Catch the Legendary Pokémons on Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

IMPORTANT!
These tricks are errors (bugs) from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Japanese version, use them at your own risk, you could lose the game save.
If you do them well, you will get the legendary catches that are only from Nintendo Events in Japan.

Getting Shaymin

First go to the Pokémon League, enter and when you're in the same room as the first opponent, use Surf on the door you just entered.
Walk a step down and reset the step counter (leave it visible in the bottom screen) .

You must walk exactly 200 steps to the right from the door.
Then you can use the bike to get there faster, but be careful not to go further.
Walk 363 steps down (563 steps total).
Then 722 steps to the right (1285 steps total).
And finally 19 steps to the left (1304 steps total).

Use the Underground Kit
You should appear in the subway, just come back.
You should now appear on a road in the middle of the sea with white ground, is normal, the textures of the game have not been charged.
Walk 3 steps up, check the backpack and go back (you don't need to look at the map) .

If you followed the instructions well, you're on a road made of flowers in the middle of the sea.



Go North for a while, at the end you will see Shaymin (level 30)
Once you defeat it or catch, get out of there by flight, as it is the only way to return.


Get Darkrai

Again we need to surf, but this time the flight is not required.
This time, choose to have visible the map on the bottom screen, since it is more important than the steps we take.
Well, do Surf Like last time, but this time we go to the other door.
Go up until you change route 5 times.
We try to go underground, it will give us a blue screen, don't care, restart the game.

We will be right where we dug, we go now down all we can until we get blocked with an invisible wall.
When this happens, step up 2 and 15 to the left and then move down (you can use the bike).

We must be paying attention to the map, we will be now at the top left corner of it, so we must go down to see that we are in the upper left corner of the island of the full moon, now check out the backpack, you'll see the sea on your right , go until you are 2 steps away from it, go to underground and then back, then move to the right, you will see that the sea disappeared, when it reappears stay at the seaside and go down, you will see the island of the moon but we don't want to go there, so go down until you see a darker area, then get into it and continue to the right, you will enter a zone with sea around, and later it will become a dark zone again, once this occurs walk up a little and there you will have the island of Darkrai.


Climb the stairs and save the game.
Restart the game and you will see you've really finished in a dark place, do not be afraid, check the backpack, everything will be normal again.
Now move a little and into the woods to see Darkrai (Level 40) . It is a really hard to catch Pokémon and gives you many headaches, so be patient.
Once trapped, or weakened, you can leave the island by boat, since it's not allowed to fly.

In case you want to see Cresselia, repeat the process but stop at its island, the rest is exactly the same (remember that when you talk to this Pokémon, it flees).

New Pokémon Scramble for Wiiware

A new Pokémon game has been announced, and will be distributed for WiiWare. This does not mean you have a poor quality game compared to a physical format: Pokémon Scramble is in way to be a great game.

Real-time multiplayer battles with more than 20 Pokémon on screen (RTS), meticulous aesthetic effects and spectacular attacks, lots of action and an ideal method of control.
The game will be handled with the Wii remote in a horizontal position, like a NES control, and with Nunchuk in specific phases. It would be nice to if it was also accepted a classic or Gamecube controller, but is not confirmed.
The game allows 1 to 4 players, and it seems that it also includes some minigames and solo play (missions), but it is difficult to be sure about that.

For sale since 16 of this month in Japan, by 1500 wiipoints in the Shop Channel.
There is still no release date in Europe and information is scarce (and in Japanese), but the more you wait, the more it looks a must have.

You can get more information and a video of the release here.

Question of trend

I have been messing up with some of the google labs' tools, and one of the most curious is Google Trends. This google search mode lets you observe the evolution of a search term over time, whether the number of searches on that term as the amount of news about the same. To do this it uses a chart wich indicates the most notable references with letters (A, B, C. ..) whose explanation is at the right.


I think you will better understand it with the following picture:

In this case I used the word Hurricane, because that same search in Spanish returned fewer results. As you can see, the graph shows the online search volume on google for the word hurricane, and a few small labels mark the most significant developments in the terms of search, with its links to the right of the image.

Another example, the search for the word gifts in 2007:

gifts Gifts
Christmas gifts for Madeleine
ic North London Online - Dec 21 2007
Musical gifts
News & Observer - Dec 24 2007

We can see two expected peaks for this search: Dates near Valentine (February 14) and Father Christmas (December 25).

We can see that the trend is similar every year, changing the search options of the year 2007 to All Years:

gifts
Teachers Get Weird, Wonderful Gifts
WRAL.com - Dec 23 2004
Christmas gifts, good and bad
Pioneer Press - Dec 24 2005
Scientologists' gifts to police
ic NorthWales - Nov 22 2006
Fidelity to pay about $42M in gifts case
TheNewsTribune.com (subscription) - Dec 21 2006
Christmas gifts for Madeleine
ic North London Online - Dec 21 2007
Musical gifts
News & Observer - Dec 24 2007 News & Observer - Dec 24 2007

In Spain (All Years, Country: Spain) happens somewhat the same thing:

regalos

Frankly, I was surprised to see such a volume of searches near Christmas. What has happened to our traditions?

There may be hundreds of interesting searches, so try it with anything.

The service is somewhat limited, since it only has indexed searches from the beginning of 2004, but is generally useful. Utility? Yes, because trends has additional functions:

You can enter up to 5 search terms, separated by commas, to see charts of all of them overlapping, as a comparison. (Terms of search are not necessary to be words, phrases are also admited, while every sentence is separated with a comma in the following).

Lego Nintendo
Nintendo @ E3
GameFaction - May 17 2005
Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS game details
RewiredMind.com - May 10 2006
Nintendo to release Wii console in Dec.
SiliconValley.com - Sep 14 2006
Nintendo launches Wii, challenging Sony
Team 4 News - Nov 19 2006
Nintendo Wii
Cubed3 - Dec 15 2006
E3 2007: Nintendo E3 press conference
PALGN - Jul 11 2007

Thus, comparisons are much easier and intuitive.

If we look for consoles from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, we have a self-explanatory chart:

Wii PS3 360
Activision announce Xbox 360 line up (Xbox 360)
Pro-G - May 13 2005
Xbox 360 released in North America (Xbox 360)
Pro-G - Nov 22 2005
Nintendo Wii News | Wii to be Region Free
Cubed3 - Sep 14 2006
Waiting for PS3
Sioux City Journal - Nov 17 2006
Xbox 360 Repairs Will Cost Microsoft $1B
Munster Times - Jul 6 2007
Halo 3 - Xbox 360
HEXUS.gaming - Jul 11 2007



It is clearly shown that Wii does not appear on the scene until almost 2006, while Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 are noun since before 2004. The roles are alternated until at the end of 2007 all three consoles enjoy the same popularity in searches.

I encourage you to try it by yourselves, sometimes things are very interesting.

The biggest shit that has been published

I have been told that the search in google "shit bigger than has been published" returns you this:



Your search - "shit bigger than has been published" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different words.
* Try using more general words.


And, frankly, Google should refine your search engine. Okay, there is nothing in this title, but in recent history have been published big shits. Google should have a search tool valuation, which would take into account the 'quality' of websites rather than popularity. And I say this because while his Pagerank algorithm, so praised, seems to have been one of his greatest successes, it is a gauge of popularity rather than utility.

How long event most people is right? No, that know that. However, perhaps err users to expect this from large companies. As in a library looking for specific information we have to swallow big shits give up with what we want, the essence of data, it really useful, this is how we have to move on the website.

Although there are good as well as catalogs and indexes content by category and in libraries and emerotecas, there are also similar to those on the Internet. Whether through lists of interesting links, rings linked pages with a constant common forums and communities focused on specific themes or pure coincidence, Internet users that need specific information usually find it. (And though the trend is changing, in general find information in English).

There are also tools that help in our search. One of them is an addon for FIrefox, StumbleUpon. Installed as a toolbar, and after checking (everything is shown step by step), and simply give the button - Stumble! - We will discover pages related to our interests.While it is an addon thought for the discovery, which normally just absorbing some time, right in general, and is always active option of voting pages we are seeing, to refine our preferences.
Unlike Google, StumbleUpon not based their findings on an algorithm of popularity for links or references, but hoped the common experience of all users of the system. Each user can qualify positively or negatively page, or add it if it is not in the database of StumbleUpon, and assign categories. This is the common sense just to impose, under which the number of visits that take a page.
If the information is useful, will be taken into account rather than a less popular page with useful content.

We can not avoid publishing shits shits or read on the Internet, is an almost impossible task. But like big shits are published, there are fabulous sites with content, specific, precise, accurate, timely, useful, practical and well explained. These are the sites that really seeking, and that is why I am surprised that Google does not have a ranking of pages published more shit, and, above all, that does not have a ranking or a voting system with which users can share views on the pages for each day find less shit to find information.

UPDATE:

Just after this writing, I found this page, which I recommend that you read them carefully.
And that sometimes we forget that there is also another world where to find useful things, without fail typing or using the mouse.

Grand Theft Auto: New New York




I came across this mod of GTA Vice City, which we took control of Fry, Bender, Leela or Zoidberg, and we can walk through the streets of New New York, where he placed the adventures of Futurama. For anyone who has played GTA III, the scenarios should be more than familiar, but it must be acknowledged that there are very good details, such as posters Slurm or police cars, identical to those of the series.
Here you get a video demonstration:




From what I read, the tubes we see in Futurama are functional, which you can move around the city thanks to them.There are more surprises in the game, that I have no doubt.
Currently, the development has stopped, and will not implement the mod (at least by this development team), but what we have done is absolutely playable, and you can not say 'missing something here'. Well, I hope able created interest, the page where you can download it is this.

Disfrutadlo! ;)

Portal







I think we all know this video. The game portal for PC game has been declared the year 2007, and does not detract from such a post.

The game system is based on the "Aperture Science Handheld Device Portal" (ASHPD), a manual device that creates portals flat surfaces, allowing travel and instant visual and physical connection between any 2 points in the 3D space. If two portals are connected at various levels, sometimes strange effects on the geometry and gravity. For example, the player can walk through a portal in the wall and "fall" from the roof several metres behind where he started. Only you can keep open portals 2 at the same time. If a new site is created, the portal will replace the same color previously opened. The device also functions as a weak version of the weapon of gravity of the Half-Life 2, which can sustain and maintain objects, but is unable to throw.

The operation itself is simple, but gets hours of entertainment. And while it is not very rejugable (Perhaps achievements encourage a bit, but to redo the entire set adds nothing), the story is simply sublime.

The history of the portal, immersed in the world of Half-Life, will reveal the player through audio messages GLaDOS side and hidden rooms and a few levels. The game begins with Chell awakening in a bed of hibernation and listening indications GLaDOS on the exercise to be undertaken. This part of the game uses various chambers of tests, which not only instructs GLaDOS Chell but creates a dense atmosphere around itself.

While each room contains cameras and observation windows, Chell never saw anyone else in the complex, and the only interaction you have is with GLaDOS. During the game, the reasons for GLaDOS appear to be more sinister than his soft attitude suggests. While it is designed to appear helpful and courageous, much of what he says suggests insinceridad and a disinterest in the subject of study as a guide when Chell through "A journey of live ammunition designed for military androids" because the camera usual is out for repairs. In another, GLaDOS emphasizes loyalty "Cube Weighted Companion" and the importance of this to Chell can finish the test, but then when he states that "Unfortunately be Eutanizado" in an incinerator to Chell can continue.

Certainly, the best thing is the song of claims, "Still Alive". And not forget: "The cake is a lie."


Well, the gamer community is very pleased with this game, which has not been able to avoid making small tributes:



Papercraft of Chell and the WCC (Weighted Companion Cube) in front of a portal.




And the same situation with LEGO.



Here is the WCC to make paper :)




And if you want to do the same thing you saw in the first picture, download it, print, cut, paste, entafarrar, pegaros fingers with loctite and officers. ;)
