. . . They sent me free sleeves and fixed my GC for free even after the warranty was void because I was at fault for using MadCatz card (which broke it). 0_oDragona Akehi said:
EDIT- Now that I think about it maybe they will fix my DS . . .

All sharp and crisp . . . wish someone could make my Gangsta Pike that clean.
More then Sony has given me.Dragona Akehi said:
Wait, no, they gave me a free game when they sent me a demo disk that wiped my Memory Card.
Microsoft hasn't given me diddly though!... Unless you count all the Microsoft point contests, which I have gotten about $75 in points from...
Wait, Sega has yet to shell out any money to me! Though they weren't all that profitable for many years and all...
Welp, at least I got my token ds game.

But think of the extra POWAH. DSi enhancement means that you get double the sparks!BorkBork said:

They're "black cart" titles. Dual-mode. As I said, Yellow is too, really. And all of those (as well as the original game) have nice Super Game Boy features. They removed the SGB logos from the backs of the US boxes for all compatible titles, but it IS still there.
Dual-mode GB/GBC games have both GB and GBC versions of the game on the cart. Usually it's the same thing just on one system there's no color, but in a few cases the game is actually different on each system, though that is rare. The only game that is actually different on each system that I know of is Conker's Pocket Tales; all others are just colorized versions of the B&W game. A few games do make save files incompatible between the two systems, though, like Wario Land 2... that was kind of annoying, because it only has one save slot and there are no differences I could see in the actual game, so why was the save file locked to GB only or GBC only? But anyway, the Pokemon games are the more common kind of colorized game whose save files are compatible between systems. The games are the exact same thing either way as far as I know, it's just that one way there is more color. ("more" because the SGB uses the B&W modes of course, it just changes the colors, adds a background, etc.) Actually a black cart title.
(Are there any actual gameplay differences between B&W and color?)
If you look at the Pokemon Gold/Silver box, it doesn't say "Game Boy Color Only" on it, and on the back there are both GB and GBC logos and there is one screenshot of the B&W version. Crystal, on the other hand, does say "Game Boy Color only", and only has the GBC logo, and only has color screenshots. Actually a clear cart title.
For most GB games it's easy to tell the difference -- B&W games are grey (with, apart from Pokemon an SGB logo on the cart if it has SGB enhancements, though a game or two incorrectly has such a logo...), dual-mode black (with an SGB logo on the back of the box if it has SGB enhancements, apart from the Pokemon games where Nintendo removed the logos in the US), and color-only games transparent. With Pokemon it's a little tougher because of the special cart colors.

I am surprised that this thread didn't get a lot of hype but I assumed that it is very late for most of people.

EDIT: nm There's a separate thread for discussion about 5th gen itself.
Kinda disappointing. I was hoping for a new DS soon. I guess we could still see one, though.
Anyway, I was also hoping for a clean cut from the gens 3 and 4 with gen 5 on a new platform (which would be easy if the new platform doesn't have backwards compatibility). As it is now, you just have to play way too many games to get the most out of them.
And to clear things up, Gold and Silver were compatible with the original Game Boy, but Crystal was not.

The starter type change was supposedly something they were thinking about doing. I believe that they said that on their Jp site that gave out news about DP on the reg before it's release.Reticent Rhino said:
It was them stating that that lead the way for this Purple Kecleon person to make 3 bad ass fake starters that fooled everyone.

Still, Turtwig, Piplup and the fire-butt-monkey were awesome (in descending order of awesomeness).

:l Hate their DS engine unless they somehow managed to get it to have AA and better textures.

As far as the current style is concerned, HeartGold/SoulSilver are about as far as they could reasonably take it. Could it be better? Sure, these new games will probably improve on it a little. But unless they go full 3D no matter what they do, it's not going to look much better than it is now on the DS's screens.

Yeah that screen is better I guess but there was nothing wrong with thier 2D one which I loved. The DS could have made an awesome 2D engine too. I guess I just hate it because it adds nothing to the game at all and looks worse than what they've done before. Sure that screen is ok but there are heaps of other parts that look aweful in Pearl.Andrex said:

I'll still play it though :lol

Wow, I really didn't expect for this to be released so soon. I thought we'd be seeing the first few Pokemon this year (Like with Togepi way back when) and then the games would only be shown next year! I really wasn't expecting the next games until the DS2, so this seems to have came out of nowhere!

Funny that this game doesn't appear on Nintendo's release list (probably because it comes under The Pokemon Company)
Can't believe it's already been announced and I'm still waiting for HG/SS :lol
Here's hoping for something along the lines of Resident Evil 4 in terms of rebooting. It's time for some bigger innovations!

Eh, I would prefer they develop for the next Nintendo handheld (or DS2, or whatever). Another DS Pokemon wouldn't appear all that different, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Curious about the name they'll use.
Red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, ruby, sapphire, fire-red, leaf-green, emerald, diamond, pearl, platinum, hearth-gold and soul-silver have been used.
What's next? Pokémon Nickel and Pokémon Palladium? :lol

Well yeah, I'll still play it to death like all the other main entries, but after HG/SS the same engine and graphical style it'll start to be tired and boring. A more powerful handheld would mean a bigger game, more Pokemon, better graphics, possibly even full 3D (which would not look good if done on the current DS).
But yeah, there is still room for improvement for another DS game.

I'm still wondering when they'll go with pure black/white color names (Opal, Onyx, etc). Then again the whole racism thing that may come up.

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal was the pinnacle of the series for me, and I'm expecting to relive that with HG/SS.
If they don't shake things up with the next generation, it will probably feel like a massive step down.
For starters, I want a new graphics engine. They might have added a 3D effect in D/P/Pt, but that doesn't change the fact that everything looks so plain. And don't get me started on battle screens. I want to see battles that are more visually interesting, like Golden Sun.

Just what I needed. Another Pokemon game to suck up another 100 Hours or so of my life after SoulSilver.
So GameFreak director posted some new stuff on his blog http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=237
It's probably the same thing as the other announcement, but it surely does give more confirmation it's a Gen 5 game and not some spin off crap.

D/P pretty much was the last of my pokemon craze after I realized I didn't have any friends to play it with. That being said, I love the series and am very excited to see what kind of new innovations and stuff they bring to the table. I probably will skip out on the gold/silver remakes just due to a lack of time.

:O Really? I'd still like a Pokemon Yellow remake, starting off with Pikachu, but I will take what I can get, I suppose.
