Damn...you nerds are making me want to play pokemon again.

Maybe i'll pick up this platinum doodad.

On second thought: is this a remake or an entirely new game? Is it worth it to buy this if I already have Pearl?

Remake. It is to Pearl and Diamond as Yellow as to red and blue, crystal to gold/silver, emerald to sapphire/ruby.

Probably not worth picking up unless you really feel like starting over but don't want to delete your pearl game, or you just really want some of the new pokemon available in it (like the legendary birds from Red/Blue).

I will probably get it, but I'm a pokemon dork. :\

Maybe I'll just play ruby or something and trade over some mons to my Pearl game.

Does anybody have the original starter Pokemon on their games (Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur)?

Not yet, but I will.

In order to get the Red/Blue starters you have to trade them from FireRed and LeafGreen to Pearl/Diamond.

The only catch is you have to have the National Dex in Pearl/Diamond in order to get pokemon from the GBA games.

The only starters that are really a pain to get are the Gold/Silver ones. I think they can be unlocked on one of the GCN coliseum games, and if you get the National Dex in Emerald, you get to pick one as a reward.

just to show how much I grinded during that friggin Eterna Forest

My team at the end
Staravia LVL 20
Prinplup 22
Budew 18
Kadabra 18
Machop 19
Luxio 20

So I made my first trip down to the Underground. Never knew that existed. Dug up some spheres and stuff, and now the old man is sending me back down to plant them.

What do they grow into?

Three Dog, my mons would waste you if we battled right now.

I have the original 3. I can make babies of them for you, or trade you mine and let you make the eggs. We can pokemon friend code it sometime. I also have Darkrai, Arceus and Shaymin. Uhm at least the Shaymin was acquired legally. Nintendo still hasn't presented a way to get the items needed for Darkrai and Arceus, but thanks to action replay you can acquire the items and get the legitimate versions. Anyway you can't have any of those mons I just listed but if you want them for your dex we can trade and trade back.
