MY POKEMON.
Let me show them to you.
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl came out today. It's been years and years since I played a Pokemon game, but I just can't pass up wifi trading and battling with voice chat. Anyone else here get it? I'm gonna get a wifi dongle soon, so we could trade friend codes.

Got the Japanese version of Diamond back on release, months back. While I'm not really into the online battling side of things, I'd be happy to share friend codes and trade. There's full inter-operability between the versions, and you get additions to your Pokédex when you trade with people who have other language versions and/or Pokémon.
It's a pity though that you can only form teams with people who you've traded with via local wi-fi, rather than anyone on your friends list.

Oh, you can't have long-distance group teams? That's a pity, I was looking forward to 2 on 2 battling with people I know online.

Hrmm, I might be tempted to pick up a copy. I'll need something to do until the next Phoenix Wright game is released when I finish up Justice For All.

Selecting any starter other than Piplup is treason.
Also, Starly's evolution gets intimidate?

If it's not out there yet, then how are you playing Diamond?

I expect he's playing a Japanese import copy, same as I am. Unless he meant to say Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald?
I'd be surprised if Europe is getting their versions in July though, given that Australia usually gets stuff first, and we get it in October.

Bah, I meant Emerald, heh. And Sharp-Kun, don't make me come up there!
And it's supposedly coming out on the 30th of June, which to me will mean waiting until after the weekend to get it, heh. I have checked every website under the sun that is based in the UK for that date, so there was no chance of me being foiled by your accursed date system,

Did you guys know that you can enter contests and win prizes for your Pokemon?
I just won a Cool contest with my Staravia.
I are the greatest.

It's nice to see that individual NPC's are now recognisable, heh

It looks like they finally redeemed themselves for ruby and sapphire.

I’d rather have the real thing and buy some fighting cocks. Too bad its only legal in one US state now.

LOoks like the GBA - DS trading is disabled until post Final Four.
Damn it, there goes my plan of playing through the game with an all bird team.

"Hurf, hurf Pokemon = cockfighting!" Uh huh, when I see a rooster kick up a tornado, breathe fire or
fry his opponents brain with his mind then I'll be impressed.

It would break the game to get your old Third Generation Pokemon before then. The Friend Park isn't a normal trade. It's a direct, one-way transfer. Since you re-catch your old Pokemon, they're not considered outsiders and you can control them regardless of what badges you have.
What, would you rather be able to start the game with a Lv. 100 Rayquaza?

On a tangentially related note:
Giant Enemy Crab?

Accually I was planning on adding them to my team when their minimum level was equal to what my team was running at(I was hopping to start with a Puplip, Torchic, and Starly, add a Skarmony and a Natu later, maybe at one point replace the Starly with a Dodrio. And to round the team out I was considering a Mukrow or maybe another Ruby/Saph/Emr or new bird pokemon.
I've played through and beaten R/B about 25 times, G/S about 4 or 5, LG/RF twice, tried R/S/E twice and couldn't stand that shit. I long ago abandoned any cheap teams, I pass on all the legendaries after my first few times through R/B because they made the game too easy, so I never intended to add pokemon far beyond my teams level. But I understand why they made it as such.

Guys, there's a Something Awful reference in the game.

I've read about that on 4chan. I really have my doubts it was anything more than chance- it's like saying the writers and actors of House M.D. are /b/tards because they have that running lupus joke that we /b/tards also have.

What level is everyone at? My starter's at 32. Maybe we can get some lowbie battling going on

It's going to be forever before I'll be ready for competitive battling. I absolutely crawl through Pokemon games. I catch everything I can as soon as I can and I keep everything at the same level. I never did have a core six I relied on 100% of the time. Not in any game.

"My Pokemon Is Fight"? That's not coincidence.
I've also run across the immortal phrases "A winner is you" and "for the win".

Has anyone else noticed that the Japanese players are willing to give you all 3 starters for things like a Psyduck named "DANSTON"?
