dazzybee Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah, spill the beans yesteryear. Are both version identical and I should just get the version I think has prettier packaging?!

Serebii Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 The only difference between the versions are these; http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/exclusives.shtml and a couple of these http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/legends.shtml
Ashley Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Is it me or does Luiga look like a dog trying to chase its own tail on the boxart?
dazzybee Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Okay, preordered the gold one. Looking forward to it. Crazy games month but oh well, should entertain me, especially as I have 3 weeks in france in may
Emerald Emblem Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I'm gonna have to go to town on Release day and trade in if I want to afford this this month.
Debug Mode Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 they both look great and shiny Now, do them Pokewalker mabobs come with batteries? Thanks in advance!
Emasher Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 For a while I was considering not getting this. Then I saw a thread on some other forum asking people if they were getting the game or not. I didn't even look into the thread, but it put the game at the front of my mind again. Now with reading this topic, and from my own nostalgia, I've convinced myself that I need this. I'm guessing you can't get it without the pedometer though, I doubt I would ever use that.

Dante Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Iwata:At that time I wasn’t a Nintendo employee but was President of HAL Laboratory. At the same time, I was a board member at Creatures Inc. and I ended up being involved in analysing the best way to localise the overseas versions of Red and Green. For that reason, I got hold of the source code for Red and Green and I would study that and suggest ways to localise it to the relevant department at Nintendo. Ishihara: At the same time, Pokémon Stadium came out... Iwata: Right. (laughs) You decided to release Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64 and the first task was to analyse Red and Green’s battle logic and send it over to Miyamoto-san and his team. You’d normally expect there to be a specification document, but there was nothing of the sort… Morimoto: I’m so sorry! (laughs) Iwata: No, no, it’s fine! (laughs) Studying the program for the Pokémon battle system was part of my job. Morimoto: I created that battle programme and it really took a long time to put together. But when I heard that Iwata-san had been able to port it over in about a week and that it was already working… Well, I thought: “What kind of company president is this!?” (laughs) All: (laughter) Morimoto: I was saying things like: “Is that guy a programmer? Or is he the President?” (laughs) Iwata: To be blunt, at the time I was more of a programmer than I was a company president. (laughs) Morimoto: (laughs) I was really taken aback that you could get to grips with such a complicated programme in such a short space of time. Ishihara: I remember thinking that there just weren’t that many people out there who would be able to read the entire Game Boy source code, which was by no means written in a highly-refined programming language, and grasp how everything connected with everything else. So Iwata-san, you analysed the whole thing and reworked the code, decided on the way to localise Red and Green, got the battle system running on N64… I was gobsmacked that you managed all of that… Iwata: Well, at the time, I felt that for the whole team at Nintendo, the biggest priority was not to do anything that would adversely influence the development of Gold and Silver. So I very naturally slotted in on the development side for Pokémon. Morimoto: What's more, there were the tools for compressing the Pokémon graphic code… Iwata: Ah yes, the compression tools. Morimoto: You were kind enough to create those tools. Iwata: Yes. (laughs) Well, I had heard from Ishihara-san that you’d been rather concerned about it. Morimoto: At that point, we got a little carried away and were making all sorts of demands, saying: “This part isn’t quite right – do you think you could fix it?” We had some nerve to be making those requests to a company president… (laughs) Iwata: Well, I was willing to do whatever I could! (laughs) Ishihara: It would have been a waste to just have you as President! (laughs) All: (laughter) Iwata is a programmer wizard.
Tellyn Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Iwata is the true kicker of ass and taker of names at Nintendo.

Mike Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Just reached the Safari Zone - man, I hate that place. It's so hard to catch anything decent! It's nice to know that there's nothing there that I need to complete my Pokédex, though, for once.

It's nice to know that there's nothing there that I need to complete my Pokédex, though, for once. Erm, if you're talking about National Dex, yeah there is...a lot :P and it'll literally take you months http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/safarizone.shtml Anyway, I found out something today my contact neglected to tell me. The Tin Tower in Ecruteak City has been renamed the Bell Tower
Mike Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Erm, if you're talking about National Dex, yeah there is...a lot :P and it'll literally take you monthshttp://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/safarizone.shtml I count my complete Dex on Diamond as being my main one. I've certainly got no intention of catching everything all over again on my HeartGold cartridge.
Serebii Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Well then :P Anyway, the Yellow Forest event has been announced. The official site has just updated and has announced that the Yellow Forest Pokéwalker route is set to be given over WiFi in America, and likely Europe & Australia as they run off the same servers, from April 1st 2010 to April 30th 2010. This WiFi event allows the download of the route in Pokéwalker that houses six different kind of Pikachu. One of them knows Surf, and one of them knows Fly.

Ramar Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Finally got round to pre-ordering, at least £29.99 on Game's website isn't so bad as the inital £39.99 RRP.
Nintenchris Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 This game rules! never got to play it first time arround One thing i cant figure out... how on earth does the poke walker thingy connect to the Pokemon cartridge? cos the top of it looks just like any other DS cartridge
RedShell Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 One thing i cant figure out... how on earth does the poke walker thingy connect to the Pokemon cartridge? cos the top of it looks just like any other DS cartridgeI'm guessing it's the same as the Activity Meters and Walk With Me, in which case it'll use infrared.
Serebii Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Correct. The top of the cart has an IR receiver/transmitter
Pyxis Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I'm going to have 2 weeks off at the end of the month, so I might as well get this! Heart Gold for me.. I suppose I had all 3 games originally. Oh yeah, is it possible to trade pokemon from Fire Red and Leaf Green like in Diamond and Pearl?
Serebii Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 It certainly is. Pal Park is found in Fuchsia City. Unlike DP though, you're not limited to 6 Pokemon per game per day
Debug Mode Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Well, just been speaking to a friend of mine, GAME have all their copies ready in stock, in store.. So if any one you feel like scousing a shop and stealing one, get me a copy of Heart Gold!
