Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal versions were released with much anticipation and were received with critical acclaim; many heralded the second generation Pokemon games as the best in the series. Now it's 11 years later and Nintendo has finally remade these popular titles for the DS in the form of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, both of which are already available in Japan and will hit NA and EU regions in Spring of this year. Are these remakes straight forward reincarnations of the Gameboy and Gameboy Color classics, or have Nintendo added enough to the old Johto formula to make them feel fresh and new?
Brandon of Mammoth Gamers recently purchased a used copy of Pokémon SoulSilver. Before he started his journey through the second generation, he came across another player's file and had an unexpected problem hit him.
Indeed especially when it is someone else's save files on a cartridge that they have sold on.
This won’t be an issue on Switch when you can have one save file per account, meaning players can finally abuse the trading system
You really shouldn't give a shit about another gamer's save file on a used game you purchased... While its fun to walk in another's shoes for a bit you shouldn't feel guilty about erasing the save file. I mean if they cared about the time invested and keeping the save file i'm sure they would not have sold the game for pennies on the dollar to a used game store. Please wipe the save and start your own adventure. Game on!
I bought a used Final Fantasy Tactics for the Gameboy Advance and it has a save file of about 300 hours in it.
I feel guilty about deleting that file, luckily I can start my own separate one. I am hoping once I do and beat the game and compare my party to the previous player's and see what we did differently.

NL:
With each new generation of Pokémon, the overall number of Pokémon in the National Dex has climbed far beyond the original 151. Obviously, Pokémon has been spread over multiple generations of hardware, and this has further made it more difficult to "catch 'em all". On the Game Boy Advance, Game Freak began a method of alleviating this somewhat with remakes of the first generation games, giving gamers a more streamlined method of collecting the original Pokémon. This was continued on the DS with remakes of the second generation of games, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Because if you play it like I do and are constantly adding newly caught Pokemon to your lineup it takes an eternity? Thank goodness for EXP share in the later games haha
