Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

I have it (SoulSilver).

Anyone else? Will update later with impressions.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Damnit, I wanted to get SoulSilver as well, and believe that Magus is getting HeartGold.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Think im going to skip out on this one, ill wait for the next brand new Pokemon game.

Tho Gold was really the first pokemon game where i played a ton and made an effort to collect them all.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Are these ones brand new games, or are they remakes/compilations?

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Remake of Gold/Silver, not really sure what's new outside of the PokeWalker.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Oh.
*yawn*.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Apparently some new places to go and stuff. Plus your pogeymans can follow you around like Pikachu in Pogeymans yellow.


Dude whatever g/s was badass.

Especially after you beat the game, and spoilers, got to go through and challenge the first game gyms.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

I can't fucking wait to go through the Kanto gyms again. That's the one thing I never ended up doing when I went through G/S and I beat myself up over it a lot when I think about that game.

Also RED GYARADOS YEAR!

found this to be particularly hilarious:

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Don't forget facing Red. That was epic.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

HeartGold acquired! I got a Geodude in my Pokewalker right now since they suck for grinding. I think the Pokewalker is a pretty cool idea. It's good for lvling and shit while I'm at work.

Also, maybe we could start a Pokejournal like we tried for Diamond and Pearl? Your thoughts, gentlemen.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Do not scoff at these games - Gold and Silver are the two greatest Pokemon games ever. They introduced apricorns, breeding, night/day...and my favorite Pokemon, Ampharos.

I haven't actually gotten very far into the game. My girlfriend bought HeartGold, so I spent the first few hours getting a female of all three starters.

I'm going to actually move forward in the game tonight. I can say that so far I am really impressed with the care and attention they put into these games - everything from how it looks down to the packaging. I feel like they realized fans loved these two games. I bought the walkthrough/pokedex for it, and even that is pretty epic. The first 10 pages or so are "prologue" information about Red/Blue.

Also I have a Jirachi, gamestop had an event that ended yesterday where they were giving them out via mystery gift.

I'm all down for PokeJournals - but I think we should post them all in this thread instead of individual ones so they're easier to read.

Also we need to share codes so that we can trade/battle.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

I am down for all of those things. As soon as I get a chance (since I'm at work) we can drop the friend codes down. We should put a list of them in the first post. My friends here at work got copies today so I'll put their friend codes up as well.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Looks like I'm starting with the journals!

PokeJournal 1 - Magus


I started off with Chikorita, and that's been going pretty well. Although this does mean a little more prep before getting to Falkner because of the grass type. To take of this I got a Geodude that I got up to about lvl 10 or so....until I found out that there was someone that would give you an Onix for a Bellsprout, which coincidentally was spawning right outside of Violet City. :D

Onix is insane. I was helping him build up XP by doing the ol' switcheroo and fighting in Sprout Tower. I had a Pidgey to knock out all the Bellsprouts, and Onix was getting boosted XP from being a traded Pokemon so double win!

I got the TM for Flash and I think I'm gonna do a little more grinding/exploring in Dark Cave. Hopefully some cool stuff spawns and I get some nice items.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Dunsparce is in that cave.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

I think Dunsparce is a rare find. I think that was the one that you had to get some dude's number and he calls you later telling you that he saw it in there. But I can't go through that place without getting Rock Smash. Also! Friend code

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

it is, but i remember the very first time i played through i was grinding in there and i came across a dunsparce just randomly.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

So I started this up, stupid Pokemon.

Of course keeping with the most awesome of traditions went with a water starter, Totodile, in this game. Together we have ran the Pokeworld. Already having the first gym master beg for mercy as we crushed his spirits.

My team right now has the Togepi egg, Pidgey, Onix, Beedrill and Mereep.

Its good to have a team of Pokemon that I actually recognize. Enaks is in my PokeWalker right now, living it up I'm sure.

So far, I like that they cleaned up the menu stuff from Diamond/Pearl/Plat, I thought it was kind of messy, but here nice and clean. I think because they got ride of all that PokeTech stuff.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

Really earl? its just snake backwards.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
 

That was obviously on purpose to see if you noticed :sneaky: :sneaky:

Anyhow started naming my Pokemon, gonna see if can do cartoon/comic characters

Zubat is Bruce
Geodude is Rocksteady

And Ekans is Enaks ;)

Vampyr PokeJournal Day 1

I started off my adventure with Totodile, which is different for me since I usually choose the grass starter. But a "friend" traded me Chikorita and Cyndaquil, so I'm not to upset about it.

After defeating a red haired thug named Andim I headed to Violet City and pretty much owned all the weak sages in the Bellsprout Tower. Along the way I raised my Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Jirachi to level 9, keeping them below 10 so they would obey me.

After that I crushed Faukner in the Gym, obtained the TM Flash, explored as much of the dark cave as possible, then headed south towards Azalea town.
