for short) is the official Pokemon site of Marriland, and one of the largest and most complete Pokemon sites on the web! It offers incredible coverage on Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, including a powerful Pokedex for getting info on all of the new Pokemon, the most comprehensive Walkthrough you will find for Diamond and Pearl, pictures, videos, and so much more! Plus, PMC also offers tons of information on the newest and hottest Pokemon TCG sets, such as EX: Power Keepers and it will cover the upcoming Diamond and Pearl TCG set! It doesn't end there, either! There are stat calculators, buddy icons, avatars for Forums and other sites, wallpapers, and so much more!



The Marriland Forums
Marriland Forums

The Marriland Forums are very large, active Forums, with a wide assortment of various topics to discuss. Although the Forums are mainly tailored to Pokemon fans, anyone will be able to enjoy them and the non-Pokemon related Forums inside, too! But these Forums are far beyond other Forums out there - there are items and points for you to collect, pets that you can raise, and even a virtual battle system! There's so much to do at the Marriland Forums and so many friendly people there, making it a great cure for a boring day!



Marriland Oekaki
Marriland Oekaki

Oekaki is a Japanese word for doodle, but the term has grown to be used by many popular online drawing applications, particularly in Japan. The Marriland Oekaki is a place where you can draw art right on the spot and have it shown to other people! It's a very fun pastime, and if you're a talented artist and familiar with computer drawing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, The GIMP, or even MS Paint, you'll find that the Oekaki applets provide a similar drawing experience! If you're new to Oekakis, stop by the doodle board for some practice, and once you've got the hang of it, head over to the main Oekaki board to draw your masterpieces! JavaScript and Java applets are required in order to use the Oekaki!

But that's not all!
The following sites are sites that I'm a part of, or really feel like promoting. (These sites are all third-party sites and I take no responsibility for any offensive language or content that may be shown on them. Although I try to keep everything clean to the best of my ability, some things may be beyond my control.)

Marriland's deviantART
I like to draw stuff in my idle time, and this is usually where I put it. I mainly draw Pokemon art, but there's some other things thrown in there for good measure.


Pokédorks Pokemon Art Club
My favorite group of Pokemon artists on the web, and most certainly on deviantART! The Pokedorks are extremely active with over 100 members, 800 art pieces in the Gallery (with more in each member's gallery), and totally awesome contests! If you feel like gawking at some really nice Pokemon art, or, better yet, joining this fine club and to share your art with other Pokemon fans, definitely stop by the Pokedorks! If you join, also be sure to mention that Marriland referred you.


DBZ Dimension
The official Dragonball Z site of Marriland.com, run by PokeMama (known as DBZMama on there). There's tons of awesome DBZ content there, including some of PokeMama's very own DBZ art gallery with over 500 drawings!


TIY's Pokemon Events
Where do I hang out every Saturday? Tomorrow is Yesterday, in Rockford, Illinois, of course! TIY (short for Tomorrow is Yesterday) holds weekly Pokemon TCG tournaments and leagues. TIYPokemon.com will give you all of the details, and will also let you know whenever a major tournament such as a State or Regional Championship is going on in town! Be sure to check it out, especially if you live in the northern Illinois area!
