    The rumored names I've always seen were DuskGold and DawnSilver. Either way, I'd agree I liked the rumored names more. Regardless of what they call the games though, I'm excited. I loved the original Gold/Silver. I can't wait to see these on the DS.

    They're still better than the names "FireRed" and "LeafGreen."

    GSC was my favorite generation in Pokemon even though I started back in the RBGY days. :D  At long last, a dream come true!

    I hope they're not COMPLETELY faithful to the remake, because GSC still had its problems. I hope they leave Kanto out so they can really flesh out Johto, but I'm not counting on it; not to mention, I'd like to see more actual Johto Pokemon IN Johto.

    Most importantly... I'll finally be able to have a Dunsparce early on in my team and catch a Lugia at level 40, huzzah! My two favorite Pokemon in my grasp early in the game! I was sick of having to beat all the other games just so I could have access to them, ugh. I like training them when they're young, damn it.

    I'm totally skipping Platinum for SoulSilver. I don't care, I'm going to import the Japanese version AND buy the American. ...I did that back in the day for Gold and Silver because I was [am] a hopeless nerd.

    Fuck YES. That is all :D 

    I'd go as far as saying we DEFINITELY won't see them until 2010

    Just realized that if we're getting HeartGold and SoulSilver next year in North America, the two will coincide with their 10th anniversary of the original Gold and Silver releases! ZOMG! :p

    you never know, the names could change for an english release. hearts don't tend to sell to boys very well.

    Whats the big draw? The game has half as many pokemon as the latest ones, and the story is always the same from game to game.

    (Not trying to bash...I have played them all and have a 100% completed pokedex in Diamond)

    Nostalgia and the region's unique Pokedex? I'm sure a majority of current-gen Pokemon will be in this one, but limited in selection and not early-on like the Red and Green remakes.

    Generation 2 games are still my favorite of the whole series, looking forward to this.

    ^ Oooh, this game just got better! That was one of the reasons that I liked Yellow over Red and Blue (also because the Pokemon didn't look deformed), so it's really cool that they have it in this game, too.

    I'm just curious how they'll go about it. I cant picture meganium, typhlosion or feraligatr following the trainer around later in the game.

    It'll probably stop after the Pokemon evolves.

    i hope your entire team trails behind you chrono trigger style. please let it be so. i'd love to be snaking around with 6 pokemon in tow everywhere, especially later in the game when they're huge, and ESPECIALLY if the sizes are handled like in the myster dungeon games, because pokemon like onix would look awesome.
