Oh god yeah, I’ve been playing through the Pokémon games with my girlfriend (she’s the one who got me back into it), and she said SoulSilver (which she has a copy of) is one of her favorites, and i checked amazon and found I could get a copy of HeartGold for roughly $300, and was like yeah no.

Pretty much. The cheapest I've found it was like $45 used without a case & pokewalker. I should have pulled the trigger on it, but I can't justify buying a game at $45+ unless I know that I'm going to start playing it immediately. And I'm not. I have a ton of other games I could play. And like half a dozen projects to work on instead of playing a game.

But I loved Pokemon Silver.

Absolutely. And the Persona subseries is the goth older sister's soap opera. I love it.

Homie if you have ant kind of handheld that can emulate a gba you should play Emerald. A PSP a vitamin a 3ds that you've jailbroken anything

Failing that the 3ds remakes of gen 3 are good but really you should play Emerald

Hm. I'll look into my options.

I was on a big pokemon kick a couple years back, replaying through yellow and silver and having a great old time. I got a bit excited and bought copies of the other gens, then played into gen 3 for a couple hours and lost all interest. I dunno, I think it changed just enough that I don't dig it anymore. The minigames, the more talking, the different art direction. I don't think it's just nostalgia that makes me enjoy those old ones...

Where do you go for buying used games? Surely Amazon and GameStop can't be the best option. I guess eBay, but there has to be something besides those three nowadays.

Amazon can be bullshit but for something as common as Pokemon you can probably get really decent prices.

I've never watched Girls or paid attention to whatever Lena Dunham does besides that, so this series of posts make it almost sound like she's the devil incarnate.

Now, please don't explain why you dislike her or think she's unsuitable for this. In this case I enjoy my ignorance, it's quite amusing (seriously, I'm not being sarcastic here).

I actually kinda liked what I saw of Girls, but she is very much White Feminism personified. It's another case of white people telling PoC stories, are we supposed to believe there's literally no one of color capable of telling this story?

Just the cartridge is anywhere from $45-$65. With Case and manual, you're looking at at least $100. It can go up to $300 if it has the Walker thing and box.

Lmao, when I sold mine to Gamestop they wouldn't even take the pokewalker. I bet they feel dumb now.

Every couple years I get the Pokemon urge and I just recently went out and bought a used copy of Pokemon X. Never played X/Y and it's pretty fun but omg the camera is terrible.

I just came here to follow up on a previous post about Inside No 9. It's by two of the men behind the League of Gentlemen, if that's familiar to any of you. It combines the same humour, darkness, horror, comedy, absurdity and grotesquerie that LOG did, but not to quite the same degree. Each episode is a self-contained story, and they vary quite a lot in tone, from comedy, to horror, to absurdity, and pathos. I don't think any are bad, a lot are good, and some are really excellent. I think a lot of people here would really enjoy and appreciate them.

THPS had to have issues with the soundtrack rights. And THPS2 was designed with analog sticks in mind, if I recall correctly.

It didn't even occur to me that this might be why there's no decent digital re-release. I know that THPS HD came out for PS3 but it was EXTEREMLY barebones.

For some reason X/Y didn't grab me and I'd say they're my last favorite of the games outside of Gen 1.

Ultra Moon however is gaming nirvana, holy poo poo it's good and filled with great old mons in addition to cool new ones and the camera is legit amazing.
