Pokemon Gold and silver Remakes

The Pokemon Platinum thread was getting off topic. Becuase the prospects of remakes are more interesting to me than a third Dp Game let's talk about Johto in the 4th generation. First of all let's give you hard evidence.

This is a hacked Chikarita that says it is from Johto. Now hackers can do all kinds of crazy things but they can't hack something that doesn't already exist in the data. Also more evidence is the appearence of Jasmine in Sunnyshore, and professor Elm's work being mentioned by a Hike. Also the old games no longer work due to the battery dying. I think it's time for Nintendo to re-release Johto.

Why thank you for the new thread.

I am not sure why most people love g/s so much. (me being one of them)


I mean it was so amazing. Maybe it was the added ability to get to kanto, or maybe it was the way secrets are put in the game, who knows. All I know is I probably can't have as much fun in a pokemon game ever.

The idea of it being remade would give me much happiness.

Yep I agree but this thread is about, what you would like to see in a remake, and evidence that it will happen. I think the name Platinum is a way of foreshadowing the remake. Gold/Silver/Crystal No which of these things is not like the other? They did the same thing in Generation 4 Diamond/Pearl/ Platinum?. Sure Platinum fits with its Japnese name, but the same way Crystal is the odd one out in Generation 2 Platinum is the odd one out in Generation 4. Also last time they decided to break a generation's naming pattern it became the naming trend for later games. After Crystal the next Gen. Games were named after Gemstones, and I beleive they're telling us they plan to bring out the Metals again.

In a remake of the game, I would like to see it taken further. Johot, kanto, whatever 3rd gen was (can't remember)


Or they could another island deal like they did in FR and LG.


I think they can maybe advance team rocket some more, they didn't do anything majorally big in g/s if I remember correctly, except for taking over a radio station. Where is the silf co take over, or trying to cover the earth in lava?

Yeps, I loved those games. And for some reason I found a lot of the tunes catchy. Teaming up with Lance was cool, and I wonder if they'll incorporate the 2vs2 in it now (similar to how it was with that Steven (sp) guy on Ruby/Sapphire). The gameplay was good, and I like Kanto was available. I just really liked that game XD

I'd like them to put Contests in Johto, I was really annoyed in FR/Lg WHen they decided to cut them out. They should have:
Third Generatiion battle portion seriously the, new contest battle system is stupid and relies more on luck than strategy
The dress up part of the Super contests were fun and meant that people who sucked at making Poffin could still get some points in the condition section
Return of Pokeblocks, Poffin are way harder to make
The dance section was OK
I agree that a two on two battles with Lance against the rockets, would be sweet. As for the Rockets having a big goal like Aqua Magma Galactic I think I prefer a group of thugs who simply want to make money makes tham a bit more evill when they force Pokemon to evolve or cut off Slowpoke Tails.

you realize that all someone would have to do to make the screen say "johto" is obtain a copy of the game's code (ROM's anyone?) and simple write "johto" were it says "kanto" or whatever the hell other place pokemons come from.

I do agree that those two games should be remade though. Those were the only 2 pokemon games I actually played alot. The origanal were good, but gold/silver were WAY better. Everything afterword was over the top. They started running out of ideas for pokemon, recycling stuff and bull****ting the whole series.

No the screenshot is confirmed to be real. any hacker can get the screen to say this. Yeah Johto should definately be remade.

No the screenshot is confirmed to be real

I think you made that up. because that screenshot is just one picture, and there are two screens in the shot. So we can asume that this is being played on a DS. HOWEVER! if this was being played on the DS, the gap between the two screens would be much larger. And the screens have a "tube-like" quality to them that makes me think this is being played on a TV. It's just a hack, it is not real, and nintendo has no intention of remaking the gold/silver games when they can just make NEW games and all you fanboys will buy them quicker than you can say "that screen shot is fake".

No its the top of two DSs put together for convienence on a black backround. Trust me this is the only legit evidence we have, Please don't bash it.

The Generation II games were amazing simply because they expanded on the games before them, and they showed you how the world had changed since Generation I. Also had some of the better functions, such as the night/day cycle, and different events and different shops being open on different days of the week, some good story moments such as the Red Gyarados (which also shows how they introduced shiny pokemon) and Team Rocket mourning the fact that Giovanni had left them, and Janine wanting to cure that poor Ampharos, etc etc. And one of the most memorable moments in Pokemon history, I am of course referring to the battle with Red at the top of Mount Silver. I've not seen anything remotely as awesome in Generation III or IV (but then I've not played FireRed/LeafGreen).

Basically it was so good because it was such a massive jump from the game before it. The next two generations didn't change as much since then beyond graphically, and even then not that much, and Generation III actually removed some things like the night and day cycle. Generation IV restored them but even then it was only restoring something that had already been there once.


On the subject of a remake, I'm scared to go back to my old copy of Gold because I know it probably won't work. So I absolutely require one for nostalgia's sake.

gold and siver were like the best games ever! well for pokemon. i liked them the best becasue of the 2 regions instead of 1. and

in the starting thread it says:
"Also the old games no longer work due to the battery dying."
what do you mean by that?

Gold/Silver/Crystal had an internal clock in the cartridge, and they needed a special battery for this clock to be able to run, as well as a battery to allow the game to save. This battery had a life of around six years, and since the games were released around 2000 or so, it's been at least eight years. So the internal battery is now dead, and since this battery was also what allowed the game to save, the games won't save anymore.

First off - no way is that a DS screen, or even two DS screens. DS screens are flat, not curved. Also, the lower screen says "apparently met at Lv.5". Now, I haven't played D/P - but apparently? It doesn't fit, especially not as the other screen says "arrived at".

As all the Pokémon games are meant to take place in the same world, and you can even go back to Kanto in G/S/C, this seems to be a perfectly natural part of the games. Actually, I'm surprised they didn't do something similar in R/S/E.

You're talking about the game data being corrupted because the battery for the clock died, right? It's a common misconception. If you start a fresh game and keep playting for an hour or so, it charges the battery up again. The old games are not completely dead, trust me. You just have to use them occasionally.

Does that work with R/S/E too? Because the clock battery in my copy of Ruby is dead too.

Anyway, I'd like it if Ninty remade G/S/C. Crystal is the one I have, so that's the remake I'd get. Suicune ftw.

Silver is my all-time favorite Pokemon game. I'd love to see it remade! ^_^

Pokemon Gold And Silver should definitely be remade. They make a B/R/G remake, so why not G/S/C?

My Gold is dead. ;-;

I think I still have my copy of Crystal somewhere... too bad I lack a console to play it on. That would actually be the main reason I'd want to see a remake of that generation, so that I wouldn't have to lug around my GBA anymore. I liked the G/S/C generation, it was the first games I introduced to my friend and we had a loooong summer when almost all we did was play pokémon and trade mystery gifts with each other. Fun times. I don't think there's a remake in the planning at the moment, but I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to go through with it one of these days, simply to milk the franchise a bit more. Maybe on the tenth anniversary of that generation, or something.

I got gold, like, 8 months ago & have only 2 badges, so I missed out on that one so I'd love to see a remake of them

It almost definitely is. That Chickorita was made using pokesav, since I've done the same thing before to see if it really worked. That data is definitely in the game, but impossible to get without hacking.

Also, 'Apparantly met at' is what you get for a traded 'mon. For the first picture, the guy that took the pictures set the 'hometown' as Sinnoh in the pokesav program, so the game thinks that pokemon originates from Sinnoh. In the 2nd screenshot, he must have set the hometown and caught location as Johto, which is the reason for the 'apparantly met'.



So yes, I believe that there will be a G/S remake, and I desperately want one. Crystal was awesome.
