There are so many reasons why I'm excited for HGSS. So many that I cannot even sufficiently get them down in one post without making the page much longer than it usually is.
Ok, first is the nostalgia. I'm looking forward to playing the game because every step I take in the game is something else that I'll remember from my little kid days of playing the game. An example is certain Pokemon being battled or seen, Slowpoke Well, the Tin Tower, the awesome music, and so much more. It'll be awesome to just walk into a town and think, "Wow! I remember I'd just sit and listen to this music when I was eight!" While I can always recall my memories from playing the game (which makes me remember my surroundings and other memories while I was playing the game), it's so much better to just forget until it just comes and smacks me in the face in-game /probablydoesn'tmakesense.
I'm also looking forward to HGSS because of Johto and the native Pokemon. I haven't played a Pokemon game with Johto in it since my Crystal burned out when I was twelve (just to let you know, my most frequented game, Gold, died a year before that. Crystal was just its replacement), and I'm looking forward to playing in my favorite region. The native Pokemon were also great. I'll be able to hunt the dogs again and be able to Ho-oh for the first time in eight years. The starters too! Ohhhhh yay for playing a game with Cyndaquil again!
Then there's the rival and Red. In Gold, my rival wasn't named too well. The first three letters/symbols were m;l and the last three or four were something like jgfd. It got incredibly annoying to challenge him after awhile, so it'll be nice to have a better name. When it comes to Red, I never had fun challenging him. Time after time, I'd just bring my lvl 100 Typlosion and beat all of his Pokemon just by using Flamethrower or Flamewheel. How. Exciting. :/ Now I'll be able to keep bringing new Pokemon in to challenge him with to keep myself occupied. If he's in the game, that is.
Oh boy. Remember when you were younger and your starter Pokemon was wayyyy too many levels above the rest of your team? Well that was me. It took me countless times to beat the E4. When I finally did, my Typlosion was lvl sixty-four, compared to Pokemon in the twenties. Argghhh I wasted so much of my game time just raising Typlosion and ignoring the rest of my team. Now I'll be able to raise properly and have a fun time playing instead of spending a month trying to beat a single person with a single Pokemon. DDD:
And finally Icouldgoonandonbtw, I'll play the game for fun. There's nothing like taking any Pokemon game on a rainy day or when you're sick and just playing it. You can make your own little world out of it, and I'm looking forward to just playing Heart Gold. It's something that no one can change except you, and that's just awesome!
