Sorry for the double post. The site updated for the pikachu event:

OMG! Pikablu in the back!

Ecruteak's beutiful autmn setting fits it well.

Sweet Smoochum August 5th, 2009 5:21 AM

In the section mentioning Pikachu, they show a screenshot (below) of the PokeMart. It looks a lot better and they actually have a table and chairs in there. (For the first time ever.)

The Background is amazing. I love how the pokemon follows you around.

Olivine City looks pretty according to the map. The lighthouse is a pretty shade of blue. ^_^

I doubt its the same frontier but damn what the hey using the art,

GunSaberSeraph August 11th, 2009 5:15 AM

Maybe they're using an image of the Sinnoh frontier as an example?

Samme! August 11th, 2009 6:11 AM

Yeah I have a feeling they will change it once the game comes out. I sure would hate though if it was the same. I doubt they would do that however. Interesting how they used the same Palm trees too.

I believe that's by far the most likely option. I doubt it's going to be a carbon copy of it (and from screen shots it already looks different - even an extra house!) - it's just them using the Platinum BF picture as a placeholder, because they're, well, lazy.

Fits in with the fact that there's really not that much there that's new in terms of pictures from what we've seen in Coro Coro - just higher-quality version of them for the most part, really. Doesn't quite seem right that it'd have a lot more info for one aspect compared to everything else (as the official art would give a lot away), and they probably just want to keep it a mystery or what-not until later (or the game's release itself).

How nice of them! -_- Ah well.

Dusk252 August 11th, 2009 6:44 AM

Awesome^^ Just awesome. I'll really love that game man....

Mitchman August 11th, 2009 8:19 AM

Wait why isn't oak older? Please don't tell me same treatment will happen for the kanto leaders...
Also the frontier art was badly edited to have a beach:

Cads.

Samme! August 11th, 2009 8:35 AM

Hahahahaahha wow GameFreak/Nintendo you've stumped us again

IAMGETTINGTIREDOFPIKACHU

Those are some very nice screenshots, makes me want this game even more seening them.

Hamilton August 16th, 2009 11:43 AM

well, i love what they did with everything, but..... well... in the Ecruteak Pic.... does anyone else find it strange that the lake of rage is Slanted? i mean is that physically possible? great pics though

Geo_mani August 16th, 2009 12:14 PM

The graphics are so perfect!They look like fake but they are real!Platinum's graphics are nothing in front of these!

bobandbill August 20th, 2009 4:16 AM

Some new pictures yet again from the website... such as clearer shots of the gyms revealed before, pokethlon building, and a few new ones, such as Union cave and Jasmine's gym.

can't see anything new on there :S
jasmine's gym looks well nice
looks more suited to her, before it was so dingy.

bobandbill August 20th, 2009 4:32 AM

Whoops, meant to add in it's not on the japanese site, but the official Nintendo website in the HG/SS section. Since it's from a website, I don't see much point for a new thread... Website link here for those interested: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ipkj/index.html


But wait!

I believe though it has confirmed the expected GTS being in Johto/Kanto, perhaps...? Thanks to google translate of the pages on the website, the Platinum wifi minigames are back too (screenshot of it there kinda helps as well).

The confusing translations may also hint towards the Battle Frontier being different to Platinum's...? Hard to quite understand it though - someone who actually can translate it better than google is needed. XD

EDIT: Global Terminal (the 'GTS' as it was in Platinum) confirmed to be in Goldenrod City by yaminokame - i.e. someone more versed in Japanese than Google Translate. XD

And the other pictures, including one more of the Battle Frontier (a similar Battle Hall?), Global Terminal and wifi minigames place, and so forth. (Some are old pictures or close to it). Looks like that either the HG/SS's Battle Frontier has the same challenges as Platinums, or at least the Battle Hall came back (no idea on anything else as nothing else as yet been shown or mentioned there).

Guy August 20th, 2009 6:43 AM

The Pokéthelon building is very intriguing and I'm excited enough to try it out once the games are released in the US next spring. But like said, a lot of Platinum's influence is flowing into the game from the GTS, which I don't mind as well as the WiFi Paza. However, the Battle Frontier possibly being the same thing is a bit depressing for the game. Johto is its own region and runs at the same timeline with Sinnoh, so to kind of see a similar or exact Frontier being placed in another region besides Sinnoh is breaking the laws of physics [not that it runs Pokémon], but a bit of difference would have been nice, but we'll see.

The pictures overall though, pretty nice. I like the way the game is coming along and with future images of Kanto to come, maybe we'll still be in wait of surprise. No Contest Hall revieled as yet, but hopefully it'll come with the return of Kanto being included [again we'll see what happens].

mervyn797 August 20th, 2009 6:46 AM

this is cool. we all have a lot of expectations from this game!
