The best Pokemon finally gets an upgrade and doesn't have an internal battery that kills the save files...grr..
I couldn't said it any better myself. Quoted for truth.

Oh god, I remember that. I remember going back to my Gold/Silver cartridges after leaving them alone for…...God knows how long, and then I get that little error message. Oy.
But yeah, lookin' forward to this.
Had the same problem,everytime I turned it off (even after 1 min) it would erase the file.
How? You ain't doing anything but downloading a Pokémon "multiple times" on your Diamond/Pearl and Platinum.
That was stupid of them, unless they were closing. Haha
Well, it's a little different here for some reason. They have the event turned off until you tell them about it. Which I find strange.
Anyway, I asked about the event so this guy told me that I had to pre-order the game to get Jirachi. I told him that I already did so, and he said I could only get one Jirachi for that order.

Sounds like that store is run by asses. Its NOT supposed to be a pre-order exlusive, its supposed to be free to anyone coming in, sheerly as a motivator to get them TO the store, like all the other giveaways.
Heck, usually if their wifi is decent, you can do it from outside without even entering the store.
Seven more days…
Speaking of 7, what is your choise for starter 'mon?
And your first eevee evolution?

Totodile,and Vaporeon,since Glaceon needs D,P,Plat to evolve it.
Speaking of 7, what is your choise for starter 'mon?
And your first eevee evolution?
Hehe! Fire! Fire!
Red/Blue - Charmander
Gold/Silver - Cyndaquil
Ruby/Sapphire - Torchic
Diamond/Pearl - Chimchar
First Eevee evolution? Vaporeon :P
All water for me.
And for the Eevee evolution Jolteon, but i wished we cold have all Evee evolutions with just one Evee like Red's Eevee had in the manga that could evolve and devolve when using diferent stones.
Fire starters are the way to go for me, at least for my first run through of the game (I think I'll go with Totodile next, or if I'm ballsy Chikorita).
Greets from Mexico!!!
To be honest long gone were the days of training pokemon for me, but as many people here I could not live without playing the remakes of one of my favorites games of my childhood, so today I armed myself with value (And money) and face to the hot cashier girl of my local shop and bought a Soul Silver copy (A week before it's originar release!!!) Proceed to another shop where i got Jirachi on Diamond, and get instructions to download special colours Pichu…
Nice way to start again didn't it?

You son of a lucky bitch… :cwy:
Starting with me usual Water. If I bother with Eevee, I'll get Umbreon. Thing was badass in Colosseum.

You must live in a huge city, right? I mean, 'cause in the city that I'm from they hardly ever sell any videogames. Let alone give it away before the actual release.
Speaking of 7, what is your choise for starter 'mon?

Same as I did with my Japanese HG; Cyndaquil and Jolteon.
I am never using Ampharos again. Slow bastard. >:\
Ever since i first saw Jolteon it was my favorite of the Eeveelutions (though i haven't trained on myself, i use a Vaporeon instead)
Btw, about the ear-Pichu from HG/SS, does the event Pichu have to be specifically a Pichu? I want to evolve it into a Pikachu.

No, you can evolve the Pichu and still activate the event.
I'm going to go with a Cyndaquil, just like back in the old days. Polywrath will be my water Pokemon, and I guess I'll go with Jolteon for my electric one.
Just wondering, and I apologize if this has already been asked, but can HG and SS trade with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum right off the bat or do you need to beat the Elite 4/ activate a special event first?
Just asking since I remember FR and LG needed to activate a machine with the Ruby and Sapphire and unlock National Dex first.
@Syan:

Yes, D/P/Pt can trade with HG/SS almost from the beginning(You have to do the part with Mr. Pokemon first).
Sweet. And that's any Pokemon or eggs, right?

Yeah, that's right.
Do you start with the Friend Code or do you have to get it at a certain time? :wassat:

Oh! You have the japanese HeartGold? Lucky.
I was going to order a japanese SoulSilver around when the American release date was a month away, but I took forever and forgot to order it so I just forgot about it. I'll probably order SoulSilver (JP) in the summer.
But, can you answer me a question Tsukento? I know it's Six more days away, but I wanted to know that in your PokéGear, can you rearrange the order of your phone contacts?
Damn it. I really can't wait anymore. I just saw a commercial for it on TV and I got way too excited.

I wonder if I should go to Sears tomorrow. They had Platinum really early…

I haven't really messed with it, but I believe you can. Though it's also worth noting that you aren't limited by how many people you can register like in the old days.

Yeah, I remember reading about that.
But, I'm just curious that could you rearrange it.
I'll put Mom and Elm on top, other important people, then Gym Leaders in order, then random trainers.
I don't want it to be like, "the order your numbers is the order you talk and recieve from them".
If so, I'm not going to get no numbers at all until the Gym Leaders.
No need to. They're (Mom and Elm) already the very first ones you get in there. :p
And yes, it is by order of who you get them from. However, it's not painfully slow to navigate through, so you should be fine. And considering the Gym Leaders give you their numbers at the end of the game (after beating Red), you'll find them at the end of the list more or less.
It's kind of strange, but I'll be grabbing one of these just so I can nab a Ho-oh for my Pokédex. After him, the only Pokémon missing from my collection will be Celebi, Deoxys, and Manaphy. Plus, I want to see my Shaymin's Sky Forme, which is apparently also possible in these.
Don't forget to stop by a GameStop by March 13 to download your Jirachi!
~~Got it memorized?
I'm probably gonna go again and hopefully fool the evil clerk to give me another Jirachi.
@KingofSarus:
D:
I haven't seen it yet…
Such a shame.
Quick question: was Platinum compatible with MyPokémonRanch? And will HeartGold/SoulSilver be compatible as well?
~~Anybody got that memorized?
Got my copy of Soul Silver entirely paid off a week ahead of time, and the sister has Heart Gold reserved. When they drop on Sunday, we're thinking of making a quick special trip before church to get our copies when the Gamestops open.
Quick question: was Platinum compatible with MyPokémonRanch?
There was SOMETHING that's incompatible that got fixed with a patch in Japan but NoA never bothered. I don't remember if it was compatibility with Platinum at all, or just compatibility with Platinum-exclusive forms and such. Sadly, I have a hunch it's the former.
And will HeartGold/SoulSilver be compatible as well?
Nope, 'fraid not. Like with Platinum for Japan, a patch-fix may happen eventually.
No need to. They're (Mom and Elm) already the very first ones you get in there. :p

Sigh… I thought so...
Thanks for the info.

Platinum? Yes it was.
HeartGold/SoulSilver? Not so sure…

~~Got it memorized?
As far as I know, it's worth noting that Sky Forme Shaymin and the alternate forme of Giratina are unable to be used via Wi-Fi due to Diamond and Pearl not having their data within the games.
And I got two of the Jirachi. 8D
Quick question: was Platinum compatible with MyPokémonRanch? And will HeartGold/SoulSilver be compatible as well?
~~Anybody got that memorized?
Yes and no. In Japan, MPR was issued a patch to make Platinum compatible. However, we're nearing the US release of HG/SS and still have yet to see a Platinum patch for any territory outside of Japan. It doesn't look likely it'll happen.
As for HG/SS, I don't think they issued a patch to make it compatible.
Oh, my bad!
Yeah, Platinum only works with a japanese My Pokémon Ranch with the patch like Tsukento said.
Sadly for non-japanese players, we haven't gotten a word.
Maybe… just maybe, they'll make a patch for Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver for everyone. I hope.
Not likely. At this point, it doesn't look like NoA cares. Same deal with how they don't plan on offering demos for WiiWare again.

Damn… you're totally right.
I'm not always on my Wii like I used to, but I don't remember ever seeing demos anymore.
I think Nintendo are done with the Wii, well… after SMG2, M:OM, new LoZ, and other interesting games.
They're ready for their "Wii 2" probably. lol
I hope not. I'm running out of money here.
Which reminds me that I need to order two more copies of Heart Gold and Soul Silver for my friend in Mexico.
Goodbye money.
I need to hit up some friends at GameStop to see if I can get this game early…
Don't bet on it. Corporate gets on their ass about shit like that.
Gamestop employee here. We can easily get fired for it and the company can get sued for breaking street date. Isn't worth the risk of losing your job, imho.

Depends on the situation. Some might break street date if another store breaks it. Happen to a GameStop when New Super Mario Wii came out. A store broke street date and well they just started selling it. Didn't get in trouble at all.

My friend got Borderlands a day early.
I'm curious would they let me do that with HeartGold.
As many times I've been up there and talked with them, I'm sure they'll hook me up.
I had PKMN Platinum a week before it came out as alot of games I had I got either the day off or a week before the release date. I'm hoping my store gets the game this week as since they don't ship games on sunday it has to be there between now or sat.

I'm going to seriously stalk my GameStop.
I'm going to show up there everyday and everynight.
Haha! If I really do that, I might as well apply and work with my old friend that I randomly met there after 3 years.
