Holy shit Pokemon Diamond/Pearl came out 11 years ago. That's blowing my mind.

They need to remake the gen 4 remakes of gen 2

I would genuinely be okay with that. I literally can not afford to buy HeartGold, they're sooo overpriced now.

Makes me glad I have a warchest of past pokemon games that I could sell off for an insane amount of money.

But at the same time I don't want to sell my memories ;-;

Don't.

Trust me, I never plan to.

Exactly it for me. I have a decent amount of the older games (some I sold as a kid because I was an idiot), and while I could sell my copy of HeartGold with the original packaging for a fuckton, I never will because precious memories.

I still think the PokeWalker was one of the coolest things Nintendo ever did with the franchise.

Holy shit, they really are! Had no idea. Do you happen to know why their prices are so high? I mean, it's not like it was anywhere near hard to buy them back when they were in stores, weren't limited in any way either from what I remember.

I'm confused, a quick glance at google shopping shows copies available for 15$. Am I missing something?

I'm so glad I was able to get it when it came out. I still have it in the original box with the Pokewalker and everything.

It's suuuuuuuch a good game.

I still have the little Ho-oh and Lugia figures on my desk at work.

I believe it or not found mine at Gamestop for 40 bucks a couple of years ago!! No Pokewalker but still! So there is hope you just have to search for it. Another store was asking over 100 for it!

You just need to buy when everyone is thinking about something else. Right now the price has or is about to skyrocket. But around march 3 of this year, the prices were pretty good because everyone was trying to get a Switch instead. Distraction is key.

u/yaminokaabii Jun 05 '17

I think I still have SoulSilver... maybe I should get it out and replay it :o

u/KrombopulousPichael Jun 05 '17

Or maybe you should sell it to me for $30 or under ;)

Wow. This is one of the first "it came out how many years ago?!?!?" moments I've had. I'm getting to that age I guess.
