I'm pretty sure they never had a release date and just quietly released it in each region seperately probably to lessen the traffic caused by it. Either way I'm satisfied that it's out now.

Yes, this was the case.
I now need to spend sme time on White 2 obtaining the legendaries and all of the event legendaries as I never bothered to obtain them. I'm hoping they do some decent events for the games. I'm hoping for a Jirachi.
Does anyone think we'll see anything of the 3 Pokémon that got previewed? - Diancie, Volcanion and Hoopa.

Well, that's good to know then. I need to transfer some pokemon from White. That game was the closest I came. EVER! To completing the pokedex. -_-'

Seeing these characters really shows just how much the market and demographic for Pokémon has changed.

What the hell is up with all this extra-serious competitive battling?

With all this frantic search for full IV pokemon, Smogon rules (whatever the hell that is), and restrictive battling, it really takes all the fun out of the game.

Seriously, am I the only person left who just plays for fun?

Sadly you are in the minority regarding that.

I don't know, I feel like I'm the only guy who doesn't use any of the Legendary Ubers, so I'm pro having those rules if it means I can actually stand a chance against people who use Xerneas, Yvetal, and Mewtwo all the freaking time...

Legendaries were never that appealing to me. I mainly get them because of the pokedex data. I haven't even gotten Zygarde yet nor Zapdos. They're still wild in my game.

I play for fun generally. This is why i hate lack of post league events. I have however gotten more into battling thus game as its so easily accessable to me for first time. kinda like the smogon rules as it means people dont just spam certain pokes and moves and gives battling diversity. Much like tier lists in fighting games.

Tier lists make more sense in fighting games, because the characters are the same no matter what.

In a Pokémon game, a character's competitive value differs greatly from player to player. No two Pikachu or Charmander will ever be the same. As someone who trains multiples of the same pokemon, I can attest to that. Hell, I depend on it.

The only thing I don't care for are legendaries, because they can't be raised. However, I do very much enjoy battling Mega Mewtwo, as it well serves to test just how strong my pokemon are.

Just got a Shiny Porygon-Z from the global link!!!

For a level 1 cyndaquil.

Jammy!!!

I got Poketransfer last night. I will be transfering some pokemons tonight after work. :D

Transfer is awesome. I got all my legendaries and shinies brought voer from games as old as Leaf Green (via pearl/platinum/white).

I have also compelted the pokedex for the first time EVER. its only taken me 18 years.

I have a bunch of legendaries and managed to trade/tradeback a few others to complete it.

Shiny charm is mine also. YAY!

After months of everyone already knowing, Game Freak finally announces the pokemon Diancie.

Really?... I don't like it.
The bottom half reminds me too much of Carbink. =x

Yeah when I first seen it I thought it was similar to Carbink. I like it though.

I hope we all get access to it.

So I guess you haven't completed your pokedex completely now? :P


Btw, I transfered some pokemons from White to my X. I transfered my legendaries and some pokemons that I raised to level 100. Some even from back to Sapphire!!
Am I the only one that gets attached to the pokemons I have raised to level 100? I feel attached to them, because I raised them for so long. Those I cannot trade, not because they are at a high level, but because I work hard to raise them that much.

ha! I guess not actually. But I still have the crowns for all the 4 dexes (central, coastal, mountains kalos and nationals).

Previously i got 'attached' to them but this generation its so easy to level pokemon up quickly thanks to OPowers, Audino Safari and hordes that ive leveleled some up really quickly and just boxed them lol.

I tend not to transfer my main party between games, jsut incase I ever want to go back to them. I tend jsut to transfer thigns for the dex entries (legendaries, any exclusive etc).

Serebii & Bulbapedia have info about it in Coro Coro and new movie so yeah basically #DiancieConfirmed (note that i'm using the hashtag ironically).

FYI!

If anyone has the event pokemons(Darkrai, Shaymin, Keldeo, etc).. Do you mind trading with me and I will trade them back to you. I just need them for my pokedex entry.

I've been trying to get my brother a Darkrai for weeks, all to no avail.

I don't think anyone's giving up their Darkrai. I don't blame them, though. It's hard to get.

I know, I was about to get one, but my connection failed. I was so pissed! The person needed a Kyurem for it.

I have everything boxed in number order with the exception of a few Gen 6 pokemon that I am working on.

Caught Zygarde with a repeat ball.

Btw, they don't have any Poison type Legendary yet, do they?

None as yet
In other news, Diancie is a sudden transformation of Carbink so that explains the similarities. The distribution for it will be revealed soon.
