Pfft you need to move on to Emerald. Now that was one of the best Pokemon games. Many of the pokemon aren't gay looking and the starters added a really fun twist. (Except Skeptile not being anything but grass...)
The only real thing I like about Diamond/Pearl is that you can transfer pokemon from other games. Since I've gotten all of the battle frontier badges and beaten the elite four over 30 times on Emerald, I like giving my Leaf Blade a change in what to kill. Funny, despite my love for water pokemon, Skeptile is one of my favorite pokemon overall. No worries though, he won't ever be better than Blastoise or Suicune.
Pokemon Trainer wtf! EVOLVE SQUIRTLE TO BLASTOISE SO HE'S NOT A LAME WATER GUN PUMPER! Grugh...Maybe they should give that fighter 6 pokemon just to annoy everyone into not playing him. Oh yes, the guy character in Diamond/Pearl is also gay... I mean really, a beret AND a scarf? Come on Japan...
