On Monday September 3rd, starting at 8:30pm Eastern Time, the Powet.tv gaming community will be having a Pokémon Diamond and Pearl game night. What this basically means is that all Powet.tv members can go online at one time and engage in battles and trades with each other. With the large group we have there should be an oppurtunity to have constant battling at a time when you know people in your friend list will be available to battle. To participate please do the following:

1) Get a friend code! Post it in the Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Friend Codes thread or as a comment to this post.

2) At 8:00pm EST or later, add all the friend codes from the list at the end of this post, also available in this thread, to your Pal Pad. Feel free to start adding them earlier but to avoid having late comers left out of potential battles please remember to update your friend codes before starting to play.

3) Assemble your team of 6 non Legendary Pokémon, go to the basement of a Pokémon Center and talk to the girl on the left to go online.

4) Accept an invitation to a battle or chose “Invite” to challenge someone who’s online to a “Single Battle” or “Double Battle”. Please select a “Lv. 50 Single” or “Lv. 50 Double” which will take whatever 6 Pokémon you have in your team and set their level to 50 for the match. They will keep whatever moves they have but their stats will be what they would have at level 50, so competition should be more even.

Before you openly make fun of your competitor please keep in mind that voice chat is active during battles so when you speak into the mic in your DS, the opponent will hear you.

Trading is encouraged. Talk about what you’d like to trade while battling, and then change your team, reestablish your Wi-Fi connection, and trade accordingly.

For more information and discussion drop by the forum and check out this thread.

Thanks to Captain Genius for the spiffy banner.

Please keep reading for a list of what are considered to be restricted Legendary Pokémon and friend codes.

HobbyLink Japan has posted an image in their listing for forthcoming Masterpiece Skywarp of all three original seekers as Masterpiece figures, including a previously unheard of Masterpiece Thundercracker in the top right corner.

If this comes to fruition, count me in. I definitely want all three original seekers. Bring on the coneheads next!
