Pokemon Diamond/Pearl – Part 76: Mesprit, Being of Emotion


Marriland plays through the American version of Pokemon Diamond. This is part seventy-six in a continuing series. In this episode, Devin chases the running Legendary Being of Emotion, Mesprit. Usually Mesprit is very difficult to catch, equally as difficult as Azelf and Uxie as far as catchability goes. However, unlike the previous two, you have to hunt down Mesprit to try and catch it and it runs away from you in the first turn of the fight. A Murkrow or Honchkrow with Mean Look is your best bet, but any of the Zubat, Gastly, and Misdreavus lines can learn Mean Look as well. Mean Look will prevent it from running. Block works, too, but it’s unlikely any Pokemon in Sinnoh that learns Block (Bronzong, Bastiodon, etc.) will be able to outspeed Mesprit. If you don’t have a Pokemon with Mean Look available, try weakening it and afflicting it with Sleep or Paralysis. Just be careful not to knock it out! Mesprit will usually have between 85 and 100 Speed, though it can have up to 110, so make sure that you are faster than that if you try to attack it. You can also use your Master Ball on it (though I’d recommend saving it for Cresselia) or you can wait until you’ve gotten the National Dex to catch a Wobbuffet and use its Shadow Tag Ability to prevent it from escaping. Your call.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl – Eevee and its evolutions

This video shows you how to get the Pokemon Eevee in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and then how to evolve it into all seven of its evolutions – Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. Well, my first few videos have been a booming success, so it’s about time for another one! I’m trying something different and actually using my voice to narrate it instead of just text. Hopefully I sound like a true Pokédork! :B If you prefer me to narrate using text, let me know, because I’d like input. And of course, if you need stats and info on all of these evolutions of Eevee, be sure to check out my site’s online Pokedex: pokemon.marriland.com Much more there than could possibly be fit into a single video, that’s for sure! @_@ Enjoy! Oh, and be sure to comment with your favorite Eeveelution, too! :D

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl – The Pal Park

Marriland shows you where to find the Pal Park, and how to capture the Pokemon you transferred from your GBA game. This was recorded on my Japanese Diamond version because I haven’t gotten that far on my English version yet and I wanted to show people how to use the Pal Park. I didn’t record this part because it was on the bottom screen, but to transfer Pokemon, you have to select the third option on the main menu, and then select 6 Pokemon from your boxes WITHOUT HM MOVES learned. You can only do this once every 24 hours. And as always, be sure to check out: – pokemon.marriland.com It has a full Pokedex and complete Walkthrough so you’ll know everything there is to know! Enjoy!

Quickie Video Game Reviews: Pokèmon Diamond/Pearl

The Pokèmon games for Nintendo’s Game Boy (and its reincarnations) are among the most popular video games ever created. In the latest installments, Pokèmon Diamond and Pokèmon Pearl (which, like their predecessors, are basically the same but each has some Pokèmon that you can only catch on one version and not the other), the Pokèmon franchise has jumped onto Nintendo’s latest handheld, the DSi. The premise is exactly the same as the previous installments: you catch little monsters (Pokèmon) and battle others with them. You travel from town to town, defeating the leaders of Pokèmon gyms and collect badges. Your goals are twofold: to become the greatest Pokèmon master of all time as well as to collect every single Pokèmon in the game.

So, what’s new about this one? What sets it apart from all the other Pokèmon games we’ve played?

The Differences

As I haven’t played any other Pokèmon games since the Gold version on the Game Boy Color (which I never finished), I’m not sure exactly what the previous games looked like, but if you’re like me and felt that the Gold and Silver versions were too similar to the original Blue and Red games to be worth it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by Diamond and Pearl.

The most notable difference is in the graphics. Though it is essentially the same, with all of the people being tiny sprites and the Pokemon battles looking almost exactly like they did, the 3D effect used on the buildings and trees make it look shiny and new. You feel like you’re actually getting a top-down view of your character. The rest of the graphics are much more crisp and clean than the previous versions, of course, thanks to the DSi’s greater graphical capabilities.

The beginning is pretty much the same as every other Pokèmon game: you choose your name and sex, you get into a situation where you have to pick your first Pokèmon, and off you go on your adventure. As the game progresses, you’ll find plenty of pleasant surprises that make this game unique from the others. This is where the DSi’s stylus comes in.

Though the stylus isn’t used excessively much, it can be used to control the battle menus. I prefer using the D-pad myself, but if you’re looking for a change of pace you might try using the stylus. There are a number of mini-games that also make use of the stylus, like the Pokèmon contests. Though it’s not essential for most of the game, using the stylus in these mini-games adds variety to this game.

The Similarities

In essence, this game is fairly similar to the versions before it. There are over 100 new Pokèmon introduced, as well as numerous appearances of Pokèmon from the original Blue and Red versions. I found this to be a great thing since I was never a big fan of the “new” Pokèmon. 151 was enough to keep track of! Though I must say, the new Pokèmon introduced in this game are pretty neat. I absolutely LOVE Bidoof, a guinea pig/beaver-like creature who beats Pikachu hands-down in the cuteness department.

Okay, so… Do you recommend it?

Sure! If you’re a Pokèmon fan, you’ll really enjoy this. If you grew up playing Pokèmon as a kid like I did, you’ll find this to be a pleasant nostalgia trip that uses the same formula that made these games so addictive without being exactly the same as the originals.

Overall Recommendation: Unless you absolutely abhor Pokèmon, you really should give this one a try!
