Nah, like everyone else said, probably just migrating. Hopefully they'll improve it a little though, like the limit of importing. I see no reason for that. And maybe they can just...you know, let you put them straight into your party instead of making you go through the trouble of catching them? It takes too much time to do it as it is, and then you can only do 6 a day per game. Plus, if you change the clock for DST or because you switched Time Zones, you have to wait a whole 24 hours before you can migrate again. They need to fix that. I really, really don't understand why they do that, because it makes migrating a hassle, when I don't think it should be. Seriously, can someone explain to me the reasoning behind that? Most of the time when Nintendo does something idiotic I can at least see why they would do it. This just seems like a pointless restriction to me.
Neither do I.
But yeah, if they could improve the migration process, I'd be happy.
I just thought of this though; what do you think will happen with PBR/Platinum communication? They can probably make them compatible, but what about forms? (Good idea, Spire, about not conforming.) My best guess would probably be that they automatically revert to the Diamond/Pearl form (Hallelujah!), but I'm curious what you guys think.
Like pokemon colluseum and emerald. The form will have a changed look (to the D/P version) but the stats will be equal to that of the version you have.
Also, I'm inclined to believe that Regigigas having an alternate form is debunked. Serebii's Thursday update was about the Regis, and they showed Regigigas (it's back sprite, anyways). It didn't look any different to me, so unless you can change it like Deoxys (which, speaking of, I picked up today), it's pretty much debunked.
Possibly. It doesnt really debunk it as maybe there's a certain thing you have to do to transform it (like the meteors in vielstone) and maybe this one isn't transformed
Another thing I just thought of, I wonder if the ground form sprite for Shaymin will still be in Platinum, so you could theoretically hack into the game and change its sprite. I probably wouldn't waste my time, I'll just move it over to my Diamond Version, but I'm a bit curious.
It likely will, I don't think nintendo would make it have only 1 forme available. Then again it could be like deoxys.
