Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

[Starwars4J]

Does anyone know when these games will come out in English? I want to get the Pearl version for it's superior pokemon and the water dragon legendary.

Trading wifi will be awesome. If anyone has a leaf green version make sure you breed a few of the exclusive pokemon in it to trade to me later on. I will be sure to do the same.

"I wanna be the very best, like no one ever . . ."

Hell, I happen to have a spare deoxys you could get if you wanted :-P There are some advantages to living in New York ya know, like all the giveaways ;-)

[SuvieD]

Hey guys those sound great. Just let me know what you are looking for, if anything, from firered. I don't have many exclusives or such but I have time to breed in some of my classes so if you want a sweet pokemon let me know I can get one for you. I am working on a power house Flareon right now but he isn't for trade.

[Starwars4J]

heh, I'd give you just about any pokemon you wanted for a max-IV pokemon :-P Or a shiny Staryu ;-) I only have two or three shinies, but otherwise I have all 386 (er, well no Lugia... :-/ but that's close enough ;-) )

[Kikuichimonji]

I have all but Mew. Gamesharked for the legendaries though. Stupid give-aways that never reach Europe.

I also have a shiny Zubat for trade (I got 2 of those...and a shiny Golbat :-| . Luckily I also have a shiny Sharpedo, Claydol and Latias :-D

[Starwars4J]

As far as shinies, I have TWO zigzagoon :'-( a geodude, and...I think another

They all suck *sad*

[Kikuichimonji]

So, did any of you Americans get a copy? I sold my Japanese one a while ago, and my american Diamond is on the way.

Just breathing some life back into this topic ;-)

[Starwars4J]

Of course ;-) I was quite a vet back in the day, and played a rather significant part in the downfall of Pokemonforever.com and the rise of serebii.net...though it was unintentional, as I really dislike serebii (he's a completely jerk)

If you ever feel like talking about EV training or IVs give me a yell :-D

[Scouty]

I got it. Anybody wanna take my Lvl. 22, 12, 11, 4, 4 Pokemon X-D . I'll have to get a friend code soon :) .

[Kikuichimonji]

There's a pinned topic for friend codes, you should post your codes there. SW4J, maybe you could edit the first post from time to time, I don't think Lost Viking is very active as of late.

Edited in. And if anyone else adds theirs, I'll try to keep on top of it and keep editing the first post.

[ApophisV]

Multiplayer is wireless or Wi-Fi, so you can trade or battle online. There are also base CTFs for DS to DS, and other new features. Things like that ^^.

Okay, for that Technobabble you earn the title "Chief engineer Geordie LaForge".... :-D

The serebii forums? Oh god, please tell me not there. Serebii (Joe) is a complete megablocks and steals everything he puts up, often claiming "You saw it first here!"

The whole community is just...eh. You can find more competent communities for that stuff here. If you ever need help on something, just ask me.

I got my Diamond today :-D. Very cool, especially since I wasn't expecting it to arrive untill the end of next week. Now if you'd excuse me, I'm off to train.

Just wondering, what's everybody's in-game party?

On my Japanese version, I had: (crap, gotta find the English names :-P)

Torterra

Staraptor

Luxray

Floatzel

Lucario

Bidoof (HM slave)

The only ones I was satisfied with were Torterra, Luxray and Lucario. Can anyone recommend me a good fire and water type, if possible one that's catchable early on?

Fire types are my specialty X-D I love them. Sadly there aren't many new fire types :-/ Catching a ponyta is probably your best bet...also, try to get a gible early on under cycling road, I hear they're pretty helpful (and dragon rage early on is nice...)

My in game party is:

Infernape

Dictyo the Gastrodon

Neo the Alakazam

Sparks the Luxray

LUEcario the Lucario(you should get the pun, kiku :-P)

and machop (HM slave)

For an actual team I don't think I'd use any of these, though I did design a couple Alakazam end-game movesets, tell me what you think!:

Alakazam @ Lum Berry*/Colber Berry

Synchronize

252 Spd/ 252 SpA / 6 Def

Nature: +def/-atk

-Barrier/Reflect*

-Psychic

-Thunder wave/Recover*

-Double Team/Focus Blast*

Alakazam @ Choice Specs

Synchronize

Nature: +/-atk

252 SpA / 252 Spd / 6 HP

-Recover

-Psychic

-Thunder wave

-Reflect

I prefer the first set, as it gives more versatility. Also, anything with a * is the preferred, and anything else is just for extraneous circumstances :-P

I noticed the lack of fire types while playing my Japanese version, so I just picked the fire starter this time around. So I need a good grass type now ;-)

I usually make a team with a fire, grass, water, electric, rock/ground/steel (a good tank, basically) and psychic (special sweeper) type. So, I'm still looking for a grass (Leafeon?), water and rock/ground/steel types. Are the fossils any good?

Didn't know you could get Gible under Cycling Road, I'll look into that. It's bound to be useful since it's the Dragonite/Tyranitar/Salamence line of this generation.

Infernape

Dictyo the Gastrodon

Neo the Alakazam

Sparks the Luxray

LUEcario the Lucario(you should get the pun, kiku :-P) Gamefaqs, right? ;-)

and machop (HM slave)

Why 2 psychic types? Lucario is a good special sweeper which is also good against dark types, why keep the Alakazam (besides Lucario's 4x weakness to flying)?

Special sweeper, I suppose? I'd go for Barrier myself; his defence base stat is lower the his special defence base stat. Psychic is a must. Recover is nice, but you probably won't have much time for that on a special sweeper. Thunder wave is nice against fast Pok

It's in the cave. Found only on the second floor during the day.

2 psychic types? You mean fighting? Well Lucario was just too good to pass up, and besides, an in-game team doesn't need to be good :-P

Special sweeper, I suppose? I'd go for Barrier myself; his defence base stat is lower the his special defence base stat.

Reflect is meant to help in a pinch. He generally won't have time to set up a full barrier (3 turns)

Thunder wave is nice against fast Pok

[Professor Flitwick]

I own a misturveres, grass 2nd evo, gyrados, quagsire, machop, bibarel, i'm at the 4th gym trying to get to him. In the box i own a azurill, frog thing and psyduck. could anyone give reconmentations on the fourth gym and how to catch a Apiom.

[Kikuichimonji]

The punches are physical as well now? Man, I have to get used to this new battle system.

And yeah, I made a little error there thinking Lucario was Fighting/Psychic for some reason. Mind you I've only played a version in an understandable language for 2 hours ;-)

[Kikuichimonji]

*Kicks topic*

Ok, I finished the Pokemon league yesterday. My current team is:

Infernape

Floatzel

Luxray

Staraptor

Garchomp

Lucario

I want to ditch Floatzel and Lucario/Staraptor/Garchomp for the other two starters. Does anyone have a (legit) Pinlup or Turtwig for trade? I'm offering a Chimchar. If you want something else, let me know. Friend code can be found in the corresponding topic.

Give me some time and I can breed a pimplup for you. As for water, I never tried floatzel, I LOVE my gastrodon though, it's a freaking tank

[Kikuichimonji]

Ok, sounds good. I'll look for a Turtwig online then.

[Starwars4J]

If you do get a turtwig, mind breeding me one?

[optimus-convoy]

I could probably give out Turtwig eventually.

Though I'm only near the fifth gym, and have no breeding partner for my Grotle.

BTW, are there any Ditto or like breeding Pokemon in Sinnoh, or do I have to wait to migrate from Leaf Green?

Ditto is available after getting the National Dex.

SW4J, I've listed my Chimchar online, I'll breed you a Turtwig when I get one. I'll trade it for a Pinlup then (since you already have a Chimchar in your dex). I'll give you a shout on msn when I have one for you.
