Still no release date for here. =\ But hey, I'm interested. The last 'proper' Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Blue back when the Atari 2600 launched.

I want the Dialga version that's for sure, as for which starter I want is kind of a dilemma because their 3rd form looks interesting enough to want them all, but I'm leaning towards the penguin though.

Turtle all the way.

Though I sort of wish you had the option to pick from the three or do a questionaire that would pick the best starting pokemon for you.  It would choose from a wider variety of pokemon that were still on par with the 3 starters.

I'm hoping to catch a Farfetch'd.

I'm leaning towards the turtle. I think the first gym is rock and the 2nd is grass. I tend to pick the grass types, anyway. I got Bulbasaur and Treeko, but for GSC, I Cyndaquil.

I liked the monkey cause it looked the funniest, however turtle would go natural for me.  However my real name is Willy and the penguin would forever remind me of Chilly Willy.

wtf am i gonna do?

Well, the penguin evolves in to a water/steel type. There's no ice in there.

I know, I'd so pick the penguin, if it would become an ice type! But, oh well. . .

Edit: I just realized that it would throw off the balance of the starter set. Ice beats both ground and grass, so the penguin would gain some leverage over the turtle. It all makes perfect sense.

They could have picked a different pokemon to be a starter then.

Yeah Ice beats ground and grass but that theory doesn't hold up to well since Infernape(the fully evolved fire monkey) is Fire and Fighting. With Fighting being strong over Steel.

There are so many water/ice types anyway, why do we need another? Take your pic from Dewgong, Lapras, Cloyster, or Walrein. There needs to be alot of variety like Steel/Water.

Oh boy I can't wait to battle you guys! Im never secretive about my Pokemon either,  I never use any Ubers and always use Primeape! He's cool, not very strong defensive wise, and underused, thats a winning combination!

I enjoy using non-ubers too. I can't wait to battle you guys too but unfortunately i'm going to have to wait since there isn't even a damn release date for the game over here yet, and i'll be avoiding all Pokemon threads until I get it because of spoilers.

Empolean (the 3rd form of the penguin) is really great. With the almost entire absence of any fire based affinity Pokemon in the normal part of the game. (Besides the starter and Ponyta, which if you don't get the Monkey it a must catch.)

Two Pokemon you will want to get when you are able to are the Lucario (you get it after the side quest at Steel Island before/after the seventh gym you gets its egg. It's a fighting steel type.

And the ground/dragon which is in a hidden cave under the bike road (its completely under it but you have to be able to use strength to get into the main part of the cave which is either the sixth or seventh gym also....) It has three forms and holds up well against this game's version of the elite four even in a lower level.

Oh and if you want any of the starter Pokemon for any of the games I have them, and Eeves. I will also trade/give (ie trade for a worthless one) the rares mentioned above they are caught so far into the game that if you want them in your party for the end of the game you will have to take the time to build them up. These are not hacked since I have the Japanese version of Ruby I'm using that to funnel my Pokemon I got from the Gamecube games, Emerald, Fire Red etc into my japanese Diamond. (Pal Park doesn't open up until you talk with Professor Oak, he visits the Professor from this one after you complete the main game.) And the Ditto trick with the Day Care center works wonders once they start producing eggs sometimes they produce them in quick sucession.

There is an Apdoption/Trading center in one of the Towns that uses the Wi-Fi but my experience with it is the people who offer their breed Pokemon are rip off artists. One person wants a lvl 100 Pokemon for the Grass Type starting Pokemon (lvl 1)...

Oh the game release date is the 20th..

You can't until you beat this game version of the elite four. Like in Ruby you wake up at home and head to the Professors house which is in the next town. While you are talking to him Professor Oak appears and gives you something called the Poketore (which is used to mark where hi level pokemon are in some patches of grass), then he leaves. You have to go to a place called Pal Park which is found by Surfing down the water route located in that town. When you get there you talk to Professor Oak again, who hands you an upgrade to your watch that shows which are the top three pokemon you found with the Poketore. Then leaves you talk to the person and you find that Pal Park had just opened. How it work every 24 hours you are able to move six pokemon for each GBA gamepak you own. (To do this in the loading screen there is a new opition that allows you to do this.) There are more down sides to this one you can just set the DS clock ahead the game will realize this and then make you wait 48 hours, two you cannot move Pokemon that have HM moves on them, so if you want to move Rayquelza you will need to unlearn Fly, Wailmer Wirlpool, etc. Here are another two issues I don't know about yet. In the Japanese version the game doesn't recognize US GBA carts, so if you have Japanese GBA games they might not register with the US version. Another is the multiple pack thing, you may have to go into the game and catch the six you transfered before you can put in another GBA pack and move another six. (It's not that hard the Pall Ball have a 100% catch rate but you have to catch all six to get them and you have to have a pokemon that surfs to get most water types.

As for the stage all I know about it is it is an expanded contest from the GBA games. (It hits me something like the ones from the anime Battle Frontier)

You also get four "escort" missions of sort that open up things. All battles are two on two, you get all the exp, your Pokemon are always healed after each battle so you can use them to level up. Three of them I don't know about, the first and the fourth is during the regular story mode. The second is in the cave of Doubt don't know what that opens up, the third is on steel island where you will need to have a spot open in you Pokemon rouster because he gives you an egg that eventually turns into Lucario which is a really good fighting/steel type Pokemon. (After a initial evolution.)  The fourth mission is just to help you fight the two Admins so you are healed up afterwards for a one two punch. The first is an impressivly leveled up (compared to his last fight) against the leader of Team Galaxy then with being able to make a temporary reteat a fight to get/kill Dialga/Pelika. (After you get that pokemon go back into the shrine there is a hold item that powers up that legendary's moves, you will see the item behind the Pokemon right before you fight them.)

As I mentioned in my last post there is a trading center that is like the classified but I think most of them are rip off artists.

There is VoIP for the games but since I cannot speak Japanese I haven't been able to test this out. (Since most gamers will be Japanese.)

The battle pyrmid of this game has an Wi-Fi to it so you will you fight in Tournament type battles. A few Fire Red Pokemon are availvable on Northern Island after you beat the game. (Ferrow, Ratticate, Spearow, Ratata, etc I have run into)

Stupidity is lost on my. Then again I'm almost always lost.
