Talk:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Okay, I am the main contributor to this artcicle, what's the problem? 0-172 14:23, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

As more infromation comes out I will be creating individual pages for each Pokemon. And creating more pages and the walkthrough. 0-172 19:54, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

Thanks for the contribs, Lunar Knight. I've now done quite a bit, too. I look forward to working together with you ^_^ Myth 23:44, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Pokédex
I have scrapped my old idea. I am now in the process of adding sprite images of each of the Pokemon to the table. Once I am finished with that I will totally reorganize that table, and put in order of Pokedex #. I have great ambitions for this article. 0-172 17:59, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Bear in mind our partnership with Bulbapedia; rather than duplicate work, you could just link to their Pokémon articles. --DrBob (Talk) 13:18, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I will link them to Bulbapedia's articles, but I want to provide sprites on the table as well, so that you can get the general info on the Pokemon and the sprites on the table, and I will link the names to Bulbapedia for those who require more information. 0-172 18:22, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

Picture
There's a new picture in English on Wikipedia, I'll get it soon if no one else does, i'm trying to get a game done today!--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:25, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl contributions?
This is a request to anyone who owns Pokemon Diamond or Pearl. I'd like someone to look over my contributions to the berry list, Pokeball list, Pokemon Mansion, and Eterna Forest. It would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Myth 10:44, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Pokémon list
Is there a way that we can have a list of where to see every Pokémon in the game,. I think it'd be very helpful.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 02:34, 6 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I agree that it would be very helpful, as virtually no one has a list like that. I'll try and contribute to one if I have the time. Myth 15:06, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Incorrect info on a Pokétch app for D/P?
I noticed that the Coin Flip Pokétch app info says that the Magikarp is the heads side and the Pokéball is the tails side. I always thought it was vice-versa. Am I wrong? Myth 16:46, 13 June 2007 (CDT) P.S.(I know this is a technical and seemingly pointless question, but I just want to have correct info)


 * I wanted to back up my idea with this theory. Isn't the animal on a real quarter on the tails side? And isn't the thing that can capture the eagle (if you want to think of it like that) on the heads side? If that's true, then the eagle (Magikarp) is tails, and the capturer (Pokéball) is the heads side. Myth 23:54, 13 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Typically the non-person side is the tails side, but this coin doesn't have a person. Another way to look at it is that Magikarp (being a creature) is comparable to the head, while the Poké Ball (being an object) is comparable to the tail. If it doesn't actually say in the game ("oh! It's tails!") or manual or whatever I guess there is no "official" way. GarrettTalk 23:59, 13 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Garrett is correct. The Magikarp (living object) is heads, and the Poké Ball (inanimate object) is tails.  Procyon (Talk) 00:05, 14 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Even though this is settled, from a purely analytical point of view, I would say Magikarp would be tails because it's a fish. With a tail.  Lol.  --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 00:17, 14 June 2007 (CDT)


 * (nice, Notmyhandle ^_^) Nothing says either way is correct, so I don't think anyone knows. Myth 15:15, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Re-challenging Gym Leaders in D/P?
In Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald you could see who you could re-challenge w/ Match Call. But in D/P, you can only re-challenge trainers with the Key Item gadget, which can't be used in buildings. Does anyone know if you can re-challenge Gym Leaders or not in D/P? Myth 15:18, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Is this only in emerald, I've been playing for... too long in my ruby and there's nothing.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 15:45, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, duh. It is only in Emerald. I'd completely forgotten. That will probably answer a bunch of people's questions. Myth 16:31, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * But my question still hasn't been answered. Myth 18:34, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Competitive Battling Info?
Why doesn't StrategyWiki have any competitive battling info, like IVs, EVs, etcetera? Seems ever since Meowth346 left the competitive community, there's been a lack of information on the subject. --Tathar 14:03, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * We've got a guide at Pokémon/Competitive battling, although it's not linked to by much and was originally written before DP even existed. GarrettTalk 18:03, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I've now added links to it (and the similarly universal Pokémon/Breeding) from all the games, so hopefully more people can find it now. GarrettTalk 18:27, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
