Lack of copies since they'd have to have made a bunch of pokewalkers with each one.

Because it's objectively the best Pokémon game. Same reason Tetris DS is the only version that still holds any value.

Because of that gimmick device pictured on the right, and resellers disregard whether or not it's included with the game. That's why it became so expensive, yet for some reason the market got away with selling for that price with the game only.

All older pokemon games are annoying to find or expensive. I was looking for HG for a few months and finally settled on a bundle with some GBA games on ebay

Idk if anyone bought mine or if it's still there but someday I may try to buy it back. Maybe my save will still be intact.

Same here, but I bought another from the website while they still had them.
Couldn't get another belt clip back for it, but maybe that was for the best.

Either way, it's a recent-ish Tetris game developed by Nintendo, instead of some hacked together mess from EA or Ubisoft.

Just buy an R4 and get the rom. Romhacks are honestly better than the vanilla games anyway.

Tetris DS had a really, really, really small printing, for god-only-knows what reason. Like, it was gone from most online retailers within a couple of weeks. People speculate that it was either because Nintendo didn't believe the game would sell or because of some kind of legal issue that Nintendo noticed at the last minute.

I was a very dumb kid. I always see at least one used copy at my local gamestop so I might rebuy it in the future, now that I'm a less dumb person

Gosh darn. When i was a kid these games didn't have the words "heart" and "soul" attached to them.

My local target was selling the stock off at the end of HGSS run. I picked up 4 copies of HG and 2 copies of SS for 10 dollars each all complete and still shrink wrapped . I had a copy of each already so all of them are still unopened. I might get around to selling one or two in the future.
