As POKEMON DIAMOND AND PEARL are only 4 days away from shop release for those Japanese Game Nerds, and only 6 months away from being sold to you bunch of petty Gameboy Nerds that still dress in Pikachu and Bulbasaur shirts and pyjamas, several parts of an interview with Ken Sugimori and an unnamed female official have been highlighted.
Lucario has been confirmed by Gamefreak officials that it will not be ledgendary. It has been suggested that it will be part of a 3 evolution line, making itself the middle one. This is part of an interview that was involving Ken Sugimori and an unnamed Female official.
The interview also referred to the final numbers for the National Dex, a quote from an unknown female official, "to exceed beyond 550". Ken Sugimori also said, "Pokemon from previous generations will be welcomed by old and new players of the two new games as many will have introduced alternative evolutions." However, it isnot clear whether baby presentation will be finally bashed out of the spotlight and just be referred to as Basic Stage. This theory can be heavily supportedby the fact that baby Pokemon from previous generations can now be caught in the wild, WELL THAT IS INTERESTING.
