I take it people are looking forward to these remakes? I know I am!
Gold and Silver were always my favourite entries in the series (Though Red and Blue in a close second). When I found out the rumours were true about these remakes I was ecstatic! And to think Kanto has been confirmed to be included as well.
Not to mention the chance to catch some of the Hoenn legendaries and having all Pokemon follow you... It's shaping up yo be perfect!
Must admit though, i'm not too keen on the names. HeartGold? SoulSilver? It sounds a bit silly. I thought they may have changed them when they were announced for the U.S. and Europe but it seems they're staying the same.

Indeed, the names could have been better. But I'm looking forward to it too! Gold and Silver (and Crystal) are great, since you get to travel through Johto and Kanto! A remake with better graphics only makes it that much better

*fangirl scream* SOULSILVERRRRRRRR. One word, folks. Teddiursa. Yay! ;D Names are OK. Thought 'soulsilver' is very lame. But 'heartgold' is alright. By the way, with the whole Johto/Kanto thing, do you take your Pokemon over with you? My first game was Ruby, so I dunno about them old-school games.

Seeing as I bought Silver all those moons ago. Must admit, slightly perplexed they decided to swap around the version exclusives. And yes, the Pokemon you start off with in Johto will then proceed to join you while scavenging across Kanto. You'll also be able to trade Pokemon from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum as well as Pal Parking your old Pokemon from Ruby. Is it just me, or is Ho-oh goofy-looking? I know what you mean but then again; Lugia looks pretty goofed up himself. Perhaps it's the HUGE arms/wings he's sporting.

March 14th huh? Lucky yanks. Us UKers have to wait until 26th of March. Still a pretty small window compared to SOME releases. We've had to wait on hand and foot for almost 2 years for somethings. Brawl was pretty bad in terms of release dates too. If any UKers haven't preordered and are looking for a cheap option I wholeheartedly recommend ShopTo.Net. They were at £25 a piece but they've gone up by a fiver and are now at £30. Cheapest as far as I am aware. Just wish some UK store would give away those limited edition figures.

In Japan you got an Arcues figurine if you preordered both but in the US we only get Lugia and Jo-oh. I am pretty sure the UK will get the Lugia and Ho-oh Figurines though. On a side note the more I read Nintendo Power the official nintendo magazine here in America the more excited I get. Sometimes I wish I lived in Europe though since here in America we have so many rude and dumb people. Not surprising my mom found and article that said Americans on average read even worse than the poles which only makes me wish I was born in Europe or Australia even more.

Japan gets ALL the best stuff it's not even funny. Only recently have LIMITED EDITION games started to appear over in the UK but it would seem we're still light years behind the Japanese. They get some seriously cool stuff. Good to hear you guys in the U.S. are getting the figures. Maybe I could import one because I seriously doubt any UK game stores are gonna sell them. Its less than a month for the release and none of the major gaming sites have announced anything. Which makes Joey a sad unicorn. Heh, well, in the future if you get the chance to move to Europe i'd say go for it. It's not a bad place here really. Just be prepared to wait longer for games. D:

AHA! I have discovered that GAME are currently holding the promotion to receive a Ho-Oh or Lugia figure depending on which game you preorder. Now... Do I give in to my temptations for a tiny little figure and pay for £5 more or not... Decisions, decisions!

I would do it only because they are collectors items.

I'll have to have a good think about it.
Oh and I just realised this thread, while technically could be kept in this board, would make more sense to be in the official HG/SS discussion board. I'll pester a mod when they come on to move it.
