Pokémon Heart Gold/Superior Silver |OT|
- Thread starter Dabookerman
- Start date
March is so packed with releases unfortunately, I'm going to miss out on a lot because of money. Figures that almost every RPG I was interested in came out between February and March.:lol
So many indeed. I always end up buying every SKU somehow, but I love my DSi.

If you plan to transfer pokemons from the GBA games, then I'd suggest a DS Lite.

Yeah, but this only really holds true if you're an absolute Pokemon nut and really really need to have this feature.bernardobri said:
Considering all of the event Pokemon that have been distributed over the past few years, it's only a matter of time before you no longer need any GBA carts to catch them all.

Ok I guess this means that I most likely wont be able to get Arceus at Gamestop here in Denmark with my Japanese Heart GoldMagniHarvald said:

Will definetly work, as Wiseblade said I have used my american copies in the uk to receive all the special pokemon from instore events (darkrai, shaymin and regigigas)
The only one I had a problem with was shaymin, I tried to get one on american platinum but it wouldnt work, the game wasn't out in the uk yet so I assume thats why.

Fuuuuu I'm pretty much wasting hours on the Battle Tower in Battle Frontier. Ugh I've lost so many times in the 3rd round which meant that I used around an hour on 6 points only... ;_;
And fuck if my luck is just completely against me. Confused? Damage self again and again! Critical hits? No way, only for the opponment! I've lost two times against Palmer, where his last pokemon was down on around 50< HP left.... *sigh*
Feels like such a waste of time, though I admit that my battlin skills improve a lot.

Pokemon design beyond the first game is fucking ridiculously shit.

I can kinda understand where you are coming from, since I also had the same sentiment before picking up Heart Gold(only played Red), but after playing the game I've made a 180 degree turn and accepted the new designs. Besides a few awful designs(but gen1 had some as well) I really think it's the nostalgia talking.POWERSPHERE said:

Yeah I might want to do that later, but I just don't have the patience to raise a starmie up to lvl 50 now. And I've gathered 70 Battle Points just from getting lots of 3 BP today. If I had the needed BP right now I would probably never come back to Battle Frontier.Wiseblade said:

I say we keep up with each other once a week on how many steps taken with your Pokewalker. It could be fun.

575268 steps... and I only got 26.000 watts collected... 74.000 to go...red shoe paul said:I say we keep up with each other once a week on how many steps taken with your Pokewalker. It could be fun.
The PokeWalker is an awesome addition to the games, but it's absolutely crazy how much Watt that is needed for the later stages!
red shoe paul said:I say we keep up with each other once a week on how many steps taken with your Pokewalker. It could be fun.
I was excited about the Pokewalker until someone mentioned you can only level your poke up 1 level per walk. And then you have to transfer it back to your game and back to the pokewalker if you want to be able to walk enough to gain another level. Sounds like typical Nintendo making things an unnecessary pain in the ass
But if someone could clarify exactly how this works, that might be good. Hopefully I'm missing something

No that's pretty much how it works. 1 step = 1exp point, but can only gain 1 lvl and then you'll have to take it out and in again in order for it to gain more exp. Also pokemon don't learn moves/evolve/get EV stats, so it's pretty much just like giving your 'mon rare candy.EzLink said:
For me the Walker is great because it's easy(kinda) access to uncommon pokemon and items in the world of pokemon games which has been really great for my experience.
Yay amazon!
They updated my price to reflect the drop after an email, I have had a gold box discount since November, I had an ECA code in there too, and also applied the $5 gift certificate they just gave me after doing a survey on there Paypharse a few weeks back.

Its pal park 6 pokemon a day trade all over again! Nintendo love it.
OMG Aero said:
Haha thats awesome, technically im going to have 1 from my SS japanese version, 1 from my american HG and 1 from my Euro SS.
I never even thought about it till now.
Well, you can just hope Nintendo doesn't charge to much for replacement walkers. Though you may run into the problem of the game only letting you put one pokemon on a walker at a time.OMG Aero said:
Also, I am sure gamestop will take the walkers in by them selves, so maybe they will sell them back cheaply.

If I recall to get a new pokewalker costs half of the game's price in japan, and only 1 pokewalker can be connected to your game.Drkirby said:

Lugia and Ho-oh are in both games you know. It's only Kyogre and Groudon that are legendary version exclusives.ExtraKr1spy said:

I got the Japanese Soul Silver, so I'm gonna have to go Gold for the UK release. =)
Will I be able to get my Spiky Eared Pichu from my Japanese Silver to my UK Gold, or will it not transfer at all?

One is available normally. The key item used to obtain the other will be distributed via wi-fi eventually.Sagitario said:

Its a mixture really, most people prefer lugia over ho oh tho so silver is classed as the more popular version.
It's definitely a case of preference and nostalgia. Let's be honest here, they are the same game.MattKeil said:
The only difference is exclusive Pokemon but the list of them is so small and the Pokemon in the list aren't good enough to justify buying one game over the other, especially with online trading.
kyo_daikun said:
In all fairness, Ho-oh and Lugia are in both games. It's just a matter of whether you want Sacred Fire Ho-Oh (Heart Gold) or Aeroblast Lugia (Soul Silver).
Lugia is more popular, though I think that's because Pokemon the Movie 2000 hyped Lugia up a lot before g/s came out.
It's definitely a matter of nostalgia. The carts aren't even colored anymore, so it's not like you can be a proud owner of a gold colored cartridge or something like that.
