Wrong. He said that some people from the last game would not be returning.

Sorry, stated that wrong.
By "original roster," I meant the Super Smash Bros. roster -- consisting of the first 12 original Smashers.

Believe me, I know of Sakurai's statement of "Not all characters from Melee will be returning." I fear for the Doc... He was my favorite.
Ah... well... I heard there are supposed to be alternate costumes. Perhaps he'll be an Assist Trophy, if not an Alt. Costume...? Only time will tell.

In terms of graphics... Twilight Princess.

In terms of gameplay, or maybe even plot... Ocarina of Time.

They both have their own strengths and weaknesses, I suppose. ^^;

Yeah, it's just my opinion he doesn't belong. He does bring something cool, and that's 3rd party support to SSB series. Other than that, I just don't think he belongs is all. He doesn't fit, like...the "Nintendo" bill, he doesn't have the characteristics for this type of game. I mean, stuff like Snake, Master Chief, James Bond, etc. do not fit, imo. Things like Sonic, Ratchet, Spyro, etc. would fit the bill. I'm talking basic characteristics and game type is all. This is all my opinion, like I said.

I heard this once, people not thinking Snake was a good idea... But then, why does no one have any troubles with Captain Falcon, if he's just about the same as Snake (just Nintendo created)? (...Just that C. Falcon was introduced in the original Smash Bros., and given "powers," something I doubt Snake will inherit.)

As for Pokemon, it's Nintendo's second biggest selling fanchise (next to Mario)... Why wouldn't they have a decent roster? 5 or 6 sounds reasonable enough (more than likely five, if you ax Pichu from the list; Jigglypuff's going to be back, as Sakurai once stated some time ago that the entire original roster will be returning).
I'm hoping to see Deoxys and Lucario make the cut, and have Mewtwo return with a STRONGER moveset. He can keep the old one; just make him stronger, jeez!
IF the list turns out that way, with Pikachu and Jiggs being definites, then Mewtwo returning (as he's one of the staple Pokemon since the 1st gen), Deoxys could represent 3rd... and Lucario 4th. Some people are wanting to see Meowth, too. Personally, I don't know if I could stand him taking the spot of a more decent fighter. He barely fights on the show, for that matter... Meh.

Gratitude...

...
...

Two nights' worth to search, and I find nothing. Nothing. Perhaps I have taken this too seriously... Could the Criminal not exist? But then, how was I ever framed? I must consult master Arceus about this dilemma once more. He won't be pleased with this...

Such a time has inspired me. I may not have found my perpetrator, but I have had a feast's worth of NightMares and screams for this week, more so than I have ever received. The more born, the more pain...

That mansion... the Forest Manor, the Old Chateau. I happened to pass it whence traveling through the forest. I didn't hear the child's voice calling to me (as it would normally do whenever sensing my presence), and my curiosity grasped me and drew me back into that old house.
It appeared that renovations were done, however little there was. The tiles were cleaned of the grass and flowers once in bloom there, perhaps thrown out somewhere in the backyard or terrace. However, the tiles themselves -- the spots where the vines had penetrated through the floor -- were still missing, revealing patches of dry mud and dust. So lazy are these Trainers! They care not of an old memory...
The picture in the dining room has finally gone. Perhaps the family took it back. I hated that picture so... I could not erase those smiles, no matter what I did.

Upon some closer inspection, both upper rooms of the second floor -- the original parents' room and the storage -- had been cleaned and both become large closets for various storage. Books, papers, other collected items from the fire... They had been transferred into those rooms. Pity to see them go to waste, I suppose.

Ah, something I nearly forgot.
Whenever I checked the child's room... her picture still hung on the wall. However, there was something different about it. Whenever I approached, the child's eyes would dim like lights, until I was so near they nearly faded away... Whence I exited, I could see those eyes glimmering brightly. Even in different rooms, if I were to enter through the walls using My Shadows of Invisibility, those eyes would continually watch me... whether it be the left or right, they continued to turn with me. An interesting trick. I could only wonder how long it took the child to manipulate that painting...
That was all I discovered there, my Old Chateau. I shall trek there once more, I suppose, as I am no longer bothered by her voice... The only object worth visiting there is my dying statue, still glaring menacingly at those who dare to enter my Manor... puny Insignificants and Trainers alike.

Now that I speak of the Manor... Shaymin. I have not heard of her in a long time. From what I know, since the day she tried to bribe my Master...
It seems I dismissed an important detail.

Shaymin was banished to her small island in the ocean, where she would serve her term till the day she is discovered by a Trainer. However, to find her, the Trainer must decode a message on a White Rock, miles away from her home... This has yet to occur.
However, after her banishment, Shaymin withdrew all the world's power of flowers along with her. Doing so, she dried continent's worth of plants into nothing but dust. Pokemon were the first to suffer. Hoards of them began to die off in a mass starvation, eventually effecting the world's Trainer population.
In response to this, rogue organizations formed special companies to combat the death of the plants. They tried to create non-organic replacements, but to no avail. They, too, were thrown into confusion, and mayhem spread across the planet.
Master Arceus commanded Shaymin to return the planet's power, but Shaymin refused, stating that she was banished from the world and that nothing would change even if she did comply to his rule. (I began to respect Shaymin at this point.) Arceus himself attempted to recreate the world's plants. But Shaymin fought back, sucking up the energies and depleting the renewed sources. The scuffle lasted only a little while, with my Great Master choosing his only option: Giving in to his creation. As Shaymin had control of the planet's natural resources, she could do as she pleased with them. No other Legendary was given such a privalege.

Then a day came when the prayer of a small child reached Shaymin's ears. The prayer was to have back the earth's natural resources, and in return he would grow up and keep the planet safe from the corruptions of other men. Moved beyond tears, Shaymin not only gave back the earth's power, she also bestowed upon the child her blessings. Since that day, flowers in the town where the child lived -- Floaroma -- have flourished.
Decades have passed since this incident. Since then, the children of that child have retained their blessings -- the children of the first Berry Master.
And since then, Arceus tried recalling the banishment of Shaymin. But, understanding what she did, she accepted her fate and remained concealed on her island for disobeying her Master, whom she still loved deeply. (It was here I lost respect for her... though the memory of her disobedience still lives with me.) And thus, to this day, Shaymin has remained quiet from the world, and the world has remained in balance with nature... all because of the good will of a child, and the Gratitude of Shaymin.

This ends my day... A story, and some well-deserved rest.

But do not think for a moment you will be safe...
as I will have thee once again to-night...
and prepare to Suffer even more than night's previous...

^ I thought the same thing. Makes him look kind of old... but at least he doesn't have that corny Mario Party skin. Ugh. I HATE that goody-goody look for him. No ferocity whatsoever. X_X

NEW CHARACTER: BOWSER, KING OF THE KOOPAS

The biggest and heaviest fighter, the King of the Koopas is back for another round of Melee... or rather, Brawling!

Hopefully this time he's more evened out like the other fighters... I know Sakurai said all the fighters would be "evened" this time... I just worry about Bowser the most. He was one of my favorites, until I finally stopped using him altogether since I would always be thrashed around like the Sandbag.

Boo.

Discussion!

^ Is right.

Pokemon Classic Trainer Battle [Superior Mix] (Pokemon Gold & Silver) - Remixer: Shoe - VGMix & OCRemix ~ Pokemon Remixes

Nice name there.
Welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy your time here.

Quote from TriforceMaster3000

Should this even be discussed? No offense, but this is a really controversial topic, along with politics. It can lead to debates and eventual fights (sometimes, even hackings). Should this even be here?

It's true... You'd be surprised how people can react when questioned about religions, media, or politics. Can't we all just get along?

I'm Roman Catholic, so yeah.

((Not just yet... Patience is a vital key to this story. ))

The Begotten...

...
...

I searched all yester-night towards this fresh dawn, sometimes willingly sparing my normal Victims from a NightMare. And what do I find.

Nothing.

The Creature whom I so wholly searched for is no where in sight. I found the fabled cave of Cresselia -- narrow, crumbling, and empty. There was nothing of it there, not so much as any of its Dark Aura left over for me to feast upon.
With no clues left behind, no Creature to be found, where will I turn to? How can I find something that only exists in the minds of those who've seen it?
Alas, though my search was unsuccessful, I had a fair share of my night's contentment. Sometimes the Trainers awoke from their slumber, due to the incredible trauma they suffered from their Dreams... Dreams infiltrated and ultimately controlled by My Unearthly Powers. So sweet, their terror...

But I continue to feel at a loss. My Enemy's words... How much truth was there in them? Perhaps I... need to keep searching, and think no more of it.

Such a Night as yester-night has reminded me of my Days of Old, when I was still growing in Power and Wisdom. Yes, the Power to create more terrifying NightMares... the Wisdom to discern reality from imagination... Sometimes I would be lost in my own Creations. But there are some Creations that are better left untold...
It appears I have a tendancy of leaving a story incomplete whenever I speak of it... This is an example of my telling misfortune, as it was a detail I so sorrowfully missed whenever I explained the Beginning of the World...

There was once a time -- long ago, before the splitting of the Sinnoh Supercontinent by Regigigas -- when Trainers would willingly inflict pain upon their Companions, and even to one another. It was such a golden sight, to see their fists fly and screams pierce the air...
Many Moons had passed after the Trainers turned against my Master (foolish beings). During the many Seasons, lives were lost to the hands of both the Trainers and corrupted Insignificants. Those lives that were lost (there were not many... perhaps, at the time, only two dozen) transferred themselves into a -- slowly -- growing Creature. The Creature dwelled within a Cracked Stone somewhere in the Sinnoh Supercontinent... And the stone would relocate every time a spirit merged with it. Those lost souls lost all thought, being, spirit. They became one with one another, turning into a horrendous Ghost... No one knew of this Ghost, however, due to the fact it was hidden in the Stone. Even I was completely oblivious of this strange phenomenon... but it did not escape the sight of my Master, whom watched over the growing Ghost...
Eventually, a war broke out in one of the towns -- it was a team of Trainers fighting their own Insignificants -- and many lives were lost. The Death Toll rose to fifty-eight, with only one loss of a Trainer. These lost souls soon found their home in the Cracked Stone, and the Ghost -- slowly -- grew in strength...
The news spread of the tragic defeat of the Insignificants, and those nearby suddenly attacked those whom had killed them. This Band of Creatures did win, but not without a cost. The ten Trainers who lived did not survive another day... but the Band of Creatures lost twenty-eight of its members. Those who died and were within the Band were buried... but the corpses of the Trainers were burned with their town.
The spirits fluttered away, towards their resting places... or so it was thought...

The lot flew into the Stone... and the Beast emerged for the first time.

It did unspeakable horrors to the land: It would infect those who were not stricken with Evil in their hearts and have them go mad, killing innocent ones within their own cities.
It would consume those lost to the ones it Infected.
It would put to sleep multitudes of Insignificants and Trainers, feast upon their Dreams, and have them never awake from them (unless Cresselia cured them).
It would ravage the land with its ghastly power, leaving behind remnants of its existance as bones...

And it would reproduce.

Those Spiritual Eggs which survived would be given birth into Stones similar to the one the Parent dwelled within. Then the newly born would eat off the excess spirits the Parent would feed them.
It would give them one-hundred and eight.
Once they had that amount, they would be fully mature, and would destroy the land with the Parent...
The Parent and its Children created their world to their liking, and formed themselves a base, known as the Hallowed Tower, due to their hallow souls and empty hearts...

Then came the day, when the Trainers and Insignificants cried unto Arceus for forgiveness. Their plea reached His ears... He saw their terror, saw the death, saw them being wiped off the face of the planet by the Ghosts' combined powers...
But He did not help them. His heart had grown cold against those He had created, and He thought the best way for the future generations to learn from this was to experience it, and fear it. (I praised my Master ever more for this.)
But, as cold as a heart He had, it was not immune to Them. Eventually, after many Moons passed, Arceus descended unto the Earth and commanded the Ghosts to return into their Stones... and remain trapped there for all time.
And just as easily as He had descended, the Ghosts vanished. Their rampage was over, and the Trainers and Insignificants glorified master Arceus and promised to amend their ways.

But Master Arceus had other plans.

Seeing the destruction on the land He had created, and the vengeful hearts of the Insignificants and Trainers, he wiped their memories clean, and baptized their hearts with purity, so that whenever a new Trainer or Creature was born, it would be the Parents' responsibility to grow the child with a loving heart. (I tried to veto this from ever occurring, but My voice was lost to the stronger one of my Master's... He did, however, keep a small tint of their Evil in them, so to not have a fully cleansed world, as it is such, a perfect place can never exist except in the Above...)
After that, Regigigas was born to split the Sinnoh continent into smaller, more significant continents, and it has remained so till this day.

Whatever became of the Ghosts? Most of them have been lost in the Underground. Only a chosen few have unearthed their burial places...
But others still thrive above. Though encased in their Stones -- named today as Odd Keystones -- they can be brought back to life in their now-crumbled Hallowed Tower, near the Lost Tower of the souls of the deceased. However, whenever they are re-summoned to life, they lose much of their original Power, as it, the souls, was drained from them completely, leaving behind nothing more than a miniature, non-life threatening Ghost.
The Ghost, which few know of, are called Spiritombs. They were investigated upon modern scientists while still contained in their Keystones, and were found to once encase spirits in the Keystone; their tomb. Thus, the name was given. But the true horrors of the Ghosts will not be remembered amongst these Trainers today... a fortunate thing, in their case, an unfortunate one in Mine.

I have heard that one of the resurrected Ghosts has found a new host... One named Cynthia, in Sinnoh... She is said to have claimed one after hearing the rumors of the Keystones and the Hallowed Tower. But few dare to do the same as she, as they hear the Ghost had no weaknesses to speak of.

Such a strange thing, Spiritomb... I would have gladly joined forces with it had I been given the chance... but, my duties lie elsewhere. And I know my Master's strength. I would have not gotten out of the situation alive. I would never turn on my Master... Never...

The Nights of the New Moon continue, and so will my search for my perpetrator, and my feasting upon the dreams of thee...
Until we meet again...

Oh, and with the Begotten Ghost, Spiritomb... There are some little-known facts of it, which I have so thoroughly kept to myself since it, the Ghost, was Forbidden to the Mortal World...
What I noted was that the Ghost has many connections to the number one-hundred and eight.

The Ghost could only be kept away whence a Trainer or Insignificant chimed a bell 108 times, thus warding away the 108 spirits dwelling within the Ghost.
The Eggs, when kept by a Trainer, hatch in 7,680 steps -- subtract 7 and 6 with one another respectively, you end up with 1... for 180.
The "Base Stats," as they are called by Trainers, for the Ghosts' defensive and special defensive sides are 108.
It weighs approximately 238.1 pounds... When converted, it is 108 kilograms.
And possibly the most astonishing and coincidental of these, as the Trainers know nothing of the Ghosts' connection to the number: It is, in the Sinnoh Pokedex, number 108.
Some facts to keep in mind, from My Brilliance.

My Darkness is most powerful to-night...
And it is tonight I will find the Criminal...
and, at the same time,
consume thine soul...

Assist Trophy

Indeed... I saw those earlier, and at first I thought it was a grand idea. (This is probably one of my new favorite posts, since Zelda's introduction and Groudon in the Pokeball.)
...But then, I thought that perhaps this is an easy way to sneak out characters from the Smash roster. If before we thought the roster would be huge, this definately, definately cuts it down.

Hammer Bro: One of the Assist Trophy's summonables.
Don't bother fighting against these guys -- they're invincible! Just run away!

It's not that I'm on bad terms with this... It's just that this gives characters, like Geno, Diddy Kong, even Ridley or Midna or King Dedede, less of a chance to be seen on the actual Brawling floor. Instead, they'll be introduced as cameos and nothing more... which is better than nothing, I suppose. (As for Pokemon, they've got the Pokeballs.)

Nintendog was actually an Assist Trophy item!

I really don't know what to think on this just yet, until I see some other character faces for this... Samurai Goro was a fan-favorite of many F-Zero fans for Brawl, and seeing him as this Assist Trophy kind of makes me lose hope for any of my favorite characters to make it in.

Samurai Goro: Another Assist Trophy summonable.

Thoughts?

Quote from Shrukan

Hmm yeah. I know someone told me you could play Gamecube games on the Wii.

Of course. It's almost like how the DS can play both DS games, and GBA games... or how Game Boy Advance could play GBA, and GBC/GB games. Kind of like that.

As for older Nintendo games, what you need is a Wi-Fi Connector, and a working internet connection (you have to stick the WFC on a port in the back of your PC/laptop, and connect it via internet after installation... pretty simple process). Also, to play the VC games, you have to "buy" them with Wii Points... You can either get them from the Wii's internet catalog (called "Wii Shop Channel"), or you can get them at your local store. They cost $20 for 2000 points... 1000 points for Nintendo 64 games, 500-800 for games for Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Nintendo, etc. Great stuff. They don't have Super Smash Bros. for it yet, though.

As for a Wind Waker remake, that would be AWESOME (awesome being an understatement). I would certainly go all out just to buy that!... Though, if it's just for Wii-remote purposes (as Twilight was released for GameCube, and Wii, with different functions for both versions), I may reconsider... but hey, WW is a great game. I wouldn't mind using the Wii Remote with it either, I suppose. Yeah. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The Discovery...

...
...

On the night before the New Moon, the day when I make my Rise to Power... I met with my most Mortal of Enemies. Cresselia.

She flies into my home the day after She is... called to. We meet in secret. No one was to know of our existance that night, as I strictly ordered the Drifloons and Drifblims carrying the message to Her to never utter a word to anyone about My request -- though I'm sure they have no more knowledge of it, just as an unwary Trainer being stalked by an invisible ghost would be.

She knew what I would ask; She responded without hesitation, not pointing out anything dealing with Me calling Her to my island. It didn't strike Her as strange in the least. In fact, one might say that She was... comfortable... with the environment, as if She had been here before...
What She told me was of no surprise: She was fulfilling the role She was made to do. Cure the Trainers and Insignificants of my deadly NightMares and Bad Dreams... Simply doing Her sole purpose in life.
I didn't buy such a thoughtless explanation.
I demanded Her to tell me everything She knew about My perpetrator. Being a wanderer of the night as I, She must have come across something... anything... that night.
She only looked at me, almost in a pleading manner. I wasn't sure what She meant by that -- I still do not understand it, even now. Whether She was pleading for Her life because of my rising anger... or just because of the fact that She knew the truth all along... I still do not know. I prefer to think She was scared of losing Her life to me... but it is hopeless to deny what was shown before me. Because after She stood silent for that moment -- a mere moment in time -- She explained everything She knew.

It started the night I was framed. She had caught sight of an Evil Entity's aura -- much like my own -- entering Turnback Cave. Cresselia knew of my Pact with Giratina, and She knew I would not break it, though She was unsure whether it was me or not. She continued her night's work without so much as a second thought...
The following day, She heard of my problem, and suspected that whomever it was that entered Turnback Cave was definately not me, knowing the noble and cunning Beast that I am. So, She went to investigate the situation... out of her sympathy for me, I suppose, which I find disgusting... during the Morning Hours. It was unusual for Her to do such a thing, travel in broad daylight where She could be so easily spotted and captured.
The night came sooner than expected, and She was lost with clues. There was nothing on this Dark Entity -- all She had was picked up the sense of its aura. Eventually, after traveling long enough, She cured the Trainers and Insignificants and went home.
Eventually, the night came when She tried again. And that was the night She ran into me, mistaking me for the perpetrator because of My similar Aura to its. Knowing full-well how I would react, She pretended to continue Her route, just so I wouldn't catch on to Her new behavior. The night ended, but She pressed on till midday, where She gave up her search...
Before dusk, She tried once more. During these hours, the gossip among the Ghosts had picked up (as they fear Her Feminine Goodness) and they told the information to Giratina. Giratina knew of Cresselia -- he was on no good nor bad terms with Her, really -- but he knew of Her daily schedule and kept this in mind.
She found something after the dusk hour had ended. A cave, tucked away near the base of Coronet, and hidden in Shadows. She found it was because She could sense an Entity residing inside. The Aura which matched mine.

And what She told me next astonished me.

She found... Me.

Of all Creatures, dwelling in a cave! She found Me... supposedly sleeping with the surrounding Darkness. Though She found it as very odd for me to sleep during the night, She left it be.
Later, She caught eye of me doing my usual routine, just as alive and awake as I normally am during these times. So She returned to the cave but for a moment -- and found it was empty. Whomever was in there before had surely left after Cresselia's first entrance. Since then, Cresselia has been keeping an eye on the cave for the return of the Creature whom lurks there, but has been unsuccessful.
After that, I called for Her to my island, and it is now where our past meets present.
She left me to soak the information told, saying that everything She said was complete in truth and She had left nothing out. Then, with the whistling of the wind and the chiming of her Crescents, She ascended into the air and went back to her Fullmoon.

I do not understand it. It is unbelievable! A Creature? The same as I? There is no possible way a Ditto could shift itself into me exactly... There is always a flaw in their designs... But Me! She was sure of it! There were no lies in Her tale.
It isn't that I am frightened of this Truth, as strange and unbelievable as it is. It is just coming to grips with it, that something would have the NERVE to be me, and then try and shatter my pact with Shadow Master Giratina... It is a very bold and evil deed, possibly something I would do had I been a Ditto with a Black Heart... But for a Ditto to try and overthrow my status! It is unacceptable.

Tonight, when the New Moon arises and I am at my strongest... I will find this Creature. And I will have my revenge on it for ever taking My name in vain!

Ahh, yes...
The New Moon draws so near tonight...
I cannot wait to feast...
So horrid plans do I have for thee first... before the Creature suffers...

Mehh... In my personal opinion, it looks nothing more than Super Mario Sunshine (or Super Mario 64 for that matter) in Space. Though that's just an early assumption... I have yet to see any newer videos.
All I know is, I'm not too worried about this game till I get my hands on Pokemon Battle Revolution, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Godzilla: Unleashed.

But. From what I've seen, it appears to be very different from its previous entries, and will certainly turn out to be the best so far. Other than Yoshi's Island (Super Mario World 2), I can't really think of a stage that's been gravity-defying.

So. The person who translated is named SAMURAIPANDA, and he is from the Nintendo Forums. Just to give credit.

Just to start up rumors... I've heard from fellow forums that Sakurai will be releasing the entire Character Roster before the game's initial release (supposedly a new character every week since Zelda's entrance). It was from one of his translated journal entries.

The Messengers...

...
...

It has been a while since this last happened.
I encountered my Rival, Cresselia, whilst moving on through my usual route. We never spoke a word to each other. My hands quivered in excitement; it was an almost unbearable feeling just to shoot Her down, especially during the Nights where I am gaining power. She noticed whom I was and paused, levitating in Her spot for only a moment. But then, She silently whisked by me as if I did not exist.
Her strange action could be due to the Bad Dreams I had already inflicted upon several Trainers earlier. Her life is about saving Them, and seeing Them suffer is something She would rather not want. But to meet me during such a night... It would have ultimately been consequential in her case.
I wonder not on the ordeal. I simply go where I am intended to go, into the Dreams of the Trainers and their Companions... to cause more pain, suffering, chaos... in a realm where no one -- but I -- can reach.

After the night was finished, I returned to my humble Newmoon for a day's rest. By now, the Drifloon and Drifblim were awaiting me. You see, whenever the night passes into day, the Messengers as they are called go to Her's and Mine's homes and await orders from us, because We would have no way of summoning them. So... they summon themselves, by order of master Arceus. It has been a continuing trend... like the pact between Giratina and I, which has been so abruptly broken by an unknown one...

The Messengers first started appearing after the first natural deaths in the World. The Spirits of the Deceased were restless. They did not want to live forever in either the Above nor the Netherplace. To avoid this, they are given two choices: One is to either go to the Above or the Netherplace, depending on the deeds you have done in your life: positive, you go to the Above; negative, you are sent to the Below, the Netherplace... The other choice is to become a messenger for others, to eternally serve the needs of those who require long-distance partners to far away lands. To eternally be a messenger... to forever serve the needs of others. It may sound like a choice one can easily regret. But, whenever you've been recruited into the Group of Messengers, your mind is erased and your entire being is transformed. You become a Pokemon -- whether you were once Trainer or another type of Pokemon, it matters not. Your life is to send messages across the world, and to keep your route for as long as you live.... unless you are captured, which often happens, especially on the sixth day of the week, Friday. However, only one Drifloon or Drifblim is allowed to be captured every Friday, and they are normally sent to Sinnoh... to a Windworks Factory, to await capture. This can sometimes draw numerous crowds. However, recently, Drifloon- and Drifblim-training Trainers have been giving away the Eggs to awaiting Trainers, so the problem has long since dissolved.
The Messengers carry their messages through Word of Mouth -- whatever is said by the actual Messenger has to be entirely memorized, however long it is. I've heard tales of Drifloons and Drifblims that have completely remembered messages that took almost a week's worth to say. I believe such messages come from gossip, or news to television studios in larger cities in the World.
The key is to their empty minds. As their names suggest, they are like balloons -- you fill them with air, and when the air is expelled, you can fill it again. The words fill their empty minds (they have more than enough space to store), then whenever they finish their messages, they lose all thought of it and go off to be restored again by words.

Strange creatures, those Messengers... You can see them almost as commonly as Wingull now. They always stay somewhere in the clouds, hidden away from spotting Trainers, above storms, and anything else that could be life-threatening on the ground to prevent them from completing their task... I have yet to hear of a Messenger that has failed to accomplish a mission.

Now, the Drifloons and Drifblims before me are waiting for me to choose. I pick one of them, and send off the others. Whichever one I pick carries my message to whomever I please... To the ends of the Earth, to the gates of the Netherplace. It is their mission.

Now, I choose one... A Drifloon this time... to carry a message for me. To Shadow Master Giratina. I will request a meeting with him, dealing with Our contract that has yet to be broken... though this time, I will be the one inviting him.

Until that time, may I seize thee in my grasp, to forever Torment... until the mind reels with the occurance of Death, and the eternal Slumber...

The Unknown...

Earlier... I called for Shadow Master Giratina to my beloved Newmoon. As I suspected, he was far from obliged to accepting my invitation, but he did so none the less...

We met that following evening. I awaited him patiently... I could feel his energy traveling over the ocean, towards my residence.
He appeared before me in a whisp of black air, his aura deepening, swirling, then disappearing. He had arrived in secret -- no one was to be aware of his presence here.
I started our conversation in the usual manner. How are things at Turnback... Any suspicious activity as of late...
Then I asked. About the night when I supposedly entered Turnback. He glared at me, that Giratina. It was apparent he had not forgiven "me" of the incident. I wonder why he is so strict on the matter...
Whence he had finished some rageful sentences, I told him about my visit to master Arceus, and informed him that the Original One had no information for me... but that he was aware of the situation. Giratina did not say anything. His eyes were a deep crimson and it was difficult to extinguish hatred from belief. But, eventually, he accepted the answer and snorted, displeased. He was not so much upset for blaming me for the incident, oh no. It was the fact that he was fooled -- he had been played with. It could have been possible, I stated, that whomever entered his cave was trying to break the current relationship I had with the Shadow Master. I don't understand why he or she would do such a thing, especially against the Shadow Beast and I.
Giratina nodded as his response, adding on the fact that whomever it was that entered the cave must have been a shiftshaper -- because it has the same dark form and essense of I. This was quite the shock to me, as I haven't come across anything with an Evil matching my own. The only Creatures both the Basilisk and I know of to transform are Ditto and Mew... but what would those simple Creatures want with us? And now, of all times? It could have been possible that I had afflicted a certain Creature with a NightMare, and they swore revenge against me... How foolish! If this is true, I swear unto the master's cross that I shall never leave the one be! Damned are those who follow it!

Giratina and I had more discussion after that, simply accepting the fact that neither was in the wrong, and only talking about any rumors that had been afloat since the incident.
Then Giratina mentioned Her.
He said that She -- Cresselia, my Mortal Enemy -- had been in an off schedule as of late. Such reports come from the wandering Ghosts of the night, whom noticed Her skimming the skies in search. Whatever She could be searching for, it matters to me not. However, it does spark my curiosity. My Mortal Enemy, acting so strangely since the day I had been framed... She could have some possible connection to the ordeal. But, for now, I shall have to wait and see.
Giratina left without another word of the ordeal, only saying that if I wanted to find out about Her, it would be in my best interest -- and my best interest only -- to summon Her to my island. I scowled at the thought! Having Her infect my island with her presence? It's treason! I would never be caught dead with Her in my sight!
...But, maybe I am being too naive about it. Such a serious situation, and all I can do is complain without action. I am Darkrai Darkurai, the Pitch-Black Prince of Evil! The time of the New Moon draws near, and I still haven't found the criminal of Giratina and I, whom almost so foiled our beloved companionship.

...It could be... in my best interest to summon Her. It's not that I am interested in anything else She has to share, definately not. But I must... be becoming so desperate as to call to her. To sound like a begging dog waiting to be put out of its misery... It truly is disgraceful.
...
But She might know something. She might. And if She does, the information could help me capture and punish this new adversary!
It isn't as if I am forming a companionship with Her. She is but a splinter in the side now. Her powers are weakening by the days' passings... I will be at nearly full strength by the time She arrives to me. She will be begging for mercy...
Don't kill me...
Darkrai, show me mercy...
Please...
I beg of thee...
How I so wish to hear these words from Her mouth! I will ruthlessly destroy her, on my on inhabitance...

But where would the honor be in that? To kill Her when I am at full strength... I have always dreamed about annihilating Her when the New Moon and Full Moon are halved... so that our powers are truly equal. A duel, lasting whenever a failure is proclaimed! Yes... That is how I have invisioned it...

I shall wait until that day to smite Her from the face of this pitiful planet. For now... I will just summon Her... Yes. Summon her... like a slave to the master, when the slave's strength has nearly depleted... It pleases me to hear that.

I will return in one night's time with anything. Perhaps I will extract something useful from Her for once in Our lives.
It matters to me not either way.

Until then...

Not really. He's a goof and is weird in his own way, but nver like this. Besides, I hate the Warioware games, I don't want the Warioware Wario in brawl. I want the REAL Wario, the one with purple and yellow.

Perhaps he's more mature in the actual gameplay. Right now, they've only introduced SOME of his moves. Can't really assume much off of those, right? It's like saying Zelda's weak because we've only seen pictures of her doing standard moves, or saying that Mario's going to be super-strong just because we've seen him use his Final Smash in the first trailer.
Pretty much, just be patient with Wario. I'm sure Sakurai wouldn't want to make him look like a total fool.
