I'm not sure if you know but just incase you dont...

When with wild double battles (riley, etc) you have to defeat one pokemon and then you can catch the other. Other than that a message will come up with something along the lines of , " There are too much targets maybe when there are less."


Personally I don't think that dialga and palkia will be in a double battle. For one they aren't so supposed to be best of friends in the first place. They wouldn't work together to fight one person, which sounds stupid. But then again games do have stupid stuff. Second, most people who play pokemon are 8 year olds. Nintendo is aware of how stupid people are. People are losing to Palkia and Dialga right now. (yes I know how stupid it is), Two mass legendaries would be a disaster for newbs. Unless they make the pokemon Level 30-40 instead of 47 then it might make the double battle with palkia/dialga easier.

I hope that they don't make Dialga/Palkia in a double battle. But it would make it an excuse for people to buy Diamond/Pearl. Since most people are too stupid enough to read the little manuals and don't know how to restart the game.

In all honesty, I know I'd love to have the chance of fighting two legends at the same time when I was 8. Specially when I have to choose one of them to _try_ to catch (as I'd only have one Master Ball, which would be thrown only at Giratina). But, considering Giratina will be at lv.47, theirs might be a little lower. I believe it's gonna be 40. Just because it's a round number (I know, 47...).

And about the friend thing, in the last japanese video people posted, both Dialga and Palkia are standing against Giratina. I know it's not a scene that'll be in the game in 3D and all that shit, but I think they'll still follow the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic. While they weren't BFF in the 10th movie, the Rebellion pokémon has been summoned in the human world. And it knows OUTRAGE! It must be stopped, by all means.
 
You mean they attack each other aswell? That would be sweeet. It would make taking out one even more important. Palkia would be harder to catch though, Roar of Time 1hkos Palkia and Dialga is pretty hard to ko...

Is anyone else feeling intimidated about being forced to do a 3/256 catch rate one time only fight whilst in the middle of the story mode?
 
Ok, fuck my post. Tytus' idea is excellent.

And Dialga/Palkia's catch rate is 30, actually. They might change it in Platinum, but who knows.
 
Why everyone thinks they're going to be a wild double battle against two super dragons? They could have not added them into Platinum period, thus meaning you would need Diamond/Pearl to have them. And if they did added them, I wouldn't expect no double battle with them, probably something similar to Groudon&Kyorge within Emerald.
 
Hmm that'd make SRing them kinda suck, I'd be skeptical of such an idea since it's never happened before. And I never understood why the pixies were harder to catch than the two dragon legends ?_?, maybe cuz they're smaller? lol
 
Wasn't it because the power of the pixies "weakened" Dialga/Palkia? That's what I always thought.

And gosh. I'd HATE it if they made me do a double battle with those two. Having to decide which one to catch is not fun (Though if it comes down to it I'll choose Palkia). And it makes you wonder what the IVs of the fainted one might've been...
 
Little kids might get discouraged if they are forced to kill one of the legendaries, so IMO even if they do the whole "battle both at once" thing, there's a pretty good chance that the one you faint will appear later on. That said, SRing would still be a royal pain if that's the case. It just doesn't sound like something they would make a little kid go through if it's not necessary. Plus the fact that they may get overwhelmed in battle, like someone else mentioned.

You can't use pokeballs in double battles until one enemy has gone down if I remember correctly.

I'm going to throw this out there and say
What makes you all think they can't change it since they're changing and making a lot of new things? =P

I would enjoy being able to catch whenever.

But really I don't think this stuff will be too hard. Remember, this is Nintendo.

Nintendo.

The people behind Mario Galaxy.

IF we have to fight Dialga AND Palkia, I would suspect their level to be Lv. 30. Wouldn't be the first time a legend's been Lv. 30.


Also, yeah, I can't wait for the new sprites. Sounds kinda.... stupid but I love official art and it's a new look on things. Unfortunately some of the new ones I've seen haven't changed much from the original.

Animated back sprites. I don't know if this will be a blessing.... Or a curse.


Anyway, back to the legends, we're probably way, way off.
 
Yeah, maybe the fainted legendary wll be catchable after the E4... Or we'll be able to catch both at the same time. Or we'd have to faint BOTH and only catch them after E4. Whatever, so many possibilites.

And RobertM, don't forget Kyogre in Sapphire and Groudon in Ruby :]
 
*Hopes we can trade with D/P before beating Elite 4 just like Emerald and R/S*
Then I can trade some good IV'd mons over and destroy stuff (Yes I know about obedience, I have ways to get around it)

I've personally never enjoyed trading stronger Pokes over right away. I get a feeling of nostalgia starting fresh every time, even though I end up forgetting those Pokes anyway. Speed-playing the game is another story though.

>_> Ruby Groudon was the thing that made my best friend quit Pokemon all those years ago. He got sick of trying to catch it. I don't blame him...
 
Ah, but I'm not trading stronger Pokes right away, just good IV'd ones, hopefully EV trained (usually try to make the levels as low as possible whenever I EV stuff in case I need to restart something). I see no point in using stuff for the whole game that's just gonna be released eventually.

* Platinum's Battle Frontier was designed by Professor Oak and inspired by Scott's Battle Frontier
* After 77 consecutive victories in the Battle Tower, you receive Oak's Letter, which allows you to encounter Shaymin at the Flower Paradise
* Each area of the Frontier gives only 1 symbol (you could get 2 in Emerald)
* After earning 3 symbols, you receive a Members Card from a strange man, which allows you to encounter Darkrai on Newmoon Island
* At 5 symbols, the last area opens
* At 6 symbols, you receive a Rowap Berry (If the Attacking Pokemon damages a Pokemon with a Rowap Berry attached and was using a Special attack, the Attacking Pokemon is also damaged)

So apparently the rom is already out, but as pokebeach says, this info might be false cause it is too good to be true.
 
Like hell they would give us Shaymin and Darkrai lol.
DP's storyline takes place before Emerald's. Scott's BF likely doesn't exist yet.
 
Doubt it's true. They barely gave us anything for beating the Emerald Frontier. Why would they just hand over those goodies to us now when they can plan some moneymaking or hard to get event that allows us to get those two?
 
The only "likely to be true" lines are that Oak designed the frontier, the last area opens after 5 symbols and Rowap Berry..obtaining Shaymin and Darkrai in-game seems too good to be true.
 
The only thing I would believe is that after you work that hard, you get a freaking berry, because they've done that before.
