I haven't really played SoulSilver since I've gotten White. It did keep me playing for quite awhile though.

Wow. Talk about a bump.

Looking up above, I remembered that I miss Night...

But on topic, I still have yet to fight Red and beat him...

HeartGold and SoulSilver are some of the best Pokemon games of all time.

Scyther, Scizor, Mankey, Growlithe and Gligar. Any kind of gift givers out there? Growlithe is my main concern right now. Despite me being a water Pokemon nut, Arcanine is one of my favorite Pokemon. I'm going to breed it and dope it up some of its' great grand children at birth since I should be rich by then.

Yeah, Scyther is quite a challenge to deal with when you have first stage evolution pokemon since it's base stats are pretty high compared to most of the pokemon you can obtain by that point. I guess they expect you to catch a geodude or an onix in union cave and rock throw it to death.

Man, Bubsy is tough. His Scyther wiped the floor with my team the first time. My Totodile and pIdgey were both at level 16 which I thought was going to be enough. I leveled them both up by two to evolved them and put that scyther in its' place.

I want a Scyther and Scizor Badly. I'm on my to the third gym right now. I NEED THEM! Anyone feeling kind enough to trade me a female Scizor? Oh ya, my trainer is a male, but I only catch and battle with female pokemon for now. Sue me.

Yea FireRed and LeafGreen are remakes of Red and Blue but have nothing to do with HeartGold and SoulSilver.

ExpertGaming:
I did research. I have been playing Pokemon Stadium with my Pokemon Red cartridge for years. So I went out to buy one more Pokemon game, and it turns out to be a remake of Red, the game I already own. I thought it was going to be something completely new. I would get Diamond, but I heard it's a remake of Yellow. If I find out otherwise though I will definitely buy it.

1. Diamond is not a remake of Yellow. That one is original, although you might disagree...

2. Pokemon Soul Silver / Heart Gold are neither remakes of Pokemon Red. As I said before, Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold were remakes of Pokemon Silver and Gold, respectfully.

What you said doesn't convince me that you researched enough to know that you were in fact playing a Pokemon game that you haven't played before (if you haven't played the original Pokemon Silver and Gold)... Don't you know by now that all Pokemon games are basically the same, just with different Pokemon?

Then you should have absolutely done research... Next time, make sure to do that, but don't blame Nintendo for spending $50 on a game that you did no research in.

With the prices of games now these days, it's smart to do a considerable amount of research before purchase. Before buying a game, I read at least 2 different reviews (sometimes more), I search for a demo (if it's for a console), see if my friends have it already so I can try the real game, look up the game on Wikipedia to see a description of the game in full detail, watch some gameplay clips on YouTube, and then I decide whether or not to buy the game.

You may think this ritual is tedious, but $50-$60 is a lot for a game, especially if you plan on getting at least 10 a year...

ExpertGaming:
You can't expect to find some fine details in little writing on the back of a package. No wonder why the PSPGo is killing the DS in sales.

Is that a joke?

REGARDLESS, if you don't do any sort of research before going into a store (i.e. reading a review, looking it up on the Internet, etc.), you should read EVERY detail on the box to see if it is something that you will like.

Buying a game on impulse is something that I always regret doing...

Then it's your fault for not doing any research whatsoever on a game that you had absolutely no idea about (as well as not reading the details on the box), not Nintendo.

I'm simply shocked that you didn't know that Soul Silver was a remake of Silver and Heart Gold was a remake of Gold... The covers are also almost identical on the corresponding boxes... It seemed pretty obvious to me, if you're remotely familiar with the series, "Expert" Gaming...

Um, I'm not going to read all of the fine print on the packaging.

boogieman29:

im trying to figure how the safari zone works by making pokemon appear by placing objects, and i just dont think im getting it. i read this:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Johto_Safari_Zone#Block_Upgrades

and i tried putting out the different objects (like forest objects on the mountain to make dusclops appear, or peak objects in the swamp to make bagon appear) but does that mean the pokemon im looking for should appear as soon as i put out the objects or do i have to let them sit a while to build up points or something? its the number next to what object is what i dont get, like 35 for forest objects in mountain for dusclops, and 56 for peak objects in swamp for bagon.

if someone knows wtf this is all about itd be much appreciated, because theres a lot of pokemon you can only get by doing all this.

I kind of figured it out, this is my solution:

Each block you place in an area you're on count as one value, i.e Plains Blocks, Forest Blocks, Peak Blocks, and Waterside Blocks.

So depending on what pokemon you want you will need a set amount of blocks for the value, I'll use Duskull, it needs 28 peak block values in the swamp, all you need to do is place 28 peak blocks (Small Rock, Big Rock, and/or Moss Rock) which equals to 28 block values. Once you placed them, I'm not sure if they just come immediately, I left the safari game and came back in, walk around the grass and Duskull should appear, I don't know the rate for finding it but you will eventually see it, I was able to find it.

For the ones that needs to be found with 31 or more block values, this one will be tricky, since you are only able to place 30 blocks in each area.

Each block is able to upgrade, but it depends on blocks:

Day	Block	Upgrade
10	Plains	1
20	Forest
30	Peak
40	Waterside
50	Plains	2
60	Forest
70	Peak
80	Waterside
100	Plains	3
110	Forest
120	Peak
130	Waterside

The upgrade will only work when you place a block in an area. So, if you want a Pokemon that needs over 31 block values, i.e Dusclops, which needs 35 block values, you will have to place 18+ forest blocks in the mountain area, wait for 20 days and your blocks will be doubled to 36+, thus giving you the satisfied amount.

I was able to find a Shroomish this way (and I forgot I did it), which needed 35 forest block values and 12 plain block values.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I think I read that you are able to pick up and keep the upgrades you have done with the same amount of block you have placed, so you are able to use it with other blocks, again, not sure if this is correct.

Hope this helps.

No offense but how did you not know that soulsilver was a remake of the silver version from back in the day, especially given the fact that Lugia is on the cover and the 3 Johto starters were on the back? Heck, I'm looking at the Soulsilver case right now, it even says on the back "Pokemon Soulsilver Version is the enhanced version of Pokemon Silver for the Gameboy system with brand new features and story elements." They told you right there on the box, you just didn't didn't read it or do any research about the game before you bought it apparently.

I wish Nintendo would have told us that both of these games were slightly altered remakes of Pokemon Red. I wasted $50 (that is how much it costs at my local game shop) to buy Soul Silver, yet they only gave me $5 when I traded it in. I lost $45 + tax thanks to you, Nintendo. I'll just play Stadium on the N64 again instead.
