i dont think many people are gonna look at this until its out and the questions should be changed to these when the game comes out:

-So since the game features 492 pokemon (of course some pokemon will appear in nintendo event, no Arceus) so which one is in your team?
-What is your explorer team name?
-Which version do you have?
I would like to hear about it!!!

When ever I get my money in time I'm gonna get both versions, and I'm gonna come on here a lot more, because it has wi-fi features in the game. It would be awesome if you can bring a friend over wi-fi with you to a mission. ;)

On the condition that I'll be able to tear myself away from Brawl...I'll be getting Darkness. Not sure on who will actually be in it, but I'll use the same team name as my old one.

Maybe it'll even get me back into rescuing others...

Well, since they're finding Wonder Mail Passes that unlock all version specific Pokemon, it doesn't matter which one you get anymore. But still, I want to get Lucario early, so I'll get Time.

And I saw the commercial for the first time today. I'm thinking of pre-ordering to get that guide book.

-The games feature about 400 Pokemon (Arceus and Shaymin is still in confirm) so which one will you recruit?

Probably just my favorites like I did in PMD1. o_O;

-What is your explorer team name?

I'll get back to you on that one.

-Which version do you have/ will you buy?

I will buy Time.

-Who will be your partner?

I hope to be Squirtle (named Mirumi) with a Cyndaquil partner (named Suzimo).
