Hello, first post here. I'm actually glad this particular thread exists, because I had a simple question to ask. I've been playing pokemon since my 1st game (blue) up until yellow and then stopping at silver. Couldn't afford a GBA back in the day so I had to pass up on the advanced generation games (ruby/sapphire; L-green/F-red). I've had my DS for a while and decided to get diamond a few months after release. Well, for whatever reason, I'm just now finishing it (over a year!). When I beat the E4 I was excited because I remembered that boat in (insert town name, I forgot) and thought "hey, just like the SS Anne or that one boat that took you from johto to kanto in G/S.!" So I get on the boat and find out that I don't go to any different region, only that little square of land on the upper right of the map. The only reason I picked diamond back up was because I wanted to go back to the past gym leaders and stomp on them like I did in silver, but there does not seem to be a way to do so. Does anyone know of any pokemon games (handhelds) that allow you to go back to different regions (a la gold/silver) and see the other cities and battle gym leaders? As mentioned before, I completely missed the games past silver leading up to diamond so I have no idea what went on there. I do know that I'm gonna search for a copy of leaf green because I like that it is set in Kanto (where know most of the stuff :)).
Now that I think about it, I probably want to go back to the other regions because I actually know whats going on there; ie pokemon and types. Almost everything I encountered in diamond was new and led to me getting crushed more often than not because I couldn't tell what type x pokemon was without going to gamefaqs. I feel slightly gimped with diamond, even though I definitely got my 35 bucks worth of gameplay. I guess I kind of expected to be able to go through the other regions (they are on the DS now after all) with a technologically stronger platform. Yeah there is the trading and WFC battles, but they're just not my thing. Seriously, I know maybe the first 150-250 pokemon, most, not all of those, and there are over 300 now right? This is probably a really old discussion, but was anybody else a little mad about that feature not being put into the new game (or the ones before it which would have been new back then)? Does anyone know why they would take something like that out? Woah, long post, oh well ;)
