How many people here have more Pokemon than me in HeartGold and SoulSilver?

Is it actually possible to collect 'em all without having to go to weird fan-meetings and events and such?

It was in the old days of Red/Blue/Yellow, because everyone had Pokémon and you could trade with people that had a different version than you. And there was always the mew and missigno glitches to get Mew and duplicate useful items.

nowadays? Not a chance in hell. Game freak added too many pokemon that you have to download only from Nintendo, wich has ruined the point and the fun of Mew, and has resulted in pokemon like Cellebi that are no longer handed out by Ninteno fading away because they have no equivalent of the mew glitch.

That's my biggest problem with the new games. No glitches that can be abused by the veterans. It takes away so much fun.

I see. Yeah I remember back in the day, on Blue, I caught them all, and then once again in Gold, I think. Only thing I got from that was some lame message congratulating me, too... XD

Anyway, it's weird you'd have to go through so much trouble now to get them all, makes it virtually impossible. I practically gave up on Pokémon after Ruby/Sapphire, but I think it'd be fun to try and collect 'em all. There's what, like 500 Pokémon now? I wouldn't mind having to trade between different versions, and I wouldn't use any glitches if it was possible to get all of 'em in normal ways, but I don't have the time, motivation, nor opportunity to visit any awkward events or whatever. I don't recall ever hearing of any such Pokémon events taking place anywhere remotely close to where I live, anyway.

I miss the good old days of easily comprehensible Pokémon, without worrying over ribbons, sports minigames, move-breeding and held items, and being able to train strong critters without having to immerse myself into complicated mathematical calculations, and considering mind-bogglingly vast amounts of additional information, stats, side-effects and exceptions...

I know how you feel :(

What bothers me most are the new Uber pokemons like Deoxys. They are just so ugly. Rayquasa is by far the best of them and he is just a green flying gyarados. Deoxys is like "OMG where did they go wrong? T_T" Those green and red and white godzilla things are "meh" Why didn't they make a real legendary dragon instead of these things? Oh and don't get me started on that allmighty dog thing that supposedly created the universe. What happened to my beloved Pokémon games? T_T
