• Check out the relaunch of our general collection, with classic designs and new ones by our very own Pissog!

Please play D/P on January 12th.

I hope it's a shiny HaXKarP with Wonderguard and blast burn, frenzy plant, hydro canon and Focus punch!111 (Focus punch over hyper beam to stop blissey!!)

Eh, maybe it's GMT time zone?

Edit: I can accept a Sub-punching magikarp as well.
 
Lol, Mawile. But please note that this interview is 4.5 years old, so he might had changed his preferences.

Considering Sugimori gave away Psyducks, I'd say their favorites have changed.

This is so aggravating that no one knows yet what the event is. I'm so afraid that it's going to be really awesome, but I'm not going to know where to go and I'm going to miss it.
 
A new suggestion - perhaps one of the unobtainable berries will be released?

Just a random idea, but it could be what happening
 
According to some people on serebii, it seems to be the diamond dust weather effect in Snowpoint City. I sure hope this isn't everything!
 
I translated the entry using Google translator (lol), and something tells me it won't be a wifi event:

Original English Entry:

Greetings. Happy new year!
We look forward to your support
and encouragement.
In 2008, we Game Freak will try for
various things as always!
And we will keep striving to create
new innovation beyond the imagination.
Well,
I'd like to ask a question to you.
Do you have an aspiration for this year?
I, Masuda's aspiration will be
'to gather up stuffs firmly'.
Last year was the year of 'Challenge'...
This year, I'd like to gather many things up firmly.
If you don't have any aspiration yet,
try to come up with one!
Oh, yes.
Here's a little surprise for you.
Please play Pokemon Diamond / Pearl on January 12th.
You'll find something different!!!!!
I hope this year, things go well for all of you.
See ya.


Google Translated Entry:

Ladies and gentlemen, it ??? Congratulations.
This year also greatly appreciated.
2008, and this year the game freak, and many fine!
And despite expectations of more than creative play and keep birth.
Now,
But suddenly, everyone!
I thought of this year's resolution?
This year's Masuda said, "put together firmly."
Last year was a year of challenge, and,
This year, the firm sat down with the many things that I want at once.
Still, do not think that people would love!
This year's resolution, please take a look!

Oh, yeah.
Play a New Year's gift.
January 12 Pearl diamond please try to play.
Be something different!!!!!
Relations this year for many years may also wish you happy.
Now.

With no announcement from Pokemon.com (or anywhere else), a wifi event seems out of the question.
 
It's the same as the black cloud weather effect on those rainy routes iirc. Just rare weather effects of the rain and hail. Just pretty, nothing special. But there could still be something else! (Or so I hope)

You can always search on youtube for a diamond dust video. There ought to be some online.
 
#23 - Matchup Checker This function allows you to check your Pokémon in your party to see if they are compatible for breeding. A Very quick way to check for breeding. If your two Pokémon are compatible, the Luvdisc will kiss move in to kiss. If they're very compatible, they'll get 3 hearts, if they're moderately compatible, they'll get 2 and if they're just compatible they'll get one. This is based on Nature as well as Egg Group, go here for more info. If they aren't, then the Luvdisc will turn away from eachother. You can rotate through your Party by touching the Pokémon in question

#25 - Alarm Clock This function allows you to set an alarm for a certain time. Handy if you need to go out at a certain time. It goes off with a loud roar from Loudred.

No, doesn't diamond dust happen randomly? So, it might just be a coinc. that its like that today?
 
It's a rare weather effect that happens randomly, like a shiny Pokémon, indeed. And I sure hope it's a coinc, but we'll just have to wait 'till the blog get's updated, or 'till someone knows more about it.

Yes, it is random, I've benn trying to tell this to people there but no one listens... I've got that two months ago and I'm pretty sure it's a "calendar weather" (?). Days ago, I think Jan 3rd, Route in front of the restaurant (Not Lake Acuity, before it) was dark every day. Even in the morning I could notice a BIG diference between the colors of Lake Acuity and that route.

Not confirming this, but just gessing, since it seems plausible.
