So I ended up picking up Pokemon Pearl for the DS from Gamestop on friday - seeing as I haven't played one since the original Red/Green/Yellow series back in the original Gameboy days.
I remember it being a passable RPG series with the interesting bit of picking up the monsters to battle for you. While geared towards children a bit, it was fun to encounter the new breeds teach the pokemon new moves, and to just explore the gameworld and see what's what.
So I loaded up the game, chose ChimChar (the fire monkey) as my starting type - I have a fondness for the Fire types, my favorite from the originals is still the Charmander/Charmaleon/Charizard evolution - and proceeded to play.
So far, I have nearly 35 Pokemon captured, of varying types, including a Abra and a Ghastly, Onix and a Machop.
My Main Team so far consist of - Monferno (evolved Chimchar), Psyduck, Staravia (evolved Starly - a bird type like Pidgey from the originals) Onix, Leorx (electric cat) and usually a switch between Abra and Machop.
So, who else has picked it up? How are you enjoying the game?

If you get this, let me know when you can be on the GTX, and what your looking for in trade for the Pikachu and the Chamander.
Also, if you got a squirtle and a bulbasaur you'd be willing to trade off......

I've got plenty of Pikachus, Charmanders, Squirtles, and Bulbasaurs to spare. If you don't have the National Pokedex yet, you probably don't have too much to offer, but it's no big deal. I'll settle for any of the following or their evolutions:
Slowpoke
Houndour
Stantler
Glameow
Dustox
Goldeen
Anything awesome
Otherwise, I'll trade them for Starlys and Bidoofs I suppose. Doesn't really matter to me.
My Friend Code is 2620 9245 3072. I can be on any time today. Just post here when you're ready, and post your FC.

How about...
Either of your Sudowoodos
Any Graveler
Azumarill
and...Medicham
Please note that other than the Pikachu, these guys are all level 1 since they're hatched from eggs. Also, they're all male since females are a lot rarer and you can use a Ditto anyway. You can catch one after you get the National Dex or I have a spare I could give you.
Also, on the Charmander, would you rather have Flamethrower and Fire Blast or just Iron Tail (plus Scratch and Growl of course)?

updated, just caught some more and sorted out my boxes....
the new additions include....
Wooper (lvl 20m)
Mantyke (lv 39m)
Goldeen (lvl 19m) (lv 20m)
Unown (lv 22)
Since I'm getting squirtle from you, I don't mind trading off the Azumarill (I prefer the turtle anyway...), and it doesn't matter their all level 1's, I'll train them up quick with the XP boost trades get...
But yeah, the ones you listed will be fine for me, a Sudowoodo, a Graveler, the Azumarill and a Medicham....
by the by....any pidgy's? =p
Let me know when you want to meet, I'll go and pull the mon's and wait in the trade zone in the pokecenter. Doesnt matter on the Charmander, just whatever one you want to give up.

Sorry, I don't have any Pidgeys at the moment, but I can transfer one from Fire Red sometime.
I'm ready to trade now if you want. I'll be online.
P.S. I decided to throw in a little gift for Charmander to hold.

S'all cool. And I totally forgot that the game has voice chat. I had my volume down most of the time, and when I turned it up at one point I think I heard you. Oh well.
Pleasure doin' business with ya.
