Just haven't gotten my Jirachi yet because of limited funds, but that should be changing real soon.
I've noticed we always end up in the same topics being the only people interrested in a game, heh.

I got ruby for free a few months back i still havent started it
eventually i will and put jirachi onto it from my nice pokemon demo disc thingy
Cool, John. Are you interested in the Colosseum, too?
And how'd you get it for free? Or is that a GameStop secret? ;)
Well, the manager at my local GS wouldn't budge until I put a pre-order (which I can't since I'm broke), so no Jirachi for me. I will pre-order before it gets here but I wanted to go through Ruby with him now. Dammit!
I haven't touched a single Pokemon game since... Hell, 5th grade for me. Red/Blue and my import Green I got from some nerd down the street for a few bucks.
I'm almost, almost interested.
Almost.
... Yeah, I'll buy it if my GC stays here long enough for this to hit sale racks.
You can always preorder, and then cancel it the next day or so.Quote:

I found out a bit more. The RPG is the main part of the game, and it's about 30 hours worth of playtime (WOO-HOO! :D ). It plays just like the Game Boy Pokemons, i.e. traveling from town to town fighting trainers and raising Pokemon. There are some significant differences, though. For one, Orre (the name of this new region) is a god-foresaken wasteland. Pokemon cannot be caught in the wild, because there is no "wild." Just miles and miles of wasteland. So, the people in this area coped by developing machines that steal the Pokemon of other trainers. This device is called a "snagger," and this is where the story begins. There is an evil organization who is trying to assemble "Shadow Pokemon." These Pokemon are just like the normal, garden variety, except that they have no hearts. The reason this organization wants them is because they are rediculously vicious fighting machines. The main character, Wes, is a member of this organization, buts wants to leave for one reason or another, and he steals a snagger in the process. And so the adventure begins.
The training aspect is also a bit different. Since most of the Pokemon you will be catching are Shadow Pokemon, you need to purify them of their shadow status, and you do this by sticking them in battle after battle until thier shadow meter is reduced to zero, and they finally begin to obey you. Each Shadow Pokemon can only do a single attack, Shadow Tackle, but the more and more they begin to like you, and as a result regain their heart, the more moves they "remember" from their former, pre-shadow lives.
There were many complaints about how this game does nothing to change the classic Pokemon formula from the guys at GI, but I say screw them! We've been clammouring for a console Pokemon, and I'm glad we've finally got one. It doesn't need to change anything. It's freaking Pokemon! It is beautiful in it's simplicity.
This all comes from reports in both Game Informer, as well as Nintendo Power.
Now I am super excited.
Thanks Capt.!
Well if this is true, I'm in. I've been wanting a console Pokémon game for a while now, and since I enjoyed Ruby so much, this looks like it'd be a blast to play.
