Pokemon opal revealed!
 
No its not a joke go here and look at it. I am so excited.
POEMON OPAL

hothead May 2nd, 2008 2:02 AM

YES
 
I can Finaly get Ho-oh and Lugia With out an Nintendo Event and im not 100% sure but my friend who is a net junkie he bearly comes to school and he loves pokemon and he menchiond this by saying that you go to the jhoto as well as Shino but thats what he said he lies a lot but that is so cool

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:06 AM

this is probably a very ate april fools as you see on the press release tab it says april 1 2008 and june that's next month also it says in japan its released a day before the US I think this is all Fake as will many people who read taht article.

hothead May 2nd, 2008 2:07 AM

I don't think it is a April Fools Joke it seems to well made and professinal to be April Fools joke

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:12 AM

well don't nintendo usually announce stuff like this and besides you expect me to believe something made on april 1st not confirmed by nintendo and supposed to be released just like taht nxt month this seems to be a little bit Far Fetched to me

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 2:12 AM

Yep it is to professional to be april fools joke. Its real I tell you real.

hothead May 2nd, 2008 2:13 AM

True but you don't know they could of made it at the same time but wanted to relese them seprately

Aquila May 2nd, 2008 2:18 AM

I agree with gotron.. I think there would be a public release rather then an article.. it would have seemed alot more thrustworthy if there had been another date then April the 1st..

Archayos May 2nd, 2008 2:19 AM

So it's like an Emerald to Ruby and Sapphire, then. Pretty cool. And I'm happy that we can finally catch Lugia without a Nintendo Event. : D

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:20 AM

And also another reason if you all say it's real why hasn't Nintendo at least hinted this game this or last month and I don't think they copyrighted Opal as a name yet in my knowledge of Pokemon.

Ryden May 2nd, 2008 2:24 AM

god if that is real and the things it say is true, it is going to be a very epic game *flails*

.:The_Lost_Realm:. May 2nd, 2008 2:25 AM

It's FAKE. D:
  • Nintedo did not say anything yet.
  • Coro Coro did not say anything yet though it's predicting a release of the 3rd 4th gen Pokemon game soon.
  • Pokemon.com did not say anything yet.
  • Serebii, PC and Pokebeach (as well as other famous Pokemon websites) are not stupid enough to forget to post about this 'new' game for a month.
  • The Pic is in English. Aren't Pokemon games released and/or sold in Japan first?!
  • The article is released on April 1st like what the others say.
  • Lost my train of thought. =P

lol. I even wished that Nintendo would make a 3rd 4th gen game one as soon as possible. xD

Lugia and Ho-Oh finally obtainable without a Nintendo event.
You can get Ho-oh with Pokemon Colosseum and Lugia with Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, they've always been obtainable ¬_¬

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:28 AM

I agree with myself, Aquila and The Lost realm this is fake its an april fools joke and you should have done your research before posting it sorry if your taking this effectively im not trying to be harsh but please have some common sense it's clearly not real.

MUSION May 2nd, 2008 2:30 AM

I also believe this to be fake.

Archayos May 2nd, 2008 2:33 AM

Fast replies, eh? I'm glad to be here.

Either way, so much for high hopes. >_>

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:33 AM

so sorry simply naruto this is not real

EDIT: woops sorry Archayos I posted your name not simply narutos lol

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 2:35 AM

Well ok fine I tried hard to find something like this though you have to give me some credit for trying and no credit for common sense. I didnt read it thats why I was so excited. I am sorry if I posted something moronic as this. I am off to sulk at my stupidity. Also april fools joke is something like a title for this.

gotron228 May 2nd, 2008 2:38 AM

hey dont take this effectivly Simplynaruto but I do credit you for finding a very interesting article taht got me into it after I read the article and the april 1st thing so yeah I do credit youa nd lets hope something like this does happen in a year or so!

hothead May 2nd, 2008 2:39 AM

I read the whole thing just then and i do aggree the game right now is not real but some of the concepts and probabbly the name will relase a game about next year in about July but i don't belive the 3d thing But i would love for the vocie activation

It's ok. :)

This is even closer to the real thing IMO, but it doesn't change the fact it's fake:

I hope this fake game releases will end as soon as possible. If it continues, then Nintendo could have the chance to decide not to make a 3rd 4th gen game.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's so fake!

They'd release the Japanese Boxart First, and Corocoro is usually is the first source to announce these things. April 1st lol. Thats a month ago. If it was real, ALL of the sites would've announced it by now.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 2:44 AM

Dunsparce I know realize its fake dont rub it in my face.

I wasn't aiming it at you, but the people on the site itself.

Reminds me of how before Diamond and Pearl were released, there was fake info and Pokemon running around everywhere :P

Sorry if you thought it was directed at you.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 2:51 AM

Nah its ok. But if this is what coro coro will reveal in 13 days this is real. I want to see what coro-coro info says.

j_ May 2nd, 2008 3:07 AM

Umm, did anyone else see what day it was posted?

April 1st..

Did you even read the other posts? We know it's fake already.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 3:09 AM

No really now we didnt see it. We were all fussing about april 1rst being the saddest day ever <_<

dragonarche May 2nd, 2008 4:41 AM

OMG!!!!!!!!
POKEMON OPAL
ITS REAL OMG!!!!!!

WaluigiRedclaw91 May 2nd, 2008 4:41 AM

A new game is being announced in a week or so so lets wait.

hothead May 2nd, 2008 4:47 AM

if it is this game me and simply Naturo are going to say i told you so but i think it will be diferetn then wat that sight said it is

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 4:58 AM

It will be different hot-head but if the battle nations in with voice recognition and 3D pokemon I will be going I told you so.

Ryden May 2nd, 2008 6:30 AM

Disregarding the high fake factor here, lets take a look at some of the features they listen, I mean if the actually game even has half that stuff, it'll be great (I really liked the idea about the voice commands, that would be really neat)

El Gofre May 2nd, 2008 6:52 AM

Can we get some sourcing please?
And yeah this isnt even something new, opal rumours have been around for ages.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 7:34 AM

Gofre its going to be in coro-coro what rock have you been under?

ArceusGamer May 2nd, 2008 8:44 AM

It's just fake. Does anyone believe this? I don't think so!

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 9:37 AM

No.. it's not fake. Even though it was released on April 1st, that doesn't make it an April Fools joke. Also, would they even go to all that trouble to make the actual cover of the game with Giratina on the front and the actual Nintendo logo? I mean, just look at it! I've compared it to the cover of pearl, and it has a remarkable resemblance. But on the other hand, it should've been said on the Nintendo website.. anyway, its WAY TO SERIOUS to be a fake.

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 11:08 AM

What did simplynaruto say and got ignored? Its way to serious the way its made to be fake. Although the whole lugia/ho-oh thing is farfetched it could also hint that you go inbetween johto and sinnoh for the storyline. I hope that does happen cause it would uppen(is it even a word?!) the popularity of it as well. And the voice thing and 3D pokemon will boost(ah theres the word) even more then the travelling.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:26 AM

So you think it's not fake? I am very adamant that it is definitely not fake. And if it is true, i simply CANNOT wait until it is released! Ho-oh, Lugia, Dialga, Palkia and Girtatina.. and the voice controlled battle mode? Jeez, it will probably be a big hit worldwide in days!

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 11:39 AM

Exactly why it says it will be released in the same week. For the earth to feel theimpact of it at the sae time.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:53 AM

But no official release by Nintendo yet? We are almost within a month of the "release" and, well, when Nintendo say they are making Pokémon Opal, only then will i 100% believe that it is true. So many threads that have been talking about the new remake.. could this be the gold at the end of the rainbow?

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 11:54 AM

Wait a week for coro-coro thats when we will know.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:57 AM

*Sigh* i'm not the most patient person in the world. But, yeah, Coro coro will reveal all! I must say i can't wait for the release if it is real. It might be zoomed off the shelf the second it comes out..
EDIT: And just imagine what 5th gen will be if it has to top Opal! I don't know how Nintendo can manage it!

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 11:59 AM

The week it comes out. I have to say its pretty rea I will post all three box-arts and show that its real, k?

Ok here it goes

Now you tell me that those have nothing in common and you will here it from me.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:13 PM

That is so exceedingly accurate - so it IS NOT an April Fools joke - which means.. sweet. I've looked at them closely as well - they match.. whoa.

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 12:19 PM

Uh-huh. This really is the real thing. I am to god damn excited. But if its not I am going to make nintendo hurt badly. Real badly. I also always wanted 3D fights on the portabl ones. As well as voice recognition. I can see myself on the bus screaming use hyper beam and everyone looking at me. Or going to the battle nation. I am saying as if its real cause I know its real. And they even say: the date is not a good one for this to be revealed. No one as an april fools joke would say its a date to make you uneasy. It would give the joke away like that.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:27 PM

If it is an April Fools joke, i will SCREAM. And yes, that would be so funny, sitting there on the bus shouting stuff like "don't faint, damnit!" People would get off at the next stop XD.

And 3D battling, WOW. It'll be a massive step up from Diamond and Pearl!

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 12:29 PM

I am to excited. Also I wonder how the birds come into play? And how will battle nation fit on the island. The last one I wil answer after you post, k?

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:34 PM

Rumour has it there will be a Jhoto - Sinnoh crossover. It just makes it more exciting! And the fact there is a better storyline - D&P ended quite.. abruptly, and all was left was the dex and the legendaries. Now you can catch Dialga AND Palkia. Still, i will be SO dissapointed if its a complete lie.. which i just can't see it beeing one anymore.

Patchy May 2nd, 2008 12:34 PM

Lol, whoever made that didn't realize that Nintendo always put titles at the top of a box. :P

And a game NEVER comes out in Europe a few days after the U.S. EVER.


I have to admit, I DID believe that, I even copied the link to tell other people about it, haha.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:37 PM

Theres a reason for that, Skarmory. You see Giratina's right wing? It would go underneath the title, and as you can see Dialga and Palkia are 100% visible.

Squeenix May 2nd, 2008 12:37 PM

It's fake, if it was real
-Major sites like PPN, Serebii would of said somthin
-Nintendo would of said something
-Why is the cover in english?
-Why is that just the anime Girantina
-Why has corco said nothing

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:40 PM

We WILL KNOW if its not fake in a week or so. The Coro coro magazine wil say something soon. I'm sure its not fake. I'm sure.

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 12:46 PM

Ι know how the battle nation would fit in. You either make alternate extanded route parts from route 225 or 227. I know it. And we are the ony smart ones tolberone to acually believe this huh?

j_ May 2nd, 2008 12:52 PM

The group think is rather funny to see in this thread! Seriously!!

The story was published a month ago, on the fraking 1st of April. There is NO other site covering the story, and you guys all think its OMG REAL.

Step back and look again. Please.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 12:52 PM

Yes, i believe we are. Theres no reason NOT to believe it, but just because Serebii and PPN haven't said anything suddenly it's "fake". And that is very probable your theory about the expanded route parts, then the battle nation would fit. What is there NOT to believe about Pokémon Opal?
EDIT: Mo Man, we believe it's not fake, and just because no other websites have any stories about it you think it's fake.. and the April 1st thing.. we are saying that it is coincidence.
EDIT (again): I gotta go, c ya'll later!

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 12:59 PM

Exactly I mean tanooki had info on rosalina in mario kart wii 2 weeks before it was unlocked for the first time in it. It is acually pretty believable more and more. There is also tis forum with some user called mysterious surfer girl or something like that. She creates these out of the world rumors and 90% of the time they are real. I find her forum and her saying something like this make what coro-coro says just a confirmness of this article. Nuff said.

When i said nuff said I didnt mean for people to stop posting.

Shiny Umbreon May 2nd, 2008 1:49 PM

I'll have to say I did believe this, and thought about April 1st, but since it was posted today, I had a hope until someone mentioned it and I saw again. Anyway, I've heard people saying www.pokemonopal.com had been reserved and stuff like that. The box is also the most impressive thing I've seen if it's a fake. Of course, I can believe some things are way too exaggerated, like Lugia and Ho-oh, 3D Battles (though I got really excited when I saw it) and voice recognition. Still, if this turns out to be real, Nintendo will have made the best job with a third Pokémon game. Personally, I'm in doubt now. I would close the thread normally, but this has some interestng discussion I could leave open.

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 1:51 PM

YAY for shiny umbreon. I think this is the nicest you have been. And thnx for being a believer.

Adrian May 2nd, 2008 1:54 PM

I have arrived with a +5 sword of stinging truth!

I am sorry to say to the two of you in here fighting for the validity of this release, but I have come to the conclusion there is no way this release is factual. In fact, I did so by using the very box art pics you said were so similar. To begin with I noticed that the "The Pokemon Company" logo looked a little fishy on the Opal box, so I opened up some comparison tools and the logos when blown up a bit look nothing alike. To begin with the actual logo is quite a bit larger, but that isn't even the most important thing. If you look closely the accent on the e on the Opal box points upwards, whereas the actual logos accent has a slight curve towards the horizontal. I highly doubt they would change the logo, ESPECIALLY if they were created at the same time.

Secondly I checked the "Game experience may change during online play." This is standard and the same on all DS boxes. This one you can see better if you don't blow it up. The C on Change is closer to a slightly curved [ which is true for the Diamond box. However on Opal it is a perfect curve just like C. Same story with the G on Game. In other words, they were written in DIFFERENT texts, not the standard.

Finally I would like to point out that all of the letters that spell OPAL are also in diamOnd and PeArL and appear to me to be copy and pasted from these boxes, the Os glow altered, slightly rotated and put back together.

In other words, a well put together fake. But a fake nonetheless, unless someone can point out a good reason why the fonts would be changed on stuff where it shouldn't be.

Furthermore, the third game will be called Topaz. Duh! :P

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 1:57 PM

WOW worst explanation ever. Its opal, topaz is so not cool.

Adrian May 2nd, 2008 1:59 PM

That was a joke, and apparently you missed the rest of the explanation.

Shiny Umbreon May 2nd, 2008 2:01 PM

Lol Topaz.

Adrian, I have something to say. Thanks for your investigations, but, if you notice, the images have different quality. I think the Diamond one is a bit more blurry. That means, the C can look more like [, and some other differences you pointed out. If you think well, someone who wants to make a fake box would start by COPYING the logo from another source. In that way, someone wouldn't waste time making the logo again by his own hands, meaning the logo can't be different. I don't see it different at sight, at least, which can prove it's a difference between resolutions.

I don't want you to have wasted time. Just expressing why I think it's not correct to check legitimacy this way.

Mitchman May 2nd, 2008 2:02 PM

Acually the accent is correct. And now this will be locked thnx to you.
Oh thnk god I sawshiny and I freaked.

Heh, you obviously can't handle contary opinions! I guess the best way to sort this, is the wait until July. Personally, I think this story is a hoax, but there will definetely be a new game sometime in the future.

And I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong. :)

A thread won't get closed because a staff member is seeing it.

Anyway, since this topic has brought a big discussion and has good points, it'd need good proof to get closed. And you don't need to blame him. He was helping the topic, right? And if he was or is right, this deserves to be closed so there is nothing to complain about.

tylerowicz May 2nd, 2008 2:08 PM

it says catch them and over 480 pokemon
maybe u can finaly get arceus and shaymin and darkrai without an event!
who knows!

Yes, they did copyright the name.
But this is a fake, or I woulda heard of it by now.
Let me analyze the claims:

Well, we all pretty much saw this coming. A retarded slug could have thought of that.

New Battle Nation area expands the Battle Tower offerings of Diamond & Pearl.
*cough Battle Frontier cough*

Pokémon are now in 3D during battles, in the Pokédex, and on the GTS.
Again, the retarded slug analogy.

Optional voice commands for attacking in battle.
Retarded slug.

Lugia and Ho-Oh finally obtainable without a Nintendo event.
Retarded... Slug.

Minor shuffling of trainer and building locations expected.
RSlug.

A few surprise cameos.
RS

So as you can see from my (somewhat mean) analysis, it's a fake.

Adrian May 2nd, 2008 2:23 PM

I actually do kinda like Topaz... Better than Opal in my opinion, not the point though.

I will give you that the picture of Opal has a worse resolution (and is smaller to boot.) However the e in pokemon is still highly odd to me as no change in clarity could make THAT much of a difference.

However, the argument can be taken off of the box art. The things that are promised to you have some minor flaws.

Everything is all fine and dandy until the stuff about 3D. While, I agree that this would be amazing, I hate to break it to you that this is improbable, at least, improbable in the way it is promised. While the same pseudo-3D you see in Diamond and Pearl is a possibility, the DS could not handle 3D battles. The problem with this claim, is that hardware-wise the N64 and the DS are about equals. Yes, I know Stadium and Stadium 2 were out on the N64, however if you remember correctly, the battles and sprites took up so much that they were unable to offer much besides the battles. While I will admit this isn't totally impossible, the likelihood of this is slim to none, especially seeing as how the other promises all lengthen parts of the game outside of battles.

Optional voice commands, if they put these into the game you are looking at even more space being taken up. An extreme amount if there is a different command for every attack.

While I can't outright tell you this is a hoax. I can tell you that if this is true, it is unlikely to live up to exactly what you are expecting.

♣Gawain♣ May 2nd, 2008 4:19 PM

Either they've updated it so we can finally see it, or it's just a fake... But either way, there will be always a third game for the DS, right? Plus I can't wait it to be realeased...

Trainer Trance May 2nd, 2008 5:37 PM

Ok Wow, I've never had such harsh feelings for other Pokémon fans before, but this just tops the cake.

I'll probably get yelled at for saying this, but are you all effing retarded??

It's an April Fool's joke. Nothing like this was ever announced by Nintendo, and almost every site that I've seen this hoax on (no, you're not the first to bring it up) has had a good laugh, then disregarded it as the April Fool's Joke that it is.

Why do you think that Tanooki is the only site to have said anything about this crap-tastic version of Pokémon??

It's supposed to be the third in a series, like Blue was to Red and Green, Crystal to Gold and Silver, and Emerald to Ruby and Sapphire.

We'll get a third game, that's already been confirmed, Coro Coro's releasing information on it soon, but this crap ISN'T it.

Nintendo doesn't release games world-wide on the same date.
We'd see it released in Japan, give it a few months, then in America, few more months, in Europe.

The battle sprites WILL REMAIN SPRITES.
They wouldn't make a random change to 3-D Pokémon in battles; it's too dramatic of a change from the source games. If anything, we'll get the Pokémon in different poses.

Voice command? I could see Nintendo doing somethin stupid like this, but, just like the 3-D battles, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't add something totally un-needed like this in.

A "Battle Frontier" type of situation may show up, but I'm betting that it'd just be an expanded version of the island to the NorthEast of the map that we already have.

To top all of that off, about the mock-up of the game's box... (how well this fits my first question at the beginning)...


Did nobody find it strange AT ALL that we see the English boxart first???

Did nobody realize that they release information of the Japanese stuff (boxart, release dates, etc) first?

We never see the English version first, we'll always see the Japanese box, then later on the box of the English version.



Therefore, this is one great big April Fool's Joke, and it's just extremely discouraging to see that fellow fans of Pokémon are really dumb enough to be tricked for a full MONTH after the source material was posted.



...

Aside from all of that, why the hell didn't the date of April 1st tip everything off to you?!


*sits back and waits for the flying insults and statements of "IT IS TOO REAL!!"*

tylerowicz May 2nd, 2008 5:41 PM

im not gonna insult u
i agree
but i just have this idea in my mind
OHH I WANT A NEW GAME BELIEVE THIS ITE
but yea... i dont really do

Trainer Trance May 2nd, 2008 5:46 PM

No, what's going on is that you people want a new game so bad that the first "official announcement" that you're blinding yourselves. Even though it's on April Fool's day and isn't being covered anymore at all, nor is it being covered by the sites that ALWAYS have their information (Serebii.net), you say that it's "a coincidence".

...

No, just, no.

A few months ago i saw the cover, a friend(can't tell his resources or else) said he saw it and he took a picture of it and showed me but it was in japaniese. They probably already made the game they basically added a few things and mixed the game together. It is not a trick.

tylerowicz May 2nd, 2008 5:47 PM

Yyyeah, you do know that pulling the "My friend has resources on the inside but we can't tell who it is" card gets you an official ass-hat stamp, right??

There's nothing real about this.

darkace May 2nd, 2008 6:09 PM

Are you serious?

That's the only thing you can come up with?

Every Japanese box of any type that I've seen has been proven fake, and I've seen a lot of them.

The game isn't coming out in this incarnation, so what the heck??

It's pretty much confirmed that they're coming out with a third version with Giratina on the cover, but you're straight up lying by saying that the official box art has been released, because it hasn't.

You know it, and I know it.

darkace May 2nd, 2008 6:38 PM

Its not fake. your mind can't just understand the fact that it is true. Okay lets make a deal June 20 when it is suppose to come out, if its not out ill give you any item if im right you give me a darkrai

Last Raven May 2nd, 2008 7:28 PM

Uh-oh.
Now people are wagering things on this?
Wow...
It is definitely convincing but just because it isn't more widely known makes me skeptical.
It does seem like it had some good concepts, name, and boxart, etc.
But believe me, when it is officially announced, everyone will know it.
Until then, chill and hope for true news.

ShadowTails May 2nd, 2008 7:33 PM

"This looks too professional to be an April Fools Joke"
That's the point of April Fools Jokes... to fool the reader into believing them, would you rather them have put a terrible looking picture of Giratina on the box instead and wrote "April Fools Version."?

On top of that, if Nintendo did release information on this, it'd be all over the Pokemon fan sites. On top of that, it looks just like the hoax from a "Japanese version of the game" same art, same box, just English text instead of Japanese text.

Ryden May 2nd, 2008 9:31 PM

It is an April fools joke, but it doesn't hurt to think that the features it offer would be awesome and hope that maybe in the they will be on the game.

and the too profession to be a hoax thing...that does kinda make all who say that sound like they've never heard of photoshop and fanfiction. I mean didn't anyone see that fake Legend of Zelda Movie trailer? That there should be a sign to poeple just how far gamers will go to foll there comrades in the sake of humor.

the sad fact are; the third game is real, but the features that site released are just a dream/hope/wishes. Other site (ones I've actually heard of before this event) definitely wouldn't of over looked something this big if it was real, thats the real tell tale sign of this being BS (aside from the date).

Despite that, it doesn't hurt to dream/hope/wish that the features this site made up come true, even some of them be awesome..just don't hold your breathe...or do, actually yeah do...cause then we won't have to deal with you XD

You know what? That's pointless, so you might as well hand over the item now.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NO THIRD VERSIONS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED FROM THE DIAMOND AND PEARL GENERATION OF POKEMON GAMES FOR THE NINTENDO DS. ANYTHING YOU HAVE HEARD IS ALL JUST FANBASED SPECULATION.

You friend is lying to you, because if big sh!t like that was announced, everyone would know about it.

The version this topic was trying to announce was a fake, and there's still no announced Japanese release. Just get over it.

I want there to be a third game in the series, because the third game always seems to expand on the first 2 games' story, giving us as players something more to look forward to. It's going to happen eventually, yes, but at this point, it's only a possibility, and they haven't made anything concrete.

Just because you claim to have a friend with connections doesn't earn you the respect that you're trying to get, especially when you don't have the proof to back yourself up.

And you know what?

I'd take you up on that offer, but I know that you're the type of smartmouthed little prick who makes a wager on one thing (your friend having told you that he's seen official proof of it and that it's been announced, which is what your original arguement was about), but if something completely different happens (it does get announced, but isn't even the same thing that you were talking about) you'll claim that you meant the one that really happened, even if it's not what you were originally running your mouth about.

Then, when I call you out on it, you would change your original post.

Trust me, I'm a member of far too many forums, and I know how predictable little morons like you are; you're dime-a-dozen, and like to stir up attention in the community to try to make yourself look good, but then when you get called out on it, you just get huffy and say that it's not what you meant.

And if that was your only means of getting a Darkrai, keep searching, especially since you would've been handing over whatever item it was that I would've wanted.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 10:49 PM

*Phew* i sure have missed a good discussion! I still agree with darkcookie in saying this IS NOT fake. We believe in it, and if it is not mentioned in Coro coro, we'll have to wait till June or whatever.. Who would go to such extrodinary legnths for this "April Fools joke"? The article says things that i believe can be true. I can see voice command is very realistic, and i think it will be true. WHO would make an article so serious for an April Fools joke? Thats what i believe.

That's the thing, in order to have this sort of information, it would have had to be released in Coro coro first. And come on, get Lugia and Ho-oh out of the events, that B.
The reason because it's such a good April Fools joke, is because it's been done very well, why would you make an April Fools joke with "April Foold Joke" on it?
A person with a very good sense of humour, and somone who can trick people with a big imagination, that's who

And to finish, "Furthermore, Pokémon Opal will mark the first time a game in the series will launch in all major regions of the world within a single week, with the Japanese launch leading the way on July 19 and Europe following suit on July 24."
And also, Serebii doesn't have anything, Pokemon.com doesn't have anything, there's been no word of it until now, and why would they give out the first amount of information, just under 3 months until it hits the shelves?

sims796 May 2nd, 2008 11:17 PM

I'm sorry, but the level of ignorance on this thread is appauling, absolutely appauling.

Oniko has instantly gained 50 cool points for his post. Everyone else who has agreed for it to be a joke gets 35.

Seriously, it's a joke. There are far too many logical explainations as to why it is fake. No real references. No offical word from the makers. The fact that there is an english box art. The fact that all pokemon information sites has not made any mention of this The fact that it was made ON FRACKIN' APRIL 1st, as a way to exploit the ignorance of poke players.

Stop closing your ears, and get over the fact that IT IS FAKE. The overwhelming evidence should tell you otherwise. "It looks too serious to be fake" is NOT a real argument . In fact, if you go by that, prepared to get scammed alot in your lives. It is not hard for them to make a real looking fake box, the same way it is easy to make a fake "Folex" and sell it as a Rolex watch. The things included, sounds either "duh", or ludicros. Seriously, 3d battling on the DS? No time soon, at least not THIS soon.

I know we want this game that we are willing to believe anything. But that is a quick way to lose all your money in the future. Enough with the "it looks so real" crap, as Ryden & I already said, it is NOT hard to docture some fake photos. In fact, I have one of me kissing Hollie Berry (*sigh*). And a new form of stupidity was made when some fool actually tried the "my friend said it was true. He has connestions, but I can't show you, and I don't have proof, but my friend said so!".

That was pathetic. Right, Shao Khan?

Shoa Khan:Excellent.

EDIT:Arch 2008 has gained 50 as well. Seriously, we've heard nothing until 3 months before it arrives? Stop fooling yourselves, and ignoring all reasonable infomation.

LethalTexture May 2nd, 2008 11:26 PM

First off, I'd like to say I agree with everything Oniko said. I've had many experiences with that type of person. And sims I agree with too.

Just go watch the Legend of Zelda movie trailer that was an April Fools joke. Then come back and tell me that people don't go to great lengths for an April Fools joke.

People, as has been repeated so many times in this thread by people who actually have sense, this is FAKE. I'm pretty sure that other sources such as Coro Coro and Serebii would have released some details about it by now. They don't release information about it on the day it is released... ._.

sims796 May 2nd, 2008 11:28 PM

Sorry, Deano, you only get 20 :P

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:32 PM

*Sigh* alright, i give up. I wondered how long i could try and believe it was true, but.. you guys hve seriously proved ya selves.. yeah i was a little stupid.. even though, i can't WAIT for a new remake!
EDIT: And i also agree with everyone above's posts.

sims796 May 2nd, 2008 11:36 PM

I wouldn't say stupid (well, I would, but not to be mean). Just naive. Or, in a better word, blind. I know you want the game, we all do, and that is why youi were willing to jump at the first sign of release. But ya gotta draw the line somewhere. Just as bad as those "lose weight quick" pills. They will release a third game soon enough. Just not this soon.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:39 PM

Agreed. I became very naive, and i apologize. I still can't wait for the release of the remake. I should open my eyes in the future. Your right, i shouldn't jump at a sign of release.

The Confuzzler May 2nd, 2008 11:41 PM

i'm sorry but it looks fake IMO. And like skarmory said the person who made this did make a big mistake the name lol. Also why is the name english? Wouldn't it be Japanese? i'd like to see it happening but not right now. I don't think yet i mean also 3D battling? not yet Nintendo and also the the dates don't make sense i mean is it only gonnna take you one day to translate the whole thing? But Pokemon Opal could still have a chance in the in aabout one or two years.

So i think... FAKE for now...

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:43 PM

I think the reason is by using the English Diamond and Pearl cover you can actually make "Opal". So that might be why.

LethalTexture May 2nd, 2008 11:47 PM

I would agree that you may have been naive; I know that it's hard not to jump on the bandwagon first time a new game is hinted. Yes, we all want the game, but we just have to tell ourselves that, for the time being, it's not being released. It's obvious that it will, just... not yet.

Toblerone May 2nd, 2008 11:49 PM

Not naive - VERY naive! I should've thought about the possiblites of it being a fake - i instantly thought it was true. It will be released, just not.. in June, maybe later this year.

The Confuzzler May 2nd, 2008 11:57 PM

Yes exactly! and when it does i'll be dancin'! uh.. forget i said that :/ And don't get yourself down because when a new game for Opal does come out there will be threads all over pokecommunity. so sorry coro coro but your April Fools Joke has been Discovered! yeah that'sright by the great people of pokecommunity! :) But you weren't VERY NAIVE you were just hoping and i bet some people didn't think of it like that. At least your were able to admit you were wrong so be proud of it and also you wre not THAT NAIVE but if when i first got hinted about it i thought it was true but then i started thinking and kept checking back and then thought there was no way it could be true atleast not yet. But it will be here and we know it! :)

j_ May 3rd, 2008 12:13 AM

Yay, common sense finally prevailed :D

Who else thinks we should have a public poll, about whether they think it's coming out in July?
