THE BORE

Can't wait. I tried playing my PSP the past few nights and I just get so bored of it. Picked up my DS and started Portrait of Ruin... mmm... DS. Need to start picking up the games I've been missing.
Pokemon is on sale at Circuit City, btw. I'm getting Diamond. What about you? Let's trade Pokemon.
-
I've never played a Pokemon title... is there something wrong with me?
-
Why is everyone going nuts about this?
-
Because it's fun. And with the addition of WiFi, I can trade it with people across the interwebs, and even battle them. No need to find someone as lame as you who owns the same game and sit across from them with a cable.
-
it will be the first time i play since silver. im excited - but i cant afford it :-\
-
So is the PSP still worthless if you don't use it as a multimedia machine? I got it rid of it 3 months after launch because the games sucked. The games weren't bad by portable standards but they all seemed like PS2-lite games. The new MGS is the only PSP game that's interested me enough to want a PSP again.
-
Not really, but demi has a short attention span. There are a bunch of games for it and considering Pokemon is the first worthwhile DS release since Christmas time, it's not like that system was lighting the world on fire the past couple of months.
-
That, and a lot of games to play. I still haven't touched Zelda yet. Or bought it. I'm just in a DS mood now. Have you seen PSP lineup in coming months? None of the good stuff comes out till like Fall.

PW 2 says hi.
-
PW 2 has been out for a loooong time if you count the japanese release which had full english dialouge. I havent touched my ds since Portrait of Ruin myself.
-
I have a backlog of DS titles I want to get at, as posted in my "help me buy games" thread earlier.
-
DS is overrated.
-
I think you're overrated.
-
it will be the first time i play since silver. im excited - but i cant afford it :-\
Same here. :D
I'm not getting until the semester is over though. That would destroy my grades completely.
-
Can't wait. You're getting Diamond too?
Looks like we'll be the main people playing it here. If you make a Frostitution site for friend code sharing I'll make sure to post it on GAF
-
Nah, I'm done with that. Why make a site for GAF?
-
Nah, I'm done with that. Why make a site for GAF?
haha
-
So we can have lots of friends codes
-
I can just lurk and PM the ones I'd like to trade with.
-
You're banned...you can't PM anyone... ???
-
Oh, uh, I forgot. Forget what I said.
-
:lol
Uh ohhhh
-
i'll play it for four hours, realize how ugly and shallow it is, and then never touch it again
then i'll go back to dynasty warriors
-

no pokemon photoshoots with the daughter this time?

Trade me your pokemon when you are done.
-
:lol
-
I haven't played since Pokemon RED. I kind of want to start up with this new one but I feel I have been out of the poke-loop for too long.
-
Trade pokemon with me.
-
I'm getting this game. I'm pumped.
We should have an official Friends Code thread for just Pokemon. I want to trade with all of you fuckers.
-
who the fuck actually trades pokemons
-
14 year olds
-
who the fuck actually trades pokemons
I just want to trade pokemon with you. It's harmless. Stop being a square.
-
I'm going to get pearl in a couple weeks.

-
Sounds like a good score.
-
My pokemans let me show you thems
-
Hmmm... I'm probably getting this... damn it.
-
Me too :( Im finding RPGs for DS quite irresistable at the moment. Im going to need something to play once I finish FFIII
-
Yeah, my last DS game was Portrait of Ruin, which isn't exactly my favorite Castlevania... then I got a Wii and a PS3, and obviously most of my money as went toward all that bullshit and hoopla, but I think this'll be a welcome return to my DS.
-
Man I loved Portrait of Ruin, I would say its one of the top Castlevanias. I think maybe I just had Metroidvania fever when I was playing it
-
It was pretty good, I just had a lot of issues with it, like the level design and the repetitive rehashing of the stages in the second half of the game. I just thought it was very poor, uninspired game design. But then again it's fun to play, there's a lot to do, the challenge rocks and the music is awesome. Hey, even mediocre Castlevania games are still quite good.
-
Your not talking about pokemans so shut it and play pokemans.
-
I am goddamn it I just got the game a few minutes ago.
-
played a bit of pokemon on the GBA -- but nothing more than a few hours. do people usually buy both editions? nintendo is fucking rich if so.
-
Looking at the reserve list, quite a few people bought both copies. There were incentives for people who did.
-
Well, I've rid myself of my single powerful Pokemon obsession. I've caught 5 Pokemon so far. Pretty neat. I'm about to go to the second city to get the second gym badge at the moment. I finally got the Pal Pad and put my friend code up on frostitution.

Pokeblowjobs baby
-
So what are the starter pokemon to choose from this go around? Also what are the cool new pokemon they have added since pokemon red? 8)
-
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/tuesdaypizza/new_dp_starters.jpg)
PipLup - the cute water penguin
ChimChar - the cute fire monkey
Turtwig - the cute grass turtle
-
They don't stay cute for long, though.
-
oh man, all three of those starters are awesome, I don't know how I'll choose.
-
Get a turtwig so we can exchange and i can add it to my sexy pokedex.
-
I'm totally keeping my starter when I get one. :heart
I'm leaning towards the Turtwig or Chimchar because I like their final forms more than the penguin's. The penguin is cool looking as a starter but has an ugly final form.
-
it has voice chat too. we can seduce one another.
-
OMG
what starter are you picking?
-
I have a PrinPup, the evolution if the PipLup. I just got the first badge. I loaned Robby my PipLup so he could beat it.
-
Hey Demi whats your friends code? I'll send you something if you like
Mine's
2492 0604 4433
-
Ok, how far are you? I have Diamond. I only just beat the first gym, so I have slim pickings. I put my Onix I randomly grabbed on GTS for a PipLup just for kicks - since you can only look for stuff you've seen.
2105 5143 1121
-
I've gotten the second badge and I'm fiddling around catching a bunch of Pokemon. I also have Diamond.
5412 6390 3618
I'm adding demi and Liquid now.
Alrighty.
-
What is your code, FatalT, I will add you too.
-
Got the game earlier today and played for almost two hours. Basically it's the same thing again, but like Drinky said it's the nature of the beast: the games start off slow and get more interesting later on. So far I haven't even caught any Pokemon. I always caught a Pidgy early in the older games because he gets badass later (and can use fly) but the flying bird Pokemon in this game looks unworthy of my pokeballs.
-
I have:
PrinPlup (MEEBLE)
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/394-f.png)
Bidoof
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/399-f.png)
Starly
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/396-m.png)
Psyduck (LUNAR AURA)
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/054-f.png)
Shinx
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/403-f.png)
Ponyta -- FatalT traded me this just a few minutes ago
(http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/pokemon/077-f.png)
-
I'm gonna get a Shinx. Looks badass.
Is it true that I could get a real badass Pokemon for a sucky one like Starly if I use the trading function?
-
If you have someone's FC on GAF you can get uberstrong pokemon or stuff like Charmanders easily since the people who imported already beat the game and have all the good stuff and have eggs to spare. You need certain gym badges before they obey if the level is too high. If you use Nintendo's WiFi you can only look for pokemon you've seen in the game. Again, you need at least the first badge in order to do WiFi Connection.
I put an Onix I caught in a cave on there for shits, and asked for a Piplup. I logged back on later tonight, and sure enough a japanese Piplup landed in my lap. I think the Japanese are just being really nice and helping people out.
-
do Jigglypuff appear in this game? that was one of my favorite pokemon. :heart
Man, I wanna recreate my old team from Pokemon Red.
-
All right I've added Demi and FatalT. I'm fairly far in the game so if you guys want I could sent you something semi-rare for where you are in the game. I managed to get my copy a few days early so right now I'm ~24 hours in playing through Pearl.
Yeti, you can indeed get Jigglypuff. They are in the Pokemon Mansion which is just after the 3rd gym. If you like I could trade you one so you can get a head start training it.
-

get the remakes of R/B for gba
-
I bought it and played 30 minutes, but it was so fukin deja vu I havent touched it since.

I can't trade with demi using R/B though

Well...
I have two copies of the game... one is legit and the other is a on my flash cart. So I could give you one from my legit cart that I have caught or I could generate you one on my flash cart(unless you don't want a illegitimate pokemon but they are no different than any other). So if you could have any pokemon what would it be?
-
Wow so you can make the uber legend ultimate Arcaeus?
-
I've never played a Pokemon title... is there something wrong with me?
Same here. But you're a bit older than me.
-
Wow so you can make the uber legend ultimate Arcaeus?
Yep, anything. Even a shiny one.
-
COOL. But I don't want to cheat.
-
I agree personaly the only thing I've inserted into my game is a level one Cyndaquil. That has always been one of my favorites and I wanted to enjoy the single player experience with that pokemon in my party.
-
I don't want to cheat either lol. Although I'd love to have a Charmander
-
Whats your friends code? I would be more than willing to send you one.
On a side note I just found a Heracross in one of those honey trees and its a huge pain to catch.
-
I'm up for any rarities that aren't cheated ones.
-
My friend code is:
1074-7229-3208
Ash
-
I just got the PEARL version, and wow, I forgot how fun this game can be. I haven't played since Pokemon Red, so I am going to be enjoying it a bunch. I just got the Pokewatch or whatever it is, so I'm not too far into it.
-
When you get your friend code, I can give you this Japanese PipLup (Lv. 1) I have. You don't need a badge to trade with friend codes.
-
How do you get your friend code?
Anyways, I got the Pearl version because it came with a nifty carrying case for free.
Here is my team so far:
a male Turtwig (TURKLETON)
a male Bidoof (BUCKAWUCKY)
a male Kricketoon (JIMINY)
and a female Shinx (GIZA)
-
You have to get your Pal Pad, which should be given to you in Jubilife, if not I think you go in the Pokemon Center and ask around in the upstairs or downstairs areas, one of them coughs it up.
-
There is some whore blocking the way to the downstairs area saying that they are doing things underground.
What is a Japanese PipLup?
-
It's a PipLup from Japan.
-
is missingno in this
no missingno = no sale
-
Yeah, cause you were gonna buy it in the first place.
No, the glitch monster isn't in this.
-
:(
he was the best pokemon ever
-
Liquid_Bike, can you get a Glameow? It's a Pearl exclusive I think.
-
I got my friend code finally!
1418 3205 6088
Matt
When you put in someone's friend code to the Pal Pad, do you need to know what name they used for their game or can you put anything? Because you didn't put what name you were using demi
-
Nah, you should be able to put whatever you want
I named my guy Thomas though if you REALLY want to know
Get on AIM and I'll give you this PipLup, just give me whatever
-
Spent a lot of time in Eternia Forest; it gives you twice as much xp as you normally would get due to the double battles.

Went through there last night, and loved every second of it.
I haven't been near a wireless router in a while, but I'm going to the library (where there is wireless) around oneish EST today and writing down your friend codes.
I REALLY REALLY want a Charmander (or Bulbasaur or Squirtle) so I might try GAF for one of those once I get my friend code, and I will write all of your friend codes down.
-
Man, where is Liquid_Bike!!! I want a pokemon! Hack it for me!
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/216.shtml
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED THIS!!!!!
-
I saw a picture of that pokemon the other day and hoping that it was in pokemon pearl. I was actually going to name it dem. :lol
But check this one out:
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/459.shtml
It's a Yeti! :o
-
Anyone want certain Pokemon, or are willing to trade certain Pokemon? I have a Ghastly and Ponyta I'm willing to trade. The GAF thread is way to hectic and big
-
Where did you get a Ghastly?
-
Jeez, I've never played a Pokemon game before, maybe I should start? Sounds like Demi is having a blast.
Why are there two versions? Which should I choose to start with?
Also, is Pikachu in the game? :-* I use to watch the re-runs of Pokemon in Fox's afternoon lineup years ago. Pikachu was always the cutest (and my favorite in Smash Bros.).
-
There are two versions because the whole appeal to Pokemon is that there are "exclusive" pokemon in each title, and you need both versions to complete it. This has been the same since the first duo was released (Red and Blue). They want you to find people who have the other version and trade with them to complete the collection. Some pokemon can also only evolve when traded, so you can't complete the Pokedex (an encyclopedia of all the pokemon in the game) without doing that.
It originally started as 150 (Red and Blue) but as of Diamond and Pearl there are now 493 total.
There's no advantage to picking either Diamond or Pearl, it just depends on what specific pokemon you want.
http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/exclusives.shtml
Before, you had to find someone who had the other copy, but with this version, you can now go online and trade with people all over. The game is set up so that throughout the game you will SEE every pokemon, but not be able to catch them. So what you do is go online, and try and gather the ones you need by asking for the ones you want. Alternatively, you can use Friend Codes with people from GAF or Evilbore or anywhere and trade with them.
Pikachu is in the game.
When you finish the Pokedex, you are given the National Dex, which allows you to catch every single pokemon in the game and get all 493. You can also connect the GBA versions to the DS, and allow you to capture some pokemon that way.
You can find a lot of info over here: http://www.serebii.net/
If you're not into the whole collecting thing, Pokemon is a nice RPG distraction, especially since you've never touched one. You should get FireRed or LeafGreen for GBA, since that is the best in the series, imo (it's a remake of the first games red/blue). Not to mention it is cheap ($19.99 new).
-
lawl I can send you a Teddiursa if you want.
-
OMG hack me one or something (preferably low level starter whatever like you just caught it), I just want one!
Can you make more than one? Like 3-4 should be good.
-
So you want 3-4 Teddiursas?
Or do you want something else too?
-
Where did you get a Ghastly?
I was riding around and found this haunted house place. Do you want it?
-
So you want 3-4 Teddiursas?
Or do you want something else too?
Just the teddies for now. OMG, pokebears.
-
Give me ~8 minutes and I'll have them for you.
-
Can I have a Charmander? Or a Chimchar
-
Okay, I'm ready if you are Demi.
Here's my friend code incase you need it:
2492 0604 4433
I'll be waiting for you in the lobby.
-
Just got a Psyduck. Is it true that if I give it an American name I can get a starter Pokemon?
-
The Japanese players will trade for just about anything. I don't even bother renaming them anymore, I just leave my trade up over night and by morning someone will have sent what I asked for.
-
Just got the water starter Pokemon from someone on GAF. I traded him a Ghastly :D
-
Just got the water starter Pokemon from someone on GAF. I traded him a Ghastly :D
If you go online again I'll send you a charmander.
Edit: I have to go now but maybe we could do these trades later.
-
I went out for lunch, IM me or something so I know you are ready
-
FRIEND CODE
3007 4588 2827
PD, I want a Gastly... damn I want a fucking Gengar BAD
If anyone has a Charmander/Squirtle/Bulbasaur, give me a PM.

Awesome. Thanks Demi. I'm going to look for Pearl and FireRed then :rock
I don't have a wireless router though, so I guess I can't do any WiFi stuff :/
-
You'd be surprised how easy it is to steal someone else's signal.
-
Nintendo has a USB WiFi adapter. For how much it costs, you are better off buying a wireless router anyway.
-
You'd be surprised how easy it is to steal someone else's signal.
muwahaha I was thinking about that too :-*
I think my dad has an extra wireless router, I'll just ask him to give me his.
-
Bloodwake, what kind of Pokemon do you have?
-
Bloodwake, what kind of Pokemon do you have?
Eh, I'm only two badges in, so not much.
Party as of right now:
Monferno lvl 26
Kadabra lvl 18
Geodude lvl 18
Staravia lvl 17
Buizel lvl 17
Buneary lvl 12
If you have Diamond I can go get you a Misdreavous (only PKMN from my recollection so far that I've encountered that isn't on Diamond)
-
What's with all this Team Galaxy stuff? Whatever happened to Team Rocket?
-
they blasted off at the speed of light, foo'
-
Team Rocket pretty much vanished after Red and Blue. I think they were around in Gold and Silver, but they're definitely gone in Ruby and Sapphire.
-
How do you find out if your Pokemon has been traded on the global trade thing? I've had a Psyduck on there for some time now, and I hope I don't have to go back to Jubilee every time to check. Although I'm about to get the fly HM
-
You have to go to GTS.
-
I got Diamond today. About to get my first badge.
I fished out a Magikarp and named it Lemurs :lol
-

oh shit. :lol
-
:lol
-
It evolves at Level 20. I love Magikarps. Take forever to level up, since I don't have EXP Share.
-
I really need to get one. Gyrados is freakin powerful!
-
In Pokemon Red Splash did a little damage, although miniscule, but in Pearl it doesn't seem to do anything at all. :lol
-
Splash has never done damage.
-
I thought I remembered it doing a tiny bit of damage.
-
Splash has never done damage.
Lol someone told me there's like a 1% chance it will do damage (100 damage) :lol
-
Many Pokémon moves have unique aspects that are not any of the above mentioned types, such as Pay Day, which damages the foe and produces money upon the victory of the battle in which it is used, False Swipe, which always leaves the opponent with at least one hit point even if used when the opponent already has only one hit point, and Splash, which has no power or effect at all. (Splash is only useful in Pokémon Contests.)
Splash
Move type: Normal
Move power: N/A
Accuracy: N/A
PP: 40
Effects: Does nothing whatsoever. The move is useless.
-
I'm getting a wireless router really soon. Get some Pokemons for me, Demi! I need some fire ones. :-[
-
Mmm, I'll get you more than that, kitty kat.
-
That shitty old man in Eterna City won't let me change the name of pokemon that I've traded for. >:( Now I'm stuck with some pokemon I traded with my friend that have stupid names.
-
How do I make my Pokemon happy? I caught a Cleffa and I want it to evolve into a Clefairy, and I looked online and it says it evolves when it is happy.
-
hey gays, i traded this in
-
Yeti-- You can make them happier by having them in your party, leveling them up, dressing them up, feeding them stuff they like orrrrr getting them a massage at some place I dunno where because I'm only past second badge.
I kinda got bored with te game too, I've been poking my PSP again.
-
game fucking sucks with no cheats. I need some cheats.

That's so much work. :-\
-
I got my router, but I can't get it to work :'( I'm going to mess around with it more tonight and see if I can connect.
-
This game has got be hopelessly addicted to it now. :'(
I've got four badges, and I can breed Piplups, working on the other two starters.
