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

So they're finally making differences between female and male pokemon? This might be a little interesting. I just hope it wont become imbalanced. Like a female pokemon lacking the moves of a male pokemon or a male pokemon lacking an ability of the female pokemon.. They should be the exact same.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's some artwork of what appears to be the 3 starters. I doubt it though, since one is Water Squirrel, the other is plant and the last one is Rock/Poison. Boxart, too.

Um, it isn't a water squirrel. It's an electric squirrel. The scorpion thing is poison/dark too. Weren't you the one who posted that info as well? Unless that squirrel is water/electric. >_>

And you never know, they could be the starters. It would be different for them not to go with the normal water/grass/fire starters but in the last games they were not entirely water/grass/fire either. They were combinations. Why not have electric/grass/posion?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, it uses the female trainer of D/P instead. Double win. ;D

I rather like her looks better than the male. There's just something about him that seems.. odd. The beret, perhaps?

Anyways I heard you will be able to use your old GBA cartridges to get your old pokemon in Diamond/Pearl. Is this true? If it is these games will rock even more. I so hated having to wait till I beat the E4 in games like Emerald and transfering over that gay link cable. ; ;

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

Well, you can still go to message boards or chatrooms where people have posted thier codes. So you could kind of get those random battles. Just.. ask random people for thiers.

But wouldn't the friend code method be better anyways? Now you dont have to worry about things like being matched up with someone who has a gamesharked level 100 mew with max stats. >_>

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

Well, last I heard (I think someone has said this on GFF.. but I can't remember) the guy who originally designed the first 150 pokemon stepped down sometime ago. Ran out of ideas around Johto or something? I'm not really sure. Now the guy only designs the humans for the games. But the one creating these new pokemon is a different person now. So you probably wont get very many that look like the older ones or any designs as good as the older ones.

I do agree with you though. After Johto the pokemon they have come up with took a real dive. I can only count a handful of pokemon I liked from the R/S/E games.

Atleast these new starters actually resemble real animals in some ways. Like alot of the first 150 did. I think it's alot better that way than coming up with these random, wierd creatures that make no sense.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, the female has a G on her back so I assume she's part of Team Galaxy. So she wouldn't be a rival.. right?

How ya doing, buddy?

You can do that in Emerald so.. I wouldn't be surprised if you could re-challenge the gym leaders in D/P.

FELIPE NO

Whoah, I see another branch evolution for Kirlia. I'm guessing the whole male/female pokemon looking different thing means that Gardevoir will end up being female only and this new one will be male only? ;| Or could that be Gardevoir.. only male.

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

God this needs to come out over here NOW. I don't want to wait till spring. =(

..It's coming out in the spring, right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I knew I should of reserved this but I waited too long and now ebgames has no more for reserves. I have to try and get there early and grab one of the few extras they said they'll have if I want it on sunday. :/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just got Pearl today so I only have a level 14 Piplup and a level 4 Shinx..

It's great fun though. I've been wanting to get this for so long. I had enough of Emerald.

My friendcode is 3780 5516 8329. Maybe I'll meet one of you on there.. Just bear with me, I'm still new ;D

Btw, do you seriously have to beat the game to transfer pokemon from the GBA games? I was hoping to use some pokemon from there to start off. Like a ralts.. :/

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

Well that just sucks.. So much for the idea of using my old favorite pokemon.

Ask for an egg? Could you explain that to me more? I don't really understand, sorry.

If I can ask for an egg of a ralts or something then cool. ;D

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well I plan to use the new pokemon.. I just want a ralts on my team since it's one of my favorite. D:

I guess I'll have to try this egg thing and find someone to help.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I wonder if it will really work.. Well, If anyone here has a Ralts egg id be gratefull for the help. Though I don't have much to offer in return.. since I just started. ._.

Guess I better ask in that huge ass thread too.

FELIPE NO

Wow, the egg thing does work. I was able to get like multiple ralts eggs over wifi.

This kicks ass. I'm loving this Wifi thing. I need to get that first badge and try the global trading.

How ya doing, buddy?

It is indeed a fake. Nothing but a photoshop.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm wondering what to use for flying. I want to be able to use the Fly HM whenever I want but don't wanna use an HM slave. :/

The majority of the pokemon who can learn fly are not that great.. or are difficult to get a hold of.

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

I finally got some Feebas and am now breeding eggs from them.. if anyone wants one. D: I only have one egg right now.. but if you give me the time I can make more.

Speaking of which, I just hatched three lovely Totodiles (the fourth is mine), two adorable females and one equally adorable male, and they are in need of good homes, if you'd like to have them. Of course, these are no ordinary Totodiles, for they all have the awesome Dragon Dance. That's right. Who wouldn't want a Totodile with Dragon Dance? I can do trades tonight if you want to have one. Just tell me what gender you want and what you want to call them. First come first served.


Please take me home.

P.S. If you want a Dusk, Shiny or Dawn stone, I'll attach it to the Totodile. I have at least 10 of each >_>

I'm interested in one.. but what do you want in return? Even better if it has a Dusk stone on it. :d

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

Nah, doesn't need a name. Female would be better but male is okay too.
