General Pokemon Discussion - KEEP IT ALL HERE!

This thread is for General Pokemon Discussion. This includes all past games and the upcoming Pokemon Black and White versions

Posting outside this sticky thread runs the risk of you getting moderated.

And remember there's always the shared/game specific boards: HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Pokemon Battling board

Pokemon Trading board

I'm getting Heart Gold. I didn't pick it up yet but I'm going to go soon.

I bought gold like 10 years ago, so maybe i'll try silver.

I love Pokemon, but for some reason... a ton of noobs play.

Look at the front page of the DS forums and you'll see what I'm talking about.

By the way, I got Heart Gold.

My Mom got Silver and I got a copy of Gold and Silver

Plus we have both sets of guides so overall we're ready for this newest version of Pokemon lol

We need a poll choice for the people who buy both :P

I just Pick my copy of SoulSilver from the store and i also got the strategy guide.

Just one of the guides?

So far I haven't seen the other guide available until the last week in April

Finally a Sticky for this. the DS board has been saved!

since EVERY SINGLE TOPIC on the first 3 pages are about it... didn't this just kill the DS forums?BrunoBRS

Well Pokemon is the main thing that keeps the DS a viable platform so yeah, when you restrict the conversations to one thread it kinda makes the place go quiet for a little

But it's either that or 400 threads launch week like "POKEMON STARTS WITH A P!"

I'm cool with waiting a bit before we're able to start new threads about it

i think we should always have this thread and there already is plenty of Poke-Boards to answer ppl's questions, the DS forum doesn't need to have 70% of its front page with Poke-Threads everyday, and that isn't just today but usually half of all threads are Poke-related

The last pokemon game i played was Yellow. i think i might try the new one

Whats the difference between heart gold and soul silver?

all that has been leaked is "we're making it", which is no surprise, really.BrunoBRS

I got Soul Silver today (a day before my birthday :P) and I just started playing it. Too bad I won't be able to play it much this week since college is keeping me busy. Goodbye spring break.:(

I got Soul Silver and Heart Gold as well as the Strategy Guide. I picked up my pre orders this morning.

I have a question also. I was just wondering if anyone knows if it matters when we trade over Jirachi and Pichu? I just beat Falkner on Soul Silver and was thinking of doing it now. Will it matter or do we have to wait until a certain point in the game?

Quick question: is one of your pokemon following you all of the time or is it optional?

Do both these games work on DS and DSI?

Getting on the bike puts them in a Pokeball. And I had hoped that there would be a sidecar or tricycle for them :(

Even through I am starting to lose interests in Pokemon, I decided to get Heart Gold, because I really loved Gold so much. I was able to get the Ho-Oh figurine too. Anyway so far it seems like a good remake.:) Can't wait to try out the Pokewalker.

Huge pokemon stay in the pokeballs whenever you're inside a house/building/crowded area.

Sidecar + G/S/C/HG/SS Bike theme = BEST IDEA EVAR!

but Wailord might need a truck instead... :?

which reminds me...

Has anyone traded a wailord to HG/SS? How big is it? Does it look funny? O_o

Nevermind. I managed to get a wailord to HG. It's not as big as I thought it would be. It's about 2x the size of the trainer sprite and it looks like it's sliding whenever you walk/run with it. Kinda disappointed but the sliding makes me laugh. :lol:

I was wondering if anyone else's HeartGold or SoulSilver game cartridge feels like there's a loose piece inside when you move it?

It might have something to do with the IR receiver (or whatever its called) in it that the pokewalker uses.

We know they are making it for the DS, it is set to release late this year in japan, the first two pokemon from it are Zorua, and Zorark they will star in the 13th movie. They also said there will be some major changes, but its pokemon so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

Zoroark:

I was thinking Ninetails/Lucario fusion. It's a dark type (my favorite) and looks pretty cool. I may have to get a next gen game for this guy.

Its pre evolution, Zorua:

Does Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver contain all the pokemon from FireRed LeafGreen?

If so is there any point playing FireRed or LeafGreen? maybe to get the gym badges?

PcGamingRig

You can get the kanto gym badges in HGSS.

And They include all of the first and second gen pokemon except mew and celebi.

baytown91

anyway, i tend to compare stuff with sneasels (lucario kinda looks like one :P) because they're the most awesome pokemon ever. if weavile kept just a single feather, then we'd have a new champion, but since he didn't...

there may be a tie in terms of awesomeness with quilava, though.
