General Pokémon Thread

[Serza5]

According to this : http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co. ... hp?id=8316 There will be a gold/silver remake for the DS. I can't wait for it to come out. I've alway wanted this. It's only been confirmed in Japan though.

EDIT : SCREENSHOT!


UPDATE : Changed topic title to General Pokemon Thread

[Shawn]

YES! THIS IS THE POKEMON GAME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

yaaay

[Serza5]

The Japanese release is in Autumn so i'm hoping it will be released in the UK in December if not 2010.

[Holy Crap]

I'm looking forward to this.

[Shawn]

I'm just hoping there isn't any Wi-Fi exclusive Pokemon crap.

Actually, I hope you can't even use Wi-Fi for this. It would keep the game simpler less limited.

I sicken of Pokemon.

I don't remember wi-fi exclusive Pokémon in Diamond. What I really don't want is Pokémon you can only get through cheat codes. I really hate that, I don't want to buy a cheat system for a few Pokémon.

My DS can't connect up to wi-fi for some reason so i'm not really bothered if it has wi-fi. But knowing Nintendo they probably will put it in.

They're also saying you get to have your starter behind your trainer like what they did in Yellow. I'm not sure whether they'll evolve or not.

Soul Silver FOR THE WIN!!!

EDIT: oh wait you guys don't know that.... The gold remake is gonna be Heart gold and silver Soul Silver!!
But this can change at ANY time

[spiraldoor]

Nobody buy Heart Gold or Soul Silver. Wait for the Crystal remake instead.

[Serza5]

IF they make one, the only good thing about crystal in my opinion was the fact that you could choose to be a girl.

I was going to mention it but yeah..... I don't mind Soul Silver but Heart Gold is a crap name.

[Zay-el]

Never played a Pokémon game up to this point and frankly, I doubt I ever will. XD

[Shawn]

I'm getting Heart Gold. Ho-oh is so awesomely awesome.

And, weren't the names were Dawn Gold and Dusk Silver? (or vice-versa? Must of been fan-names. They were better! )

[Holy Crap]

You can find this sort of thing easily by going to Serebii or Bulbapedia.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver are the names, they've already made the logos. Gay names, I know, but it's what were stuck with. In any case, it should be good as long as they don't fuck it up. Gold/Silver was fantastic, so I'd expect the remakes to be at least as good.
I'll be getting Sould Silver. Lugio is way cooler than Ho-oh, plus Silver was the one I played as a kid.

Although, has anyone played the fan-made remake of Gold, Pokemon shiny Gold?

[Shawn]

I wanted to, but decided not to. I wanted to wait for a real remake to come out.

I'm getting Gold. It's the one I played as a kid, and his Sacred Fire is amazing!

BTW, I wonder what they're going to do with the Kanto region part. Now they have enough memory to make it pretty much completely identical to the original map.

[spiraldoor]

They should put the truck in it. The one near the S.S. Anne, that is.

[Serza5]

Gold was the game I grew up with too. I gave it away to my cousin years ago so I just play my Crystal rom. Not sure whether I want Heart Gold though. Lugia is the better legendary No doubt i'll get the cheapest version that's at the store when I go to buy it.

Anyway new screenshots and a vid : http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co. ... 93&start=0

I'm guessing the US will get it in Spring 2010, and Europe will get it in Summer.

No doubt i'll get the cheapest version that's at the store when I go to buy it.

I'm sure they'll be the same, if it was different for one then that would be a total scam.

My togepi used Sacred Fire once.
Anwyay,I'm inclined to think Dingodile is probably right about the release dates.
Of course, for those in the Southern Hemisphere it'll be Spring, Autumn, Winter.

[Shawn]

I don't see how Lugia is better.

BTW, Serza, I thought you said you didn't post any vids.

[Holy Crap]

I don't see how Lugia is better.

Just look at them. Plus, Psychic Types are way cooler than Fire Types.
Also, the pokedex does not make absurd claims about Lugioa, unlike Ho-oh, where the pokedex entries all say something about seven couloured wings, even though there are only three colours, and that's including white.
