Oh dear, I still need to finish Diamond. :p

Wow, that is defintitely more changes than yellow had on red/blue, I was right. Thanks alot! Is it me or do the graphics in that pic with the tropical trees look very good. They said the graphics were updated a good amount.  I'm definitely gonna buy this now. Thank you!

No problem Just check the Platinum section of the Serebii.net website. It has a ton of stuff on it. Plus the website is a great one as well for Pokemon news.

EDIT: One of the main things I want the game for is the 3 Move Tutors. You're able to teach moves like Heat Wave, Outrage, Aqua Tail, Earth Power, Seed Bomb, Gunk Shot etc. to Pokemon. Also the elemental punches. And it's totally hilarious that you can teach a Pidgey the move Heat Wave now, which is good for countering Skarmory. You can teach Arbok Seed Bomb so it can go against Ground, Rock and Water types now.

Haha, that's awesome.  I think those steel types pissed me off a lot when they were added.  Never fond of that type. I'll take Pidgeot any day, thank you.  They even added to the story and the Distortion World looks like a big step forward for Pokemon games in general.  But yeah, it's been fun watching the Pokemon devs tweak the movesets, accuracies and elements since the first game.  Pidgey with heat wave, good idea............*mischievous pokemon combination ideas brewing*

First pokemon game to *actually* use 3D? Yes sir I'm buying it, even have my pre-order figurine on my computer, it makes me look like a nerd ;_; but that's off set by the Afro Samurai figurine beside it ^_^

Anyway looks good, I always get two versions of Pokemon usually the cooler of the first two and then the third one with the extra stuff in it, the only pokemon games I never bought were the GBA titles because the pokemon on the GBA games looked awful.

I'll probably figure out a way to transfer my Diamond team to Plat and destroy people online :P

Not buying it until their revert back to the original set and change the game mechanics at least.

Borrow another DS and trade?

I'm quite excited for this game as well. I'll be spending my bussing time to/from school Pokemoning.

since my ds is broken I cant get it till I get a new one also it looks good

Um, go buy FireRed and LeafGreen. They are remakes of Red and Blue. Plus that's a pretty pathetic excuse for not wanting to try the new Pokemon games. They are a whole lot better than what we had in the past. You're just scared of change, admit it  

I'm getting it - despite owning and finish both Diamond & Pearl. I'm really not sure what compels me to play the same game three time, but Pokemon seems to manage it.
