My Reasons why I am looking forward to this game.
-Favorite Region
-Favorite Gym Leaders
-Favorite Starters
-Get to start off with a Johto Pokemon again, but with better graphics. (Now, I don't have to fill the Hoenn dex in Emerald to get a Johto starter. YAY!)
-Favorite Legendaries: Ho-Oh, Lugia, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.
-New Girl
-Favorite Rival. The best one imo. (Not too fond of Gary, Brendan, or Barry.)
-Most unique beginning of the game. Elm didn't tell you you were going to be trainer. He just told you to go to Mr. Pokemon's house, then he let you get the Mystery egg, then said you can keep your starter and go to Violet City for your first badge. (The other games automatically tell you you're going to be a trainer.)
-Your rival stole a Pokemon and isn't your friend.
-You can easily get your starter to level 17 before battling Falkner.
-Sudowoodo is funny.
-Radio on Pokegear.
-Starter now follows you again. (Favorite feature of Yellow version.)
-Enjoyed GS and Yellow version.
-Some of my favorite pokemon were in Johto.
-Only game with TWO REGIONS-Liked the GS Misty better than the RBY/FrLg one.
-Red in Mount Silver
-Gary/B/G is a GYM LEADER.
-It didn't get boring b/c of the two regions. Once I got a little tired of Kanto, I liked returning to Johto. (I didn't mix the two up, just so you know. It was Johto, then Kanto, then return to Johto for bug catching contests, and going to Mount Silver.)
-So much to do.
-Best music
-(Wasn't fond of Hoenn because I loved GS so much.)
-More land than water.
-Apricorns made by Kurt. (I like Friend Ball, Love Ball, Moon Ball, Lure Ball, etcetera better than the new ones.)
-Day and Night returning in Johto. :)
-Pokegear.
-And so much more. ^_^
