Pssh. "Mommy, mommy the president came after us with a mech! He's being mean." Back in my day we tough, and we didn't go running every time someone pulls out a giant mechanical robot, no. Buncha wusses.

Does anyone else feel that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl may harken back to the days of Gold and Silver, which were arguably the best games in the series?

I am exicted about a Pokemon game and it frightens me.

*raises hand*

Eeehhh, no prob being excited about it. Perfectly normal phenomeneon, reliving childhood interests. Read somewhere that as a result of oversaturation with stimuli, people's brains tend to revert to a more childlike form to cope, leading to such common things today as moving back in with parents, and in this case, remaining or returning interest to childhood hobbies and interests.

If I am able to travel to more than one region and have a storyline that spans across all the regions I can visit then it shall truly be the greatest. Pokemon game.

In other words, I want to be able to visit Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Oore along with whatever place you're in. And I want more storyline than "get some extra gym badges". Fire Red and Leaf Green have shown us that it can be done.

I liked RSE, but something felt...I dunno...missing. Kinda like they had taken a step backward.

I hated RSE, it was a huge step backwards, they cut out half the pokemon, almost all of the powerful ones, introduced an almost worthless sidequest, and went from 2 areas to 1.

They cut out the pokemon I hated, while adding new ones (spoink!). I mean, come on. You can't expect every pokemon to live on every continent. What they did was make it a little more realistic.

They did the opposite for me, they cut out everything I liked and added nothing I did like.

I haven't played a Pokemon since Gold, because Pokemon is for little kids and being 16 makes me too cool for it.

Now to go play Yugioh, and watch Power Rangers.

Things I liked:

- Gyms are the sideplot, while the main plot involves Teams Aqua and Magma.
- Less pokemon I hated, more pokemon I liked(Spoink! Slugma! Torchic/Blaziken!). Pikachu was limited to the Safari Zone.
- Current champion is out doing stuff, not relaxing at E4 HQ.
- Your very own protege, Wally. Though, more fights with him would have been nice.

Things I didn't like:
- Pokemon Contests. It's something besides fighting to do, but it was rather limited and boring.
- No real rival. May and Wally combined don't count, you hear me, Nintendo?
- Bicycling. It stunk in this game.

Overall, I found the game to be enjoyable.

I'm with MechaV in that something felt like it was missing, but I did like that the plot was more involving than just going around to different gyms. In Emerald they went even further with it, and I hope that will continue.

Absol and Kecleon were awesome, stats be damned!

Slugma and Spoink were just friggin' adorable, too. Again, stats be damned.

And I named my Torchic-Blaziken Fawkes, thereby showing the depths of my geekiness.

I just named it Kung-Fowl, showing my poor punnage skils.

I never named any of mine. I hated nicknames, especially the ones you got for in-game trades that you couldn't change.

Blech.

NIcknames made them "happier", strengthening the move "Return", and making them slightly better.
