[quote name='A Happy Panda']Right. Sorry, this thread is so damn big you probably didn't read that I haven't played a Pokemon game since Red, which I absolutely loved and played probably around 400 hrs =D. This was back in 6th grade of course, and I'm hella older now.
I'm just asking if I can avoid getting Leaf Green to save some money, since it IS a remake, is it possible to get all 493.....eventually. And it sounds it is.[/quote]
i guess you can just trade people for all of them. it might be tough to get all 493 even with buying emerald and such (all the legendaries), as you can't get all legendaries and event pokemon with one game - the nintendo events are long gone. for the cheapest way, just get pearl, breed some starters, and trade away...
