I have always been a pokemon fan, but I stopped playing really after the Gold/Silver era. I had Sapphire, but never got far and stopped playing. Because Gold is one of my favorite games of all time, I HAD to get this remake. I had it reserved for several months now, and it was well worth the wait. This game alone has gotten me back into pokemon big time, and now I plan to get all the past ones I don't have. I'm also looking forward to the 5th generation games coming out later this year.\

But anyway, just wanted to say how incredible this game is. If you liked Gold/Silver and you played it as a kid, this will bring back a lot of memories and will be very nostalgic. It's also very new and has things in it that keep it fresh. The online also adds a whole other layer to it. Expect a full review sometime soon, but in the meantime I highly recommend it!
