The time of year is upon us...school is coming back to haunt us, and the summer streak of horrid games is coming to an end. One set of games that will be breaking the bad streak in a couple months is the Diamond/Pearl sets. On the official Japanese site, there is a small game that, when you talk to a person, pretty much confirms that the new starting triangle will be fighting/dark, psychic. Recently, 3 pokemon have been popping up on the internet like crazy, sprouting out from the other fakes we've been enduring.



These are the most believing as of late and are the most likely to be the new starters at this point.

Triceratops=Psychic

Kangaroo=Fighting(My personal favorite of the group)

cat with a beak(griffin evo later?)=Dark

Any discussion on these( picking your favorite or talking about the game) is welcomed.

At least it'll be better than that ancient pirated Diamond game.

I enjoyed the Pokemon games when they were limited to just Red, Blue/Green, and Yellow when they first came out. Gold and Silver were also okay. But I personally think they're going overboard with it, and I can no longer care for the series. =/

But, the triceratops one looks pretty interesting. What is that orb on its horn, a light bulb?

Dunno, something like Mareep-Altalia...just for Psychic decoration, I suppose. The pokemon artists have been really getting into sticking these orbs all around pokemon bodies, so I wouldn't put it past anything but decoration. But for story purpose, I would suppose it's used to focus it's Psychic attacks, or something simple so 5 year olds could understand it.

I heard rumors of it being online. Any truth to that?

About the Starters:

Sorry! They're fake. The person who made the picture said so.

About the Online-ness:

Yes, the game WILL have Wi-Fi. =D

That monkey's butt is on FIRE!

"Summer streak of horrid games..."?

I actually like some of the ideas they came up with. The baby Sudowoodo and that one turtle with the plant on his head look neat.

I'm kinda waiting to see what they turn into... there were some in earlier games that I really liked the baby and then disliked the higher up.

Ehh, this seriees has sucked since they released Crystal; Depending, on reviews, i'll think about it. On a lighter note, Firered and Leafgreen were good remakes.

Well, as of now, most people are speculating TWO type triangles this go around, which will include the dark/psy/fighting mentioned earlier. How most people assume is that....

Penguin=Water/Fighting
Turtle=Grass/psychic(evolving into a wise tortoise...?)
Monkey=Fire/Dark

Penguin FTW

I miss the old starters. *pets Charizard, Typhlosion and Blaziken* Especially the fire ones. They rocked.

However, I think I might try it out.

The ones on the covers look nice. I wanna know more.

I think it would be neat if they did try Fighting, Psychic, and Dark starters. Or something else with an elemental triangle rather than Fire, Grass, and Water.

If what I posted is true, I'd be more excited about having TWO type triangles on three pokemon, another element of startegy....also, forgot to bring this up...you will have TWO rivals, so, at least one of them will be weak against you, which is another reason to add the 2nd triangle....woo.


(POST NUMBAH 1000! w00t.)

the ones on the cover are Diaruga, the Time Ruling Pokémon (the blue one) and Parukia, the Space Ruling Pokémon (white/pink) and that´s all the info known right now

i read somewhere that you got a figurine if you Pre-ordered one of the games in Japan, you got th one on the cover, and if you bought 2(i would prefer both, who wants two of the same?) You got 3, the ones on the cover, and a secret, maybe the Rayqueza (Groudon and Kyogre 3rd) of the 4th generation or something like Mew and Selebi. time will tell

and about the Second triange, i believe the Regi´s had something like that, Ice-Rock-Steel-Ice, so maybe they are going to put in 3 Semi-legendary pokemon, with a Type triangle, maybe Fight, Phycic and Dark.

Nope..that wouldn't work...>.O I firmly believe in the starters getting a second type...the p/d/f triangle because you will have two weaknesses so you wouldn't have to worry about Dark being IMMUNE to psychic. With the three semi-legendaries, they would more than likely make them a PURE element(or add something like normal/ or flying/) making the Dark immune. So I'm gonna have to stick with starters. Good theory, though, Ray....*Goes to preorder Diamond and Pearl after hearing about the figures*

The Legendaries this go-round look hardcore. Like awesome space and time dragons.

Speaking of Daruiga and Paruika, have thier English names been confirmed yet?

Can't wait 'till they relaease the whole line of new pokemon,and as for the online play I can just hear the pokemon trash talk now.

The English names for Daruiga and Paruika are apparently Dialga and Palkia, respectively.

That makes me sad... I usually stick to the fire type, but it's a monkey...............I don't care for monkey's... This is the first Pokemon game I won't have my starter be the strongest one..... I agree with Morphman, I like my Charizard, Typhlosion and Blaziken too... Oh well, I like the features I've heard of, I guess I'll just train a wild Pokemon I like.

Ugly! >_<

Its not ugly.AAAgghh I want to slap you silly, but I must remember I'm more nice and cheerfull. I'll leave the others to chew you out .

The monkey with his butt on fire isn't ugly, he's COMICAL.

I'd like to see you come up with a non-ugly semi-original set of three starter Pokemon.

The monkey should have a special attack called "flaming feces throw".

And its super-effective around schoolchildren and teachers with cameras!

You like the Pokemons? >_<

Ok ok, i really like Pokemon, too, but this Pokemons really looks like Digimons..

Pokémon is like Digimon?

God, where have I heard THAT before?


I think the double type idea for the starters would'nt be a bad one. Then we'd have something like Fire/Dark, Water/Psychic and Grass/Fighting starters.

Can you imagine starting off with a purple-glowing psychic salmon, or a boxing venus flycatcher plant?

The original three starters were great. Heck, I loved the starters in Gold/Silver, but they've been getting worse and worse as games came out...

Anyway, these three starters are ugly, but I haven't seen any other pkmn from those games (I really hope you can get pokemons from any game in this one. That would be great for old and new fans alike) so I'll keep my mouth shut until I play the game.
