09/29/06 Some Pointers
Eevee has ripped all the D/P item sprites and is still working on the battle sprites, but he says they are in a completely different format he has never seen before unlike the GBA-formatted icons and item sprites. (He is also working on putting the D/P Pokémon into the Pokédex.) The items might give some pointers as to the evolution methods of some of the old Pokémon that have new evolutions; the purple crystal orb that seems to have cloudy mist inside it, for example, makes me think of the Misdreavus evolution. It will also be interesting to find out how Eevee evolves into the Grass and Ice Eeveelutions.
(Iveechan and I were talking and we realized that Game Freak has a conspiracy against spriters. They're jealous of our awesome talent, so they made a 3D overworld with 2D battles, specifically to tempt us with those sprites, and then make it difficult for us to rip them. They're evil.)
PokéJungle has a couple of D/P videos that are fun to watch, especially if you're interested in hearing the Gym leader battle music. I'm already addicted to it. o.o
Also, I was watching the second Pokémon Battle Revolution video before, and suddenly thought I saw blood when Groudon slashes Diaruga with its claws, but on second thought it's probably just using Dragon Claw (rather than Slash, as Serebii.net's Pokémon Battle Revolution screenshots page claims). Oh well. It was kinda "Whoa", though.
Oh, yeah, a couple of things about D/P I found interesting. Firstly, the TM list is pretty unique. We have False Swipe, Will-O-Wisp and Silver Wind as TMs. Unique, but I'm not complaining - Silver Wind is annoying to have to breed onto everything, and the limited number of Pokémon that had False Swipe was outrageous considering just how useful that move is. Secondly... damn, I forgot what the other thing was. We'll have to do without it until I remember, then.
Pokémon Battle Revolution article coming up tomorrow.

I have no idea what this means but it is scary anyway:

False Swipe as a TM move is <3. They should add the elemental punches, too. They're handy. :]
Holy crap. I forgot they're Physical moves now. XD Ah well, might be handy for a Physical-based Pokémon.
