Nintendo Remaking Pokemon Gold/Silver?
- Thread starter Keane Ng
- Start date
Oh god... I think I had a nostalgia-gasm.
If this really happens, then so many hardcore Pokemon fans(both old and new) will flock to the stores to get it. As soon as they announce a date for the US release, I'm swarming to GameStop to reserve my copy and get a DSi.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS HAS MADE ME!
I'm sorry, I don't usually go all caps, but Gold/Silver were my FAVORITES! I never had a better Pokemon experience than I did with my Gold version. I had an Eevee that kicked ASS.

Where is this "Keane" you speak of? We shall destroy him together! For Eevee is amazing, and that shall not be denied!CantFaketheFunk said:
I was actually going to post this up too because I was hearing rumors all day about it. While I played Pokemon Yellow first, there is always a special place in my heart for Silver/Gold.Keane Ng said:Nintendo Remaking Pokemon Gold/Silver?
Get ready to catch 'em all yet again, as it seems that Nintendo's planning a remake of the much-loved second generation of Pokemon games: Gold and Silver.
Though most of the Poke-nostalgia among non-series hardcores is probably directed toward the first generation of games (Red/Blue/Yellow, if you forgot), the second generation of games, Gold/Silver, has quite the reputation among diehard Pokemaniacs. So it's no surprise that Nintendo's teasing a remake of those games. That and they already remade Red and Blue, so they can't really do it again (yet).
It's not totally official, but this is one of those things where it might as well be. Pokemon Sunday, a Pokemon variety show of sorts in Japan (they really do love Pokemon over there), announced on its last episode that they would be making a big reveal next week, featuring a "worldwide first announcement and a worldwide first big scoop." During the preview for next week's episode, two party balls appeared on stage: one gold, one silver.
At the same time, two Japanese gaming magazines are reporting to have scoops on the same announcement, and will be revealing the info after the show airs. One of the magazines, CoroCoro, was the first to unveil Pokemon Platinum last year.
Finally, as Siliconera [http://www.siliconera.com/2009/05/03/pokmon-goldsilver-remakes-coming/] notes, the promotional art for the newest Pokemon movie features the three starter Pokemon from Gold/Silver: Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil. New figures of those three Pokemon are also being released in Japan later this year, so there's that too.
Just like with Red/Blue, I wasted an ungodly amount of time in my more carefree days on Gold/Silver/Crystal, and I'd be glad to do it all over again, especially if there's some neat functionality with the newer games and DS(i) and Wii. Just don't force me to have to play My Pokemon Ranch to unlock Koffing or Psyduck, and I'll be happy.

There are so many things you have to factor into a Pokemon battle. I don't understand how anyone could have the time or the patience to play Pokemon competitively.Onyx Oblivion said:
I personally loved Gold and Silver, but do we really need to remake it? I mean, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum are all pretty fun. Sure there are WAY too many Pokemon (493, to be exact), but each iteration of Pokemon has moved the series forward Why would we want to step back?
Well, that's why many people use emulators like Shoddy Battle [http://shoddybattle.com/], because it has all the fun of battling, without the tedium of raising them with the IV breeding and EV training. You can choose any pokemon for your teams, but you generally have to use the official rules of site like Smogon [http://www.smogon.com], to keep battles balanced. If your opponent is using stuff like Blastoise, its unfair for you to be using Mewtwo. That's why the tier system was invented.Internet Kraken said:

Flareon is my favorite, with Vaporeon second, and Glaceon third, Espeon fourth, Leafeon fifth, Jolteon sixth, and Umbreon seventh. Eevee itself is #0, because without Eevee, none of them would exist.

i'll buy it.
i've been dead to the pokemon series ever since i left my gold in an esky and not only did it remove my save... it got rid of its ability to save. i didn't BAWWW but i wasn't happy about it.
so the rest of my days have been spent saying 'why hasn't this series died yet?' and saying 'I DON'T LEIK YOU!' to people dressed up as mudkip... which only happened once... and i don't regret it.

Hope it has a better trade-from-advance thing than P/D/Pt did... I don't want to have to catch every Pokemon just so I can trade over six or seven.
