WiFi Underground would be awesome. I love the Sinnoh Underground Smilie

But you know what would be MORE awesome? CoOperative play/exploring!

Bring on the year 9001!

I'll be getting this as I lost my Diamond. Good fun.

"CoOperative play/exploring!"

Second.
That would actualy be a significant new path for the series to trend, seeing as they are running out of minor changes elsewhere.

You mean like walking around together in the underground, but being able to do it anywhere in the game? Yeah, I've wanted that for ages. Would be amazing to travel around and battle together in co-op. Smilie

of course, the first thing that comes to my mind right after "diamond" and "pearl" is platinum, I so had my money on Jade or Onyx... oh well.

Bowser. You Booz, you lose.

Again, it should be Opal, Giratina=Girasol, a type of opal... Smilie

Gold/Silver/Platinum would have made more sense than Crystal too. Alas no legie Pok�mon fit the bill for being Platinum coloured like Giratina sort of does.

Definitely shoulda been Opal. At least that isn't exactly unsuited to Giratina.

And yeah, I've wanted the CoOp thing for as long as I can remember. Nothing too huge, just 2-4 good friends travelling the region together, as is always implied by the anime, and some parts in games etc.

No need to post the same thing twice in two threads. :/

Did you ever get Diamond/Pearl? If you havn't got one of them yet, see if you can hold out for this. It'll be worth it. Many Pokemon whores like me however will get it anyway. Smilie

Sprite 12.05.2008#12

They ruined the naming pattern Smilie

There's a large part of me that doesn't want to get it just for that.

But the Pokemon whore part of me knows that I'll get it anyway.

Should've been Onyx, damnit, I like Onyx.

Zapp 12.05.2008#13

hmmm... I'll wait and see!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

All ah needed was a brain jogger. Smilie

I don't need a good memory! It's one of my endearing character traits!

Speaking of Pok�mon, Onix is one of the lamest Pok�mon ever made.

In the anime it's all like OSHI BROCK HAS AN ONIX! But really a Geodude is far more likely to pwn a Pikachu than an Onix, because in all the Pok�mon games up until D/P/P, Onix was just a rock type, and Electric works perfectly fine against rock type, it just fails against Ground.

So really Ash's Pikachu shouldn't have had a problem beating Onix.

And that's my series inconsistency annoyance of the day.

Also, Pok�mon Crystal didn't exactly work well with Gold/Silver. Not to mention Green doesn't work with Red/Blue/Yellow. There isn't a necessary pattern. It definitely worked well with R/S/E though.

I think I nearly cried when I opened Diamond and the cartridge wasn't coloured.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE FUCK! Smilie (I don't think I'm overreacting... it really is upsetting D Smilie

Actually, Onyx has always been Rock/Ground. I know, I've had one in pretty much every Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold team I've ever had. It was practically the only decent ground Pokemon I could have because I couldn't trade for Golem. Smilie

Those were the days...
