First impressions of Soul Silver are pretty good for me, though I've yet to try the pokewalker, on the count of having an assignment to do, I have seen some of the start of the game. I only have 2 pokemone so far, yeah I know, amazing or what huh. There are some improvments with the way it works, as many players would know, to get to the menu, you have to press start, it's been that way since Red/Blue but now they have put it all on the touch screen so there's no need for the menu on start. Although this removes what they had done in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum where it was taken up by the device thing. There is also a sprint button to toggle it on/off so no need to hold down B to run, the A button function is also on the touch screen, I'm not sure if a key item will show up on there yet, I've yet to get one. The story looks like it might be the same but it's a long time since I've played the original Silver. But yes, some nice improvements. |

Ooo, a SoulSilver topic. Yay. When I first got SoulSilver, I couldn't put my DS down until the power ran dry. It's. Very. Addicting. I remember spending hours on it at a time, and always got a chunk done. I've just beaten Lance, (WITH MAH EPIC DRAGONITE,) so, I'm just about half-way through the game. I got Lugia too. Its not that great, but it was excellent bait for Lance. Which two Pokemon do you have? True, it's useful to have the menu on the touch screen, but, I really don't like it. I've been playing Pokemon since the days of Red and Blue, and it was a little shocking to not have a menu pop up when I press the X button. It saddened me. Oh well, I've gotten used to it. Yup, I like the sprint button. I'm still used to holding it down, which is what I'll tend to do even with that button on. XD Registered key items show up on the touch screen, too. You can use them via the Y button. As for the story, there's some added parts, so I won't spoil anything. Enjoy playing, it's a really fun game!

The grass starter one, can't spell it's name and I won't try, it was the one I had in the original silver, my favourite of the 3 starter ones. And that owl because I only really played it at night today and that's all that came in the grass

Chickorita? I like those, they're cute. Difficult to use in the beginning, though. The first two gyms are super effective against it. Poor thing. I chose Cyndaquil, because I love Typhlosion and Silver ( the rival) should always have a Totodile. I like sticking to the manga, haha. And Hoothoot? I don't like those, they have crappy stats. Its evolution, Noctowl, has nice Defense, though. And it can flllyyyy. Two for the price of one. |

Can't wait until i have the money to buy this. My starter Pokemon will be Cyndaquil as i love Typhlosion. I also love Lugia so i'll be using it as well as soon as i catch it. Out of the legendary dogs i think i'll use either Suicune or Raiku |

I can't wait to get this, I'mma get myself a Totodile, Feraligator is probably one of the coolest non-dragon pokemon there is. |

I'm going to get Heart Gold tomorrow so I'll give my thoughts on it soon, we should exchange friend codes Kyonko, when I've got through some of the game. Already got what I'm gonna do planned out though, I'm picking the grass starter and catching a Growlithe to use as my main pokemon, Arcanine is one of my favourites. |

Suicune is in Kanto now, for those who want to know. Well, he's there to catch, anyway. He's still in Burned Tower when you first meet him, and he's in the same locations as he was in Crystal. He's just in Kanto for his final location now. It's where you catch him. I have yet to do that, though... Fire Stones are really tedious to get in the game. You need like, 2000 DP ( or whatever) and you can earn 400 at a time. I suggest transferring for a stone, if you want one. Edited by Bouncefox, Mar 26 2010, 09:13 PM.

I bought this today and will comment later with feedback. Can't wait to get started, it looks like the best one yet from what I've seen. I get to have an Ampharos in my team for the first time in ages, he's awesome. |

Well I gotta say Heart Gold and Soul Silver have to be the best Pokemon games to date. Graphics both in-battle and out of battle have been improved since D/P/P, many new features and things to do...and they built on G/S's great story. It's very refreshing. I've just got to the Elite 4, though I'm not quite ready for them yet lol. I decided to start raising a Beldum on the way to the Elite 4 (Metagross is godly) and he's drained all my XP on the way with XP share, so now my other Pokemon are under-leveled... Managed to catch Ho-Oh first time trying though. Got him down to like 1 HP, put him to sleep with Gengar and then threw like over 9000 (forgive me) Ultra Balls but he just wouldn't go in...I had so many health recovery items he ran out of PP for his most powerful moves (He was stuck spamming Extrasensory, a psychic type move, on my Steelix), then I randomly threw a Great Ball and it caught him, lol. But yeah, really great game. I've got a few rare Pokemon bred (Dratani's, Beldum's, Cyndaquil's), so if anyone wants to trade or battle let me know.

Just got it today so i haven't played it that much yet. I'm ready to battle the first gym leader. Graphics are great especially the way the wind blowing across the screen and the leaves. I went for a walk with the pokewalker, an interesting idea but probably wont keep me interested for long. I'm loving the sense of nostalgia from when i played the original gold. I only have Cyndaquil and Pidgey in my party at the moment as they are the only ones i like so far. |

It's intresting how there is a past to it, like the radio tower has been replaced and Team Rocket have mostly disbanded, so it seems to be a little bit after the original from what I can recall. |

I'm just about to get my 4th badge now and I'm loving it. I forgot how good Gold and Silver were and playing the new versions has made me realise that Johto is my favourite region :P I have Croconaw, Pidgeotto, Flaffy and Vulpix in my team at the moment, all around lv 20-21. I like the graphics, they're pretty solid, but then that's never been a big part of the Pokemon games. I thought that the Pokemon following you around would annoy me, but it's actually a cool addition. Still got a while to go to experience everything obviously, but so far it's the best of the whole Pokemon game series for me. |

I'm playing Voltorb Flip to get some Pokemon lol, I found a helper for it which does the calculations which would require bits of paper to do by hand. Although it's not exact since it still depends on probability, it has helped get coins up. If you want to try it: http://esper.vacau.com/voltorb/index.php if not, have fun doing it yourself

lols. I'm trying to catch Ho-oh in my SoulSilver right now. I managed to do it last night, but, I found the battle so boring, I turned it off. I'm trying again now. Catching a level 70 isn't that bad.
