Diamond or Pearl?




Posted by Ant

Which one did you get? And why? Or did you get both...and once again, why?

I got Diamond. Frankly, I got that picked that one when I first heard about the names of the next one's coming out way back during the japanese release date based on the name alone. And after buying it, and looking at the list that are Diamond only, I'm pleased with my choice :)

i got pearl because a close friend got diamond, however i wil most likly get diamond somtime in the futrure

I got diamond because I reserved it on the spot. The guy askes me which one I wanted and I stayed there going "uhh" for about 30 seconds. He started getting frustrated so I went with Diamond.

I don't actually own my own copy... but I've playing Diamond, which will also be the one I buy when I can actually find it in stores. Why? Because I've always bought the one with the cooler pokemon on the front and always the version with the best colour.

I've always bought the less popular one, so I got Pearl.




Posted by muffla

pearl > diamond

not really but the ebgames i reserved mine at ran outta diamond before all the preorders were fufiled so i was luck i pre orderd
pearl

You see, most of my friends are somewhat counterculture and hardcore, so naturally they're going to pick the less popular version: Pearl. Actually, I find that most people around my age group (the peeps I hang with) are like this. So by picking Diamond that would make me countercounterculture, but I'm conforming at the same time.

Oh, and Dialga looks neat.

edit: the Pearl legendary is a by far better than Dialga, btw. But who uses them outside of the single player? Yeah.

I got Pearl because pink.

why are you such a faggot dexter?




Posted by Dexter

7 sisters. Not enough male influence. This is how I've been programmed.

So you wouldn't mind/worry if I took Eggroll out for some shopping and ice cream, would you?

Quoting muffla: pearl > diamond


That's a dirty f[COLOR="black"]u[/COLOR]cking lie. But yeah, I got Pearl, because I was told to get it by Anthony, who I assumed would trade with me for little cost. Boy was I wrong.

I based my purchase decision on the types the legendaries on the front covers had. Diamond was Water/Dragon and pearl was Dragon/Steel so I went with Dragon/Steel since I thought that type combo would be better.

Dragon/Steel = Weak to Fighting, Ground.
Dragon/Water = Weak to only Dragon.

Also, you mixed it up. Pearl has Dragon/Water, Diamond has Dragon/Steel.

Overall I think I like the Diamond exclusives better though. :/

Soon as I get myself a new DS, I'm getting both. I've been out of the Pokemans loop for a while so I think it's time I give it another shot.

Why is steel weak to fighting? DOESN'T MAKE SENSE




Posted by Roger Smith

Cuz a good Mega Punch from Hitmonchan will dent steel I guess.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Maybe if you're a thin plate of steel, not a hulking monster. Steel should be week to water and electricity.




Posted by Zeta

Why is Water resistant to Ice? Shouldn't that **** get frozen?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

take an ice cube and run it under water. It melts.

Why are ghosts effected by anything? aren't they dead or something




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Aren't they only weak to other ghosts and dark types? Kinda makes sense.




Posted by cool gamer dad

Affected by all specials and some physical. I'm speaking in RuSa/FRLG terms.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh, I kinda skipped those games.




Posted by cool gamer dad

All others before it, too.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I don't remember Ghosts being weak to anything else pre-GBA...




Posted by GameMiestro

I got Pearl because it was all EB Games had.

Yeah, they're weak to only Dark and Ghost, but they can be affected by almost everything else.

Wait what



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh, I was only talking about weakness. I TOLD YOU




Posted by The Judge

All those little weaknesses can be explained:

Fighting is supposed to be so powerful it can break steel.

Water is a form of ice, and resists being frozen.

Mind over matter.

When two ghosts land hits on each other, the effects are hardcore.

The one I DON'T understand, however, are psychic and ghosts weaknesses to dark type. Aren't ghosts evil in their own right?

casper wasn't evil
