Exactly three years ago those two pearls came out in Europe.
I remeber buying HeartGold in a bookstore, because they were sold out in every game store on that day.
I feel exactly like in 2002, when I bought the original game, along with Silver.
Do you remember that day, /vp/?

Soul Silver was the last game I actually bought. It was uninteresting for the most part, solely because I always used to play up to Jasmine and repeat on my old Silver, Gold and Crystal games.

I might be the only person who has a save from one week before the game's actual release on my cartridge. Based flashcards and savegame manager, didn't have to restart my adventure with that.

Its the reason why I bought a Nintendo DS. It made me return to pokémon and vidya in general. Now I have DS, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and play on steam.

Pokémon made me get interested in this industry when I was a kid and made me return years later...

I bought my 1st Pokemon game, which was Crystal in 2003. My family was poor as fuck, so spending $40 on a newly released game was a bit steep. I remember playing pokemon red and gold on my friends Gameboy and enjoying them, especially Gold. I tried getting gold, but my local game only had Crystal, and it was $20 and asked my dad for one. After much pleading he said yes, and I got it. Ended up passing crystal in like 3 days of constant playing. I fucking loved it so much.

I remember it, but it wasn't that special. Crystal and Emerald were my favorites: i was very hyped for HG.
Then i bought it.

It was such a fucking chore that i barely beated Red then stopped playing. No other Pokèmon game made me play just 56 hours. I don't even know why. GSC weren't boring. Then i got like 690 hours out of Black and W2 is already at 150.

I don't even know why. HGSS aren't bad games. They're magnificent. But, for me, they were so. Fucking. Boring.

I remember buying Gold from Comet and how insanely excited I was for all the new features. It was everything I imagined it to be too. The Comet stores have closed now. All of them. I played HG on an R4 because I thought the release price was too high. I'm a fucking idiot. What the hell, I'm buying my own copy tomorrow or this week.

Agreed. They changed the tone of the original too much, it wasn't boy and his pokemon fight the world believe in you and your pokemon. It was here's your pokemon and about 50 other people to help you make level 50 before getting to the elite 4. Also yes it's slow, feels like half an hour each battle.

It was a quite a chore for me as well, but that was only because I played it after beating black and I was so used to the little things they had fixed in that game that all the little things bothered the fuck outta me in SS.

I really only played it for all the awesome pokemon you can get so I could transfer.

Gotta say, I had dem special feels too.

Ordered it on the internet. The day it came, I literally played it from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. Racked up 16 hours on the first day.

Also, my girlfriend had never played any Pokemon since Yellow (Never had any later handhelds either, family couldn't afford it.) I bought her a DS Lite and HeartGold and she fell in love with it. Since then we've played every Pokemon game together.

Silver was my absolute favourite as a kid, and SS is very special to me now.

After completing my dex in Diamond, I decided to retire from pokemon, but with one caveat: I would come back if there were GS remakes.
Then it happened. They were announced.

I got it reluctantly, as I was 16 years old, end of Junior year, feeling like I was growing up finally.

I went full nostalgia, though. It was great to play again, and I sported my Pokewalker proudly. I didn't care who knew I still played.

I did feel like a faggot, though. That is, until I saw more and more people with Pokewalkers.

It was crazy, even the coolest guys (i.e. football team, track stars, errybody) had them. I made lots of new friends because of it. We'd just connect in the hallway on the way to class. I gained a reputation, even, as one of the only guys who knew what he was doing in the games, and ended up helping people and answering questions all through every study hall.
This continued until senior year scramble was set in and nobody had enough time for poggermonz. Goodness, those were the best times.

Just realized this probably belongs in the pokefeels thread

I know that feel.

Was a sophomore in HS when HG/SS came out.

Pokewalkers, Pokewalkers everywhere.

Black and White caused me to fail AP Bio.

Fucking everyone had that shit.

Ms. Z, if you're reading this, I'm sorry to have disappointed you.

It's just...

My first game was Gold version. I was 7 years old
Literally, my first game ever. I got a GBC and the game for Christmas from my parents and grandparents because I watched the show more than I watched others.
It was fun for me to figure out all the little tricks. That kind of thing sticks with you, ya know?
I tried playing RBY, but they just felt vastly inferior.
RS are my favorites because I had finally figured out what I was doing, plus I was at the ideal age for the game. We better get remakes of those soon

Well I don't really fall victim to nostalgia and I've been playing since Red/Blue/Yellow. My favorite gen is 3. Yet for some reason I still have a special place in my heart for gen 2. I think it was the region that did it for me. I though Johto was amazing. Also Totodile is my favorite starter.

to be honest, the only difference is what the problems today are. To claims a previous gen was inferior because it was "flawed" is stupid because obviously EVERY game had flaws but you still eat the shit up. The only person that dislikes nostaliafags are people who never got to experience it.

Never forget the day I got HeartGold. It was raining actually. I thought GameStop opened at 11, but really they opened at 9. I still got it though since I had it on reserve. Got that Ho-Oh figurine too.

Still my favorite Pokemon game to this day.

...that's exactly what's wrong. The remake of a game with major flaws didn't bother to fix said flaws, it just tacked on a bunch of stupid gimmicks and a peripheral.

I swear, the open, rural atmosphere has been the best. When you juxtapose that with the up-and-coming Kanto region, you have to admit that it's the best game yet.

Not being able to fly from one region to the other.

Being forced to encounter the game's mascot.

You could add the Rocket admins in there too, because they were basically Galactic admins foisted upon the game.

Not to mention what amounts to a large amount of on-disk DLC with all the exclusive events.
