Could not find a thread dedicated to the newest releases in the Pokemanz series. Soul Silver is undoubtedly going to be a gazillion times better than Heart Gold. We all know that Lugia is just so much more awesome than Ho. Just like Red, Silver, Ruby and Diamond were the superior versions before it (Barring the lame 3rd releases). Any opinions on the new games?

yellow version was the best.

G/S/C are way better. The only thing good about Yellow was the surfing Pikachu.

I said barring the third releases. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum and so on are generally improved versions of the first games. Also, props out to FireRed and LeafGreen, probably one of my favourites as well. Right after Silver, which takes home the trophy/my heart <33333

Strange. I know there was a thread here about this earlier that I posted in, but the search function isn't working for me at the moment.

In terms of sales, yeah, but nothing else.

Whoa, speak for yourself. I could care less about Lugia in comparison to Ho-oh. The latter has always been one of my top favorites. Lugia may be much more popular because of some anime movie, but I ain't going with the bandwagon's opinion over something like this.

I'll agree with you about Red, Ruby, and Diamond at least, but the 3rd releases were easily the most expansive, so they win too in my book regardless of what you said, especially Crystal. <3

As fun as they were, they're still just remakes of Red/Blue, the latter of which had much more nostalgia value to me. As much as I'll enjoy Heart Gold/Soul Silver, I won't be surprised if I end up liking the originals more in the long run.

.. You're arguing over which versions of the same game are better? Why the **** does it matter?

because... theyre...not the same game?

Pokemon SoulSilver will undoubtedly sell more than HeartGold.

I was a Lugia fan even before the release of the anime movies.

Lugia was just pure charisma.. His Mewtwo-like look and simple color scheme is easy on the eyes.
As for Ho-oh... it looks like a flying multi-colored chicken.

I knew we had a thread for this somewhere, the search engine decided to be a brat today tho; http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=466203&highlight=title%3A%28Pokemon%29+forumid%3A66

But since it's from 07 and got wrong titles, maybe it should stay dead.

Chicken? More like phoenix, though I guess it's a typical thing for a Lugia fan to say, having heard it all before.

Although easy on the eyes, Lugia's simple color scheme was actually what made him look bland compared to Ho-oh's rainbow-colored body... IMO anyway. Not to mention, Ho-oh has a much more interesting background (with Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and the Tin Tower) than Lugia and his Sacred Fire is a much more awesome attack than Aeroblast in my personal opinion.

... And Ho-oh's too cool to be corrupted by humans by being turned into a Shadow Pokemon.

Lugia's Shadow form made him look 10x better than he already was compared to Ho-oh ahah

Heart Gold > Soul Silver.

I'd say:
Gold > Silver (metals)
Soul > Heart (spiriualy)

So technicaly they are equal in a mathematical point of view, best combination would have been Soul Gold >> Heart Silver

Probably the only Pokemon game I'm interested in getting in the future. I was a fan of Silver, but I saw some gameplay of it and realized it's just as slow as the original. Keep in mind I haven't seen any new Pokemon game since Yellow and Silver. So I'll get it when it's at a cheaper used price.

Waaaaaaah! I'm not sure which of these legendaries to use my Master Ball on now.

I was thinking Ho-oh at first (since I currently have the opportunity to do so), but now I'm starting to lean more towards Mewtwo. mmm

So, what version did you buy?

I bought both versions, since I wanted to capture both Kyogre and Groudon.

Mewtwo's still the best though. Well, after Arceus of course.

I'm enjoying it, it's a good remake.

Save your Master Ball's for MewTwo. He'll destroy you faster than Lugia or Ho-Oh will.

What's everyone's team? I like to know teams.

Should say mine I guess. At the moment, Quilava, Flaffy, Pinsir, Stantler. I'm probably going to drop Stantler for a good Flying type to make the game easier and end up using Red Gyrados for Surf.

Oh, Stantler is win, too. He solo'd Morty using Hypnosis, Sand-Attack, and Astonish.

SoulSilver -- Feraligatr, Skarmory, Pachirisu, Dunsparce, Carnivine, Girafarig

HeartGold -- Typhlosion, Chatot, Onix, Heracross, Snorlax, Absol

People who choose SoulSilver are undoubtedly cooler than HeartGold fans, and will beat them nearly every time in a Pokemon battle for the simple fact that they are superior trainers. Duh.

Would you be willing to put that to the test, 5L?

SS - Ignatious (Typhlosion), Scyther, Haunter, Pokebat (Zubat), Taco Bell (Bellsprout), and Carl's Jr (Staryu)

This is my current team.

Got both versions as well, but for now I'm just playing HG.

And yeah, I decided at the last minute to just save my Master Ball for Mew2. Ho-oh was annoying to have to capture without it though (took almost all of my different types of pokeballs), but it had an Impish nature in the end, so I'm not complainin'. Something tells me it'll take a lot longer (as in lots of restarts) for Mewtwo to get the desired nature, even with the Master Ball.

Not gonna have it this way forever obviously, but my current team is Typhlosion, Ho-oh, Onix, red Gyarados, Pidgeotto, and Togepi (still waiting for it to evolve. Half my party are just HM slaves anyway).
And Eevee and Sudowoodo (I think) are still at the daycare, to make up for my laziness in training them.

Currently at the Elite 4. Probably gonna teach Typolosion Dragon Claw so it'll be easier to take down Lance.

Sure....... as soon as I get it.

Also, I would use my Master Ball on one of the legendary dogs. Mewtwo can be caught with a pokeball since you can save in front of him.

Just download Shoddy. It takes five minutes to make a team on it.

Damnit, meant to say Shadow Claw. Would be awesome if Typhlosion could actually learn Dragon Claw though.

And 5L, I could care less about the dogs right now. It'll probably take a lot of restarting until Mewtwo gives me the desired nature anyway as I said, even with the Master Ball.

Oh, and Shoddy.. Isn't that what the pokemonized tourneyfags normally use now?

I dunno. Don't really talk to anyone on there. I just used it because it's easier to make a team there and test it before I try and make it on my DS.

Ah, so it's like netbattle 2.0 basically. Eh, haven't used any of those in awhile.

......

I don't know what anyone is talking about anymore...

In this case, I don't really consider that a bad thing. You're probably better off not knowing what any of that is. whistle

I have a Zubat!

So one of you guys with Silver should definitely trade me a Murkrow for something else that I can catch.

And I'm about to have Mewtwo 131, once it has teh modest nature after catching it that is. *saved in front of him, and will keep restarting the game until it has that nature, just like old times in Fire Red*

Being a perfectionist (for the most part) ain't easy.


Also, what Moo said.

Nature? w-what?

Okay, when do ya want to trade? I don't mind trading with anyone for ones ya can't get on Gold. I need some Gold only 'mons too.

And yeah, I'm picky about which nature my Pokemon gets when it comes to my favorites such as Mew2.

Ohhh, I see. Neat. It sounds complicated to me abit, but that's cool that it's there.

Yeah, it can be a bit complicated, that much I'll agree with, especially when it comes to deciding on what movesets your Pokemon should have when taking the nature thing into account.

Also, apparently once you beat your rival on Mt. Moon (in Kanto) in this game, if you go back to the Dragon's Den to find him there afterward, he'll battle alongside you against Clair and Lance at the same time (am doin' that right now). I find it pretty cool.

Whenever you want is okay, but which Pokemon do you want? I'm really not sure which ones are Gold only. I think Stantler might be.

I'll have to catch another for you in the Safari Zone, and I need a Growlithe.

I just caught a lvl 7 Pidgeotto

Where did you catch it at?

Viridian Forest

Oi.. That's where Ash caught one in the 1st season of the anime.

Originally posted by Scythe

Deal. I'll try and catch you a rather beneficially natured Growlithe.

I got two good ones with the only two I caught. Brave and Adamant, which is arguably the best nature for an Arcanine/Growlithe.

Thinking of changing my line-up with an All-Dragon-type team.


My team will be Altaria, Flygon, Salamence, Garchomp, Kingdra, Palkia.

Originally posted by MooCowofJustice

That's okay, you can give me the weakest one, it doesn't really matter what nature they are to me, just want it for the Pokedex entry and what not, I'll shoot ya a PM when I get another Murkrow.

I got my SS version. I went with Totodile, since a lot of you went with Cyndaquil.

On that note, my starter has just reached level 100. Now for Mewtwo...

I've never made any of my Pkmn lvl100.

Strongest in my team is a lvl90 Palkia (traded from Platinum)

Just got a Palkia, Darkrai and Arceus. Don't know what the hell they are, but they kick ass.

.. Did you go to an event or something?

Arceus is God. Palkia controls the dimension of Space. Darkrai is just a Dark type who's big gimmick is being a counter to Cresselia. Cresselia for the Full Moon, Darkrai for the New Moon.

Darkrai had his own movie, and that one was like, Mewtwo level, only in durability.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime

Kinda, not really. I was over at a friend's house, and he basically told me if I wanted the Palkia that was at lv.69 since I leveled it up via his game when he let me borrow it. He has the other one, Dialga. It's his favorite. He didn't care for the other one, so I sorta leveled it up after I caught it. Since the game was his, I left it there, now he traded it to me for a Pidgey, since he insists it's mine. The lv. 100 Arceus was given to me today when I won it at a raffle at some video game store on the military base I went to take my class at. Then, while I was there, a nice girl hooked me up with a lv. 100 Darkrai because she said I was sweet, compared to everyone else who beat her there and rubbed it in. That was pretty mean.

Overall, I traded:

Hoppip for Arceus
Pidgey for Palkia
Rattata for Darkrai

Oh, cool. Thanks for the info. These newer Pokemon are weird, and crazy. I'm only used to the ones in Blue/Red/Yellow and the original Gold and Silver. Everything else has been one giant: "The hell is that?!?! What would that be weak against?! Is it a fire type, fml!!!!"

Meh, if you were to so much as suggest that you don't know what some Pokemon is I'd probably tell you. I enjoy this series too much.

No, you spelt it right.

And you can get once in HG/SS once you get Groudon and Kyogre, I think.

Nah that's the right spelling. Rayquaza's shiny is cool too. It makes him a black dragon, like Charizard's.

Hold the phone, shiny? Say whaaaaa-? I still don't understand the shiny dealie-oh. The guy who put the Arceus in my game today was telling me it's shiny, I didn't know what that meant, thought he was just complimenting it.

Enjoyable name is enjoyable.

Catch yourself a Celebi or some other short, green Pokemon and call it Kami or Dende.

Edit: Cool, your Arceus is Shiny.

Yay! Enjoyable names! I've been making a team of fast-food nameed pokemon. A Staryu named Carl's Jr., Bellsprout named Taco Bell, and a Mr. Mime named McDonald.

Oh! How'de ya get a Shiny Groudon? My friend is next to me right now telling me all about them. They sound rare as holy f*cksicles.

They are.

I basically just saved in front of Groudon and kept restarting until it finally appeared as shiny (of course, it wasn't all in one sitting). His shiny form is gold/yellowish instead of red.

Holy crap, how long did that take you?

I think I tried for awhile at least once every day, which ended up being a few days total. Somethin' like that.

Shinies are overrated though. I didn't really bother trying to get another one after that.

Nah. Already caught it in its normal form. Don't like its shiny form in particular much anyway (only difference is its tail and stuff is light green instead of purple, which is also seen in Melee whenever he's on the "green team".

Oh, that always looked like a Gummi Mewtwo to me. . . .

Shut up. . . I don't know, heh.

Finally got this game a couple days ago. Awesome as usual with pokemon games

Definitely playing this myself right now SoulSilver FTW. So much better than Pearl/Diamond/Platinum which I just could not really get into that much. Old school Pokemon is far superior.

...definitely want a Sandshrew though.

Sandshrews are cool but I'd like a Mewtwo. They're insanely powerful.

I don't know who's idea it was to have Pokemon that flee across the damn map, but I want to slap them.

I care not about Mewtwo, I've always found it to be very overrated.

Is Mew possible to get with these new version of the old games?

I found Pikachu to be the most overrated but Mewtwo is for good reason. It was probably one of the strongest pokemon before some of the new generation top tiers, like Arceus.

Pikachu overrated? I find a late evolved raichu to be one of the best ones.

I got banned for using a hacked Arceus in the Battle Zone... again haermm

My opponents were prob like "WTF?"

I picked up SoulSilver and the nostalgia alone is compelling me to play this addictively.

Haha, maybe in Gen5 they'll make the Light Ball double all of Pikachu's stats. XD

That would quite possibly be the gayest thing GameFreak's done yet.
