4th Gen 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.

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

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

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 = $$$

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

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

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

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

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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.
