[mr ryles]

I have diamond, but may pick this up just cuz.

[snakelda]

only pearl?

[Friend of Sonic]

Wow. It's... Pokemon... for... 19.99. The real Pokemon game too. Interested. I already have Diamond, though, that I bought off a lil kid in Gamestop.
Little bastard somehow misplaced the manual despite it being two weeks after its release date, though.

[jeremy517]

Shows up as $34 for me. I wouldn't be interested either way, but it is odd.

[bb_88]

too bad I already own this game.

[ddrlenz]

Cool!

[mietha]

If you want it, I'd buy it NOW. It is the gold box DOTD as well as the VG DOTD. I wouldn't expect it to be around too long unless they have a LOT of copies.

[Rocko]

Wow, great DotD, I already have Diamond though.

[gunm]

Odd--did they really not sell enough of Pearl? I already have it, though. I wonder if Diamond is tomorrow's DOTD then? j/k...

[whoknows]

Good game. Good deal.

Wish I didn't already have the game

[SDC]

If I were 10 years younger I'd do this in a heartbeat (despite already owning Diamond). Man, when RBY first came out I bought 'em all.

[dhelor]

too bad I already own this game.

No kidding. :D I'll be letting a friend of mine know about this, hopefully it won't be sold out by the time he gets to it.

[metaly]

Whoever just bought my $25 used copy is probably kicking themselves.

[DrFoo]

I have diamond, but may pick this up just cuz.
I was hoping there was only one person who would buy both versions of a Pokemon game. I guess my hopes were too high. Kind of disgusts me but I guess this is America.

I'm just a $$$$a who loves pogeymonz.

plus the one save file thing is no fun.

I agree! People buying two Pokemon games?! That is absolutely revolting! Down with Pokemon lovers, they're disgusting pigs!

[Oktoberfest]

I bet there are people that bought two DS's just so they can trade with themselves

[mr ryles]

:drool:

[62t]

Aside from Fire Red and Leaf Green the other main Pokemon games are full price. This will be gone by morning. Too bad I already got Pearl.

[flames_of_chaos]

Even though I have diamond I am probably going to get one but I'm deciding since its much easier to get all the pokemon because of the wifi trading.

[Thongsy]

Shut up, I had to, I really had to. Actually I did buy both and two DS, but one set was for my brother. There is online trading in the game now so it isn't as bad as it was in the eariler games where it was impossible to get other pokemons.

I do wish Emerald would drop in price though, still $35 for that game. Bastards.

[msdmoney]

Okay, never played Pokemon before, what is the difference between diamond and pearl, does it make any difference if I am just going to play it without trading Pokemons, which I vaguely understand to be reason to have both?

[menikmati]

omfg pokemans.

[laaj]

They are same games with few unique Pokemons on each version.

This just became my first CAG purchase! :applause: And I'll get this on Friday as Amazon Prime member.

If you are not going to be trading or trying to collect all of them then you do not need to worry about the differences.

[RelentlessRolento]

would get, but prefer diamond.

[contej85]

would get, but prefer diamond.

Why?

[Vard]

No longer $20 at the moment. : (

[cisco49]

I got to work early today and still missed it dang it.

[dhelor]

My brother-in-law bought a copy of it recently at a local used game store for $15. Just gotta look in the right places, I guess.

[Oatmeal Batman]

Sold out :( See here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox
Cheapy says to check it later, so keep an eye on it and you may get lucky.

[figcoinc]

It is back. Now I need something to fill that 5.01 void. Guess it is time to check the amazon filler site!

[emperordahc]

Yea, it's back and still $19.99.

Snapped up an order for a workmate along w/ a game I needed to get free shipping.

[foltzie]

Done and Done.

[Filbert]

I'd buy it if the version I already had wasn't Pearl (I'm playing it as I type). However, getting a second version really does you no good if you don't have a second DS anyway.

[garfep]

Got one! Thanks, OP.

[ozzymandd]

Grab it now if you want it. Barring another DotD, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl isn't going to get any cheaper.

[Sideswiper]

Snatched Pokemon Pearl for $20. I ended up getting Etrian Odyssey as well, even though it wasn't on sale ($30).

[mdofl1]

I just picked this up at 10:36 A.M. EST. I would just let everyone know it is back at $19.99.

[MrNEWZ]

Same. I'm so weak.

[jrzshore]

Woke up and saw it as sold out, so sad!

But then got to work and saw it back, so happy!

And since I was feeling froggy, I got Absolute Batman: Hush for around $40 too... that's a steal!

Hey, you got Amazon in my CAG! No, you got CAG in my Amazon!

[Tybee]

Hit it. Needed something else to get free shipping, so I went ahead and got the player's guide, which brought it up to what the game alone would normally cost. Nice.

I played Blue quite a bit way back in the day, and played a little of Sapphire. Thought I'd skip this generation, but the great reviews and this low low price sucked me right back in.

[Marion517]

I haven't played since Pokemon Blue, back when you could sing the 150. Hopefully I won't be too out of my depth. Grabbed this, thanks OP!

Ditto that. I've been reading Penny Arcade and they're talking about all of the advanced formulas involved and egg hatching and all this other stuff and it just seems a little overwhelming.

[TomoyoN]

In for one thx op... Hopefully they will have a DotD for the Diamond :P

[Filbert]

Don't worry, you don't have to do any IV breeding or EV training unless you plan to battle online.

[Foo228]

Don't worry, you don't have to do any IV breeding or EV training unless you plan to battle online.

even if you battle online - you don't need to iv breed

but i do suggest you ev train, 'specially for the elite 4 at the end

[jagwire1141]

Got one.

[jkam]

Thanks op. I grabbed one for a birthday present. I added a Logitech Cordless Action controller for the PS2 to get free shipping. The controller also has a $5 rebate. Not too shabby.

[judyjudyjudy]

Damn, sweet deal. Too bad I got both versions a while ago.

[MetalGearDraco]

Hurry up, it's back in stock as of 1:18pm eastern.

[naes]

Good deal, but I got them both when they first came out for $25 each.

[Vard]

Got it now; thanks CAG! I picked up Shaun of the Dead ($10) as well to get free shipping.

[eugaet]

Argh, so weak. I'm in. Added 2 DS headsets, one for me, one for a local friend who I just found out has Diamond.

[Nohbdy]

Bought. I acquired the last universal car adapter that was in stock. $7 filler ftw, suckers! 8V

[GunstarRed]

Great DOTD! I just ordered one at around 1:00pm PST so it's in stock at least for now. My youngest cousins are still Pokemon obsessive, so anything Pokemon always makes a good gift.

[laaj]

For only $5 more you could have bought the guide and one year subscription to Nintendo Power. Check the Nintendo Power + Guide offer that comes with almost every Nintendo published games.

[zackattack]

Thank OP, in for one.

Get Amazon Prime everyone.

[autche]

Against my better judgement I picked one up through DOTD; the reviews/price were too enticing. I haven't played pokemon since the GBC days, though I recalled it not being bad at all.

[Blade70]

Thank OP, in for one.

Get Amazon Prime everyone.
LOL! I"ll would be broke if I sign up for Prime, because I'll be ordering all sorts of crap!:bomb:

I'm already subscribed to NP for at least the next two years because of deals like these, so don't need to sign up for a third just yet. ;)

[laaj]

You don't have to order that much for it to be worth it. Is worth it if you order just 10 items or more per year and hate waiting for things to arrive. It could be different now but when I still used the Amazon's free shipping option more than 2 years ago, it took longer for the orders to be processed than paid shipping options. Personally Amazon will lose me as customer if they ever get rid of this.

[Wlogan31]

I've NEVER played ANY pokemon...how would I know if I'll be into Pokemon? What type of game is this? I see the reviews and know the price won't drop, but I don't know whether to bite or not...

Also - any suggestions on filler?

Its an RPG. If you like RPGs, i'd say there is a chance you'll have some fun with Pokemon.

Thanks - RPG is one of my favorite genres, so I guess I'll give it a go...fillers?

[Qbe]

Wow! Yesterday I was going to stop at TRU and use the 20% off coupon on this, but didn't have the time. This morning...it's the DOTD. I love this site.

[Wlogan31]

i bit...pray to god i like pokemon...

[KingDox]

I got one, even though I haven't beat Leaf Green I know this is one of the best deals we are going to see for a while.

I needed filler and instead of just choosing junk I went for copy of Picros.

[Tybee]

30 gazillion 10-year-olds can't be wrong! ;)

Heh, I actually used this AS the filler for the $10 Eragon. I've not played since Red/Yellow, never finished either, and sadly it doesn't appear to have changed all that much.

[Filbert]

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Well actually it has changed a whole lot since R/B/Y. However the changes are all behind the scenes. I think you'll find the battling to be very deep, well balanced, and addictive. Especially compared to the good but flawed R/B/Y games.

[anvilfactory]

Thanks for the information. I succumbed to the price drop and purchased it...along with a gift for a friend that's the same price. Man, I feel poor. Good thing I managed to score a three-month trial of Amazon Prime though as I got to the check out page. That, and I used a five dollar gift certificate that I received from Amazon from having pre-ordered Harry Potter.

Omg, Magical Starsign has dropped from 29.99 to 16.99! =P~ So cheap...no, must resist!

[garfep]

Mine came today, even without paying the extra for overnight. Gotta love Amazon Prime. :)
