Topic: Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl

It comes out on Sunday.

I got both of them preordered and paid off, and I'm about to Gainsgasm all over the place getting ready to boot it up.

Who's getting it and which version?

P.S. There's gonna be voice chat. This gonna be ace.

While everyone and their cousin (who plays Pokemon) will have it, I'll probably be going for Diamond.

I'm getting it, and Diamond version's the one I'm going for.

I plan to breed the fuck out of stuff from the previous games.

Any particular reason? I mean, aside from Legendaries and Starters, every Pokemon that has been in any game is catchable in Diamond/Pearl*.

*Between the two games. There's like 15-20 exclusives to each version as always.

It doesn't come out until Sunday?

Maaaaaan! I saw a display over at Circuit City on Tuesday and they already had them out to buy. I could've gotten a lot of them and sold them "early" for profit

I don't understand the draw of Diamond over Pearl, honestly. The legendary of Pearl is cooler looking and they're both pretty much the same thing with a different face.

Mostly because breeding stuff is going to be a hell of a lot easier than going through all the hoops that it's going to take to get the old stuff again.

(FUCK YOU SAFARI ZONE.)

Also, the starters of the prior generations are getting a lot of attention just because they're unobtainable.

And Palkia looks like a giant penis.

I'll be getting Diamond.

I like diamonds more than pearls, that's why.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Okay, I surrender... I'll prolly get Pearl, because it's reddish. Might as well pick up the headset thinger, too.

My Pokemon-obsessed nephew Connor will be so happy.

I went checking this afternoon to see if any of the stores here broke the release date. They hadn't. Though, I did pick up the DS headset. Tomorrow I'll go out looking for Pearl. Or Diamond, if that's all they have left.

If you haven't preordered it, your only hope to find it is going to be Target, Walmart, or some obscure mom and pop stores. The preorder numbers for the game are huge.

Mewtwo can be obtained in Fire Red/Leaf Green. Transferable to D/P via the Pal Park.

Mew is only available by going to Pokemon events like at Toys R Us. There was a Mew one not too long ago. I got one, and it shall probably be in my party as soon as I have access to the Pal Park.

Annarchae wrote, obviously thinking too hard:

If you own LeafGreen/FireRed, you can transfer a Mewtwo from one of those games into Diamond/Pearl once you unlock Pal Park, which requires that you see all 150 of the Pokemon in D/P's Pokedex.

Mew can be captured in Emerald, but you'll need to have gone to a Nintendo event to get the item that unlocks it. Easiest way to get it, IMO, is to have a Game Shark/Action Replay, and hack in the item. Once you've caught the critter, you can bring it into D/P via the same method as Mewtwo.

I have a new one on emerald, I prefer creating them, using the codes from a pokemon creator just for fun. Generally, it makes the game way too easy, so I tend to not use it that often.

What moves do you have on your mew? I've got recover, psywave, psybeam, and something else can't recall.

Edit: My old mew could beat five mewtwo's, and that's before shiny came out. That's like a power level over nine thousand!

You fought shitty Mewtwos.

Especially if you only have Psychic moves on it. What the hell were they? Level 2?

I smell a challenge. My mew versus whatever you can throw at me, sundown at the seasaw.

Edit: One of the moves is non-psychic currently, but as to back then I can't recall the exact lineup.
