Well, it all worked out in the end. 31st March was just a bluff on Amazon's part and I instead had it delivered through my door yesterday (Saturday) morning. :D I'm so glad too, cos I don't think i'd have lasted the weekend without it lol. Such an awesome game! I'm now outside the Union Cave...

I'm pretty despondent at the moment, considering I pre-ordered from Amazon with Free Super Saver Delivery. Little did I know until it was dispatched today that the estimated delivery time is listed as 31st March!!! If that's an accurate indication of my delivery date, then i'm absolutely...

Congrats. :) Brings back memories of my first ever shiny in Silver, which was a Pidgey just south of Ecruteak on my first Silver file. This was before I knew that shinies existed apart from Red Gyarados (we didn't have extensive internet databases of shiny sprites back in 2001, believe it or not...

I was thinking of doing this very thing on my latest Silver playthrough - y'know, for a bit more of a challenge and longevity to the game. However, like others have said it'd be a lengthy process grinding your new team against wild Pokemon and the difficulty curve in terms of trainers and Gym...

Talking of starting fresh, once i've successfully defeated Red and have the choice of a Kanto and Hoenn starter, I plan on boxing my Hall of Fame team that will have helped me collect 16 badges and defeat the Elite 4. From then, i'm going to start from Pallet Town with my choice of Kanto starter...

I've never traded in a pre-prepared team for a new file before, and it's unlikely i'll start with SoulSilver. Feraligatr is a cert for my team as Totodile was my first ever starter on Silver all those years ago, and i'm intent on building a strong team using Pokemon that I catch within the game...

Totodile is going to be my starter, so with my policy of not doubling up on types in my party, I doubt i'll use the Red Gyarados in my in-game team. However, I may very well train it in my post-badge/Red quest. Thinking about it, I never really used the Red Gyarados in Silver or Crystal apart...

RBY: - Getting Red and Blue for Christmas in 2000, and favouring Blue way more playing it through Stadium because I didn't have a GameBoy. - Finding Pikachu in Viridian Forest for the first time with its adorable fat sprite. - Starting with Bulbasaur on my first Blue file, and soon after...

This. I've been looking forward to these games since their announcement and vowed that i'd wait to play them for the first time when they come out in England (America at a push if I can find an import) but not before. The anticipation will only make these games even more enjoyable to play once...

I don't see why a lot of the fanbase dislike R/S/E. For me it gains a lot of brownie points for introducing unique Pokemon designs and a region detached from Kanto and Johto, thus making it a region in its own right. In my opinion Hoenn is also as good as, or if not better than Johto. While...

It is questionable indeed whether GameFreak even have the intention to make a third version to HGSS, and of course it's all down to them whether one materialises or not. Like you say, there's also the fact that almost every Pokemon is already obtainable in the remakes or if not, they are in...

I'm a little dubious about this reasoning because, while it looks a completely viable reason, there is still plenty that could be changed around and included for a third version. From what i've read/seen of HG/SS' Eusine and Suicune subplot it is a little bit watered down from Crystal's subplot...

If no third game to HGSS is ever made (not delving into that), then these are the changes I would make to the games so that they're the perfect Johto games: - Make Kotone either resemble Kris a little more, or keep Kris in rather than replace her. - Give Mt. Moon its BGM back (from what i've...

I haven't posted here yet, so I figured I should post my progress as a trainer in Sinnoh on my Diamond and Platinum. :3 My first ever Sinnoh journey on Diamond was a great success, as I befriended numerous Pokemon and built an established team consisting of Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray...

As much as i'd like this to be a HAL Labs game (they made Pokemon Stadium 1/2 and Pokemon Snap - fantastic games), this will most likely be a Genius Sonority one. If this is to be the case, then i'm hoping for a follow up to Colosseum and XD, which brings Orre under siege from Cipher once more...
