The Official Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver Discussion Thread

[Rad Lionheart]

Oh [parasitic bomb], did you hear that? He went there! HE WENT THERE!



Where's there?

[Harruhy]

I'm picking Gold because Gold users take nothing short of being the best. Silver users settle at second class quitters.

That's right, I went there.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T

People who actually care about the names, and etc are lame. |:

[STM]

In all seriousness though, I do wonder what sorts of changes we'll be seeing here. We have Battle Frontier already. Why not the Orange Islands?

[Harruhy]

Why not the Orange Islands?

It's not why not, it's more like, we'll have to wait and see.

[Pyro]

Didn't we get that in FRLG with the Sevii Islands?

[Harruhy]

Uh, definitely not. The Orange Islands are completely different.

[Sparky]

Okay. As much as I know what a shitstorm the following statement will erupt, I'm gonna say this.

I'm NOT getting this if my expectation isn't met, no matter how trivial you may conceive it to be.

I'm sorry, but that's just me.

[Waifu]

I wish that was a sidequest and did anyone mention that Cyberdemon glitch in the original R&B?

[Solar]

Heart Gold FTW! If only for nostalgic purposes, in memory of my actual Gold version that got [tornado fang]'d up after cloning, and because my brother will be getting Soul Silver.

YES.

Soul Silver sounds infinitely more CRUNK than "Heart Gold".

I wonder if they'll reverse the order for the English release.

"Silver Soul" and "Gold/Golden Heart" flow much better, in my opinion.

Hey, read my mind.

Oh, and beware all of you Cyndaquill lovers, Totodile is coming to extinguish you

[Klavier Gavin]

Oh, and beware all of you Cyndaquill lovers, Totodile is coming to extinguish you

My Typhlosion that knows Thunder Punch will [tornado fang] you up.

[Solar]

So it all comes down to who strikes first then

[Klavier Gavin]

So it all comes down to who strikes first then

EXACTLY!

[Pyro]

Typhlosion is the faster Pokemon if memory serves...

[Solar]

Quick Claw!

Haunter is still watching over this remake with a close eye.

[Tickle Buffalo]

My Typhlosion that knows Thunder Punch will [tornado fang] you up.

That won't even 2HKO unless you're insanely lucky, and Feraligatr will OHKO with Waterfall. Too bad, Typhlosion.

You and your lies.

Anyway...

We learned on the 7th that "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver," the second entry in the popular RPG series, originally released on the Gameboy system in November of 1999, will be remade for the Nintendo DS this autumn under the titles "HeartGold" and "SoulSilver." New elements will be added in this tenth anniversary return to the Johto Region.

A continuation of the original series (Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu), Gold and Silver recorded remarkable sales of 23,000,000 copies worldwide. It introduced monsters that hadn't appeared in the gameboy games, along with various new features.

Red and Green, the first games of the Pokemon series, were remade for the Gameboy Advance in 2004 as "Fire Red and Leaf Green," making this the second set of remakes. While Red and Green had fantastic upgrades in their transition from Gameboy to Gameboy Advance, this time the games are skipping the Gameboy Advance and going directly from Gameboy to DS. So they will almost certainly have drastically upgraded graphics and sound. Details will be released on the official site shortly.

Currently in development for the Nintendo DS are the newest entries in the Pokemon series: "Pocket Monsters HeartGold and SoulSilver." Taking place in the Johto region, the games will be upgraded with all of the series' current features and will also be paced with brand new features. This year marks the tenth anniversary of "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver's" release on the original Gameboy, so its revival is only fitting. Since its release in 1999, the game has sold over 23,000,000 copies worldwide.

[Tickle Buffalo]

You and your lies.

You are guaranteed a OHKO if you run a +atk nature 252 atk EV Banded Typhlosion against a -def nature Feraligatr with no EVs and IVs of 0 in HP and defense, I must admit! If it's taken stealth rock damage, that is.


Yeah possibly you should counter with something else.

[Klavier Gavin]

Yeah possibly you should counter with something else.

If that's the case, then I will have my Meganium and Pikachu/Raichu ready.

[Tickle Buffalo]

A masterful strategy.

[Dr. Wily II]

Hmm, I wonder which one I will get first... LOL
I played Gold back in the day, with Feraligatr by my side...
Then I played Silver with Cyndaquil, but never finished the game...

And if it went by the same version exclusive Pokemon...
...
...
Heart Gold for me.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm going to buy Soul Silver.  Then I'm going to LEVEL 100 all the Level 100's I had in original Silver.  Then I'm going to compare them.

[Dr. Wily II]

Soul Silver will beat the original Silver, all that EV-ing and stuff.

[Sparky]

You know, maybe Gold and Silver did have hauntings, and these are probably them.

Sprout Tower, because ghosts from all over Johto are said to visit it at night.
Tin Tower, because it is said to be a resting place for Pokemon.

Both of these explain the massive influx of Ghastly at night in both.


Yep, I've been wrong after all these years..

[Klavier Gavin]

Like I said earlier;

I'm so [tornado fang]ing happy right now, I'm getting both!
