I heard Manafi is the new "Ultra Rare" like Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi. Is that true? and, what type is it anyways?

On the one hand, I'm excited about the new system, NDS, for Pokemon, new Pokemon, new game, and using it with the other games. On the other hand, I am going to need to carry around my own pokedex soon to know what they all are. On the other, OTHER hand (third hand? where'd that come from...) I better start saving money, fast! : D

You're partly right Donny.
You can't get Manafi with just D&P alone. You need the upcoming Ranger game. You need to complete a quest in that Ranger game to luck some event to get Manafi. I don't know much about it, but that's what I know so far.
... I just looked into it some more. The quest in Ranger seems to be ulockable throgh a Nintendo event. Yeah, it sucks, but that's what it says. You get Manafi's egg from this quest and you can transfer it over to D&P
and Kevin!
That reminds me that the next time I see ya, I want to give you that guide.

Have they said if there is a third game for this new combo, like Yellow was or Emerald? Also, do you know what the total is for this new game? Does it have all of the old ones? They need a unified game to bring together everything since Ruby/Sapphire, Fire/Leaf, these games etc... they will have to make a GC game or a Wii game. And it needs to be online maybe to bring it together even more! That would be good. Too bad they couldn't have an internet server for the handheld, maybe they will.... also a site to make that work or forums or something. You know, it would be an online colosseum or trading center.

No word on a third game, but you saw how long it took for them to make Emerald, so they still might make one. I dn't know if you can get all the old ones in the games, but if not, you could always trade them from the old games.
They say D/P wiill be wi-fi, but nothing has been confirmed yet though.

My guess even though it may be wrong is that just like Fire/Leaf or Ruby/Sapphire, they will give you all the new Pokemon except maybe 1 or 2 release event or special ones, then some from previous generations, and have maybe an intercontinent trading thing for the others,.. how though? Hmm, maybe it will involve some kind of way to put stuff into Pokemon Box, then playing that on Wii, then going from Wii to DS. Playing this game would be cool on the Wii as with wireless you could also do multiplayer with someone on the TV someone on the DS, maybe. I look forward to how they change or keep the same system of combat also, I hope there is either no big change or they add in some new real-time stuff like timing, but if they keep the same combat thats fine with me.

With the DS's slot 2, they might let you transfer them from one game to another. I don't see how that would handle trades from gen 3 to gen 4 and back though. Also, if I were in charge things, I'd sell a GBA cart that stored Pokémon kinda like Pokébox, but portable! I mean if they drop the whole RPG and just use the cart for storage, that would be kool!
I don't think D/P will use Pokébox. That would mean they'd have to be programmed in there already and hackers would have leaked everything by now. They may make a new Pokébox 2 though!
===============================
Added with edit:
I added new info that serebii.net just released. I like the day and night thing and so did like 90% of everyone else, so I'm happy it's making a come back! The different sprites idea is kool too!

This new region sounds awesome and so do the new features like the return of night and day, and the breeding center monitor and type chart built in. And linking is always awesome. 16 player wireless linking! We will have to goto a Pokemon gathering of some kind, maybe theyll have a tournament or something. Now since the graphics seem to be made overhead 3d, that means it will take more file space to make the awesome looking towns and fields. So I guess this world will be about the same size overall as the ones in the past games, unless there are hidden regions maybe, and there will be new and old Pokemon and more features of course. Sounds really good.
