Still haven't caught'em all?

Postby KagayakiWashi » Fri May 08, 2009 6:29 am

In case you didn't hear, Nintendo said there was going to be some big seller coming out towards the end of the year. Alot of people speculated it might be a remake of Gold and Silver for the DS, and they were right. This game is supposed to be a remake with some additional features. You can read IGN's article about it here:
http://ds.ign.com/articles/980/980931p1.html
"To be a good listener, you must acquire a musical culture...you must be familiar with the history and development of music, you must listen...to receive music you have to open your ears and wait for the music, you must believe that it is something you need ...to listen is an effort, and just to hear has no merit. A duck hears also." - Igor Stravinsky

i never had gold or silver but i did have yellow and blue. i might go after this at some point. i still havent beat yellow or blue and iv had those for 10 years! yello is realy hard because the firdt jym is rock so your starter(that you have NO choive over) cant even affect rock. anyway i never saw a need to get silver or gold because there didnt look like there where that many more. but i might get it if they have alternate evolutions if transfered to platinum.

I'm tired of all these pokemon games coming out... D:

They should just remake Red and Blue for the DS or something. XD I'd buy that. Granted I guess I should just get the GBA versions.

Now if only Nintendo would just make a game where you can actually catch them all without having to go to events or anything.

Eh, I guess this was inevitable considering the fact that they already re-released Blue and Red...

I agree with Sparx. What they REALLY need though is an MMO. Pokemon lends itself perfectly to an MMO.

Nintendo will not be making a Pokemon MMO any time soon (possibly not at all)...why? Because they are stubborn and just recently gave into gamers crying for online play in their games. To enter the realm of MMO is too scary for them and not what gamers want (in their minds...).

Well, knowing that it took them about ten years just to get the franchise online, one should probably expect another seven years for an MMO release. :eyeroll::lol:

All the more time for them to make more pokemon to cram into it so it will be more impressive.

Which at that point, catching all 5,350 pokemon might seem impossible at first, but the GameShark shall resurrect at the appropriate time. :)

Maaaan, this is actually pretty shaweet. Crystal was my first version so having that gen revived is awesome and I am so looking forward to it. xD

And no. No, no, no to a Pokemon MMO. I don't even see how that would work and I certainly don't want to be bombed with "omgwtfbbq, i needs halp" and "wich pokeyman shuld i chooose?" when I want to enjoy some pocket monsters, nooooo. We already have Battle Revolution if you want to battle other foos.

I remember Gold was where my interest in Pokemon originally waned. A friend of mine had a Japanese copy, back before the English localization was out so it was sort of a big deal then, and he let me mess around with it for a couple minutes. Nothing about it really grabbed me, though some of the new species of Pokemon looked cool (some not). I just decided that the first generation was enough for me. Probably won't be picking this up either.

Though since it was such a hassle to get all of them back when there were only 151, I don't think I'd bother now that we have well over 500. Sometimes I think I might spring for something smaller scale though.

I didn't know there was a thread of this already, lol. I'm very excited for the remakes of both along with other games coming this year and next XD
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Silver was my fav so I'm gonna have to get this.

There are rumors though of PokéMon traits that some will have (eg. a ruffled ear) that can be passed down through breeding.
"Who is this?" they said to Me
'That the wind and waves obey
Come, let's hang Him on a tree
That His reign should pass away'
But here I am I say to you
Though you turn away, it is My will
To love you for forevermore
Peace be still, peace be still

This idea violates the marketing idea behind the games to begin with. I mean, "Gotta catch'em all" any way you can, right. Come on, mommy and daddy, let's go halfway across the country so I can get that new legendary Pokémon. That was the marketing GENIUS of Pokemon. The older players were just smart enough to get gamesharks... And sell Mew to neighborhood kids, like my friend did in the red and blue days.

I totally agree. Having to go to events or trading them can be a real pain in the foot. :shady:

With that out of the way I am glad that they are making a remake of these two games. It really brings back the memories. It will be cool to see the Johto Region with more color and possibly some 3-D elements like Diamond and Pearl.
