Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:48 pm

...Proving that anyone can be suckered into spending more money on what they already own... I'm getting Pokemon Diamond when it comes out!

Anyone else getting it?

Diamond FTW!

Yes, I'll be getting it.

Hehehehe, I'll be getting Pearl. But only cause my bro has dibbs on Diamond.

I might be getting Pearl, just because I think not many will get them as much as diamond... I mean pearl doesn't sound as neat and... well, it's just not shiny.

I'm sure I'll be getting the wifi adapter if it's any good, my house isn't set up well for wireless connections anyway if I wanted to get a router.

As they still haven't announced a release date for Australia (if they have, I haven't heard anything of it), I'll either buy it off ebay or get my godparents to buy me it when they go to the US next month. But then I'll have to wait... I hate waiting.

I'll take whichever version I can get, but would prefer Pearl, because it's so much cooler than Diamond. So what, diamonds are better and more expensive and just abut everything better than pearls. Pearls are... nice.

Hmmm, a friend of mine said something about June 7th here? But yeah, I'm not desperate for it, so I don't mind waiting until it comes out here.

Pearl for me. Diamond for my bro.

It's been a while since I played a Pokemon game. I had a bit of a fall out after the Silver/Gold/Crystal versions. And I don't own a game boy Advance/SP. But I do own a DS and I did enjoy playing Pokemon back in the day.

I'm getting Diamond - and, of course, after years of being out, it has spiraled me back downwards into the pit of Pokemon. I've gotten out the cards, the old games...

I'm quited excited for the new games, though. I stopped playing after Crystal, mostly because I had gone back to my totally completed Blue, got the Missing No. glitch, and ruined my game... Depressed myself so bad I stopped playing...

There are rumours of May 7th, June 1st, June 7th, even March 30th. (rather silly) But on the Nintendo website, Wikipedia and everywhere I've looked other than forums/comments, it says TBA/TBC. A date should be announced once the game is released in the US. And it shouldn't take too long as it doesn't need to be translated (much).

I am getting Diamond, because my favorite color is blue and I always get the blue version(Sapphire, etc.) Its gonna be the best yet, wireless trades! I don't watch the show or collect the cards but I love the game. Ive already reserved my copy, and its coming out on April 22nd..

Funny, I considered Diamond to be the Red-equivalent version, like Ruby, Fire, and Gold. Those usually sell way better here for some reason. The blue ones (Pearl, LeafGreen, Silver, Sapphire) are usually available long after the others are sold out.

I already have my Diamond on reserve at EB Games. I'm so excited! This week has been awesome so far, and it will be through Sunday.

I think I can get both, if I play my cards right...

Yeah, that's how I thought it was, because you have red & blue, gold & silver, ruby and sapphire, FR & LG, now diamond & pearl. All red-ish colors at front.
