I don't have shares in Nintendo, so I don't care if a game sells more the more it's rehashed. Point is, I got tired of the same old Pokemon formula with carppy Pokemons. I'm waiting eagerly the GS remake because, while it'll be the same formula, at least I know the Pokemons will be good

You know as well as anyone that Heart Gold and Soul Silver have 3rd and 4th gen Pokemon available.

Also what's carppy?

But now you'll be getting all the good new stuff that came out of the Pokémon games in the recent years. Don't you think that's a bit hypocrite (or something like that)?

At least 95% of Heart Gold and Soul Silver's appeal is the nostalgia.  If they were entirely new games, Zexen_lowe would be bitching about how the new pokemon will be crap and how Gold and Silver were better.

Seriously, stop talking about 5 month old bread when there's new bread available.

Not really. I didn't see any "really good" improvement in DP (I don't do wi-fi) other than graphics. I'm just excited for the perspective of a GS with prettier graphics and new areas to explore

Wait, did you stop playing at Red/Blue/Yellow? If you did, you missed A LOT of things buddy.

Play G/S on a GBC then, besides there's no guaranty that's you're going to like the new areas.  Also.. prettier graphics..

-facepalm-

What do you mean? I've beaten Pokemon Blue, Gold, Sapphire, Leaf Green, and got tired of Diamond in the middle. I certainly didn't stop playing anywhere (other than stop playing Diamond, of course)

He stopped after Diamond.  He wasn't impressed with Ruby/Sapphire because he thinks most of the interesting pokemon are too far between.  He got Diamond out of hope and he was disappointed.

In short, he's nostalgia-striken.

Ah, I see.

As for the new features, well, along with the day & night stuff from G/S, they added a five time periods a day which change a few things like the chance of a certain PKMN appearing in certain areas. That adds depth to the gameplay for sure.

They also made some battle tweaks such as grouping moves in three types (Physical, Special and Others). Just a better way to sort moves, it's always good.

And sadly, you don't do Wi-fi, which is a big part of the game. One of the many Wi-fi features is that you can trade with people all around the world and in the Global Trade Station, you can request for certain types if you know some of your friends don't have them. That's the best thing ever since sliced bread!

Oh, and the Pokémon Contests are awesome. It adds more replay value to an already enormous game! o_O

(Yes, I went to Wiki because I haven't played the game for two years.)

@ Smoked: I agree that Ruby/Sapphire didn't bring much to the table, but Diamond felt like a completely new PKMN game. This one brought a lot of cool stuff to the series.
