How popular is it?
 
Wow, already? I already see a Heart Gold and Soul Silver group here and it's getting so popular that I'm up to this height up in popularity (check chart)

Taking things too far now, guys.

And the award for most pointless thread goes to...
KNYAZ!

It's popular because many people have been asking FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. :D

Ayselipera May 11th, 2009 4:52 PM

Everyones excited becaues ever since the remake of the Kanto Versions we all wanted the Johto versions. I can easily say that they are the best pokemon games ever.

Heart's Soul May 11th, 2009 4:55 PM

Mine isn't the most pointless thread. I mean, sure, this is probably Nintendo's smartest move in 10 years (regarding pokemon, 1 year if you count Kirby Super Star Ultra), but it gets too much hype. Sure a sequel, but why that much hype?

JP May 11th, 2009 4:59 PM

...again, like someone else said, because people have been waiting for these games for quite some time now.

Tyrantrum May 11th, 2009 5:00 PM

Because it was one of the greatest games ever made by Nintendo. Being able to goto two regions, getting 16 badges. This is the best Challenge ever.

And, are you with me? Imagine this: the Johto and Kanto region...HITTING WI-FI! :D
People would love to battle over Wi0Fi in Johto and Kanto! :D

Heart Gold and Soul Silver are very popular in the pokemon forums and websites, but not in the World. Since they were confrimed just a few days ago only pokemon fans and some common people (that don't care about the news) know about them. Their names are not even in google or youtube...

Azonic May 11th, 2009 5:05 PM

Ever since FireRed and LeafGreen got remade from Red, Blue, and Yellow, a Gold and Silver remake is all the Pokemon fanbase talks about. Almost everyone wanted one. It has so many new features too, and being able to go to two regions. I can't say I'm surprised that the word about GSDS is spreading so quickly.

Heart's Soul May 11th, 2009 5:06 PM

I got millions of results from Google and it is in Youtube. And I'm up to my neck saying how great it is. I personally think that people are just overreacting, it's just a game. Did you do this about Diamond/Pearl? No, wait. The forum was flooded. You know what? I'm up to my neck in this. I'm a fan of HeartGold and SoulSilver, but... I think I got every possible GSC game now.

Crystal
ShinyGold
Soul Silver

Yeah, that's it.

EDIT: We only got 16 seconds of video. That's it.

JP May 11th, 2009 5:09 PM

lol, people get excited for games... That's just how it is. I remember the hype for games such as Assassin's Creed, it was pretty big. Pokemon is no different. It's just human nature to get excited for things, I don't see why it should bother you this much.

Heart's Soul May 11th, 2009 5:11 PM

I've never heard of Assassin's Creed before. GTA 4 got less hype than this.

Glaceon_ May 11th, 2009 5:17 PM

Pokemon has a phenomenal fanbase and if you didn't realise that from being on a forum full of Pokemon fans... I've got nothing to say to you. XD

I can't speak for everyone, but I can guess that a lot of Pokemon fans think that the second Generation of games were the best. When you put 'remake' in with that, you get fans attacking by the thousands, wanting to know all about what the game is going to be like, what will be included in it, how this will work with that, etc.

Pokemon arguably has the biggest fanbase of any gaming series.

JP May 11th, 2009 5:17 PM

Even if you've never heard of Assassin's Creed (which is quite ridiculous...), or that GTA4 didn't receive as much hype, it still doesn't tell me why you should be this bothered about these games receiving this much hype.

AJ™ May 11th, 2009 5:19 PM

Half the fun of a new game is trying to accurately predict the new features.
Everyone loves shooting out their best explanations for things they see in previews or pictures.

I thought that was... never mind. It's just that games with a lot of hype = flooding to the extreme, which causes a terrible impact on the internet. My internet barely loads a page now!

16 seconds is more than enough time, isn't it? Plus, predicting new features is one thing. Playing them is better!

AJ™ May 11th, 2009 5:25 PM

But we can't play right now, so we must predict what the rest of Johto looks like now!

Retro Bug May 11th, 2009 5:28 PM

It's the hype of the game. Everyone wants to know everything. Plus it's one of the best games. (IMO) So of course there going to be a overload of activity going on. Especially if you like speculating. Don't except it to settle down much, well maybe after the Jap. Release (1-2 months), but even then not a lot.

AJ™ May 11th, 2009 5:31 PM

Once more information is released, (A few weeks before Japanese release), this section is going to become a madhouse. People will be posing like crazy. It was just like that during DPPL.

PC has been doing that since before the games were released. :/

And yeah, pretty much what everyone else said. We're just speculating what we might get to enjoy in the release of the game, and I for one have been waiting long enough to deserve a bunch of conversations about it. :P

CollinP May 11th, 2009 5:35 PM

hehe, ur up to your neck now, wait till the actual game comes out, haha
(ps, g/s were the most popular games back then with over 23 mil copies sold)

You have committed a sin against the gaming community. Go to Wikipedia. NAO.

Anyways, like countless others have said, it's because it's all we've wanted since FR/LG were announced.

JP May 11th, 2009 5:46 PM

So you hate hype on games because of the "extreme flooding" they can cause? haha, that sounds pretty ridiculous dude.

Gummy May 11th, 2009 5:50 PM

Among the kids that still play Pokemon at my school, it is extremely popular. I thought that I, being the only one that still visited Pokemon forums would at least be an expert on the subject, but after the first night of information, it has spread amongst all the fans I know.

I think it's due to the popularity of informational sites such as Serebii and Bulbapedia.
