If a Gold exclusive GOLD Arcanine isn't enough reason to get HG, I don't know what is!

Yes you really do get one when you buy Gold, silver gets nothing!
Silver sucks!
If anyone fancies coming to the UK with a copy of Hyperpowered Gold for me then I will repay you with extreme amounts of love...

Hmm... I hope they do. The HG/SS guide actually states that My Pokemon Ranch only works with Diamond and Pearl...

I just have to say, i hate all of you Silver people. I feel so small since everyone thinks Lugia>Ho-Oh.
Besides that though, i'm very excited to get it, i'm just leaving now. Hopefully this game will be able to get me back into this series again.

I bought an American version of Diamond off of Amazon.co.uk way back when, but there don't seem to be any private sellers with HG or SS up.
And I'm still torn over which version to get too.
This time around my brother has no money, so he wouldn't be able to buy the alternate version and I'm not sure whether to get Gold, again, or go with Silver this time.

Lugia looks like Shiron. Shiron is amazing.
Ho-oh looks like it came from a fabulous parade.

Why be pissed at people...because they are correct? Ho-Oh is just a big chicken. Lugia is win and awesomeness incarnate. Don't be a chicken lover, man. Do the right thing. Pick Superior Silver like real men.

I just don't understand it, Lugia hides in some caves whining like a bitch whereas Ho-oh is the most renowned arsonist in the pokemon world yet everyone thinks lugia is better?
Mad world we live in...

Simple. Some people suffer from nincompoopitis, which is a rare disease which can convince one that Ho-Oh is better than Lugia. Which is false, because Ho-Oh is a huge chicken made out of fail and lose.

Yes the game follows the clock in your DS. Certain pokemon only appear at certain times during a day, weekly stuff happens all over the game. The pokewalker also syncs with the clock, which actually helped me a couple of times where I forgot to bring my phone with me.mrkgoo said:

Wow, I just noticed this thread.
I just started playing the Japanese version of Soul Silver last week and am about 11 hours into it (just got the 4th badge). I had no idea the US release was today.
This is actually my first Pokémon game as I somehow missed the wave when the series first came out. So far I am really enjoying it and can see why so many people get addicted to the series.
I started with a Hinoarashi (Cynadaquil) in English I think and just got his final evolution. Is it a good idea to be leveling up multiple Pokémon simultaneously? So far I have been using my first guy exclusively. I have been catching other Pokémon, but I haven't been using them in battle at all.

Cool, I'm in the same position as you. Haven't played pokemon since I got Red back in the days, but decided to import HeartGold in january and now I'm back into the world of pokemon big time.Zefah said:
It's a good idea to have a main team of 6 pokemons. You can get through with just one strong pokemon, but it's not that fun. And the less creatures you rely on, the more in trouble you'll be when facing an opponment that is supereffective against you.

For me I try to level up all my pokemons evenly when It's possible. It's good to have all types of pokemon so you can fight with the weekness of the others. But I always consider my starter pokemon as my Main.Zefah said:
Zefah said:
You can use your starter exclusively for so long but at some point you will be caught out and the rest of your squad will catch up. I always levelled them equally, especially if I knew the pokemon would be with me for a long time
Gonna get this next weekend, not played a pokemon seriously since firered
Metroid Killer said:
Sweet, thanks. If it has just the date/weekly/time stuff, it makes it a much more interesting title than the others. I thought that feature was neat. I never really try to catch them all, so I never got annoyed by it - I just thought it was really novel.
I can still change the time, though right? This is important, as if I move, I need to be abel to adjust the time. The old version never had allowances for that besides daylight savings.
Are there DSi specific features? Online features?
Zefah said:
You should level up a variety of pokemon. The key to the strategies is the strengths and weakness that each pokemon type have against others. You need a well-rounded team to take out later enemies. For example, your cyndaquill is a fire-type. It is strong against grass, but weak against water. When you come up across someone with predominantly water, and you haven't got something to battle it with, you'll find it a lot tougher.

It surprises me that people doubt the popularity of Pokemon still.
Went there at midnight, but the games they had weren't the ones that included the figure and rubber case for the pokewalker, so I was mildly let down since I have Silver on pre-order at Gamestop.Gravijah said:
contemplating driving by to see if I can still get the figure for having 5 bucks down.:lol

Me too man. ;_; I wish things where delivered on Sundays.Drkirby said:
what the fuck is up with the pokewalker? I'm not sure its registering steps correctly... mine is at 51 right now (even though that seems kinda low) so i started to just shake it a bunch and the number didn't go up. I'm continuing to do this and nothing is happening. Also there is no satisfying clicking sound signifying a step being registered (though maybe it just doesn't have that in general)
am i doing something wrong?
EDIT: Wait, maybe it just doesn't register steps unless it is in sleep mode? seems kinda silly, but i shook it a bit more after the screen went blank and turned it back on and i had more steps registered. weird
EDIT 2: although i guess maybe it isn't silly since if it isn't in "sleep mode" that means you are probably looking at it, and if you are looking at it you aren't walking.

I suppose they rather like the realization that comes with the NPD results.
Question: How do you guys come up with nicknames for your pokemon? I've generally used french wording for my guys i.e totodile = brut eaus. Rough translation of rough water(s)
Just wondering.
Design wise, I think Ho-oh looks better, but I prefer to play with Lugia. Lugia is actually the only Pokémon my little brother has raised to Lvl 100 in his Gold version. He had it with a level 70-something Tyranitar and a level 70-something Kingdra traded from someone on his hockey team, and three level-70 somethings Ho-ohs he'd cloned. Wonder if he'll make better choices ten years later :lol

It registers steps ALLWAYS. Even if you let it be in midbattle it will still count steps.EzLink said:
The PokeWalker is cheat-proof(sorta), if you just shake it fast in your hand it wont count the steps.
The steps don't add up perfectly in real time. Instead it sorta just remembers a batch at a time and adds them after a while.
