hella bullets that's true
I almost pre-order Soul Silver on Amazon, then it hit me that I wouldn't get it on release day since there's no mail on Sunday. According to Amazon, I wouldn't get it until the 16th, even with release date shipping. So, it looks like I'm going to get this at Target.

I wonder what they'll have to give away in the Nintendo World event, besides a cool T-shirt.

That's how I am. My starter is always way higher and I slowly replace my team with higher level pokemon I catch. Rinse and repeat the whole way through.
Though, I'm also living the basic pokemon life. I never breed, train, or use items to increase my stats and I still favor moves that cause damage to moves like sand-attack. I've been playing since Blue and don't think I'll ever change. :lol

I actually bought both Gold and Silver when they came out, but I used Gold as my main game and so I will also be picking up Heart Gold next week.
I haven't played through Gold/Silver since they came out, and have forgotten a lot about them, so I'm definitely looking forward to playing through them again.
Starting to get excited.

Firestorm said:Gold -> HeartGold. Why? Because I'm a winner.
Was anyone aiming for Silver a the Olympics? I think not. They wanted Gold.
In the real world gold isn't a fire type and silver doesn't primarily shoot high pressure water.

Yeahah bitches, one week.
Other than a couple trades, I'm done with platinum. Gonna take this week off from pokemon so that it is extra awesome once I finally have SS!
Can't wait. Haven't been this hyped for a video game since Brawl, and I'm pretty sure this game will surpass that one

Word. Lugia looks like he was designed by Space Steve Jobs. Which is, of course, Steve Jobs who lives in space. It's like Lugia came from space just to fuck your shit up. Ho-oh looks like the Elton John of Pokemon. No offense to the piano man, I love me a little Tiny Dancer, but Elton has got nothin' on Space Steve Jobs.

Just pre-ordered Soul Silver. This better live up to the hype or I'm holding each and every one of you personally responsible.

Played every gen but 2. I did later get to play through the first town or so of a Japanese cart and watched someone else catch Hoh-oh (we called him Houou and pronounced it Ho-you-you :lol). I still call the home town Wakaba town and the starters Chikorita, Waninoko and Hinoarashi.Balb said:
4th gen is the best for me so far, with 1st coming a close second.

I don't see how the gold/silver/crystal gen could be 4th best. I thought it was agreed that Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald got that honor. I mean jeez half of the adventure was over water and the elite 4 had pokemon under level 50 because the adventure was so short! And Luvdisk!
perfectchaos007 said:
My personal rankings would be:
Gen 1 (FR/LG preferred)
Gen 3 (Emerald)
then Gen 2/4
Of course, I'm only ranking the games based on the adventure, and not stuff like battling. Otherwise I'd rate gen 4 as the highest.
I really like gen 3. Gen 2 brought on a ton of new ideas, but a lot of them weren't very fleshed out until gens 3 and 4. I can understand why so many people love it though. It's the last gen before the Pokemon craze died.
I could go into further detail, but yeah, I'd definitely rate emerald over g/s/c. The diving part did suck near the end, though. I'll admit that.
With that being said, I love all the Pokemon games, so it doesn't really matter how I rank them. They're all great.

So how does one go about getting both Palkia, Dialga and Giratina(sp? fucking weird names)
You get 1(respectively) in Pearl, Diamon and Platinum, and you can choose 1 out of 3 in HG/SS if you have Arceus.
Are there ways to get 2 out 3 in one game? What if you bring several Arceus to HG/SS?

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Diamond is missing Palkia. Pearl is missing Dialga. Platinum has all three.Metroid Killer said:

Oh Ok, so Giratina is exactly like Rayquaza being available in all 3 versions. For some reason I thought that Giratina was a new pokemon introduced at the launch of platinum since I didn't follow pokemon that close at the time. Thanks for the answer.Sixfortyfive said:

This. It's been about twelve years since Red and Blue were released in the US, and the craze has never died. It's had it's ebb and flow, but it has yet to die... unlike Digmon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and all of the other pretenders which have quickly come and gone.
I work at a tech and game store, and we found THIS posted on the "looking for group" cork board.
We felt it was awesome enough to post behind the counter for a while.

I have not played a pokemon game seriously since yellow and have decided to pick one of them up to play on the way home from the Muse concert. My friend is going with gold because he claims it is better, but he is wrong about almost everything so I am inclined to go with Silver but I don't know. This is like Sophies Choice ;_;
