Take God into the fields, and battle him against Pidgeys for EXP! Feed God berries and tasty cookies, so he'll grow to love you! Just don't feed him sour ones, though, or he might get mad and decide to erase the very fabric of your being with sheer force of will.

Needless to say, I'm eager to see how they go about topping this one.

Hehehe, gold!

Hearing that kind of makes me regret that I pretty much gave up on the Pokemon games after Ruby and Sapphire - I never quite got over the disappointment of fishing out thirty-odd quid for a copy of Sapphire and discovering that it was pretty much the same as every other Pokemon game that came before it, except without the day and night feature which helped make Silver so brilliant, and minus several of my favourite fighting critters (no chinchou? How rude!). Sure, there were some pretty little weather effects, a hundred or so new pokemon and a fancy new showroom feature in their place, but...it just wasn't the same, and yet far too samey at the same time. Does that make any sense at all?
