Anything that caught you by surprise with Diamond and Pearl?

[Habunake]

A character named Tyler, right nort of Jubilife (and next to a girl named Sarah...heh...that's the name of a girl I like).

And I have a Magikarp...-_-

 

[Zeta]

The character with my name had a Luxio. Which I ironically had in my own party and used to beat the snot out of him.

 

[Habunake]

Anyway...I noticed the 2nd Glacier Badge is now the Icicle Badge, cool.

And...I forgot that traded Pokemon need badges to listen to you...my Level 13 Croagunk I traded from Pearl is being an arse...>.>

 

[Chosen of Mana]

How freaking long it took me to get a Cherubi out of the Honey Trees. I already had six badges under my belt!

 

[Zeta]

I found out something today:

One of the main translators, Douglas Dinsdale, is a member of the Something Awful Forums, hence all the net lingo. There are also multiple references to the SA website and community scattered throughout the game.

That explains so much.

 

[Fig]

...wow.

 

[MangaBottle]

Well, knowing that Pokemon has a bit of off-beat humor, and knowing that's it's the real McCoy rather than a lame attempt to be 'cool' is making me look forward to this game even more (it's not out in Australia yet)

 

[TTEchidna]

Wow. I wonder, then, what kinds of references will get put into the third version.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Perhaps someday we'll get a trainer approaching you with the challenge of "Let me show you my pokemans!" or "So, I heard you like Mudkips".

 

[Zeta]

At least it explains the "My Pokemon is FIGHT!" trainer.

 

[Fig]

Perhaps someday we'll get a trainer approaching you with the challenge of "Let me show you my pokemans!" or "So, I heard you like Mudkips".

"Hot Skitty on Wailord action!" :-D

 

[Luna Tiger]

Um um um, oh snap, that's so cool!

8D So, leik, I was messing around with my badges earlier this week and when I tapped on them, they chimed musically and I though, hey, that's pretty neat. But when I tapped them, they would sometimes also make a squeegee noise. And so I rubbed at them and the squeegee got worse. It was grating, so I avoided that as much as possible.

And now that I bothered to get the third badge, I looked at it to play with the tones and realized my Coal badge was really dark and my Forest badge wasn't as blindingly bright as the Cobble badge. So.

Am I allowed to be surprised that the badges can get dirty and rubbing them with the stylus keeps them clean, D8 or was I supposed to know this somehow?

 

[Zeta]

It's an easter egg thing. ; D Check the "Did you Know" on Bulbapedia.

Here's something from Fantina: "Never give up, never surrender!"

I hope Byron goes "By Gabite's Hammer, I shall avenge you!"

 

[Aaren]

Didn't they say before it came out in english that you could input your height and weight in the pokédex? Cause i haven't found any way of doing that. I was looking forward to that feature..

 

[Zeta]

It's probably in an upgrade from Dawn's dad. I just got an upgrade from him to view Pokemon genders.

 

[anonymous920314]

When my pokemon will avoid an attack. Has that always been there? I think I remember something like that in Gen III, but I'm not entirely sure.

Maybe it's an ability?

 

[Le GoogelGuRu]

Is it just me or does your character walk a little different when not running? It seems that the game looks a little different than previous GBA ones.

 

[Habunake]

Cool!

There is ANOTHER trainer named Tyler, this one a Battle Girl on Steel Island with a Medicham...and, well, tbh...I'd love to be her more then a Junior Trainer with a Magikarp...

 

[Carrieattheprom]

Learning that Croagunk is not a water type, it's a frog for crying out loud!

I'm so glad we only have to see the pokemon and not actually catch them, it makes things a lot easier.

The mulch girl's line about pokemon uh.. you know.. was really funny.

 

[ShadyWolf]

Nothing new, but the more I think about it, the more I realize the internet lingo caught me a bit by surprise. I really wish they hadn't added it. I mean, it wasn't really amusing when I first saw it, then I found it quite mildly amusing, and now it's just gotten to be stupid. I suppose I'm in the minority on this one, though.
