As Pokemon Diamond and Pearl near their Japanese release date of September 28th 2006, more facts about the upcoming DS series are revealed. The American or European release date for these games has not been formally announced and according to Nintendo we’ll just have to wait until they announce it, I’d count on it sometime in the first half of 2007. Anyway, let’s take a look at this news.

Attack overview:
* Every Move is one of three different categories or Attack Natures; Physical, Special and Other. Physical & Special attacks derive themselves from the Physical & Special stats respectively, while the Other category is used for the attacks that do not actually inflict damage.
* The Physical Attacks known so far are: Force Excert, Bone Rush, Poison Sting, Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, and Ice Fang.
* The Special Attacks known so far are: Discharge, Magical Leaf, and Swift which seems to still have it’s power halved by Reflect.
* The Other Attacks known so far are: Anticipate, Metal Sound, Sweet Kiss, Charm, GrassWhistle, Leech Seed, and Poison Barb.

Pokemon specific news:
* If Mime Jr. is attacked with an attack that is Super Effective, it’s damage is halved, and Mime Jr. also learns Reflect.
* Weavile has a new attack called Scheme, it greatly increases Weavile’s Special Attack.
* Lucario is a Fighting/Steel type Pokemon.
