Diamond and Pearl Demo
 
Yep, they had a demo at EB Games, i played it but i didnt get to finish the demo cause i was just there to reserve the game. You start off as the female character having Lucario, Roselia, and Mime Jr. in the team. You start at Jubilife City and you are then set off to a new route, once you leave the city, you can never return. There are some trainers and stuff. If you are very psyched about the game then you should try the demo.

Huh, cool. I'll have to check my local EB for that.

Samson April 8th, 2007 4:48 PM

is it downloadable? i hate messing with the nasty, handprinted display DS'es at the stores.

kingdomheartsII April 8th, 2007 4:51 PM

I dont know if its downloadable, i didnt bring my DS with me but i think it said DS download or something, so probably yes.

Myzou April 9th, 2007 4:54 AM

No, they're cartridges you insert in your DS :(

~Misty~ April 11th, 2007 2:15 PM

OH snap! Well I'll go to my local EB soon and see if they have it!

Samson April 11th, 2007 8:04 PM

i played it a few days ago. gotta say.... nothing XD

silly that they brandished lucario so early in the game.

*jawdrop*

Seriously??? Oh boy...well, I know what I'm going to do next time I go by my nearest one...

I haven't heard many good things about it, though...

idontnoWHOiam April 12th, 2007 11:35 AM

it sounds interesting, I'm not going to go to the mall just to play it but I guess if I go to an eb games before it comes out I'll try it XP

I really dont like playing demos, they suck because when you get into the game, you think that its actually the real game when it isn't

What about GameStop, hmm? :3

Ho-oh arabia April 13th, 2007 5:19 AM

Demos are only good for getting a bases for codes for AR and Gameshark.

LawLessChaoz April 13th, 2007 7:14 AM

I played the demo it was ok.

Colbat April 13th, 2007 7:42 AM

I'm gonna go and play the demo... I can't wait to get the real game though.

matthew23q April 13th, 2007 7:20 PM

that's where i played it.

the demo was pretty neat. i was pretty set on the idea that you'd only get to battle one trainer, but you get to battle three, which complements the three pokemon in your party. i'm especially enthusiastic because the back sprites for YOUR pokemon are animated as well! and finally, the evolution presentation at the end of it was pretty neat.

Yeah, IMO it was pretty bad, such as Blaziken, he turns red then shakes, WOAH!! omg! what an awesome animation.

Samson April 14th, 2007 12:52 AM

emerald sprites were just bad... the ones in D/P are pretty neat. the graphics just feel good one the eyes, yannow? it's sorta like when you've been playing X-BOX for 4 years and then your friend gets a 360, and after playing a few hours of it, playing your X-BOX feels bad on the eyes.

Buizel01 April 17th, 2007 1:07 PM

Shoot, I dont got an EB Games nearby... I'll just wait I guess.

Alexandrian April 17th, 2007 2:58 PM

omg me too i played the demo game and it was so cute.

Caleb290 April 17th, 2007 8:14 PM

from the ds menu select "ds download play"

I was at both Target & walmart earlier and neither store had a demo yet for the game. Kind of surprised considering the actual game comes out in 3 days. I guess this means only game stores will have a demo? (I mean GameStop or EBGames).

Possibly due to the fully 3D environment and the much better colored sprites. =P

Hiidoran April 19th, 2007 6:12 PM

I played the demo in EB, it was cool seeing it in English. I actually would have prefered that the full game be in the stores to try out, like RS was. I think I stayed in Wal-mart for about 4 hours that day. XD
