Pokémon Diamond & Pearl

[kosterz]

I like the squirrel. And they better have pikachus and lots of them, so I can tak ethe squirrel and rape pikachus with it.

 

[Mega Flare]

i hope there are more eevve(cant spell it) evolitions like one with grass stone and others types like steels

 

[SporksAreMyFriends]

Meh, that squirrel is going to end up being as common as Pigey/Ratata/ZigZagoon. At least it's electric though. Ruby/Sapphire had very few electric Pokemon.

Would it be dumb to pay $120 for a DS just for this game?:P

 

[Giarc Maj]

Well, that depends... Are there any other games of interest to you on the DS? If so, then buy a DS Lite. This way, you can get Diamon or Pearl, and if they're other games you'll like, you can get those as well.

 

[SporksAreMyFriends]

Well, I'm a nintendo fanboy, so I'll probably end up with a bunch of Mario and Zelda games too. =P

 

[Mega Flare]

yeah im geting a DS for this game and for a few other like the 2 FF games coming out for it

 

[Knight of Elcar]

Wow, looks better than I thought! I've been a fan of the Pokemon games since the days of Blue and Red. Good times with that game. And I'm glad to see it will be Wi-Fi (from what I saw in the japanese package).

the map doesnt look to bad

 

[JonoSasson]

It all looks awesome, looking forward to it for sure!

Ooh...I just noticed something on Serebii.net...

It's info from the official site, but it's not confirmed...

The starters might be Fighting/Dark/Psychic instead of Grass/Fire/Water.
The Shinou region might have an underground world.
Roselia might have an evolution.
Attacks might be physical or special based on the actual attack. Instead of being determined by type, it's determined on what happens. You know how some attacks can make you be effected by powers like Static? That means that they are physical, and those that wouldn't get paralyzed by Static are Special...or something. This would make Hyper Beam special and Thunder Punch physical, for example.


That last part seems really interesting...but I fear for Sceptile. It's trademark move Leaf Blade, will be inferior. It wouldn't be able to use other useful moves like Dragon Claw or Thunder Punch as well either...

Also...if that stuff is true, then most Pokémon that use Earthquake will be wasting there time. It would probably count as a special attack. Pokémon like Rhydon and Golem won't be able to use Earthquake as well...

 

[JonoSasson]

I'm not sure how much difference the attack attributes will make. I mean, if earthquake becomes special, Rhydon could still probably learn it. I'm sure they've taken into account stat differences and what not. This is Nintendo after all.

I don't understand why Leaf Blade would become inferior. Care to explain? Really, I can't see much fault to this attack system, unless it's pulled off incorrectly.

 

[Mega Flare]

you know the starters are going to be Fire/Grass/Water, its allways been allways will

That's not true. Yellow was electric, Colloseum was Dark and Psychic, and XD was your choice of Electric/Fire/Water/Dark/Psychic. From what I read, they were even debating giving you more than one starter this time around.

Jono, what he means is that the attacks may not be as effective. Grass is normally a Special Attack, but if this new system is true, then for some pokemon Leaf Blade would be Special Attack, and for some it would be Attack. For pokemon with a naturally high Special Attack, and a low Attack, Leaf Blade as a normal attack wouldn't be as effective.

 

[Mega Flare]

I would hate if they gave you more then one starter pokemon. Well i think Eevve would make a good starter

Eevee is to customizable to be a starter I would say. Especially seeing as it's pretty much usless (in my opinion :P) until you get a elemental stone and then they would have to make that part of the story, which means that getting Eevee would have to be as standard, rather than choice.

Also does anyone else think the designs of the Pokémon are getting really boring and random?

 

[Anonymous]

Eevee is the starter in XD. :P 'Course, you get a stone about 20 minutes into the game.

 

[JonoSasson]

I think Eevee is the starter in Green Version too...? I'd love there to be three different type starters...I love Psychic Pokemon for some strange reason. Bird Pokemon too :P

 

[Mega Flare]

Green Version is the same a red and blue but well green. ONly in japan

I allready know the team im going to be using, Charizard, Jolteon, Lapras, Grumpig +2 other pokemons. I could never find 2 more pokemon to go with my godly team
