OK, YES IT DOES SEEM A LITTLE MUCH TO MAKE YOU PLAY 5 OR 6 GAMES TO GET THEM ALL.  BUT THERE ARE 493 DIFFERENT POKEMON!!!  OF COURSE IT'S TOUGH!  YOU'RE SPANNING 4 DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF POKEMON HERE.  IT SHOULD BE DIFFICULT.  YOU SHOULDN'T ONLY HAVE TO PLAY 2 GAMES TO GET THEM ALL.  IM ALL FOR MAKING IT EASIER TO GET THOSE PESKY SECOND GENS, BECAUSE PLAYING THE GCN GAMES WAS A DEFINITE BITCH.  BUT MAKING IT SO YOU DONT HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH THE ADVANCE GAMES ANYMORE?

EVERY LEGENDARY IN EXISTENCE IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE IN THIS GAME.  THE WHOLE POINT OF "CATCHING 'EM ALL" IS TO GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE.  TO MAKE IT SO IF YOU DO, THEN YOU REALLY DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY YOU'RE A POKEMON MASTER.  I PLAYED ALMOST 600 COMBINED HOURS CATCHING AND BREEDING, CATCHING AND BREEDING ON 9 DIFFERENT GAMES TO GET THEM ALL.  TO MAKE SURE I HAD A COPY OF EACH ONE SO WHEN A NEW GAME CAME OUT, I COULD FILL MY POKEDEX AGAIN.

TO ACHIEVE A GOAL SO GREAT SHOULDN'T BE SO EASILY ACCESABLE.  POKEMON IS ONE OF THE HARDEST GAMES IN EXISTENCE TO COMPLETE 100 PERCENT.  AS IT SHOULD BE.  YOUR SUPPOSED TO CATCH ALMOST 500 DIFFERENT CREATURES!  WHY CHANGE THAT AND MAKE IT SO EASY?

wtf hoen region cinno , jhoto, and kanto?

Does this mean all regions?!

Because not everyone likes the idea of having to spend an extra $100 and (before the DS) potentially travel a few hundred miles just to get 100% in a single game.

Amen. Fuck event Pokemon. I'm not going to New York to get a fucking Arceus. It should be on the game I paid for!

Also, all the regions are NOT in this game. As of right now, only Kanto and Johto are in the game.

I would also prefer that there are no event Pokemon, myself. That would be just super keen.

Game of the year 2010

I NEVER ONCE FUCKING SAID ANYTHING ABOUT EVENT POKEMON, DID I?  IM TALKING LEGENDARY LIKE KYOGRE OR GROUDON OR LATIAS AND LATIOS.  EVENT POKEMON LIKE DARKRAI ARE BULLSHIT.  I AGREE.  IVE NEVER TRAVELED ANYWHERE TO GET THOSE.  BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF HGSS, YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO PLAY RUBY, SAPPHIRE, FIRE RED OR LEAF GREEN.  YOU HAVE 500 DIFFERENT POKEMON TO COLLECT TO GET 100% IN THIS GAME!!  IT SHOULD BE A BITCH TO GET THEM ALL.  THATS THE POINT OF GAMES, TO CHALLENGE US TO HAVE FUN.

HOW CAN YOU BECOME A "POKEMON MASTER" AND "CATCH 'EM ALL" IF YOU HAVE NO NEED TO EVEN EXPLORE THE REGION OF HOENN.

AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING POKEMON IN THE PAST YEAR OR TWO, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT EVENT POKEMON HAVE BEEN RELEASED OUTSIDE OF TRAVELING ANYWHERE.   NOTHING FOR MEW OR CELEBI.  JIRACHI HAD A BONUS DISK, DEOXYS HAD A GAMESTOP EVENT.  DARKRAI HAD A TOYS R US EVENT AND A DS DOWNLOAD EVENT.  SHAYMIN ALSO HAD A TOYS R US EVENT.  ARCEUS HASNT HAD ANYTHING YET.  SO IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT, M,OST OF THEM WERE ATTAINABLE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER ANYWAY.  YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP ON IT. 

THE DS DOWNLOAD HAS PLANS FOR AN ARCUES EVENT FOR PLATINUM.  AND MEW ANDE CELEBI FOR HGSS.  SO WHILE I DO DISAGREE WITH EVENT POKEMON, DS DOWNLOAD SERVICE WAS CREATED FOR A REASON.  THEYVE ALLREADY SHOWN IT WITH 2 EVENTS SINCE PLATINUM WAS RELEASED 6 MONTHS AGO.

SO IF YOUR AT 490 POKEMON LIKE I AM IN YOUR POKEDEX, THEN YOUVE COMPLETED IT 100% WITH WHAT YOUVE BEEN GIVEN.  IF YOU HAVE ALL 493 IN THE U.S. THEN YOU HAVE A POKEMON THAT ISNT REAL.  IT WAS ACTION REPLAYED.  MEW, CELEBI, AND ARCEUS SHOULD BE THE EMPTY PAGES IN YOUR POKEDEX.

Petrojr, before I reply, I'm going to have to ask you to turn off Caps Lock

That is ridiculously hard to read

RED/BLUE- KANTO

GOLD/SILVER- JOHTO

RUBY/SAPPHIRE- HOENN

DIAMOND/PEARL- SINNOH

COLOSSEUM/XD- ORRE

I AGREE WITH THEM GETTING RID OF THE USE FOR ORRE, IT WAS A TERRIBLE REGION.  BUT DONT GET RID OF THE NEED FOR HOENN.  WHILE IT IS PROBABLY THE WORST OF ALL THE ACTUAL REGIONS, YOU CAN'T BE A MASTER OF THE GAME AND NOT PLAY THROUGH A QUARTER OF THIS POKEMON WORLD

Ok, just for you though.  Until this thread is over.
