I heard you get a special stylus, but I don't know if it's true.

And just for the record, I'm getting pearl.

Hey, does anyone know if the carts are going to be transparent or something cool like that, or just plain black?

I'm definitely getting both Diamond and Pearl. Can't waaiiittt...

Anyone know if there's a lot of hype for these games? I'll reserve them if theres a good chance that I wont be getting it on release day.

Can I ask where you read about this? Cuz that kinda counters the theme for every past Pokemon game. "Gotta CATCH em all," remember? Emphasize on the CATCH part.

Does anyone know how trading with red/green and ruby/sapphire will work?

If you read Serebii.com's thread when the game first came out in Japan, he posts about his progress on the game. I believe several times in there he mentioned it. Both him and someone else were posting what they were doing in the game. Check there, because that's where I thought I read it (beware though, it's a LONG thread).

I know it's a change from the previous games, but keep in mind that there's pretty limited activity between the DS and GBA games. It'd be a total pain in the ass to trade over each Pokemon you couldn't catch on those versions, especially when you can only trade a select few at a time. I think they did it on purpose.

After you beat the Elite Four and get the National Dex (so you can see all of the pokemon, not just the ones in the D/P world), you can go to a place called the Pal Park. I think once per day, you can upload 6 of your pokemon from R/S/E/FR/LG to your DS game and try to re-catch them in this park. (I wouldn't worry about losing anything, though: the pokeballs in this park have 100% success rate.) After you catch the pokemon you uploaded, they rate you on your performance (how fast you caught them, etc) and give you berries based on it. Once you transfer pokemon to the DS though, you CAN NOT transfer them back to the GBA games. As for the limit per day thing, I can't think of any good reason as to why that'd be there.

U are such a cheater you know that ><

Yeah I'll be getting both games on release date. I play competitively so pretty much missing what will be the best multiplayer (online) in the games thus far would be pretty crazy.

Wasn't there another D/P topic in OG a while ago? I seem to remember it. This topic makes it seem like it's new (or at least the TC) but the Japanese version has been out for months, and there was a ton of info on the game even before that.

Cao Landoku · 02-20-2007, 08:59 AM

Well I havent played a handheld pokemon game since Red,Blue, and Yellow. When I heard about Diamond/Pearl, I decided to get back into pokemon. It has almost every pokemon within the two games right? Eh, All that matters is that I found out Hitmonchan is on both.

I'm getting Pearl(pink). Since I know so many people that's getting Diamond..It'll be easier for me to get the exclusives I dont have with Pearl.

Reenee · 02-20-2007, 09:36 AM

You better analyze Hitmonchan better because a lot of attacks were revised. i.e. Hyper Beam is no longer Attack-based anymore.

AdamL00001 · 02-20-2007, 09:44 AM

You're kidding, right? What else have they done?

Jayveemon · 02-20-2007, 02:40 PM

Yeah, what do you mean it's not attack-based anymore?
Also I am getting Diamond at first and then buying Pearl when I finish Diamond a few times through

Sigma X · 02-20-2007, 03:45 PM

What Reenee's saying is that whether a move is based on Attack or Special Attack is now exclusive to the move itself, not just the type of the move. For example, Hyper Beam is a Normal Type move, but it is not a physical attack, so Special Attack is used in the damage calculation. Another example of this when comparing two moves of the same type: Flamethrower is a move based on Special Attack (not a physical attack) but Fire Punch is based on Attack, because it's physical. It's all listed in-game on the screen that tells you the base attack/accuracy of the attacks, so it's not really that hard to figure out.

Oh jeez... Someone has already told me that the new features that were added to the series after the old games (Red,Blue,Yellow) are going to overwhelm me at first. I hope not...
