Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
I'm not sure if there are a lot of people who will be interested in this, but I thought it was significant. :)

Nintendo have announced that Pokemon Gold and Silver are getting a remake for the DS.

It must be totally awesome to essentially have a license to print money.

HeartGold and SoulSilver? Strange names, but it could be worse.

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

Totally agreed . . . although I have to admit that Pokemon is aimed at children about 11yrs old at the absolute maximum so from that perspective it could be considered as fine.

True. Perhaps older people like myself will look at the name and go, "Eugh.", but then again, I've watched and played quite a bit of strange stuff when I was much younger.

Re: Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
Cool. Always wanted to play those. Maybe if my sister gets it, she'll let me have a whack.
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Seconded for great justice.

No one predicted this!

Lies. The Pokemon community has seen this coming ever since FireRed and LeafGreen came out. It was inevitable.

Hmm... it would be a huge nostalgia trip to replay Gold/Silver. Especially with how well FireRed/LeafGreen redid their generation, this is something to look forward to.

Re: Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
The DS does seem like a good money-printer for Nintendo, though. If somebody doesn't have it, they'll want to have it ... like my sister.

Bumping this because I just finished Pokemon Platinum, beat the champ and got the National Dex, and I'm starting to import my LeafGreen and Emerald critters.

Anyone else here have Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and want to trade friend codes?

I have platinum Galemp.

Got it purely for nostalgia haven't played since FRLG, then discovered how fun competitive battling is.

Haven't played for a while but I was working on IV breeding so I could get a "sandstorm" party to level 100.  I don't cheat so I don't have any level 100 but I would like to have a match when I have time. :)

Re: Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
Sweet! Same sort of thing here--I played the first generation (Red) on GameBoy Pocket, and actually competed my Pokedex. I never got a GBA, so when I got my DS I got LeafGreen, Emerald and Platinum and I've been in heaven.

My friend code is 2622-0539-8916. All my Pokemon are in their 50s right now, except for a few lvl 70-80 Legendaries. Are you available now?

Re: Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
No unfortunately I'm not, long day.  :sigh:

Mondays and Thursdays I will be at work from 8-5 then I have class From 6-10.  But Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Fridays I'll be available from 6:00 pm CST - till whenever.

So I guess either PM me a time or I'll PM you on Tuesday and see if your busy. :)

BTW, I have quite a few around lvl 60 to 70.  I don't have any legendaries I fiddle mostly in the underused and overused tiers.  But don't mind going against legendaries at all. :D  Another advantage you will have if you IV/EV train is that most of my IV bred/EV trained are around lvl 30. :p

Re: Pokemon Gen II remakes announced
I haven't gotten into the professional training/breeding scene yet, but now that I'm champ in three generations I'll give it a shot. :)
