are you talking about walking into the gym and going up another room where the screens slants slightly, and it appears as if NOTHING is in that area?

I think I checked that room the least. I do remember walking all around the little maze, from top to bottom, left to right.
Do i have to click on the trainers, or do i just run into them, and they spring into action?

Only difference is a subset of Pokemon is exclusive to each version... either way, to complete your pokedex you'll have to trade with someone with the other cart.

I know that in Diamond/Pearl, you can transfer your Pokemons from your Gameboy Advance games once you have completed your Pokedex however, does anyone know if there's any way to transfer Pokemons from the Red/Blue games on the original Gameboy to the Nintendo DS games? Is this even possible?

16 hours ..... 5 badges, at least my Torterra is level 50.
I probably should be using some of the others since the rest of my team are all under level 30 and thank goodness for Exp Share and the Daycare

Just started playing myself... Only about an 1 1/2 hour into it. Does everyone keep 6 pokemon with them at all times? I have 5 and trying to level them all up, but not sure if that is the best strategy.

I've been keeping 6 with me, but have found a couple times when I capture a wild Pokemon and it gets sent to storage I would rather be able to level it without going back to town and moving them around. I think I'm going to try 5 for a while and see how it works.

Play time is theoretically unlimited, since there's a lot to do even when you "beat the game". When I last played Pokemon Sapphire I think my playtime was something on the order of 98 hours, and that was after a couple of restarts.
I'm 10 hours in on Pokemon Diamond and just got my second badge.

How does the union room work? Some say it is only for DS to DS and other say it is for use over the net but you need the other persons friend code.
Can anyone that has got this work explain it to me?

Wow, I'm hooked on this. I don't know why, most of the reviews say this doesnt really bring anything new to the table. I haven't even tried trading or playing online yet. 16 hours in, 5 badges.

My wife and I decided to get these games for our two oldest for their birthdays this Summer. We went to Wal*Mart to get the games with the bonus DS Lite case.
They rang up at $27.99 a piece (the one at 281 and 1604).
We're giving Diamond to our son (9 in June) and Pearl to our daughter (7 in August).
They'll have to use our DS Lites until we get them their own systems for Christmas.
Anyways, the game is $27.99 at our Wal*Mart.

YMMV at Walmart, though, since they often have local and regional sales and pricing, depending on what the competition is. I'm a little surprised that they'd lower the price this week, since the CC sale is over...
Bought the Nintendo Power guide, which is usually pretty good, but this time they seemed to intentionally leave out important information so they can sell a second pokedex guide. Urgh. They list all the pokemon, but they don't list the levels they get move and other important information. What's frustrating is that the three starters all have detailed entries at the beginning of the book.
Also forgot that you need badges to get traded pokemon over a certain level to obey you. So after doing the mix and match to get all the starters, none of them would obey me and I have to wait to get the second gym badge (grass) before they will (up to level 30, at least). The worst part is that I assumed that they didn't obey me because they just weren't used to me... a few hours after leveling them up by constantly switching them out, they still weren't listening, and I finally went to an FAQ to find out why.
