Sinse I consider Gold & Silver the best in the series, I like that it's been re-released. I doubt I'm going to buy it, however.

Yeah, damn that Youngster Joey. When is he going to challenge me to a rematch? I don't care that you think your rattata is special. I stomped its butt and I'd do it again.

I was always going to buy this, but now I definitely have to. Have to get a new DS first though. >_<
Oh well, anything for my beloved Pokemon, especially since it's a remake of my 2nd favorite game ever.

I got both copies because, fuck it, I knew I was going to get them both eventually. Although I haven't opened them yet, Shin Megami Tensei is far too addicting.

Time to borrow my friends DS again, it seems. Good to know that they're worth playing, though it has been quite some time since I picked up a Pokemon game.

Be proud, they're great games. Just because they've always been targeted to younger players doesn't mean they're not worth playing.

Just one question.. does this version of the game have Mankey in it? For some reason I've always loved Mankey. Heh

I'm really impressed / embarrassed that I recall who Youngster Joey is, and the Pokemon he uses. Hahaha

*sigh* I really want to like the Pokemon games, but having played several of the SMT titles (SMT 3: Nocturne specifically) before ever touching a pokemon game, I just cannot take the battle system. It's just too slow and too boring, and this is coming from someone who LIKES turn based systems.

He's rebattled me three times. I got three HP Ups. Mmm....HP Up...

OT: Pretty much exactly my sentiments. Gold/Silver had been the best in the series, but with the advent of Gen. IV mechanics and graphics, HeartGold/SoulSilver have definitely claimed their rightful spot. Hopefully they can keep it for another eight years.

I pre-oprdered SoulSilver and have played about 17 hours worth of it, it's awesome.

Youngster Joey keeps calling me about his goddamn Rattatta, like it's in the top percentage of Rattatta or something.

I like that certain trainers will give you evolution stones via phone call (a la Pokemon Crystal) because otherwise they're tough to get.

Fuck YES!! Joey needs to DIE!!! "My Rattata is like, the best Rattata, like he's in the top percentage of Rattata's. You know what I am saying?" Next call: "I tried to catch a Caterpie today, but I failed". Where's your top tier Rattata now, dumbass!?

I wasted so much time on Pokémon: Gold when I was a child. Good memories. Now, if only I had a Nintendo DS.
