I love Pokemon, but for some reason... a ton of noobs play.

Look at the front page of the DS forums and you'll see what I'm talking about.

By the way, I got Heart Gold.

My Mom got Silver and I got a copy of Gold and Silver

Plus we have both sets of guides so overall we're ready for this newest version of Pokemon lol

We need a poll choice for the people who buy both :P

Massive locking FTW? Honestly the DS board has around 80% of its front page locked. I bet most people will ignore it anyway.

looks like you finally snapped and decided to get rid of all the pokemon discussion topics in favor of a single one :P (thank god...) but now i'm wondering... since EVERY SINGLE TOPIC on the first 3 pages are about it... didn't this just kill the DS forums?

Well Pokemon is the main thing that keeps the DS a viable platform so yeah, when you restrict the conversations to one thread it kinda makes the place go quiet for a little

But it's either that or 400 threads launch week like "POKEMON STARTS WITH A P!"

I'm cool with waiting a bit before we're able to start new threads about it

Going to grab HeartGold later. Better version exclusives. Still having trouble choosing Totodile or Cyndaquil, though.

*:lol: at "topic" title* anyway, it's kinda fun, and sad at the same time that even after this topic was created, 2 new pokemon topics were made... i guess it'll remain like this until E3... that is, if we get some info on okamiden and golden sun DS.

Doubt it. With 5th gen being slowly leaked, I sense board domination again, even though GS DS and okamiden definitely deserve some room.

i think we should always have this thread and there already is plenty of Poke-Boards to answer ppl's questions, the DS forum doesn't need to have 70% of its front page with Poke-Threads everyday, and that isn't just today but usually half of all threads are Poke-related

True, but I'm expecting more soon, since Japan's supposedly getting it late this year as far as I know. I still expect the boards to flood again.

I got Soul Silver today (a day before my birthday :P) and I just started playing it. Too bad I won't be able to play it much this week since college is keeping me busy. Goodbye spring break.:(

I have a question also. I was just wondering if anyone knows if it matters when we trade over Jirachi and Pichu? I just beat Falkner on Soul Silver and was thinking of doing it now. Will it matter or do we have to wait until a certain point in the game?

they won't flood "again" because they're already flooded :P but yeah, it'll get worse after we get some info on the game.

Quick question: is one of your pokemon following you all of the time or is it optional?

I'm not sure if you can turn it off, but it seems like whoever is first in your party will follow behind you.

Getting on the bike puts them in a Pokeball. And I had hoped that there would be a sidecar or tricycle for them :(

Even through I am starting to lose interests in Pokemon, I decided to get Heart Gold, because I really loved Gold so much. I was able to get the Ho-Oh figurine too. Anyway so far it seems like a good remake.:) Can't wait to try out the Pokewalker.

Well the gym badges help Pokemon of certain levels obey you. The shiny Pichu comes at level 30, and I'm not sure if Falkner's badge allows Pokemon that high to obey you, or if that is a later badge. Anyway if you brought it over and intended to use it in battle it may not obey you.

Huge pokemon stay in the pokeballs whenever you're inside a house/building/crowded area.

Sidecar + G/S/C/HG/SS Bike theme = BEST IDEA EVAR!

but Wailord might need a truck instead... :?

which reminds me...

Has anyone traded a wailord to HG/SS? How big is it? Does it look funny? O_o

Nevermind. I managed to get a wailord to HG. It's not as big as I thought it would be. It's about 2x the size of the trainer sprite and it looks like it's sliding whenever you walk/run with it. Kinda disappointed but the sliding makes me laugh. :lol:

I think the Zephyr Badge is for Level 10. They need to beat the 2nd Gym for Pokemon up to level 30 to obey you.

It might have something to do with the IR receiver (or whatever its called) in it that the pokewalker uses.

We know they are making it for the DS, it is set to release late this year in japan, the first two pokemon from it are Zorua, and Zorark they will star in the 13th movie. They also said there will be some major changes, but its pokemon so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

I was thinking Ninetails/Lucario fusion. It's a dark type (my favorite) and looks pretty cool. I may have to get a next gen game for this guy.

Its pre evolution, Zorua:

black vulpix?

anyway, i tend to compare stuff with sneasels (lucario kinda looks like one :P) because they're the most awesome pokemon ever. if weavile kept just a single feather, then we'd have a new champion, but since he didn't...

there may be a tie in terms of awesomeness with quilava, though.

I thought this also includes third generation Pokemon and you can bring 4th generation pokemon in as well.
