Mister ...

Impossible.

Portal 2 takes place 100 years after the first. Chances are ep3 is gonna start right where 2 left off, just like 2 did for 1.

In that case.

There is no ep3, and instead becomes Half-Life 3: Ep1

WHO ELSE IS EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THE NEW POKEMON GAME?

But me being a tard I decided to have it shipped to my house instead of just picking it up from the local gamestop, so I won't get to play until Tuesday T__T

Now 20% Cooler

They're remaking Gold and Silver, a la Firered and Leafgreen, which I'm very excited about. I'm also excited for the Jirachi being given away to commemorate the event, although it will sit unused for all eternity.

1. Put starter pokemon into Pokewalker
2. Attach pokewalker to pants
3. Put this song on repeat while listening to your ipod:

4. Walk around town
5. Feel like a GOD

The Pokewalker is probably going to be my favorite part about the new game. I've gone through 3 Pocket Pikachu's in my life (Two I lost, One got stolen) and they were reaaaallly fun. It was like a tamagatchi (sp) but like 4x better.

the pokewalker isn't similar to a tamagotchi or pocket pikachu though - it's not a virtual pet. iirc it just gives your pokes experience from you walking, and you can also play a few minigames on it. still, i'm excited.

definitely buying soulsilver on sunday and playing it all next week. spring break ftw.

Pro-mode: Buy a Pocket Pikachu off of Ebay and have it attached to your pants next to the Pokewalker.

I heard Pokemon can always get no more than 1 level per walk, no matter how much you walk. Sucks :| I was planning on using it to level my party in Platinum (still haven't beaten the E4).

That is the lamest form of level grinding I've ever heard.

I've got HeartGold coming in the mail, but it says it won't be here until about Wednesday unless I get lucky and they ship it earlier or something. Which is fine with me, since I have plenty of other games I'm playing right now to keep my interest until then. But once that comes, I'm probably going to play it pretty much exclusively.

Trying something new this time though: Rather than go with the standard "build a team as you go" I've got a team already laid out and once I get to the Daycare I'm sending over the parents for three of them so I can breed and start them all at lvl 1. (And get them Egg Moves in the process.) The other three I'll have before I get there.

But yeah, if you can only get 1 lvl at a time with the PokeWalker, it's not as useful as they made it out to be in the long run as far as leveling goes, especially because I'm pretty sure you can only send over one Pokemon at a time. At higher levels (75+), sure, but otherwise it's probably quicker to simply do it in-game.

there's no real reason to raise your pokes higher then level 60 or so now that you can just equalize pokes out to 50 or 100 in battles, right? so if the 1 level thing is true, then yeah that's sort of lame since it's not even useful for higher levels. but hey, it's a free pack-in with the game, so i'm not complaining.

definitely not planning anything out my first time through. it makes me more willing to try pokes i normally wouldn't use.

I had planned to do something similar, but then remembered how LF&FR wouldn't allow you to trade with RSE until you had done some side quest.

I've heard with HG/SS that apparently you can do it pretty much right off the bat. (Once you get the Pokedex) Back when these came out in Japan I was following Serebii's information on the games nearly every day, and after some searching of their archived news I found that they discovered that their first day of coverage.

So yeah, unless that's been changed, I'm using my starter (Totodile), catching one, hatching the Togepi you get, and then breeding the other three once I get to Goldenrod in order to make my team. All six of them are ones that I've used to some extent, but that was mostly back in the second generation, (Other than the Croconaw you get from Colosseum) so it's been a LONG time since any of these have seen the spotlight for me, which was part of my plan. And for the most part, they're all from the second generation anyway, or else found late in the game, so I'm not completely throwing out the limitations that the game offers you in terms of which Pokemon you have available. (Only real exception to this is when I try to evolve my Togepi into a Togekiss. Not sure how I'm going to deal with that yet, or if the game will even let me do that until after the Elite Four and/or the National Dex.)

As far as the Pokewalker, I still like to level up my pokemon as high as I can regardless of when they learn their last move, but you do have a point there Ark. Once you get them the moves they want, as long as they're above 50th level it doesn't matter as much as it used to what level they actually are in the end.

Me and Andrew are going to trade the starters and restart our games so we both have all 3 starter pokemans :D

Having all three starters is for pussies. That's why Yellow sucks, you have FOUR starters, all handed to you.

Implying that Pikachu is considered a starter pokemon when you can catch as many as you want in any game.

IIRC, starter Pikachu in Yellow is quite different form any wild one.

Is he different because he can't evolve?

Honestly I'd prefer a wild pikachu over the starter pikachu if it wasn't for the fact that your starting pikachu follows you around.

First thing I'm going to do after playing HG a bit is I'm going to get a Pikachu and have him/her follow me around and pretend I'm still playing Yellow version.

For all those who enjoyed Shadow Complex, I found this earier. I thought it was a great idea, and could even be stolen for m2k2. Razz

That's actually a pretty cool idea. I've seen similar things done before on youtube videos and such, but not for a standard map like that.

And man, I need to play that game again one of these days. Haven't played it since it came out last year.
