Pokemon Battle

The gameplay footage seems to suggest that there will be an announcer making play-by-play commentary. I'm not sure how in-depth the commentary will be, per se, since I can't understand what the announcer's saying.

As for the area Gym Leadership, that would be news to me. It'd be a nice perk if the idea comes to fruition.

Anyway, I've already reserved this game and plan on picking up on Monday. I've been a fan of some of the 3-D Pokemon games, and I'd like to see what new modes need to be scaled in this particular version. Also, yay for WiFi!

It looks like Surfing Pikachu just got an upgrade.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ick, I also hate the Fortune Battles with an extreme passion. There's more than likely some way to time the selection, but the timing is definitely a hit-or-miss situation. I always wind up with a damn Kakuna if I don't get the timing down exactly right. I eventually grew tired of the one-sidedness and used a rental team instead of my normal team. The battles aren't nearly as quick, but at least I can scrounge up a victory if I don't get Pokemon that are all that great.

Anyway, I'll post a friend code later. I'm a wee bit busy working on Stargazer Colosseum Set 5.

Spoiler:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Stargazer Arena is getting really annoying to fight through without legendaries of my own. All of the leaders appear to be sporting legendaries in almost every single one of the available slots.

Anyway, I went ahead and looked at the trainer lists on serebii to make sure I wasn't caught off guard again. Sure enough, the final battle involves fighting through almost every uber in existence. Which ubers are used are determined by which copy of Diamond and Pearl is used. Luckily, I bought Pearl since the Pearl team seems a bit more... merciful than the Diamond team.

Spoiler:

I also put up my friend code in the GFWiki (made it nice and alphabetized too!). I haven't battled online yet, so please be patient with me if I'm not quite up to speed with everything when I'm challenged.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
