So I have been out of the loop since Diamond/Pearl (so boring), and came back with X/Y. I absoulutley love the shit out of Pokemon again, and feel bad for taking haitus on the account of DP. My question to you wise anons is which of these games (Platinum, HG/SS, B/W 1/2) are really fucking good and need to be played immediately?

Also why the fuck is HG/SS so fucking expensive everywhere? Nintendo should print more christ.

B/W 2 are great games in my opinion.
HG/SS, look around at flea markets and pawn shops, and haggle with the gypsies.
I Bought both emerald and SS for 35 bucks at the local flea market.

Black/White 2 is still honestly probably my favorite installation to date. I'd highly recommend it, but I think in order to improve the experience and further appreciate it, playing Black or White beforehand would be best.

The price of HGSS for an unopened copy is partially driven up by the fact it comes with a Pokéwalker, which is a PokéBall-stylized pedometer you can use to level up Pokémon gradually while not playing the game, get some neat items, and even catch some Pokémon. If you really enjoyed gen 2, it's worth playing; if not, don't feel bad about skipping on it until later.

Platinum is also a great game for what it is. It improved on nearly everything which made Diamond/Pearl disappointing games for me, as well, at least in terms of Pokémon availability. Plot is essentially the same, but some of the changes made it feel smoother. It's not a bad game, but I could understand wanting to skip it.

Basically, both parts of the Black/White saga are my recommendations for worth playing as soon as possible.

Do I need to own the actual copies to use the cloud system come december...or can I play these games on flashcards?

I take it hacks like Blaze Black/Storm Silver are totally incompatible?

As a 3ds app it's going to pull the pokemon from your official b/w/2 games that are inserted in the 3ds. It wouldn't be able to pull it from a rom on a flash card.

It depends entirely on your opinion. You might like BW a lot if you are up for an adventure with only new Pokémon. Though, you've probably seen quite a few of them after playing XY. I personally preferred BW2, but it's really all up to opinion. Also, if you want to play Platinum, it'll probably redeem 4th gen for you. However, I wouldn't get it unless you have ample free time and you can find it for a bargain.

HG/SS is an absolute blast if you use the little pedometer thing and played them before, otherwise it's just a neat experience.

Platinum fixed everything wrong with gen 4. Buuut..

B/W 1 or 2: Go for it. You don't NEED to play 1 to get 2, but there's interaction there if you do choose to play both. However this gen had a very robust pokedex and plenty of post-game content (emphasis for 2 there) so I STRONGLY recommend black/white 2 and to use pokemon you dont recognize.

Ok I'm probably going with B 1/2. What exactly was wrong with gen 4 anyway? I played it during launch and can only recall how utterly forgettable and ultimately boring it was. I loved the fuck out of Gen 1/2/3, and even the 1 remakes. For whatever reason I played Diamond and said fuck it.

Ah makes sense. Hypothetically though If a friend had a legitimate pokemon cart, and I played using a flash card and we traded...couldn't I pull my mons from his card? Are romhacks like Blaze compatible sense it seems the only changes are leveled up trainers?

It was really slow and painstaking. Personally my least favorite in the series, though I still loved it at the time. It was Gamefreak's first DS game, so it was somewhat of a beta title. With Platinum, they fixed all of the bugs and the slow speed and whatnot. Not to mention the fact that Giratina's story was WAY more interesting than Dialga and Palkia's.

Black and White 2 were amazing. They took all the great changes Black and White and magnified them. But there's also something to be said for playing B&W 1 and then seeing the characters mature and grow in 2. The duo has probably the best character development in any Pokemon game. It's also cool to use Game-Sync, and have them reference your character from 1 in 2.
It also doesn't seem like it needs to be said, judging by all the positive talk, but HG/SS are also really friggin awesome

Third versions are always fantastic. I love the move tutors. They always open up so many options for certain Pokémon.
