I haven't, played a pokemon rpg right through in long time, so long in fact i can't remember the version,the reason being every new one seemed to be 90% the same as the previous versions. so should i buy Soul silver or am i better off waiting for the next one since some one mentioned it was going to expand on the franchise let me know what you all think and your reasons

In my opinion, you should wait for the launch of Pokemon Black/White. 

Soul Silver and Heart Gold are pretty much the same games that Gold and Silver were back in the GB/GBC era, with a few additions of what the Diamond/Pearl games had done before, but nothing that was very innovative.

From what we have seen so far from Black/White, they're overhauling the entire series. Not only in terms of looks (it's going to be almost full 3D), but in also of the battle system itself. From what videos have shown, the entire battle processes more dinamycally and it has a whole different look to it. So far, that's the only thing we know, and even then it's more conjectures from the videos, than actual information released by Game Freaks.

Personally, I can't wait for them. I love the pokemon series and can't ever get tired from them, but from what has been shown so far, these games are going to give the series the much needed uplift.
