One subtle, but definite change...
Since HGSS will most likely run off the DS's clock (like DPPt), there won't be a function to change the time zone, since you can just do that on the DS itself. That means that you can't trigger phone calls like you could on the Game Boy Color (if anybody recalls this minor glitch). That, in turn, means that it'll be harder to get rematches with trainers, unless they keep the Vs. Seeker.
A bit annoying, since G/S were the first games to refight trainers not in the Elite Four. |
The VS. Seeker made its appearance in the originals' remake, FR/LG, so it may make a return here.
|
Yeah, so either they work around the glitch and still allow trainers to call for a rematch, or they might put in the Vs. Seeker like they did with FRLG and DPPt.
|
They'll probably include the phone, but trainers won't call you for rematches. You'll probably end up using the VS Seekers after all.
|
If they use the VS. Seeker over the phone, then the phone will be changed for use by important events. Though, I strongly think that GameFreak will stick to Phone and keep it like the original.
|
Maybe they could make the Vs. Seeker a function of the Pokégear?
|
I just want to mention Emerald's Match Call feature in the Pokenav. It could work like that where all you'd have to do is walk between the boundaries separating routes, other routes, and cities from each other several times to try and find a rematch.
|
I never really liked the match call device, I mean yes it was great, but Vs. Seeker is a lot better to me. Though, it can go either way really with this, but I'm hoping they stick more the how they had it in the original version; just to keep it simple anyway.
|
I honestly see no problem with keeping the original phone system, and would almost prefer it that way. The VS. Seeker required the trainer actually being nearby, and would be wasted if none of the trainers were actually ready to battle again.

I tink they should use the VS Seeker. or they could just make it so trainers want a rematch sooner
|
Why can't they just make the Phone=Match Call?
IMO, Match Call is way more reliable and easy to use than VS seeker, but that's just me. |
Mostly I liked being able to rebattle gym leaders, but yeah.
|
Well I think that's fine really. I used to get by fine with wild Pokemon, and besides, the trainers who usually wanted rematches weren't very impressive pokemon trainers..
|
If they DO put the Vs Seeker back in, they shouldn't screw you by making you walk 100 steps before using it again. :/
|
They put in the recharge steps so you don't continuously battle over and over again, they give a little stand by inbetween them. Also, match call idea isn't so smart, because having to wait to find out when trainers are ready to challenge you kind of got me annoyed. I prefer the Vs. Seeker over it.

You have a reason for everything I find wrong dont you? :P
I dont see the flaw in the factor battling over and over again unless this overloads the game or w/e. |
Well battling over and over again would be for those people who need some training to get done. Unless of course with the Vs. Seeker, that specific trainer doesn't want to rebattle you again. You could always try a new trainer though.
|
Maybe you can occasionally ask for a battle through the call system this time?
|
Well I guess you could call and see if they want to battle or not.
I wouldn't mind having both Match Call and Vs. Seeker though. |
have a pokegear rebattle detector

The phone just pissed me off.
I DON'T CARE if Picnicker Heather just caught a Clefairy and it's sooooo cute or whatever. And hell if that's actually her name. |
If they keep the phone, it probably won't be the real-time that triggers the calls. Siiince that would screw over the feature.. xD; I think if people call you, it'll be triggered the same way the NPC events are. Like, when you walk into a certain area, or leave a certain location. Still, prefer the VS Seeker to the phones, really.. :/ At least they can't send you annoying phone calls with the Seeker.
