NINTENDO IS TRYING TO SIPHON MY MONEY
Not getting this unless it has a good story.
Want Battle Frontier, but don't want to transfer all 493 of my Pokemon.
One new form really doesn't excite me at all. I might play it if there are enough cool tweaks, but I don't think I'll be transferring my collection over there or anything.
It was confirmed like a week ago in corocoro.
I'll probably end up buying it, seeing as I'm pretty hooked on Pokemon again right now. I just hope there are enough tweaks to justify it. Hooked in Gen 1 (who wasn't?), in ****ing LOVE with Gen 2, didn't care much during Gen 3, but Gen 4's stepped it back up a bit for me. That said, even though Gen 2 was my favorite, I haven't played a "third" game since Yellow. I skipped Crystal and Emerald.
Oh, and Lucas looks like even more of a dork than he did before. I'll probably just pick Dawn again. Wonder what her new outfit looks like... Not as retarded as Lucas', I hope.
in b4 you get to catch Darkrai but have to look around for Dialga and Palkia.
But I'm probably gonna skip out on this one since I got bored with Diamond after beating the Elite Four and transfer my pokemon from Fire Red and Emerald. Pokemon's been dead to me for awhile now. :(

The story important Pokemon is Giratina.
And actually today Toys R Us is giving away the event item to access Darkrai. SHould go if you've got nothing better to do.
One new feature is new Underground Wi Fi. Because of that I will be getting it.
Why haven't they used the idea of revisiting continents since G/S I have no idea.
BUT IF THEY SURPRISE WITH THAT IN PLATINUM IT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL

Probably because they run out of storage space because they put way too many ****ing Pokemon in the game.
or because they like having people buy separate games
I never said backpedal to all of them, just one more would be nice. Not having that in subsequent games was a huge letdown after G/S/C.

Don't hold your breath.
**** sucks. I found out about the Manaphy things at Toys R Us just by chance, but didn't know about the Darkrai one until two days after it was over.
Anyways, I'll still be holding my breath because I'm holding out for a legit one. Don't care enough about collecting pokemon to want them all, anyways. Having a legit Darkrai would be kinda cool though.
How about a legit arceus? when does the info on getting that come out :p
The other day I was wondering if pretty soon someone will complete the first 100% legit collection. As far as I know, the first opportunity to get a legit Mew on D/P/P will be with Everyone's Pokemon Ranch... and if Arceus has already been given out in Japan, then wouldn't that be the last one to collect?
Arceus hasn't been officially announced by Nintendo at all yet.
I'm expecting Movie 12, MAYBE Movie 13, to revolve around him, though.
Edit: New Platinum info from Serebii.
* Shaymin will automatically convert to Sky Forme when sent over to Platinum and will stay Land Forme on Diamond & Pearl
* The Torn World, positioned above the Spear Pillar, really utilizes the 3D engine of the game and has the lands in a 3D isometric view
* There are various other new areas positioned in Sinnoh for you to explore
* The new characters are apparently there to determine the cause of the recent climate change, which has made Sinnoh colder, which explains the ultra warm clothes of the protagonists
FOUR NEW FORMS?!
I'm buying it on launch day.

Several new areas. The "climate change" has me curious, too. You can see snow on the ground here and there in certain screenshots in towns that didn't have any.
Torn World looks ****ing trippy.
