Second revision: I find Shirona's Theme/Battle sexcellent and the Galaxy admin fight decent as well.

Everything else needs some getting used to.

well, those pics look like pretty much the same GBA game to me, I wanna see stuff in action first... but I'm still getting it just cause you can trade pkmn over wifi

The Town and Route themes I don't mind at all. It's the Battle music that sounds too cutesy-poo.

Even Ruby/Sapphire had battles themes that sounded somewhat epic, but I might be stepping too far.

The best battle music was most defintely in the R/B/Y and G/S series, without question.

G/S had the best Gym/Elite 4 themes, without a doubt.

Either way, I don't mind. Pokemon has always had one of the best soundtracks on any Nintendo console/handheld, so I shouldn't be worrying.

I agree that Pokemon has always had a great soundtrack. It just takes some getting used to with them using new and different synth instrumentation with the advance of sound technology for handheld gaming.

I mean, R/B/Y and G/S were straight synth chiptunes, R/S and FR/LG expanded on this by giving it a more orchestral synth style (If you can call it that) by using things like synth brass, strings, and a timpani-like percussion.

I looked at that twice trying to figure out "why you'd turned your signature into a message" before I figured out what the hell was going on.

I'm incredibly slow today... XD

I'm thinking about not getting this one the more I hear about it. Unless they include a hard mode, I'm gone. That game is such a cakewalk it's scary, and each game gets easier. Gold and Silver were the last good ones. We'll see, though, you never know. XD

I dunno. Gold and Silver never caught my attention like the original did. As a result I never picked up Ruby/Saph or Firered/Leafgreen. Mystery Dungeon was the first Pokemon game I'd played in YEARS to be honest. I'm kind of looking forward to D/P if only because for once the game seems to finally "look" updated and seems to be a lot more intricate than what I was expecting. Here's hoping.

They were never difficult games, just somewhat lengthy.

Too lengthy in the case of Gold and Silver. I'm thinking of skipping Pokémon forever now after I heard there are a dozen fucking legendaries. Fuck that.

Same, but bigger. Just as expected from a new generation of Pokémon games. Apart from the internet multiplayer feature, it's just the same old game I once used to love but which has now become old and boring.

Sucks that Pokemon games are rehashes, but are so damn addicting.

I do believe you can actually breed one of them as well.

I understand Nintendo trying to vary the game's dynamics by making exceptions regarding the pokemon's stats and the like (Magnemite/ton being able to float so ground attacks are ineffective), but I think adding more legendaries defeats the purpose. You could basically build a team of all legendaries now.

I already have my Diamond version and Pearl version reserved. I can't wait. I was a little let down with Ruby and Sapphire, both were great games, but when I finally collected ALL the Pokemon (including Jirachi and Deoyxs) I was dissapointed when I showed the Pokedex to Prof. Birch and he didn't say anything cool. They should have something really cool happen.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Music Super Complete, found off of LJ.

jeansama is your hero, I'm just the messenger.

What luck, I was just coming in here to check if anyone had came across it yet. Goodies for me.

Question: has this got translated track lists? Or is it one of the Japanese versions I've seen?

I believe they're translated.

Well, then...thanks be to you and jeansama! (I've just got the music to Route 201 on my computer and let me just say it beats all the other games' first route music hands down - very short track though)

Wow, track 115 is tight.

*urge to trade FFIII and FFVA to pay for Diamond rising*

I have Pokemon Diamond preordered. :D

I'm getting it April 22. :)

I had no idea the game was coming out so soon. Only next month!

I was going to pre-order it today (doubt I'd find it on launch if I don't pre-order), but alas, I get off work at 7 and the malls close at 6 'cause it's Sunday. I got a free 1 hour off the phone coupon, which still doesn't do me any good. Booo...I'll go tomorrow then.

I'm gonna be picking up Diamond 'cause Scyther's exclusive in it. My little sister's getting Pearl. LeafGreen gets me Sandslash, and Sapphire gets me Seviper. I'm good to go :3

Oh, and apparently EB has a special stylus offer if you pre-order, but I don't think it applies to Canada. I'll have to check tomorrow.

What sucks is the inclusion of the time cycle again, though. Sure, it sounds like an awesome idea, but not when you're working! I'll have to get my sister to do stuff for me while I'm gone in the evening : /

P.S. Online trades and battles for the win.

Ho hum... scyther is exclusive in diamond? =/ Im getting pearl because my friend is getting diamond.

Wow, good thing I read this. I was avoiding info to not be spoiled, but Scyther is my favorite Pokemon, so that seals the deal on Diamond for me.
