Arcanine (catch a Growlithe on Route 47).
Gold/HeartGold-only

Wi-Fi. That should do the trick.

Ninetails, then. It's probably better than anything else you're going to get at this point.
Not sure I remember what that means.
Can I even acquire a Fire Stone at this point?

GTS or forum trade. Offer Pokémon for better success rates if you've seen it at least once from another trainer, or try to arrange a trade online somehow.
Now that kinda reminds me how Zorua and co should have been there since the beginning. Soooooo goooooooooooood.

You should have at least one by now. If not, you can get one from a Schoolboy on Route 36 if you have his number registered.

*Sniff* the smell of a new thread. Interesting...
Anyway, lessee what's on the track. BW2/Dex 3D Pro/Dream Radar in October, HarmoKnight *eventually*, and I think that's it in games for this gen. Next year, ooh boy.
I should really plug in Rumble Blast again, I just remembered that I liked the OST for that game. I also have the StreetPasses for it clogging my folder, so there's that.

The mere mention of Sonic 2006 is enough to invoke trauma. Am I right?

I'm feeling daring.
Who wants to avatar bet that we'll know concrete Japanese launch details for Gen VI games before the end of this thread?
I thought you didn't have a 3DS anyway?

Dream World legendaries, and Therian Forme Kamis. I'm in.

Hey, His World and the final boss theme were awesome, not it's not all bad.
Only 99% of it is.
EDIT: You're on, Exterminieren.
I have a 3DS, but i'm purchasing a DSi XL because that's the best way to play DS games. Zelda 3DS actually.

Serebii.net (do we like them here?) has posted an image from the latest Corocoro
EDIT: Image deleted! Sorry! Go to Serebii to see.
Possibly something to do with a new Pokemon game apparently. My 1st thought was Pokedex Pro, then I remembered it had already being released in Japan. Aplogies if this has already been discussed.

Well, the last thread lasted about 10 months, that's plenty of time to GF announce a new Gen game. I think it would be riskier to bet on a 3D RPG Pokemon.

PokePark U. Bet on it.

Possbly the sweet dreams fuel of the new generation again?

Could be a CGI short, based on Pikachu + Axew being front and center.
I would say it's not G6, because if they are showing anything from that, it's gonna be a new Pokemon first. A silhouette, at that.

Gen 6 = no new Pokemon, real time combat

I'd probably look like a total silly guy on the bus, though.

Now includes a swirly eyes animation when they faint.
*when they win* GREAT JOB OUT THERE, GENERIC BIRD
*when they faint* YOU DID YOUR BEST, GENERIC BIRD
You must say these after every battle, or their friendship will drop harder than Skrillex.

Fuck you.
It's the start of a new journey, so it's time to pick your new partner!
I usually always go for the Grass type.
Only exception was in Gen III and in Platinum. Gen III I wasn't too big on Sceptile's design and wanted Cacturne, so I opted to Torchic instead. Platinum I thought Piplup was the coolest*, but I was going to go with Turtwig until I found out about Gibile being available so early in the game. Seeing as I didn't want 2 4x Ice weak on my team at that point, I decided to go for Chimchar...with Vileplume as my Grass type.
*I never pick the Water starter because I always use Gyarados as my Water type, every game.

Always Fire first for me, then Water, then Grass.
(although I think the very first time I played, I chose Squirtle.)

I just pick whatever starter I like best.
I would choose Scraggy if I could, though

That's odd, because I remember Kanto having Viridian Forest, Pokémon Mansion, Power Plant, Seafoam Islands and Cerulean Cave as exporable areas...

Oh joy, the Seafoam Islands!
Silver removed the worst parts of Kanto.
Silver is the worst part of Pokémon. At least Gold tries to compensate for its suckiness by giving you early access to Growlithe, Silver has no such courtesy.
Yet it had everything else, including Gym Leaders. It didn't have to have every single detail of Kanto, it had a good majority of it.
it's a lot smaller than other regions and moves a lot quicker. the fact that the Champion is 20 levels lower than any other Champion shows part of that.

G/S eviscerated Kanto and left it as a husk for the most part, on top of this point is that Johto is pretty barebones by itself, a region fluffed out with many caves, half of which are mercifully optional at least.
Johto also doesn't handle its break away from linearity very well, it leads to some very uneven late game levelling.
Simply put, the less time spent cramming a half assed Kanto into the game the more time could've been spent making Johto itself a better region, I swear half of its loved legacy is the fact that Kanto was there as well, if anything that tells me that Kanto is awesome and that Johto for the most part leeches off from it.

Looking at that Johto map i'm reminded that route 30 and 31 must be one of the most bland stretches of anything in Pokemon history.

That's not Hoenn.
