In preparation for relaunch, a mysterious anime character appeared on the website in front of a series of coffins and teased that something big was coming (later revealed to be the new website). The text beneath the character displayed in Hebrew and Armenian, occasionally changing messages. Discussion of the character and what was happening spread to Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and other fan websites, with fans trying to decode the visual and textual clues in the image. The character was later revealed to be created by WPM and part of the new artist/storytelling program. Since then, PokéBeach's site banner is drawn by new artists every week, further progressing the fan story like a comic strip, introducing new characters, and advertising each of the artists and their portfolios to the general public. WPM stated in his grand opening video that as a filmmaker, he loved to tell stories and collaborate with others, and his renewed website was another outlet through which he could do this. | In preparation for relaunch, a mysterious anime character appeared on the website in front of a series of coffins and teased that something big was coming (later revealed to be the new website).

There is soon to be a mass resignation of staff thanks to the terrible leadership of WPM and SR. If the site makes it to 2018 people will be surprised. Also, there is a "top secret" wiki project being worked on for the site, though WPM is employing members of his site to do the work for him, unaware that they are being exploited. | |||
