absolutely love the national park theme. I was obsessed with it as a kid playing silver and to hear the new one for the first time playing soul silver was amazing. one of the best video game themes for me.
YES, it is a timeless masterpiece 💖 Go Ichinose truly out did himself with it. Also same! 🥹 I didn’t think they could make it even better than the original, but they did.
This made me feel so nostalgic! Last time I touched my soul silver was back in 2018 during my sophomore year of college. I remember doing a hardcore Nuzlocke, will definitely have to explore my 6yr old save file
Omg it’s been a while! I’d love to know what you find while revisiting it :) I still haven’t done a nuzlocke myself in any of the games, so it’s on my to-do list 😆
It’s cool to come across a channel of someone who loves pokemon but has a sense of humor with those names 😂. what’s interesting though I never knew that the trainer card has a rank and changes that’s something to discover in 2024. Growing up with pokemon is one of the best things I can have in my life I remember picking up pokemon blue for the first time felt in love but Gen 2 will always be my number #1 thanks for sharing your soul silver save file it’s such a pleasure to see some else’s adventure it was cool to experience your love for pokemon just followed!
Thank you 😂🫶 Yeah, it’s cool to find out random Pokémon facts like that! I learned about it thanks to @d0ubleslap :) I love their acc. Me too 🥹 it makes me happy that my own experiences resonate with other Pokémon fans~ especially other gen 2 enthusiasts 😎 thank you for your support!!
@@johtocutie You’re welcome 😂 I had a good laugh. That’s dope ima have to follow their acc thanks to them and you I now know it’s interesting no matter how long we always find something new. It’s the best feeling when you share something in common and can have a wholesome conversation about it sharing the experience. No problem I support what you got going on having to resonate the love of Gen 2 I have with someone is warmth. I’m always talking about Gen 2 all day no matter how much I’ve experienced johto I will never get tired.
Oh gen 4, such a nostalgic era. That was THE Pokemon era for me, after gen 5 I kinda dropped out. Still remember waiting for HG and SS to be released and being excited. Have played them through multiple times recently cuz they're great for challenge runs like solo runs and nuzlockes. I personally prefer HG over SS cuz cba with whirl islands. Love your content, takes me back!
Gold/Silver are my favourite Pokémon games of all time, started out with them, picked Cyndaquil every time, I always give him the everstone when he evolves into Quilava, I love that fire ferret so much lmao. Currently in the process of 100% the game since I never did when I was younger. It's been a lot of fun.
Yes, they were amazing!! I don't blame you, Quilava is a cutie too :) omg I love to hear it!! I plan to do the same but with Crystal when I get around to replaying it. I never got to experience the Celebi GS ball event, so I really want to since they made it accessible with the Virtual Console release of it 🥹 I also want to experience it in HGSS too since I didn't get to there either! But with HGSS they included more to it than in Crystal
Oh wow, I played Pokemon Soulsilver too back then (I had Pokemon Gold on the Gameboy, so I went for Soulsilver). Such great memories, because I had a small group of friends who was always down to battle. But I have to admit I think I never fought Red, because I was always too afraid of him😭 I guess, I should look for my old copy and try to finally beat him😁
@ Yup it's still a lot more I can do in that game! I haven't even started in Kanto region yet!! I an still collecting the Johto badges! and mainly this was one of my favorites Pokemon games to play through because you would be able to battle a total of 16 Gym leaders Brock was always my favorite character in Pokemon!!!! I even have some of the newest Pokemon games like Violet & Sword for my Nintendo switch but Pokemon SoulSilver was always one of my favorites and this game is a DS and I still play it in 2024 going into 2025!! Because the game is just so good with a huge load of content in the game card.
Yes! I was considering it, but even if they replace the battery, the old save file can’t be recovered 🥲 it’s OK, I can at least replay Crystal on my 3DS so there’s that!
@@johtocutiehonestly I’m like this after modding my Dsi XL and 3ds XL can always replay the game on them plus I’m too lazy to sit through the game especially with so many games now on my hands 😅
LOVE these videos! fun tip if you want to preserve whatever cartridge saves you have left…buy a GB Operator. with this tool you can back up your save files on your computer so if your cartridge battery ever dies, just replace the battery and import the save back on it! should last another 15-20 years :) as far as DS & 3DS saves, just use checkpoint since tour 3DS is modded!
Thank you so much, it means a lot to know you enjoyed it! 🥰 Where did you buy yours? I also heard about the Pocket Analogue from a different creator’s video! If I remember correctly, using that console you can access old save files from cartridges, but I have to double check because I might’ve misunderstood what they said in the video 😅 Omg yes, I’ve been meaning to back up my other saves too!! Thank you for reminding me :)
@@johtocutiei have an analogue pocket myself, don’t remember off the top of my head if you can access old saves, i’ll have to look into that! can’t wait to see your other save files, it truly takes me back especially because Gold was my first pokemon experience around 7 or 8 years old on my older sibling’s GBA, then my parents gifting me an orange DSi bundled with Mario Kart AND HeartGold with the pokewalker. my inner child is very happy watching your videos :)
rip ro all the lost save files from our childhood, sucx that one single battery can have a crazy effect. i mean you could switch it but it wont bring the save files back :(
LITERALLY 😭 they’ve managed to make a machine that lets you backup your save files if they’re still intact, but most fans’ cartridges battery already expired by now :((( that’s the case with my crystal cartridge anyway
I had to replace the battery manually in my old crystal. Crazy that it's the same game that went out for me as well. There are tutorials on how to. Use 2 tiny flat head screw drivers if you don't own the proper bit to take it apart. Be careful not to strip the screw. 😁 good luck
Omg that’s amazing that you were able to do it yourself! I will try once I get the necessary tools because part of me wants someone else to do it, but also part of me doesn’t trust anyone to have it in their hands 🤣😅 thank you!!
@johtocutie yeah it was so good! Im so glad you found out about it. Who knows Maybe you will grind it in 2024? Ideas for a youtube series of videos? :O (Its kinda grindy tho 😅)
My favorite OG theme is definitely Ekruteak City. I felt so soothed by that theme, and I was sad they changed it. Also no, it isn’t you. Gen 4 is notoriously slow. Try to KO a level 100 Blissey, you’ll be 80 by the time it hits 0
Agreed and me too 😭 the original is great! I THOUGHT SO. I remember it being slow but my goodness, since it had been so long I was questioning myself 🗿
Nice :) how did you feel about it after replaying it recently? I forgot how fun Emerald/Gen 3 was until I was replaying a rom hack of it this year 😭💚 I almost cried hearing the title screen intro again after so many years
Nothing wrong with deleting a save file to play again. The number of times ive restarted pokemon games to play them again cant even be counted at this point im sure(mostly G/S/C and HG/SS but also most of the others). Also a lot of retro game stores will replace the save battery in your crystal usually for pretty cheap in my experience, just a matter of finding a place that will do it. Love the video
@@krexed6709 I wish I hadn’t because I would’ve loved to see what I did originally 🥺 but you’re right! I found myself going back to replaying the older games (gen 1 and 2) + their respective remakes the most because it’s where it all started for me too 🥰 I haven’t had the chance to look into it, but I’ve been meaning to since I luckily still have my cartridges :) thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!! 🫶
@@onyx5252 thank you so much!! ☺️ also yes omg it’s from @capstar.ca on IG. I got myself the Yellow, Red, and Silver cartridge keychains, and Gold and Crystal for two friends. I think they’re going to bring them back to their shop!
Gotta back up those saves on the 3ds so they never get lost 😭 Recently been buying all the old Pokemon games I couldn't own as a kid, just to have physical copies of them now, and I always make sure to save any files already on the games, super fun to just go through and peek at someone else's journey :D Also just collecting them cause I've been working on my living dex challenge haha.
REAL. I still need to figure out how to do so on my 3DS with the ones I still have the save files for 0: Aw I love that you got yourself the ones you didn’t have as a kid 🥹 I’m able to do the same now but digitally since modding my 3DS! I think it’s a good idea that you backup your saves now :) Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Ooo that’s an exciting challenge!! I wish you the best of luck with your living dex 🥰 I know it’ll take some time but be so worth it!
@@johtocutie I think most of the 3ds ones can be backed up with either checkpoint or JKSM. For the gba or gbc ones I use the gbabackup tool on project pokemon, haven't had any issues so far 😄
I really enjoyed this video! It’s been a while since I’ve played a Gen 2 game! I regret getting rid of my old copies 😢 I really want them to remake Gen 2 because I played a lot of HeartGold and SoulSilver! I’m a Gen 4 girlie but I still love the original generations! I’m actually currently replaying Let’s Go Eevee because I really miss playing Gen 1 games and I love Eevee! I just need to beat Blaine and the Viridian City Gym Leader and then I’m close to completing the game!
@@KimmyChi5 hi Kimmy! :) thank you, it means a lot 🥹🫶 it’s okay, I also have my regrets with giving away some of my games too 😭 I’m curious to know if they would ever create another remake for Gen 2! They did a couple for Gen 1, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to do another for Gen 2 👀 I don’t blame you for being a Gen 4 girlie! That Gen was great too 🥰 Aw that’s nice! Who’s your fave Eeveelution? And that’s great that you’re so close to beating the game! I never finished my first playthrough of it, so I should do that eventually 🤣😅
@@johtocutie I do have a soft spot for Eevee but my top three are a tie between Umbreon, Espeon and Slyveon! I love all the Eeveelutions but those are probably my top favourites!
UGH YES. I'm hoping they'll bring them to the Pokémon Center website 😭 So far, they've made the Ho-Oh and Lugia plushies available, so I have hope they'll bring over the other cool merch!!
I do! I just haven’t finished any of those games 😅 I got my switch during graduate school, so I barely had time to even play them 🗿 but I managed to make time for New Horizons LMAO
@@thunderstar254 yes, this is just how I talk 😭😂 I am a soft-spoken person, which is a blessing and a curse. It’s good because most people find it comforting and soothing. Bad because I have to repeat myself/force myself to talk louder often 😅 Idk how big of a difference it is when I whisper… maybe I’ll do both in my next video

When a Gen 2 game doesn't save, it means the battery is dead. You need to solder a new one on the board.
You can order everything online I got them! This is the vibe
I’m jealous!! I managed to get the socks and the marker set but not the notebook 😭💔
I’m more of a Crystal version fan, but I did check my old save file recently too.
Apparently I cheesed through Red with Mewtwo.
YES Crystal is my fave of the originals!
LMAO I don't blame you! 😂
The crystal is an easy fix for anyone with the skills to change the battery like some retro game shops. :)
