Different you say? UPDATE: We know what (underwhelming) change it is.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

The game director of Game Freak, Junichi Masuda, wrote in his HIDDEN POWER of Masuda blog today that owners of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will find "something different" in the games when they play this Saturday. What could he possibly mean?

Well, lets guess anyway with some bets.

2/1 - An Event

10/1 - Drifloon Friday becomes Starly Saturday

250/1 - Something useful

1000/1 - Free Cow

1,000,000/1 - Wild Psythor

So, what do you think it could be? SPECULATE TIME!

12 January update: It turns out we know now. The snow in Snowpoint City changes to look different. It's pretty, but other than that... well, rather useless, to be honest.

Nah, it's none of these. It's not been confirmed, but it seems likely that it's gonna be a change in weather condition around Snowpoint. The Diamond Dust apparently... =p

Hmm It's very mysterious and I hope it's something for the british

The only thing that changes is the snow in snowpoint. It looks cooler. I know, i'm disappointed too...

Well whoever thought it was a pokémon giveaway is a bit of a prat, all it said was to play the game, and so long as you're in snowpoint City, that's exactly what you need to do. It never said ANYTHING whatsoever about a pokémon giveaway, that's pure, over-the-top speculation.

Well It's Saturday. AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED"

PsyduckRanger, it never said anything about going to snow point it just saoid to play and you'll notice something different
Bulbaboi444 on Sat 12 Jan 2008 10:20:55 UTC.

Yep. that's pretty much a let down. pretty though.
BlackStatic on Sat 12 Jan 2008 11:00:13 UTC.
In fact, it's kinda cool. *is shot*

Shaymin on Sat 12 Jan 2008 12:14:53 UTC.
