One thing that still shocks me tremendously is the fact that Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can be obtained in HeartGold / SoulSilver, if only by Nintendo Event. Merely doing this seemed to take a lot of the value away from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. However, perhaps I'm not the only one who feels this way. How does everyone else feel about this choice?

ZamFights Beta should come around Christmas, now.
Spoiler Alert:ZamFights Progress
Summary
ZamFights, a Pokemon Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by Pokezam's Webmaster Freezewarp, continues its development into Alpha 7, where you can trade Pokemon with a global trade station like feature and battle other trainers. Several bugs were also fixed.
Alpha 9, now in development, will feature numerous events and locations to go to, that is up to Fuschia. It will also feature the new, interactive map, numerous minor features, and an altered look.
Alpha 9 should come around Thanksgiving, and Alpha 10, or the public Beta, should come around Christmas.
Alpha 8 Preview
I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island!
There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?
Pretty much the same. I think that with all the new things being introduced in HG/SS, Pokemon from the Sinnoh Region is just going to make the Sinnoh Game Trio seem like crap. I mean, seriously... walking around with just about any Pokemon you own or anything is enough to win most people over. And in this one, it seems like it is going to be easy to obtain one of them. If you read the news on the site, you'll see something good about how to get Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
Um, I don't really see the point of having these Pokemons in HG/SS.
Some people are saying they are invaluable because you can EV train them, and that is awesome. However, I don't find it much of a special thing.
In any case, I also agree with you, FreezeWarp. This seems to make D/P/Pt of less value; very much less value indeed. Since we know that they won't serve a major role in the game most likely, this adds to the uselessness even more.
