    Oh yeah, I'm ready to battle now, Aggril.
    thats wow... its really worth that much?

    Hell no! But some people are fanatics and Jirachi and Celebi are pretty much unobtainable without those discs or hacking.
    Or they were, but now HGSS is here. Although, I don't know if either Pokemon has been made available to everyone yet.

    I have the Jirachi Pre-order disc. Maybe I should sell it?

    If any of you have routers, you should reset it. That's how I fix my connection when I get that error.

    Well, after trying the reset idea, I can get onto the GTS for a bit (though I lost connection somehow), but it doesn't seem to be very stable connection wise. I'm not sure if that's the fault of my router, though. My computer seems to be connected just fine.

    That's weird. In my case I always get a good connection just by resetting or turning the router off and on again.

    It's probably been answered in here and sorry for asking again if that's the case, but is there any way to get these Event things -after- the day of? Or is it pretty much you snooze (or didn't have wireless when the goddamn things were going around and couldn't get to a hotspot area because hell, you have things to do) you lose?

    The event item for Shaymin is available until November. You have plenty of time to get it. The item's supposed to only be for Platinum. Has anyone with Diamond or Pearl actually tried to go onto wifi for it, though?

    Oh. Well, I didn't follow the event things back when they were D/P, so I didn't read too much into them and the lengths of time. My bad on here, but I'd still have to get Platinum before November. Which...well, I'd say is doable.

    And I just tried Mystery Gift on my Diamond and got nothing. (You're supposed to try Nintendo WFC, right?)

    Just rented Platinum for something (sorta) new to put in my Lite and to tide me over until Soul Silver. While the game gets off to a MUCH faster start than Diamond and Pearl, I still have to ask why the game is so freaking slow compared with the lightning-quick awesome that was Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. The game's framerate on the "overworld" also seems to positively chug. I know the dev team has never set their technical goals any higher than "adequate", but has their lack of ambition finally bit us all on the ass or what?

    Are you talking about the "jaggies" or the lagging polygons or what? I would chalk that up to it being 3D. I don't find it any slower than Yellow, the only other Pokemon game I've played. Heck it's a bit faster since you can run.

    Lower framerate, slowdown in some areas, slower menus, slower saving, yeah, this gen is pretty slow all in all. Battle speed is about the same for the most part though.

    DPP is absolutely slower than the older Pokemon games. It's the worst thing about the DS titles. Maybe not so much as far as the overworld is concerned, but definitely in the interface and battles, even with animations disabled.

    The original games had much smaller maps anyway, so not being able to run didn't always matter. The bike was still around, too.

    I guess I just don't notice it that much. But it makes sense now that I think about it, since I've put 63 hours into Platinum, and that's already more hours than I put into Yellow (including at least 10 hrs of post E4 stuff in Yellow).

    My third gen breeding game is closing in on one thousand hours.

    A decent amount of that comes from the fact that most gba games don't have suspend modes...

    Diamond is well over 300 hours though.
