Miltank for the win!

i needa catch a ferret.

Well how about that. I guess great minds think alike. ;p

I gots mah Pichu!
I actually got it Friday, but I forgot to post about it.

Good for you...

_{I have mine too.}

That Pichu is just OK for me, won't be doing much with it. I do like it's coloring though.

I haven't done much breeding, but if I match this one up with another Pichu what are the chances their offspring will be special in coloring too? Or does it not work that way?

well, there are 3 big no-noes about this pichu:
1)pichu cant breed.
2)evolving it will result in a common shinny pikachu
3)shinniness is not hereditary

@abgar
I thought you couldn't evolve the PC Pichu.
Maybe I'm thinking of the SE Pichu.

Why did they call it "Pikachu-colored" if it is just a shiny pichu?

Yes, The SE Pichu can't evolve. I believe that the PC Pichu comes with an everstone, though, so it won't accidentally evolve.

nintendo wanted to get our attention making a random name?

YEAH! I just caught my first shiny pokemon EVER!!! It's a Chinchau

This greatly increases my hype for HG. I wanted a chinchau on my team anyway, so you can bet this one's gonna have a prime spot on my team

Gotcha, thanks. :]

I just totally gave in, lol. I originally just pre-ordered SoulSilver for myself, but now my girlfriend is thinking HeartGold sounds "cute" as she put it. So I ended up pre-ordering both copies, plus the strategy guide (I love glancing through the pokedex, since I probably won't have time to catch them all, lol)...Anyways...so excited for March!

I just pre-ordered HeartGold, man I can't wait! everytime I look at my Ho-Oh figure in my room I get excited!

Hey guys, Why are you getting the version you are? A few people said they're getting a specific version because they had it when they were a kid, but some others didn't give reasons.

I'm getting Heart Gold because I think it will be the less popular one. I also got Pearl for the same reason. Everyone had Diamond, and I felt original for having Pearl. Luckily for me, it just so happens that HG has better pokemon (for me) then SS.

Meowth and nostalgia make SoulSilver a winner, though it would be even better if it had kiogre instead of groundon..
besides, i always get the "blue" version first, i got blue (twice actually, my brother got red and i later obtained yellow), i got silver (my brother got gold and later obtained crystal <3) (i ended up playing both red and gold after my brother became "too big" to play with pokemon, but lost them), i got saphire (but my dad somehow managed to make it dissapear, i later got ruby used and emerald, both of them i still have) i also got firered (beacuse green is even worse than red, and charizard is much more pleasing to the eye than venusaur), lastly i got diamond (my only 4th gen game so far)...

I'm getting SS because I want to. I also like Lugia.

Btw, you can get both of the version mascots in both games.

EDIT: Famitsu gave it a 37 out of 40!!! Yay.

I decided to get both that way if I get bored I can play through it again without deleting my hard work. Also so I get my mom to try it

I can't wait!

Im getting HG, I like Lugia more than Ho-Oh but I love Phanphy too much.
