I want this to be real, so much.

Pokémon Platinum: A Grad Student's Dilemma

So the semester is ending, I have three papers to write, I have comps to study for this summer, and I'll need to work full-time in order to have money to pay for rent and food. But, you see, Pokémon Platinum came out this weekend...

I know that I need to be strong. I have played every generation of Pokémon so far; I know what will happen; every game is the same. Rattatta is Sentret is Zigzagoon is Bidoof. I understand this.

But...this is the Crystal version of Diamond and Pearl. This is like...if they took Diamond and Pearl and combined them! It's a different version of the 5th generation of the same Pokémon game I've already played like eight times (Red, Blue, Yellow, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl)!

Ok, making sure I have all the generations:
Red / Blue / Yellow
Gold / Silver / Crystal
Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald
Fire Red / Leaf Green
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum

Anyway. Apparently to transfer Pokémon from Diamond to Platinum one requires 2 DSs in order to swap Pokémon (six at a time) via Wifi. And when I learned this I seriously considered, for a moment, sending an e-mail out to the grad department listserve saying "I need another DS to move my Pokémon from Diamond to Platinum. Does anyone have a DS I can borrow?" That thought occurred in my brain!

So, what do I do? Do I choose you, Pokémon? Or do I choose you, Schelling? Or can I has my Pokémon and my Schelling, too? Can I really stop playing Pokémon? What if I give up WoW to play Pokémon? Can I do that? Can I honestly not play Platinum?

Because...I WANT TO BE THE VERY BEST!!!!
