Section: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum
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.

Disappointing. If I didn't respect them so much I'd be ordering an ion cannon strike on Nintendo right about now.
What a let down...Ah well.
Erm...the snow just turned orange....is that it? o.O
Helen gives a different weather report? I'll have to just cram in a load of telly in a vain hope of spotting her...
Well It was Disapointing but hey at the good news is that if they can do something like this imagine what else they can do
XD
i hate junichi!!!
Oh yes, how terrible of him to give all of us something, however small, for his birthday. He never promised anything big, or consequential, so why hate him for giving us something? That's just pathetic and childish...
But yeah, NatureMaster444, I read somewhere that there might be loads of other things like this built in the game to happen on certain days of the year.
Ha ha ha. The snow in snowpoint changes abit. What baloney retony
Is the snow changing thing permanent? Or just a one time only thing for that Saturday because unfortunately, today being Sunday, the day AFTER Saturday, I missed it because I didn't know about it until now =P
Myehhe...I was too busy soft-resetting for a Shiny Palkia to check it out. Oh well...glad to hear I didnt miss TOO much...
Is it still like it?
I'm about to check it out.
It didn't work in my game ARRG I want sparkly snow!!
Eep, I missed it. Will it work if I turn back the clock on my DS?
dam it i thought nothing was happening in pokemon at the moment
:-(
this happens quite a lot with me at first i didnt think anything was different really! i was really dissapointed with this i was expectin like sum big event like arceus comin to visit u lol
Why the heck would that happen?
Geez, you're all being greedy. He programmed a beautiful Diamond Dust weather effect for his birthday, and you gripe about it. It's his BIRTHDAY! If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have Diamond and Pearl.
Anyway, like Hail, apparently it does have effects on battles, but y'see the thing is: There're no trainers in Snowpoint to battle, HA! serves you all right for being greedy! >.
the post above is a bit... :S
something wrong with him...
I didn't know about this!! I missed it!!! Damn! But seriously, 'Diamond Dust' is a cameo/copyright infringement of SEGA. Sonic 3D to be precise, level four is called the 'Diamond Dust Zone'. It's kind of like those bootlegged chinese games, and to them I say the same thing; 'copyrighrt exists!!!'.
I missed it. Didit even happen in Europe? I dont like it. ssssssh
