Couple of Actual Gameplay PBR Videos.

Pretty cool. I can imagine single player getting infuriating after a while, especially with the announcer repeating the same things over and over again.

Looks like it'll be awesome amounts of fun online though, and the battling is a massive step up - even if it's so easily improved.

The announcer probably indicates that there's no chance of this title ever reaching European shores before 2008 though.
 
I like the new models for Pokemon, and Yukimenoko looks cool.

Seismic. Toss. Made. Me. Orgasm.
This games is amazing.

WTF was Erureido's 20 PP psychic move? Was that Psycho Cutter? Because OMFZ.

Yeah, that's what it was. Its pretty cool though, IGN's suppose to have movies too, but I don't know how good they'd be..
 
I think it was Psycho Cutter. Which makes me glad that I planned it far in advance for my future Crecelia.

And the way Seismic Toss looks is a lot better than previous incarnations...
 
The game really looks spectacular. The music is pretty cool too, it has me eager to hear the Diamond/Pearl battle theme remixes. Assuming they are in the game.
 
Okay, well, I am happy that it is more stadium like with what battles and stuff. However, the attacks still are rather colosseumly. As in, not powerful looking, they look like flashy lights and things. You know? Stadium 2, perhaps because of the blockiness made it feel as if it wasn't just pasted on. Here it does? Am I the only one who notices stuff like that? Ah well.

Good game anyway.

Also, awesome things. Announcer, giant Bippa plush in the first vid, smoother models.

Lets just hope some are upgraded. Psyduck and venonat in 3d were still disproposianate in Colo.

Still they didn't add back the animation of exiting the ball with a cry. They just appear and the sound plays.

I can now understand why the pre-release information was so limited - the game itself has little else to offer than what you can see in these videos. It has been out for more than three days, yet the only piece of new content revealed is that a lv. 10 Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle is the prize for clearing all 10 Colosseums.

I do believe that this is the first time in history that the first footage of a Pokémon game (the demonstration shown in June) is so misleading in regard to the actual product. The final product usually shapes out to be more impressive as should be the case.

It could be that an earlier design of the game was not focused on Diamond and Pearl at all, but rather the GBA games. The consequences of the change of heart can be observed by comparing the first video to any of these.

I think you mean you just wished it to be focused on the GBA games. I'm sure you can earn outfits to make yourself look like earlier protagonists, if that's what you mean.
 
One thing that interests me is that their are Leaders of Each Colloseum, reportedly dressed as Pokemon (the ones I've heard so far were pre-release ones).

Their is the Lucario Guy, the Pachirisu Girl, and apparently an Elekible and Roserade people.

He's not a prerelease, but Toridepsu seems likely due to him having an arena based off of him.

And please, please be a Korobooshi or Masukippa person!

Errr....it showed Pokemon battling each other, and making contact.

Which, is like what you do in the game.

Also, apaprently you can make you own dialouge from scratch...

[quote="Yamato-san on SPPF]are you able to create your own dialogue for the trainers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxJn1OgaybA

In this video, I swear the girl's saying

"Reipu sarete mo. Nakanai!" (You can rape me. I won't cry!)


at the beginning of the battle, something I'm pretty sure Nintendo/related parties wouldn't insert into a game like this. Thus, I'm lead to assume you can create your own dialogue from scratch, as opposed to selecting pre-made dialogue, dialogue matched to the character models, and/or that word-combining feature from Ruby/Sapphire.[/quote]

Which another person confirmed you could for

[quote="Rauses on SPPF]1. Entering battle
2. Sending out 1st pokemon
3. Retreating pokemon
4. Sending out pokemon
5. Win
6. Loss[/quote]

Hell yeah, gonna have some fun with that!

There hasn't been any report of that, and that is the very minimum of what I mean.

The first video was more aesthetically gratifying. I would normally overlook the graphics department as I have in the past, but the game focuses on battles and their presentation, even more so than the Stadium series. As much as the game has taken a leap from its predecessors, it is simply not good enough when factoring in the inevitable fact - that it is entirely comprised of the battle environment. Suddenly the faults of the N64 and GameCube games become ever so relevant.

I dare say that Genius Sonority would not have left the game only halfway through its potential, had they decided to stick to the third generation for the Wii's launch. Stadium, Stadium GS and Colosseum were all released more than a year after the main games of their generation - I fail to see how Diamond and Pearl demanded an earlier release of a compatible 3D game.

Couldn´t agree more.

The first "promo" video seemed to be pre-rendered after all. Even if not, the graphic was very different from the actual game.

I was hoping for a decent looking Pokemon console game, but instead, they re-use the old models AGAIN and just add more lightsources and shadows on the models...yeah, great.

The attacks themself look nice and the touching attacks look good enough ( the first video was still better).

Gameplay wise..well, it is a stadium-like game. I don´t know if it can offer enough for me to be interested. the "do-it-yourself-trainer" and "make your own entry"-options are neat though.

Are you freakin' serious??? Awesome!!! Pika's my fav Pokemon, and I've always wanted one with surf, not to mention Volt Tackle as well (since normally you can't get Volt Tackle and Surf on the same Pikachu).

Anyways, I think the game looks very cool, DEFINITELY better than Colosseum. I'm so glad it's back to the Stadium style (gotta love the announcer! ^.^) And the actual battle arenas look awesome.

Sure, the original promo video shown in June did make it look better (what ever happened to the Pokemon making more realistic cries as opposed to their regular digital gameboy ones?)

But hey, I must say I'm still incredibly pleased with this game, much MUCH more so than with Colosseum.

And oooh... you can make your own dialouge from scratch?? Sweet...

It's a Pokémon game appearing in the short period between the Wii release and Christmas. The reasoning behind that isn't that hard to grasp. It's the same reason Twilight Princess became a launch title.

And there is no way they would have released a Gen III game after the release of D/P.
 
Are you sure you can't use a GC or Classic Controller? Some games let you choose.
