Pokemon Gold and Silver to be remade?

[Isaac]

SIGH

[R0b]

CONFIRMED.

[Bojangle]

Sold. Gold and Silver are my favourites by far. Sunk so many hours into them.

[Chaz]

The tenth anniversary remakes will be called Pokémon Heart Gold and Poké Soul Silver

????

[mdn2]

Should have called the remakes Pokemon Au and Ag to appeal to us geeks.

[GViper]

Sold. So many times over. I played these at launch way back when, and still regard them as the best pokemon experience available. A remake will just be superb.

Heres the announcement footage:

Ive not played pokemon from Ruby/saffire - and i didnt even play them properly (didnt even finish it) heck the only pokemons i played properly where red/blue/yellow (didnt even complete G/S first time around) I might actually get this.

Looks lovely, I will be getting this day 1 as Gold/Silver is my favourite one. I might even get Pokemon Platinum to get me back into the games

Just saw the minimal gameplay footage for this... at least they seem to have sorted out the movement, it's actually fucking smooth as opposed to Diamond and Pearls weird "miss a few frames" movement.

[R0b]

Oh my. That's looking almost as pastel as I was hoping for.

[DirkCrisis]

I never played gold or silver and even though platinum appears to be the same game in single player, I'm still enjoying it immensely.

So this is a definite purchase.

[Belbo]

Oh my. That's looking almost as pastel as I was hoping for.

Yeah, that looks lovely; really looking forward to this now.

Are there any differences between the two versions aside from the Pokemon available? I always tended towards Red from the original duo. I suspect that my strange mind will choose to get Silver and will not accept Gold whatsoever. Which one does everyone find themselves drawn to?

[imp]

I always liked silver myself. I suspect I will get that version again.

The only differences will really be a handful of Pokemon exclusive to one and whether you get Lugia or Ho-oh at 40 or 70.

Silver is definitely the way to go because Lugia is plain awesome.

That girl has really big ears.

[R0b]

Gold is the best. Bad luck!

[GViper]

Lugia > Ho-oh.

Hence, Silver > Gold.

Bye-bye, Achilles!

Quoted for truth.

Oh man. I'm actually really excited, but it has to come out in Japan first. Argh :S

[R0b]

So it's decided. Gold is the best.

[Teeohbee.]

Yep, I can officially confirm that Gold is the better version.

[R0b]

Ah let me just, it's best to check, it's possible, I mean we might be, ah, nope, yep, there it is, just checked, Gold is the best.

[Chaz]

Why would you want gold? Ho-oh is shit.

[Elliott]

Gold and Silver were the best versions by a mile, always my favourites. Might have to buy a DS for this.

[Garwoofoo]

I'm not sure why people would want a re-release of old Pokemon games.

I'd always assumed that each generation is basically the same, but slightly better because it has more Pokemon in it to collect. Why would you want to take a step backwards? What am I missing here?

[Broker]

who else is exclusive to each?

[imp]

The world in Gold and Silver was brilliant, and hasn't been bettered since. You'll still be able to use new pokemon by trading them in I'd imagine, so it won't really affect too much.

[Chaz]

You're missing the vital fact that since the original 150, and to a certain extent the second 130ish which were added to gold/silver, the Pokemon have been complete shit and terribly designed. The games were far better when it was even remotely possible to keep track of most of the Pokemon you could catch.

[HarMGM]

Lugia > Ho-oh.

Hence, Silver > Gold.

THIS

I mean, a bird that can traverse both land and sea. How AWESOME is that?

[R0b]

There's the thing; Shigeru Miyamoto, Chaz, Jack Black, Bruce Dickinson, Casanova, veloS and God are all repressed homosexuals, and as such their opinions must be disregarded as nothing more than flamboyant fancies.

[zektbach]

flamboyant

[Belbo]

In a way I am slightly more drawn towards the faggot bird of rainbow fire, given that I always chose Charmander at the beginning of the Red quest, and therefore ended up hating anything blue and/or water-based by association, but I don't know ...

Maybe I will just choose the first one I see in the shops.
