Who else is buying it?

I was gonna wait til the summer but I bit into the pressure.

I'm about to head to the mall to get it in about 30 minutes. I'll post impressions later.

Nope, not buying it. Even my brother has grown out of Pokemon...I never really liked the games very much, didnt find them very fun...a little repetitive if anything.

TheGame · 03-17-2003, 04:57 PM

hmm.. I guess the game is shipped today, not released. Nintendo needs to work on giving realistic release dates. They give the ship date.

Also, as far as your post, I dunno if people can "grow out" of Pokemon... I feel the day I grow out of it I will grow out of Video games alltogether.

I would like to buy it. It looks like fun.

hmmm....*goes and sees if the ROM is available yet*

The game was released today, only at the Pokémon Center in New York. Everywhere else you're going to have to wait until Wednesday March 19th.

The English ROMS are probably spreading like wild fire though.

Yeah, I was sure it was the 14th, but no.. the poster in the store said 19th. I'm sleeping outside Future Shop tonight for it.

And I'm getting it for free! From my parents.. for my report card. Sheesh, it pays to be smart.

I got it earlier today... I have played 2 hours and have yet to go to a gym. This game doesn't have any huge innovations like GS, and if it does, I have yet to see it.

Not bad, but not and outstanding first impression, it's just pokemon with prettier graphics right now.

Joeiss · 03-18-2003, 11:23 PM

Wow... I had no clue this game was allready out yet... lol. I might pick it up, unless I find a Harvest Moon game any time soon.

I'm a pokemon addict again

this game reminds me of Red and blue again, a fresh new start to the series, not just a sequal like G/S.

GameMaster · 03-20-2003, 10:46 PM

What happen to the opening animation when a Pokémon is sent out? Oh well.

I agree Justin, it's just like old times again. Just me and my Pokémon on the road.
