Are you going to keep playing?
 
Now that HGSS has been released in Japan and is well on its way for the US and Europe, will you still play the original GSC series?

Since none of mine are dead yet, I'm sure I will. Silver will always be my favorite.

Timbjerr September 17th, 2009 6:02 PM

Only for challenge runs and such. HGSS seems to have epically improved on GSC imo

Sydian September 17th, 2009 6:21 PM

Well, I'm just hoping HGSS isn't a let down like I thought FRLG was. I mean, at first, I thought they were great games, but after a while, I realised I much preferred the older games, and I find myself playing RBY more often than FRLG. They're not terrible games, but they are my least favorite in the series.

HGSS does look more promising than FRLG did, though. Anyway, I'll probably really enjoy it, but I just don't see myself never playing GSC again. I frequently go through phases with games and I'll only play a certain game for about two weeks, maybe a little longer, so I'll eventually get the itch for GSC.

Munch Dog September 17th, 2009 8:56 PM

I'm sure I'll go back to it every now and then, but with HG/SS I'll probably play it a lot less than I did before. Plus I also played the crap out of the original G/S/C when I was younger and I first bought them so yeah. :p

Niprop September 17th, 2009 10:20 PM

Of course I would! ^.^

Would being the proper word because...

MY BATTERY DIED AND I CAN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT! :*[

ArcanineOod September 17th, 2009 10:28 PM

Lulz, what Niprop said, apart from the fact it's not that I can't find a replacement, I just haven't come around to trying and I'm not sure if I can be bothered, you know? If they still worked, I would play them. After all, I didn't stop playing R/B/Y when FR/LG came out! ^_^

I still play my Pokemon Crystal version sometimes


:t354:TG

Lady Gaga September 18th, 2009 4:37 PM

Probably only for runs and challenges, so i guess, ya.

Though, i do plan on replaying Crystal after I finish HG, so i can compare! =D

Zero° September 18th, 2009 4:40 PM

Why of course. The reason, at first, that I didn't like HG/SS is because the originals, GSC, wouldn't be so popular. But, yes I'll continue to play my Pokemon Gold and Crystal. My Gold's battery dried up two years ago, but I still have it with me, because it was my first video game, so it holds alot of good memories for me. Same thing whenever my Crystal dies. I might download a Gold ROM, so I can continue to play it whenever Crystal dies.

Tudj September 18th, 2009 6:52 PM

Of course I will, maybe just for nostalgia reasons. Also, who would honestly give up playing one of the greatest games in its era.

DestinyBender September 18th, 2009 6:54 PM

I still play Crystal. I laugh at what the PokéBall items look like, though xD

The best thing about Johto are the starters. And Stantler.

Lawl.

FLORYN September 18th, 2009 11:58 PM

Yes because i love this games.

xxFrozenFlower September 19th, 2009 11:05 AM

I probably will~ <33
Somewhat retro, but still super fun!
Until my Silver dies on me. ): Like my Gold and Crystal...
Man, I wish I wasn't afraid of changing the battery. ^__~;;

Sydian September 19th, 2009 12:51 PM

I've actually been playing Gold and Crystal in preparation for SoulSilver whenever it decides to get here. I did that for Platinum, too, only I was playing Diamond and Pearl like a mad man instead.

Skaterzpenguin September 19th, 2009 4:55 PM

I'm playing my Crystal version now so yea, I will still play these games when HG/SL are out. =D

Zeta Sukuna September 19th, 2009 9:53 PM

Yeah, I am... when the final stretch begins, and HG/SS is less then a month away, then Gold is going to be the only game I'll be playing.

-Leaf September 20th, 2009 12:12 AM

I dunno.
Maybe ill play on on VBA on my PC when i feel like it. Its a great time killer.
HG/SS Looks REALLY awesome, but I didn't had as much as hype I had with platinum. (Was counting days till it comes out and got it a week later.)
I'm not that hyped over HG/SS as much as i like the 2nd gen... I'm still hoping for a Crystal remake even that its not going to come.

Miss Soupy September 20th, 2009 6:34 AM

Probably to a certain extent, but certainly not as much as before. I'd replay for nostalgia purposes, and I'm sure there will be that one thing in HGSS that I wish was carried through from GSC. Aaand I might as well have my final moments with it while it's on its deathbed, waiting for its battery to die.

Sasuke. September 20th, 2009 6:46 AM

Without a dout.
Crystal was amazing. :3

ShadowKaiserin September 26th, 2009 12:01 AM

Are you Kidding? Of Course! Crystal has always been my favorite game, and I'll play it for all eternity, even if I have to keep replacing the battery for the rest of my life.

Iditarod October 4th, 2009 12:14 PM

Basically, what everyone else who calls themself a Pokemon fan is saying - heck yeah! Gold is and will always be one oF my favorite video games of all time, and you guys have now inspired me to start back playing it (I was kind of in a lag) in prep for HG/SS. Sounds like a good idea to me.

RivalGator October 4th, 2009 12:40 PM

h hell, I will ALWAYS go back to my roots. I have played Crystal more than any other Pokemon game, and it is my absolute favorite. I will always have amazing memories with it, and I will always favor it as my favorite Pokemon game. I simply can't wait for HG/SS, but Crystal will always, always be my pick. And I will be playing it just as often now, as I did then. I am in SUCH a huge hype for this game to come out! It's going to be an amazing game! It's going to be just like the release of Gold and Silver all over again! The good times are gonna come back!

Dick's Sporting Goods October 4th, 2009 8:32 PM

well yes becus i dont have a ds

if i did i would play heratgold jus like you guys

Pokeyomom October 4th, 2009 9:26 PM

Of course. Crystal is my fav outta them all. You can't beat the good ole orginal;) I love the classic spriting.

Esp1222 October 5th, 2009 5:35 AM

Hell yeah. Those are the only games with the three punches, Ice, Fire, Thunder, as TMs.
