Hey fellow pokemaniacs, say what you will about Gamestop, but I noticed today they are officially taking pre-orders for these two games. The tentative date is April 1. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a joke...

for what it's worth, I agree. But I'm still stoked!

Why should this make me hate GameStop any less than I already do?
I'm in for the games, just won't be doing the pre-order BS at GameStop (or anywhere else, frankly).

I'm pretty sure the example was just used as a basis for release date speculation...
Last I heard, a few days ago, all we got was 'Spring 2010'. I'd guess that date could be correct or just an educated guess. April 1st being a Tuesday, is that the NA release day? In the UK it's usually a Friday, but sometimes Tuesdays for 'big' games.

Oh, man! You're so amazingly edgy! You don't do the "BS" pre-order thing at GameStop, even though pre-ordering isn't harmful in any way, and you usually get free junk from it to boot.
You're so alt-cool!
Preordering is awesome, because you do often more times than not get free stuff with it.
Either way, I'm excited to play this next month.

Next month? Que?
Are you shisting the system and playing the Japanese version and just reading it with your black magic knowledge of the language?
Somewhat. It's a kid's game, so it's not hard to read.

I beat both of the original Gold/Silver games in Japanese on emulator before they were released in the U.S. (and by beat I mean defeated Red - not caught all 251). It's not that tough... a little trial and error and maybe an FAQ if you get uber stuck.

I might actually get these. I liked G/S the most, and I've been edging for a reason to turn on my DS for something besides Chrono Trigger.
So I got Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Well, it's what you'd expect from a remake. Gold and Silver were great games, though, so it's incredibly nostalgic. It's also not gay with the ridiculous Pokemon, so that's a nice breath of fresh air.

I dunno. I want to get them, because this was my favorite gen of pokemanz, but I was kind of nonplussed with Leaf Green and Fire Red. I hear there's three continents to explore this time, along with a starter poke'mon for each new continent. Any truth to that rumor?
I'm not sure. It starts up with the usual homo professor being like, "WELCOME TO POKAYMAN LAND!" Then you go to his house and say "GIMME A POKEMON!" Then you choose between the three usual ones. It could be the kind of thing where you have to beat the game first. I dunno.

Probably not. I want my damn Squirtle and those bastards give me stupid ass sucky crape'mon like totodile. LAME.

^^ hehe If you want a squirtle (or any other non Jhoto starter for that matter) I'll give you one. just let me know ;) still got all my games
I know this is probably a most-asked (and partially dumb) question, but...
Can you EVEN catch 'em all?

Yeah. It's kind of the whole point. Unless you mean "catch" literally, then no. You have to trade, evolve, and breed for that.
EDIT: And pokemon like Mew that you need to go to special events to get. Hard, but still possible.
Oh, okay. It's been kinda bugging me since the beginning.
Now I just wonder who's ever done it before.

It hasn't been the point since the second generation. There are way too many Pokemon for that now. Note how the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" slogan is no longer featured on the newer games' box art. I don't think you even get any reward for it other than a gold star on your trainer card or some sh*t.

You'd be giddy as **** about that gold star, you know it.

I'm all about the e-peen. The gold star is just the frosting. On the e-peen.

No talk about frosted dicks please, e-peen or not.

You're still sensitive about... the last time frosted dicks came in to play, aren't you?

Haha, can't wait for these games so I can finally experience 2nd gen. Although I find it silly that they're including all the GBA legends plus giving you yet ANOTHER chance at the birds. Anyway, I'll happily give anyone any starter from any gen if they give me a level 100 wifi battle so I can check stats when I need to. I'm in the middle of trying to make a perfect HP/Def/Sp. Def Vaporeon and I'll have some Eevees to check soon. Though if anyone has got a stone edge TM or Petaya berry ft, I'll make good offers.
