Well one way might be to say something that I'm about to say...

I'm thinking of picking up a GC as soon as tomorrow.
A couple that haven't stopped breathing might now be thinking "why the change of heart ?"

The most obvious reason is that I have flu right now so chances are its the words of a sick bloke ranting.

The other is that I've been laying in bed thinking back to games I played such as Metroid and Zelda and how there are times I'd like to play them again (but of course in they're new forms). Afterall, at the end of the day I am a gamer, not a fanboy and I've grown up with Nintendo games.

I might also look into a Gameboy Advance SP towards the end of the month with some of the classic Snes games that are out or coming out.

If I get a GC, this is what I'm thinking of grabbing...
Black GC
Extra controller (black of course)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Sunshine
Advanced scart lead (for best pic and sound quality)

Then of course I'll pick up Metroid Prime and Zelda as they come out. Don't need a memory card as I have the one from when I had the GC before. Anyway, thats the current thing going through my head.
Blame my credit card taunting me while I'm ill for this happening.
Right, well I'm off to ponder more on this and decide on how I'm going to pay for it all if I decide to go shopping tomorrow.

Yeah there are a number of pokeballs - some more suited to certain situations such as catching water pokemon or weakened pokemon. Good stuff. ;-)

You never know you might be able to buy one at the end of the game...? *I was just guessing and I have not been looking at any walkthrough since last novemeber*
But that would be quite good. Theres always using a cheat cartridge...? To also get the missing pokemon?


Oh BTW, are there any different types of pokeballs in this adventure? Ones that are stronger than ultra balls but not strong enugh to be masterballs?

Yup all of those are gone. On the plus side theres plenty of new one chance to catch Pokemon in the new games. You'll be wishing you had a good handful of masterballs. ;-))

I suppose all 11 of the original Legendary pokemon from the other games will not be making an appearance in these 3 new games (that's right, 3) which is a bit annoying, they also must have left out the original starter Pokemon from the other games (except Yellow) but they will at least make an appearance in somebodies pokeballs.

Yeah a shedload of Pokemon have been left out Whitestripes - I'm gutted cause some of my favourites have gone. Its even more sickening when you find that excellent Pokemon aren't in the game while a few of the crappy ones have made it in.

I like importing games from America now, since you harldy know anything about the game since all the American's haven't aready spoiled the rest of the internet on what is going to happen in a game that hasn't come out here yet.
So I will be totally suprised and will have a totally hard experience when i get 'Golden Sun 2: Tthe Lost Age' which arrives tommorow hopefully. I hardly know anything about the game which makes it even better!

I'm always like that with Nintendo - only look up games on PS2. If a game looks or sounds good on GC, I get it.
