~*Champion Shirona*~ May 7th, 2008 6:32 PM

I was like whateva... =/

:16:

AJ™ May 7th, 2008 6:38 PM

Well... thats sad :P

(filler)

BakingBluePotatoe May 7th, 2008 6:40 PM

"Woah... WTF... This is NOT a Pokemon game! O_O"

Yup that's what I said.

Pineapi May 7th, 2008 6:46 PM

Honestly, my first reaction was how much I HATED some of the new Pokemon.. Some of them are just so BAD. I also didn't like how my Pokemon wouldn't obey me.. I am sure this isn't a new thing but it was new to me! lol.

~CyberKitsune09~ May 7th, 2008 7:07 PM

D/P got me back into the pokemon world, after 2 years of not playing a pokemon game....


Pokefun1! May 7th, 2008 7:36 PM

my response was:

NO! NOT ANOTHER ONE!
*reads preview*
oh. so its not another spinoff.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NytewolfAU2k7 May 7th, 2008 8:32 PM

My thoughts were "MORE Pokemon to add to my Offline Pokedex, just great"

The Fallen May 7th, 2008 8:39 PM

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of imagination used in the creation of the new pokemon, but I was excited for the new storyline. I was nowhere near as obsessed with D/P as I once was with RBY or GSC. It is still a decent game though.

Cid May 7th, 2008 8:46 PM

My first reaction was:

What the HECK happened to the drawings? Did a four-year old draw this Spiritomb???

Yeah, that's it...

Toblerone May 7th, 2008 10:39 PM

I got that same impression. I thought "Oh man, they've created weird looking Pokémon!"

hothead May 7th, 2008 10:42 PM

I exicited i like the story line in this one but i did not like the elite four in this game they were to easy

Amoeba May 7th, 2008 11:06 PM

My reactions to the new game was that I liked the overworld graphics but I thought the stater town music didn't make a very good first impression... (dooo doo dodooo do do- *breath* dooo doo do... ¬.¬; its so dull...)

When I saw Bidoof. I just thought to myself "they've really run out of ideas now". It just looked like an assortment of brown shapes stuck together.

Sadly, I found very few DP pokemon that I was willing to use in my final team. Most of which I preferred were from the earlier gens.

So, overall, my reactions were of disappointment.

ErickaVolt May 7th, 2008 11:10 PM

My first reaction to D/P is......

*Yay!! Another Pokemon version to hack.*
*Another game to download at the internetz.*

^_^

Hypntick May 7th, 2008 11:29 PM

It made me break down and finally buy a DS

Kojima May 7th, 2008 11:34 PM

My first reaction to the game was....

*OH MY GOD! I gotta get that game*

But then I found out it'll be released in Australia in June T_T

Mitchman May 8th, 2008 4:06 AM

I smashed my head at the repeated dull factor of the same game after 10 years. I swear the only thing keeping it alive is the shiny collecting. I had it beat in under 5 days do to the stupid simplness of the game. So in other words I was like a big cursing rapper.

Iron Shaman May 8th, 2008 7:45 AM

"So sloooooooooooooooow" was my reaction. Seriously, GSC's first hour was faster than DP's. ._.

The new cries were annoying, and at first I thought the new pokes were silly (but I've taken that back - every new gen everyone whinges despite there being a lot of awesome (Hippowdon ftw <3) being around.

But the inclusion of wifi and increase in EV training items (Macho brace sucked D: ) kept the game lasting. I still prefer NB/Shoddy to wifi though. =(

Mitchman May 8th, 2008 8:15 AM

Oh iron shaman your not the only one that sees the slowness of it. I got through G/S/C up to olivine in what 5 hours with pokemon reay at a right level and everything. So yeah one thing that ticked me off was speed. God imagine surf speed in hoenn.

Amp May 8th, 2008 8:53 AM

My first reaction was "Yes! New pokes!"

Then it became
"WHY IS THIS SO SLOW!??!!!!! WALK FASTER YOU LITTLE RUNT!"

Cid May 8th, 2008 9:23 AM

Yeah, that was my second reaction, realizing that it's soooo SlOw... Anyway, I also wondered why they made another Time Pokemon besides Celebi...

Sweet Speed May 8th, 2008 10:21 AM

I thought that it was going to be the best game ever because of it's 3d graphics and its great storyline. At first I was disappointed that the battles weren't going to be in 3D but I didn't care, I was also glad about the Pal Park addition.

AJ™ May 8th, 2008 12:03 PM

I thought it was slow, as well.

Altgexx May 8th, 2008 2:11 PM

I had like no reaction at all. To me it was just another pokemon game until I was about 6 hours in and all of a sudden I was like, "WTF?! Everything looks so much better!"

paperfunk May 8th, 2008 2:14 PM

it was pretty awesome. i read about it in my NP and i almost couldnt sleep until it came out. i've been faithful to the series since crystal, so of course i was stoked!
