    In all Pokémon games I played, the beginning was always boring. I just wanted to ask, what part of HGSS do you think it becomes exciting?

    • If you've never played the original Silver/Gold then it's exciting fairly early on. But because I had played the original Silver, Soul Silver didn't really get the new exciting feeling ever, however I was pleasantly surprised to see the little additions that did.

    Yeahh, I played Gold on the gameboy Colour. It was pretty good first time round. What would of made HG exciting was if we could start off with different pokemon. Im getting bored with Cydaquil, Totodile and Chikorita. I liked the few extras they put in but wasnt anything that got me excited or hyped up about the game.

    • I think the whole thing is fun, save the team rocket bit and being forced into caves... but as for 'exciting'? I was really excited to find new things here and there, and the nostalgia factor with the bug catching contest and some of the other events was great. I'm more excited with Pokemon games after I've finished them and it's just a matter of getting a really epic team together.

    Sooo... I guess from the beginning? It's not slow anywhere really, pretty awesome imo.

    I actually found the idea of having "optional" caves, rather than "oh, I need to go through, so why not explore the whole thing anyway" really exciting.

    Dark Cave, Mount Mortar, Seafoam Islands (you could go back after the gym), Mount Moon, Cliff Cave....I found exploring them at my own leisure really.

    However, Route 38/39 has music which makes it feel more exciting, as do Routes 26,27, Victory Road and the Pokemon League. Oh, and the silence with just the wind, whilst battling Red, is pretty awesome too.

    I do find Kanto kinda slow, as there's less of a plotline. However, getting to battle Silver, Blue, and Red, keeps me going onwards towards the Power Plant....

    Anything with Team Rocket is pretty exciting. I loved the radio tower

    I didnt like that part. The ice path was fun, trying to figure out the way, was a bit of a challenge.

    The only excitement I had was when I was fighting Blue, since he was the only Gym Leader that was actually hard and didn't have pathetically low levels.

    • It always get exciting for me when battling Lance, Blue, Red, etc., when they get down to their last pokemon, even more so if you have the perfect pokemon to go against it.

    I thought that HeartGold began to get exciting at the start due to nostalgia.

    After I got over the nostalgia, it got exciting after Violet City. You finally like you're on your own.

    • I found competing in the Pokeathlon quite new and exciting, and since G/S/C was my favourite generation of pokemon, I was quite excited the whole way through to seeing what changes they introduced to the game, and the graphics.

    I personally found it quite the opposite HG started off pretty exciting, I enjoyed seeing the game revamped with old places in enhanced DS graphics through the beginning zones...

    I wouldn't exactly say the game got boring but the novelty started to wear off around the 7th gym.. and I'm right before the Elite 4 and I'm taking a break from playing my Heart gold because of all the training I need to do.

    • During my time against the Elite Four and Red is when it always gets the most exciting for me. I especially enjoy it if it comes neck and neck where I have one last Pokémon standing and so does he/she. This would mostly occur against Red though. I feel like after playing through the whole game and building up the anticipation is why it makes it most exciting for me against the Elite and Red though. I don't see anything else that explains why.

    HG/SS is a remake, so for some, starting the game again reminds them of when they first started it almost ten years ago in GSC. That's where the nostalgia and excitement comes from.
