FINALLY! This was the announcement I was really hoping for today. September 22 can't get here fast enough. I'll be getting Silver.

this was the most exciting part of the nintendo direct tbh

right lmao

I've been waiting for this ever since I got my 3DS for the first time xD

Holy bedsheets! This will make me start playing my 3DS again! My original Gold cartridge won't save and I'm not bothered to get the battery fixed.

Sad no crystal, but silver is superior so it's okay.

GF must have read my mind because I've recently been seriously considering playing through a Gen 2 game again. I've missed my time with my dear childhood copy of Gold (I still have it!). And PokéBank support is always welcome. INCOMING GEN 2 STARTERS

*no Crystal*

Would probably get Silver, then.

ffs i just want crystal since my version died

:o thought this was a really old post for heartgold someone revived

Left arm Crystal

...where's Crystal :(

Everyone keeps saying that, but what are we really losing by not having Crystal? Female protag and Eusine, I guess? And let's be honest, if they offered Crystal, nobody would get Gold or Silver.

^people bought red and blue. Also nostalgia would still sell well. Tbh I'll probably buy all three (when they release crystal).

You're forgetting a few things.
-Battle Tower
-Cute lil sprite animations
-Getting Suicune, meaning one less stupid legendary beast to hunt down
-Move Tutors
-Trainers would the players items (which were evolutionary stones!)

And many more.

Also, excuse you, Kris is great and means a lot to me. I remember being excited as a child that I could finally play as a girl in a Pokemon game.

I would personally still get Silver either way (it's the only one of the three I had)

I wonder if they're keeping the errors of the US version? How Teddiursa and Phanpy were accidentally switched across versions, etc.

I forget, does Crystal have arbitrary code execution?

Ah, thanks for educating me! Now I want Crystal.


...not as much as Gold, though.

Quote from: Dude on June 07, 2017, 11:18:08 AMI forget, does Crystal have arbitrary code execution?

I want to say yes? I think I've watched some stuff on it...

So uh

Please tell me I'm not the only one who never noticed that the wild Pokémon battle themes are different from day (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eQq2v6kBKSM) to night (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aECB1LQ862E)

In my defense the HGSS soundtrack only includes one GB sounds version and it's not really identical to either of these

Noooooooo! What have you done?

...

how did.... I not... know this...

It's pretty darn subtle and I didn't know until I looked it up on YouTube and even then it took a little while to determine the difference

I swear to god this has been me for the last two hours

fucking seriously dude

For as much as the offer tempts me, I think I'm gonna wait until Crystal version.

I mean technically, I already own the cart for Gold version, I just don't have any way to play it... which really kinda sucks

I'm doubtful they'll even get around to releasing Crystal unfortunately

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2017, 05:37:00 PMI'm doubtful they'll even get around to releasing Crystal unfortunately

Why do you say that? Knowing nintendo, it'd be perfect to release that at a later time once people have already bought up gold and silver, similar to the initial release. Keeps the fire going.

Crystal will come a few months after, to get even MORE of our money.

Gen 2 sucked though

Quote from: Altissimo on June 07, 2017, 04:23:21 PMfucking seriously dude

eusine though

eusine is really what this is all about

also he's dudeman not dude


And, just saying... completely unrelated to the previous train of thought, but... Gen 2 has the best gym theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy2uE8eIdNs). HGSS botched it.

gen 2 does suck wtf why everyone say thats a troll thing to say

Nostalgia and jealousy

Gen 2 really did so much for the franchise though. It was so much more refined and polished than Gen 1 in terms of both gameplay (precedent of adding types and splitting Special into Special Attack and Special Defense... like it should have been all along) and story elements (first legendaries tied into the history and/or myths of the region), without overdoing anything. It was simple, and created such a wonderful atmosphere.

that doesn't mean that the game is not bad though

i'm not denying its importance, only its quality when you remove it from the "progression" of pokemon mechanics

Quote from: Altissimo on June 07, 2017, 07:43:44 PMgen 2 does suck wtf why everyone say thats a troll thing to say

Because of where he said it duh the thread is basically a "HERE COMES GEN 2 HYPE" thread.

ok fair

Quote from: Altissimo on June 07, 2017, 07:43:44 PMgen 2 does suck wtf why everyone say thats a troll thing to say

People say that, but gen II are objectively the most fun Pokémon games, like even though I played Ruby first I have to say I've never had more fun with Pokémon than I have with gen II, even years later. It holds up.

The gameplay makes the game though. If you remove that, then that statement could apply to any game in the series (though there are also other factors that make certain games in particular, especially Gen 2, enjoyable).

Gen 2 fixed what was wrong with gen 1

And what was wrong with gen 1 is what made it enjoyable

The music and the location always sold it for me. Johto> kanto and you get both anyway :s

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2017, 08:28:50 PMPeople say that, but gen II are objectively the most fun Pokémon games

I like how you say "objectively" as if it is some sort of undeniable fact. Are you forgetting the part where grinding is much, much, MUCH more of a chore than in any other Pokémon game, and you probably have to grind to beat Red?

I think you're missing the point of what I said

May I ask why an entirely new topic was created for a Virtual Console version of a game?

Shrug I mean you guys don't have to be excited

But I am :-)

Quote from: Altissimo on June 08, 2017, 06:26:52 AMyou probably have to grind to beat Red?

I ground for ages at Mt Silver trying to beat Red. The pokemon there are only in the 40s though, if I remember correctly.

Quote from: Altissimo on June 08, 2017, 06:26:52 AMI think you're missing the point of what I said

to be making a point it's gotta make sense though

Johto's main problem is the lack of level curve for wild Pokemon honestly... and, well, some Johto mons only being found in Kanto...

Quote from: LeviR.star on June 08, 2017, 06:45:07 AMMay I ask why an entirely new topic was created for a Virtual Console version of a game?

this is actually a good question

save states are disabled in pokemon VC games so it's exactly the same

My rival has a shiny sneasel

wait that can happen

pics pls
