BTW, I'm another Piplup-Diamond. He pwns. No trouble at all going through the game with using just about only him. Only fainted twice or so... Amazing. Smile

I'll try to get a Spiritomb today, I think... Got a Chikorita on the GTS, I'm sure it's worth a hatched one. Then I'll go digging, and get some fossils, and start collecting every Pokemon. In the sense of actually having one of each. Toungue

Persian and Manectric will probably be shiny. Hence, I need to trade and back with a Deoxys, I can do that with all the other event legendaries I lack with a group from another site.

Armi, no Psyduck! They're evil creatures...

Oh, I hate Psyduck, but Golduck is my absolute favorite pokemon. Mine finally evolved today. -.- Psyduck's stats suck so much, but Golduck is so well balanced. Training my Crogunk now.

Gar was right on X/D...I have to do 100 battle without quitting. =/ Once I get National Dex, I'm doing 100 battle to get my Quilava.

After beating the game numerous times in Gold with duping master balls and legendaries, I have also decided to go to the E5 without legendaries. But of course this would mean that I would have only 3-4 battling Pokemon and the rest will be for sacrifice. I will probably get Diamond this weekend or next weekend, but I probably won't play much until the summer due to AP tests, projects and finals.

I don't really like this gen's starters because all of them look ugly except Piplup. I'll probably get the fire monkey because he is fast.

Does anybody else think that the game is shifting more towards physical attack? Because when I looked at some new Pokemon, I saw most of them had high attack power, and so far I haven't seen a good Special attacker.

Actually, I'd say that the game is shifting towards offense in general, rather than physical attack per se. In fact, with the introduction of Choice Specs and virtually every Pokemon getting a decent STAB attack to run off the stronger of their two Attacks, D/P is probably offering more options to Special attackers than R/S/E did, given that in the latter, Special attackers could do close to nothing once Blissey sat its pink behind in front of them. Good luck doing much walling in D/P though, I personally seem to have lacked foresight when I made my decision to breed Duskulls in order to obtain a perfect Dusknoir.

Admittedly though, there appears to be a LOT of potential Physical sweepers as compared to Special ones. Look no further than Heatran for good Special Attack though.

With new possibilities, I love that Steelix can be found in the wild now and you can give them Fire/Ice/Elect Fang that can do decent damage. But I have seen all those new offensive abilities. I'm surprised by how many there are, and I'm glad to see new diversity in the types of strong moves(similar to how I felt when Shadow Ball was released Toungue

) But also, there are quite a few new healing moves. I personally love Aqua Ring & Leftovers on Manaphy, lol

UPDATED May 6th

Funny thing happened yesterday at my school. Two people have the nation Dex now and we all were given Eevee eggs, so this proved you don't need national Dex to get the other pokemon.
One of the two guys that have the ND has caught the other 3 legendaries.

I milked my friend, but I had to give up my Cubone and Hitmonlee. -.- He Pal Park'D my shiny Nidoking! *much love now* I don't plan to fight with my Nidoking for awhile (he's lv 58 to my lv 30 team...it's not fair), I just really wanted him back. He fits my Double Battle team plan though.

I haven't hatched my Eevee egg yet cause I don't know which Eevoultion to pick.

Seconded.

Anyways, my team is 4.5/6 done now. I've been lazy lately.

Anyways I just noticed this thread but I got Diamond a couple days after it came out. I'm at the elite four right now failing. And since the list wants starters I had gotten the water one o.o

Added to the list (Welcome to the Diamond/Water club. We have t-shirts.)

I changed my planned starter from fire to grass ~~because grass is strong against water~~ for diversity.
