by Justin McElroy on Apr 23rd 2007 2:58PM

Even if you have no proclivity to catch 'em all, you'd have to admit that Pokemans are holding down the fort this week. At least they're not ports, which is more than you can say for the big three. Besides all that, the kids just love 'em.

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

my new releases, let me show you them.

proud owner of pearl.

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

Wait, wasn't Calling All Cars supposed to be in April? This IS the last Thursday...

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.

@ j17 hahaha if its the same thing I was thinking, I am totally with you

@4

Oh my... Yeah, that monster's definitely ready to dish out some pearl necklaces.

@8

lol

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!!!

Screw Pokemon, SVC: Card Fighters is where it's at.

I heard that monster spits pearl jam that roots its opponents. That reminds me I still gotta pick up an oozinator:

I still don't see it. :( I suck at these type of jokes!
*stares harder*

@shagittarius

Yep, see it now LOL! Thanks

@#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.

OMG so I looked at it again and this time I saw the shoulders too! :P

Veins and everything!! HAHAHA

I'm glad I didn't get the Penis version.........

damn you yet again websence, i cannot see the picture, it is blocked.

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!

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....

@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...

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.

I love midnight launches.

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

Eets? But I bought it on Steam last week. Boo.

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.

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.
