Pokémon HG/SS - Who's getting which?

[YoshiRider123]

Just curious who here's getting which, or both, or neither.

HG/SS is coming out next month, and by now whatever hype that existed is coming back again to people, myself included.

So which version are you getting? When can you expect yourself to get it? Who'll be your starter?

I'm choosing to get HeartGold some time during next month, with Totodile as my starter.

Discuss.

The original Silver marked a lot of firsts for me. It was one of the first games I ever played, my first GBC game, and the first Nintendo game I actually beat. The amount of nostalgia it holds for me is more or less unparalleled. I even feel a deeper connection with Silver than I do with Crystal (Crystal had some graphical tweaks and a few nice additions, but I didn't really like the focus on Suicune).

Of course, I'm getting SoulSilver. If my sister wasn't getting HeartGold, maybe I would have to buy it also, but for now I'm not.
Unlike what usually happens as soon as I buy new games, I'll be playing SoulSilver (hopefully pre-ordering it) as soon as it arrives.
I haven't decided on my starter yet, but if I really want to emulate my original Silver file as much as possible, I'd pick Totodile. I might pick Cyndaquil since I picked him in Crystal, but I won't be picking Chikorita since I really dislike that Pokémon.

SoulSilver. It's fucking Soul Silver. How could anyone not want it?

...But then, all my my friends also feel the same way, so one of us may have to pick up HeartGold at some point as well.

SS, although preferably more than one of us has to get HG. >_>;


I started Gen II with Silver although it wasn't mine (my sister's).
MY actual copy was Crystal. Then my sister took it because she could play as a girl. So I got Silver.

I first chose Chikorita in my own game.
Then I chose Totodile.

I dunno which of those to choose now, although I'll probably pick Totodile.

Well, here's how I decided upon Soul Silver.

I never played Gen II, so I asked my friend who did, "Which legendary is better, Ho-Oh or Lugia?"

The reply was Lugia so I'll go with Soul Silver, despite the fact that I won't actually use Lugia and despite the fact that I can get both in one game. :U

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

So looking back at the poll right now, who's the other guy getting HeartGold?

I have the same problem IRL. All of my friends are getting SoulSilver as well, which really cuts down on the variety.

Meeeeee. I voted last night and didn't post.
Silver is a less of a precious metal, so why buy something I assume will be second rate

</logic>

[Toadster]

HeartGold has all the worthwhile exclusives, while SoulSilver has none. ((I chose Chikorita in Crystal, so maybe this time I'll go with Cyndaquil or Totodile. Though, I never end up keeping my starter to the very end.))

It's SCIENCE.

Also,

I like this very much.

I'm getting HeartGold since it seems like everyone else is getting SoulSilver.
I'm getting Chikorita. Grass types kick ass
