I'm in two minds to get this.

Having collected all 150 Pokemon (I never did get Mew *sobs*) I feel little point in spending about 30 quid just to play it again in colour.

But, the new features, like the mystery islands could be quite fun.

What should I do?

Maybe if a win GAD (fat chance) I'll claim it as my prize. After Burnout 3, which I still haven't bought (I am quite stupid).

Anyone got it? Is there any point in getting it if you had the original games?

Cheers.

I played Ruby through around a month ago, to level up good pokémon in order to transfer them to Leaf Green in order to make things faster. Then I realised that you can trade with R/S AFTER beating the Elite Four. Gah. Now I have to do it the old-fashioned way.

I just arrived at Victory Road, with a good squad, including Articuno and Zapdos. I also have my Master Ball ready for MewTwo after beating the Elite Four.

10 hours is a long time. I checked Pokémon yellow again today, after not touching it for 3 or so years... I had played for 35 hours with 151 pokémon. Yikes!

Anyone remember the 'Missingo' cheat?

That really ballsed up your game if you caught it. It 'twas fun getting 100 or so of the item 6th in your list, but then I went and caught the damn thing!

My game became so messed up. Everything was back to front and all the text was in some wierd cyber-genetic launguage (I think it was American)

So then, tearfully, I had to reset and start a new game.

And then my friend came down and give me all three starters, and one of the fossils :D

That old chestnut..

You can get Mew in Fire/Leaf if you're really bothered about that. And most of the Legendaries. They made it so you could get every Pokémon in-game if you have all Fire/Leaf/Ruby/Sapphire I thinks, and Jirachi you get free with the cack Pokémon Channel.

I want to get this, but I never got round to finishing my US Sapphire I imported a year ago :D So that'll come first. Stuck in some Underwater Cave place.

Damn. I didn't do that *sobs*.

Anyway, in FR/LG you get to visit some islands at the end with the likes of Ho-oh etc. So that should keep me busy.

Is that the one where you had to trade for a Pokemon with cut so that the S.S.Anne wouldn't leave port?

I tried that once, but I think you need to do more than that. I think it's something to do with a Rocket Member anda lv100 Nidoking.

Ah what the hell.

That sounds promsing.

You're swaying me toward buying it Microchips.

Then again, when I think about it I'm going to get Metal Slug 3 and Alien Hominid, and those games have been tarted up from before (MS3 being an arcade game, AH being a flash game on the net) so I have no arguement now.

Haha Dale, you're gonna have to buy it know!

:S

I imported Leaf Green from America when it came out a few weeks ago. It's definitely worth the money, and there's nostalgia all the way through.

Everything just seems, you know, right. Like the way Game Freak/Nintendo wanted it to look in 1996.
