@Ninfan Well, that's kinda debatable, since it depends on what you're looking for, as @AlohaPizzaJack already noted:

@ThanosReXXX Wow, Earthbound loose costs $199 there. Nope.

But in general, I certainly agree, and I've bought stuff from them several times, and even with the overseas p&p, the overall prices were still very competitive.

On a side note: you actually managed to make me Google for an Australian Lukie Games, because I never just assume that I have all the answers, so I had to make sure that what I said was correct...

Pokemon is a fun example of how the "digital distribution = lower physical prices" argument isn't always correct.
Tax refund money came, I prepaid some future bills, now I can swing that controller. Gotta do something nice for myself after being ugh responsible.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, it is. Maybe the market is different in Japan. I know Pokemon Stadium 2 is very expensive as well, same price range as SoulSilver, but you can get an imported Japanese copy for as low as €5. Too bad it's a hassle to get NTSC and Japanese N64 games working on a PAL N64.

@Octane @Heavyarms55 Most of the pokemon DS games are super expensive, The cheapest ones I can find would probably be the older ones such as Crystal, Blue, Red, so on, on the 3DS. I don't know what happened but I got Soulsilver for 5$ with the pokewalker a few years ago, anyway, the other games like Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, They are mostly all overpriced.

@Daloblast I only own a Japanese copy of HeartGold; but I can't read Japanese. I know the game by heart, so it isn't a problem, but I should've bought an English copy a couple of years ago when they were still cheap...

I managed to get one version of most of the DS Pokémon games right a year or 2 into the life of the 3DS, when stores were still selling them. In fact I think the only one I don't own is Platinum, although I do own Diamond. It's a shame how expensive they've become, especially since they were so easy to find just 5 years ago.

@NEStalgia Well, I’m referring to the old large ones. Remember the housing that looks like a cake container? 😂 at least now they’re tiny and don’t look like a jukebox

@Morpheel Yeah, especially now, except for maybe S/M and OR/AS at around $40 but the rest.... way to overpriced.
@Octane I have an English version of Soulsilver, with the pokewalker, I'm not sure I would be able to go through a Japenese version of the games, even though I have played it a lot, I think I will go check how long I've played it right now...

@Daloblast I've played Gold quite a lot back in the day, and the remake didn't really change a lot. The only issue was when Pokemon learned new moves; it was a guessing game. But you can see the type, power, PP and accuracy, so it's easy to guess what move it is. When it's a status move and there's no power, yeah, those were difficult

Octane

Daloblast

@Octane Yeah, you could get way strategic with status move, I usually just chose the most powerful attacking moves and never ever use the status moves, You could be smart with it, but it just took to long to think of a strategy, 😃 and apparently I played Soulsilver for 104 hours, I did not know I played it that much.

@Undead_terror AUGH! You scurred me!

Also... SN30 Pro, N30, or both? Would I find using the SN30 Pro preferable than my actual Pro Controller at all? I've always been an asymmetrical-stick fan, and only have at most 1 year of dual shock layout playing.

I like to play my NES Online games, so I want at least one of these. Help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally turned off the wishywashybanjo mode and ordered the N30 Pro that looks like an NES controller. Paid for next day shipping so it should arrive tomorrow.

@Octane Man, I am so glad I still have my original copies of all the DS Pokemon games from when they were new. HG will always have a special place in my heart as the first game I completed the National Pokedex in, and have subseqently completed it in every generation since - with the only exceptions of Marshadow and Zerora or whatever those last 2 Gen 7 mythical Pokemon are.

I still own at least one of the two initial Pokemon releases of each Gen as well as either 1. The third game or 2. One of the sequels or remakes. I have Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal (no longer saves... 😥 ), Ruby, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, Platinum, White, Black 2, SoulSilver, Y, Omega Ruby, Sun, and Ultra Sun. I'm hoping to grab Let's Go Eevee at some point.

Currently playing: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)
