Team Enterprise is ready to go where no Pokemon has gone yet

Once more into the breeches, dear friends!
I picked up the new mystery dungeon game yesterday.
I <3
Just like my last game, I turned out to be a charmander. It's fate, I tell you. I picked Chikorita as my partner, for she was the only female available. No complaints there. So far, so good, and it has actually inspired me to begin my own mystery dungeon fic.
It'd be based off of Blue Rescue Team, and while parts of the story would change, I want to keep the majority feel for the series. As such, I will have goofy antics and dramatic twists. I'll also add my own little Pokescience to the whole ordeal, and give a pretty good insight into the life of living as a Pokemon who rescues Pokemon.
However, I want to do something different with the action. The way the missions are set up (Letter ranks all the way up to A and S), the way you can combine moves to create new ones, and just the whole feel of the setting make me want to do this a bit like Naruto. Rocks = Shuriken, Spikes = Kunai, Pokemon attacks = Jutsu, and combined Pokemon attacks = Special Jutsu. This was born from a thought of a charmander shouting "Fire style: Ember!" and then spitting several little dart-like fireballs remeniscent of Sasuke's Phoenix Fire. It won't be exactly like that, but it made me smile. It'll have a very anime feel to it, which will allow me to put rather silly things into it and still keep it serious enough to let it flow.
To put it simply, if Moat is Bleach, than this new story is Naruto/One Piece
I won't stop writing MoaT, though, as, ah, well, the stories... that'll be revealed later, I suppose. I'll try to keep a one-to-one, but it all depends on what I feel like writing at the time.
Now, as for the REAL Pokemon game, I want to find out who here has Diamond, Pearl, and/or Pokemon Revolution for the Wii. If you do, reply here with your code(s) so I can add you, the readers, into my crazy, crazy world.
While I have you gamers at attention, there is something else I want to bring up. It's true that, with TMs, there are set Pokemon with strengths and weaknesses above and beyond others. However, I propose we form our own little battle style; Natural Battles. In this form of combat, you can use any Pokemon, provided that they do not have any TM-acquired moves. If you want unique movesets, then breeding is encouraged to achieve their egg moves. If we keep it like this, then any Pokemon we use can be formidable in its own right, and I think it would be fun coming up with different strategies for how to use a Pokemon the way it was naturally meant to be used. Salamence would no longer know Earthquake, and Pokemon that do learn that move naturally usually come with a high price; a double weakness to grass and/or water. It makes ya think, doesn't it?
Tell me what you think when and if you add your code, and as always, I hope you enjoy the stories to come.

FA+

Still, I might give it a go sometime. I'd be interested to read a story about it in any case.
Also, I do have Pokemon Diamond, but it's gone missing much to my anger. *uses it for voice chatting almost every day* So I've got a backup working for now, but it obviously doesn't have anything worth battling as I'm too lazy to train anymore.
Love the idea of Natural Battles. Sounds like quite an interesting challenge.
Harder than I remember the first ones to be, but cool all the same. Ended up as Pikachu, and chose the only female partner too. Everyone who's asked to be on by team has been female too, which is odd. Fun game to waste time on~
