TODAY ONLY: Pokemon Easter Egg

Postby AsianBlossom » Sat Jan 12, 2008 3:56 am

This is for today, Jan. 12th only. Because it's the Pokemon game director's birthday, there is a rare phenomenon of "diamond dust" up at Snowpoint City in the Diamon and Pearl games. It's really cool, but it's for today only.

Crazy that they programed such an event in like that. I wonder if it's just for this year or it it can happen this day, every year.

独り 子 を 信じる 者 が 一人 も滅 ひない で, 永遠 の 命 お得る ため で ある。

Hm...I'm guessing it's a once a year thing. But still, it's pretty cool. I stumbled upon it this morning without knowing that it was the special "gift" from the game director. I was just like, "Oh, I've never seen this snow before! Or have I? I don't remember it snowing in this city...oh well. It's still pretty."

Couldn't you set your DS to this day at any time and view this when you wanted to?

Too bad I missed out on that :(. I wish they would have Arsus catchable.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

MSP: I'm sure you could do that.

G9.0: My brother's guess is that it's probably going to be released with a movie here in America...after all, Darkrai events are probably going to be done here in America this year, what with the movie release and all. Next year should be Shaymin (can't wait!! Eeee!! ^.^), followed by Arceus the year after. If that's the case, then they must be really expecting these games to last a super long time (not that they wouldn't, of course. And it's always good to have new content in a game for years to come.)

I think you could go back to January 12th to see if it's there...basically, it's sparkling snow.

Yeah, I checked this out on my game the other day. It wasn't that big of a deal, but the snow WAS pretty. XD Too bad it's not like that all of the time...

Hmm, interesting. Hopefully they could do it like that or hold a event and have some sort of special DS pack that comes with the next Pokemon film, that way Arsus could be caught two ways.
