May 30, 2007 - Praising Pokemon Diamond |
 Wow, there have been so many things I could've blogged about this whole entire month. Yet for some reason, the laziness inside of me had this urge to keep away from EFx2. Yeah, it's been getting wild around the site lately. Not just with Aqua Blog, but with everyone's. Especially Keith's development blog, which has announced that ReStyle has been "put away with" as a feature for EFx2 and that the features will be implemented into a new blogging site. I don't know what this means for Aqua Blog, but we'll just have to wait and see.
But anyway, on with today's topic - Pokemon. Yeah, I know it sounds really childish. But honestly, the Pokemon franchise deserves all the praise in the world. Concerning me in particular, Pokemon has led average young kids on to the path of gamer-hood. I've had some great memories with Pokemon, buying into every generation that comes by. Diamond has resurrected those memories. My awesome brother chose Pearl. Having a brother with a separate version has its pros, considering these are some Pokemon only available in either version. Oh yeah, and on a side note, I did have this game on its North American release date, I was just too lazy to tell anyone about it. Read on for more information on the game.
The same typical formula which has led other Pokemon games to success is apparent in this one, too. You pick one of three starter Pokemon and go on an adventure to catch'em all. As expected, you run into some challenges on the way. A new team is around, this time called "galactic". While Ruby and Sapphire had team aqua and magma, which were based on the game's legendary Pokemon, galactic (which is around in both games) is strongly linked with Diamond/Pearl's legendaries. Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space. Together, these Pokemon make for a fierce battle.
On the note of legendary Pokemon, this game has ton. In fact, more than any other game before it. You have your main guy (Dialga/Palkia), plus the expected "legendary trio" (this time Mespirit, Uxie, and Azelf), along with a ton of others. Some include Giratina, Darkrai, Cresselia, Heatran, Regigigas, and let's not forget the EXTREMELY rare Arceus (which is considered the "god" Pokemon, so to speak). Arceus is only available through a Nintendo event which will provide you with the item you need to call him about.
Anyways, it's really fun. This isn't a review or anything, but I thought I might get some of you guys hyped about it. Until next time, blog on! |
