    Awwwww you outrun me !

    Well , the review was nice and they got 94 % ! It was lame they didin't put in any Walker pics and they call Pokemon really weird ('Mon) .
     
    That EU thing is confusing me too.

    Awesome review, though! But I think it's a little short. And it's true that this is the biggest Pokemon game since the others, because you have two regions. Everyone says Johto is really small and that with Kanto it makes it a regular game, but I remember that FireRed and LeafGreen only had Kanto and they were sure dang long. =P I will surely be spending a bunch of time on it!
     
    Nobody told me about anti-step-fraud technology in the PokeWalkers! D= So much for the "taped to the washing machine" strategy.

    It's not like it would even matter; you can only level up a Pokemon by one level when it's in the walker.

    Aww ratatas. now I'll have to tape it to the dryer overloaded with wet jeans!
    But really, I don't see how it can tell walking from hand shaking apart.
     
    Awesome review!

    I knew about the PokeWalker "anti-cheating" thing, but that didn't stop me from just randomly tossing and throwing it around when I got SS in Japanese. It actually did work for a while, but then it "caught on" and stopped counting 15 steps for each time it bounced on the carpet... :nervous:

    Maybe I'll bring it to work one day and just leave it in my lab coat pocket and forget about it while I'm running around getting tests done... :D
     
    But looking around on youtube, I saw that you can cheat the pokewalker by taping it to a record player at an angle. So, I can imagine it will be even more of an adventure for the lazier folks to think of new ways to beat the anti-cheat.
     
    They said the GameCorner changes are in the EU version only. WTH? Im confused now. Other than that, this is a good review. Ill have to pick up Nintendo Power tonight.

    I think that may have been some bad fact-checking on their part. :\

    And I'm glad to see the games getting good scores from publications.
     
    Yay, this was great!

    I knew all this, about the game, of course, but it's nice to see what the officials think.


    Too bad the Swedish Pkmn magazine doesn't go on like this, they actually said this about DPPt: "I think it was really fun that you could name your Pokémon. Going around and battling others is alot of good times! 5/5"... I mean seriously...
    That magazine is basicly about Ash, May and max teaching the reader how many Pokéballs two plus three is. Nowadays. I prefer the good ol' times... :)
     
    Wow...now I'm going to reserve my SoulSilver copy today. 94%? Holy Slowpokes, that's amazing! Now, I must go to Gamestop...

    I hope the Voltorb Flip really is that addicting...
