@Kabling
Yea, that happened to my Silver too.
Its sux that when the internal clock goes, so do any saved games. I had also traded all my pokemons from red over to silver as well.

I think the others have said enough about how awesome this is. But regardless this made me shed a tear.
I found my old copy of Gold last year, and popped it in for a nostalgia bomb, only to find the internal battery died.
OMG I can’t wait.

@Jink I totally loved the backtracking feature too! I must have taken that train ride to Kanto a million times. I also was pissed that in the 3rd and 4th gen games, that was no longer an option. It seems like Gold and Silver gave you the most post-game stuff which is awesome.

@Holiday If I remember right I bought you your copy, and you spent about a year paying me back

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EXCITED
Gold and Silver are to Pokemon as the classic muscle cars of the late 60s and early 70s are to….um… car enthusiasts I guess. I still remember when Roy and I walked over to what was then Toy Works on a misty evening and he purchased Gold and I picked up Silver. And there was NIGHTTIME AND DAYTIME and at night the LIGHTS ON THE HOUSES LIT UP. Oh yeah, and POKEMON BESIDES DIGLETT WERE NOW IN COLOR.
I hope they add a couple cool new pokemon, hopefully good looking pokemon as opposed to many of other newer ones such as:

Sorry for all the links, somehow this kotowari is no longer blocked by my work and I happen to have a lot of time on my hands…

Definitely my favorite group of games in the series(actually Crystal but it’s pretty much the same thing). I was expecting this ever since all the subtle hints thrown at you in Diamond and Pearl, but still when they announced it I went insane. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. My favorite part was how you were able to backtrack to Kanto after you were finished in Johto, and I was incredibly pissed when they never implemented it again in future games, or at least had it on the same scale GSC did. Hopefully they will expand upon the backtracking of different regions, as well as other things I loved about GSC like the way your in-game mom would help you out by giving you an allowance and buying you random items. I also can’t wait to see how the game will actually look. One of my favorite anticipations for a new Pokemon game is how the sprites for the different Pokemon will look, as well as whatever animation they have and the animation for all the moves. I could go on forever about this. I’m breaking out my old GBC and popping in my copy of Gold tonight.
