Pokemon Diamond / Pearl Trading/Battling Topic

[xmagxus]

I wonder how many legitimate "Special Event" pokemon were given out at each event in total? I stood in line at Toys R Us and downloaded Mew. It was cool, but there was no one there. Mabey 20 people in line, and I was the oldest! (20)

I've heard stories of people in their 40's or so showing up with like 10 copies of the game downloading the event pokemon on each one then selling it to people outside the store >.>

i'll be up for about another hour...anybody wanna battle?

[calthaer]

I have all the legendaries from the GBA games totally legit. The Deoxys I had to send my carts down to Houston; the Celebis & Mews I got at events. Jirachi is easy; I preordered Colosseum so can probably get as many of those to people here as want them.

Will post my friend code tonight. I haven't played very much, but perhaps will get a chance this evening. Have some other stuff going on in my life right now that precludes lots of game-playing. Sooner or later will have to migrate some of my team members over from the GBA games, whenever that option opens up in the game...I have some extremely wicked pokes that I bred to near-perfection and have some utterly nasty moves. And I haven't even bothered to catch most of the legendaries yet.

When does the online option open up?

When does the online option open up?

I think it's after you get your first gym badge.

I know that our GameStop is having a pokemon tournament today on sunday...anyone elses having one?

[calthaer]

OK, here's my friend code:

3007 4733 3521

I'm not too far in the game, but am working on it. Lots of real-life stuff going on with me right now that keep me from either having the time or desire to really push through some of the levelgrinding. But once I get up there, I'll be able to make some nice trades for pokes imported from the GBA games - I have access to all of them (including the Colosseum ones and even a legitimate Jirachi).

I have added all of you except xmagxus - sorry, but I don't want to have anything to do with Pokemon from a hacked cartridge at this point. Maybe if all the events have come and gone and there's no option for getting those promo guys, but I can wait for the promos to happen, myself. I managed to get all the GBA ones, and it was actually kind of fun to figure out how (even had some helpful DPers who took my cartridges to the Space Center in Houston to get Deoxys). I'm going to try to do the same with DP.

Just got my 8th badge about 65 hours play time. Hope to see some DPers on sometime.

Note: there is a java-based chatroom on Serebii.net where you can meet people who want to battle & trade online, live. I haven't tried it yet (I'm barely past the first gym still), but if someone trades and wants to it out, let me know how it is.

I've also found that the GTS (Global Trading Station) is, besides being loads of fun, also really easy for obtaining the Pokemon you want or need. It's cool seeing the dots show up on the real-world globe for places that you've traded with (as long as the other person has registered their location - some of them haven't)...so far I have two places in Japan, one in China, and California lit up. It also saves loads of time - I just catch Pearl version-exclusives (Bonsly, Shieldon, etc.) and offer them up - even for relatively easy-to-catch guys - and I usually get a trade within six hours.

Besides, the more Trainer IDs I have, the better chance I'll have with the lottery at the TV station.

Fun!

Here is my friend code, finally.

I havent played this in awhile, I think I overwhelmed myself with the whole EV training on one pokemon, this was the first time I did this in any pokemon game and after I got done with the training I had basicaly stopped playing. I really want to get back into the game though since I put so much time into it.

Yeah, I'm up to about 100 hours into the game now. Been screwing around alot in the battle tower.

[BHvrd]

Finally started playing this.

This is by far the best Pokemon ever! The music is great, especially love the tune in Eterna city, reminds me of old school Big N beats.

I love the mining! Brilliant addition and a great never ending resource. So many Legendaries too!

I always liked Ruby/Sapphire version the best followed by Colosseum on GC, but this game trumps all others, this is just a great well put together pokemon game, it incorporates all the great features of the others and then some.

Not just another Pokemon game, Nintendo put more into this than I realized. The ability to voice chat while on wi-fi is.....interesting. BRILLIANT.

Hope to see you guys online once I get pal park open and get my old teams assembled.

Eh, dumb question but anyone know how to get the friend code? Wanting to make poffins.

[calthaer]

The people in the basement of any Pokemon Center should be able to tell you what your friend code is, IIRC.

Either there or the global trading station place.

[Fuyukaze]

Finaly found my number.
Charcter:Yukari
Friend Code:4725 9889 5143
It was in the Pal Pad.
Now, I need to find active players so I can do any of the multi-player things that sound fun or usefull.
