I play them because I like them. Not for transfering Pokemon to DP, not for training Pokemon that will be eventually transferred to DP, but just because I like playing them.

I already contacted the Pokemon USA Company. They said most likely not.

Pokemon USA doesn't decide if a GSC remake will be made, Game Freak does.
 
Well, of course I play for fun. I love the GBA games, even more then the Ds ones! I don't like the D/P contests...
 
I don't like Contests at all. They have kind of ruined the game somewhat, but I guess there is a lot of people who likes them.

I um, play them because I enjoy them? After I transfered my important Pokemon from Emerald to my Diamond version I restarted it, but I left my Sapphire as-is. I spent way too much time perfecting that, and it has too many memories to just move all of my Pokemon and nuke it. I still pick it up when I feel nostalgic from time to time.

I feel the same way about my Ruby but I went ahead and moved all three regis to my Diamond... Once I migrate Mewtwo, though, Leafgreen is getting restarted.

I like them because they're a lot faster. The battles don't take nearly as long even with battle anim. on. The characters move faster when walking, too. :S I guess I'm just impatient, but Diamond battles are a pain in the butt with animations on.

actually what I heard is that Platinum may be a remake of G/S/C for the Ds. But that is speculation because there is two versions for every release.

That would be amazing. My gold stopped saving, my brother messed his silver up with a game shark, and my *other* brother lost his crystal. So we're all Johto-deprived. :( It's really quite depressing. And a new gold version is like ninety bucks to buy new from someone over the net.

well I'm hoping it does happen, because they remade R/B so G/s/C is next in theory
 
But try out Shiny Gold or the (soon-to-be?) Platinum version, while waiting for the official re-makes. :P

Or start a new game. It's sad to lose your recorded things in a gameboy game (why is there only 1 slot?) but the strange happiness you get every time you start a game over... ouh.
Of course though, it's not completely as fun when you've done this a couple hundred times...
 
Pretty much all 3 reasons. My friends that have the Diamond and Pearl games like it when I have my GBA with me, so that they can put my Pokemon in their Pal Park. That's how my one friend ended up with a Moltres and Zapdos xD

But I also play them because I myself don't have a DS. But when I do get one, I plan on putting everybody on my GBA games into the Pal Park. Plus, it's fun reminiscing a little xD
 
Just to play what I haven't played..
RS = Done (Ruby)
Emerald = No
FR = Now playing
DP = Nearly at the E4, then someone deleted my game >_<
Crystal = Done a long time ago..
RBY = Had a look at the graphic, lost my enthusiasm..

well I think because I kind of compare fire red/ leaf green to ruby and sapphire, and there is a major different. In Ruby and Sapphire there is a lot more to do IMO

That is EXACTLY where i come from on this.

also, who said emerald had nothing to do after the elite four?

first, you've got a megaton of legendaries left over. seriously, groudon, kyogre, regis (unless you already took care of that. I didn't.) Latias (forget latios. I can just port him over from ruby or use AR codes.) and, fi you don't qualify it as hacking (and i don't as long as you catch them fairly, meaning without masterball codes or the like) mew, ho-oh, deoxys, lugia.

and then there's battle frontier, which is a whole 'nother ballgame. it lasts about six times as long as the Sevii islands quests, and is more rewarding.

that's what emerald is for. I restart, like i said, twice a month just for the heck of it.
 
wow. this thread is getting pretty popular. i haven't played a Pokemon Game in a while. I do not know what to do...

You wouldn't play R/B/Y just because of the graphics? You are INSANE!!!
 
I play them for fun. I really enjoy playing the Pokemon games now and then... that reminds me I gotta start playing them again... ^^' I've played MD for quite a while now... Maybe I should restart FireRed?
Ah well, and I don't have DS...yet..

Well. It seems like more people enjoy playing for the fun of it.
 
I play the Pokémon GBA games because they are fun and because I don't have Diamond or Pearl.:'(
