I, personally, think that the Gold and Silver games should be the same as the old ones. Sure, Firered and Leafgreen updated things a little and gave you extra treats at the end because it was a game special. That too, will be true for HeartGold and SoulSilver.
But, I don't think they should just fling in Sinnoh Pokemon or change the layout of the game, remove whole cities and replace them with Sinnoh cities or add Sinnoh gewgaws and gizmos just because everyone likes them.
Everyone just a week ago was complaining about Platinum/Diamond/Pearl and how much "D/P/P sukz arse &&&& R lyk digimon &&& no 1 lyks those gaems &&& there pokaman r ugly"
And
"i mis T old gaems lyk glod & slivre & red & blue & yeller cuz theye iz kewl-R & better-er than stooped d/p/p"
Now everyone's suddenly all
"GOLD AND SILVER ARE THE WORST GAMES EVER AND ALL THE POKEMON FROM THE SECOND GENERATION SUCK AND THE STORY SUCKS AND THE GAME SUCKS AND THE POKEMON LEAGUE SUCKS AND IT'S NOT SNOWING AND I WANT IT TO SNOW AND I WANT THE GYM LEADERS TO HAVE SINNOH POKEMON AND NEW SINNOH STUFF AND REDESIGN THE MAP THEIR MAP WAS CRAPPY AND I WANT CELEBI BUT NINTENDO HATES US SO WE CAN'T HAVE THEM, I WANT SINNOH BACK"
Blahbityblahblahblah
It was a sluggish whining before. Now it's just RAGE.
Sure, Sinnoh's kinda cool.. the game is the best part. The Pokemon, I kind of like. It's new and creative and I give them a triple A plus for it. But when they're remaking a game, they're purposely trying to be unoriginal---nothing is more unoriginal than a remake of something. It's OBVIOUSLY not going to be Sinnoh, it'll be Gold and Silver with a few tweaks.
Gold was the first Gameboy game--let alone Pokemon gameboy game--that I EVER played and yes, the storyline was crappy and outdated for it's TIME ten years ago and will DEFINITELY be outdated now. But, what are you guys complaining about?
