I'm gonna get both. Gonna get tepig, and then I'm not sure for the other one

SamIAmNot · 13-02-2011 11:34am

Well it makes sense with the game being released so close to the launch of the 3DS.

Tepig is the bset choice out of the starters followed by Osawott

cloud493 · 13-02-2011 11:41am

I fancy a grass type though. Nit sure about snivy.

SamIAmNot · 13-02-2011 12:28pm

Well what I've done a few times is, start up the game and get a friend to send you over an egg with a pokemon you want to be your starter in it. Hatch it and then use it for the duration of all the gyms and league. This way it has your ID and will obey you, and you don't get caught by using a traded pokemon as such if you get me.

Comes out precisely a week after my birthday

I'm gonna get both, but only start one, so I can play the other on the 3DS for the supposed 3D effects

The pokémon DSi's are €199 in game or €119 if you trade in your old DSi.

marko93 · 21-02-2011 7:31pm

Pre-ordered White! LIKE A BOSS. I havent even looked through the pokemons yet. All i know, totally new ones. New adventure. Sounds like a failed Leaving Cert to me.

TrustedApple · 21-02-2011 9:02pm

Have been looking at getting it but I have no ds onto the 3DS comes out instill haveint played the pokemon gold remake but I picked it up last night on eBay for 13.50 a deal and a 1/2

But have no idea I it has a box or poke thing I have to wait and see what comes in the post

But pokemon black is only 28 euro on thehut and is saying buy me badly

cloud493 · 21-02-2011 11:09pm

35 euro each in HMV, sound for me. And I got a new DSI on the weekend, do me for black and white till the 3DS comes out.

Buzzthebatgirl · 22-02-2011 11:30am

The online Sterling prices range from £25.85-£34.89 (about €29-€40.47). All the instore prices seem to be around the £35 mark

cloud493 · 22-02-2011 1:01pm

€40 in gamestop for some reason.

The reason is that Gamestop suck

even argos is 37.

I'm going with play.com i think it was like €32. It's probably even cheaper again on amazon.

cloud493 · 22-02-2011 4:25pm

35 is great for me. I can go get them before school, round 70 euro.

TrustedApple · 23-02-2011 12:56pm

Find out that the copy I won of gold on eBay was a copy so I picked up pokemon black for 25.47 on amazon which is about 30 euros but can't play it to the 25th

Anyway it's post to be 49 euros is gamestop you must be nuts to pay that

cloud493 · 23-02-2011 3:07pm

€50? Seriously, how do they get away with that?

Banjo · 23-02-2011 4:09pm

because people pay it rather than shopping elsewhere.
They probably charge more for the new stuff and offset the higher price by offering attractive trade-in returns, gets you in the door and you put your seemingly high credit to work on a higher retail price meaning your net gain is no higher than if you went elsewhere

cloud493 · 23-02-2011 4:30pm

But HMV is usually close, has it for €15 cheaper, and similar trade jn offers. Makes no sense to me.

Teferi · 23-02-2011 4:32pm

Pokemon hGold/sSilver is still around €35 in Game. That's a second hand one too. Ridiculous stuff.

£26.12, score.

Pity their exchange rate is shíte (£1 = €1.22, compared to current market rate of €1.18), but still €32.05 delivered is pretty sweet!

Did I mention I hated the UK...?

Lucky, lucky, people.

Did I mention you have a spy on the UK who has spare room?

r0cks0l1dd · 24-02-2011 1:54pm

8 more days left!! The friend code thread is a bit dead at the moment so if you want to battle me (in game pokemon or pokesavd pokemon I don't care) PM me and I'll PM you my friend code when the game comes out.

Angron · 24-02-2011 3:41pm

Soooo close! Oh they thrill Pokémon can still incite in me.

Rocket Butch · 24-02-2011 10:07pm

I wonder will there be overnight queueing to meet Sugimori.

SEVEN DAYS!!!!

Wish they announced the London thing sooner, with a bit more notice I'd have loved to have gone over for it.

Atavan-Halen · 25-02-2011 11:51am

I'm actually getting really excited now

Getting paid at the weekend and all so will be straight down to game on the 4th to get the DSi bundle. Was going to wait and get a 3DS instead but I can wait until my birthday in May to get that

You can still get over for about €80 in flights to Gatwick (fly out Thursday, back Tuesday it's the cheapest rate). You can get a train into London then for about £20 return. Ferries I think are about €30 as a walk on passenger, but unless you are car pooling, you lose the saving on the train into London. Accommodation isn't a problem the first night (as you'll possibly be queueing outside the shop) and subsequent nights out at my gaff (about £5 a return train about £2 single).

It's still possible if you pull a sicky from school/work or book emergency holidays. I hear Sugimori-itus is a very rare and very contagus condition, best not be around regular people when you are suffering...
