I have put countless hours and much more money than I am likely to make back into my Pokémon news website, The Pallet Tribune and its corresponding podcast, WTPT.  Yet I feel very strongly that it is worth the investment of my time and money.  Whether it is a short e-mail from a listener expressing his or her gratitude, a small gift shipped overseas, or even the fact that someone would take an hour out of his or her week to listen to what I have to say, there are so many little quirks that make podcasting and blogging really rewarding.

Equally as astounding is the diverse mass of talent we have in our group of about 500 people who are active on the site and regularly listen to the podcast.  We have programmers, musicians, videographers and even professional graphic artists who continuously lend their talents to make the site and its community greater.

This time around, though, I will discuss one such talented individual: animator Kyle Carrozza or “TVsKyle” on the Pallet Tribune forums.  Kyle lives in Los Angeles, where he has created an animated short for Nickelodeon called MooBeard the Cowpirate and works as a story board artist for Danger Rangers.  At the forums, Kyle posts Pokémon fan art and other fun stuff, such as this illustration of yours truly.

As long as someone appreciates what we are doing with this fan site, I will do my best to keep it alive.  The internet—and, more importantly, the people on it—never cease to amaze me.
