Pkmn HG&SS for DS or DSi?
 
Hey everyone,

With the release of the dsi and the announcement of these new games, I started wondering.
Would HG and SS include dsi features? Even so, wouldn't that mean we all need to buy a dsi?
Caus people told me dsi games only work on dsi :s.

No you could also play them on the normal DS if they are DSi enhanced cards. If so then all DSes would play them just without the features if its not on the DSi. Otheriwse if its DSi exclusive that would mean only DSi. Would I want features? I have no idea still iffy.

I believe they will just release it as a regular DS game because Pokemon usually releases games out when the next system already came out. For example, Crystal Version came out in 2001 when the Game Boy Advance was out in 2001 and Emerald Version came out in 2005 when the DS was already out in 2004.

Should be backwards compatible so I don't think there's too much to worry about.

billi1000 May 10th, 2009 2:01 AM

well its kind of logical that there should be a connection between the games and the dsi, well if nothing comes out that makes u crave to buy a dsi, then nobody would bye it, so i think it will work on both ds and dsi, but more features will be available wen played on dsi

Ivysaur May 10th, 2009 2:05 AM

I guess it will have some DSi features if you have it, but I really hope it works for the normal DS, the same way G/S worked for the old Game Boy as well as for the GBC.

I guess we'll know soon, anyways.

I hope it's for DS, i only recently got a DS lite. I don't want to have to buy a third one just yet!

While I don't want to have to buy a third one, at all. The DSi is just something I don't need, what with all the consoles I have... XD

Anyway, I don't think people will have to worry about the DS/DSi compatibility concerns, because if it does have DSi-based functions, they will probably just activate when the game is inserted into a DSi console. While in the DS, that door will just be closed. I'm hoping, at least. I honestly would lose hope in Nintendo, if they started forcing fans to buy an entirely new console, just to both sell the console and the game. Though I wouldn't put it past them...

Companies + Additional Features that require a new console = $$$

CrazyCubone May 10th, 2009 2:48 AM

I think I'll move on to Sony or something if it's DSi only. >_<

ShinjisLover May 10th, 2009 3:14 AM

I don't have DSi, so I'd just play them on the DS. I'm pretty cure sure you can do that.

Nearsighted king of Ice May 10th, 2009 3:14 AM

if it's dsi exclusive then good for me i have a dsi but if it is what feature would it be? taking pics or something it would be better if it's for all DS's

Nearsighted king of Ice May 10th, 2009 3:27 AM

i hate my dsi even thouhg it had those features, I think that HG and SS should be for all DS models from the old DS to the new DSi cuz if it's for the new dsi not much pokefan would buy the game

s0nido May 10th, 2009 3:29 AM

If they made Hg/Ss DSi exclusive, I would shoot Satoshi Tajiri. Because it'd be just plain mean to have the long awaited remakes available only on some expensive Nintendo console that not many people may be able to afford. I don't want Hg/Ss to have DSi exclusive features because I don't have a DSi :S

If it's a DSi Exclusive game i'll trade you my DSi for your DS (LOL)
they should make it for all DS consoles So more and more people can buy it

ashketchumandpikachufan May 10th, 2009 3:34 AM

It will work for both DS's so quit worrying oh look at the main page of bulbapedia and youll see a screenshot where it says generation II remakes confirmed!!!!

giradialkia May 10th, 2009 3:40 AM

It'll be for any DS. Screw the DSi.
Nuff said.

.inLOVE May 10th, 2009 4:58 AM

I'm pretty sure it's the same on both systems, since DSis are not extremely popular yet.

JP May 10th, 2009 5:12 AM

I'm actually thinking they'll just release them as DS games, without any DSi features and probably keep those for the next Gen games.

spike6958 May 10th, 2009 5:14 AM

Ok,i know this is a little off topic but let me clear something up about the DS and DSi, up until now we have just had are basic DS cards that work on all DS systems, but now with the DSi there will be two new carts out, DSi enhanced and DSi exclusive, DSi enhanced carts work on DS, DSlite & DSi, but if they are inserted into a DSi you get one or two enhanced features, where as DSi exclusive cart will have a huge amount of exclusive features and can ONLY be played on DSi, the DSi exclusive carts can also be used to run multi-cart games, so on topic HG/SS may have DSi exclusive carts but they will also have carts that will run on DS & DSlite as well, i hope this clears up any confusion people are feeling.

BHwolfgang May 10th, 2009 7:28 AM

I really hope for it to be for all DS's. However, if it is exclusive for the DSi, then I will get it. This game is too much to ignore it.

... Well, we just have to wait and see, shall we?

dotKarma May 10th, 2009 8:23 AM

I need a new DS anyway, so either way I won't mind. I've still got the original DS and part of the hinge that keeps the two parts together has broken.

Gummy May 10th, 2009 1:40 PM

I'd love to see an extra floor in the Casino where all the DSi-only minigames are. It'd also be pretty cool if Nintendo started making add-ons for games that could be downloaded off the Nintendo Shop.

Light Lucario May 10th, 2009 3:51 PM

I doubt that the games will only be for the DSi system. While there are some new functions on the DSi that could be taken advantage of in these games, I don't think that there would be enough special functions to make them only for the DSi. Besides that, I haven't heard of any other games that are exclusive to the DSi system and I really don't want to buy a DSi since they're so expensive and I'm pretty happy with my regular DS system.

Kyouya May 10th, 2009 3:55 PM

dsi
 
i hope it has dsi feature that would be cool

Penumbra May 10th, 2009 4:01 PM

Please don't encourage stuff like that..
What if some Game Freak higher-up is reading this thread right now
and has a change of heart!?

DSi exclusive? no. Maybe some new apps for the pokegear
that are exclusive, but that's about it. Please. Don't let
your fans suffer just because they aren't Bill Gates.

But factually, I think it would make more sense if it wasn't
system-based. Pokemon D/P Barely had touch screen use,
Platinum added some Touch Screen mini-games in Wi-Fi Plaza,
HG/SS will probably have more touch screen.. But hopefully no
exclusive features. Think about it this way.

DSp = GBA
DSl = GBAsp
DSi = GameBoy Micro

There wasn't any exclusive features that were system-based, now
were there?
