Have you been playing G/S VC non-stop?
 
Pretty much the title! Have you been reacting to the games in a crazy dedicated super positive way or has the fun sort of worn off now?

For me I've stopped... but that's only because I've been SUPER busy with a bunch of other things I haven't had time to sit down and play haha.

Swithdas October 5th, 2017 5:42 AM

I've been playing it on and off. I don't have anyone to trade/battle with so it takes a fair bit of the fun out if it.

colours October 5th, 2017 6:09 AM

I've been playing it on and off as well, but that's because of increasing obligations irl. I should actually play it more soon since I won't have that much free time/desire to play it after I start work. D:

Sawsbuck October 5th, 2017 7:30 AM

I haven't even played it yet because I need to try and get a replacement screen for my 3DS

Rengoku October 5th, 2017 7:32 AM

I've stopped thrice now.
Enjoyed the nostalgia but it got too boring and lacking and slow.
I have commitment in real life too.

LeedsUnitedForLife October 5th, 2017 3:49 PM

wish i had smeone to battle and trade with

Alex October 6th, 2017 4:38 AM

Up until a few days ago, yes. After I beat the E4, I kinda lost motivation to keep playing so much. Ive also been trying to hatch a shiny Houndour which hasn't been going so well, so I'm taking a small break hoping I can get back into the groove of it and beat the game soon

I really need this, especially those whom already found their legendary beasts so I can battle against them for the Pokedex entries to find mine.

Guest123_x1 October 6th, 2017 6:11 PM

I haven't played Gold or Silver much in the past several days. Similar to other people, it's because I've had lots of other things to do-same reason why I haven't played my other Pokémon games (Y, Alpha Sapphire, Moon, and Red/Blue/Yellow as well) either.

Exactly! I only properly have time to play on weekends. >.< But we have a three day weekend because of a holiday Monday so I plan to play to death. Still have to work out some of my team though, pity how annoying it is to get evo stones in these games..

ZeoStar October 6th, 2017 6:57 PM

Played through it slowly off and on, until kanto where i played a lot because i wanted to finish the game

charmanderflame October 7th, 2017 11:52 PM

Every chance I have, I play it. It is so awesome and makes me so happy :) T.T haha

Bounsweet October 8th, 2017 7:31 AM

Literally all of my down time has gone to playing Silver on my 3DS lol... When RBY came to VC I remembered feeling like those games dragged, and was low-key expecting that from GSC, but I forgot just how fun these games are since it's been so long since I played them.

Mimikyu402 October 9th, 2017 12:59 PM

Been playing both versions gold by my own and silver with a friend were we do a vs run and battle each other after every 2 gyms

Sydian October 9th, 2017 1:05 PM

I've been playing on and off. I like to play while watching videos or something because I'm taking my time catching and training a lot of Pokemon. Right now, I'm trying to catch up Pineco and Abra with my Quilava and Pidgeotto, so that's been kind of rough, aha. That's been slowing me down, but I'm getting close to getting back on track.

SaniOKh October 9th, 2017 2:16 PM

I've been doing that, and only that (oh, and also sleeping and going to work) since the games came out. I just beat Red in Silver, and with that, I'm done with both.

Bring on the Crystal version!!!

AliceBlaze October 10th, 2017 6:10 AM

I've been playing almost everyday since I got it. I just got all the Kanto badges the other day and now I'm currently breeding for shinies (so far, I got three Chikorita and one Eevee) while levelling up my team for fighting Red as well as filling my pokedex. I'll take a break when US/UM comes out and then come back to it when I've finished that game.

Ho-Oh October 24th, 2017 1:42 AM

It has now been a month! How far has everyone gotten now? :)

littlebeeb October 24th, 2017 8:55 AM

I went super hard on it when it released on the VC but haven't played in about a week or so... I caught Heracross though. :3

IRL obligations have kept me away, as well as avoiding having to grind because 2nd Gen movepools suck. D:

Imperator161 November 2nd, 2017 6:27 PM

I just haven't been playing games much in general lately, but Gold is still my go-to game before bed. I've unfortunately been wasting a lot of time resetting for different cap Pikachus in Sun, but almost all of my other free gaming time has gone to Gold for the past month. The Sun nonsense is over, at least, but today I played Super Mario Odyssey a bunch, so I think that's going to start taking some of my attention. But since I still need a before-bed game Gold will probably hold onto the spot for at least a few more months, and possibly for a lot of next year. I guess I might get hooked on USUM instead, but honestly, I think Gold is going to end up dominating for a while.

I make next to no progress, as I'm not all that focused when I'm sleepily playing, but I'm enjoying it so far. I have two badges and am getting to use a lot of interesting Pokemon. I think I just picked up Headbutt two nights ago, and am making my way towards Goldenrod.

colours November 2nd, 2017 6:29 PM

I sadly haven't touched Gold for a long time. I think it's in large part due to how busy I am irl, and it's also in part because I think the hype for GS VC is kinda dying down a fair bit, so there's no real reason for me to pick it back up again, sadly.

Another part of it is that the Johto half feels like it seriously drags on until at least the 7th or 8th Gym or so. It's kinda crazy how I'm at the 5th or 6th Gym and yet I only have about three or four Pokemon as a part of my main team. :s

Ho-Oh November 3rd, 2017 4:40 AM

The hype has died yea :( For me it isn't really the hype loss it is more lack of time/freedom lol Like I am SO wanting to play I just don't have the time. It's sad!

BlazingCobaltX November 5th, 2017 1:53 PM

No, actually, and that's not due to lack of interest. This is the absolute first time that my ears have been hurting due to the high notes in the music. Even though I've been playing Silver on cartridge for years, this has never happened before. And it's so bad to the point that I have to keep the volume really low or completely down, taking away half of the fun of replaying these games. I know they adjusted some things in the VC versions but I don't understand why upping the intensity of the higher pitches was a thing they did. It's stopped me from continuing for the moment and that's really unfortunate.

Absolitetion November 6th, 2017 12:09 AM

I played it a lot the first two weeks or so, but my interest declined rather quickly after winning the 16th Gym Badge. I am not really that bothered to beat Red.

It is funny that despite the game being pretty big (for its time, I guess?), it felt a little short.
I really dunno what else to do on it as I surely am not going to get them all and have no one to trade with to get as many as possible to a full Dex.

So yeah, the hype went quite the anti-climatic route.

Junkyard Guard November 6th, 2017 2:41 PM

I actually didn't know Gold and Silver were on the DS until I read this thread D:
