First Scan of Diamond/Pearl

[skarmachild]

Lock if old
Pokemon Diamond

Pokemon Pearl

Released Autumn 2006 in Japan.

Overworld Shots

Battle Shots

Girl + Short Skirt = Jailbait ftw

Munchlax, Manyula + Manafi Sugimori Art

Apart from the grass being waaay too flourescent, the whole thing looks very nice and the city has significantly more detail than past itterations. Battle scenes don't look much different but I'm glad there not 3D, otherwise battles would take over 5 minutes per trainer.

Also, the new Pokémon are kick ***, and I love the watercolour look to them. It's Diamond for me, since the logo is like.. blue not pink.

Discuss.

[Serebii]

Already posted on the site

However, this isnt exactly the jump people wanted :s

 

[Serebii]

Yeah, a good blend of 2D & 3D, like Phantom Hourglass

 

[~Water Lucario~]

I am very happy with the game and I cannot wait for this!
The graphics look alittle to much like Emerald though the people look good and I am very Happy.

 

[Firemouse]

the overworld is exactly what I had hoped for. same perspective as before, but 3D. beautiful.

 

[Peeko]

You're right there, I was expected a huge change in direction...

saying that I'm not disappointed. There's still time to improve and it doesn't look bad. This is turning out to be one great day. SSBB and Pokemon D/P, more than I could have hoped for.

Its good to see it is in keeping with the current styles-the cartoon elements of Pokemon. So more an upgrade of the GBA graphics then anything too new and drastic- I like the current style. Good

this is what I've been hoping for. not completely 3D, but a blend between 2D and 3D. I can't so many changes in the battle scene yet, although the background is better. it is strange, and don't ask me why, but the overworld (houses and stuff like that) reminded me a bit of Golden Sun for the GBA.

anyway, I'm loving it.

 

[Kalavinka]

Checked the main site, the picture kinda looks FR/LG style...

This looks like a fine start, even if it is a bit jagged. I'm fancying the open feeling the battle scene lends; I always felt the one in the GBA games was far too cramped. And, being the rabid Manyula fan I am, I'm quite joyed that they chose to feature him above the others. The trainers are looking quite nice as well, even if we don't see much of them. I'm still a trifle irked about the blockiness of the overworld, but I feel confident that that's just a limitation of the DS or simply the current state of the overworld artists' work.

Keep up the good work, Gamefreak.
