The NA release date for HeartGold and SoulSilver is March 14, 2010, apparently: [link]

I'm trying very hard to contain my excitement right now. I was thinking of waiting until my birthday to get the game (in hopes that it'd be a b-day gift) but I don't think I can wait that long so screw it.

Yet another reason for me to head to GameStop this weekend. Must. Pre-order.

Now, the big question for me is, HeartGold or SoulSilver? I had the Gold version originally, so do I stick to it?

Come back to me when they have the EU release date.

Probably something like September. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well the "date" they have for the EU release is generically set for spring. That's better than nothin'. :V

I'm with you AM, just like how I said when AC II came out, I VERY excited about this game. I'm getting SS. I haven't been this excited ever since Vol 1// Rebirth came out. ( I said the same thing when AC II came out).

I know a certain someone who will be far more than just happy and excited about this.

As of me, i'm very happy and excited too, but well, i don't have a DS and i don't think i'll get one by March next year...but still >3>

SOUL SILVER FOR THE WIN!!!

But here's the thing, I have a Con that weekend... So... The whole con is going to be fill with nothing but FFXIII/Pokemon. And Billy Dee.

Schedule: Work/FFXIII X4 Work, Get Pokemon, everyboyd going to MegaCon, and driving to Orlando while trying to play Pokemon.

Yeah, it's been awhile since I've been this excited for a video game. Not since... Redemption? And boy, what a letdown that ended up being. >>

But anyway, I'm totally getting HeartGold. I gotta! I loooove Ho-oh and I had Gold back in the day, so... yeah.

I guess I'm the only one who isn't excited about these two games... the last Pokemon game I liked was Sapphire. I couldn't even bear myself to finish Diamond. <_<

If I were ever to get one of these, it'd definitely be Soul Silver. But I'm not really looking forward to it... I have other things to look forward to, such as Rune Factory 3.

High-five, my favorite gen is the third one and Pearl was really painful to play through, never finished it.

I have tried HG on emulators however, and it felt almost exactly like the old games.

Are they still as slow-paced as Diamond and Pearl were? I hope not...

Jeez, way to dumb down our excitement >>

What? She's just asking a question. Shouldn't affect you at all.

I didn't notice if HG was particularly slow-paced. Didn't find Pearl slow-paced either, just incredibly dull.

Definitely looking forward to the release of these two...dunno which one i would get tho :\. I'm definitely more of a 1st-3rd gen pokemon fan though...everything else after that progressively got worse in my opinion in certain ways. Of course, that didn't stop it from still being a fun game!

What I meant more than anything is that it takes way too long for the game to respond to input... then again, I'm used to the relatively fast-paced gameplay in Ruby and Sapphire, and I have a severe lack of patience to the point where small things like that irk me. XD

Simply bad*** I can't wait for this game. I was excited when fire red was remade on the gba. I'm currently playing that right now. Gold was mine back in the day as was the original red. I only cared about red and gold. So seeing gold being remade is like a dream come true! I can't wait to have a PWNAGELAX(Snorlax) following me around! *jumps up and down in giddy excitement.*

Azalan, you just won the whole internet for the year LOLOL

Oh and its funny you mention FireRed, I'm currently playing the ROM of FireRed on my computer :p

. . . I can see it now. Kuukai in the underground. . . He's running. . . And it seems he is running. . . FROM HIS AWESOME SNORLAX!!!

This is because the only way to get a Snorlax to follow you on the world map is by convincing it you're delicious. Snorlax is naturally RIPPED AS HELL, so exercise isn't really his thing...
