I know there's pokemon fans out there So the fact that there's soon going to be a new Poke-fest being released on Nintendo DS must have some people excited! W00t!

However, the particular point in making such a thread now is because of this newly released information i've come across concerning how Pokemon Diamond & Pearl takes advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection! What? NO WAI! Yea....

Revo-Europe.com Wrote:New details have emerged regarding the forthcoming Pokemon titles for the Nintendo DS. It turns out that the online aspect will be divided into two 'sections': The Public and the Private section.

Private section is basically you and friend codes. Battle and trade against people you know and have exchanged codes with. Fairly simple, and to be honest, we were expecting this anyway.

However, the public aspect is very, very interesting. This system will not require you to exchange friend codes. There are two systems which feature predominantly in the public aspect: the Trading System and the Battle Tower.

The trading system will allow you to search for a specific pokemon, and it will result in a list of all possible trainers who would be willing to trade you this pokemon...for the right offer, of course. You can make an offer, and the trainer will either accept the offer or decline it. If the trainer isn't online at the moment you make this offer, he or she will be notified about this possible trade the next time they come online. Pretty neat stuff.

The Battle Tower gives you the chance to upload your elite team of Pokemon to a server. You have the ability to download other people's teams of pokemon, ready for battle. However, the downside is that they will be computer controlled, rather than human controlled. Also, you will only be able to download teams that are around your level. Still, a nifty option.

The online features of this title are starting to fit together nicely. The public and private system, the already confirmed private VoIP and the fact that Pokemon is a killer franchise could soon see this game flying off the shelves!

We'll bring you more on this this as soon as we get it.

So you can battle privately using Friend Codes, OR you can fight anyone who plays pokemon with NWC, and they don't even have to be online to do it! AWESOME! Now i can defeat people while i'm asleep too The little trading post thing they've got going on too sounds pretty neato

I will catch 'em all!

I couldnt be bothered to read all of that but ZOMGz new pokemon! I want it now! More ways to kill pikachu...

:O Pikachu, I Choose You! Thunderbolt that ebil Anti Hacker

Pokemon is for people of all ages! Get wif teh Pokemon!

It's new Pokémon in the original style, it's online...

It will be great!

Now my poke`mon can rule the the online and offline world hahaha. I can wait battle you all online.

Could at last Pokemon be coming of age? The scope for what can really be done with this gaming franchise hopefully will exceed all expectations on the Wii, but for now still hyped for the new DS incarnations, have been for months. Pokemon - Gotta buy 'em all. Lolas.

The new Physical/Special system is pretty intriguing as well, should completely change the game.
