The GBA and DS era Pokémon games were always kinda expensive.

70 euros
HeartGold sells for that price in stores if I can find it
Fucking...Seventy...

Yeah, HeartGold and SoulSilver go for about that much here too. Madness.

The Pokemon games were never expensive. They were always easy to find.
However, for some strange, strange reason, HeartGold and SoulSilver never dropped in price. I don't know if it's because of the PokeWalker or what, but those two games in specific ended up so much more expensive...

It's not. The 70 euro games were JUST the games, they had the regular packages and not the boxes Pearl was a similar price too

In the US, Diamond and Pearl were always easy finds. It was always specifically HG/SS that raised in price and never came down.

Too soon Pokemon, WAY too soon

You beat me to it! But at least we may not have to wait until next year as we expected.

There is a reason for it being revealed now. It has to do with that new movie coming out. A new trailer was released with Marshadow in it.

So we're getting both Ash-Pikachu AND Marshadow together.

You think I didn't know that? I'm just saying it's too soon because SM is less than a year old and every Pokemon introduced in them will be obtainable by summer.

The only things left are AZ's Floette, Magearna's alternate form, unobtainable Shinies and a small amount of unobtainable Hidden Abilities.

Every movie doesn't have to have a Mythical Pokemon in it. This movie could've easily just focused on redoing the Original Episode like it appeared to do since it was announced.

Marshadow could've easily been saved for next year's movie.

Oh cool. One of the best pokemon introduced in Gen 7. If bottlecaps weren't such a bitch to get I might be interested in competitive play with this absolute savage

Mythical Pokémon are banned in tournaments.

If I play competitively, I'm playing with friends who don't care about official rulesets, they'd be okay with it if A: They get to bring in a Mythical or B: the tier setting on Smogon

dunno if it been posted yet but here you go

New trailer showing more of plot of new pokemon film look like some elements from the old animal in the film story but it completely set in alternative univers

Everyone doesn't play VGC.

I’m not against them adding new Pokémon or characters; it makes sense, but replacing Brock and Misty? That kinda stinks.

you remember when the logo changed on ash hat int he new film well it moved to his bag is now yellow

Oh OK my Derp, sorry.

I am significantly less interested in the movie now. The only thing that still has me slightly interested is more evidence that Ho-Oh will have a prominent role, which is all I wanted.

It really didn't need to be about another freaking mythical already, especially when there's only one this generation. Could have waited.

There's 2. Magearna and Marshadow.

What really screwed this up IMO was them using Zygarde in the anime and not in a movie along with Volcanion, instead of Magearna.

Unless they add new Pokemon to the next Gen 7 games(If there are anymore Gen 7 games), this generation is going to be the shortest ever.

This movie looks really good a movie base around Hooh set in Kanto with other pokemon from different Gens gonna be exciting to watch.

Hooh was a pokemon that I always wanted to have his own movie and after 20 years he finally gets one I'm very happy about this.

I'm cool with Ho-Oh getting a more prominent role. It's my favorite legendary.
I'm fine with them adding in later gen Pokemon. It just makes sense.
I'm not fine with them replacing Brock and Misty. I love Brock, and...Misty is cool, too...It just doesn't make sense. Makes me a little disappointed.

A lot of my excitement has tempered because of that change.

im taking this film more set in AU as in some of the original story still there mainly ash leaving but the rest after that will be changed.

Ah yes, forgot about Magearna since we got it already.

(Also not into replacing Misty and Brock, so that's not helping either.)

Yeah dropping Misty and Brock is a huge turn off for me too. I was especially looking forward to seeing Misty again since it's been forever since we last saw her properly.

but why though when this film clearly can been seen been in a AU not tv anime.

The first thing they showed of the movie advertised it as a retelling of the original. Granted, the original show was outright bad imo but there's a reason people expected those popular characters to return. All I care about is that they might have teased sinnoh remakes. I need my glorious Giratina to get more lovely toys.
ALSO MAYBE A HYPER TRAINING THING THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD GAME FREAK FFS

i under stand that when the teaser came up but everyone still did not know what was going to be the film until the new plot trailer came out.

Not sure what your point is. I'm not an idiot, I knew it was going to be an AU retelling since it was announced.

But the fact is it's still a retelling, mainly to capitalise on the anniversary and therefore nostalgia. In which case, why the strip it of everything but the bare bones? Ash and Team Rocket are still around 20 years later, so why forgo the characters people might be actually excited to see return.

It's a matter of expectations.
Initial teasers led people on that it would be a retelling.
With the new trailers, we now know it's going to be more AU, with multiple cast changes.
So the people who wanted the abridged retelling, skimming away the filler and pointless plots won't get what they wanted to see, and interest wanes since now the cast is Ash, Team Rocket, and yet another bunch of movie characters that will never appear be relevant after the movie.

I'm trying to accept single battles but every time I try to it says there's a problem with my team. Anyone know what the problem is?

You got legendary in it or any hack poke money

I'm starting my next shiny hunt for a shiny Cubone in Pokémon Moon.

I love how shiny Alolan Marowak looks so I'm gonna aim for one of those.

I have one, if you're interested. I've got my breeding setup and it's got the wrong nature and ability for any build I want to use.

I was kind of hoping to give it a nickname.

You have to remember though that alot of those 10-20$ carts online are bootlegs.

If those were legit carts 35$ isn't bad.

Also Emerald was a late Gameboy Advance game, a lot of those got expensive, same with the HGSS and the generation 5 games where they were released when the 3DS was coming out so they got expensive quickly.

Well it's been 10 years since Diamond and Pearl came out in North America. It's so hard to believe it has been that long!

Here's hoping we get remakes in the near future.
