I've been reading, and I'm kind of tee'd off at this:
Why does anyone think that it'd be a good idea to get rid of Kanto?
They'd be taking out one of the best parts of the game, the traveling between two regions was what made the game really special and stand out against the other games. Kanto was a huge part of the story.
The Orange Islands? Really? I know this is a "what you'd like to see in the games" thread, but does anyone genuinely believe they'll put the freaking Orange Islands in place of Kanto?
Anyway...
I'd love it if NOA didn't bring the axe to the Celebi event like they did in Crystal version (but I kind of understand why). It'd be really wonderful if they had the Celebi event, and judging by the recent screens of Pikachu-coloured Pichu at the forest shrine, I'm thinking they will. :D
Also, to everyone constantly whining about "ZOMG Y THEY ALL HAVE KANTO POGEYMANS?!" this is due to the fact that the game's area was massive. 100 Pokemon over a whole region is difficult, especially when you take out 9 of them (starters), 6 of them (legendaries), and the version exclusives, you're left with 80-something Pokemon for the region.
So...
