HeartGold/SoulSilver site opens! Image overhaul.
 
So the main site opened today. I am posting this thread to comment on all the pictures that have been put up and all. Sorry if this seems useless as some interesting stuff is shown

First is this lovely piece of art from the backround. The new gym is great and all. Also it seems every town and city has their own special asthetic to the PC and Mart. Lovely.Johto is fresh and new in many ways to explore!
All the characters are shown. Elm has such a nice lab. And the slowpokes have no tails. Oh well.


Ho-oh and Lugia Appear!

Touch my menu baby.

So many fun places to explore with your Pokemon!
And the site itself:

Again sorry if this is not needed

sudden_hit June 15th, 2009 3:01 AM

Wow, just wow...

Some of the art is fantastic. This is making so much more anticipant of the game :L

Suppose this can be a discussion thread for the site for now (it is new and I'm sure people want to talk about it, given people's discussions on other forums on it), as well as discussion on the pictures and so forth revealed from it.

I do say, the background for the site is very nice, there.

Major points of interest - look at Goldenrod, and you'll notice a giant tower to the west side of it - it does appear to be past the Radio Tower (hence the 'path' one could see leading from it in the screenshot/video). I'll hazard a guess towards a GTS tower. Notice also the part above Cianwood.

(Yay the forums are up soon enough I migth as well update the new images and stuff into the info thread)

Ryanniny June 15th, 2009 3:34 AM

woah
thanks for the link/info :)
the females o/w sprite looks well cool!
and i take it that the one you don't choose gets a marill
i think the kimono girls dance theatre thingy looks amazing!
it actually looks authentic, and it really sticks out compared to the other buildings
i like the looks of the pokecenter/mart
and despite the fact i can't understand a word of what this website says, I LOVE IT :D.

zirico June 15th, 2009 3:40 AM

This is amazing, the new gyms PC's and PM's are gonna rock. Aaaaaaaah I'm so exited. i can new areas on the map that look awesome. i think the map pretty much confirms Kanto because of how far it goes past new bark. This game rulezzzzz :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :cer_tongue::cer_tongue::cer_tongue: The tower west of goldenrod does look interesting and it would seem appropriate for the GTS to be in goldenrod.

Sweet Smoochum June 15th, 2009 3:53 AM

New Girl sprite=Adorable, better than I thought. Like the Marill. Love the hat.
Professor Elm sprite=So cute. <3 Cutest Prof. (IMO.)
Cherrygrove Town=Gorgeous. Wish I lived there. XD
All the screens=10000000000000000000000/10.
Love the new lab, the Pokemon overworlds (especially Teddiursa. So cute!), Ruins of Alph, Slowpoke Well, battle with rival, New Bark town, all the screen shots, I love. The new tall grass is really nice.
Mareep Sprite=Cuteness. I adore it. ^_^
I really like how they incorporated more use of the touch screen. I also like how the trainer is actually wearing the bag instead of only showing the bag.
Ho-Oh and Lugia in game images=Epic Win. They went all out. I love those! :D
I like Silver's sprite and Gold's back sprite. So adorable. And Silver is smiling. :)
The artwork for Ecruteak looks gorgeous. It's so beautiful.
I also like the artwork for all of Johto. This game is very intriguing. I'm so excited over this game. (I've never been so excited over any other game in my entire life.)
The dance theater looks so pretty. :D

Thank you so much for posting these images, Todoroki Is! Thank you!!! ^_^

WindBlows June 15th, 2009 3:54 AM

Just bravo Nintendo, bravo!

Ivysaur June 15th, 2009 3:59 AM

gummybarz June 15th, 2009 4:07 AM

Great find, Does serebii even have this info yet? Anyways i love how the way they
re did silver's tranier sprite. And also the new girl. Nice to see there showing here overworld now.

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 4:09 AM

This is hilarious. In game silver wears all black not black and blue and his hair isn't Mar's like.

Yes. In fact, serebii had them before Todoroki posted them here, as I think PC was down or something. -_- Todoroki must have been waiting to post this thread =P

Now...this is a somewhat interesting speculation of sorts on the new Johto map:

The clouds in Platinum happened to had covered up the Battle Frontier - so now people are asking about the clouds there. TBH, I'm always a bit...'eh' on drawing on such things, but then there is the fact that in Crystal, there was a Battle Tower right where that cloud had been... hmm. Take it as you will, I suppose - but we do know of Goldenrod's new Tower and Cianwood's new area at least - not behinding behind clouds, those two.

About an hour or so actually.

zirico June 15th, 2009 5:06 AM

One of the grunts in slowpoke well has green hair, dya' think this is important, maybe new ranks such as commanders or even more grunt sprites. i dont recall there being an admin in it.

Vie June 15th, 2009 5:11 AM

pretty pictures. I can't wait to see lugia. :3
soulsilver ftw.

bobandbill June 15th, 2009 5:15 AM

Apparently, there are now claims that after some translations, there is confirmation that both Ho-oh and Lugia can be found in each game. Might need a spot more confirmation however?

Vie June 15th, 2009 5:19 AM

um..I might be wrong, but I think there was the possibility in the old ones to catch both too...or was it crystal? hm.

Wasn't lugia and ho-ho catchable in the old G/S?

Yes, you could catch them in the old games (and in GS as well, not just Crystal). There was some doubt over it though as people thought now they might stick to just one per game, but it seems to be confirmed to be this way now. Which was what I guessed it'd turn out to be (making Whirl Islands or the Tin Tower worthless as a result of not doing it just seems too fishy).

"Shadow Lugia" June 15th, 2009 5:25 AM

I love the art or Ecruteak, and I'm a bit curious it there will actually be that many buildings there in-game. I'm also wondering about those towers (look a bit like command posts) in Mahogany.

Map observations:
-Looks like Kanto has been confirmed, since the western part of Route 22 can be seen on the map.
-I'm curious about the new tower, but I just hope it doesn't overshadow the good old Radio Tower
-I was REALLY suprised with what happened newar Cianwood. I was expecting a new area, but certainly not one this big
-THE TRAIN TRACKS RUN THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS!

I'm still trying to be cautiously optimistic, but it's hard when everything we've seen so far has been amazing.

Wish June 15th, 2009 5:26 AM

Do I spot the Bullet train which connects Goldenrod and Saffron on the Johto overhead map? I guess this would show proof that there would be a Kanto region included in the game.

EDIT: Got beat.

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 5:27 AM

I think the new tower is the true radio tower and the smaller one is just like offices or something.

If that's true, then why couldn't Gamefreak have put it where the old one was?

I have a feeling it's something new. Perhaps a Global Terminal or where to go for Pokemon Contests?

Because they would want it to look mysterious overshadowing the small version? I dunno too small a map to see properly. I am still waiting for the wallpaper version Gamefreak give it!

You make an interesting find here actually, and I see what you mean. It is definitely peculiar on how they would do that to that area in Johto specifically. However, seeing as it was done to the Platinum map as well, then we may having something coming at us. I'd expect if it was a new Battle Tower or even Battle Frontier, then we might not hear about it until closer the the release of the games. Though, it interests me now on what may be held there. Also, that large Gold Colored sky, it really catches my eye. Anyway, there may possibly be something there. If you look at the image some more, not much land areas are covered in clours, except for that speicif spot where we do get to enter, so I'd keep an eye out for news there in the future.

You are right, both Lugia and Ho-Oh were obtainable in all three games together. Seeing as how nicely done the images are done with Lugia and Ho-Oh in their respective places, it may just note how each location is needed. Not to mention, their body being there means the game makers haven't been forgotten and may possible come back together in both versions. Not to mention, if they want to keep anything exclusive, that is basically what Kyogre and Groudon are doing.

Overall, images are so much in better quality. The new features shown for the remakes are a plus. The map is very nice and with the way it expands to the East, Kanto may after all make another return. I did notice one Rocket member's hair have a green color, now I don't know if that could have been an error in the image or if it may be for something new, but we'll find out. The new female's OW sprite is nicely detailed and I like it alot. However, most people got what I needed covered, so I'll stop here and enjoy the new images and old at eye.

Honesty, I doubt they would make seperate building for an office and the Radio Tower. I do believe however that we may be seeing a new location in Goldenrod City. What it may be, I'm not to sure on. Though, I suspect either a Contest Hall as some have said or the Global Trace Station to be placed there as it would fit in quite well with a developed city such as this.

EDIT: I forget to mention, it seems as though they've kept the feeling feature from Pokémon Yellow. If you look at the image with Teddiursa, you will see a small smiling face above his OW sprite. I think that is a really nice thing to bring back as it lets us know how your Pokémon is doing. I'd think they would smile when fully healthy in HP, have no smile when in terms of organe/yellow HP, and then have a frowning face when low in HP. That was just a basic reference to how I think they would make it work now, but still very nice to have as it gives your Pokémon some sence of reality in nature.

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 5:46 AM

Ah both the birds are indeed in both games.

gummybarz June 15th, 2009 5:47 AM

Ok then i'll translate


On the first page with lugia and hoho it says:

The wild Pokemon appear, depending on the software in the same place, at the climax to his story, The Heart's HOUOU Gold, Silver, Seoul, the RUGIA, two dogs appeared legendary Pokemon! !

Another difference I have to find the legendary Pokemon Hall of Fame!



On the second page with gold and new girl it says:

JOUTO characters to travel to the region as Kimi's alter ego player. You can choose a boy and a girl!
選BANAKATTA more characters, the story appeared in supporting roles to the hero.



On second page with team rocket it says:


The rocket is a crime organization to use a different Pokemon!
The three that were thought to have dissolved years ago, work began again at the local JOUTO. Or are they in thee what! ?



On the third page with the starters it says:
The first partner

Partners will receive the first at the Institute of WAKABATAUN Pokemon adventure begins.
CHIKORITA, HINOARASHI, WANINOKO you can choose from three dogs!



On the thrid page with lugia and hoho it says:

Usually in this play could not get the legendary Pokemon RUGIA HOUOU the Silver and Gold Heart's in Seoul, FINALLY!
Moreover, after the Hall of Fame, they can also meet the other legendary Pokemon!
Kimi I can catch and RUGIA HOUOU! ?



On the third page with groundon, rayquaza and kyourge it says:

Hall of Fame after the meeting

After Hall of Fame will also be the coming of the legendary Pokemon!
Heart of Gold and Silver, Seoul, appear different in each of the legendary Pokemon, catch it, you'll also appear on the legendary Pokemon to bring in other software! !



On the 4th page with pics it says:

Below the screen allows intuitive operation than to call the menu button.
"Picture book" and "Pokemon" and "bag" items, such as easy to touch the screen! In addition, the box, dramatically increase the usability of the method adopted by the touch screen. The movement of Pokemon, the only touch operation, you can almost look like! !



On the 4th page with the poke gear it says:

Stylish red for boys, for girls are feeling pretty pink NOZU.



Hope this helps~



Mitchman June 15th, 2009 5:56 AM

Hmm in Ecruteak the lining is purple but in Mahogony light blue. Change for each type?

gummybarz June 15th, 2009 6:07 AM

I would also like to point out the touch screen, see it says "picture book". Would that mean you could some how take pictures with the DSI in the game?

Artemis June 15th, 2009 6:24 AM

http://i42.tinypic.com/156suop.jpg

Okay, it was being speculated whether or not the blue poles shown next to the lab were the same air vents for the Underground like Sinnoh, or whether or not they might have been lamp posts. However, after seeing these images, I noticed a tall, gray, and thin pole more towards the back of the image [bordered in red]. I would believe this is a light post, meaning the blue vents [bordered in black] may indeed be air vents to the underground. So, with this being said I would think the underground feature from DPPt, might just be brought back to the remakes. Now, this is just basic speculation, but the way I see it, we just may have back the underground in Johto.

Sorry for the little distortion in the picture, it happens when you use a program like Paint. At least it is visible though ^_^.

Samme! June 15th, 2009 6:27 AM

WOW
-Ecruteak looks ABSOLUTELY AMMAAAZZZIIIINNNGGG! I love all of the cooler buildings :)

-Cherrygrove, Ruins of Alph, Slowpoke Well, Elm's Lab == SICK NASTY DUDE! they look so beutiful

-The Lugia and Ho-oh cut scenes are SOOOOO COOOOOOOOLLLLLL

-Lovin' the new Johto map!!!!!!
****What is that huge orange and yellow BLOB above ecruteak???
****And just an observation, the new area by Cianwood is separated into 6 distinct areas.....? strange

I never thought of it that way before. I do indeed hope they bring back the magnet train though..

Considering that we've seen the station, in addition to the tracks going through Johto as well as the mountains that border it and Kanto, I don't think you need to be worried about that.

About the tall white pole, that is a wind turbine type thing seen in the first video on pokemon sunday.

Oh, sorry about not adding the map page to.

On the map page it says:
Kimi WAKABATAUN live in a small town in rural JOUTO, the Pokemon from Pokemon expert Dr. deutzia a neighbor to get dogs off on an adventure. Various people, I have been waiting for Kimi and the Electric Horseman of Pokemon!

3 Cantho was active in the region years ago, with the organization doing evil Pokemon "The Rocket" was back in action again. They are企N what? Kimi had to get involved in an incident during the trip, I could dismiss the team rocket! ?

Actually it seems the marts will be different only. And the gyms in the Anime are radically different. This is just a color change to point out the type.

And the gyms look like they'll be having a different palette depending on the gym trainer, rather than being completely different buildings.

Torii. ;0;

The mart though will. The azalea mart has a flag instead of a sign(an old video showed a flag for it so yeah) and it was blue so possibly the color changes for each town and a flag is for town and sign for city?

Yes but if you noticed in the left hand corner all the way on top a blue flag with a Pokeball on it was there. That is the same place where the mart is.

Yes, it is the same feature from Amity Square. It's is very beneficial as it'll allow people to get berries and accessories seeing as we've got a little extra hint that contests may be back.

Also, I noticed the color in the gyms. Very nice touch and gives each Gym location something different other than the same appearance. The outlined color for each type suits and yes, you can say that it is influenced from the anime. Now, it isn't a large influence, but the anime portrays each gym to look different. I think they took that idea and made it into the remake. Overall, a nice feature, and I'd only wonder how nice the inside of each gym may be.

Anyway, I was overlooking some of the game pictures on Serebii. I believe I found Pikachu's new sprite for the game, and might I add, I don't really like it x_x.

http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pics.shtml

If you follow the link, you'll enter serebii's HGSS game images. Now, look for "Selecting Pikachu to send to the PokéWalker." It is the ninth link before last, and you'll notice Pikachu's new game sprite. I don't know what they were thinking, but Platinum's Sprite with Pikachu is a lot better in my opinion.

Anyway, it does give us a glimpse at how we'll be transporting one Pokémon from the game to enter the PokéWalker. It looks simple enough to understand and seeing as you need this new device to access Jirachi's event location in the game, then I might presume the PokéWalker may just hit outside of Japan as well.

No clue as yet, seeing as not much information is given about it. However, there are different thoughts about it, but I wouldn't expect any news until later on in future scans. Some think it may be a new area for the Battle Frontier, while others presume it may be a new park or Safari for Johto. We'll see what it turns out to be later down the line though.

You mean upper right?

Looks like it, althoug it isn't much of a tower with the Tin Tower right there.

Samme! June 15th, 2009 7:28 AM

Oops XD, yeah i meant upper right..

I hope that next week they will release the actual game play map.

Clover Cat June 15th, 2009 7:28 AM

Ah yes, Pikachu's new sprite...I don't like it. >.> I agree with you, flash, D/P/Pt were much better then this one.

But from the other pictures we can see the new girl...and the legendaries?! Oh wow, using 3D for their appearances, that's a new feature. Me like. ^^ And the fact that pokemon can follow other trainers is a nice touch. I wonder if this means you'll be able to see your rival's pokemon following him around? XD

Ryanniny June 15th, 2009 7:31 AM

i hate nintendo for releasing all these picture
it makes me so impatient for these games X___x
( i love nintendo really, and gamr ferak (L))
i'm so tempted to get a japanese import of this... its how impatient i am ;(
they just look incredible, and i hadn't noticed the changes on the gym buildings, i like that subtle touch :)
i wish the pokecenters would change slightly in looks from town to town though
cos in my mind, mahogany's PC would be like a log cabin :)
anyway these games look even better than the originals ;)
and a MASSIVE improvement from DPPt
though, i have a feeling the area west of Cianwood is the battle fronteir, because what else could take up such a huge area?!
and i have to agree that i think the new tower in goldenrod is gonna be a GTS.
either that or a contest hall.
ROLL ON NEXT YEAR :D

Ryanniny June 15th, 2009 7:36 AM

i like pikachu's new sprite :(
i think it looks cheeky :D & like its waving
i want to see more in-game sprites though

The Roshi June 15th, 2009 7:37 AM

Wow this is simply stunning. I never really got into the artsy pictures in previous games. But ecruteak seriously looked amazing! One guy talked about the clouds covering up the Battle Frontier, so what's that new area in Cianwood? I guess it doesn't make sense that cianwood would host a battle frontier anyways. Maybe it's like a new facility? Who knows, but this game seriously looks like the best pokemon game ever.

I think these producers are smart though. They turned GSC into a legacy by making is so expansive and innovative, number 1. And number 2, they never remade it when some people (like me) were expecting them to -- in gen III. Cap it by making not only the region, but it's pokemon some what elusive and you have a legend!

I fell for it, and I can't wait to get this game @[email protected]!

EDIT: Is that one screenshot saying we can now use the bottom screen for the pokemon boxes and menus?

Ice Path is a standard cave in a standard mountain range.

I see, I just never knew Mt. Silver was icy. Thanks. Also Mt. Mortar seems small.

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 7:38 AM

The new area next to Cianwood City seems to be human made and all. Possibly evolution area for the different stuff like the moss rock ice rock magnetic field and such?

ah yeah
that'd be really cool!
either that or they'll just include these at random points in the story
Moss rock in ilex forest, electric field in mt mortar, and icy rock in ice cave. (i think thats its name)
and i can't think of the other specific ones?

jakeandhissuperdogsam!! June 15th, 2009 8:11 AM

Blantantly Obviously Pal Park

I'm sorry, but how can nobody else notice this? What else do we know (from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) that has six areas of different terrain. Yes. The Pal Park. And is that a desert above Ecruteak?

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 8:14 AM

If I had a dime for everytime the Enju Trees were called a desert or orange mist today I would be rich.

billi1000 June 15th, 2009 9:02 AM

now thats some thing we can use as a news source, hopefully it will update regularly, this way we wont have to wait for corocoro to come out or pokemon sunday to air to get he good peices of info, about the sprites, ya well 2 new sprites in clear resolution came out (pikachu, mareep) well just hope we can compile a reasonable amount of sprites before the games are released in september, well ya it seems there's a new tower in Goldenrod, just imagine wat it could be...

Look to the left of Cianwood and do you see an area resembling a battle frontier of sorts?

Jorah June 15th, 2009 9:38 AM

The artwork for Ecruteak looks so beautiful! It's really amazing. And it's great that we can finally use the touchscreen for the menu, I find it pretty annoying having to use the buttons now. Pikachu's sprite looks all right, it looks cute but it looks a bit boring, too. It kind of makes it look a bit generic.

Yeah, they are really trying to make the new 3D appearance come to the DS. I would say it needs some more work on, but seeing it is a first try to portray the character and his/her bag in the 3D style, it is pretty good. I forsee this being extended to future Pokémon games as well. Almost everything about this game however is very refreshing and all so new compared to the original. Even though it is different, it hasn't altered the storyline which is a plus.

It is hard to see, as it is being overshadowed by a large cloud. Like said, something that was done to the Platinum Map when the Battle Frontier was coming, but we'll see what it ends up turning into. It makes me wonder though, if it is a new Battle Frontier will it be the same as Platinum or will it be its own. If it is the same as Platinum it'll be kind of odd seeing as Johto and Sinnoh run at the same timeline and people really cannot be in two places at the same time.

You make a good point. Looking back at DPPt and seeing this now, it makes the buttons look old fashioned in a way. I mean, right now, it looks a little confusing on how it may all be used, but still, it is all so new and neat looking that it makes you think how much better suited it is.

Mitchman June 15th, 2009 10:06 AM

If a frontier were to be added, next to Olivine is the most logical area and the cloud being there supports that theory.

Kyledove June 15th, 2009 10:12 AM

How come the girl has a marill following her? Surely it should be [Totodile]? I'll be really sad if the third starter doesn't get used again! poor lonely pokeball.

Ineffable~ June 15th, 2009 10:12 AM

Holy crap, I almost peed myself when I saw this!!!!!! (But I didn't. That's the important thing.)
Let's speculate about Johto here... The area north and west of Cianwood City... everyone thinks it's a Battle Frontier, but it may be something much more sinister... As for that mist there, it most likely is the true Battle Frontier. And the tower to west of Goldenrod? Hard to tell, really. Maybe a Battle Tower (hope not, as I want a Frontier), maybe the new Radio Tower, maybe a tower to catch another legendary (?), maybe contests, maybe something brand new! :o And... yeah... I AM ECSTATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samme! June 15th, 2009 10:13 AM

I'm still puzzled about what the area to the left of Cianwood is...? It doesn't look like it would be a battle frontier because you can't see any prominent buildings... Do you think it could be like a Safari Zone of some sorts? It looks as if it has different types of land split up into 6 sections......... And then there are those 2 parallel rivers......

Ineffable~ June 15th, 2009 10:20 AM

Yeah, at first I thought it was a Battle Frontier, but then I didn't really see any buildings, so... yep, the mist is the Battle Frontier, or possibly a Safari Zone. If the mist is a Battle Frontier, the big Cianwood area is the Safari Zone. I think the latter is a much more likely option. I mean, the mist could be a Safari Zone, but then the tower west of Goldenrod would have to be the Battle Tower, and the big Cianwood area would have to be Pal Park... and that's not very fun or space-consuming...

Samme! June 15th, 2009 10:23 AM

The only thing is that I really don't believe that there will be a Pal Park because many people now have the DSi and since that there is no GBA cartridge thingy then many wouldn't be able to transfer there pokemon over from another game.

i dunno, i thought that.
but maybe the character you don't choose will have a different pokemon
if you choose chikorita, they get marill
if you choose cyndaquil, they get sunkern
if you choose totodile, they get slugma
they're just ideas, cos i think its too early to make an educated guess.
i suggested them 'mons cos they're all 2-stage families, which i based off the marill.

edit: i fail, the marill family has 3 stages.
so maybe it'll be hoppip or oddish, and magby? :S

Lol, the thing is Hoppip, Oddish, and Magby all have three stages in evolution too. Anyway, it is a little too early to assume if she may get the extra starter. I do admit though, it should be taken by her instead of it being left alone for someone else to steal. Although, the new female may have one of the starters, but the game makers probably chose not to show it as her following partner. They could either have done this to allow the player to know that any Pokémon besides their starter may follow them, or simply because they chose to add a difference. However, I suggest we leave that be until later on. It is interesting on how they chose to show Marill though, but we'll see how the game plays out with the new female being a supporting role.

Ineffable~ June 15th, 2009 10:49 AM

Well, the Marill family has three stages, but one of them is Azurill, so really there's no difference because either way it will evolve once. Anyway, yeah, like f l a s h said. The Marill is probably just another Pokémon she caught.

Then she'd have two water pokemon on her team? Something the rivals/helpers never do (if I remember right)
Also if she started with Marill then she really should start with Azurill?

I guess it really is too early to say though, I just thought it was odd.

Oh, good point. I was too lazy to look back at the picture and I remembered seeing Gold having Cyndaquil. Now, if Soul had had Chikorita, the Marill would make much more sense. ...So, maybe you're (probably) right about the starter thing.

Do you mean the website? I don't think there is since it's mostly Flash rather than text, so you won't be able to translate it with a site. But when you roll your mouse over a link, the link comes up in English so you'll be able to see what the page is about.

GymLeaderLance99 June 15th, 2009 11:10 AM

Well, since I've had my browser on this thread for a few hours just to look at the pics, I'm sure people have addressed most of what I wanted to. So, I'll just say this...

AMAZING ECRUTEAK IS AMAZING! SO IS JUST ABOUT EVERY NEW PICTURE WE'VE GOTTEN! XD

That Johto map looks awesome, and as I'm sure has been said, Kanto is pretty much confirmed with the bit of Route 22 we saw. The Magnet Train going through the mountains adds more realism (I wonder if a ride on the Train will become like a ride on the ships, with trainers aching to battle...), and that clouded area just has to be either the Battle Tower or a full-on Battle Frontier (if it's anything else, well...depends). The new area past Cianwood is interesting, and I wonder what it might be. Other than that, the Rival's sprite is so much like the original and for that, I give it nostalgia points. I'm sure later on in the game, his sprite will resemble his new artwork.

Man, I really can't wait for these. XD

They wouldn't start her with Azurill because that belongs in the Hoenn PokéDex. Seeing as we'll be gaining a National PokéDex afterwards it wouldn't fit for her to have a Hoenn Pokémon this early. However, you do make a good point on the starter sequence, but we can always expect a change later on perhaps [doubt it, but maybe].

It's alright ^_^. We haven't had any translations as yet, but I think it is being worked on. However, earlier in the pages we did get a translation from pokmon xd, but it wasn't too clear. So, I'd just give it time and it'll come around sometime [with official or real translation that is].

Niprop June 15th, 2009 11:17 AM

This. Is. Going. To be. AWESOME!

My hopes of having Porygon following me around at some point are sky-high! And the new sprites look just... Stunning! This is going to be more then just epic... It's going to be Uber Epic.

Melodyfree June 15th, 2009 11:50 AM

Oh...oh...oh god. I started spazzing like mad when I saw flowery pink Cherrygrove (not my style, but so fitting) and that gorgeous art of Ecruteak. ♥♥♥
I love how the gyms have a color scheme now, rather than being the same bland buildings over and over again.

It's really these insignificant little add-ons that make this game so worthwhile.

Samme! June 15th, 2009 3:30 PM

^^ You just hit the nail on the head Melodyfree! ^^ Those things really do make it more worthwhile to play.

sirboulevard June 15th, 2009 3:36 PM

I wanna point something out on the Ecruteak picture. Look down onto Route 36. you can clearly see the Apricorn Trees as trees, not bushes like berries are now. So I think its plausible at this time to assume that Apricorns may be coming back in the fashion they did in GSC.

I was thinking, its probably not but...what if the player is soul? this would explain gold having chikorita...this is highly improbable since I doubt you can get a marill so early...but when you look at the image, it looks like soul has moved to speak to gold (since he's turned to face but not chikorita) and marill is facing and hasnt yet reached the centre of his shadow...If gold was the one moving his chikorita should face the same way...then again, the screen seems centered on gold.

I'm probably thinking about it too much and is best to wait for further news xDDD

I think that you are right but it's just a little to hard to tell. But I really do hope that they do include the Apricorn Trees.

gummybarz June 15th, 2009 3:44 PM


I translated the whole entire page... Once again this is what every page says...


On the map page it says:

On the 4th page with the poke gear it says:

Stylish red for boys, for girls are feeling pretty pink NOZU.



Hope this helps~

Gummy June 15th, 2009 3:45 PM

Now that I see the female sprite in better quality, she does look pretty adorable, and having a Chikorita at her side would be the icing on the cake (considers playing as her on first run). As for the other pictures, they really give me more confidence that this will be the best Pokemon game to date.

Except, Babelfish translations don't really qualify as a good translation. But on the bright side, all that can be made into something that makes sense, which is what I'll do now. I'll edit this post with the fixed stuff.

Here is what I did for the story of Johto, sorry I forgot to post it here XD

HGSS Official Website - Story

My signature will take you to an index of the rest of the translations, not much from the new website though since it's all basically old information + old and new pictures ^^ :)

Ah...well, guess I got beaten to it? XD

Still, if you don't mind, let me just slightly reword the first two paragraphs:

Living in the small town of New Bark in the Johto region, you obtain a Pokemon from the neighborhood Pokemon expert Prof. Elm, and you set off on an adventure. Meetings with various different people and Pokemon await you!

Active in the Kanto region three years ago, Team Rocket, an organization committing evil with Pokemon, is back in action again. What could they be planning? Getting caught in the mess during your travels, can you drive Team Rocket away?!

Regardless, thanks for the translations. :D

Hoothoot is barely ever portrayed as flying unlike the rest of the flying types. I don't know why, unless it is because it is rounded and seems un-air like, but I've never really seen one in the game nor in the anime fly. This is probably the reason why they chose to use its OW sprite as walking, however I'm not 100% sure. If we see other flying types, like Pidgy's line of evolution in the air while walking, then maybe my theory would be safe to assume, but for now it is a bit distorted in thought.

Seeing as the graphics aren't exactly the same as other games such as Pokémon Ranger, and how flying types are shown there, then it maybe different for the main metagame. They may choose to have the airborne Pokémon on the ground because of simplicity, but we'll have to wait until more scans are shown with more of a variety and OW sprites for the Pokémon.
