Pokemon Gold & Silver Remakes Tear Up Charts

[milomalo]

i wanto those games right now!

 

[hypothetical fact]

The games have barely changed since gold and that was only a stat change from red/blue, and red/blue were the same game to begin with, and this game is a rehash of that same game. I refuse to call this "2 games" when the difference is the same as those event pokemon.

Wake me when players stop buying the same game, forcing Nintendo to finally make a real time 3D pokemon game.

 

[messy]

I'd go so far as to say that the only people who don't like Gold and Silver are either crusty old fogies who swear that there were only ever 151 Pokemon and as such are missing out on awesome 'mons like Houndoom, Blaziken, and Empoleon, or Communists. No exceptions.

Possibly my new favourite quote. Really cannot wait for these games. And it is indeed all about Blaziken; not only is it a chicken, not only is it a chicken that can throw punches and kicks...it's on fire

 

[Witty-Name]

Currently waiting for my Japanese copy of Heart Gold to find its way to the UK.
I'm very interested in this game, especially the PokeWalker peripheral since my employment requires me to spend a lot of time on my feet and the idea of level grinding pokemon whilst I'm at it appeals.

Say what you damn well please, Funk, but every pokemon after 151 is a wretched and filthy stain upon the universe, an abomination against nature.

My Alakazam looks with scorn upon all of your pokemon, destroying them with hyperspeed psychic might.

Gardevoir.

Superior.

I definetely loved Gold the most out of my collection of Blue, Gold, Sapphire, Diamond.

I got Blue, Silver, and Crystal from my friend though.

(I didn't put Silver and Crystal in the first sentence because I used my favourite from that generation of Pokemon games).

I may get this game.

 

[The Cheezy One]

they were good
just when we got bored of the original 151, we get another 100 + the originals!
but then there was series 3, and 4 and 5, and we didnt get all of them
i just dropped it

also, everyone used to have the opposite of me
i had red, silver, sapphire,
they had blue, gold and ruby

 

[randommaster]

or Communists. No exceptions.

That is a low hit man. Very low.

OT: I'm glad. These are my dirst and favorite pokemon games. I can't wait to get hold of them here.

I was about to respond with something else but I see your name and I get it now.

PS. I'M SO FREAKING STOKED FOR THIS THAT I"M HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY TO TYPE THIS ALL ATM!

Dude, it's called CAPS LOCK.

Caps lock is saved for events that aren't this awesome.

I held shift to show my support.

Well, in this case I guess you need super caps, but since CAPS LOCK and SHIFT give you lowercase letters, just turn the font sive up to eleven seventy-two

That beret wearing wedding dress has got nothing on the 'Zam. For all the power it might possess (Less, technically, than 'Zam), it simply lacks the speed and control of the worlds smartest pokemon (In canon worth reading, anyway. Screw all these supersmart legendaries). It's faster, more destructive and knows moves that can Obliterate almost any comer. Those fools who praise Gardevoir for its defensive 'superiority' are ignoring the simple fact that 'Dead Mon Don't Fight Back'.

Also, come on, Alakazam is by far the coolest looking of the two. Look at this hombre.

You see what those are? What are they, funk? Those are spoons, man. Spoons. Alakazam is going to knock you senseless with goddamn spoons, and look badass while doing it. See that frown? He is not amused. See that moustache? Manly. That's what he is, Funk, manly. His feet even have claws, so he can hold onto the ground while he rocks the world. Gardevoir has half a circle impaling her, and eyes too large for her actual head.

While Tyranitar might, and I am loathe to admit it, beat Nidoking, when it comes to the sheer powerhouse of the mind, you won't be toppling Alakazam any time soon.

This post brought to you by the letter 'I Have Far Too Much Time And Need A Hobby'.

Not surprised. Those were the best in the series. They were actually worthy of a remake.

of the games, they all are fun, but diamond, pearl, and platnium are really where the series ends

You know, I'm not trying to provoke you or anything, but the SECOND I read this--and this is a terrible first post, forgive me--I thought:

"Someone must have been REALLY TICKED when they met Umbreon."

What's that? I can't hear you over the objective howls from Arcanine, Raichu and Me- no, that won't count, you'd cut me down for that. Arcanine and Raichu still stand, though.

Okay, Arcanine I can get behind. But Raichu? It's a fat brown mouse plugged into a mains supply. There's plenty of superior electric pokémon out there. I'd name Jolteon, but I've been known to field a team entirely made up of Eevee evolutions so I'm pretty biased in that direction... What about Electabuzz though?

Electabuzz? I'd tell you to get off my internet, but you wouldn't comply. Raichu's special is ridiculous. Get the surfing Pikachu, then evolve it into Raichu, give it reflect, thunderbolt, and either thunder wave or body slam, and you've got a damned monster on your hands.

I never was a fan of Electabuzz. Maybe Ampharos though.

If by Raichu's special being rediculous you mean having an absolute max of 306 with a beneficial nature, then sure, but im sorry to say that's actually pretty mediocre.

I've had starter pokemon with higher stats, Raichu sucks, and Electabuzz's Special Attack maxes out at 317.

Ampharos however, maxes out at 361, making the other two look like complete shit

 

[traceur_]

awesome 'mons like Houndoom

That and Espeon. Psychic Eevee? Hell yes.

I'm going to have to get one of these when it comes to the US. Even though I still haven't finished Diamond >.>;;

(p.s. Espeon is the best pokemon ever. No exceptions.)

Umbreon is way cooler.

Meh. I didn't really like those ones, Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald are the best ones, they had the best story. I might pick this up if I've got some spare change lying around.

 

[Svenparty]

I played the first games but then only gained interest again around the latest ones..Don't know if it's worth giving a try.

This Chart Ass ripping proves Pokemon Games are Laced with Crack.

 

[orangebandguy]

And rightly so. Silver was the only game I had 6 level 100 Pokémon, can't wait to re-Master the team.

 

[Christemo]

Not surprised. Those were the best in the series. They were actually worthy of a remake.

agreed. Pokemon Crystal (the same generation as gold and silver) still stands as an awesome game in my memory.

or Ampharos, that giant electro sheep. THAT was awesome.

no effing way, my lvl 100 Suicune will tear shit up. Suicune is so awesome, it was included in Brawl, and it had an insta-kill lazor.

 

[FiveSpeedf150]

...crusty old fogies who swear that there were only ever 151 Pokemon...

You rang?

Seriously, though, Red & Blue came out when I was in 5th grade. Let it go already!

Spoiler: *cough*

Yeh the originals are horseshit compared to the new ones.
