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)

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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
