Pokemon

For those who are interested, there is news on how you can get a legit Deoxys. I assume this is nation wide since its via e-mail from Gamestop:


If you have a Nintendo DS™ and Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl, bring them to your local GameStop the weekends of June 20th -June 22nd or June 27th - June 29th to receive the rare Pokémon Deoxys. While you're there, pick up a copy of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time or Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. You could order those online now, but Deoxys is only available in stores for these two weekends!

In Pokemon Ranger 2, there will be 6 new missions at the end (like there was 3 in the first one), with 3 of the new missions being "special missions." The Special missions will have Pokemon that you get to keep and trade to your Diamond/Pear (I guess also in Platinum when its out in 09 for everyone else 'sides Japan).

The Pokemon are:

  • Manaphy (again, and still egg)
  • Riolu
  • Darkrai


Now people can get Darkrai without an event! I know I am!

There's a catch, though. When they are ready for the U.S. (game will be later this year), you will have a certain amount of time to get the missions done and get the Pokemon. Luckily, the window of opportunity is a few months.

More news on Platinum:


The new issue of CoroCoro has been revealed and posted on various japanese imageboards. These issues contain many various bits of data, confirming what we expected and providing new tidbits as we go:

* Pokémon Platinum is set for a September 13th 2008 release in Japan.

* You have to face Team Galactic once more, but it seems their plans and HQ have been stepped up a fair bit.

* The Battle Frontier returns and takes place in the Fight Area in Sinnoh. There are different areas in the Battle Frontier, their battle quirks are not yet known. However, it does still contain the Battle Tower.

* The WiFi area has been enhanced with various areas which support up to 20 people at any one time.

* The Poffin making has taken a step up and has a new feature that involves a Swalot machine. You essentially throw berries into its mouth. This can be done over WiFi in the new WiFi area.

* The Battle Recorder, an item seen on the Shaymin pictures last week, allows you to record battles that you hold and share them with your friends. This is done at the new & improved GTS in Jubilife City, which has a bigger global terminal.

* There is also confirmation of the Shaymin form changes and a note about the Giratina ones. It appears that like in the movie, Giratina's Origin Forme can only be used in the Torn World, and its in its Another Forme elsewhere. It is unknown if there will be an item to use to keep it in its Origin Forme, but the main method will be revealed next month.

* Shaymin Sky Forme's ability is Serene Grace. It appears to be more focused in Speed and Special Attack and knows the move Air Slash.

* Giratina's Origin Forme's ability is Levitate.

* The pictures also indicate and confirm new sprites for each Pokémon including Bidoof, Giratina's Another Forme & Shaymin's Land Forme.

* Confirmation of the new characters shown last month, one is a member of Team Galactic, and the other is part of an international police force and is hunting Team Galactic.

You can record battles again! SWEET! :rockon:
 
New information courtesy of Serebii.net:


*Note: 'CoroCoro' is a Japanese magazine.

  • The start of the game runs differently with quicker confrontations with the Rival & Professor Rowan in Route 201 and Lake Verity
  • I forgot to note this earlier with the last scans on Thursday, but the police officer is codenamed "Handsome". CoroCoro questions whether he's actually working for Team Galactic or actually hunting them down
  • The Battle Tower makes the return, pretty much identical to it's running in Diamond & Pearl; Sets of 7, try to get a streak
  • The Battle Factory returns in Sinnoh, working in the same manner as Emerald. Select three Pokémon at the start of battle, all rentals
  • Over the GTS's new Global Terminal, it appears you can send some sort of mail to various people, possibly to your friends and maybe even to random people.
  • There are several games to be found in the new WiFi room for you to play with your friends. These include Merry Mime Jr. where you control Mime Jr. on a ball the longest, Rapid Wobbuffet and the aforementioned Swalot game
  • Confirmation of the sihlouettes was also included. What they are will be more than likely revealed next month.**

They need to make a 3d pokemon game using the graphics in that even the part where they hide in grass. It would be awesome

Someone in Japan made ROM Hack that turns the Pokemon into prepubescent girls.

Yeah, they're weird like that.

You want the game translated don't you. I know I do :lol:
 
Some more news on Platinum:


  • The Underground is confirmed to be Wireless only and not WiFi

  • Over Local Wireless, there is a new feature where you and your friends put in your eggs and it seems to toss them up. From this, it would appear that you will each get a random egg from this. Handy as you'll never know if you'll get a decent Pokémon that evolves into a further decent Pokémon and has various egg moves, or if you'll get a Magikarp.

  • In the Battle Frontier, there's a stall that sells you scratchcards for your Battle Points. With these scratch cards, you have the ability of getting many items including berries. However, it's random so you could end up with very little.

Possible Platinum Enhancement:

A new advertisement advertising another bit of Pokémon Merchandise has given the implication that the Sinnoh Dex has been enhanced. According to it, there are 59 further Pokémon in Sinnoh to make the final amount 210. This does not mean for sure however that this is also true in Platinum, but it does seem likely due to many instances within the game such as Giratina being the mascot, Shaymin's Glacidia Flower being available early in the game and so forth. Chances are that these 59 Pokémon comprise of the new Pokémon that were not in the Sinnoh Dex in Diamond & Pearl and any pre-evolutions that they may have.
 
Platinum was released on September 13 in Japan, although release dates for other regions are unannounced. Platinum sold 1 million copies in its first two days on the Japanese market.


Diamond & Pearl took about a week or so. This in two days!! Why can't we have it already?! :(
 
Holy damn.

The guy from Serebii.net has a created a Pokearth Map. This map shows the whole lands connected from Red/Blue to Platinum, including the spin-offs of Colosseum games and the Ranger games. The guy has been working on this since about August or so.


Here's the map:

Say what you will about the anime, but no one will contest that this theme is awesome.
