Already have Pokemon, tonight I get Wonderboy, and that's all the money I spend until Spiderman 3 hits PS3.

I love how the "big three" doesn't include the DS, even though it is outselling every other console by a wide margin right now.

Not that my comment is relevant to the story...doesn't the monster on the cover of Pearl version looks wierd to anyone? Stare at it for while...LOL! =p
sheppy @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:14PM
Wait, wasn't Calling All Cars supposed to be in April? This IS the last Thursday...
Shagittarius @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:17PM
I was more excited to continue playing Lord of the Rings online, then they made me rename my main. Whats wrong with Scroto Saggins?
I'll still pick it up, it'll be fun for a couple weeks.

HAHAHA!! Thank God! I thought I was the only one that noticed that!! I guess the Art Director was out sick that day!! To think it made it all the way to the cover of Nintendo Power!!!
Yami @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:34PM
Screw Pokemon, SVC: Card Fighters is where it's at.
Shagittarius @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:35PM
I heard that monster spits pearl jam that roots its opponents. That reminds me I still gotta pick up an oozinator:

@#4 ;)
anyways... I took my brother to Toys R' Us yesterday, but they were all sold out of both Diamond and Pearl. I'll probably go to Best Buy tommorrow and Target to day.
3cubedminus3squared @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:42PM
OMG so I looked at it again and this time I saw the shoulders too! :P
j17 @ Apr 23rd 2007 3:47PM

Since Jack Thompson is busy exploiting the VT massacre this week, he's leaving the Pokemon battle to his annoying little cousin Oliver. Oliver Thompson is running around the media claiming that Pokeman trains kids to become members of the underground cock fighting industry. He's especially disgusted by Nintendo squishing these otherwise happy animals into little balls because that just teachs kids that it's OK to store your prized fighting cock in a tiny wire cage. He's even found one "reformed" person who's admiting to naming his favorite fighting cock "Cockachu".
Oh stop shaking your head. You know playing Pokemon is just a gateway activity that ends with a pair of $3000 chickens scratching each other to death with customized titanium claws!
Daniel @ Apr 23rd 2007 4:29PM
Whoo! New Card Fighters!
I was soooooo addicted to the original on the NGPC.
But... I'll probably be getting addicted to Pokemon this week. We'll see.

Picked up my copy of Pearl yesterday morning--and thanks to peer pressure got my boyfriend to play it (aargh! he's already further than I am!)
It was kinda weird being the oldest people in line (im 25, he's 29...)but hey, only as old as you feel.
And can't wait for capcom vs. snk card game--hope it's as fun as the pocket neogeo one--or is it a port, I havent been able to find that answer....
Jdoki @ Apr 23rd 2007 4:46PM
@22
It's not a port.
Screenshots on IGN show a different kinda environment, and their play test claimed 'everything has changed'. Even the card duelling mechanics. Not sure I'm happy or not about that, will reserve judgement until the European release...
Markusdragon @ Apr 23rd 2007 4:48PM
Waiting for pearl to arrive...

International shipping is slow D:

We and one of my friends went up to Wal-Mart and just walked around the toy dept for about two hours. The great thing about Wal-Mart is that you never know what's going to happen... At about 11:42pm, a guy began to sing "Happy Birthday, to You" on the intercom, like the old pervert from Family Guy.
At 12:01am, we asked a guy if he could help us, but he didn't help. Though he pointed to the night-shift manager, telling us to go to him. Within 1:15min or so, we had both Diamond and Pearl and were gone.
Liqwid @ Apr 23rd 2007 4:51PM
I love midnight launches.
Aberu @ Apr 24th 2007 1:35AM
I can see the future...
1. New Release next week, a Wii or DS game in a tired ran out game series, trying to unsuccessfully utilize the gimmicky nature of Nintendo's two underbuilt systems!
2. Rinse
3. Repeat
rockintom99 @ Apr 24th 2007 4:30AM
Eets? But I bought it on Steam last week. Boo.
NekoMode @ Apr 24th 2007 3:40PM
WWho would have thunk 12 years later I would still be buyin rehashes of the same game?
Anyways Pokemons is not just for kids. Was kickin it in the student center @ my college in the underground next thing you know 6 people jumped in and we were raiding eachother's secret bases.
The new wifi is awesomeness.
JonSabbath @ Apr 25th 2007 2:30PM
Agreed, I've been an avid player of every game since red and blue, the series may not change much but it never gets old to me. Pokemans ftw.
