Famitsu reports it sold basically a million in 2 days. That's crazy isn't it.

Anyway, is it worth playing again? It looks like the reviews were positive with all 9s on Famitsu also stating that it feels like a different game and worth playing again.

I'm not sure if I will, but this is basically Diamond and Pearl, right? Anyway, just wondering what others thought.

well yeah it's just an updated diamond and pearl. but this one looks like it has a lot more than the other 3rd games (yellow, crystal, emerald) so I think it's worth getting if you played d/p a lot.

That's not crazy because it's Pokemon....and I possibly won't get it, things may change but for now I have other priorities.

Million in 2 days huh? Well Pokemon games are like crack in Japan so it's no suprise really, but I don't think I'll get it, I'm perfectly fine with Diamond.

I'm buying it, but I really don't care about how well it sells in Japan. Wouldn't affect my decision really. I'm buying because I'm too lazy to start a new adventure in Diamond. Plus I have a Darkrai and Deoxys and I don't want to lose them. Besides them, I also cought the 3 wise spirit things that live in a cave, that other Pokemon that runs away from you, that steel/ fire Pokemon that lives in a cave and is like level 70, and Dialga. And yes I know I have some catching up to do.

I'm getting it because it's POKEMON :)

Also I heard it's got an entirely new story and a couple of Pokemon in their 'origin' forms. Can't wait.

Thing that annoyed me about Diamond/Pearl is the level of the gym leaders by the time you get to them, you need LOADS of time if you want to raise six Pokemon in Red/Blue/FireRed/LeafGreen/Diamond/Pearl, but in Gold/Silver/Ruby/Sapphire, it's fine because the gym leaders/elite 4 aren't a pain in the neck without training

I've played all the games in the Pokemon RPG series, and i must say the best is still Gold/Silver. But with the amount of content this one adds, i just have this feeling it will finally take over the position of G/S in my heart.
Definetly going to get this one!

it's worth buying because it's pokemon. and pokemon is one of the greatest series that ever lived. i bought the D/P ds lite, and the D/P case with the starters on it. pokemon is just that freaking amazing.

Well, the Japanese coined the term Kuso-ge, which shows just how much crappy games are produced. Now, I am not comparing Pokemon to said games, heck, I love Pearl, but my point is: If you make it, Japan will buy it(Unless it's foreign, then you might need to apply some marketing).

This means that I won't get it, I don't want Nintendo to take my money for a Remake, that'd only show them that I encourage them milking their franchises. Unless you want Pokemon to become the next Megaman, you should do the same :P.

I don't know why you'd bother...I mean, everyone and his dog already owns Diamond/Pearl, so paying thirty bucks for a game that's nearly identical to one you already own doesn't seem like smart allocation of resources. I, for one, would much rather wait to get Disgaea DS later this month :D.

My thoughts excatly. I still play Silver the most. I must have started over like 20 times. It was my first game ever

Probably not. I loved the Poke'mon games growing up and I still play the originals sometimes but I didn't follow the Poke'mon story after the original 150 and now.. I just don't feel it with the new ones and now I know I'll never remember all of them.

I was really late on picking up a DS (I didn't know what I was missing) and I never got around to paying $35 for a used game that has been out for more than 4 years. I'm not going to get to the store and wait in the cold so I can be the first to get it, but after a month or so I may pick up a copy.

3 million in six days and I'll think about it.

Yeah, I'm getting a bit tired of Pokemon. Maybe I'll grab this one, transfer all of them from Diamond to Pearl, and beat the Battle Frontier.

I had said to myself that I wouldn't get it, seeing as I have Pearl, but the more I see and hear about it, the better it seems. Not necessarily a Day 1 purchase, but I expect I will buy it eventually.

Platinum has way more features in it than D/P, and so did Emerald have more features than R/S, and so on. So, I think it's worth getting it. I know I'm going to. It'll be worth it.
