Because Lugia>Russian girlfriend.

Also, there are simpler (and easier) ways to get laid =D
Are you suggesting I should just have sex with the figurine?

Gold and Silver are easily the best Pokemon games and I have them, will it really be worth it to get the same game again with some minor improvements? It's tempting but I also feel like I shouldn't, it was only awesome when you could battle other people and trade and stuff, none of my friends play it anymore so I don't feel it's really worth it.

However the figurines are sweet.

Silver was and is the shit, so I'm definitely getting SoulSilver. Hell, w/ the inclusion of the Lugia figurine, I might pre-order it. But I'll be 18 at that point, so is that a bit odd that I'll be doing that just for a Pokemon figure?

Preorder Pokemon Gold & Silver Remakes for Cool Figurines



Do you feel like getting your hands on some nifty-looking figurines of the two legendary bird Pokemon, Ho-oh and Lugia? Then you'll have to pre-order Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Oh, like you weren't going to already.

Hey, in case you missed it, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver - remakes of one of the most beloved generations of Pokemon games - are hitting the West this March. But you hadn't missed it, had you? Please, you were going to get them anyway.

But in case you weren't yet sold on getting the shiny new versions of the best Pokemon generation until Diamond and Pearl came out, how's this to sweeten the deal: Anyone who preorders one of the games will get a little figurine made by Japanese toy company Kaiyodo [http://www.kaiyodo.co.jp/] (best known to otaku as the makers of Revoltech figurines). Naturally, they're the pocket monsters seen on the games' respective covers: SoulSilver gets you Lugia, while HeartGold nets you Ho-oh.

Now, I don't know. I was going to get HeartGold myself, but that Lugia is kind of swaying me in the direction of SoulSilver now. It's a tough call.

Maybe I'll just get both and make them fight.

I was thinking the exact same thing...
Of course, what I'll prolly do is just go ahead with Gold since everyone I know is getting silver, then give the figure away so that I feel generous, rather than feeling cheated.

Haha that's pretty cool.
But I do not play Pokemon, partly becuase it's for children
Mostly becuase I do not have a DS.

OT: Meh... I liked Gold better but that Luiga I soooooo rad.

No, I suggest you spend your money on the figurine and actually make some effort to get a girlfriend who speaks the same language as you.

Getting both. Soul Sliver in a pinch where I can't get both, because in a battle Lugia>>>>Ho-oh.
Oh it's on!

Ho-Oh uses fireblast

Critical Hit


OT: Damn, I want these games so bad. Why haven't I been blessed with a DS yet!?
Lugia uses Hydro Pump!

It's super effective!

Super Effective>>>>>Critical Hit. Because Super Effective is based on luck.

Also, note that Lugia can learn the move Psychic, and as a psychic/flying type, gains a "same type attack bonus" (STAB), increasing the damage. But it is still more of a defensive fighter.
Is that SE based on luck sarcastic? It's hard to tell.

I'm looking forward to these games because it means celebii will finally be released outside of Japan for once.

Actually, I meant to put ISN'T. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ooookay. You're taking a stupid joke way too seriously.

Well, I'd get the Gold remake, mainly because that's the version I had.

Now all I need is a DS...
Damn my lack of money.

Man, I am so damn sick of people who just write pokemon games off as kiddie/say they're all the same. For ****'s sake, The Legend of Zelda follows a formula, and the Pokemon games do too, BUT THEY DONT NEED GIMMICKS. As for kiddie, just because it's not overly violent doesn't make it not hardore. Think about it. You can already fill your pokedex in the 4th generation. HG/SS are catering right to the fanbase, most of whose longtime true fans love the 2nd gen best. So please: If your not a fan, don't be a hater.

OT: Soul Silver ftw.

I was already going to get Soulsilver, but the figurines have made me pre-order it now.

The Pokemon series has always been great. Even when it started getting into some of the ridiculous amounts of Pokemon, it was still fun.
