Well' I'm kinda concerned that Game freak have run out of ideas for new Pokemon, I mean the 3rd gen ones were pretty stupid and unimaginative.

Ziggy January 29th, 2006 8:10 AM

Ah now that is a common complaint, as most of the Ruby and Saphire pokemon were still imaginative but yet know where near as good as the original 151. I think they'll make another 100 but they'll have great difficulty to make 50 (totally new[no new evolutions])!

What do you mean? Jigglypuff line already has a pre-evo and evo...

I hope GameFreak actually do something with neglected first gen Pokemon.

Like Tangela and Lickitung.

Agreeing, considering the likes of Plusle/Minun/Luvdisc/Taillow. Although Pokemon like Snorunt make me go "wtf O_o" and the legendaries are pretty cool

Anyways, I think they might make an even 500 species of Pokemon, and the 501st Pokemon will be another Mew/Celebi/Jirachi.

I read this topic, but it was closed so I couldn't reply. According to this, you will be able to trade pokemon from R/S/E, R/G, and maybe Colloseum.

Here's another link that also says it's true.

DS has 2 slots. One for DS games and one for GBA carts. I think you get my drift :p

Same thing they did for Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon Red/Blue.

Cyndapack February 5th, 2006 10:31 AM

I've heard a rumor that you don't have to be a Trainer. The rumor says you can join the Teams (Rocket, Magma, Aqua) or become a Gym Leader.
I don't believe it, but it is still a possibility, as we don't know much about Pearl and Diamond.

Blargh, most likely false. Ninetendo is not going to change around Pokemons storyline and if they did, it would be for the third special version like Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald.

Chiru February 5th, 2006 1:53 PM

I personally think that being able to be a team member or a gym leader is a pretty sweet idea, but not for the latest game in the handheld adventure series. Whenever you change something that drastically, there's always a chance of losing old fans and attracting a new crowd of people, which I really don't want to see happen to Pokemon. If they did that at all, I'd prefer if they did it in a "side" game specifically for that. However, I do wonder how exactly they could pull something like that off. I guess if you were in a team you could go on missions and things like that, but what about being a gym leader? What would you do, sit around in a gym for hours and hours waiting for some newb trainer to show up?

grandmaster192 February 12th, 2006 1:56 AM

I hope mewtwo is available.

Toga February 13th, 2006 2:57 PM

Well my favorite pokemon is Munchlex.That will be there with new ones too.But Iwill keep you posted because, I have a ds,and a game cube.

DIAMOND AND PEARL ANNOUNCEMENT (not huge news, but it is positive!)
 
As quoted from Bulbapedia:

"While no formal release date has yet been announced, an official statement was made today at the Nintendo DS Conference! Spring 2006 (ニンテンドーDS カンファレンス! 2006.春」), promising that the eagerly awaited Pokmon Diamond and Pearl games will be released in Japan sometime before the years end. This is the first official statement regarding the games since the original announcement of the games being in development.

Sadly, no further information on the games was forthcoming. As always, Bulbanews will keep a close eye on further developments."

Zangooser March 2nd, 2006 5:27 AM

Sup guys,

I know, I haven't been here at PC in a while XD
well, In some ways, GAMEFREAK makes up pokemon from everyday things, like animals......check my sig to know what I mean

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 5th, 2006 12:13 PM

I seen exactly what you mean. If we are talking about what type of animal you will like to see as a pokemon it should be a very rare animal that you never knew about.

Exactly.........I think GAMEFREAKS's prob is their not thinking out of the box enough

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 6th, 2006 4:05 PM

There should be less of birds and maybe more elephants. Or maybe a saber tooth tiger or a Mamoth. Exntict animals seem fine they should probably do that.

Amen to that. I thought a lot of them were pretty ugly, too. X_x
I didn't even buy any of the 3 gen games b/c of it. I prefer the 251 pokemon. There were some uninventive pkmn in the 2nd gen too, but there were a lot of cool ones that made up for it.

How many are there now?........6?

djvolcom March 7th, 2006 4:43 PM

i like the orginal 251 pokemon, they were made way before hoenn, stupid 135 new pokemon!

Zangooser March 8th, 2006 4:18 PM

I saw some new 4th generation pokemon.
One is the pre-evolution of mantine, a dogfish pokemon, and a bird with a music note on its head.....

Well atleast they are making Pokemon look like a music like things. Well besides Chimecho being a bell like thing or something like that. They really need to stop with the pre-evolutions and combine animals together.

SneazelClaws March 12th, 2006 2:04 AM

Yer i like the original 150 pokemon.
Blue was the best, with the GBPocket wer u control the contrast...
Those were the days...
In G/S/C it did bring sum new 'zing' into the game, although the only decent pokemon was Sneazel.
Then...when i played Sapphire, i only kept it for a week, to finish it, coz it sucked and i got my money back and got Metroid instead.
Anyways, enough of my nostalgia....
I really hope the DS titles are decent, and they incorporate plenty of good WIFI and online components.
And what the hell is with that rescue thing and that crappy looking ranger game?!

It says on certain websites that there will be no wifi. But that will be great. You go in a room and they ask you what level range is your Pokemon just like the pokemon tower in Crystal version . Then you battle all around the world like you race different people in Mario Kart DS.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Zangooser March 12th, 2006 11:40 AM

Oh yeah, I fogot the DS's WiFi feature........
That would be nice though.............an extended wireless adapter.........

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 13th, 2006 5:07 PM

You heared thaT that bird looking Pokemon is only a pure flying type. When I heared it I was bugging out.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Zangooser March 14th, 2006 4:40 PM

O.o?
Whoa.........I'll be sure to add him/her into my party.......(Inculding Lucario)

Toothache March 15th, 2006 5:11 AM

A bird with a musical note on it's head? Sounds like it should be able to learn Sound-based moves like Metal Sound and Hypervoice and so on, kind of like a flying Exploud.

I see they've given Sneasel an evolution, that would be cool, since I like Sneasel but they aren't great in competitive battles.

Lt. Surge's Raichu March 15th, 2006 6:17 AM

Can't it be a star or a sword, or something, instead od a note??

You are absoloutely right. It does have a musical symbol on its head. Why not it have soundproof and have some sound based moves as it moves.

that would take out the whole concept of what that pokemon is about. it will probably be like pidgey with evos and can be caught early in the game.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 16th, 2006 2:36 PM

there is a Pokemon that has a star on there face kind of Raikou does. But does it really matter the Pokemon was made it's very unique because it is the only flying type with no other type.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm March 18th, 2006 10:07 PM

more percipitation! XD
 
I think since it is kind of a White set of versions...xD, it should have snow and hail!!! Is it like...never EVER winter in pokemon??? WInter is funnnn! there should be an autumn too where you see leaves falling... and in spring, blossoms falling, and in summer maybe just sparkles or something! And thunder when it rains! And has there never been a fire in pokemon ever? that too! its not like the whole entire world is safe from natural disasters and dat stuff! XD

superd188 March 19th, 2006 6:04 AM

Iv played Dimond version on a computer, it is kind of weird though it might have been just a different version of it though when I played it you dont catch pokemon, you get there phone number and call them and they could talk it was very werid I dont even know if was the real thing.

bluestorm March 19th, 2006 10:33 AM

I hope it wasnt! And it probly wasnt.. probly just an inside joke but still...... And were'd you find it? Id like to see it myself! *tears up pokemon diamond impersonaters*

bluestorm March 19th, 2006 11:36 AM

i think yer talking about one of those "fake" games.

Raze-finiarel March 19th, 2006 3:13 PM

I personally them bringing Seasons and Day/Night features in the game. The DS does have a pretty nice calender and time system installed, and since they made Nintendogs, they've fixed some of the problems with turning time ahead and getting things to come quicker. Seasons would be GREAT, and it's a possibility, but day and night isn't because It was Nintendofied. (Inside Joke) They said that it was causing young children to stay up late waiting for a certain time. Oh, well. Also, I'd love to see another monkey, like an Aipom Evolution, and a Crane or Flamingo. And even though I REALLY love them and think the are cute, NO MORE EEVEELOUTIONS! I wouldn't mind a grass type, Like Sakureon or something, but there are already too many. Same with fossils. We also need another Chrono Pokemon. Well, there's my 2 cents.

PKMN Nick March 19th, 2006 3:39 PM

Hay how about calling out PKMN Attks. using the Mike??might work...

Maybe not,but I think they should take an advantage of all the DS features.

Touch-Raise PKMN's friendship for evolution,like Golbat-Crobat(Didn't like the GB friendship thing)
Maybe in a contest of battle show what part of the body to hit.

Blowing(remember Touch XX/YY)-Strenght of Gust/Wind atks. in a PKMN contest/battle.
Mini-Game

Microphone-Talk to pokemon.uhhhh

Hey I think there should be one handheld PKMN game that will allow you to have people with you and you can manage their teams and stuff(like Tales of Symphonia)

Bowsa March 19th, 2006 4:21 PM

well i got a rom for gba that was named pokemon diamond i was like wtf!??!?!?! but it out to e weird pokemon with "elctric monsters' and all the pokemon follow u like pikachu in poke yellow

bluestorm March 20th, 2006 2:34 PM

OMG .... i just hope we dun have to PET our pokemon! *falls over* And i hope time doesnt go by when yer not playing.... i mean, yah day and night and seasons but what if yer pokemon do bad in battle or hate you if you dont check in often enough like nintendogs? O_O I just gave ndgs up cuse i dont have time to chack in evvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeerrrry day! Ive got hmwrk to do yah kno?!?!?!?!?

And yeah! Go seasons! *whoop! whoop!*

bluestorm March 20th, 2006 2:36 PM

nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooo! I dun wan it all to change so fassstt....... I HOPE ITS NOT LIKE THAT ROM...... whered you get it anyhoo?

Pikachuu! March 23rd, 2006 12:59 AM

I am really intrested in what they are going to do with the dual screen. What are they going to have on the bottom and proably the top will be the main screen, with the main character walking around.

*Bluestorm you can get the fake ROMS from any P2P program. They aren't that good.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 24th, 2006 12:37 PM

They should let you chose the color of the hair,eyes and so forth.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm March 24th, 2006 1:33 PM

* thanks!

And yeah, that would be cool! Im eager to see how they'll use the advantages of two screens. In a battle your partay pokemon will probly be in one screen, and in teh other, the battle.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 25th, 2006 11:20 AM

They did that in MD Blue so they will probably do that.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

awesome! I wonder if there shall be...hm....maybe triple battles? XD Well i dunno though....i suppose there would be both good and bad sides to that.

I think a double battle is a little too much for certain people. They should make voice commands.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm March 25th, 2006 12:29 PM

Yeah, but if they did that you should be able to turn it on and off. otherwise on teh bus....., " PIKACHU! THUNDERBOLT!!! MAUAHAH! YES!"

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 25th, 2006 12:35 PM

They better have voice commands. They are taking way to long on this game. In the old days they use to make Pokemon like that *snaping my finger*. But now its taking forever

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm March 27th, 2006 1:53 PM

Yeah, that would be awesome! But I would want it to be turned on and off, ack... my voice would hurt! :D But yeah, itd be awesome!

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 27th, 2006 4:56 PM

Oh now I know what you mean. They should have that.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm March 28th, 2006 1:25 PM

yup :) I hope we'll be able to tell our pokemon to dodge and stuff like that and maybe more attacks like instead of 4...8? Pikachu knows way more than 4: Irontail, Thundershock, tackle, Thunder, Thunderbolt, double team, quick attack, Dodge (well sorta), and many others.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 28th, 2006 4:34 PM

8 sounds like too many. that is a good idea to tell to dodge

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Razzzzzza March 29th, 2006 9:59 AM

Lol Diamond, Makes Me remember being on holiday about 8 and buying a Game called Pokemon Diamond, When all it really was, was mario with pikachu... :( Hope this wont be that, I will have to buy it and use on my bro's DS I got a PSP instead.

bluestorm March 29th, 2006 1:21 PM

yeah, maybe not 8....but 6? Just...more than 4.... And if it was mario w/pika i would probly scream... grr... anyway, im sure it wont be like that... oh and another idea... i dunno if its a good one, but when yer flying on your bird pokemon, you should see like...an intro, like in colloseum and xd when your going to a new town, you see your self riding your scooter and it shows you different views of the new place. There should be a little intro like that when your entering a new town or when your flying. I think they could do that with a ds. so yeah, more graphics and stuff.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 29th, 2006 2:50 PM

Yeah i totally agree with the 6 command thingie.

:t003:Dark Venusaur

Trainer Rachel April 2nd, 2006 12:06 PM

Yeah, bluestorm, i think it'd be awesome to have an intro or whatever for when you're flying. Like, maybe on the topscreen they show you on your pokemon flying (or if they want to be more general if could be like a shadowed pokemon, not your exact one) only it should be in first person view so it looks like your really flying through the clouds and stuff, and then on the bottom they could show the map as your chara. sprite moves from the place you left to the place you're going.

And yeah, voice commands (w/ an on/off option) would rock!

bluestorm April 2nd, 2006 4:04 PM

Yeah! I hope that happens!

That will be a great idea. But what will be on the bottom screen while you are flying in the air. The same thing with digging, you will actually see that Pokemon dig a hole. Also with the HM Flash the Pokemon can be out of its Pokeball and do this into you get out of the cave

:t003:Dark Venusaur

bluestorm April 6th, 2006 1:33 PM

Coolie! I mean they already show the pokemon across the screan when you use moves that can be used outside of battle. I think they're ready to go one huge step further! I think dp will be ALOT different than RSE especially in graphics! GSC Was way different than RBY, especially in color. In RSE i was surprised at the amazing graphics that were SO much different than GSC. So Im pretty sure im expecting alot of new graphics from DP.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 6th, 2006 3:40 PM

Charizards_leader April 7th, 2006 3:06 PM

That would be so gay...

Actually that will be a good idea because it will show how much you love that Pokemon and that can increase the friendship even more. Grooming will be great for Pokemon Contest and you are actually feeding them the Pokeblock.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 8th, 2006 10:10 AM

Since there is touch screen abilities in Pokemon Dash, Mystery Dungeon Blue, Pokemon Trozei and that stupid Pokemon Ranger game they will probably have something like pet your Pokemon and groom them for Pokemon contest. (Thats if they have one)

If there were a poke flute it would be cool if you had to blow into the mic. to play it. Kind of like in mario kart DS where you need to blow into the mic. to blow up the baloons.

i think the touch screen should(though it probably wont) be a map, with all the trainers, grass, obsticles, or whatever, and whenever you touch the trainer it shows you info on them if you've battled them before, or if they want to battle again.

well as long as its like pokemon channel. you can pet pikachu if you want but dont HAVE TO. but it increases friendship! :D

Hmm.. and more touch screen abilities... perhaps you dont even use the pad (you can if you want) but you can just drag the stylus and thats the way your chari will go.

Excitement is no reason to double post...

But, yeah, the touch screen has quite a few possibilities...the least that they could do is let you select Pokemon/attacks/items vis the touch screen.

They had it like that on Super Mario 64 DS and I never liked it. I'd prefer if they had the trainer up on the top screen and the backpack, map, or whatever on the bottom screen.

I personally like the petting/grooming idea, especially for Pokemon contests.

One thing I've always wanted to see in the Pokemon games is sort of a sports competition thing. Like if you have a fast Pokemon you can enter it in a race, and based on how well you train it, it'll try to win.

Touch screen? hmmm. I'm guessing something to do with closing pokeballs when you're trying to catch wild pokemon, e.g you have to draw a certain pattern. Although this would be a bit cliched I guess. (Castlevania etc)

Also use it to switch your squad around and move furniture in your den (if they keep this)

That will be a great idea:D

...Yeah, there are a lot of possibilities...

I have a question though, and want to back up a second to the Wi-Fi topic...If Nintendo indeed throws Wi-Fi into D/P (as we all know they will), are we going to put up a thread/section on here to discuss who's whatever and/or set up meetings, battles, trades, etc over Wi-Fi?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 12th, 2006 3:10 AM

I've always wonder if they will ever have a Pokemon dentist. Hey because we get cavites why not them.

bluestorm April 12th, 2006 4:01 AM

eeheheeh! Good point! ;) O_O i hope we dun have to pick a job (breeder, gym leader, dentist O_o, etc) EErmmerm...i dunnoo about you but i prefer not to look at a pikachu's teeth.

Toothache April 12th, 2006 4:03 AM

I'd hate to see the dentist's drill used to fix a Steelix's teeth, that's for sure...

We really should pick what we want. I'll be a Pokemon breeder. I wonder how a Pikachu mouth looks like today

The drills can come in different sizes.

I've got 2 questions. One site said Diamond/Pearl and Ranger may not come out until NEXT year as in 2007. *chuckles* Of course not...right!?! lol. I don't think I can wait..
Oh and another question would be...snap I forgot it..I'll think of it eventually.

bluestorm April 17th, 2006 4:19 PM

Merp! I cant wait that long either! *shivers* I want it by christmas! *grumblegrumble*

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 18th, 2006 7:25 AM

I Know this as a fact D/P will not come out until 2007 for the US and anywhere else. You can tell because they don't even have a realese date yet! and thats just plain sad. Even if they did the games will take the US about 3-5 months just to come out. While other places it will take 2 months or more after the realese date for the US

Volkner's Apprentice April 18th, 2006 8:27 AM

*Cries* Nooo! Ugh...I was hoping they'd be out by the end of this summer..ah well. Usually I don't find out about new games until really close to the release so I'm not use to waiting. I can just go get Colliseum and try to get through that.

Ash&pikachuarethebest April 18th, 2006 10:50 AM

I like what you are saying about D/P and i have an idea that my friend gave me about the touch screen.
He said in battle maybe you chose an attack and then you have to draw a line from your pokemon to the other pokemon to aim your attack. I think it is a good idea in a way.
