ANYBODY USE A DS?

[KoG Jehuty]

Whether it is a Nintendo DS classic or 3DS, I am curious if anybody uses one and what games you like to play on it. I have a DS lite (have had the chance for DSi or 3DS but I prefer the feel of a DS lite) and the game I am currently playing is FFXII Revenant wings.

my mom has one that we play once in a while.. i used to play pokemon before i traded it in towards my halo xbox lol. she plays games like brain age and those types.

Yeah I still actively play mine. Right now I am on Pokémon Heart Gold soon headed to White 2. I am trying to find a Pokémon Platinum and I preordered the Pokémon X & Y.

I have a DS! I mostly play pokemon; in my opinion its the best series they have for the DS, and the reason I keep buying Nintendo handhelds. I have a *slight* addiction.

Im in the process of saving up for a 3ds i decided there is nothing wrong with being 22 and wanting to play pokemon haha i want ocarina of time to play on the go too. (I do alot of driving up and down the country for my job a DS will really entertain me)

What pokemon game should i get? Im guessing it should be either black or white? Get throughone of these on my sisters DS and if i enjoy it i will buy my own DS plus one of the new pokemons coming out lat. in the year. So which one? Bear in mind i havnt played since red/yellow/blue i played gold and silver a little. (I understand pokemon has changed alot since then but im ok to jump to one of these right?)


I just saw that there is also pearl and diamond, if you think i should play one of these too then let me know i just want to know whats best to play to jump back into it.

There are many good ones. I liked Sinnoh region which was Pearl, Diamond and Platinum. All are good, I didn't find the story plot of Black 1 great but I liked Black 2. All aout personal preference I guess, the animation granted got better in the black and white series.

Which is a bigger game? Longer to complete/more to do im guessing these games are much bigger than the originals on gameboy. ( i feel so old saying gameboy! Im only 22!)

 

[KoG Jehuty]

Probably Black 1 or White 1 has the most extended story plot.

 

[XGC HyPeR]

Are black and white the same game like blue and red where?

 

[KoG Jehuty]

Yeah, but the difference is which legendary you are able to get, For example Zekrom (The black Dragon) is only obtainable in White Version, where as Reshiram (The white dragon) is only obtainable in Black version.

 

[XGC HyPeR]

I presume it doesnt matter if i buy the game pre owned right?

 

[XGC Daystar]

Hyper, my recommendation would be to get HeartGold or SoulSilver. They're remakes of the second generation of pokemon (silver and gold), and are my favorite in the entirety of the handheld series by far. Black and White are outstanding, but the ones I've mentioned may be the most familiar place to jump in.

Also, it doesn't matter if you get it pre-owned, but you'll have to look up instructions on how to delete the file already there (there are not multiple save files, much like the first games). The instructions are a little weird--you basically have to push some button combination at the start screen or something like that. Google will know.

If you get the games and have Wifi we should do some battles!

 

[XGC HyPeR]

I basically had it pulled up ready to buy today and chickened out i can get black/white much cheaper but if you think silver or gold are a better choice then maybe i should get one of them. I just want something i can play for hours and get lost in.....

 

[XGC Daystar]

They're all fantastic (though Diamond and Pearl are my least favorites).

Get whatever! You'll have a good time!

 

[XGC HyPeR]

I can get silver or black for £20.00 gonna order on sunday see how much money iv got left

 

[XGC Sammasaurus]

I bought my DS specifically for one game - Black. I have been more than thrilled with it and aside from Heartgold, which I haven't yet played, they're the only two games I own on DS! To be fair, go with what looks like it would be the most entertaining for you!

 

[Lady Valor 7711]

I super plan to get one first chance I get. Just so I can play pokemon lol

 

[XGC Daystar]

I had no idea there was so much love for Pokemon here! I'll have to track down my friend code and give it to y'all so we can battle/trade. Also...pokemon VGCs. So much fun.

pokemon is awesome! ive been a fan since day one have all games but i liked ruby,sapphire, and emerald the most the starters from after that didnt really interest me anymore charmander is still my favorite starter with torchic running a close second! but the heartgold and soul silver are really good i dont really like black and white i thought the story mode was retarted and short the story for black and white 2 is alot longer then the previous ones. id recommend soulsilver first tho then prolly platinum

 

[KoG Jehuty]

Good to see a lot of love from Pokemon fans here
