    I would like setting for the degree of difficulty among trainers ingame. A omgwtfuberhard setting would make me happy.

    move tutors + wifi battle frontier + wifi tourney battle dome would be great.

    oh and give flareon flare blitz + other physical moves.

    I've thought about this before, but then started thinking the purpose of Pokemon isn't to beat the trainers in game, its to beat trainers out of them game. With that said I don't think there is much point in a difficulty setting, although it would be fun.

    At least game freak realised how badly they nerfed Regigigas, and they are giving it full potential now.

    But i can't see the point of an ice Shaymin, but maybe thats becuase we never got to actually catch it...

    But the new gym leader thing, if they do what they did in Emerald again it would be kinda tacky, like they're running out of ideas.

    Jasmine is most likely going to set up as Electric gym leader, fo' sho'.

    Ironically, I was sort-of surprised when I saw Darkrai had legs..lol..but wow this Shaymin may look weird..(looks sort of like a failed Eeveelution, eyes of Girafarig, kind of like Delcatty..o_O). Why do I have this feeling that it's still gonna be cute, just more mean/freaky/weird looking?

    If this is all true (which at the moment I can say around 90% chance of truth) then 2 forms, just like Giratina.

    Wait...what happened to that Ice Form Shaymin was rumored to have? I'm somewhat angered on the fact they're no picture of this Sky Form at the moment because I really want to see it D:

    There is no ice form. That rumor came from nowhere. Let it go.

    It was never confirmed that Shaymin would have an Ice form, but there was some Pokemon gadget with a new "?" Shaymin on one of those gadgets. That might have become this rumor.

    Yeah, it started with a hint about a new Shaymin form. There was no mention of an ice form, people just started speculating and the idea of an ice form came up. Then it spread around and people started to think that the hint was about an ice form, not just an alt form. There has never any indication that the alt Shaymin form is part ice. None whatsoever. It wouldn't even make sense. Shaymin spreads flowers where she goes. Ice kills flowers. Granted, a sky form makes almost as little sense. But at least theres some actual reason to think a sky form is what it is.
    Either way, Grass/Ice and Grass/Flying both suck.

    Huh. If it is a fake, it's at least by a fairly talented artist. Also, it looks a bit like a cross between Shaymin and Tropius.

    Why, exactly? A DS game cart holds more memory than a GBC one, you know.

    I mean, a Diamond/Pearl has only 64mb, while things like Elite Beat Agents and Phantom Hourglass have 128mb, and there's even a game (which name I don't remember) that has 256mb.

    Hell, they could put all continents into a single game cart. They just don't do it because they don't want.


    And what the hell is that Skymin. I want my Flying Regigigas >:(

    I actually like Sky Forme Shaymin and Origin Forme Giratina better than the originals. On a side note, I'd say HP Fire Shaymin just became more valuable.

    If you mean HP Fire, because Shaymin is probably going to see more use if its other form is any good (though I wonder how its stats will work). Most sets like their HP Fire.

    HP fire has redundant coverage with flying, and presumably Shaymin will be getting some nice flying attacks.

    Why the hell didn't I think of that? That would make HP Fire less valuable, if anything.

    HP Fire is still nice against Steels, though. I'd rather hit Steels than Fighters for super effective, especially because Fighting is neutral to Seed Flare.
