I like how your average gamer will turn up their nose at the Pokémon franchise like they're too good for it, yet the series still ranks among the best selling portable titles of all time. Somehow, I find it tough to believe that's all eight year olds buying all those copies. Call me crazy, but I'm just saying.
AndriaSang posted a slew of new screens and art from the upcoming Pokémon Heart Gold/Silver, and admittedly they do look pretty adorable. It's been a long time since I played a Pokémon game, but I'm seriously considering giving these a spin when they come out this fall. What's your favorite Pokémon title in the series?

Pokemon Silver/Gold we're the best ones in my oppinion I'm very excited to give them a second run! I played the hell out of them.
"What's your favorite Pokémon title in the series?"
Gold and Silver are my favorite ever. And to think that at it's peak, no more Pokemon would be conceived. It got overwhelming for me as a kid and I stopped caring after these two.
Oh shit, I might have to change around my Christmas list.
Every new iteration added more pokemon - and more pokemon you can't catch without trading and more useless distractions.
Gold/Silver > Every other Pokemon game. Seriously, that was the peak of Pokemon games.
Every new iteration added more pokemon - and more pokemon you can't catch without trading and more useless distractions.
Actually, most of the "you need to trade" pokemon are from the first generation.
It looks fly, it looks good.
Oh and Mabui, HG/SS lets you have any of the 493 Pokes outside of their ball following you around! How d'ya like 'dem apples?
@Mabui: I've heard that this one has the most pokemon you an catch in any game, as well as pretty much all of the legendaries. If it wasn't such a fucking time vampire or if I were still in high school, I would probably be all over it.
It's amazing how Online can change how much you can play something, and enjoy it.
Bonus memory:Convincing my girlfriend to play FireRed in order to capture me a Mankey.
Yeah, I'll be picking up HeartGold, which is superior in every way.
Also POKE-DODGEBALL?!!?
The problem with online though was that you had to exchange friend codes with the person you wanted to battle against. It would have been 1,000 times better if you could just get into instant battles against random players.
In artwork for Pokemon of all things?
POKE-FUCKING-DODGEBALL MY FRIEND.
Poke Dodgeball indeed. As for which version I'm picking up, it'll definitely be SoulSilver. Because, you know, it's blatantly better than HeartGold :)
That's not camel toe...
I have the most-fond memories of Silver, though I had more playtime in Blue. And RBY had the Cerulean Cave which was mad leveling. I know GSC had Lucky Eggs, but tell me how many Chanseys I caught for nothing? Too many.
That Pokepedometer thing somewhat interests me too. Shame I'm not in a position where I'm really active anymore.
I am far too excited about the fact that I can pick a Pokémon to follow me around. Me and my Totodile are going to be best buds :)
Also, Poke-Cocks.
Huh? Why in the world would they bring out a game for an 8-9 year old system. At some point, you have to let go.
I agree, and I'm going to pick up a DS in the near future. But, to me, it doesn't make sense to make a 'new' console, (when the SP still works amazingly well) and not support the console you 'just' produced with games, like the new gold/silver, that are going to be popular.
I can't wait for HG/SS. They appear to be Gold and Silver, with the system advancements from Diamond, and some of the awesome stuff from Yellow that never went foward in the series.
Fighting the Gym Leaders in the Kanto region and the PKMN Trainer in Mt Silver made the games the best ever...
Fu*k, I need these games now!
