Ok so the offical site have added a picture of the full battle box thingee, so what most people thought of about the exp bit being at the top was wrong :( aw well it would of looked cool!

So disscus what you think about this "new" battle design

The Darkest Gale June 18th, 2009 8:22 AM

Wow they are cool Plus I love the pichu sprites
not asking bu tI think that might mean that theres 2 sprites for each pokemon i guess

Yuoaman June 18th, 2009 8:26 AM

Well those are two completely different Pokemon, the Notched-Ear Pichu and Pikachu-Colored Pikachu...

And I actually prefer the Platinum boxes over these.

The Darkest Gale June 18th, 2009 8:28 AM

I think most people can't wait for hg and ss to come out
You are good at finding HG SS stuff do you know or have seen any sprites of the pokemon when they follow you. Sorry your just good at this stuff

Thanks, if you mean the pokemon that follow you yes, ive seen:
krickitot
steelix
the three starters
and the pichus

wolf June 18th, 2009 8:35 AM

These are nice, I like the "wind blown" kind of look. Platinum had a better color option though.

The Darkest Gale June 18th, 2009 8:36 AM

oh I've seen the pichu's and steelix but O_o can you post the rest
have you seen aron and is it every pokemon that can be a partner 8D

templekeeper June 18th, 2009 8:37 AM

Platinum's were a shocker becuase of how different they were, so going back to ones more like DP and earlier is going to be a change.

I'll be able to make an opinion once we know what it looks like with an Exp. bar-

Ecks-Dee June 18th, 2009 8:38 AM

Oh wow. The different genders of pokemon have completely different stances altogether? I can't WAIT for this to come out! X3

The bar looks like it could fit on the top, where the gray line cuts across the block.

Melodyfree June 18th, 2009 8:44 AM

So Notchie is getting her own special pose, or are different genders finally getting their own? I'd love it if it were the latter, but probably not.

And here I was afraid they'd go back to the ugly D/P boxes. These look similar to Platinum. Thank goodness...now if only we could change the colors. :/

wildwind June 18th, 2009 8:47 AM

I like the battle style. It always seems like when they make a remake the battle style changes. But other than that it looks good. I especially like how different the pichus look.

seeker June 18th, 2009 8:48 AM

Theres wasnt ever exp points bars in doubles anyway was there?

That just makes want to get the games 600 times more :D

Eggie Poo Poo June 18th, 2009 8:57 AM

The boxes that display the HP bars look good, but the edge on the left (for the player facing the Pichu's) looks so damn jagged.. its going to bother me after a while.

Britney's Circus June 18th, 2009 9:42 AM

Hopefully both Male and Female get seperate sprites! :D

Eggie Poo Poo June 18th, 2009 9:49 AM

Nah, I'd rather male female stay the same but HG has different sprites than SS.

Jorah June 18th, 2009 11:26 AM

The Pichu on the left side looks so cute doing that pose!

Britney's Circus June 18th, 2009 11:28 AM

Actually the Pichu on the left seems more of a baby Pokemon sprite then the one on the right, xD.

P l a t i n u m June 18th, 2009 11:30 AM

Looks really good. can't wait for the game.

billi1000 June 18th, 2009 11:50 AM

i dont see much of a change exept for the bars, hope some new moves will be released in these games, but i guess that a bit hard since these moves wont be compatible with previous games, although they did that in DPPt

Asztrik June 18th, 2009 12:46 PM

I like this a lot better than platinum's interface.

My thoughts exactly. Platinum's were a better color indeed.

incognito322 June 18th, 2009 1:18 PM

I agree as well; the color scheme for the boxes is like the D/P colors. The slanted look makes it look more modern. It probably would have looked better with a gold/silver color scheme.

Ayselipera June 18th, 2009 1:31 PM

I liked the Platinum boxes better, but I really don't care either way.

I lyk the new box thingees, plus i love the new pichu sprites^-^
plus seeing this could it mean that you can battle em both or is this just a wifi battle(cuz theres no exp thing)?

The two new Pichus came along great together. The Pikachu Colored Pichu looks like it is the same sprite from DPPt with just minor alternations. The Notch Eared Pichu however came a long better in my opinion and simply looks cute in battle. Though, they probably will keep the difference between male and female as it was done in DPPt. Now, when I say this, I do not mean there was a difference on how they were positioned, but the female Pikachu and Raichu had a little indent on their tail compared to the male Pikachu and Raichu sprites. In this battle though, they gave the Notched Pichu a total redesign from the regular Pichu sprite, which is new and I like the idea of it.

Now, as for the Health Box, they never show the Exp. points in double battles. They do appear through Wi-Fi [only in single matches] but it never changes in anyway. So, that has been kept the same here as was for the games before it. I like the sleek look and it is a lot simpler. Platinum's Health Bar does have a better design, I agree, but these are not half bad. I especially favor the smooth slant at the edge of it. Over all, a decent job and keeps me looking forward to what is next.

All 493 Pokemon Can Follow you, But there's alot of pictures of Pokemon following gold, such as

Totodile
Chickorita
Cyndaquil
Hoothoot
Teddiursa
Arceus
Steelix
Lavitar
Pichu's
& Maril Following the Female Trainer.

PKMNgamer June 18th, 2009 2:45 PM

Yeah... all of the pokemon. imagine groudon xD and I love the battle design... I hated the black HP boxes in Platinum... ugh... I love these. very cool.

Ritchie June 18th, 2009 2:54 PM

These ones look good, but I'd rather keep Platinum ones.

Samme! June 18th, 2009 3:20 PM

Hmm.... I wonder if the battle they are showing is from Soul Silver because the HP box is silver and maybe in Heart Gold the HP box is gold??? I doubt it but that'd be kinda cool i guess

Pokedra June 18th, 2009 4:11 PM

Those Pichu sprites are adorable 8D

The battle screen looks cleaner and better then Platinum in my opinion.

The only reason why I really believe Platinum's Health Bar has been altered was to match the basic theme off of Giratina. The black extended design off of the HP nicely matched his Ghost type appearance along with the darker gray style background set. So, I would see the reason why it was reverted back to the silver and simpler look like how it was in Diamond and Pearl as the game doesn't really have much correlation with Giratina besides the Arceus event. However, the different shape of it simply makes it its own rather than taking the direct look off of Diamond and Pearl.

You know, this is a cool idea, but I wouldn't like to see the Silver style turn Gold. In my opinion it might not have looked as appealing as it does now. Not to forget, the difference in HP Bars were never changed according to the version of the game, however it could be possible [a lot of new features never seen before have been implemented in these remakes compared to past games]. Though, I'd rather it remain [in both games] how it is portrayed here. It is a lot more simpler and easier to focus on, especially for those who player both versions over one.

DassenSupes June 18th, 2009 5:12 PM

I feel pretty indifferent o it, as long as the more important things are updated, like making it actually a challenge.

alisaie June 18th, 2009 5:15 PM

I never actually saw the Platinum HP bars (or at least long enough to have an opinion), but the boxes do look nice; much better than the D/P ones. -nod-

Masta Trainer June 18th, 2009 5:21 PM

the pichu on the left looks pretty cool, i hope that they apply that to other pokemon as well

G/S (or even Crystal for that matter) had a color scheme?

I think you misunderstood what this person was trying to say. It wasn't meant to say that they Health Bar should match that of the original Gold and Silver games, but the actual color of what it is now should have been a mix of gold and silver instead. It was an easy misunderstanding, but I prefer it how it is now [a lot more simplier with its own originality] rather than having a mix of two colors. Two colors like that together mixed might have been to much. Plus, nothing overly done needs to be implemented for this as it is only to keep track of the remaining life while in battle or out of it, so it isn't an excessive deal to me, but at least it was put to have a nice appearance for the most part.

Shem June 18th, 2009 6:10 PM

I like the sleek look to the boxes, but why don't they have an exp bar in the double battles still? There's obviously room.

I like the Notched ear and pikachu colored pichu sprites, but I wonder what the regular Pichu sprites look like now. And do you think you can catch one of the Pichus? Obviously not both but one or the other. that would be cool, i wonder how the notched ear Pichu would look like as Pikachu or a Raichu...

Samme! June 18th, 2009 6:13 PM

Well, it is a Wi-Fi battle so there are never exp bars

Showing the EXP. bar wouldn't be really necessary in a double battle. Not to mention, even though it looks like there is enough room now, it could easily be taken up by two slim-like bars that increase as you gain closer to raising another level.

The regular Pichu sprite more than likely will look just like the Pikachu-Colored Pichu as there isn't anything different with them except this one is a shiny. The Notch Eared Pichu however [in a way] deserves the new sprite compared to the rest as it is like a new form. Also, you can have both Pichus because the Pikachu Colored Pichu you obtain in the movie event and the Notch Eared Pichu you catch within the game. Not to mention, you need to have the Pikachu Colored Pichu to activate the Notched Pichu event within HGSS in the first place. As for it evolving and how it may look, I wonder about that too.

Actually, in single battles the EXP. bar is still visible through Wi-Fi, it just doesn't shift any higher. The same goes for within the game as well. It is just that the game developers never really thought about the need to have it shown during a double battle [at least so I think].

Samme! June 18th, 2009 6:22 PM

Ohh, ok i forgot thanks... (haven't wifi battled in awhile)

It actually does look like there's room but i think that if they were in there than the battle would seem a little too over crowded

Um, did that really have anything to do with this specific thread on the new battle design?

To be honest with ya, this would be overkill. There's already 493 out there, and I was originally going to get D/P, but I skipped out on them just because I thought Nintendo/Game Freak was getting a little uncreative with some of the designs. May not be much of a reason, I know, but eh, it's just my opinion of it. Don't get me wrong, some look cool, like Giratina and Staravia among others, and I started out the 4th gen with the anime, but there were some that just weren't really "eye-candy," I guess, and with that many, I'd imagine they'd run out of steam with the ideas.

Still, I guess getting these games'll expose me to some of the 4th gen I haven't seen, and I might find some favorites. But moving on...

The boxes do look cool, especially with that blown-in kinda look to 'em. It'd have been kinda nice to have a sort of Gold/Silver mix or something depending on the game, but I won't mind these. Although...they do look a bit big in double battles compared to the other ones. =/ (Might be just the 3rd gen I'm speaking for, though)

Can't wait for a gameplay video where we hear the Trainer (or even Gym Leader?) Battle theme. XD

fenyx4 June 18th, 2009 8:25 PM

Man, the Pichu family is booming! An exclusive move (Volt Tackle), item (Light Ball), and now a new "Forme"? (tentatively Notch-Eared Pichu). Whoa... :t172: :t025: :t026:

As for the design, the pure white is a little different from the white-tan color I'm used to, but it'll grow on me, I guess. It would be slightly nice if EXP. Bars were shown in double battles as well, though, since there is now space.
But the slanted lines at the Health Box's edge is annoying the HECK out of me; it looks too jagged and pixelated in comparison to the smooth, sleek rectangles of old. I'll probably grow with the new Health Box design if only one side/edge is slanted, but if the Health Boxes are actual trapezoids, I'm gonna have a problem with that...

Compared to Platinum's Health Boxes, the (hopefully) one-side-slanted look does look like a fresh take on the previous design(s). However, I like Platinum's dark-gray coloring as well, I guess since it is a radical change in style and matchs Giratina's theme. But I'm also fond of the white-tan Health Box version... :\ Anyway, all 3 designs are appealing, and this new one makes HG/SS all the more unique. :) PLEASE, NO TRAPEZOIDS, GAME FREAK!!!

Notch-Eared Pichu looks so cute! I'd probably catch that if I had to choose over it and shiny Pichu, because I think I can generate Shiny Pichu elsewhere, as opposed to the one-of-a-kind Notch-Eared Pichu. Different poses for each gender for each Pokemon could be nice, I guess.
At least more gender variants should be added this time around, if different gender poses are the case here.

The Gaurdian June 18th, 2009 8:27 PM

I dont see the difrence between old and new. will someone point it out please.

derozio June 18th, 2009 9:37 PM

I think I uderstand what Aero's theory is about the platinum boxes's relation to giratina's theme. I think these new boxes are cool. But I still kinda prefer those platinum boxes over these ones :/ .

sonicisrad June 18th, 2009 11:25 PM

Meh, the boxes seem abit crammed to me...

I wanna hear the Kanto Leader one. Anyway the design is nice and simple. I wonder if it will be gold in HG and Silver in SS. IF so and they are using a lot of SS to show the game off I will laugh.

billi1000 June 19th, 2009 12:04 AM

ya i m really excited the to hear the new music when battling the gym leaders in kanto and johto, the one for the kanto gym leaders in gold and silver was plain awsome, ya maybe they will make the color of the bars change with the version, the sprites look awsome for now, and we ve got a bunch of them for now.

If you look at the top right corner, you notice the signal thing. Plus, since it is a double battle, there won't be an EXP place. Even in a normal 2 vs 2 battle. Sorry if I sound rude.

I hope they include an option that allows you to change this new HUD and the text boxes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them keep this feature to where we can change the designed borders of the text boxes. It has been done for every game since RSE. I'm sure they might come up with some newer designs though compared to that from DPPt. Anything gray, red, or blue will be satifisying for me though. However, during the battles I'm hoping they keep the back figure animations brought in from Platinum. It was a nice addition and I think it may be beneficial for the remakes here. It seems possible, especially knowing all the changes they've done recently and newer features included as well.

I'm hoping for more sprites too.

The Pokemon only had two sprites but they did do a great job of animating the Pokemon within a 2 sprite limit.

I can't wait to meet my buddy, Lugia again ...

BeachBoy June 19th, 2009 12:32 PM

I'm not sure what to think.

Part of me feels they're too bulky, but I guess that's because it's a double battle. It's nice, though, I'm just... not in love with that overall design.

SDODC13 June 24th, 2009 5:10 PM

In Battle.
 
Do you think that they will keep most of the same battle animations as were used in D/P/Pt or will they make new ones.

Also I'm alsocurious if they actually did this with Lg/Fr as well. If they did not with these two would they do it with Hg/Ss?

Questions or Comments?

Starsky June 24th, 2009 5:47 PM

I dont think they will redo the battling system exept for the spirites. I dont know about Lg/Fr.

Kyo Wolf June 24th, 2009 6:49 PM

I think that they will keep the DPPt battle system with maybe a slight chance of a couple of new attacks. The only thing different with the battle system will probably just be the sprites used. I think it would be awesome if they maybe came up with a new move for Ho-oh or Lugia though. :P

Ayselipera June 24th, 2009 7:17 PM

Just like the others probably the only different thing will be the Sprites. Besides that I know the little battle boxes have changed, but its nothing we haven't seen before.

bobandbill June 24th, 2009 10:05 PM

Merged the new topic on battle animations and systems with this pre-existing one.

I don't really expect much in the way of changes, tbh... although the idea of an redone version of the old Hydro Pump attack appeals to me, somehow. XD

Artemis June 25th, 2009 5:07 AM

Looking back, Platinum itself had changed some of the battle animations when compared to Diamond and Pearl. So, if the moves had to be changed in animation during battle I would think it may follow that of Platinums. However, these games were in -progress since three years ago, so it is a possibility that the battle animation may not alter at all from that of Diamond and Pearl. The basic thing that I think may change though is sprites. The sprites of the Johto and Kanto Pokémon together may be changed, but not the Hoenn and Sinnoh sprited Pokémon. Also, the Pokémon's animation itself within the game, might be slightly altered, I would think. Other than this, and the possible thought about back sprite animation, I wouldn't think anything much would be changed for much difference than that of DPPt.

manga_meijin2 June 25th, 2009 1:11 PM

I do like everything about that picture :) The new box things are freakin cool and I'm xcited to see notched ear Pichu has it's own sprite! Maybe more Pokemon will be like this? My fingers are crossed!

s0nido June 25th, 2009 5:10 PM

I don't mind the new battle theme, but the best design was the one in Diamond and Pearl. In Platinum, they overdid it a bit, so the theme in Hg/Ss is a bit better.

Scythe_Ironclaw June 25th, 2009 5:28 PM

Personally I cannot wait for the Japanese launch of this game. I am going to DL it and play it ASAP on my DSi. This game I will play through twice on both games without cheat codes. This game is just that good.

Flyingtacos June 25th, 2009 7:54 PM

guyz this picture is for the notch eared pichu event. It's kind of a cutscene. U don't get to battle.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but... no, that doesn't mean it's a Wi-fi battle.They've never shown the Exp. bar in double battles, remember? And, if I remember right, they do show the exp bar in single Wi-fi battles.

engage' June 25th, 2009 8:51 PM

I think it looks hawt. I guessed after D/P came out they would remake Gold/Silver, seeing as they remade Green/Red. XD;
Does anyone know the release date in Australia while I'm here?

I really like the grey, simplistic design. Also, I noticed that there isn't an experience bar.
And, there are two different Pichu sprites, with different colourings. Perhaps this is a fake? Or an edit of an original?

Woah, I see Hoenn is the only thing that is left untouch(not counting Sinnoh as it had Platinum). I forsee the R/S remake coming soon on 5th-gen, no? Maybe at year 2012? As many speculate that 2010 is the year of 5th-gen!! Sorry for the off topic...

Does anyone know the release date in Australia while I'm here?

I really like the grey, simplistic design. Also, I noticed that there isn't an experience bar.
And, there are two different Pichu sprites, with different colourings. Perhaps this is a fake? Or an edit of an original?

Australia? Man they hadn't announce the North America version yet...
I think the Australian version will be release on next year, at fall.

You mean the "Notched-ear Pichu" and the "Pikachu colored Pichu"?
They are for real my friend!!
You'll understand it if you watch the 12th movie - the one that features Arceus, the Johto starters and the Dragon trio.

I've been beat, but I'll say it anyway. It's official, not a hack. The one on the left is the Gizamimi (or "notched ear") Pichu, and the other one is the Pikachu-colored
pichu. (Haven't you heard of shiny Pokémon?) And once again, there are no experience bars in double battles. Never have been, never will be. -.-

The simplistic look is what I enjoy the best out of it as well. I just think with this it doesn't make anything look too overly done or clustered. However, like said before me, during tag team matches [Double Battles] the Experience bar never appears and I don't know if it ever will as things can always change later on.

As for the the two Pichus, is is completely real like you've been told. It is just that with the newest movie coming out [Featuring Arceus] there is the Notch Eared Pichu who also stars in it. This will explain the difference in ear and sprite for the battle. Also, the differentiated color is only because the darker Pichu is called a Pikachu Colored Pichu and it is basically a shiny. There are events held outside and within the game involving these two, so I'm sure you'll hear more about it.

Yeah, I don't think Third Generation Pokémon might get a change in sprite when it comes to battles. However, even though it has been said there there is no plans for another remake, I do possibly see a Hoenn remake coming out in the next few years or so, but not anytime soon at the moment. Although, it does make me think, seeing as though the Hoenn legends are being included, I wonder if it is a possiblity that their battle sprites might have an alter.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 26th, 2009 9:33 AM

No plans for remake? Come on, Nintendo stated that there's no G/S remake, but suddenly this year they just gave us a surprise!! So I'm not sure about it.

In Platinum's case, there are none Sinnoh Pokemon that gained new sprites. So the case might be similar.

It looks good. I just hope they keep the experience bar on single battles.

By looking back at every game we've had since Red and Blue, the experience bar has always been kept for players to visually see in battle. The reason why I can possibly assure you that it won't ever be removed [more than likely not] is because it is an important aspect to the game. Without it, the player cannot tell whether or not how close you Pokémon may be to the next level.

This is especially useful to know when EVing a Pokémon or simply out of curiosity by the trainer. However, I believe it was never placed in double battles as it might not have been needed at the time or might have taken up the room for the screen seeing as there are two Pokémon on each side. However, I wouldn't expect them to remove it for single play at all as leveling up to the next level will be hard for players to pin point if it were to be so.

Mr.Silver June 26th, 2009 8:35 PM

Looks nice and i cant wait to get pichu

Hypergaming June 30th, 2009 1:32 PM

I like the new look it is a good change.

mikey June 30th, 2009 5:52 PM

Eh, it seems kind of plain. Platinum's was better. But it's alright.

Saves June 30th, 2009 7:33 PM

I don't think Red and Blue had EXP. Bars, they only put them in for G/S/C. =]

(Playing Pokemon Yellow and No EXP. Bar. >.< )

Anywho, I kinda like the look of these boxes.
The Notched-Ear Pichu looks cute in its pose. xD

Actually, compared to Diamond and Pearl the Health Bar does have its differences. It is higher in depth compared to that in DPPt. However, it is a lot less simpler. Which these aren't bad features, but the look of Platinum's did come out better. However, it isn't something I would nitpick on as much as other features or displays in the game. The reason why is because it isn't as important as other things in the game in my opinion. However, it does have its differences giving it a new look for the game. Also, when compared to the originals, I'd say it is a big change.

What you see marked in red is the EXP. Share bar used in either RBG or Pokémon Yellow. This was also found in Pokémon RBYG. So the older versions did have the Exp. Bar and it has been continued ever since. It is just a way so players can know how far or close they are to leveling up.

Unknown Entity July 1st, 2009 6:07 AM

Yes but the little part at the bottom marked in red doesn't fill up or anything. O.o

Ephraim July 1st, 2009 6:56 AM

Well, hopefully they make the HP bars go down faster. (Gameplay in Platinum JUST got slower, compared to the Generation I, II and III games.)

What platinum version have you been playing? DP is the slow version. Platinum was like DP with a jetpack strapped on.

Maybe you're just fighting Pokémon with high HP? I haven't noticed any slowness.

He wouldn't have marked it if he didn't know it filled up. It looks decorative, but it actually turns blue when you gain experience.

Now, I never said anything about the blue fill in effect when gaining experience. I just pointed out that the decorative design I squared off is what later became the Experience Bar. However, it is an added in feature now and makes gameplay a whole lot easier knowing when you are closer to leveling up.

Er...HP deduction's speed depends on how much HP the Pokémon has. For example, a Pokémon with 20/20 HP will go down faster than a Pokémon who has HP with about 500/500, such as Blissey, who's HP takes awhile to decrease whether the move be super effective or not.

However, Platinum's battle speed did increase compared to Diamond and Pearl, so I wouldn't expect HGSS to go any slower. Not only in battle, but in surfing as well, DP has a slow speed in surfiing, while Platinum picked up the lag. With this being said, I would expect HGSS to carry on that continuous speed like in Platinum.

Dude, I've been playing the game for the past 3 hours, it does NOT fill up.

It sounded like you were saying that it filled up when you said that it was the EXP. Bar, when I posted saying that Red and Blue had no EXP. Bar I meant that they had no bar showing how far into leveling you were, seeing as how the decorative bar doesn't do anything. (Until G/S/C as I said xD) =]

Fair enough, and I can understand where you are coming from. I guess it was the way I worded what I said that said one thing, but sounded like something else. However, now you know that when I mentioned the decorative bar in RBYG I was simply referring to it as so, because like you've stated, later on it did end up being known as the Exp. Bar in GSC. Now, since then, we've known it as so and the remakes have kept it as so.

Actually when you think about the cycle in battling, the original GSC changed a lot of it. Seeing as after about ten years since the first GS Japanese release, the same things it brought back then is making a comeback in battle now. It is quite interesting when thought about. To tell you the truth, you can quite say GSC is what made Pokémon battling kind of how it may be now as it set some pretty good standards for the future Pokémon games after it.

Robot From Heaven July 1st, 2009 11:13 AM

oohhh very nice..but a bit bland though escpecially the colour

JustinDestruction July 1st, 2009 7:59 PM

I prefer the Platinum boxes. I liked how they were square.

Niprop July 1st, 2009 9:46 PM

Pichu gets not one, not two, but three seperate sprites?

If that is so, can I have a ridge-headed Porygon sprite as well as a flat-headed Porygon? Please?

z4pd0s July 2nd, 2009 11:37 AM

since they are male and female pichus thats probably why they look different. CAN'T WAIT FOR HG/SS:classic:

Ellie July 2nd, 2009 11:47 AM

Ehh, they're allright, nothing spectacular. At least they're not extremely ugly =P

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 7th, 2009 10:22 AM

They aren't ugly but it really doesn't matter to me because I'm going to be focused on the battle more then I am with the boxes, better then Pokemon Platinum


:t354:TG

Nemaru July 7th, 2009 5:10 PM

There's never an EXP bar in double battles. Plus, you already own Pikachu-Colored Pikachu, otherwise you can't get the Notched-Ear Pichu.

Turke July 8th, 2009 12:10 AM

I like it, the boxes look really cool like that.

nikkooh July 8th, 2009 5:53 PM

go to serebii.net and they have loads of screenshots

Black Ice July 8th, 2009 5:55 PM

It looks so plain =| I liked Platinum's the most.

Allure XI July 8th, 2009 6:10 PM

The sprite for Gizamimi Pichu is simply adorable!

Xashlei July 11th, 2009 11:22 PM

Looks cool, but I prefer Platinum's.
