Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted March 16, 2013 First off, This is not a thread about what kind of stuff will occur in Pokemon X/Y. Now I got that out of the way. Because of the wonderful system we now have called Wi-Fi, I figure I can get another pokemon game. (I only have diamond, I'm so far behind...) However, due to recent announcements of pokemon, nintendo or the guy who is in charge of pokemon decided to increase the prices of the pokemon games. So I can probably only buy one pokemon game once in a while. So my question to you guys is, which pokemon game should I get? Platinum Heartgold (likely) Soulsilver Black (likely) White No, I will not buy B/W2 bc they are related via story so I rather start at the first black and white series.

Weiss 8,279 Posted March 16, 2013 If you prefer some of the older pokemon go with heartgold since you'll get gen 1's an 2's first. Black has more pokemon in total since it's fifth gen. And platinum is platinum pretty much. It's really up to choice. None of them are necessarily "better" than the other though many have their preferences. If you've never played gold/silver/crystal before though I suggest getting heartgold. 1 Kaneki Ken reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played Crystal (fun game!) and I think you may be right, if I'm feeling nostalgic, I should buy heartgold. hmm... Pokemon games simply not better than another, I have a feeling that I'm leaning towards Black. once I get my pokemon game I will post my friend code online, since I know KH13 loves pokemon.

Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted March 16, 2013 This. I'm a bigger fan of B/W, technically, but that's owing to overall coolness factor. HG/SS are really good. So I've heard. I'm just happy that DS systems (yes I'm including 3DS) are compatible with wifi so this makes trading so much easier. However, event legendaries, that's a different story.

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted March 16, 2013 I suggest you go with HeartGoldSoulSilver In case you want more of Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokemon But if you want an overall better story you can play BlackWhite 1&2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jilly Shears 2,144 Posted March 16, 2013 If you haven't played any of the Sinnoh games yet, I'd say go for Platinum. It definitely fixes everything wrong with Diamond/Pearl and steps it up with the storyline.But if you have, I'd say skip HGSS and go straight for Black or White (and eventually the sequels afterward). Especially if you've already played through Gen II, or if you don't care about getting Kanto / Johto Pokemon in your games. 1 Kaneki Ken reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowkiller 6 Posted March 16, 2013 Defiantly heart gold or soul silver. Now only if they would make a remake of the best pokemon game ever crystal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted March 16, 2013 How about this: I get Black first, then Black2, and finally HG. If anyone has the opposite game of what I'm getting, then I'm willing to trade with you to catch all the pokemon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
