Is it possible to empty the berry stock in D/P?

d4rk, Apr 27: That was very complete thank you so much! Ha, I knew I could permanently lose some of them. I have no plans of trading with HGSS so far, so I'll be careful with those ones.

Did you like Voltorb Flip, and would you like to see more minigames like this?

Nah, Mar 29: Never cared for it much myself, or any of the Game Corner minigames really, it's a lot of RNG-based grind.

What was your pokemon team with which you completed the adventure for the first time?

Amore, Mar 9: I can't really remember all of my Diamond team. I can make some educated guesses though: - Piplup (100% on this one, they had me at Penguin) - Budew (100%, unavailability of Roselia in Emerald taunted me) - Murkrow (I was aware of Honchkrow...I...

Platinum actually does fit Diamond/Pearl

_confused_piplup_, Feb 24: I have never heard this kind of discussion tbh. I feel like it just refers to platinum being a highly valuable thing, like diamonds and pearls. It works for me tbh.

Terrablim98, Oct 22: You're gonna want something to counter the Ghost type. Gengar is likely your favorite option, but Sneasel, Murkrow, and Houndoom are also great. I do not recommend Umbreon, unless you are going at a support movepool.
