Minor Updates News Thread

[Winter]

It has been confirmed by a number of sites that the Darkrai that will be given to people at various Toys R Us stores across the United States is identical to the one that was given away in Japan during the Movie 10 Premiere.

In the anime (in Japan right now), Satoshi/Ash and friends have moved on to the fourth gym town to meet and eventually battle Crusher Wake.

[Akai]

Not to go too off-topic, but I think there should be a Stickied Minor Updates thread,.... for, well, minor updates.

Like I didn't want to waste time or space posting that The Rise of Darkrai came out Tuesday .... or posting Shaymin's (fake) new form hoax. (It was darling, BTW.)

[Winter]

I'll edit this post, though can you see if you can sticky this thread?

[Akai]

No problems.

*done*

[FreezeWarp]

I sticked it 10 minutes ago

XD

[Akai]

>:3 Trickster! Mwhaha... Thankies.

EDIT: From my Pokemon Ranger update...

While browsing for sprites, I ran over this sheet. It seems to be the new Ranger female hero named Hitomi. This is a Japanese name, so until the US gets Ranger, all hail Hitomi.

Also, if you have any info on Ranger, post it here.

Updates from the official Japanese site, read if you're interested though there is no new information on Platinum.

- The Pokemon Center stores in Japan will be celebrating their 10th anniversary very soon and some special commemorative trading cards with Pikachu on them. To view them, click this link:

In addition, Club Nintendo members will have a chance to download Shaymin early before the release of Movie 11.

[Akai]

Ugh.... the cards look like crap. It's just a lame Pikachu posed the exact same way. =( What a huge let down... For being the 10th anniversary of something, you'd think they'd go all out and hand out real Pikachus or something crazy like that... You know how the Japanese are. XD

[!michael]

I actually like the cards. (: It's a nice touch, really. Though, they could have put the Pikachu in a different position. :/

[Winter]

Still no major information on Platinum though some new interesting cards are being released. Some for the Diamond and Pearl set and another set being released to commemorate the 11th movie release. The updates are here:

Deoxys @ GameStop

Deoxys is going to be a GameStop this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Check your local GameStop to see if they are participating. The only requirement is that you've played long enough to get your PokeDex. The Deoxys is suppose to be holding Nevermeltice and with a moveset of Psycho Boost, Zap Cannon, Extremespeed, and Iron Defense.

From Psypokes (http://www.psypokes.com/)

[Shiny Espeon]

This is for Pearl, right?

[Akai]

Both games, I believe.

[Winter]

The Deoxys is the same one given away in Japan and contains a Classic Ribbon which means it cannot be traded using the GTS.

[Akai]

Yeah. This give-away was last weekend too, but I didn't find the news until last night.

[HobbesI]

Ooh... I might go and get a deoxys today. I need to get a pokemon R/S/E/FR/LF game anyways.

[Shiny Espeon]

I'm prolly not going to go. =/ It's just Deoxys, and I don't even like Deoxys that much.

//bellyaching over.

[Akai]

Same here. I mean, unless you do plan on using him, he's not that important.

[HobbesI]

Well, he's more of a collectable. I mean what other time are you going to get a legit Deoxys? But anyways, with that insanely high attack stat, I'm going to be using him in competetive battling.

[Winter]

If you saw my post about the Jirachi giveaway in Japan, you will know that only one berry remains to be given away in the fourth generation, the Rowap Berry, No. 64. The Micle Berry was attached to the Level 100 Regigigas, the Custap to the Movie 11 Shaymin, and now the Japo/Jaboca Berry to this Jirachi.

I will be eventually acquiring these berries so if anyone wants them, I will be trading them. It won't be for a long time though.

[kakashidragon]

I found another pic about another DS cover with pikachus on it, I would give the link but its with other pics of shaymin,

[Akai]

Um... didn't SR say this... like two-three days ago?

[kakashidragon]

I found something else too today that a special collectable figure of giratina here the link if you want to see: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/platinum/hotnews/03.html

Also theres one thats all silver, but i couldn't the pic of it with a link thats good, The links I found of the silver figure was with other pics that couldn't be clicked on.

Thanks anyway. It's good to see you pay attention to the Japanese sites, though the news is a few weeks old. I posted in on June 14th. If you see something that hasn't been mentioned on the site, please post it, and I will credit you on the main site.

[kakashidragon]

Thanks I found my login info for the japan site and i got see some cool stuff, but of course they where old stuff but now im looking for more things.Oh I almost forgot i found a link for the new coins for that pokemon coin game they got in japan, I couldn't see the words when i made the site from japanese to english but heres the link anyways: http://battrio.com/goods/index.shtml
By the looks of it, the new coins came in packs at a some event that if you win in a certin place you the pack that would be in the rank you won in,That or you go the place and buy them i'm not sure I couldn't read the words on top of the page cause there was a white blob thing when i translated the site.

[Akai]

Unfortunately, if this is in Japanese, it's unlikely that it'll be in the US soon, or at all.

[kakashidragon]

Well guys I didn't find anything else on the japan site of pokemon, I guess I have to wait till I get another newsletter and see what they send me.
Also i know this is not news right here>>>www.onlinepokemongame.info But i just want to point out this site, what is it can you play a pokemon game like the 3rd Gen. games or what?

[Winter]

Thanks for the info as I'm sure people will want to play it over their summer vacation, though I'm not so sure it's authorized by Nintendo if you know what I mean.

[kakashidragon]

I found some news! I searched the web for news about pokemon and i found out that darkrai can be downloaded to your ds games by going to the new pokemen live event this august. Heres a link to the page: http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/browse/index.jsp?cat=cat1006754

I believe this is for people around the Uk and stuff, you just have check the page and find out.

[BuizelBoy]

Online Pokemon Game is a tacky little RPG, which downloas Zango onto your computer with it. It slows down your computer loads, I'd advise you to steer well clear of OPG and stick to safe, non-download games like Pokebattlers or TPPCRPG.

Thanks kakashi. Yeah the reason it wasn't really reported on is because we don't have many people from the UK here. DX-Mon is one and Legacy was another though he's been inactive.

[BuizelBoy]

Lol, I'm from the UK, not mainland though. I won't be able to get it.

[kakashidragon]

I read on another site(dont remember the link?)That in plantium theres a new place called the GBS(Global battle system). It said on the site that its like the GTS, but you can battle other people from any country(like the battle tower somewhat the same, but with battle tower rules). If i find the site again ill let you know with a link or something.

I've read that too but for the most part its wrong. There you can participate in all kinds of wifi activities, not just battles. Because of this I call it the GIC, or Global Interaction Center. What it will really be called will obviously vary.

[Winter]

Just to update here what I posted on the main site, the gyms have been given an overhaul as expected with Gardenia adding a propeller type machine and Maylene having boxing rings with trainers in them. It also appears that the dark cave seen in the official Japanese commercial is part of a gym; Roark's perhaps?

[kakashidragon]

Well you never know the GIC you call it could be called the GBS, but it depends what nintendos wants it to be called i guess.

[kakashidragon]

Oh i forgot to ask whats with the new pokmeon scans on serebii about new pokemon. there shaded in can anyone guess who those pokemon are, i think one is another pikachu 2nd stage.

[Winter]

Early speculation said it might have to do with Rotom, though that isn't confirmed. Pikachu would be quite a disappointment.

[kakashidragon]

Well i checked serebii again about the new pokemon forms that are shaded in, that there will be new items to get over wifi and in some sort of shop to get them. But im not sure if the over the wifi thing is just for plantium or for all 3 games,if so i wounder if they can be traded thru each game.

[Winter]

I saw that too. I'll report on them when there's more information. Thanks for posting and staying up to date.

[kakashidragon]

Ya everytime i come to the main site to see if you guys have anything new, sometimes there nothing for like a week so i go and check out other sites and suff for you.

[kakashidragon]

Does anyone that in the GTS, that darkrai is being traded in there? If you have darkrai in your pokedex you can trade darkrai's now in the GTS. I got about 3 or 4 of them my self from there, but i think most are hacked (not sure thu) but the japanese ones are real/legit.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no legitimate Darkrai from any region, as those obtained hold an item which prevents trading. I may be wrong about this, but I believe that is how it goes.

[PhiWolf_14]

I'm not sure about this, but I was talking to some of my friends yesterday and they said they were going to watch a new movie that features Giratina and Palkia on Cartoon Network. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard anything like that?

[kakashidragon]

everyone knows this but, this sunday pokemon platinum comes out for those who are to lazy to read the main sites news.
