Okay folks, the game of the month is here and it's time to go catch em all..

Pokemon is here and it now has Wi-Fi play. What does that mean for us? It means battling each other to the death with the most fearsome of Pokemon.
I picked Pearl up this afternoon and I went a few hours into it. It's the same Pokemon game we've all come to know and love, but now you can hop on the internet with it.
So who's with me?
Circuit City has it on sale this week for $27.99
(begin stoled internets contents)
Diamond and Pearl, the 4th Generation in the long-standing Pokemon series!
Many things have changed since the days of Kanto.
First, there is an all new world:
with all new gym leaders, trainers, and of course, Pokemon.
In fact, there's 493 of them now! Take a look here: http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/
And what's more, almost all of them are obtainable between the two versions. The only unobtainables are:
RBY Starters
GSC Starters
RSE Starters
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
Entei, Raikou, Suicune
The Regis
Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys
Other than that, you are set with one version!
"But wait! What about version exclusives?"
Ah, young trainer, we now have...
Wi-Fi Trading!
And not only that, we also have Wi-Fi battling. Not only can you obtain almost every Pokemon, but you can spar with anyone, anytime as well!
For those who lack wi-fi, here are the exclusives: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/exclusives.shtml
Now there's a reason for you keeping your GBA versions: unlocking Pokemon! After obtaining the Sinnoh Dex (which consists of only SEEING every Pokemon on this list: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/shinoudex.shtml), you pop in a GBA game and a handful of Pokemon become available for catching! The list of unlockables are here: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/gbapokemon.shtml
Speaking of GBA versions, there is now a way to transfer your old Pokemon into Diamond and Pearl! Be warned though: once they go to DP, they won't return. Find out more information here: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/3rdgentrade.shtml
The Night/Day system returns as well (which can be manipulated with the DS's clock, so no more staying up at night just to catch that Hoothoot).
No more are the days of types being relegated to Special or Physical status. Now when Pikachu uses Volt Tackle, it won't be a Special attack, but a Physical one.
List of attacks and their new status: http://serebii.net/attackdex-dp/
Not only that, but new abilities have also been added: http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/abilities.shtml
Of course, for the advanced trainer, there are new items to use when EV training, as well as helpful tools for breeding. Don't know what EVs are? This should get you going: http://serebii.net/pokedex-rs/ev.shtml

Wallower - 3608 7529 0951
I look forward to the battles. I will update this thread with more people's codes as you all get them. General rule is that if you add someone PM them and let them know so they can add you back.
