Yes, I'm going to try to "reincarnate" my old Crystal team in HeartGold, since I'm definitely getting that game. If I decide to get the SoulSilver version as well (you never know, if these games turn out to be as awesome as I think, I just might), I'll attempt to re-create my old Gold team, which had Chikorita as my starter.
One thing that's sort of been a rule with me since the Gen II games is that my starter has to be female. Yes, even Typhlosion.
