European gamers unite

[FabuVinny]

After a long wait, tomorrow is the European release date for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It's 10 months since they were released in Japan; the same gap for Ruby and Sapphire was only 7 months. You can celebrate here.

I've already got my copy since I preordered it online and GAME sent it early. :-D So four years to the day of my starting Ruby one day after release, I have started Diamond one day before release. Oddly enough, my dad preordered Pearl in the same order and that hasn't arrived yet.

Right now, I'm loving the tunes of Routes 201 and 207. Hearing them after so long with the anime adaptations was a nice surprise. Some of the formula tweaks, such as the new emphasis on seeing Pokémon, are also helping to keep me continuing.

Now for a fact that some may want to note: I have just successfully transferred the Manaphy egg from my US copy of Ranger to my European copy of Diamond. So that is possible.

I want to get a German Diamond or Pearl, but I have no money left for it currently. I'll be fine with my two Japanese games games and my US Diamond for a while though. I've entered some sweepstakes for the German games, maybe I'm lucky and win one.

I'm so excited for you guys!!! It's SO crazy unfair that Europe and Australia get shafted when it comes to Pokemon...

At least you have socialized medicine?

Have fun!!!

Yay, Foreign dex entries!

Im glad its FINALLY out, but im not getting it yet.

Im waiting for DS Prices to drop (Original Fat DS's are still £70 on Amazon) and for the Game prices to drop.

The DS is better and cheaper than anything else on the market atm *cough*PSP*cough*

I have my copy of Pearl since last Thursday. I am so happy ^^
D/P was worth the waiting for sure. I am suprised that WiFi trading works so well. Even the GTS is very handy when you actually ask for something reasonable. Just searching seems to be pretty useless due to unrealistic offers.

So far, I am enjoying it. I have 3 badges at the moment. woot! ^^

I may not be a European trainer, but I am willing to give some European trainers some pokemon since most of yall are just starting off or aren't very far into the game.
I want nothing in return for these, but if you do have a PP up, i would give the higher level ones for those, but I'm still willing to give them away.
Heres what I can give:
-lvl 1 Charmanders or Eggs
-lvl 1 Eevee(only a few of those)
-lvl 1 Tutwigs
Pokemon I will give, but I only have 1 of:
-lvl 20 Omanyte
-lvl 51 Charizard that I don't need anymore
-lvl 53 Beldum
-lvl 52 Scyther, with or without Metal Coat upon request
-lvl 60 Empoleon that I don't need either
-lvl 1 Phione
