Love how your rival isn't "???" and instead is "passing by kid".
Introducing himself as "???" in the original was something that has been bothering me for a long time.

Oh my... That picture of Ecruteak City is very beautiful. =o *immediately saves it*
I think it looks just the way Ecruteak should look like. That hint of ancient legends mixed with a little modern architecture for the Gym, Mart and PC.
By the way, is that Mahogany I see?

Also, I like the new site. The background is unbelievable. XD
Also, the art of Ho-Oh and Lugia is very pretty. ^^ Lugia's awesomeness has once again been caught correctly. Ho-oh is just great. ^^

I was kinda surprised to find something about Giovanni though. :o Can anyone explain me where that comes from?

derozio June 17th, 2009 12:45 AM

The site is totally awesome!!! The way they have designed the site is just something else. I hope they just keep releasing more and more delicious pics.
(off topic: I cannot understand japenese so I was actually wondeing whether there is any japenese user on PC who could translate all the latest info for everybody else as the google translation is plain CRAP!!)

Nintendo AND Game Freak. Game Freak is a second-party developer because it's owned partly by Nintendo.

Anyway, the game looks like it's almost complete. At this rate, I think we could see the game released in Japanese by October. I'm hoping they do release the English version early next year.

Oh WOW new art looks sooo pretty! And as for the map, the first time I saw the Cianwood new area, I thought "That reminds me of the Great Marsh". Looking at it further, I'm not so sure, but there was no safari zone in the original - maybe they put it back in?
And the map again, what is that golden glow above Ecruteak? Is it to do with Ho-Oh?
So many mysteries! (and excitements!)

The golden glow above Ecruteak is only because of the trees. The trees located in this one city are known for its bright golden shine and makes the air of the city appear this way. However, seeing as Ho-Oh is also located here, it could have a little to do with it, but the trees are giving off this look on the map for the most part.

Now, that art with the city is really nice. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone added it as their computer wallpaper. It tells us a lot about what new look some towns will have along with some kind of reference on how things may play out. The look of Mt. Silver is just eye catching. It slightly reminds me of Mt. Coronet because of how large it is appeared to be and the snow cap it was given.

Utilizing the touch screen is all the better for this game. It goes to show how much effort they are enforcing into the remake. It makes one wonder however, if GameFreak and Nintendo are starting to relalizee their loss in income and are bringing it back with such a large new change. Over that though, it is still a nice touch for the fans and as seen it has gotten many hyped over it. My personal favorite of these however is the shot with Ho-Oh soaring above the Tin Towers and Lugia being overshadowed by the waterfall. They both definitely give off a nice touch to these two legendaries and their respective homes.

I just hope that there will be more Sugimori art of cities for us to enjoy ^_^

Britney's Circus June 17th, 2009 7:06 AM

Hi guys, i just noticed that this picture is of the town you visit first on the game, looks like Teddiursa is at the start of the game! :D

Samme! June 17th, 2009 7:10 AM

Just like I said on another thread, just because it shows gold and a teddiursa in the second town it doesn't necessarily mean that it's catchable that early in the game.

*But that would be cool though*

Britney's Circus June 17th, 2009 7:12 AM

I just suggested that though but maybe a import will tell us soon. :D

He's right as its quite possible to fly there when you obtain the HM later in the game.

Ryanniny June 17th, 2009 7:50 AM

on one of the pages you can open a kinda pop-up window thing with a picture of giovanni & some stuff to do with FR/LG
can anyone translate this so we know what it says?

Its more or less the old gist with how red took down Giovanni 3 years ago and how the crestfallen came to Johto.

Åzurε June 17th, 2009 8:11 AM

The topic title looked like it wouuld have worked for a Naruto title or something. xD
Yo quiero GSDS.

That art is awesome! But, you know what I'd like? Music samples. Imagine what the remix of stuff like the Kimono Dance Studio would sound like... This is me, hardly able to wait. ^^

And, Giovanni never did actually appear in GSC, but I could see him having a story role in this iteration.

Mudkipable June 17th, 2009 8:57 AM

I think the Marill that stands next to the girl in one of the pics is kind of a hint/proof that we will be able to have one pokémon walking behind you ;o

EDIT: Yup, I used google translate for the page and it says your pokémon (every one) will be able to walk behind you. It kinda works like with pikachu in pokémon yellow.

And you can catch both lugia and ho-oh in each game. Eg in Heart Gold you catch ho-oh first and after the pokémon league you can catch lugia.

Also the new girl sprite is better than I expected. Good job Nintendo and Game Freak.

Also, new pokédex interface (I think):

Me liek. Very very very very much. I am so going to buy this the second it comes out.

Sorry if I said things that have been said, but I just went through the pages and wrote down what I thought you would want to know.

Maybe its possible to catch Teddiursa in HG where you could catch phanphy in crystal?

Your first part of the post was stating the quite obvious. And yes that is the new pokedex interface.

It is true that Giovanni never did play a part in the original GSC. This is because he has abandoned Team Rocket three years ago after their failure in Kanto. However, it is possible to bring back Giovanni for some kind of twist once more in Kanto, but we'll see what they do. However, the official site does say something about Giovanni and his defeat be Red three years ago in Kanto. It is basically a reference to how Team Rocket moved into Johto like we see now.

We did have a few samples of the music. It was found in the Pokémon Sunday show, however it was hard to hear as the actors on the show were a little too loud. Nevertheless, it seems to be coming along nicely [music and game plot wise].

It has been stated before that even though we see some later Pokémon found earlier in the game, it could possibly be because they do not want to reveal the later locations of the game. However, it wouldn't surprise me if they did a few tweaks in Pokémon encounters every few routes perhaps. It was done in Crystal and Platinum, so I guess we could expect a little change now in the remakes as well. As for Teddiursa replacing Phanpy, who knows, but I'd rather they not allow stronger Pokémon too early as it'll basically make the early part of the game a bit too easy.

RockmanEXE June 17th, 2009 2:01 PM

I seriously can't contain myself.

This game looks amazing.

Wasn't Teddiursa catchable in the first part of Dark Cave? It was rare, but you could still find it.
