You know for the next pokemon game after white and black they should combine all the games and allow you to start in which region you'd like and go from there...

Then you can unlock more regions down the road.. >.>

So not going to happen :p,

Its bad enough they split each release into 2 games that both miss some pokemon, and then possibly a third special release.

I doubt they would ever stick the areas together when they can just repackage old ones and get more money.

^ they have started to make the connections though :p

The only reason there's certain events in HGSS is for the DSi users who can't migrate from Gen III. Hence why the Hoenn/Kanto starters can be obtained and the Hoenn/Kanto legendaries can also be obtained.

The main unobtainables are the starters/legendaries from DPPt, which can easily be traded.

Those ruins it connects (even though it's one place) sinnoh and johto

Are you talking about the Sinjoh Ruins?

It doesn't connect Sinnoh and Johto at all considering you have to "warp" there, and it was built by people form Johto and Sinnoh.

And as it has already been revealed, Pokemon regions are all based on real locations from Japan, so if this is in fact where they are all placed in relation to each other on a map of Japan, then Sinnoh and Johto are pretty far away from each other.

I want to say that's sad, but its kinda nerdily cool.

Anyone have a Cyndaquil and a Chimchar for trade? I have bulbasaurs, squirtles, charmanders, mudkipz (lol), totodiles, turtwigs, chikoritas or requests.

2665 4786 2647 = friend code.

Also hit me up for other trades.

I've PM'd you. :D

Well, most of my friends are out of college and are spending their free time playing HG/SS now, lol... And of course, they're asking to battle, trade, etc. But I stopped playing in March. So I played last night for the first time in a while and tried to level up some of my guys. Anyway, I have a question. If 4 of us add each other's friend codes, is it possible to have a doubles battle with all 4 of us?

I think that Multi Battles are local only, not sure though. But if you're using local you don't need friend codes, that's only required for WiFi.

Can anyone trade me a Kecleon in pokemon soul silver? Plzzz i cant get it on the pokewalker, bc it messed up and now I'm unable to get newer levels :( :cry:

Do you have a DS Lite? If so grab yourself a copy of R/S/E and catch one there, then migrate it via Pal Park.

  • 2 weeks later...

You get them for the same price as peanuts nowadays on eBay anyway..

Well in the UK Emerald is around ?11.99 new, DS Lites are around ?50. Reasonable. Plus in RSE Kecleons are EVERYWHERE, you find plenty of them by interacting, they're part of the story and prevent you from entering the 6th Gym.

Does anyone still play this? I just recently got into it after a long break from Pokemon games. The last one I completed was Sapphire for the GBA. And I didn't like it as much as Gold for the GBC. When I first heard about an enhanced remake of Gold and Silver for the DS, I was excited. Unfortunately, I didn't have a DS of my own and I was busy playing a bunch of other games.

So far, I'm loving every bit of it. I just beat the third gym leader in the Johto region and I'm about to battle Sudowoodo at Route 36.

I actually still have to start one of them... if you want you can battle me on it :p but your guaranteed to get a schooling :p (I have my pokemon from sapphire all the way up to SS/HG on dare :p )

I'm not currently playing HeartGold it as I've left my DS back home, and I'm living away from home. I did play it last summer and a little over Christmas though. I've beaten all the gym leaders in Johto and Kanto, but I haven't beaten Red. I'm in the long process of training my Pok?mon so I can take him on. Like other Pok?mon games, I've spent too much time training my starter Pok?mon (in this case it's Typhlosion, the same as when I played Silver on the GBC) and not enough time training others and building a strong, well-rounded team.

I've really enjoyed playing the same, but it's not surprising as I loved playing Silver.

You should start playing as soon as possible. My brothers bought HeartGold and SoulSilver the same week it was released and I only played it a handful of times. Now that I started playing it recently, I really felt like I missed out. Thankfully though, only Black and White have been released after HG and SS. I still have time to fully enjoy the games before the release of Black and White 2.

As for schooling me, you're definitely right. I have been out of the game for so long that some things feel new to me. If there was a way to transfer my Pokemon from Gold, then I'd most likely be the one schooling you. :D

I'm taking my time with HeartGold. I remember making the same mistake on my first play-through of Gold. I think I faced Red at least ten times before I beat him. I remember beating the Elite Four and Red over and over again to reach level 100. The process of getting just one Pokemon to level 100 was relentlessly tedious. Still, it was worth it in the end when I battled my friends at school.

Doubt it :p I have a natural level 100 charazard :p (remember traded/transfered pokemon get a special exp boost too :p)

A huge boost, too. I received a Mewtwo before my Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and I was really surprised at the exp difference between a traded and non-traded pokemon. While playing HeartGold, I tried to remember what Gold even looked like on the Gameboy Colour. So... I found my old lime green GBC and played Gold. For some reason, my original save file became corrupted and the cartridge can't keep a save file. In other words, I always have to start a new game if I turn it off. The difference between the two though are immense. I'm shocked that I was able to play it without a back light. The only thing Gold had over HeartGold was the load times for everything. It was near-instantaneous compared to the time it took to enter a pokemon centre in HeartGold.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
