today marks the release of the jp version of pokemon heart gold/soul silver

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

[QUOTE="IronBass"] Hardly. The main series (not spin-off nor non-gaming related merch counted) are only 4 games (R/B/Y, G/S/C, R/S/E, P/D/Pl) and two remakes (FR/LG and HG/SS). That, in 10 years, is hardly saturation. The spin-offs are over saturated, that's true.dragonfly110

Making multiple versions of the same game and creating half hearted 'remakes' isn't saturating?

is anybody forcing you to buy all versions of the game? Its not like nintendo releasing multiple versions for yo u to choose from is a bad thing, if they only released one it would still get as many sales as both together.

Are they forcing me to? No

Is their intention to make me buy multiple copies? Yes

[QUOTE="gamedude234"]

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

I know quite a lot, I have more then 5 pokemon games, I beat them all.. And how?

Plus all the toys/anime/music/movies they released.

Yandere

i was talking about the main series. not the spin offs. which pokemon games did you "beat"? what does it mean when you "beat" a pokemon game? When you beat the pkmn league?WRONG.

Beating the Pokemon league is beating the "main storyline" (though it isn't much of one) because there are little to no sub/mini quests that is beating the game.

you clerly haven't properly played pokemon then. D/P/Pt add an "infinite" amount of gameplay thanks to wi-fi battles. you clearly haven't battled competivly. so, please:GET LOST.

An 'infinite' amount of gameplay? Having online matches with people from around the world that all have level 99 pokemon (and a good chance use action replay or some other program) adds a life time of replay value? I doubt it, other RPGs have online fighting, but they all have better combat.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="IronBass"] Not at all.gamedude234

I hate Final Fantasy, but they add new characters, add a new story, and most of the time drastically change the combat system.. Pokemon doesn't compare.

Excited? No, it's just like ****ing Guitar Hero.

Trainers? That's pretty much creating a character and reusing him at least 50 times throughout the whole game, then Final Fantasy creates new pedestrians for you to talk to.. And the story? "Leave your house to become a pokemon master, oh no some organization is doing something bad, beat them, beat the pokemon league", I wouldn't count that as a new story.

better graphics, 493 pokemon, and best of all: the POKEWALKER. google it if you don't know what it is.

its the same story that keep fans coming back. if you want a break, get pokemon mystery dugeon1/2/3, or pokemon ranger 1/2. all of them are great games. "some orginization is doing something bad?" THEY'RE DESTROYING THE WORLD!

When will people STOP BUYING THE SAME GAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN! clubsammich91

what a sophisticated sentence! the same game? no. what about the pokewalker? can you find something more original?

when you go grocery shopping, you can be training a pokemon at the same time. when you go for a daily half-hour run(which you should)you can be training your pokemon. whats wrong with that?Ifind it great. like other pokefans.

FF = Become Hero, travel the world, defeat villain, I wouldn't call that a new story either z:

Im not sure why so many people wanted a remake, anyway il probly end up playing it.

My favorite Hand held game of all time. Pokemon. Oh how I will never tire of you, despite you milking your users like there's no tomorrow.

Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island, Etrian Odyssey 1/2, and The Dark Spire aren't Japanese only, there way more then that also.. You just don't know much about niche games.

Have the sprites been changed? because all the new ones were lame SAGE_OF_FIRE

updated graphics more pokemon (although Id rather it if they just kept it Johto and Kanto like the original G/S) different story (seeing as Lance is a rocket admin now it seems different at least.) pokewalker, pokemon follow you, more rivals. And some more minor things I think.

still better than a kick in the pants.

Hell the whole "any pokemon can follow you" think sold me on it.

people, this is no rehash. IT"S THE MOTHER****ING REMAKE of the best pokemon games ever, Gold and Silver!!

Not really, I still have the original gold, silver, and crystal games. Are the new versions any different aside from what I'm assuming the addition of double battles?

[QUOTE="gamedude234"]

tell me, how much do you really know about pokemon? have you actually played it? have you seen all the great features HG and SS have? like all pokemon games. they always bring something new. why do you think its an over-saturated RPG?

gamedude234

ORLY??? lol

ok... soooo, you don't think trading pokemon with someone in australia when you could be in france? OK... someone can't socialize... bidoof: any pokemon can be strong if train correctly. also, MANY NEWCOMERS WANT TO KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME!!! why do you think they put in the intro? to bore you? "the last 20 games". WRONG. also, pokemon is spelt wrong. please don'tpost rubbish like this. it shows how immature you are. which nobody wants to know.

Why are you getting defensive over this? "someone can't socialize" lol

Well that someone must be you since you are taking this game way too seriously. The sun is good for you, it gives your skin some nutrients or something. Unless you are a vampire ofc.

And the only pokemon game I would ever consider buying after crystal would be a remake of crystal. Not excited for this at all.
