gunnar hendershow Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I will probably be grabbing Yellow pretty soon, especially off this news about the Bank compatability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm going to get Red, because I owned Blue as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means I can get my surfing Pikachu back that I keep losing every gen due to the stupid "no HMs" rule How does one get a surfing Pikachu without Stadium though? They're ports, but from memory there was no legal way to get a surfing Pikachu in RBY without Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was hoping it would be a package deal instead of buying each separately (not sure why I thought that; wishful thinking maybe), but I'll probably grab Red. Not sure if I'll be getting Sun or Moon, though. I may be at the point where I'm over new Pokemon games. Of course, six months from now I may be on the hypetrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just picked up my Yellow Edition 2DS and found a pre-owned copy of Y there, so grabbed that too. Now to set the thing up and lose myself in my childhood all over again for a few hours. Update: The data of the guy who previously owned this copy of Y must have been some really young kid, because his PC has about 12 really weak early game things and then he just has the following 9 Pokemon leveled up into the 70s: Xerneas, Yveltal, Blaziken, Trevenant, Lucario, Pikachu, Talonflame, Greninja, Venasaur Gonna download Pokemon Bank quickly and steal them, cheers for the freebies, Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenged Probably Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is there any thing to stop you starting a bunch of new games and getting all the starters using bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraig Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm finally caught up with my Pokémon games. Currently playing X and AS simultaneously.3196-3767-1772 Also @Avenged, once you put something into the Bank you can take it out no problem, it's not actually anchored to your game cart it's anchored to your Nintendo ID. So yeah, pretty sure you can farm starters that way. All you need is the Pokédex to get access to Bank as far as I know, and you get that VERY early in the game.

Avenged Probably Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 That's pretty cool then. Wish I'd known that before starting my current game With the release of the originals now, does this mean that every Gen (original or a remade version) is playable on DS?

Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I believe so, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I can't decide whether I want Red or Yellow version. Red because I always preferred it (despite having Red and Blue as a kid), and Yellow because it would mean I'd have access to all three starters (I believe), but really I'd be fine with just Charmander.

Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty sure you get them all in Yellow. Bulbasaur in Cerulean, Charmander at the top of Nugget Bridge, and Squirtle in Vermillion. At least that's the way i remember it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yeah, I believe you do. I think Red would just have more nostalgia for me since it was the very first Pokemon game, while Yellow had color and some elements from the anime. Screw it, I'll just get Red. I can't imagine the starters in this having any special moves or anything that would require me to have them, and I can live without more colors or Pikachu following me around.

TheWho87 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 An interesting look at what might be happening in the new games, this is not really spoilers since he is using the Sun and Moon reference to get to what the legendaries and base theme of the games may be based on cultural references.

TCO Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Gotten proper emotional and nostalgic with all the Pokemon 20th anniversary stuff this week. I'm an adult now and have all the great things that come with that, but Pokemon will always be there. It basically was a large portion of my childhood on its own and it'll never not be a part of me. I can't wait to share it with any future kids I may have too. I got a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Red at the age of 8 in May 2000 and 16 years and all the versions later I'm just as excited to be picking up Pokemon Sun or Moon this year. Pokemon is the best. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Finally got round to playing Alpha Sapphire. Ended up getting a (mostly) random team together to give a few Pokemon I've never used a try. Just beat Roxanne, my team is: Level 12 Remoraid Level 10 Onix Level 10 Beedrill Level 10 Duskull Level 9 Rufflet Level 9 Furfrou What I've learned so far is Furfrou is a beast. Using a limited-heal challenge too to give it a bit extra. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuya Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 ...didn't Brawly used to have a Hariyama? Because I practically one-shotted him this time and I swear I used to have a lot more trouble in the original games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
