OH SHITS TWO DAYS
2
Hi, it's Professor Oak again, and I'm here to talk about...
...I mean
Diamond and Pearl, the 4th Generation in the long-standing Pokemon series!
Many things have changed since the days of Kanto.
First, there is an all new world:
with all new gym leaders, trainers, and of course, Pokemon.
In fact, there's 493 of them now! Take a look here: http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/
And what's more, almost all of them are obtainable between the two versions. The only unobtainables are:
RBY Starters
GSC Starters
RSE Starters
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
Entei, Raikou, Suicune
The Regis
Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys
Other than that, you are set with one version!
"But wait! What about version exclusives?"
Ah, young trainer, we now have...
Wi-Fi Trading!
And not only that, we also have Wi-Fi battling. Not only can you obtain almost every Pokemon, but you can spar with anyone, anytime as well!
For those who lack wi-fi, here are the exclusives: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/exclusives.shtml
Now there's a reason for you keeping your GBA versions: unlocking Pokemon! After obtaining the Sinnoh Dex (which consists of only SEEING every Pokemon on this list: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/shinoudex.shtml), you pop in a GBA game and a handful of Pokemon become available for catching! The list of unlockables are here: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/gbapokemon.shtml
Speaking of GBA versions, there is now a way to transfer your old Pokemon into Diamond and Pearl! Be warned though: once they go to DP, they won't return. Find out more information here: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/3rdgentrade.shtml
The Night/Day system returns as well (which can be manipulated with the DS's clock, so no more staying up at night just to catch that Hoothoot).
No more are the days of types being relegated to Special or Physical status. Now when Pikachu uses Volt Tackle, it won't be a Special attack, but a Physical one.
List of attacks and their new status: http://serebii.net/attackdex-dp/
Not only that, but new abilities have also been added: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/abilities.shtml
Of course, for the advanced trainer, there are new items to use when EV training, as well as helpful tools for breeding. Don't know what EVs are? This should get you going: http://serebii.net/pokedex-rs/ev.shtml
There is much more to learn about Diamond and Pearl! Of course, if you have any more questions, my assistants would be happy to help.
Hope to see you soon!
Again, thanks so much, Speakeasy!

My local Fred Meyer had it out for sale today but pulled it off the shelves. I got there too late. The lady there said they'd have it out for sale on the 20th(tomorrow) and that they were still going to be selling it today to people who bought the preorder.
Hopefully they do put it back out tomorrow.

I'm scared of the SE++ team
There'll be time for another tournament soon enough, I suppose.
Yeah, probably be a bit for me to get it, since I have to order online. Oh wellz. :P

Two more days! We don’t have much longer to wait!

I forgot just how much time I had spent in the Battle Tower despite not having the best record (only got up to 70 wins) and how many of the prizes I had in storage. I had three Choice Bands and other stuff besides. I was digging for pokemon to trade over just to transfer items after I ran out of version exclusives and stuff with special requirements to catch in D/P. But I still have some stuff I'm sure people will be interested in. I have a good number of bagons ready to go to others eventually, some skarmories with drill peck bred onto them, koffings with will o' wisp bred on, etc. Then there's the stuff I can't remember why I caught, like a crapload of heracrosses . . .
Edit: Oh, and thanks for getting the new thread up and running again and locking the old one to Classtoise and Neo Rasa respectively.

Why how old are you? And if you go into a gamestop, you would probably still be the coolest person there :P.
I'm so tempted to sig this out of context, especially since Houk did a better job of sigging ShimSham's words in the last thread.
What Fallout threads do for quotes about spousal abuse, pokemon does for children.

I tried this when buying the last Harry Potter book - took my niece with me. She completely blew the whole scam when she asked, in front of the cashier and bystanders, "Are you going to buy me something now, too?"
Yea, I think I could have worded that better.
I also just threw up a little in my mouth.

just waltz in there and make it as manly as possible, maybe shove some kids out of your way and pound your fists on the counter shouting "give my fucking pokeman" or some such.
Great, now we need a new thread. Tyler already won this one.

We'll call that plan B.
Plan A at the moment is to blame it on the girlfriend.
Have to get it without her there though, since if she was tagging along I think she'd make an effort to try and get on the PA system just to let people know what I was buying.

Are you sure you guys didn't hit the liquor store and grab some 40's and then went behind the store and bought some weed from the hobo guy? Cuz' that sounds a little crazy...
Probably to freak some stranger out. Looks like it worked.
Seriously, why not use the most famous Pokemon game quote?
"I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear."
So true. So true.

I know you're joking, but it's my friend who goes to school in a different state who has never played a Pokemon game before. She kept the note and earlier today online said "I found a really creepy note on the bus" and when she told me what it said I told her it was from Pokemon. She thought it was funny but she probably thinks I'm a loser now.
Tell her that all of the gangstas roll with pokemon. Slim Thug says gamecube nintendo on mike jones song. :P
Pretty soon we are going to see graffiti that says, So I herd you leik mudkips?
Damp - prevents pokemon from using moves like explode or self-destruct.
Cloud Nine - Prevents weather effects from working.
I'm thinking Cloud Nine because of the uncommon use of weather moves on certain pokemon teams. I also like the idea of a lowly Golduck being able to defy the ability of a godly pokemon like Groudon.
