So disscus what you think about this "new" battle design |
Wow they are cool Plus I love the pichu sprites
not asking bu tI think that might mean that theres 2 sprites for each pokemon i guess |
Well those are two completely different Pokemon, the Notched-Ear Pichu and Pikachu-Colored Pikachu...
And I actually prefer the Platinum boxes over these. |
I think most people can't wait for hg and ss to come out
You are good at finding HG SS stuff do you know or have seen any sprites of the pokemon when they follow you. Sorry your just good at this stuff |

krickitot steelix the three starters and the pichus |
These are nice, I like the "wind blown" kind of look. Platinum had a better color option though.
|
oh I've seen the pichu's and steelix but O_o can you post the rest
have you seen aron and is it every pokemon that can be a partner 8D |
Platinum's were a shocker becuase of how different they were, so going back to ones more like DP and earlier is going to be a change.
I'll be able to make an opinion once we know what it looks like with an Exp. bar- |
Oh wow. The different genders of pokemon have completely different stances altogether? I can't WAIT for this to come out! X3

|
So Notchie is getting her own special pose, or are different genders finally getting their own? I'd love it if it were the latter, but probably not.
And here I was afraid they'd go back to the ugly D/P boxes. These look similar to Platinum. Thank goodness...now if only we could change the colors. :/ |

heres a link to pics of the new game: http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pics.shtml |
I like the battle style. It always seems like when they make a remake the battle style changes. But other than that it looks good. I especially like how different the pichus look.
|
Theres wasnt ever exp points bars in doubles anyway was there?
|
Quote:
That just makes want to get the games 600 times more :D |
The boxes that display the HP bars look good, but the edge on the left (for the player facing the Pichu's) looks so damn jagged.. its going to bother me after a while.
|
Hopefully both Male and Female get seperate sprites! :D
|
Nah, I'd rather male female stay the same but HG has different sprites than SS.
|
The Pichu on the left side looks so cute doing that pose!
|
Actually the Pichu on the left seems more of a baby Pokemon sprite then the one on the right, xD.
|
Looks really good. can't wait for the game. |
i dont see much of a change exept for the bars, hope some new moves will be released in these games, but i guess that a bit hard since these moves wont be compatible with previous games, although they did that in DPPt
|
I like this a lot better than platinum's interface.
|
Quote:
|
I agree as well; the color scheme for the boxes is like the D/P colors. The slanted look makes it look more modern. It probably would have looked better with a gold/silver color scheme.
|
I liked the Platinum boxes better, but I really don't care either way.
|

Now, as for the Health Box, they never show the Exp. points in double battles. They do appear through Wi-Fi [only in single matches] but it never changes in anyway. So, that has been kept the same here as was for the games before it. I like the sleek look and it is a lot simpler. Platinum's Health Bar does have a better design, I agree, but these are not half bad. I especially favor the smooth slant at the edge of it. Over all, a decent job and keeps me looking forward to what is next. |
Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver

Totodile Chickorita Cyndaquil Hoothoot Teddiursa Arceus Steelix Lavitar Pichu's & Maril Following the Female Trainer. |
Yeah... all of the pokemon. imagine groudon xD and I love the battle design... I hated the black HP boxes in Platinum... ugh... I love these. very cool.
|
These ones look good, but I'd rather keep Platinum ones.
|
Hmm.... I wonder if the battle they are showing is from Soul Silver because the HP box is silver and maybe in Heart Gold the HP box is gold??? I doubt it but that'd be kinda cool i guess
|
Those Pichu sprites are adorable 8D
The battle screen looks cleaner and better then Platinum in my opinion. |

I feel pretty indifferent o it, as long as the more important things are updated, like making it actually a challenge.
|
I never actually saw the Platinum HP bars (or at least long enough to have an opinion), but the boxes do look nice; much better than the D/P ones. -nod-
|
the pichu on the left looks pretty cool, i hope that they apply that to other pokemon as well

I like the sleek look to the boxes, but why don't they have an exp bar in the double battles still? There's obviously room.
I like the Notched ear and pikachu colored pichu sprites, but I wonder what the regular Pichu sprites look like now. And do you think you can catch one of the Pichus? Obviously not both but one or the other. that would be cool, i wonder how the notched ear Pichu would look like as Pikachu or a Raichu... |
Well, it is a Wi-Fi battle so there are never exp bars
|
Quote:
The regular Pichu sprite more than likely will look just like the Pikachu-Colored Pichu as there isn't anything different with them except this one is a shiny. The Notch Eared Pichu however [in a way] deserves the new sprite compared to the rest as it is like a new form. Also, you can have both Pichus because the Pikachu Colored Pichu you obtain in the movie event and the Notch Eared Pichu you catch within the game. Not to mention, you need to have the Pikachu Colored Pichu to activate the Notched Pichu event within HGSS in the first place. As for it evolving and how it may look, I wonder about that too. Quote:
|
Ohh, ok i forgot thanks... (haven't wifi battled in awhile)
It actually does look like there's room but i think that if they were in there than the battle would seem a little too over crowded Quote:

Still, I guess getting these games'll expose me to some of the 4th gen I haven't seen, and I might find some favorites. But moving on... The boxes do look cool, especially with that blown-in kinda look to 'em. It'd have been kinda nice to have a sort of Gold/Silver mix or something depending on the game, but I won't mind these. Although...they do look a bit big in double battles compared to the other ones. =/ (Might be just the 3rd gen I'm speaking for, though) Can't wait for a gameplay video where we hear the Trainer (or even Gym Leader?) Battle theme. XD |
Man, the Pichu family is booming! An exclusive move (Volt Tackle), item (Light Ball), and now a new "Forme"? (tentatively Notch-Eared Pichu). Whoa... :t172: :t025: :t026:
As for the design, the pure white is a little different from the white-tan color I'm used to, but it'll grow on me, I guess. It would be slightly nice if EXP. Bars were shown in double battles as well, though, since there is now space. But the slanted lines at the Health Box's edge is annoying the HECK out of me; it looks too jagged and pixelated in comparison to the smooth, sleek rectangles of old. I'll probably grow with the new Health Box design if only one side/edge is slanted, but if the Health Boxes are actual trapezoids, I'm gonna have a problem with that... Compared to Platinum's Health Boxes, the (hopefully) one-side-slanted look does look like a fresh take on the previous design(s). However, I like Platinum's dark-gray coloring as well, I guess since it is a radical change in style and matchs Giratina's theme. But I'm also fond of the white-tan Health Box version... :\ Anyway, all 3 designs are appealing, and this new one makes HG/SS all the more unique. :) PLEASE, NO TRAPEZOIDS, GAME FREAK!!! Notch-Eared Pichu looks so cute! I'd probably catch that if I had to choose over it and shiny Pichu, because I think I can generate Shiny Pichu elsewhere, as opposed to the one-of-a-kind Notch-Eared Pichu. Different poses for each gender for each Pokemon could be nice, I guess. At least more gender variants should be added this time around, if different gender poses are the case here. |
I dont see the difrence between old and new. will someone point it out please.
|
I think I uderstand what Aero's theory is about the platinum boxes's relation to giratina's theme. I think these new boxes are cool. But I still kinda prefer those platinum boxes over these ones :/ .
|
Meh, the boxes seem abit crammed to me...

ya i m really excited the to hear the new music when battling the gym leaders in kanto and johto, the one for the kanto gym leaders in gold and silver was plain awsome, ya maybe they will make the color of the bars change with the version, the sprites look awsome for now, and we ve got a bunch of them for now.

I hope they include an option that allows you to change this new HUD and the text boxes.

The Pokemon only had two sprites but they did do a great job of animating the Pokemon within a 2 sprite limit. I can't wait to meet my buddy, Lugia again ... |
I'm not sure what to think.
Part of me feels they're too bulky, but I guess that's because it's a double battle. It's nice, though, I'm just... not in love with that overall design. |
In Battle.
Do you think that they will keep most of the same battle animations as were used in D/P/Pt or will they make new ones.
Also I'm alsocurious if they actually did this with Lg/Fr as well. If they did not with these two would they do it with Hg/Ss? Questions or Comments? |
I dont think they will redo the battling system exept for the spirites. I dont know about Lg/Fr.
|
I think that they will keep the DPPt battle system with maybe a slight chance of a couple of new attacks. The only thing different with the battle system will probably just be the sprites used. I think it would be awesome if they maybe came up with a new move for Ho-oh or Lugia though. :P
|
Just like the others probably the only different thing will be the Sprites. Besides that I know the little battle boxes have changed, but its nothing we haven't seen before.
|
Merged the new topic on battle animations and systems with this pre-existing one.
I don't really expect much in the way of changes, tbh... although the idea of an redone version of the old Hydro Pump attack appeals to me, somehow. XD |
Looking back, Platinum itself had changed some of the battle animations when compared to Diamond and Pearl. So, if the moves had to be changed in animation during battle I would think it may follow that of Platinums. However, these games were in -progress since three years ago, so it is a possibility that the battle animation may not alter at all from that of Diamond and Pearl. The basic thing that I think may change though is sprites. The sprites of the Johto and Kanto Pokémon together may be changed, but not the Hoenn and Sinnoh sprited Pokémon. Also, the Pokémon's animation itself within the game, might be slightly altered, I would think. Other than this, and the possible thought about back sprite animation, I wouldn't think anything much would be changed for much difference than that of DPPt.
|
I do like everything about that picture :) The new box things are freakin cool and I'm xcited to see notched ear Pichu has it's own sprite! Maybe more Pokemon will be like this? My fingers are crossed!
|
I don't mind the new battle theme, but the best design was the one in Diamond and Pearl. In Platinum, they overdid it a bit, so the theme in Hg/Ss is a bit better.
|
Personally I cannot wait for the Japanese launch of this game. I am going to DL it and play it ASAP on my DSi. This game I will play through twice on both games without cheat codes. This game is just that good.
|
guyz this picture is for the notch eared pichu event. It's kind of a cutscene. U don't get to battle.

I think it looks hawt. I guessed after D/P came out they would remake Gold/Silver, seeing as they remade Green/Red. XD;
Does anyone know the release date in Australia while I'm here? I really like the grey, simplistic design. Also, I noticed that there isn't an experience bar. And, there are two different Pichu sprites, with different colourings. Perhaps this is a fake? Or an edit of an original? |
Quote:
Quote:
I think the Australian version will be release on next year, at fall. You mean the "Notched-ear Pichu" and the "Pikachu colored Pichu"? They are for real my friend!! You'll understand it if you watch the 12th movie - the one that features Arceus, the Johto starters and the Dragon trio. |
Quote:
pichu. (Haven't you heard of shiny Pokémon?) And once again, there are no experience bars in double battles. Never have been, never will be. -.- |
Quote:
As for the the two Pichus, is is completely real like you've been told. It is just that with the newest movie coming out [Featuring Arceus] there is the Notch Eared Pichu who also stars in it. This will explain the difference in ear and sprite for the battle. Also, the differentiated color is only because the darker Pichu is called a Pikachu Colored Pichu and it is basically a shiny. There are events held outside and within the game involving these two, so I'm sure you'll hear more about it. Quote:
|
=3 =3 Thats a cool design. Did you hear the pokemon follow you around?
|
Quote:
In Platinum's case, there are none Sinnoh Pokemon that gained new sprites. So the case might be similar. Quote:
|
It looks good. I just hope they keep the experience bar on single battles.
|
Quote:
This is especially useful to know when EVing a Pokémon or simply out of curiosity by the trainer. However, I believe it was never placed in double battles as it might not have been needed at the time or might have taken up the room for the screen seeing as there are two Pokémon on each side. However, I wouldn't expect them to remove it for single play at all as leveling up to the next level will be hard for players to pin point if it were to be so. |
Looks nice and i cant wait to get pichu
|
I like the new look it is a good change.
|
Eh, it seems kind of plain. Platinum's was better. But it's alright.
|
i honestly liked the one from diamond and pearl better. but im quite disapointed in this....... i dont see "new" anywhere

(Playing Pokemon Yellow and No EXP. Bar. >.< ) Anywho, I kinda like the look of these boxes. The Notched-Ear Pichu looks cute in its pose. xD ~Ryu |

Spoiler:
What you see marked in red is the EXP. Share bar used in either RBG or Pokémon Yellow. This was also found in Pokémon RBYG. So the older versions did have the Exp. Bar and it has been continued ever since. It is just a way so players can know how far or close they are to leveling up. |
Yes but the little part at the bottom marked in red doesn't fill up or anything. O.o
|
Well, hopefully they make the HP bars go down faster. (Gameplay in Platinum JUST got slower, compared to the Generation I, II and III games.)

However, Platinum's battle speed did increase compared to Diamond and Pearl, so I wouldn't expect HGSS to go any slower. Not only in battle, but in surfing as well, DP has a slow speed in surfiing, while Platinum picked up the lag. With this being said, I would expect HGSS to carry on that continuous speed like in Platinum. |

Actually when you think about the cycle in battling, the original GSC changed a lot of it. Seeing as after about ten years since the first GS Japanese release, the same things it brought back then is making a comeback in battle now. It is quite interesting when thought about. To tell you the truth, you can quite say GSC is what made Pokémon battling kind of how it may be now as it set some pretty good standards for the future Pokémon games after it. |
oohhh very nice..but a bit bland though escpecially the colour
|
I prefer the Platinum boxes. I liked how they were square.
|
Pichu gets not one, not two, but three seperate sprites?
If that is so, can I have a ridge-headed Porygon sprite as well as a flat-headed Porygon? Please? |
since they are male and female pichus thats probably why they look different. CAN'T WAIT FOR HG/SS:classic:
|
Ehh, they're allright, nothing spectacular. At least they're not extremely ugly =P
|
They aren't ugly but it really doesn't matter to me because I'm going to be focused on the battle more then I am with the boxes, better then Pokemon Platinum
:t354:TG |
There's never an EXP bar in double battles. Plus, you already own Pikachu-Colored Pikachu, otherwise you can't get the Notched-Ear Pichu.
|
I like it, the boxes look really cool like that.
|
go to serebii.net and they have loads of screenshots
|
It looks so plain =| I liked Platinum's the most.
|
The sprite for Gizamimi Pichu is simply adorable!
|
Looks cool, but I prefer Platinum's.
