Well you guessed right, friend.

Two different games means being able to have two different teams.
I had both Gold and Silver when they came out and I'm doing the same with their remakes. Tradition, I suppose?
I'll probably replay HeartGold over and over and keep SoulSilver as my main game.

.. maybe.. I do tend to get attached to my Pokemon. lol

Oh yeah, and both figurines. That's a bonus.
Embarass my boyfriend some more and add them to my display of living room decorations. :P

Agreed. Same reason for me as well.

Hey everybody! Once a week, I will change my avatar to a video game character(s). If you have any suggestions, PM me. My current avi is of Hito-Shura from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne! It was suggested by TornZero. Someone better suggest the Space Core from Portal 2.

I want two so that I can finish one and keep it finished and try to obtain all Pokemon on it, and the second one is for the exclusive Pokemon and so I can replay though the game when ever I want.

The extra pokewalker would probably be a good reason.

I don't spend enough time on Pokemon to justify getting both versions though.

I'm getting both because...
  • one will be used to rush and go straight to my favorite part, the battle frontier. <3 the other I'll "take it s l o w"
  • one will be start-over material while the other will remain the "headquarters" version and be the recipient of everything and never start over.
  • I like buying things in 2's
  • I want three places to try out my frontier teams, hahaha. [/greedy bastard]

I reserved them both because my little brother wants to play pokemon too and I will use his to store some of my pokemon on *nods*.

Now the reason why I got Platinum when I already had Pearl was because I knew I would need more space to trade pokemon. I thought that getting Platinum was a waste of money, but now not so much.

Lots of people get multiple copies so they can replay the game without losing all the events. Others like to collect the games. But in the end, it's all just a matter of personal preference...

Besides, two isn't bad... I know someone on another forum who is getting four. Since it's a private forum, I'll just post a screen of the post.

One to keep all your Pokemon on so you don't lose future events, and one to replay whenever you want, there's also the exclusive Pokemon if you don't have a friend with the other game or something.

Better than trading IMO.

Geez, I'd shell out $80 for both games if I could. If I wanted to grab both copies here it would cost me $140.

Are you sure there's going to be a 3rd game in this series? FR/LG didn't have a 3rd, and since these are similar in the sense that they're a remake of an older game I wouldn't be surprised if it followed the same path. Especially with Gen 5 being announced already.

As for me? Buying both is tempting but I think I'm just going to stick with one. It would be great to have a main game and then one I can restart whenever I want, but I don't think I'll do that.

Why both you ask me!?
Well, First I got both in Japanese, cause the exclusive in the pokemon.
But I'm getting SoulSilver ONLY in the english, -since I have HG- I can use the exclusive and trade over to my SS. :3

But if I did get both, its for the Version's exclusive.

Because I want version exclusives.. But that's not the main reason. HG for my bro, and SS for me.

I suppose I'll also end up getting both versions. lol I always like to reset my games and start fresh..! But I don't want to lose everything I've gathered aswell during my first game..! So that'd be why I guess.. :P

It's meaningless to buy both.

I asked the guy at Gamestop what's the big difference between the games and he just said it's mainly a one or two Pokemon difference.

If you're gonna do what I'm doing, is play the game over and over and trade all your Pokemon to D/P/Pt and get the Pokemon you can't get in your HG/SS game off the GTS.

It's better than spending another $30.

One I'll use for my main, and the other I'll use to play over and over when I feel like it.

Some Pokémon are only available to catch in a specific version, so if someone wanted to complete their Pokédex, then they could if they had both versions.
