I noticed the no-base thing too. Are you fighting it while it's just floating around or something? Or maybe Pokemon with the levitate ability/flying types no longer have bases underneath them? That, or it is a different dimension.

That guy standing in front I'm them I'm pretty sure is Cyrus, because of the lack of a red hat.

And in other news, blue winter coat+red beret? Goodness. Outfits have been getting worse since FR/LG.

I'd laugh if they gave the guy a winter sweater and all they did was change the color or Dawns skirt to blue/black. Contradictions much?
Hopefully it's part of some sort of system where your clothing changes depending on the environment. It wouldn't make much sense if you would run around in a winter coat all the time, unless the average temperature in Sinnoh suddenly dropped by 5 degrees...
 
Well, Sinnoh is based on Hokkaido, so I could see it being cold enough to require at least a long sleeve shirt or jacket for all non-summer months.

As for the clothes, I could very easily see Dawn keep her skirt even if she wore a sweater. If anime is any indication, it would just be a longer skirt, and I don't know if programmers would actually feel like changing it for that.

By the way, the beret is freaking hideous. It needs to be done away with all together.

I laughed when I realized Dawn didn't freeze to death trekking up route something to Snowpoint city in D/P. No warm clothing for her lower body whatsoever, just some skirt and those boots. The male character is more fit to go through that then her.
 
Clothes in different seasons... Shaymin with different types depending on the weather... Dialga for time... Palkia for space... Giratina for weather...

I'd rather have the ability to manually change the players clothes then have him put on some hideous winter jacket against my will :( I was wondering too why Dawn didn't freeze to death on the way to Snowpoint City. She's wearing a scarf, but a short skirt. wtf?
 
well if a choice scarf can make you faster then is entirely possible that there's an anti-cold scarf that allows for short skirt in rough wather.

small note: when i played diamond for the first time i had thought that the male avatar would be the worst one in all pokemon games; apparently i was really wrong.
 
Hey guys, remember that Shinx egg thing?

It's not confirmed to be true yet, but I was able to fully translate it earlier.
"Pre-orderers will get a special ticket worth a Shinx egg with special moves".
It's most likely a ticket ingame, but nothing is specified, nor do we know if it'll be Japan-only. But right now any bit of information is to be valued, ne?

Actually, I haven't heard about a special Shinx egg. What did I miss?

Probably comes with Volt Tackle, perhaps shiny. I can't see what else the special move would be. "Special Ticket"?? Perhaps the ticket just has some kind of code that must be entered somewhere, like Electivire/Magmortar in PBR and Manaphy in Pokemon Ranger. It's the only way I can see the "ticket" working, unless it's something pre-programmed into first-edition games, which I doubt.

If Pokemon items worked on humans.. An apple core could feed you forever! (Leftovers)

The blue skY blog is where all that info we have from Serebii was first posted. However, someone noticed the newspost said something about Shinx. Using my average japanese reading skills, I manage to make a quick translation, most notably revealing that it involved a Shinx egg and a ticket of some sort, but there was a kanji there that made things confusing for me, so I couldn't really get a spot-on translation. Now that I worked through my dictionary, I found out some other meanings to that kanji and was then able to translate it.
 
That scan does have a good quality (and is larger)..now I can see Lucas's custom even better..as for Giratina not having a ground base..maybe because it is in a different dimension..or something ..I don't know.

Imagine if there is a new map: Different Dimension, complete with dungeons, wild pokemon, and lurking Dialga/Palkia (like Kyogre and Groudon of Emerald).

Cyrus was never closer to becoming the Dark Lord of Pokemon.
 
New Scan?

Haven't seen it posted yet.

Doesn't seem like it has new info though..
 
At least we can be quite confident that Shaymin will be catchable ingame now without any fancy voodoo AR powers.

The Shaymin portion refers to a Shaymin Mystery Gift, which isn't much help at all. It's a gigantic shame how entire story sections of the game are ignored in favor of Nintendo just giving us an un-nicknameable, un-soft resettable, generic version of super rare Pokes.

Did you know that Deoxys has his own battle themesong in Fire Red and Leaf Green? What a fucking waste. Arceus has his own song, too, which didn't make it onto the OST because "he doesn't exist" yet. How much do you want to bet non-Japanese people will ever get the chance to hear those songs (short of cheating)?
 
Yes, Shaymin is using Aromatherapy, not changing forms or anything.

It doesn't have any new information, from what I've read.

I think it's transfered form Ranger 2, since if you look at the right photo (PokeMart) you'll see the hero talking to a guy, which is the same method when many people transfered Manaphy from Ranger...at least I hope so.

My own wishful thinking wants this to be true, but Ranger is mentioned nowhere in the text. It appears to be a Wireless Present for those people who go to see the upcoming Giratina movie.

Here goes.... I really hope that what I've said it true and is there any useful even a bit information you can translate for us? (thanks).
