Pokemon Diamond news

Now this is like BBC ><

Okay, Release date: Not confirmed, but confirmed that it will release somewhere in 2006.

New pokemon: There are 5 new pokemon,
Manyula (Jap. Name) Evo of Sneasel
Bonsly (Eng. Name) Baby Sudowoodo
Rukario (Jap. Name) New supposed legendary
Munchlax (Eng Name) Baby Snorlax
Manene (Jap. Name) Baby Mr. Mime

Diamond and Pearl will really (and I really mean really) come out in DS. So those who don't have a DS, go get one now! There are no supposed Action Replay/Gameshark codes as for now, and will only come out when it releases.
It can use all of Nintendo DS's capabilities too....

They would likely make other pokemon, I could expect much more......

Update 1: From Serebii.net.
# They are set in a region different to Kanto, Johto & Hoenn but contains old Pok�mon aswell as the new ones
# You are capable of transferring your hard trained Pok�mon from Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed & LeafGreen to these games
# Diamond will allow for up to 16 Players to be linked at once in a Union Room style situation
# There will be no new Pok�mon types but new type combinations such as Steel/Fighting

Update 2: From IGN.
October 20, 2004 - Nintendo pretty much confirmed NDS as the successor machine to the Game Boy Advance with the announcement that Pokemon Diamond & Pearl would be appearing on the system. As successors to the mega million selling series of portable Pokemon RPGs, these games could end up bringing the franchise's massive fan base to the new portable.

In a recent interview found in Japan's Famitsu magazine, Nintendo revealed that it's not cutting corners on the game. Commented Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of Creatures Inc., "We've developed many entries in the Pokemon series. Among those, titles such as Pokemon Ruby & Saphire and Emerald are the backbone of the series. We've started developing the NDS Pokemon Diamond & Pearl as the true successors to these games. They will be the definitive entries in the series, so please look forward to them."
The good stuff doesn't end with Diamond & Pearl, though. Ishihara also talked about Pokemon Dash's dual cartridge feature with the magazine. Nintendo revealed at last week's press conference that gamers would be able to connect a Game Boy Advance Pokemon cartridge to the NDS while Dash was being played. Ishihara clarified: "While playing Pokemon Dash, if you insert a Pokemon-related Game Boy Advance cartridge, your Pokemon will become a race course. It will become a fun course in the shape of a Pokemon."

Racing on a course shaped like a Pokemon should be lots of fun for Poke-freaks, as should playing through the definitive Pokemon RPGs. Pokemon fans will definitely want to take a close look at the DS later this year.

Now this should be -Pinned-

I shall update it when more info comes out.

How are you supposed to trade from the advance games to the DS game?

And I've got to admit... ONLY 5 NEW POKEMON!? COME ON!! as if.

DS has a wireless adapter. And the five pokemon is all that Nintendo confirms.

I know it has a wireless adapter! Who do you think i am? I mean that it has no capability to trade with a gameboy advance game (part of nintendos plan to eliminate the gameboys). So how can you trade your old pokemon over from your old games?

since the DS has 2 slots(1 to the GBA games and other for DS games) we can trade them only by using those slots.

Thats the way it seems.

but when it opens one game it shuts off the other

It's called "Get two DS's you foo"

lol.

One with Diamond, one with FR/LG/E/RU/SA

Yes, that's how they trade..... Since the GBA does not have the DS's capabilities, that's the only way they can trade to and fro.

I have got a DS and theres a place for GBA/GBC Games and then a place for DS games.

DS can't play GBC games. I have one too! And the DS's wireless capabilities are not compatible with any advance game so having 2 DS's won't be any better than one. I guess they will make it so you can put the gba game in the slot and trade from one to the other.

There is a place for them believe bluster. Its a $40 dallor pice.

What are you on about?

Um get with it! There is a lot more then 5 Pokemon, they are just giving you a preview of what is to come.

Actually, there are more than 5 release pokemon, but the five are all that are confirmed.
