I don't think they'd take out the Johto balls, it wouldn't be the same without them. Kurt going to the Slopoke well and you going to stop Team Rocket was pretty big, then he awarded you with a ball and told you if you had any acorns to come back to him. I am pretty sure they will have the different kinds of Johto balls.
|
Couldn't they keep the Johto balls and when they get transfered over to D/P/Pt they just become regular Pokeballs? Or maybe corresponding Gen III balls?
|
The thing with translating a ball to known coding for DPPt would just make no sense as people would want to keep the ball used to capture their Pokémon. The best idea they could possibly do is interpret the newer generation balls with the apricorns. The reason why I say this is because it makes things a lot simpler for compatability reasons. Not to mention, it'll still give the apricorns and Kurt a point for being held within the game. I would love for the Johto balls to come back, but then you've got to think of all the possibilities as well. So, at least Kurt will be back, but if they can simply use the apricorns to transfer into the making of the Third and Forth Generation balls, then so be it as it isn't something that'll majorly disturb me. However, some may ask, "Well, what about if we trade over the Apricorns?" To me, I think for the solution to this problem so we can at least have the apricorn feature back is to store them within their own slot for the player's bag. Just like how Key items are stored and not able to be held, then the samething can easily be done for the apricorns. We'll see how it turns out though, because there hasn't been a single Apricorn Tree sighted as yet from the map nor from the insight of the scans.

Don't get me wrong though. I do too agree that it would be much simpler to bring in the Gen 3 balls rather than bringing back the Johto balls. But such a thing is capable of hindering many Gold/Silver fans, and that "nostalgic" feeling of the game. |
Why don't they have an Apricorn case? They don't have to be attachable to the Pokemon. Also, Kurt could give you a special bag specifically for his Apricorn balls. That way, they won't have be traded over. I really hope they don't get rid of Fast Ball, Lure Ball, Love Ball, Moon Ball, etc.

The thing about the Pokéballs, and if you look at the relations that the DPPt Pokéballs in you might notice they could have been done on purpose. Okay, we know that the games have been in thought since three years ago, which was basically around the same time Diamond and Pearl came out. If you look at it closely:
- The Moon Ball made back in Gold and Silver worked best at night, and when DPPt came out a Pokéball was made that worked best at night as well, which is what we know as the Dusk Ball. - Then there is the Love Ball, which creates the bond between your Pokémon and you, the player grow faster. The Luxury Ball does exactly that, which gives this another connection. - The Fast Ball, has an easy relation with the Quick Ball we use today. The pattern and connection from the exclusive Gold and Silver Balls continues on with the newer designed Pokéballs that are used for specific cases. So, if you really think about it, Game Freak could have easily done this on purpose knowing that when they new remakes were to be released the newer generation balls could have easily been used to replace those that Kurt had designed before. They share the same use, and same equality in pattern. This is what has gotten people thinking and the possibility of it working is high, but we still need confirmation on it. Having Kurt back is understandable as he does play a small role in some events, such as the Celebi game event including the GS Ball. However, the sighting of an Apricorn tree has not been seen as yet and no information has really been given out about it. So, like we are doing now [speculation] is all we can really continue doing about this matter. However, there are connections between the balls, and we'll have to see what will be done. |
Let's Surf
I've always wanted to be able to actually see the pokemon I was surfing on instead of seeing a lapras, wailmer, etc. Do you think it's possible that they've added this feature into Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
*Keep in mind there are some small pokemon that can learn surf. |
There's already been a lot of speculation about this in the main speculation thread. You can expect Bobandbill to come around and close this very soon.
|
Ok, shut me down, I'm ready. T_T
|
It would be awesome if you could see mewtwo in this game, unlike the first time it was released.
|
Umm... as others pointed out, this does come under speculation... *moves*
Continue on! |

As for that surf sprite, I too would love to actually see the Pokemon you're using to show up rather than a default sprite. For some reason though, I doubt we'll see it happening, at least not in this game. :/ |
Battle Tower.
Maybe they'll even create a Battle Frontier. |
Well, there's that mist over there (as I heard someone say) where the Battle Tower was in Crystal. But it seems like a pretty big cloud for just one Tower, so maybe it's a whole Frontier they built there.
|
But...What about the Heavy ball?
I think...maybe they ´won´t put the apricorn ball...but maybe the add some new ones... |

Honestly though, I wouldn't mind having the old Johto Apricorns back along with Kurt's exclusive Pokéballs. If it worked with the transfering of RBY and GS, then I'm sure something could easily be fixed to allow access with them in DPPt. Overall, some way or the other, something will be clearified with this matter, but it is a matter of when. I'd like for it to return, but if it doesn't, then I think I can understand. |
Well, it worked for RBY-GSC because back then the game didn't store what Ball you caught your Pokemon in; every single one looked the same. Now, the Pokeball is on your status screen and it appears when you send out a Pokemon and stuff, so it actually makes a difference in your Pokemon's data. They could do something like change all the balls to Pokeballs when transfered to DPPt pretty easily, but they'd have to do something.
|
They may update the balls to the DPPt ones, but they don't all match up exactly...
|
They could, but imo that'd seem a little pointless since you can already buy them in the other 4th gen games for 1000 pokedollars or less. It seems like Kurt's balls are supposed to be more special than that. But I guess if they're free it's not that bad.
|
i hope you'll be able to trade pokemon from d/p/pt before getting the national dex, its really annoying that you can only trade after beating the game and getting the dex as in d/p/pt :/

Do you think there will be contest halls in Jhoto and Kanto
Do you think there will be contest halls in Johto and Kanto and if so in what towns
I think there wont be contest but if they were i think they will be in goldenrod and blackthorn Cerulean and Celedon and maybe Saffron What do you all think |
Merged the 'do you think there'll be contests in HG/SS' thread here, as it's speculation.
Personally... I somehow think there won't - if there are, maybe Kanto wouldn't be too bad a place... I'm unsure exactly if I want them in as well or not. Maybe not so much in Johto, given that it was certainly not part of GSC and all, but I don't care too much about it, really. |
