    @The_Laughing_Man: Yeah, I guess it was... but I'm really diggin the Lugia/Kyogre combo in the new Silver over Ho-oh/Groudon. It's hard to decide everytime they throw out a new duo of games.

    Oh wow, I actually didn't know that, had to check it on the wiki page. I never was a fan of that in Yellow but I guess it could be kind of cool, depends if it's just for show or actually has a purpose. And also, correction to my original post: Kyogre is in Gold and Groudon is in Silver. This is now even harder to decide... Kind of weird that they chose those combinations, I would've thought Groudon-Gold and vice versa mostly because of the colors.

    I think they did that because of the remaking of the game. I mean..there is a massive amount of new content. Is it gonna have ALL the pokemon? Or just that one region? Is it gonna do the cross region ALL badges thing?

    It has both Kanto and Johto just like the original, but you can't catch every pokemon in just these remakes. It will require trading with Diamond/Pearl.

    Yeah the following around stuff is kindof a fun bonus. It's whoever's in the top of your line.  
     
    God this is an awesome entry, I can barely recognize it from Gold and Silver like a decade ago. My bad memory could help, but I think the graphics and little changes make it feel unique, and not playing the same old game again. Plus you can catch more or less every significant legendary  from every game in this one. Madness.

    Is it like only 10-20 you can not get? And the Kanto and Johto is part of the two games I liked. Much more to do.

    Unfortunately, I think there are a number. Obviously most of the starters and nearly all of the legendaries. I'm going to have to trade for eggs for half of my ideal team.

    There's like 20 or so legendaries in this, including a lot from the games made after gold/silver. Which is pretty insane. 
     
    Anybody actually know the differences between the two versions? Apart from the Kyogre/Groundon thing.

    Hmm, weird, i swear i caught a skarmory in gold. My cousin remembers skarmory being in both versions too. 
     
    Bah, Kyogre is enough for me to get gold over silver. 
     
    About the following around, does that work with legendaries and fishlike pokemon as well? Oh that would be weird...

    Gamestop is opening at 9am, which they say is early for HG/SS. Check here to see if your local one is on the list(really late to be posting this).
