Pokemon - BRING BACK THE COLORED CARTRIDGES

Seriously, why did they get rid of it when Diamond & Pearl came out? I miss it ALOT.

Possibly because the majority of the franchises audience isn't the same audience as Pokemon Red and Blue (including myself) so they thought they can get away with not paying extra to inquire and produce different colour cartridges that the latest fans probably won't think too much over.

Also, for White. HeartGold & SoulSilver have Black cartridges also.

I would love the different colors for the cartridges the GBA had.

They used black cartridges because HG/SS and Black/White uses infrared (Pokewalker for HG/SS and instant trading/battling in B/W).
If it wasn't for that, they would have stayed gray like most DS cartridges.

Actually, the HG/SS cartridges are a deep, transparent red. Put it a light source and you'll see.

While I share and understand the TC's enthusiastic topic, I didn't really much care for the color of the cartridge. It was the game that defined it for me.

Yea I know! In 3rd grade when I first opened up Pokemon Ruby and saw it the cartridge was red, i was like "HOLY MOSES!!!"

my heart gold card is slightly darker though.

I just love the older games, they had much better Pokemon. But, Black & White is such a challenge for me with Oshawott XD

I alwayse liked the colored onse since I could tell if its a pokemon game or not buy looking at the cool colors they had.

Yeah they should, loved that feature.

i think the reason they removed it because the DS game cards are so small anyway and almost 90 percent of it is hidden unlike the gba where a bit pops out so the color is a bit appealing ...

Like omg the black cartridges totally clash with my white sidebag and rainbow fanny pack.

Ovirew

and that too :D

I wish they were still colored D:

The colors where great, i really miss them. ALright, Black and White have a black cartridge. But that's got more to do with the infra red i think.
