Oh, you meant back in the day. Yeah, that sucked. I remember wanting the new Eevees and going through Hell to get them... Love sucked back then. Now, I'm tading myself a level one Togepi with a soothe bell. No waiting.

I just pre-ordered my import of Soulsilver. G/S were definitely the best in the series.

@SmokedHostage Just wait they don't reveal alot of the features until near the Japanese launch.

its THE BEST pokemon game ever

how can you NOT be excited?

Maybe you need to make the Gold and Silver hype train next.

In a matter of speaking, I'm not excited for G/S in D/P/Pt clothing.  I rather enjoy the original.  It's probably why I can't enjoy FireRed or LeafGreen.

Then just stick to the original. I am looking forward to the new games. I like the thought of something I love being brought back into the mainstream. I'm sure there are new fans of Pokemon who never touched Gold and Silver.

I know what you're getting at smokey, I felt the same way about the SNES SMB remakes in contrast to the original NES games.
It's like having a good ol' fashon hamburger taste, when the time comes that they will start messing with the flavour just a little bit, it feels like they sugar-coated it to the point that it's just plain wrong or feel betrayed. But don't let this get you down though, it just means that you really have a strong feeling for when it first came out, it's original estetic "taste"!

yeah, it happened when i was 11 year old O_o.

Can't wait for this x)

The sales of this game are going to be nuts.
