Zelda May 12th, 2009 6:42 AM

Oh my! Thank you for posting this up.

Wow could this be the event for the notched-ear Pichu?

This is a great discovery, and I must say the girl looks rather cute in that outfit.

The Pichu is by your side, does this mean we can have any pokemon follow us?

Also if no one has seen it, we still have that pokegear!

iTzKaizer May 12th, 2009 6:45 AM

Wooooooooooooooh!!!!!! Wow great picks there! I will love these new games. They include those cool events, the pokemon sprites appear just in front of you... And the New Ilex Forest and Shrine is just awesome!

EDIT: OMG OMG OMG... I forgot to mention the Pokemon fan arts are great!

And seems that Crystal won't be in this game too, since that new female character has the pokegear...

Artemis May 12th, 2009 6:47 AM

The girl looks cute actually, I guess adding her instead of Crystal might be something new and original for the game. I would like to see her sprite. Hmm, the Pichus are shown both the Notch Eared and the Pikachu colored one as well. Could this mean the Notch Eared Pichu will be capturable as I suspected? Could this mean the Pikachu Colored Pichu will be an event that is also able to be captured as well? We'll all know over time.

Though, in the Pichu pic the starter wasn't following, does this mean the Pokémon that follows can be changed with the first party Pokémon on your team, who knows.

These are great scans ... Nice to see the Ilex forest by the way.

Well, the Pokgear is now a watch, and blue and pink as well, very nice! I expect seeing this as the touch screen item for the DS.

wolf May 12th, 2009 6:47 AM

c)

Awesome, looks like the starter won't follow you all the time (possibly when it is in the PC) when you see the Pichu screenshot. Crystal is gone now. =O I love these. <3

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 6:52 AM

Yeah I will state what I noticed.
The starter is going to be with you through the whole game. But possibly only up till you evolve it.
The Poke-gear as I stated has a camera. DSi functions people?
The new girl looks more Johto then Crys in my opinion.
Seems to me the machine to choose starters like in oaks lab is in full 3D
What is that building that gold and cynda are standing in front?
Please note also the first person view is back. In 3D! So it seems.
Also zipper hoodie...
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z266/ocweeklycrew/colbertCalledIt.jpg
Only I get such awesome guesses.
I love the new arts.
I wonder what the Pichu event is..
Also it seems only until your starter evolves will it stay out.

Crystal was part of the Crystal game, adding a new female sprite shouldn't be too much of a surprise as Crystal was not originally from the Gold/Silver game. The new Gold looks neat, I think as well...The new hat isn't as bad as I might have though.

Edit: It seems as though the evolution for the starter would have been too much, but not to me. Cynda, is that the new girl's name? xD Camera in the Pokegear, if so, then it certainly just might be a DSi feature...

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 7:00 AM

Cynda=Cyndaquil. Also I just noticed your starter is not there cause the Pichu's are following. And Amity square can have the evolutions so why not. Also it looks very likely that its a camera. And is it a poke-gear? It sure seems so they are built almost the same. Just a different style for the current gen. I love it.

Sweet Smoochum May 12th, 2009 7:00 AM

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE! You're awesome. (This thread should be stickied.)

These two characters look sooooooooooo cute! <3 I really love Gold's new outfit. (My mom even likes the characters' clothes, too.) I'm still excited over this! ^_^ (I'm kinda happy that they replaced Kris.) I see a Cyndaquil following Gold...

wolf May 12th, 2009 7:00 AM

Look:
If you notice at the bottom screen it looks like a few buttons or something? Of course this is before you get the Poketch since this is in New Bark Town.

Does the pictures in the touch screen looked colored to me, unlike in DPPt? Those also may not be buttons, but they looks sort of like faces, Gym Leaders, perhaps?

Cynda = Cyndaquil, got it, but I wonder what the name of this new girl is...xD I wonder if we can expect to see her in the Anime perhaps? ...

Actually you get the gear 2 minutes into the game. when you walk downstairs you automatically get stopped by mom and she give you the gear. And it should be. I can see a map a radio and a phone icon.

Methinks it's the Pokegear, Poketch style as predicted.

Pictures = lots of new stuff to speculate on! Decent amount, there...

Spinosaurus May 12th, 2009 7:10 AM

This looks neat,I like Cynda's OW sprite aswell.

The new Female? Or should i say the new Crystal(Maybe?) Isnt surprising as what Flash said Crystal was only anounnced in the crystal game(I played it actully) And this is Gold and Silver remakes.The new Gold,not much he's Totally normal to me.

Pink and Blue Pokegear,I can also see Its gunna be in the Lower screen,Kinda Diamond And Pearl like dont you agree? But meh.

The Arts looks great.

In the pichu event,Dosent it Looks like one of them is the Pichu Coloured Pichu and the other one is The Notched ear Pichu? Or maybe its just me?

It seems The starter Isnt following you in the Pichu picture,Actully i think its a Cut-scene thats why the starter isnt following.

Anyway thank for showing us These I actully got Excited.

Ivysaur May 12th, 2009 7:15 AM

Hmm, I see the Slowpoke Well and Celebi's Shrine... and something I'd bet my money is the Sprout Tower. They all look awesome.

But what I see is the starter following the trainer around Violet, which makes me specially happy :D

So I'll guess I'll rejoice ^^

Artemis May 12th, 2009 7:17 AM

The picture does hsow the Pikachu colored Pichu, just it is hard to tell if the other is the Notch Eared Pichu...There are nice spriting of Cyndaquil, that is true. Want to see how they did with Totodile.

The bottom screen buttons, looks like they actually might have added a lot more the the PokGear, I expect some might even be new DSi features too.

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 7:18 AM

Ah! I also called something else! If you can see the trees in violet are different front those in new bark. So if they do change then..
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z266/ocweeklycrew/colbertCalledIt.jpg
Anyway is that violet? I cannot make out where the hell that is.

Patatas Fritas May 12th, 2009 7:19 AM

Well first of, THE HOPPIP ART IS AWESOME! Secondly, I kinda dislike the girl, I prefered good old blue haired Crystal...

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 7:22 AM

Also is it me or will the interiors be 3D? Or am I just crazy and the FPV from FR/LG will be back but in 3D?

bobandbill May 12th, 2009 7:23 AM

So then... stuff I gathered from looking:

- Either a new female person, or it's another rival. Methinks the former though. APPARENTLY japanese says she will also have a filler role in the game, ala Dawn/Lucas, possibly. (Unless you choose her - than the male trainer gets this role). Meh - Silver >>>> Dawn/Lucas-like characters...
- Starter can follow you outside of New Bark town - well beyond it. Given the pic with NEP stand next to another Pichu...well, maybe other pokes can stand next to you?
- Team rocket person, it seems by Slowpoke Well. Also Kurt's house is shown, but no way to tell if apricorns are back or not.
- new 'choose the starter pokemon!' screen
- possible pokegear on bottom screen - IMHO, it is.
- NEP Pichu an event from movie in Ilex forest, ho hum.
- Ilex Shrine (to Celebi) back as well
- interesting screenshot not from the overworld in male trainer pic - underground? New area screen? Scene? EDIT: looks like Sprout Tower - they brought back pics of places from the player's POV from FR/LG, ho hum.

Ivysaur May 12th, 2009 7:24 AM

Hmm. I wish we could see Team Rocket's outfit more clearly in the third scan. The overall new art looks great.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 7:25 AM

I don't mind the new girl. As for the 3D call, it might possible be.



What is this new 3D Pokeball Machine on the right? <-- NVM, it just might have been the new pic to when choosing your starter xD. I'd also like to comment on the dark lighted picture on the left of Gold, looks interesting, if it is part of the game...

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 7:26 AM

No that is the first person view like in FR/LG bobandbill of the sprout tower.
And ah that is the new kurts house. Sweet. Also note that it is indeed the new girl and she has support roles like in DP. I cannot believe that Krobelus was right. I believe him. They are labelling this as remakes when really this is a whole new Johto. A whole new adventure. A whole new world.

Uh...screw that. The new girl looks like garbage. The hat is Friggin large, and she looks like she raided Super Mario's wardrobe.

also: neither was leaf a part of RGB, but looky here...

Quote:

The new Gold looks neat, I think as well...The new hat isn't as bad as I might have though.
Indeed, I was worried for nothing there :P

Artemis May 12th, 2009 7:31 AM

It's true that the girl from FRLG wasn't there in RBG/Y but that is because they only kept it as a boy for the first 2 Gens until Crystal came out...so they had to add a new girl at that time, to keep the new flow of things.

I realized they changed their pants for Gold, I prefer the loose fitted shorts, but I can deal with this...

We still don't know the whole plot of the game and most of the game as yet, so I don't think we can presume it is an entire new Johto as yet...

New gold. He is also awesome.New Ho-oh art is great. Also the Pichu's have an event?! Holy crapola. Sweet!
Wooo! Screenshots! So Pichu is in Ilex forest (with Platinum cloudiness), triple trading??, front on view of sprout tower, and an unidentified building (those are in reverse order on the pics I've shown. Plus, the new girl is NOT good. I don't like the hat, and I WANT CRYSTAL! Waaaaaaa!!!!

Zelda May 12th, 2009 7:34 AM

I am actually glad they put the girl in there because many people would not like it if they could only be a boy.

Anyways as for this new theory of pictures, it leads to many mysteries. The starter was not in the picture so that either means it doesn't follow you for long or you can have other pokemon follow you.

Psyburn May 12th, 2009 7:37 AM

Its prolly before you become a trainer, because in the original, you only borrowed it for protection. So yeah...

It seems to me that for the event that the shiny pichu unlocks only does your starter not follow. This will surely be great. And I mean that it will be in game all the time.

bobandbill May 12th, 2009 7:41 AM

Starter can be seen in screenshots following you in Azeala Town, so yes, it does follow you for more time than the predicted 'up-to-egg-giving' theory.

I like a lot of this...but admittedly, not so much the female person - looks decent enough, but hope then she doesn't take too much focus away from Silver. Crystal's looked better, IMO, and news that according to japanese text in the scans, the person you don't choose has a support role in the game and becomes kinda like Dawn/Lucas... =/ Well, I'm not their greatest fans, is all, personality-wise and so forth. Of course, the could make the support-characters better this time around...hoping that's the case?

We shall see!

Spinosaurus May 12th, 2009 7:44 AM

I dont know why there's people Who doesnt like the new female,Yes Crystal maybe is better But The new one isnt bad,her hat suits her well and I actully think its better For Nintendo To put her instead.

Its too bad they didnt show Totodile's OW sprite,But im still wondering about wheres The starter in the Pichu event? Maybe its a cutscene? Maybe The starter cant follow you if they evolve?
But in Platinum in the amity square even if the starters evolve,you still see their OW.

I asked a similar question regarding Dawn and started a war. Lets not ask this time [/biased] :P

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 7:48 AM

Yeah exactly. Also am I the only one who is thinking whoever she is she must be related to the ranch? But then gold wouldn't exactly be either so thats out. Anyway you can tell by the build thats a Poke-Gear.
Also is it me or does the girl have a bulge in her pants were gold should? XD

GFA May 12th, 2009 7:51 AM

That is not Crystal. As for Gold, he looks pretty similar.

GFA May 12th, 2009 7:55 AM

Actually, I changed my mind, it is Crystal, look what they did to Blue AKA Leaf in the FrLg manga

Im still wondering xD

I notice that Gold has a new Pants,The old one was actully better.
Though im actully wondering What Team Rocket looks like In DS,The picture with the "New" Gold showes in the left a picture if three Pokeballs in a machine,Starters? Looks like it,and in the Right theres a picture of 2 Bellsprout stones,Probebly the Sprout Tower,Theres also in the Top picture a Building,Im wondering if its The Sprout Tower(I dont remember the name) Or the Apricon guy's House(What wa his name again?xD)

billi1000 May 12th, 2009 8:07 AM

wow simply, i love the lugia and ho oh art simply stunning much nicer than the previous ones, horray the pokegear is still our and it looks magnificant!!!

GunSaberSeraph May 12th, 2009 8:11 AM

I told all of you that there would be an early leak.

-Gold still looks pretty much the same with a new outfit, so I don't mind.

-I'm a little disappointed that they changed the female trainer(Crystal looked better in my opinion) but it's not that big of a deal, I figured something like this would happen, and I'm happy to play through Johto again.

-The First person intro to the sprout tower looks cool

-I'm loving the new area screenshots

-Mareep's new Sugimori! I LOVE IT!!!!!

thelaytonmobile May 12th, 2009 8:16 AM

someone was wondering if Cut would be in, and it obviously is. I mean, I expected it to be in, but i guess you can't be certain till you really know. And as for the girl, earlier, I said I hated her (not personally... lol). At first, I didn't like Dawn, but now I like Dawn as well. I could get used to her. But still... that hat... and no Crystal...

GunSaberSeraph May 12th, 2009 8:25 AM

I kind of feel bad for the new female character because I know that people across the Internet will hate her for replacing Crystal.

Psyburn May 12th, 2009 8:29 AM

I wouldn't have too much beef if she was better designed...

Red's Redesign wasn't bad because he didn't look ridiculous. Lucas turned out worse in platinum. Crystal...idk wth they did with her.

bobandbill May 12th, 2009 8:29 AM

I won't mind her too much if they make her an interesting character in the game, seeing as according to what people read from the text in coro (on serebii so assuming true for now) she'll have a similar support-like role to what Dawn/Lucas had... (btw I'm choosing the guy character as I am...well, a guy XD). I like Silver the best in all of the main handheld the games not because of his looks, but what he did and how he acted. And that he had character development and what-not. That's the main thing I'm looking for, and frankly as long as Silver isn't wrecked/overshadowed by the support character too much, I don't mind so much.

Glaceon_ May 12th, 2009 8:29 AM

Well this is very unfortunate... =( Though at least the female character still looks good. But I don't see what the problem was with using Crystal. I mean, it is a remake, after all... unless they plan on having her somewhere else, as an NPC? Thankfully, it isn't game-breaking. Though we have a new female character, we can still hope that with the exception for a few very likely minor changes, the Johto we all know and love will remain the same. =)

As for the Pokemon art, save for Wobbuffet, (the only Johto Pokemon I hate with the fiery passion of Ho-oh's Sacred Fire) it all looks really awesome. I particularly like the Ho-oh art. I'm looking forward to seeing more as time progresses. ^^

thelaytonmobile May 12th, 2009 8:30 AM

Those entry pics (well, just sprout tower) look good. they were actually one of the little cool things in FR/LG, adding a little sense of where you were. Mind you, in FR/LG they all looked kinda similar. But with the way the game is made with all bright colours, they help add atmosphere. So, it's one of the little things that I am glad to see return.

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 8:35 AM

Could it be this new girl IS Crys? They never were consistant with her hair color when it came to the Manga. I mean it was brown then blue then brown then blue and now possibly and permanently brown. But the Manga doesn't affect much but you never know..

But the new female Is Thinner and well....Shorter? 0_o

Anyway they should Showed us Silver though.Maybe in the next scan?

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 8:42 AM

True. I'm just posting crazy talk. Anyway the new gold looks great compared to the old one. It seems like he did have the zipper back then but still I called zipper to be more visible

thelaytonmobile May 12th, 2009 8:44 AM

Well, she does have a similar hairstyle to Crystal, just not colour. However, her clothes are not at all similar (I think). And does anyone know what the text says?

Percy Thrillington May 12th, 2009 8:52 AM

Not sure what to think about the girl in the first scan. Perhaps she's the redesigned character you play as, or maybe she's the third rival? They had Lucas and Dawn, so I don't see why they wouldn't use the ginger kid and her. Either way, her outfit isn't too awesome.

And the Pichu screenshot looks pretty cool. I'm guessing it's an event of some kind.

Also, the scans managed to prove that your starter does indeed follow you around. Don't know whether to be happy or sad about that.

Great scans, thanks for providing us with them.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 8:55 AM

I say they took in some new ideas, old ideas, and used ideas and made this new girl in replace of Crystal. She's alright and she's not terrible...At least we can still say we are getting the remake after 10 years since the originals.+

Sept. 11th not a bad release date for Japan, as I expect it might hit the US in March or April once again. Perhaps late February is things go right for them.

Seeing that the other character that we don't choose will have some supporting role is pretty nice, I wonder if it will affect the storyline in anyway. I think it would be pretty cool if they made her some Contest Girl...Give her some kind of career other than some aid or assistance to the Prof. or whoever.

Skateboard, er why can't it replace the bike? I think it's a cool idea an dI'm looking to hear more about it. Along with the extended WiFi features.

She is indeed a new character and she will indeed add the 3 players in game thing of DPPt. Just if you are a girl neo-gold will take that spot. I love her outfit except for the ood bulge in her pants. XD
It is indeed an event. Seems to me its unlocked through the event Pichu like unown lord and I guessed.
I will be very happy as this could mean interaction. Oh and rocket grunts laughing at your weak look while having a 6 foot neck on fire marsupial grunting angrily next you.That alone is worth the game.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 9:08 AM

Having the Pichu as a side event will be fun. I'm hoping the adventure with that will be pretty epic. If they make the Pikachu Colored Pichu capturable, then all the better.

Zelda May 12th, 2009 9:11 AM

A Pichu side event would be pretty cool. These news are going to be bringing up many new theories.

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 9:13 AM

The pichu side event though is only if you have the pichu from the movie. And anyway that forest changed big time. You can tell its not the same. Also no headbutt trees. Oh well. I just want to see how big hat over there is going to look in Dppt format.

The girl sprite, they still haven't shown it as yet, so I too am wondering how she'll look. I'm hoping to see scans in the midst of a wild or trainer battle soon, so we'll see if they change anything with that.

The Pichu event might be available for the remake in the US once the 12th movie is out and they hold it as an event most likely.

EDIT: ^In the scan it is hard to tell if it was the Notch Eared Pichu or not, but we'll see over time.

BassFace May 12th, 2009 9:20 AM

My first response to the new female character was "What the heck? Who's she?"

But I agree, it does make sense when you think about it. The original Gold and Silver games did not have a female character. While it seems somewhat appropriate at first to take the female character from Crystal, it also seems unfitting in a way, because this is a remake of Gold/Silver, not of Crystal. The character Crystal did not exist in the original Gold/Silver, so it isn't fitting to include her in the remakes.

Yeah, I was a bit turned off at first at the introduction of a totally new character, but I think I actually like the new female character they've made. I'm just glad that there actually will be a female player character in this game - I was kind of afraid they'd make this a true remake and only allow you to play as a male character.

I think I'll like having her/him as a support character, because that means all of Elm's starters get their own trainers. I'm assuming that in the case of my own game file, Silver would have Totodile, Gold would have Chikorita, and the unnamed female character (who'd I'd be playing as) would have Cyndaquil. It'll be interesting to see what default names they give these characters in the English releases...

Volkner's Apprentice May 12th, 2009 9:22 AM

If you look really closely, in the image underneath Wobbuffet, looks like it's Croconaw's sprite and not Totodile following him (could be wrong.) But if so, I'm hoping you do have the option of having them follow you around. Some places it would be fun, others...kind of obnoxious.

Still, awesome pics! Thanks for posting these. I'm psyched to be the new Gold dude ;)

Sweet Smoochum May 12th, 2009 9:29 AM

She's not replacing Crystal, because it's not a Crystal remake. It's a Gold and Silver remake. (They didn't have a girl in GS.) I actually like her outfit. It's something new, and it's not a skirt. (It reminds me of Italy for some reason like DPP clothes reminded me of France. At first I didn't like Dawn's outfit, but then I liked it better in the sprite. Hopefully the sprite of this new girl looks nicer than the artwork.) Besides, if you don't like this new girl, then play as the boy trainer. I'm happy they made an attempt to create new character. I'm playing as the girl character.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 9:33 AM

Making attemps to do something is sometimes great, and sometimes disappointing, but to me I see them trying something new, which isn't bad at all. They've added a lot of great new imporvements to the game, and I for one am certainly happy they waiting to remake this game for the DS w/ some DSi features we might see, rather than for the GB Advance SP...It gives the game a lot more variety after watching these new scans.

JP May 12th, 2009 9:50 AM

It looks ****ing great!!! I'm confused as to why there's a new girl, seems odd not having Crystal. But overall, I'm way overjoyed with everything! I CANT WAAAAIIIIITT!!!

Like I stated before and other stated after...They might have chosen to add in a new female character over Crystal because :

- In the original, there was no female, and Crystal came after in Crystal Version. Therefore, to keep it close to the original GS instead of adding some girl who came after, they could have added a new original female character to go with it. It makes sense, seeing as Crystal originiated in Crystal Version and not GS.

Well technically she is the 3rd female to do so. First is Crys then Saph then Soul(?). And I love how its overalls of all things. She kinda looks like Mario.

World King May 12th, 2009 9:57 AM

What the...? Who's she? =O A Crystal replacement? Or a new girl to add since in the Original GS games, we only had the choice of a male character? For Arceus' sake, at least give Crystal some epic cameos in this game. Also, they better make the new girl one heck of an interesting character, too. Well, as long the remaining changes are minor, I'll enjoy this game like the first time I got my hands on Silver.

And speaking of which, one thing I expect to remain untouched is that red-haired epic kid (Giovanni's Kid, to be exact), Silver. Silver's personality and actions are what made him one of my favorite characters of all time, so if they ruin him by changing something that isn't his updated art in this game, we're having serious trouble, Nintendo!

Finally, I'll only say one thing about these new HGSS pics...

New Lugia art PWNS!!! =D Lugia PWNs you all! xD

Yeah, I posted as soon as I saw the pictures, didn't see your post. And although it makes sense, it would have made just as much sense to have Crystal since she is that generation's female player, even if she didn't appear in G/S, she appeared in Crystal. Don't get me wrong though, I'm loving that they added a new character and she does look cool, it just seems random to me. And like someone else said, the style also reminds me of Italy compared to P/D/Dt's France-ish style, and it looks just as great.

Netto Azure May 12th, 2009 10:04 AM

\o/

NEW SCANS! ZOMG!!!

Anyways I am hoping that it's Crys. Or somehow the PokeSpe Manga author makes her have Dyed hair or something. XD

CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR!!!!

I hoped that Gold would have longer pants this time but eh...it seems he likes "exploring." ;D

Hmm...I hope the Pichu thing will be on Wi-Fi or something. D:

ReyRey-Pyon May 12th, 2009 10:06 AM

The new heroine is so cute <3
I kinda miss Kris, but its all good :>

Her name might be Heart or Soul 8O!!! <3 since the new girl in FRLG was named Leaf
i like that, Gold, Silver and Heart, C:

Åzurε May 12th, 2009 10:07 AM

Uh, Crystal is kind of an alternate timeline, if you get me. like diamond, pearl and platinum, it shows different facets or a retelling of the same story. So, Crystal does not come after G/S

Also:

Crysta Blade May 12th, 2009 10:36 AM

Hero looks like Lucas in the face.

As for new girl, she could be Kris for all we know. Look at Red's design from Gen 1 and compare it to FR/LG. Barely any resemblence. Same with the art for the unused R/G/B heroine (Blue from the comic is based on the design) and her FR/LG art. Similar hair colour and that's it. Hey, it could be happening here, with the pigtails and all. Still, I miss the blue hair. =(

Artemis May 12th, 2009 10:45 AM

The first person view is a great touch and comeback for the game. I'm glad they did it, and I would like to see more of it sometimes.

Virtual Chatot May 12th, 2009 11:23 AM

Is that a Cyndaquil I see there? :D

Yes that is Cyndaquil and its spriting as OW. Not bad as far as I can tell.

CollinP May 12th, 2009 11:28 AM

my thoughts are boldes and u-lined


New girl! She looks awesome or what!
(I'm Gonna Miss Krystle, But this one is ok to)
New gold. He is also awesome.Updated arts are most certainly updated and evenly awesome. (is that a totodile with a trunk or a phanphy?)
i like what i'm seeing, but..... will i have to have a DSI to play this if there is a camera? maybe it's like to take pictures inside the game (sorta pokemon snap styled)

Flex_S May 12th, 2009 11:39 AM

I like the look of the Pokegear, but i'm a bit concerned about the Girl following you around like Dawn from D/P/Pt. She's probably gonna do the whole "follow me and don't go anywhere until you know everything about pokemon basics, even if you've played the Pokemon games before."

Also I don't like the new Lanky, Skinny, Gold.

I thought Red's FR/LG design was pretty close to how he looked in the original games. It's not as close as Gold's, but you could certainly tell who he was.

The only similarity I can find with this girl is the pigtails. I can't see any other similarities at all.

Zeph. May 12th, 2009 11:55 AM

I hope to God that you can eventually travel to Kanto in theese games. That'd be shweeeeeet!

.inLOVE May 12th, 2009 12:02 PM

I'll miss Kris, but the new female trainer is cute.

The screens look awesome, I really like the one with Slowpoke's Well. Now I know Team Rocket will be in there for sure.

Maybe it's just me then. *shrugs*

Anyway, she'd look closer to the original if she had blue hair.

While I'm here, new PokéGear looks more like a mobile phone.

Oh, and it's great the other player will be in a supporting role. I was very annoyed they didn't do this in FR/LG. Plus, this will give them a chance to, you know, actually have a personality.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 12:07 PM

Team Rocket, I want more pics of them in this game. The tails are so important to keep, and I'm glad they did...or else they would simply be taking away some of that originality.

If they colored the new girl with blue hair, then some of her clothing would have to be changed in color as well, or else it wouldn't have looked to right.

La Foudre May 12th, 2009 12:19 PM

My first reaction was "dsfiljsafsda!" Cause I really just got Krys to grow on me.. and now this. Dx But now, the new girl's starting to grow on me. I wanna see her over world sprite.

Red Rain May 12th, 2009 12:25 PM

Miltank's new art is just excellent. Couldn't have got better for my favourite Pokemon. Well done Ken! The skateboard idea and new Pokegear seem cool, as does the new girl. I didn't expect a new one. She looks cool though.

Now I would be a little annoyed if Headbutt trees were removed. In a way, it's kind of like removing Whirlpool, it was a cool part of the game and an element to Johto not seen anywhere else. Not that I dislike Honey Trees, but I don't want them in Johto.

Btw, there was supposed to be a hint at Kanto in the Johto map. Where is this map?

Lukar May 12th, 2009 12:29 PM

I wish they had simply used a slightly altered version of Crystal, to be honest. The new female character looks butt-ugly. I'm not one of those people who hate anything that's changed, I'm being serious. I'd rather gauge my eyes out with a fork than even touch her.

Zelda May 12th, 2009 12:34 PM

Wasn't Crystal, Marina from the anime? It's kind of cool that there is a new girl. At least this time it really isn't based off of someone from the anime.

Tuskin May 12th, 2009 12:35 PM

It looks like they made a new way to get to the well

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w306/Tuskin38/newway.jpg

Plus, this guy doesn't look like Totodile (Croconaw perhaps?)

Pyrax May 12th, 2009 12:36 PM

I like the new Pokégear design aswell as Larvitar's new bad*** art.
It's going to take some time to get used to the new ''Kris''
Plus I like the 3d art of the Sprout Tower.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 12:40 PM

Looking at the post before the one above mines, as I look at the following starter, it does resemble Croconaw. The more red spikes on the back bring it to appear so. The Team Rocket are back and I'm glad...now to see their sprite in battle, which will hopefully come in time, I'm sure.

Zelda May 12th, 2009 12:45 PM

Team Rocket is back, this is good.

That starter sprite, looking at it closely it does sort of look like Croconaw. Maybe your starter will still be by your side even when it evolves. I wish there was a more clearer picture of it though.

Shem May 12th, 2009 12:55 PM

well, I have to say, I'm not too enthused about the new costume+new girl, I like his old costume, he used to look like a tough bad-ass. Now he looks like another lil kid. And the female character looks RETARDED! BUT, i can live with these changes as long as they don't mess with the story.

Tuskin May 12th, 2009 12:56 PM

These need to be scanned with an Actual scanner.

And why is that?

I agree that even if there is something added that I may not like in the future news, I still will be pleased as long as it keeps close to the original storyline. For now, I'm content with the latest news that I've heard about so far.

Tuskin May 12th, 2009 1:08 PM

Better Quality, it would be clearer.
