Latest News About Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver
Hey everyone, its billi1000 and I made this thread to make it easier for everyone to share the latest information known about these 2 games. Since they have just been confirmed and we barely know anything about it except the information from Pokemon Sunday, then it'll be nice to know all there is to know. As well, be free to share oppinions about the game and if there's something on your mind just ask.Thanks. I'll be presenting all the information known below: "We learned on the 7th that "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver," the second entry in the popular RPG series, originally released on the Gameboy system in November of 1999, will be remade for the Nintendo DS this autumn under the titles "HeartGold" and "SoulSilver." New elements will be added in this tenth anniversary return to the Johto Region. A continuation of the original series (Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue, and Pikachu), Gold and Silver recorded remarkable sales of 23,000,000 copies worldwide. It introduced monsters that hadn't appeared in the gameboy games, along with various new features. Red and Green, the first games of the Pokemon series, were remade for the Gameboy Advance in 2004 as "Fire Red and Leaf Green," making this the second set of remakes. While Red and Green had fantastic upgrades in their transition from Gameboy to Gameboy Advance, this time the games are skipping the Gameboy Advance and going directly from Gameboy to DS. So they will almost certainly have drastically upgraded graphics and sound. Details will be released on the official site shortly. Currently in development for the Nintendo DS are the newest entries in the Pokemon series: "Pocket Monsters HeartGold and SoulSilver." Taking place in the Johto region, the games will be upgraded with all of the series' current features and will also be packed with brand new features. This year marks the tenth anniversary of "Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver's" release on the original Gameboy, so its revival is only fitting. Since its release in 1999, the game has sold over 23,000,000 copies worldwide." On Pokemon Sunday, not much more than we know was revealed about the game highlighting a video of Gold and Silver in New Bark Town with Chikorita following the hero. New art of the Johto starters has also been revealed in the show and the photos are available below. Pictures from the aired video are also shown below, thanks to serebii.net. P.S. Anybody see a staircase to the right of the lab, if you see anything more eyecatching, then by all means yell it out here. Edit: The video of Pokemon Sunday that aired on May 10 is now available below. http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/newbark1.jpg http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/newbark2.jpg http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/newbark3.jpg http://f.imagehost.org/0764/joinjn.jpg http://f.imagehost.org/0354/juihiu.jpg http://f.imagehost.org/0104/nhujbnuh.jpg Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4rPZe0CHBE THIS JUST IN: The following quote is from serebii.net holding the latest information: "The first details from CoroCoro have been revealed from japanese imageboards. As expected, not many details were given due to the nclearness of the scans. We hope to get clearer scans soon. However, it did show that a new female trainer is to be utilised in this game and not the female one introduced in Crystal. There are more pics showing the Starter following you in places including Violet City & Azalea Town. The game also features the area cutscenes introduced in FireRed & LeafGreen that show the area you just entered. CoroCoro uses Sprout Tower for an example, but it is likely all areas will utilise it. The scan also says that the female trainer (or male if you selected female) will serve a Support Role in the game similar to how Dawn & Lucas are in Diamond, Pearl & Platinum. t also appears there is an event in the game that utilises the Pikachu Coloured Pichu, that you obtain by pre-ordering your ticket from the 12th movie, within the game at Ilex Forest, featuring the Notched Ear Pichu as well. We'll bring more as it comes so be sure to come back." |
Well I guess a news thread would be useful so uh yay? Anyway yeah a staircase. So thats new as well as a possible underground.
|
it looks like they're trying to get back the days of pokemon yellow with the starter following everywhere, or is it until its evolution, anyway more information is coming on the way next week in CoroCoro for those waiting for something significant.
|
i did this thread so people can get updated by others as well, i m not saying not for discussion, but its mainly a place where anybody can get updated directly instead of going into every single thread, thats all, anyway the info is very little about the game so its plausible to have them under one thread as news.
Edit: Yo Hiroshi , i just got an idea, when looking at ur thread about the reveal in pokemon sunday, i thought, how about i rlink to the thread about the piece of news after stating it, this way everyone can discuss it in its own thread, btw i saw ur thread and i got what u meant , it not as little as it seems, k tc |
Are the Starters going to follow u the whole game cause i would love to see a feraligatr follow you around lol i think that they willl follow u around for the first little bit of the game where you have to go to that guy and get that thing (lol bad memory)

The starter following is probably to show to the Rival or something. Well, you walk out of town with it, and your Rival sees it, so he knows ''a wimp like you got a Pokemon''. Maybe. And yes, Silver could be looking in a side window there (to actually see you pick your starter), but in original GSC, we know Silver broke through a back window. God, serebii is slow to update.. |

I don't like how they put the style looking D/P, it is all big and bulky. In my opinion, R/S/E were the best Pokemon games I have ever played before. I will never find any other Pokemon game better than R/S/E.
|
I actually missed that staircase when i saw the video was it there in Gold and Silver?
Quote:

no actually there was no staircase in gold and silver, so it looks some improvements have bin done to the game, who knows, maybe theres an underground as well

hey man u dont know, maybe many things changed since the last couple of games, u no, like the appearance of the staircase, maybe there are new areas in the game like a region other than johto or kanto, if they add hoenn to the game, i bet u u'll be the 1st one to get the game man, still dont get the problem about things being big and bulky, it seems more real that way ...

New Bark Town does look nicer but it is different form the oringnal |
Oh! Maybe the staircase is how Silver gets in?
And what do people think of the music? Personally, I don't think it's that great. Sounds too much like D/P. However, I do like the D/P look. |
I think the underground will be back caus those blue things next to the stairs are those ventilation things used in d/p, not?
and it's been to long ago since i played gold so i don't remember the story quite well (the stealing your pkmn thing etc) But I think these games will look a lot like d/p/pt, except with a few new features they always come up with. I hope it won't take awfully long for the games to get to europe :s (g/s took about 1,5-2 years) |

Well, I saw a staircase beside the Pokemon Lab. too. It would be cool if your starter Pokemon will follow you around like in Pokemon Yellow.
|
We can't see yet what replaces headbutt trees :) i hope they will make an return because i like the more then honey trees.

I think there's a good chance your Pokemon follows you around throughout the game, otherwise there really would have been no reason to show us this feature...

It looks similar enough to me. It's recognise it as New Bark Town a mile off. It also looks beautiful in 3D, realistic and have you taken a good look at the player's house, you could actually LIVE there! (save for the fact it has two rooms, presumably!) |
Im really excited to hear about them remaking Gold and Silver, I remember when it was getting close to release, i got a yaer subscription to Nintendo Power just to get the collectible pin set lol. I've just about all of the regular pokemon games (exception being to Crystal) And honestly I don't mind the bulky style of DPPt, i definitely prefer it to the look and feel of the RSE games. My main wonder about GS remakes would be if they let you go back to Kanto and get 16 badges instead of 8 like they did in the originals. The challenge would be nice.
