Man, you are not kiddin. The guy who sold it to me was equally surprised they even had a copy, and in the case as well.
He also mentioned selling a ton of DS systems and Pokemon games this week. Gee, I wonder why?

@Mbun

Wow, that's a lot to take in. For now I think I'll start over with Red and Soul Silver. After that, I'm still deciding the best route to go...
I'll mos def grab Platinum over D/P based on what you said though. Makes sense, given all the enhancements.

@Alex840

Always happy to hear people say that!
I actually had some luck today, and found a near mint copy at a local game store. Didn't have the Pokewalker accessory, but I only paid 36 fo it... which was a STEAL.

Seeing it on Amazon and eBay for nearly 100 bucks had me slightly concerned... still can't quite believe I actually found a decent copy. :O

@Hero-of-Lime

Alrighty, that's good to know!

This forum provides much better knowledge than google and youtube. I had such a hard time getting the specifics until I posted here.

Thanks!

@liftedpixel

Oooh snap.

You had me at "Trainer customization". I'm diggity down. That one also appears to be cheaper and easier to find.

Thanks fo the info!

@TOPHATANT123

Groovalicious. I know where I'm starting off then... Soul Silver, here I come babay!

Thanks again for your input.

@TOPHATANT123

Also, do I need to play B/W before B/W 2? Is it a must? Or is it similar to Yellow, in that its almost the exact same game.

@TOPHATANT123

Thanks for the all info! You are incredibly helpful!

Any suggestions on where to pick it back up? I've only beat Red and Yellow, and that was a looong time ago.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

Getting the new 3ds soon. Would like to get back into the Pokemon games. (Brandon and Kyle are to blame)
Currently having a hard time finding out which games are compatible with the new 3ds.

I've only played Red, and I know that's available as a digital download, but what about the other games?

When I search on google I cant even find a definitive list of Pokemon games that will play on the New 3ds.
Will all of the main rpg series work? I'm guessing no... Also, what's with the insane prices of some of the older games?
Soulsilver is 90 bucks on Amazon! Is that the only way to buy it new? Or is that available digitally?

Finally, Allies, what would you all recommend I play first? I've been looking into Soul Silver, B/W, B/W 2, X/Y, Omega Ruby.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
