or a game where you could start at any town, that would be awesome
Oh God, if only this was true. I still have my original Gold version. It's the ONLY other Pokemon game I remotely liked other than D/P.
There's always that homebrew thingy game called Pokemon: Shiny Gold. I don't know how good it is though, considering it's not an official game or anything.
Omg, really hope they do remake these. But with a new battle system, D/P sucked cause the battles took like 10mins. Seriously you select a attack and it takes likes 3 seconds to do it. Very noticible if you have played R/S/E just before.
