[DS] How do you get 3,000 pikachus on a bus? POKEMON!

Meh, I don't dig those Legendaries, but then, I'm only looking at a sprite. I will wait til I see official artwork before I made a decision. Oh, and that cat is the best looking cat I've seen since Meowth/Persian. It's sure got some really floofy tail.

I'm also digging that new monster that looks like it came from the same family as my fave dinosaur, the Triceratops.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

WTF is this? It looks either like a big-eyed hippo...or some crazy looking gator with it's nose in the wrong place.
Oh...never mind. It's name is Hippopotasu. It's pretty obvious what it is now.

I'd love to see a new shark or a gator monster. Sharpedo severely disappointed me with its crappy 'Sunfish' backside. I want a FULL shark, not HALF a shark!


Yanma's new evo looks quite nice.

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

Hey wow, that looks pretty cool. It's not a water shark, but it's still quite nice, especially its evos. The basic form looks a lot like Mudkip to me.

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

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Any chance of getting this game on Friday or Saturday? I work on Sunday and the store will be closed long before my shift is over :(

Who has pretty shinies? I have Spearow, Fearow and Furret :D Really happy about Furret, and I got them all in LeafGreen. I've never found a single Shiny until LG, believe it or not.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I wished they violated street date in my area. Waiting til Monday evening before I can get it sucks, and I preordered it too I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they'd call me tomorrow or Saturday. Wish me luck!

Nooooo! The Running Shoes were a god-send for me, and you're saying it's not much faster than normal walking in D/P?

Vs. Seeker! Yay!

I'm going with Turtwig for my Starter. My little sister is getting Pinlup. Since she is going to be the girl trainer, I'll be the guy. Both characters look pretty crappy though. What sensible kid wears a beret?

I also convinced my older sister to pick it up tomorrow for me. YAY!!! I also save a bus token too :3

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't know about anyone else, but this mode sounds fun.

Also, I don't go EV-training 'cause it's too much effort and it's way too boring, so I'm probably gonna lose in online battles. Oh well. I'll still try some, 'cause it's fun.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Everyone's too busy playing to post, I see.

Am I the only one who keeps pressing Start for the menu 'cause every other Pokémon game used Start? It's hard to get used to X now :(

Riku's a Grotle now :3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What route is Pachirisu in, and is it available day or night? I didn't see a single one when I played last night and I can only play for an hour in the morning. I work 11-7, which takes off a huge chunk of the day. Pick-Up is the best darn ability ever. Back when I played Sapphire, I had an entire team of Linoones picking up awesome items while training a teammate. They sure saved me a lot of money, I can tell you that.

At least you can change nicknames later. Wheee...

I got a cute little Buizel on my team. My little sister traded it over along with a Bidoof. They ignores me of course, (I forgot about that) but I do the switcharoo to level them up in the meantime.

Note: if I battle with other people, will my traded Pokémon still refuse to obey me if I don't have the right badges?

Oh, and I tried that accessorizing thing today. It's so cute! I dressed up Raine (my Buizel) and hung it up. If I mix records, I can see photos other people made. I want to see yours! ^_^ I haven't gotten a Friend Code yet. I'll set it up tonight :3

P.S. Can you make more than one photo?

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

Ah I see. I was at the place you mentioned this morning on the way to work, but I had to quit as it was near my stop. Guess I won't get the buggers until tomorrow then, but I'll try tonight also and see if they show up.

Run-Away sucks. It also sucks that Furret has that ability and not Pick Up. In real life, ferrets love to steal things not nailed down and hide them somewhere else, so they would've been perfect for Pick Up. Bah.

As for decent psychics, I think my little sis said a NPC offered to trade his/her Abra for a Machop. I saw a Psyduck in the cave close to the town with the first gym. Never used them but people say Golduck is awesome, so there you go.

OMG Thanks!!!!

Okay I am confused about something though, concerning the Pal Park or whatever it's called.

From what I stated earlier, I have five Linoones in Sapphire that I use for Pick Up. I gave them all four letter 'Z' names, like Zero, Zack, etc. I want to bring them to Diamond for item hoarding. Sure, I can use those squirrels, but my Linoones are special to me >_> I select them one at a time and they end up in the Pal Park, right? Then I have to go running around the park and attempt to catch all five? Then once caught, I can now use them whenever I want?

Oh and I caught two of those squirrels. They're pretty uncommon at night apparently, and both fortunately had Pick Up. I got Great Balls and Super Potions so far.

I want a Shiny Sandslash/Sandshrew so bad. Hopefully someone at GTC can trade me one. I got a Shiny Spearow and Fearow that I can give up. My Shiny Furret is off limits though ^_^

P.S. What Pokémon can learn Rock Smash and Cut? I need a HM slave!

Weird. I see mostly Buizels in that area, and rarely any of those Pachies and Sluggies.

Quote:

I'm gonna guess that Bidoof is a good HM slave. It doesn't seem to be of much other use. Kricketot can learn Rock Smash and should be able to use Cut also, so that's also an option.

I checked a pokedex at GameFAQs after you mentioned names, and wow, Kricketune is a better HM Slave than Bidoof, being able to learn Flash, Cut, Strength AND Rock Smash. Thanks for the help! Bidoof only knows Cut and Rock Smash.

Oh, and thanks for the Pal Park help too.

P.S. Aww just found out mixing records doesn't work on WFC. I would've liked to see other people's dressed up monsters :(

If nobody helps you by tonight, then I will help you. I won't be able to help until like, 9pm or so EST though. my FC is 1117-6710-9565.

P.S. Do I need the National Dex to be able to do this?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It always was.

Oh, and you can get EXP Share right below Eterna City :3

Update: Booo! Someone beat me to it :(

You can't. It's tied to your ID number. My little sister's image is of an old lady. Haha that was hilarious. Mine is a geeky-looking green-haired guy >_>

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah well, I dunno. That's how it was in previous games. Is it possible to go back to that town and get asked the same question? I'd like to change my avatar if I could. Green hair >_>

Update: D'oh. Already answered >_> This thread is moving too fast!

How ya doing, buddy?

I'll update the Wiki page tonight, but I think only mods can edit other people's posts.

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

Because everyone else is flocking there. D/P just came out. It's only natural for fans to head over to high established sites for further information. Expect Serebii to be sloooow for a while.

As an alternative, go to GameFAQs.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I was bored and wanted to post something, so sue me ^_^

Tonight isn't really busy (I'm at work) and I'm just hanging out in here.

I never bother with EV training. Does that make me bad?

I tried the underground and digging for crap is fun, but yeah, no WFC mode -_-; That sucks. No WFC contests either >_>

FELIPE NO

Well, the main point of having to beat the game first before you can transfer is so that you'll actually use the new Pokémon. What's the point of introducing new monsters if you're not going to use them right at the start?

Anyway, I added everyone's FCs to Wiki. I don't think I missed anyone, but I could be wrong >_> Chaotic, I don't know what version you have, so I left it blank.

One question. I got this Friendly/Happ/whatever app for the Tech, and I have no clue how it works. All I see are my Pokémon floating around and bumping into each other...

Oh, and I made Poffins with my little sister! It's fun!!

Oh and yeah!! Raine won first place in the Cute contest! She's my Buizel ^_^

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Kairyu helped me in fixing my DS connection problem. I don't know if it fixed the problem 100%, but I did successfully manage to connect with him for one battle in which I lost miserably, simply because I had only 3 Pokémon in training. I managed to annihilate Curry and Archer though, before my team finally succumbed.

I just picked up a new teammate today though, and for that, I have a question. How do you evolve Gastly again? >_> I know you have to trade, but I forgot if Gastly evolves to Haunter naturally and then you trade to get Gengar, or if you have to trade twice to get both Haunter and Gengar.

I updated Wiki today with new FCs.

About the Friendship tech thing, I feel stupid now. I sometimes forget that I can touch the bloody screen >_> My Grotle loves me :3

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yah yah, thanks ^_^ I couldn't check myself 'cause I'm at work :3

I love Gengar! It kicks so much arse ^_^ I have a Gengar beanie :3

Random quote of the day:
"You're killing me with cuteness! XD"
Kairyu (when battling him)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
