All of a sudden I got really hyped for this game.  Red version had one of the greattest impacts on me as a gamer and no matter how old I get I keep getting sucked into each new one....I'm actually considering going to toys'r'us to get Regigigas if I have some time.....anybody else ready to catch'em all again?

Diamond/Pearl were lame imo. Same thing as every other pokemon game. Silver/Gold were amazing, but crystal was a huge letdown. I'm not buying platinum.

i'm getting a DS with this Game and chinatown wars

What's the big advantage of the third game again?

I mean... the first two can perfectly trade with each other...

While the third doesn't have them all nessessitating you know people who own both of the first two correct?

I never got the later release of the third game.

I beat Diamond 2 years ago. I never buy the Pokemon "yellows".

@ Undying, that's true. It kind of slipped my mind that this was the "yellow" version of this gen. I was under the impression that this had more differences with Diamond/pearl than yellow did with red/blue......not sure. But me and my brother combined have gotten every Pokemon game for Nintendo handhelds minus one of the ranger ones, I don't have time for that spinoff stuff anymore haha. But I had the Trading card game and the pinball game :)

Whats the difference between this and other pokemon games? If its exactly the same with just a few new pokemon then why hype at all?

damn... the should make a gold/silver remake like they did with leaf green and fire red :(

I am. All the Pokemons have sucked besides Red/Blue and their remakes. I havent played Pokemon in a LONG time so I think its time to get back into it and I may as well play the complete version of the latest.
