    Im just going to buy it because I dont really see a point to downloading it. If I buy it, I can use it on the go.

    Since I frown upon downloading ROMs of games that aren't even out yet, I'm buying it. Besides I never planned on downloading it anyway.

    Games from the Pokemon series are the only games I buy. I'll be getting Heart Gold the day it comes out! :D

    Only reason I bought a DS. xD

    Although if I don't get my Wii then I'll probably just use a flashcard if I don't end up getting Ranch:

    I don't believe you can communicate with stuff like PBR and Ranch on the flip side, however - but yes.

    I'm buying SoulSilver, which I'll be pre-ordering for that Awesome Lugia figure when I go to get the Shiny Pichu from GameStop. I've been waiting for this game since they announced FireRed/LeafGreen.

    Not to mention that I'm against emulating roms/isos of any current generation games. I'm only okay with ones for NES-GBA systems, and thats only if they don't have the NES/SNES/GEN/N64/Etc. game you want on the Virtual Console.

    I might download the ROM of it as currently I don't have an operating DS Lite :(. However, I definitely plan to buy it, assuming I buy a DS Lite at some point. While "piracy" isn't bad per se, I definitely enjoy the Pokemon games enough to buy them, assuming I have a DS and money, of course.

    I'll also be preordering when I go to the event (if I happen to have the money then). I can't wait to get it.

    EDIT: I'm getting SoulSilver.

    I'm definately going to buy SoulSilver. Even if I think GSC sucks, HGSS seems awesome.. simply because it has better graphics. :D

    I reserved HeartGold today and after that while still being in the same shopping center I decided to reserve SoulSilver too just for the heck of it. 0.0; Only because I want a legit Teddiursa, though.

    I've already preordered a version of HeartGold and SoulSilver. I did download the SS with English patch, but never played it. It didn't feel right to do it.
