BETA Diamond/Pearl

Recently, I noticed the amount of Beta information and data we've seen already in D/P. Most notably are the items, like the Red Chain and others.


However, what I find the most intriging is the "mystery text". The authenticity of this can be disputed, and I originally saw it in Wikipedia, but here goes:

"Lugia, SASSY Nature, Lvl. 70, Met in Johto"

Does this also hint at a Johto Remake? Who knows. All I know is that I'll be researching this stuff tonight online to find more, and post it.

Darrill.


EDIT: While looking at the Discovery thread, I saw more Beta items, and some info on the infamous "??? Arseus type.

3) There are have speculations on how Arseus's unknown variant was unlocked. Well, I've tried making it hold various either items, and none seem to trigger that form. I tried using moves that tamper with its ability (e.g. Skill Swap, Digestive Juice) during battles, and apparently, none of these moves can affect Arseus.

Strange, huh? Now look at Coronis's item descriptions:

6) Explanation on some of the unobtainable key items:

a) Red Chain - this is the item Team Galaxy created from the Legendary trio by chaining up their jewels. It lifts the seal on Dialga/Palkia on Tengan Mountain, and thus allows the boss of Team Galaxy to awaken those creatures. It is an in-game item alright, just not accessible to the player, like the Red and Blue Orbs in Emerald.

b) Volcanic Rock - when you do the Hard Mountain quest, the red haired girl Bagu snatches this item from the Hard Mountain, believing that by obtaining such a rare item in such a perilous area, she has proven herself to be strongest trainer in the world. Unfortunately, this act awakens Hiidoran. Again, another in-game item that the player isn't supposed to get.

c) Treasure Sack - this is actually an automatic function when you go underground. Guess this item was initially planned to hold the treasures, but Gamefreak changed their plans and simply made it an automatic option in the underground world.

d) Contest Pass - for some reason you don't need the Contest Pass to attend the super contests (actually, I don't think you need this either in Emerald), so this is likely another redundant key item.

e) Sticker Sack - actually a duplicate of the Sticker Box, possibly another redundant item.

f) Boat Ticket - this is probably the only inexplicatble item since it is described to be a ticket for S.S. Anne. Not sure on this one since S.S. Anne has not been referenced at all in D/P as far as I can recall.

Thanks to Coronis.


And those 2 maids... seem fishy to me.

That's not my case, though. It seems odd, and it could happen, but what if it doesn't? Was Johto supposed to be in DP after all?

That would be really cool if they did that, and if it was on the DS!

I think they aren't going to make any more GBA pokemon game. Red rescue team was the last probably. So we can be sure it will be on DS.

Also isn't DP a bit remake of GS itself as we have the day/night feature back and isn't DP's setting (time) the same as GSC?

the ???-type has not been confirmed at all.
The last form that people are calling the ???-type has been confirmed though.
when game sprites were "ripped" from the game there were 36 sprites for aruseus....
18 non-shiny and 18 shiny forms.
17 game types...... so 1 for each type... plus an extra set that noone has been able to get except by highly hacking the game to where it crashes.

You know, to possibly add on to the speculation of their being soemthing of a Johto GS GBa game and the Pokemon Company's hideden tests, I'd liek to state something that may be intresting to future devolopments in the pokemon series.

A friend of mine, who is jsut as crazy as Pokemon as I am, has been doing a bit of work on self made remakes of the game (otherwise known as hacks, using the backed-up data from GBA carts known as roms). what he's found, and has told me, is that in Ruby and Saphire the visible Night/ Day function is present Like in Gold, Silver, Crystal, Diamond, and Pearl. Using this we can state that The P.C may have put data in the games for something that is to come, like leaving all Generation 1 and 2 pokemon in these GBA games for the realieased of Pokemon staduim and Fire red/ LEafe green.

Again, just a speculation that might be itnresting (as much as it might be a distraction). Eemrald isn't part of the lsit of roms since their hasn't been a "Stabl" back-up made yet.

That makes sense, it does. I beleive my statement is now Null & void.

Thank you for clearing that up :p

If only Johto could come back... It was my favorite generation probably because it was so long. I don't have D/P but there has to be a third game. It would Be SO AWESOME if the third game had eveything from Kanto to shinou...

If it had everything from Kanto to Shinou than we would be having a game that has tons of file space. :D But that would be cool. :)
