Right. As you fuckers should all know, the new Pokemon games have been released in North America today. Aussies get them on the 25th, and you European types get them on the 26th. I'm not gonna lie, I've been like a kid on Christmas this morning, waking up at three, looking at the clock, swearing, going back to sleep, waking up at 3:10, etc. Now that it's a semi-reasonable time(8:59 on my end), I figured I'd wake up and run to Gamestop. Which, apparently, does not open until 10:00. Bugger.

So, to counteract the withdrawal I'll be in for the next hour and a minute (because god knows I couldn't play any of the Pokemon games I already have until then), I figured I'd ask you NPF types what your plans are for the game. Who are you starting with, which game will you be getting, what team are you gonna try for, all that jazz. Personally, all I know is that I'll be starting with a Cyndaquil, and that I'll be playing Soul Silver. (Normally, I'd get both, but this is the first time since the original G/S that I don't have that option on release day- my mother, in a fit of nostalgia, is buying Gold.)

Me and me girlfriend are actually planning on getting copies ourselves. She has already claimed soul silver so I myself am getting heart gold. However for starter, shoot I have no idea what I plan to do for a team or anything yet.

Man, I hate these "release it in phases around the world" scams game companies pull. �___� Hate it so hard.

ANYWAY, if I pick this up, I'll prolly take Totodile for a starter. C'mon, it's final evolution looks a bit like Godzilla. What's not to like?
Not sure which version I'll take, though. Probably whichever's still on the shelves (Still considering pre-ordering...). Preference Soul Silver, because I owned Gold the last time around.

Well yes they are, but it's the spirit of the thing...
(by which I mean 500 pokemon, and a crapton of moves.)

Apparently there's only a couple of legendaries that are locked to outside-the-game promotional events, and even then apparently the item for one of these may be distributed via WiFi. I still think that's the worst aspect of the Pokemon franchise.

SS/HG seem to have the most content out of any of the Pokemon games so far, which is immense. I think i'll have to indulge in nostalgia.

Orig 150 + 2ndGen 200 = ? :brow:

Are they actually including all the new ones after? So much for a remake.

Yeah. That was sort of a given.

But then it's not Gold and Silver!

Token · 03-14-2010, 10:08 AM

That's right. It's Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
