i think its for a sorta video chat function i saw on serebii, you might need the latest DSi for it to work, but its all optional...

So it's not necessary for the basic function of the game?
That's what I'm worried about.

I just hope that's it.
My worry is it'll wind up like what happened with THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars, where you have to have a Japanese DSi, a compatible cell phone and an account on the maker's (Namco Bandai) mobile Web site in order to advance in the game.

So you needed all that to continue the game? Failed.

But so far the new pokes look alright. Some look like digemon, some like yu-gi-ohs,some look like some kinda shit youd see in Some Hentai Porn. Somehow.

But I'll Probaly go with the fire starter (If I get it, its coming out at that time when I have no money left from Christmas or anything) as Smugleaf will be so overused, and the water looks really shit.

And so the final evos for the starters are real.

Swooooshhhhhh.

That giant pink caterpillar is awesome.

Wow it really is Fire/Fighting.

Surf's up dudes.

Apparantly Smugleaf's final evo seems to be a fast physical attacker. Pokabu's final evo seems like an inferior Hariyama. Zoroark seems to be just another Lucario. I'm judging these from stats.

That monkey trio has evolutions.

It's all here now. All 5th gen Pokemon.

There seems to be a noticeable power creep with the NON-Legendaries, most of them having really high stats in several departments. I expect a gargantuan metagame shift.

Is #561..............an Unown evo?

Looks like Gardevoir's been moonlighting as a singer at a nightclub. <3

you know, it looks as if some of them should be vesion excluseves, like 627 and 628, with 629 and 630 exclusive to the other game ya know?

lalala.

Gamefreak's answer to anti-piracy is that you don't get Exp. Well played

I just hope that only applies for ROM emulators and not for import gamers as well.

I don't know, but #626 looks like the evolved form of Tauros.

It does, though apparently some flashcards playing the ROM are allowing exp.

Patches are slowly being made right now afaik

The games are region-locked. Meaning if you don't have a Japanese DS, you can't play a Japanese game card.

VERY slowly. Everyone I've talked to has told me that GameFreak has put in the most elaborate anti-piracy features into the game. In fact, I've been told numerous times that by the time patches are finally made, the game will be nearly out in the US anyway.

Alright guys, every Pokemon is getting a new ability through the Dream World. I'm not going to spoil the abilities here, but I'll just list the Pokemon with my favorite additions. The ones in bold mean I think that it would be gamebreaking. Some of them are still to be translated, so they must be new abilities.

Clefable, Ninetales, Alakazam, Politoed, Entei, Blaziken, Swampert, Swellow, Breloom, Exploud, Sharpedo, Altaria, Gliscor, Goth Girl, and the Chandelier.

A certain Water/Ghost gets the Damp ability. Hey, a Ghost type with Damp, how awesome is that?

Good thing an Action Replay 999 Rare Candy work around has been made, yoink!

I forgot the link.

Ninetales with DROUGHT.

Politoed with DRIZZLE.

I think I've made my point.

FINALLY, OTHER Pokemon with Shadow Tag. Woot!

The freaking Chandelier Pokemon has those two beat. Freaking Shadow Tag... Competitive 5th gen Pokemon is going to be a huge mess. You cannot prepare for anything.

Goth Girl has Shadow Tag too but she doesn't seem to have many tools to use it to her advantage, but the Chandelier gets Will-o-Wisp, Calm Mind, a ridiculous base 145 Special Attack..., immunity to Normal and Fighting type attacks, amazing STAB, Pain Split, MEMENTO... Choice attacking is going to be dead. I hope there's a Shadow Tag clause.

Let's also not forget Zoroark and that Illusion ability.

Crap, sorry for triple-posting, but seriously, Life Orb Alakazam with MAGIC FUCKING GUARD. If that doesn't get it back into OU, I dunno what will.

Psychic type offense is mediocre. Alakazam is so frail anything OHKOs it. Not losing 10% for attacking doesn't make a huge difference. Scizor and Tyranitar as well as many Scarfed Pokemon will still give it nightmares.
