New Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Details

DS

Coro Coro Magazine in Japan has confirmed some very nice details about the upcoming Nintendo DS versions in the Pokemon franchise. For starters, it suggests we should be looking at a Q1 2006 release, not November this year.

There are no new Pokemon types, but certainly new combinations (like Steel/Fighting - see Rukario). Additionally, there are brand new Pokemon, as well as evolutions and pre-evolutions. You can see five new Pokemon in the media section. It's set in a new world again - not Kanto, Johto or Hoenn.

Because of the DS's GBA slot, you will easily be able to transfer your Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green. They also confirmed that up to 16 people will be able to connect to the game using the DS's wireless capabilities.
