I suppose so. Been playing black and white lately, now I feel like you're the creature in that game.

I NEED THAT BLACK VERSION US RELEASE.

'Cuz I'm not getting White or HeartGold, those are for [Top Spin]s.


My brother wants Pearl instead of Diamond. Being a Platinum-ite myself, I'm ashamed of the kid.

I learned that all things explode in slowmotion if you punch them hard enough.

You may have to be on fire for that to happen, though.

I'm gonna learn you something today:

I was talking about this game actually. Stoopid kid.

Also I got HeartGold. And I am clearly not a bundle of sticks, a culinary term for herbs or seasoning added to a meal, a style of embroidery in clothing, a kind of meatball, a cigarette, hard work and chores, or an unpaid servant for an older boy.

Also, anything between HeartGold and Gold can stfu. Anything after HeartGold can stfu too.

Also, what, RPM doesn't have a B) kobun? This is the closest...  8B But the caption says it is an angry face. What gives?

Seeing as to how there are multiple sections of your post, I shall respond in sections as well.

Well then, that felt half-stupidity and half-"Heh, didn't see that coming" to me.

Oi, don't you be dissin' my Emerald. That game was freaking good. I miss my Pokemon Emerald, and would give up ANY of my games to get it back. DPP I can agree with you on, however.

Not really. Get the Silver Wing from some guy in Pewter, then head to the Whirl Islands.

He's level 70, but still. Easy as pie.

Huh. I remember it being harder. Then again, I might be thinking of Crystal. I played Crystal more recently than Silver, so that might be it.

It's still the same way as it was in Gold, getting Ho-oh in Crystal was the hard part you have to catch Suicune, Raikou and Entei, go to the Celadon city pokemon center and talk to Eusine, and then go to the Tin Tower.

The only bad thing about the lv 70 Lugia and Ho-oh back then was that they couldn't learn Hydro Pump/Fire Blast naturally.  For Ho-oh it wasn't so bad, but for Lugia it sucked since there is no TM for Hydro Pump then again I don't really liked Hydro Pump so it doesn't matter.  Plus I don't use legendary pokemon anymore so it really doesn't matter.

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Yeah, it is. Actually Nintendo uses it for the Wii and DS.

Never used Lugia or Ho-oh, but Ho-oh does look cooler. >.> Legendary pokemon always pissed me off, since they ALWAYS had some I couldn't get legit. (mostly before Wi-Fi, but even then it's not always easy to connect to people in another country to get legit pokemon when you don't have rares to offer...)

Irregardless, Gold and Silver added a lot of new amazing things. Emerald... Didn't. HeartGold and SoulSilver did what DPP couldn't do right.

Emerald and DPP are just between tester games. Not nearly as awesome as Gold and HeartGold. IMHO.

What about Ruby and Sapphire?

Aero Blast is the only reason I get Silver Version.

That and I like Silver as a color/metal more than Gold. Otherwise, the two are identical to me.

Lugia to me is superior aesthetically, but otherwise, they're Legendaries. I don't bother with them.

Anything else I had to say was already said by LOL... lol. herp derp.

Also, to Sakura. Emerald was better than Ruby and Sapphire. That sums that up.

I agree with you on this gold only goes well with diamonds in my opinion and diamonds look better on silver.

I figured, I never got Emerald since I had Sapphire and vise versa for Platinum since I had Pearl.

I personally enjoyed Emerald as a generally good game. It's the one game with a shred of good gameplay in the past decade, barring Crystal and HG/SS. The battles weren't too short like they were in R/B/Y and they weren't too long like in D/P/P. Also, it had the closest thing to a good storyline we're gonna get in a Pokemon game. That, and you could get Rayquaza, Groudon, AND Kyogre. Ba-bam!

Also, the puzzles were actually DIFFICULT. Anyone remember the headache that came with getting Regice, Regirock, and Registeel?

FireRed and LeafGreen were okay. The Sevii Isles was a good add on, but otherwise, it was okay.


Off that subject, Black and White look like they're gonna exceed even Crystal, nah, so I think I'll shut up now.

An improvement over the original games. Though I admit I like the nostalgia of R/B/Y in opposition.

No. R/S/E didn't have a good storyline to me in the least. D/P/P was more interesting storywise as well as the culmination of the whole that is that Generation. The mystery behind Arceus and all the answers it gives and questions it leaves open was much more interesting than the whole "lol ground and sea wanna fights but Sky is like stfu"

And the whole Pirates versus... Land Pirates was also very lame. That and I just hate pirates. Team Aqua's outfits were so lame.

The battles weren't memorable. I barely recall anything interesting from R/S/E to be honest. The gyms don't ring any familiarity to me what-so-ever. And again, legendaries. I PERSONALLY don't think a person should be able to CATCH legendaries. It's a retarded concept really. But that is a debate for another day.

Black and White have potential. I'll hold my tongue till I play them.

Then it must be the fact that I feel nostalgia from it and refuse to let it go. Oh well. It WAS like my third ever video game. That I owned myself, that is to say.

It wasn't difficult, just completely unexpected and something my 10 year old or so brain couldn't comprehend by itself. I mean, Braille? WTF?

Also, if I'm entirely honest, Ruby is my favorite but if anyone asked me why I'd be unable to answer. Seriously, I just don't know why I loved it so much.

[spoiler] Storyline changes

   * Both Team Magma and Team Aqua are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken Groudon and Kyogre, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
   * Rayquaza is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the Elite Four challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire. [/spoiler]

Combine stories, mix in a little of the newest legendary, make a game people will buy to get the 'other half' of the first game.

[spoiler] Gameplay changes
   * Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and at higher levels.
   * The Regis' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle. [/spoiler]

Most players COMPLAIN when legendaries are at higher levels. You said that's why HeartGold was bad. >.> Also, see puzzle notation.

Also this part sounds like it actually sucks compared to the other two.

[spoiler]Unlike Ruby and Sapphire, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to Hoenn while the player possesses only the country's regional Pokédex, while the National Pokédex is required to trade with FireRed and LeafGreen and XD: Gale of Darkness. This restriction also includes Pokémon eggs from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with Colosseum only requires the Hoenn Pokédex regardless of the Pokémon being traded. [/spoiler]

Honestly, it's about as special as Crystal, though it was a fun game, just more of a gimic thing to me. I'm too lazy to list more but honestly I don't see anything here that makes me think that it is "all that better".

Honestly I purely liked Sapphire because I was able to do my first "one pokemon" playthrough with it. I am pretty sure Emerald can be played the same way.
