I think Silver looks awesome. Prof.Elm too, I'm glad they changed the TR Grunt, the old one looked so much like Jesse, I wonder what the male TR Grunt will look like. Probably exactly like the old one but updated grapics.
D: I really don't want Groudon, I they've changed it around I think it would have made more sense like that. Groudon, is fire (sorta) and so is Ho-oh. Kyougre is water, and so is Lugia. Unless they were trying to get the opposite of the main POkémon of the game. Oh well at least I don't have to play Emerald, or trade them over from Diamond.
Edit:
I hope that they don't put the Hoenn legends into the main storyline, that would just ruin everything. Hopefully they come after you get the National Dex, because that would be after you beat the Elite Four.
