Pokemon: Heart Gold & Soul Silver FTW!

[tay120n64]

Well, it's been three days and I've already logged in 10 hours of gameplay. Seriously, I'm lovin this game. But then, the original Silver took over 150 hours of my life, so it was to be expected.

Currently, I have a Quagsire (Zola), Quilava (Darmani), Gastly (Ghini), and a Heracross (Snifit 4). Still unsure about the Heracross... May go with Scizor instead.

So how is everyone else enjoying the games?

[oh, and bonus points to the first person to catch the "Snifit 4" reference]

[Freedan]

I haven't gotten to them yet, but I might one of these days. There's some other stuff in line to be played first, so it may be a while before I get to that.

And Snifit 4? That's the Apprentice from Mario RPG.

"Golly! You're that famous Mario guy! If I beat you they'll make me Snifit 4! If I'm lucky!”

aw lucky. ur gonna have a head start on me! its not realesed in aus for 7 more days. but i got it preorded. n i should clock about 50 hours in the first week. i alrdy ev trained a few of my party on platinum, im just gonna train em across cos they r low level still, and play through with those. save grinding levels later.

[EverPhoenix]

i just got it. locan anime/videogame store has an imported version, so i have my SoulSilver a week before other people here.

going to start it shortly... cyndaquil, then whatever i feel like.

[Dark_Gaia]

omg sif u got it before me 2!! not fair =(

[EverPhoenix]

currently 2.5 hours in, up to bugsy. lvl18 quilava i think, and a lvl14 hoppip.

damn right, hoppip

also, im carrying my slowpoke around at uni today

[Mantaray]

im thinkin about adding one of these to my wish-list. i'd like to see how it evolved (lol), since i stopped at crystal.

but which one should i get? D:

[EverPhoenix]

if you want to see how it evolved, you should get heartgold or soulsilver. its the same game as the original g/s, but using the new engine, massive improvements to some parts, and a whole load of sidequests.

if you just want a new pokemon game, go platinum. although i think hgg/ss are so much better, its because i knew how awesome the originals were, and id played the gen4 games before.

i wanted to get platinum when it came out, but i was supposed to earn it, and didn't i was wanting to know if i should get heartgold or soulsilver, but i dont think it matters much since they're basically clones of each other..

[tay120n64]

Well, do you want to get Ho-Oh or Lugia first? That's mostly what it boils down to.

[Dark_Gaia]

My friend got the playguide for hg/ss and it only has the pokemon from the original gold n silver, and also it doesnt even have a section on the kanto region. Are all 493 pokemon in the remakes? or is there only 300 like the old ones? cos that would suck. i want all of them!

[EverPhoenix]

of course it has all 493. there are means to get most of them in the game, too. well, a decent number. what with the poke-walker and the other stuff theyve chucked in.

also, update on my gameplay. whitney is a hacker. she is banned.

on a lighter note, i have 4 badges, a lvl30 quilava and a lvl27 jumpluff. and still carrying slowpoke in my pocket.

[Dark_Gaia]

oh well thats good. i wonder why they arent included in the guide then =s
whos whitney?

[tay120n64]

It's going to be a 2-part guide just like it was for Diamond and Pearl. The Kanto region, post-game events, and the remainder of the Pokedex are going to be in the second book.

[Dark_Gaia]

oh ok. makes sense. i didnt get back into pokemon til platinum so i never saw the d/p guides.
