2.) It was easy to clone. Nowadays it's either AR or some weird glitch
Oh I forgot about that. They better fucking include Celebi. I dont want to only get it via events.
Also which iyo was better: Gold or Silver. I think Gold version was the only way to get Sacred Fire Ho-Oh, while Silver was the only way to get Auroura Beam Lugia. Which is the better pay-off iyo?
I will probably get the silver remake for Lugias uber walling ability, and the fact that it wont take 50% from SR if they dont nerf it.
If they make a remake, they're going to fix the cloning glitch.
Anyway I love GS, my favorite pokemon game by far. I love almost everything about it - the music, the plotline, the lack of all the EVs and bullshit... I even like how the menus take longer to load, it reminds me of the old days, before RS. If they remake it, I think I would still enjoy playing the original versions more, just for the nostalgia.
I searched here and it gave me nothing - although "FireRed" doesn't show up as a trademark either so... maybe someone can dig through this
But a search in google links to this article that was written in july of last year that might have triggered this DuskGold stuff.
The FireRed part is a good point... but is that article the earliest? It doesn't even mention that Nintendo has trademarked/copyrighted the name.
EDIT: Because I'm not 100% confident in my own ability of legal issues, I decided to check the US Copyright Office. Here is the Copyright on FireRed (which protects the game, not the name).
There is no such Copyrights on Pokemon DuskGold or Pokemon DawnSilver. IIRC, the game actually has to be made before it can be copyrighted... so it doesn't make sense for the copyright to apply right now anyway (assuming the game is in production). But just in case anyone wants to check the US Copyright office for copyrights anyway... there is my research on that issue.
Game names are often copyrighted before they are made. Great case in point is the Tales of series where Namco copyrights three names every time they're going to make a game and choose one.
US Copyright Office said:Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks. Contact the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, 800-786-9199, for further information. However, copyright protection may be available for logo artwork that contains sufficient authorship. In some circumstances, an artistic logo may also be protected as a trademark.
Perhaps you mean trademark. But if so... this trademark / copyright confusion is only adding to the evidence that this is a false rumor IMO.Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is “created” when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.
Silver and Gold had the best Story Mode! I really hope for a remake, 16 badges ftw?
If they make a remake, they're going to fix the cloning glitch.
I actually hope they remake Crystal instead of gold and silver. Crystal was in my opinion the best of the three.
That said I wouldn't mind if they did make gold and silver remakes. There are many positves about remakes. Elemental Punches move tutors, 16 badges, soft resetting for Suicune, eggs with dizzy punch egg moves, red gyrados, ho-oh and lugia available without events, extremespeed dragonite and celebi.
The only question is how would they incorporate whirlpool into the game? Whirlpool was an hm back then but it's not anymore.
