Oi, well, I wonder if they'll keep the animated trainer sprites from Platinum, they made no showing of trainers at all during the vid so, yeah...they might, probably even make all trainers animated, that's a hope, though the 3D Lugia and Ho-oh look strangely better than they did in the console games, I don't know why, they just did.

I hope Kris is at least in the game, it's just to bad that she is not the female choice.

It's not just "too bad," it's a tragedy! T^T Take out the character with fashion sense for a pile of poo will they? Nene~!>.> That was Nintendo's first mistake. But anyway, they don't need any new characters, Silver's badass enough to be the whole main cast.xDDD But on a more serious note, if they do add any more extras then it's likely to have character's centered around them, would you not agree?=]

Of course there's going to be a new handheld, remember, Nintendo themselves said that the DS is just a side-project, not meant to supplant the Game Boy, so we should expect a new one by 2011 at the earliest and 2014 at the latest, which is also around the same time that the 360 and wii will need to be replaced.>.> Yey, new Game Boy!=3 Nyah~!

The manga does not have much in common with the anime and games.

The manga has more in common with the games than the anime though, though, it all depends on which manga you're talking about, because Special has been said to embody the ideal of Pokemon by the creators of the game, whereas Electric Tale is closer to the anime, being based off of it.>.> I prefer Special however, I mean seriously, when do you see Pokemon that violent?xDD

What I really meant about Mewtwo not being the strongest is that the metagame has become more balanced overall. Mewtwo (and other Psychic types) used to dominate the gameplay, but in GSC they introduced Dark types (Psychic's foil) and Steel types (resistant to Psychic among other things), as well as some Pokémon geared specifically for taking down high power, low Defense Psychics (Heracross ftw).

And as for this, they also further balanced the meta in Platinum too, with new Bug-type moves, and the changing of the move system, whereas before one type would be either special or physical, now there's a whole possibility of things. Though, if there were a really epic battle between leg trainers, damn nubs, I'd go for the one with Mewtwo, I mean, Arceus just sucks, it was a terrible idea to begin with, Nintendo wouldn't have gotten away with that 15 years ago, god of Pokemon, puh-lease, religious groups would've been on their arse like flies on crap.xDDD

Yeah, it was confirmed that notched-ear was a girl in the new ending to Pocket Monsters: Diamond & Pearl.=3

I hope its gender is random. I want a boy Pichu. A female notch eared Pichu will just suck for a lot of people who care about gender.

It wouldn't be random gender because the notched-ear is a girl, it's already been stated that she's a she, so they wouldn't make it a boy and confuse all of us.>.>

Yeah... wifi would help those who don't have access to those special stores. I don't live any where very close to a GameStop, Toys R Us, or some big city where tournaments are held.

But I guess that's one reason we upload events?

Perhaps, perhaps.xDD Stupid GameStop.>.> IDs to trade games my arse!>.>

That would be cool if notched-ear is obtainable.>.> I wuffles her, she's so super-adorable. It's not fair!TT_TT But anyway, yeah, coolness for wi-fi eventage.xDDD They should do wi-fi events, 'cause I'm too lazy to take the 30 min. subway ride downtown to Toys 'R Us.>.>

Woosh! I'm here now, you're all saved.>.> Missed me guys? Been a couple days since my last post so yeah.=] Anyway, they'd better have Apricorns!>.> They were bwallin'.=D

Ugh. I like Gold's new look, but Silver (or whatever you wanna call her)... Looks like a cowgirl or something. Why can't we just have Kris? Why can't we make our own avatars!?

Exactly! So I can make one that looks like Kris!=] Or someone even more fashionable.=]

Who's Poop Sr?

On another note, I really hope that the skateboard isn't included -- it kind of destroys the originality of the games having a bike. Also, the new female character shouldn't have been added -- I was looking forward to what Kris would look like in Gen IV gfx .

Everyone knows Poop Sr. was Leaf, ugh, she had no sense of fashion either.>.> Neither did Hikari though, and, I'm a guy too, I just have gender issues that still need working out.>.>

I so agree. When I heard Gen 3 was coming out I was like WTH they are making MORE? Seriously, they are just beating a dead thunder horse if you ask me.

Ugh! I know, when I saw the new starters I puked, in my soul of course.('Cause no one likes to clean a mess.)>.>

Yeah, I know.

Don't worry, I'm totally with you. Kanto starters were original... and I hate that flaming monkey of poo as much as you do

Original 151 (or 251) FTW! I think it should have stopped there... seriously!

It did though, Nintendo stopped making Pokemon after Gold & Silver and moved on to another series of collectible monsters that had nothing to do with Pokemon but they sometimes like to do cross-overs, as seen with FireRed and LeafGreen.=]

Popularity doesn't really translate into quality. Johto (and Kanto, too, as many like to forget) had tons of filler episodes, regional Pokemon weren't used that much, and they had to plot-device out the Kanto starters because Ash wouldn't use the Johto starters otherwise.

There's generally 3 seasons/years for each main region+1 season for a "filler" arc (Orange Islands, Battle Frontier in Kanto, and the speculated Battle Frontier in Johto). Kanto was in "one" american season, but it encompassed like 80 episodes.

That has nothing to do with "butchered American dubs" , that's simply how the US does television, in seasons.

Either way, it's semantics. Just because the Japanese have them as 3 different shows, they are 3 different shows that feature many of the main and supporting characters and share the same continuity. It's really the same show.

I guess it's 'cause I started with the Japanese version, but I really hate the American dub.>.> And yeah I know that's how they do TV, but Pokemon wasn't American, but whatever, they only really just stopped butchering Anime over here anyway.>.>

It really is, but some Pokes just can't do as well...

Hm? Like I said, anyone can do well, if they know their strategy.=]

Shoddy? Well, as long as you give me a good battle, then I'll give you my best as well, and I'll prove that strategy is the key.=]

Actually, I have, this guy went around, claiming he was the best, this was way back when(Gosh, I act like I'm old.), so I raised an Unown team and Hidden Powered him.xDDDD Too bad his levels were low.>.> Bitch didn't take me seriously.>.> And yeah, like I said, things like that don't matter, all's that matters is strategy, the pen is mightier than sword!>=]

They chould never be that stupid:(

That was the best part about Falkner though, his illegal Pijon!=3

Those are preferences in aesthetics and what not. Those are subjective. Objectively, I'm talking about their battling performance.

Yeah, but to those who are good at training Pokemon it wouldn't matter, if you're truly a good trainer you can make a champion Unown team.>.> Even the weakest Pokemon can be used effectively, so I don't care about strengths and weaknesses.=]

Erm, on the contrary, Hoenn had the best starters and Johto had the worst starters. That's actually a fact. Johto starters were a result of the programmer's laziness. Want me to prove it to you?

Here are the facts sir, Kanto's starters were cool, and Johto's adorable.>.> There, screw Hoenn and it's Weed Lizard.>.>

I have black family and let me tell you, they say the WORST things about black people We are always the most judgmental againts our own race.

And yeah, Gen 3 starters where HORRIBLE, but were way better then Gen 4. I mean COME ON! A Monkey? When I saw the Gen 4 starters I couldn't take Chimchar seriously. All I good see was this ugly monkey throwing flaming poo at me

Yeah, instead of just Black People Food, they have an actual Black Person for trade and battle. And then there was Bulbasaur rip-off.>.> Pissed me off, the only new starter that doesn't piss me off is Pocchama! S/He's so adorable!=]

They were very yummy. I still play my FR. In fact I just got done breading a whole bunch of charmader, bulbasaur, and squirtle. I just love raising those little buggers X3 I am working on getting another Shiny Charmander at the moment.

Yey! Good starters! Ugh, what were Gen. III's starters? Black People food, Weed Lizard and Mudkipz.>.>

(And yes I can be racist like that as a proud monkey myself[Not really, all the others are monkeys though, at least the ghetto one's] and yes, I do hope I offended people.>=])

And then, Poop Jr. runs in the middle of the fight and Red's Lizardon chomps her head off!=D

Red and Green vs Gold and Silver... how's that?

But still, I don't usually like double battles, but there has to be one... at LEAST just THIS one...

Red wouldn't like Double Battles though, because he was introduced in a Generation without the damn things.>.> Maybe a progressive battle, first Silver and then Green, and finally, Red!=]

Everyone had there preferences :3 Thats what makes the game fun for me. A little something for everyone. Me, I hate contests I kinda liked them in Gen 3 but in Gen 4 they are just so stupid. COME ON! Dancing?

And woo! A fellow Nicknamer! *highfives*

Oh god! I hate Contests, well, basically, I hate everything about Generation's III and IV.>.> Except the remakes.=3 Those were yummy.=]

Poop...Jr.?

Yes, because Leaf was the original Poop, and Poop Jr. is her spawn! Destroy the highly un-fashionable Pokemon characters!>=]
