Gamervision says, "I consider myself a fan of the Pokémon franchise, but this doesn't mean the same to me as it does to others. I have friends who have dedicated hundreds of hours over the last decade or so to catching them all in the handheld role-playing games, whereas to me, Pokémon fandom has only ever meant watching the television show at 10:00 every Saturday morning while I was in high school. Sure, I played Pokémon Stadium on the Nintendo 64, but not having had a Game Boy in my youth, I really missed out on the challenge and strategy of catching your own elite team of pocket monsters. With there now being nearly five hundred Pokémon in the fourth generation of the franchise, I've felt a bit overwhelmed by the more recent Pokémon games. Earlier this week, I got a look at the forthcoming remakes of 1999 Game Boy Color titles Gold and Silver, now called HeartGold and SoulSilver. It quickly became clear to me that there is no better time to start catching them all."
Brandon of Mammoth Gamers recently purchased a used copy of Pokémon SoulSilver. Before he started his journey through the second generation, he came across another player's file and had an unexpected problem hit him.
Indeed especially when it is someone else's save files on a cartridge that they have sold on.
This won’t be an issue on Switch when you can have one save file per account, meaning players can finally abuse the trading system
You really shouldn't give a shit about another gamer's save file on a used game you purchased... While its fun to walk in another's shoes for a bit you shouldn't feel guilty about erasing the save file. I mean if they cared about the time invested and keeping the save file i'm sure they would not have sold the game for pennies on the dollar to a used game store. Please wipe the save and start your own adventure. Game on!
I bought a used Final Fantasy Tactics for the Gameboy Advance and it has a save file of about 300 hours in it.
I feel guilty about deleting that file, luckily I can start my own separate one. I am hoping once I do and beat the game and compare my party to the previous player's and see what we did differently.
"Andrew and I finally shed our thoughts on the Pokemon Let’s Go reveal. From the game’s new features to what we want to see the Pokemon title. Will motion controls be forced? How will battles work? So many questions! Let’s jump into this drunken Pokemon discussion." -- Nintendo Enthusiast
NL:
With each new generation of Pokémon, the overall number of Pokémon in the National Dex has climbed far beyond the original 151. Obviously, Pokémon has been spread over multiple generations of hardware, and this has further made it more difficult to "catch 'em all". On the Game Boy Advance, Game Freak began a method of alleviating this somewhat with remakes of the first generation games, giving gamers a more streamlined method of collecting the original Pokémon. This was continued on the DS with remakes of the second generation of games, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Because if you play it like I do and are constantly adding newly caught Pokemon to your lineup it takes an eternity? Thank goodness for EXP share in the later games haha
I am so gonna catch em all, and that Pokewalker is never leaving my side.
I haven't been this excited about a Pokemon game in years.
The only thing that could get me more pumped would be a Pokemon MMO on the Wii, or a new Pokemon Snap on the Wii.
