Heh, that's about right. The good thing is, at least we know the general timeframe for these games to be released. Hopefully we have the Black DS lite by then.
Anyone have any special reason for getting one version over the other, regardless of how trivial it may be? Personally, I always pick the one with Sandshrew in it. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
Holy Chocobo |
Those are some really freaky looking creatures. I'm almost speechless just looking at them. And not a good kind of speechless. As for the list of creatures to appear in the new game, when will we finally see the baby form of Kangaskan become something besides a child in a pouch? Never? Crap.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
As for Diamond and Pearl, I think my little sister said she's going to get Pearl, in which case I'll get Diamond. We only have one DS between us though, so we couldn't trade even if we wanted to. I personally doubt the games will be world wide wi-fi compatible. I got Sapphire for Seviper :D
I was speaking idiomatically. |
As for me, I would rather have Diamond, just because the name and the boxart seem cooler to me than Pearl. Regardless, I just want to have the opposite version of whatever my sister gets. She wanted Diamond at first too, but I was able to persuade her to change to Pearl. Hopefully she'll stay like that when the games come out! Most amazing jew boots |
I just don't really care about "this one has this pokemon" anymore. I'm not invested in the series like I once was. I just play them because they're good RPGs. FELIPE NO |
This is the info about Wi-Fi that I got from pocketmonsters.net:
- This is going to be like Animal Crossing. You can't "play" against stranger like in MKDS, Tetris or MPH because it won't have a "regional/worldwide" match setup. ...maybe. <_< What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
That's still not too bad, and it's certainly better than nothing. In fact, I think I would rather have it like this for a game of this nature, because I could see random strangers wanting to disconnect more if they were in a losing situation. This seems less likely to happen if you're fighting against someone you know to some degree (like, let's say, someone from GFF for example), as I doubt that they would want to be labled as a disconnector.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
OMG, we can trade monsters online?! Awesome news for me. This would be a must have reason to get the game.
I hope there's some new monsters leaked out soon. I don't like any I've seen so far : / There's nowhere I can't reach.

I agree, it would be extremely convenient. I always hated having to use the Link Cable AND trying to find someone else who was willing to trade. Wi-fi is making everything so much more simple. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Here's a promo video/commercial that aired in Japan for Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. Basically it confirms Wi-Fi internet battles. Oh, and check out the yellow spiked pokemon in the video. Electabuzz evolution maybe?

Cool commercial. Thanks. That supposedly Electabuzz evolution is actually pretty nice, compared to all the the monsters I've seen so far. Back before I found out about it, I once thought Torkoal was Slugma's final evolution, so that monster may actually be separate from Electabuzz.
Online play. Best news I've heard all day! I was speaking idiomatically. |
Online play was a given. Nintendo would the most stupid company alive if they didn't include it.
Oh and yes, that does looks like an Electabuzz evolution, or at least looks very similar. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Gotta be an Electabuzz-based thingamajigger. How ya doing, buddy? |
Stumbling around GAF I found a Pokemon Wiki with quite a few videos, so people can get a better idea of what this game looks like. The commercial's quality is kind of wonky, thanks t youtube.
http://www.pokewiki.de/Pok%C3%A9mon_...d_Pearl/Videos 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. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even.

That squirrel looks like it's the bastard child of the Pikachu family or something. It's bad enough we already have Pluse whatever and Minun. Blah, can't spell.
How ya doing, buddy? |
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. |
Uh, I'm guessing because that just ruins the rock, paper, scissor chain.
And that squirrel was confirmed to be just electric.. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

that last one kinda breaks the chain of small weak and cute looking too, I don't think it's a starting pokemon.
Most amazing jew boots |
Wow... that scorpion thing is really fucking lame. At least the two boxart pokemon make up for it.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I wouldn't be surprised at all of the last one was a Grass/Poison type or something... Kinda like Bulbasaur.
Middle one looks like your fire type... No other combo I could tell from that. Top one looks like your Chinchou combo of Lightning/Water. Most likely, they're not gonna break the chain. This time, they're probably not going to make it as obvious. But if there's anything they've completely broken in the chain of starter Pokemon, it's this. Making all of them look cute. That last one is far from winning a cute competition. Most amazing jew boots |
Wow, for some reason (probably just pose), the Electabuzz relative looks like a wierd Electabuzz/Pinsir hybrid to me. Honestly though, I think its probably an alternate evolution to Elekid, instead of a stage 3.
- WraithTwo - What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Those are some interesting clips. One thing about the original promo that threw me a bit was when he used the stylus to put a crown on top of the "squirrel" type. Must be a new variation to the ribbon system.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Guys, those are NOT starters.
They're random earligame Pokemon. The starters were supposed to be revealed today, but no dice. Also the anime for Diamond/Pearl is supposed to start likely the same day D/P comes out... ...and it doesn't have Ash. Can we say POSSIBLE WIN? 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. |
