Snag Manaphy At Toys R Us Saturday

Those of you who follow Pokemon fanatically know what a bitch it is to get your hands on a Manaphy, the legendary water Pokemon who can only be found via an egg transferred from Pokemon Ranger. Well kotakuite Agies has informed us that this Saturday from 12-3PM, Toys R Us stores around the country are offering the rare critter via in-store download, along with $5 off any DS game you buy when you stop by to continue your catching of them all. Otherwise you either have to trade or suffer through Pokemon Ranger, which is considered in some countries an advanced form of torture.

Pokemon Global Trading Station Launches Today

Pokemon fans around the world rejoice! At 5PM Central European Time today, Nintendo is launching the Global Trading Station website, allowing you to stay up to date on the latest Pokemon trading trends across the globe. The site will feature a bevy of stats on Pokemon trading, including most traded, most wanted, and most deposited, and they will be able to bookmark any Pokemon they discover via the site for when they use the GTS in game. The site will also feature a spinnable globe that will let players check out trades around the world while learning facts about the various countries, such as capital cities, population, native language, etc. See? Pokemon isn't just about a deep-seated love for Mudkips - it's about learning as well. Should be online later today, so bookmark the link below.

Latest by TStodden: It's a nice start, at least you can see what's available on the GTS for a particular pokÃ©mon... but it DOESN'T TELL YOU what the users are demanding for said pokÃ©mon. I do like to know that there's some trainers more »

Frankenreview: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

Remember the good old days when gaming was cheap and simple primary colors like red and blue made us happy? But being the vigilant consumers that we are, before we knew it, we'd upped the ante to gold and silver and ruby and sapphire. Now what to we get? Diamonds. Freakin' diamonds. Buying a light RPG has become the cultural equivalent to getting engaged. At least this means the Pok mon arms race may finally come to an end. more »

Week in Games: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Edition

While the rest of the world is freaking out over Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, I'll be sitting in my living room trying to plow through the long list of games I need to finish. While I'm doing that, you can pass some time by looking at the highlights of this week's new releases. Flynn De Marco more »

Children Slavishly Anticipating New Pokemon Games

Them kids are just about ready to KILL for a new Pokemon game: Nintendo are claiming over 533,000 preorders for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. And that's just in the US. For reference, LeafGreen and FireRed went on to sell nearly 3.5 million copies, and they had less than half that many preorders (can't say exactly how many, Nintendo didn't quote the figures, so add just a pinch of salt to that one). So it's safe to assume these are going to sell...more? Probably! more »

The Pokemon Stylus

Nintendo just sent me this big fold-out fact sheet for Pokemon Diamond and Peal. It's mostly stuff we already know, like that it will let you use WiFi to battle, voice chat with friends via VoIP and feature new 3D environments. The one thing I hadn't seen before were pictures of the free stylus you receive if you order either game. Kinda dorky, but if you're a fan of the franchise I'm sure this will make you faint.

Clips: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Voice Chat

You know, that Pokemon Diamond WiFi chat system seems to work pretty well. Of course, you know it's going to take absolutely no time for the air of camaraderie to devolve into hysterical "FUCK YOU!"/"NO, FUCK YOU AND YOUR PIKACHU!" screaming matches between ten year olds half a world away.
