Topic: Hatchy Matchy! Diamonds and Pearls!

[blackfootsteps]

Hacking will probably be a major problem considering how widespread it is in GBA games. I don't see hacking as much of a problem (for me personally) as I wouldn't really battle too often against people who weren't from Planet GameCube anyway.

I can't see the open level battle option being utilized much except perhaps for mucking around, by creating mismatched battles.

yea, I would _*not*_ be suprised if random match making IS NOT included in the game because of hacking. Granted I do not hack and have never owned game hacking devices (except for the _original_ Game Genie), random match making is rediculus when hacked pokemon are going to be such a given.

Friends only battling will be welcomed by me. Perhaps they can do random match making on some of the mini-games, like Jump Rope, Berry Spin/Berry Crush, Dotrio Berry Peck (whatever its called), and/or record mixing.

Damn I got into this late.

I can't wait to battle all of you in these games!

What would be awesome if you can set up your own 16 player tournament, then we could have a PGC forum(ers?) tournament!!

I would lose of course, because in general I suck at video games no matter how much I love them, but it would be a lot of fun! I haven't played my DS online in awhile because when my brother moved out a couple months back he took his router with him and I've been waiting until I buy a laptop to get a new one (I procrastinate everything like you wouldn't believe it's probably my worst quality).

But to sum up this post: I hope you're all ready to kick my ass in this game once it's released state side. I'm currently teaching myself japanese, but I don't think I can do it quickly and efficiently enough to play a game so text heavy.
