What a perfect excuse to post even more random Pokemon news!
Surprise! It's the ugly grey cat and some sort of rabbit thing! And the rabbit has a new Ability called Multiply. No, serisouly, check the link.

Online, real-time voice chat using the microphone in Pokemon confirmed. It's the top-most video. I think Metroid Prime Hunters had it too, but this makes it the second game to use it, right? How has it worked for MP:Hunters? was it s source of annoyance or convienence?
Only five days to go.

Is... is that... Kenshin? Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
Why don't we get games like this over here? I mean, with all the anime they dump on TV and release on DVD nowadays, why not just bring the game over? Most of those shows are localized and distrbuted anyways. It's just more money for them to make.

Shit, the Wii thread is falling apart. I'm hiding here until it collapses or mods start cleaning it out. I doubt either one will happen, but still...
For Pokemon fans: I'm going to a US Toys 'R Us store to get some Mews from that special promotion. I should have four of them when I'm done. Once Diamond/Pearl come out in North America, I'm not going to need all four of them, so I'll set up a sort of "who wants a legit Mew" giveaway. If you don't want to cheat or use funky glitches, this is your chance to get it air and square. And since there are version-only poks, as well as ones that have to be transferred from the GBA games, we should set up a trading list in the OCR DS Wifi thread. Or a seperate one. Whatever.
Also, I watched a video for Cooking Mama. I have to buy Cooking Mama now.
-
One week remaining, and there's a slew of new info for Diamond/Pearl. New attacks and their properites, and the basic plot for the beginning of the game have been posted.
-
Oooooh... thanks, Kloud! So it stacks up pretty well, considering the number of 35 points and higher games is so small out of the whole list.
-
Which puts it rather high on their list, considerng most "good" games get 33 and lower. I tried looking it up, but there's surprisingly little info on how the score system works (what's considered the cut-of points for ranks like "gold" or "perfect", and that's even if they have such a thing).
I would like to see the full list for this latest reviews, as well as the previous versions, just to compare how it did.
-
A new set of videos for Diamond/Pearl has been put out. Check the second one under September 2006, at about 2/3s, and you can see a new level with an elevator... and floors you can see down to. This time, you get to see what's going on below you. It's probably just one special area, but it's nice to see such a big change in the series' graphics and mechanics.

OK, so I was checking up on Serebii.net, and they have posted a new screenshot of the in-game map. You can point your mouse arrow to a city (the grey areas) and get the name.
Now, if you have it, open up Google Earth.
Go to Hokkaido, and rotate the map so that North is slightly to the right. Fine tune the zoom so that you can see the entire island by itself.
OK, now compare the shape of Hokkaido to Shinou. See any similarity? It's even more than that. Compare the locations of Trust Lake to Toya-Ko, and Kotobuki City to Sapporo. Repeat with any other in-game town to real-life cities.
Neat, huh? You can also do the same with Hoenn from RSE, Kanto and Johto to Kyūshū (just a mirrored image), the realworld Kanto and Chūbu (slightly distorted), respectively. And the Sevii Islands from the Red/Green GBA remakes correspond to Okinawa (slightly rearranged). They do this even with historical and geographical points of interest.
Sort of old news, but I just thought I would mention it to anyone that might be interested. Most people never noticed the connection before.
Also, Wikipedia has removed the Janurary 3rd, 2007 release date for North America. Finally. So we're back to haveing no date at all, but because we're all reading this, having no dates shouldn't be that big a surprise.

Might be old, but I saw it and I thought of you guys. Enjoy.

OH SNAP lol
Yeaaaah... posted that a month ago, in this very thread. Too late, loser.
/has plans to drive to nearest US Toys R US
//has four carts ready to go

You bastard. I've sent Nintendo's special police force your IP address and a copy of your post. They should be at your house in a few hours. Don't bother running, they have your scent by now. You'll just die tired.

I think I'll pick up this pokemon game.
I can't wait. It's going to rock.
When it comes out, I will be pestering everyone to get together so that we can trade version exclusives. Or better yet, who wants a certain pokemon? I have an Aerodactly with almost perfect stats, and can breed a bunch of eggs. Want one with high Attack and Speed IVs? Drop me a line, and I can give one to you. And it would be all legit. No cheats or glitches at all, just pure luck and careful breeding.
I highly doubt that the Janurary 3rd release date is true, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Is it just me, or does the DS have lots of games that simply cry out "buy me!"? I mean, compared to all the other games on all the other systems I own, the DS is starting to catch up rather quickly.

Loads of new Pokemon Diamond/Pearl info, including more pokes, more attacks, and there's even new footage.
Here's how you unlock the ability to transfer your GBA pokes over.
Here's info on the ten new pokemon, including basic descriptions (just scroll down a bit, you'll see them). You can find the original scans here. There's also detailson two new Balls you can use, one that heals the pokemon you just caught with it, and one that makes catching easier in caves or at night.
A new video is out (click on the second link underneath the video, the one that has "2!" at the end), and we see spinning air turbines and a giant train. And footage of snow. Lots of snow. Deep, deep snow. Lots of detail to the overworld in this game, much more than the GBA games had.
And on a related note, this was announced a short while ago. I guess that Pokemon remix project we're working on is pretty moot now, isn't it?
Kidding, kidding. I still want everyone involved to keep working on it.And while the date is highly unlikely, Wikipedia has listed the North American release date as Januray 3rd, 2007. This would be very unusual, since there hasn't been a single Pokemon game (core or spinoff) that has been translated and localized this fast, ever. Also, the cited source for the date links to an old article. As much as I would love to have the game come out so soon here, I doubt it. On the other hand, Nintendo has released games very quickly between the Japanese date and the NA date. Mario Sunshine, for instance, had only a months difference. I guess we'll find out later this year, one way or the other.

I'm thinking about Star Fox Command.
Stop.
Think about something else.
Ooh. That bad?
Go back about ten pages or so, and you should see this little arguement about about Starfox comes up, and how it's bad, it sucks, blah, blah, blah...
-
I'vr said it before, and I'll say it again. The DS has rekindled a glowing ember in my heart for games. The future looks entertaining. And pretty expensive; there's about fifteen titles coming up in the next year and a bit that look awfully tempting, and that's just for the DS. I'm not even going to talk about the Wii...

You'll just have to return it anyways. Why bother?
Oh, this thread is going to draw the attention of that psycho... remember that guy that accused oneof our members of trying to poison peoples minds about the DS? I can't remember who is was, but someone here posted a video of how one of the buttons wasn't working for some reason, and then this guy started railing against him as a fanoby trying to spread false rumors and shit... man, anyone have the old link to that stuff?
That was me
I made the thread in unmod about a guy who started spamming my youtube video and a thread on 1up.com
My D-pad wasn't working well with going diagonal, and I clearly put in the video that maybe I just had to get used to it, and then made an edit saying that it was bad and I just had to exchange it. Nobody took his side though. He tried claiming that everyone that was defending me in the thread was just an alt account that I made. Eventually the mods stepped in and said that it's a pain in the ass to sign up and join the boards, so they doubt I made alt accounts lol.
I figure if the next one has something wrong with it, I'll just send it in to Nintendo.
Add a little note with it saying "look, I really like this thing, but this is the fourth one I've had to get because of pixels, hinges, casing, etc... please, just open one up, test it for me, and then ship it."
At least Nintendo has a pretty damn good return policy, unlike a certain other manufacturer of a certian other portable...

Fuck. The next time you go get a replacement, just open it right there at the counter. Save yourself a little time and frustration.
Well, maybe not the frustration.

Man, Bigfoot. You just can't get a break, huh?

Final Fantasy 3
Children of Mana
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
I think it's definitely safe to say that it's a great time to be a DS owner.
Well, there goes my budget for games in 2007. Thanks a lot.

Pic of the new headset.
Plug it in, and let the "NOOBS! PWND!" begin...
Also, it was recently revealed that if you want to use your GBA Pokemon in Diamond/Pearl... well, let's just say that it might be easier to just use a cheat device and make them from scratch.
The way it works is that you "transfer" the pokemon to your DS game, and then, instead of it being there all ready for you to use... you have to catch it. Again. And there's no word on how easy it will be. But if it's anything like the previous Safari Zones, you'll need a lot of luck and even more patience. Also, there's no info on how it will effect said pokemon. Will it reset IVs and EVs? Tameness?
Oh, and you can only transfer 6 pokemon a day. That means that if you try to send all your GBA pokes over, it will take you 64 days, or 2 months to do so. Two months to transfer over what you have already found.
Ugh. Between having to send them over at a frustratingly low rate, and then catching them again... maybe I'll just make a new team. What a stupid move.

Confirmation accepted. Awesome. Now to just somehow make it to a US city with a Toys R Us... Should only be about a six hour drive. EDIT: make that a twelve hour drive. The nearest store I could find is in Veradale, Washington. And that assumes that they are even participating in the event in the first place... I guess that I am screwed, and will only ever have one by finding someone to trade with on DP, use a cheat device (not my style) or risk mailing my cart to someone in the US who will do it for me...
No, the DS won't work. I suspect that they will do it one of two ways;
1. Either by hooking up your GBA to a Gamecube, like a demo station, or one specificly setup to handle this event, and just download one onto your cartridge.
2. They will have GBAs with special carts in them that download Mew onto your carts.
Either way, you will needa GBA. The DS has no cable port to connect with either a GBA or Gamecube, and the DSs wireless is completely incompatible with the very limited Gamecube wireless (namely, the Wavebird controller, which wouldn't be used for something like this anyways). GBA only, I'm afraid.
Same.I'm excited for Pokemon Pearl and Diamond though. The cards stink, and the show is stupid, but the games rock. -
Is the October issue out yet? If so, could you please go to page 97, and tell me if there is an article about the Toys R Us Mew giveaway thing. I want some extra confirmation.
Thank you.

It's not a move, it's an Ability, something that all pokemon have. In battle they add certain effects. Own Tempo means that confusion-inducing moves (like Confuse Ray or Supersonic) won't work on the pokemon that has that ability.
