HG/SS Feature Speculation Thread
 
Any speculation on game specifics? Let your curiousity and imagination run wild. I know there's already a speculation thread but this is more than just that and is more specific.

Common topics and some I am interested in are:
-Should the Rival Silver have a different team? If the same will Sneasel and Magneton evolve?
-Should Johto (and Kanto also) Gym Leaders, and the Elite Four have new teams with Gen III and IV Pokemon?
-Many have complained that Gen II was too easy due to the low levels of Gym Leaders and Elite Four. Should the levels be upped?
-Should Viridian Gym Leader Blue/Gary and Red/Ash in Mt. Silver use the same sprites from FR/LG? Many think that's what will happen.
-Do you think more areas of Kanto will be accessible? Like The Unkown Dungeon (aka Cerulean Cave), the Safari Zone, Seafoam Islands, etc.
-What do you think that new island on the Johto map is?

In my opinion if the Kanto Gym Leaders levels should be upped even if the Johto one's are left untouched, save upping Falkner's levels and evolving Bugsy's Metapod and Kakuna at the very least. The first two generations to me were the best but I did find Gen II to be rather easy due to the low levels.

I'm really looking forward to HG/SS I liked FR/LG because they kept the story the same as R/B/Y just playing it with way better graphics, but was only slightly disappointed with the slight level drop in the Elite Four. What about you?

Also, what kind of team do you think you will raise is HG/SS? Me I'm bringing back my Crystal team but with new movesets with Gen III and IV moves and held items.

I would love to hear what kind of team you will use.

Magneton doesn't need to because Magnezone is not really that much ..... better. Weavile could be cool, but I'd prefer it with Sneasel as it was before.

Blech... not Gen III. Some Gen IV would be nice, but the bare minimum. They should keep it as close to the 251 pokemon as possible, as they did in FRLG.

Johto was rather fine in the beginning, people complain about Falkner having a level 8 Pidgeotto was it? I don't think that's bad, its better if your first gym is easy. In FRLG the first gym was hard for people who picked Charmander. Kanto should definitely be upped, like definetly. Viridian had like level high 50s, wtf is that. It should be above 70s.

Of course, people can speculate. But I can tell you I'm 99.99% sure that won't happen. The old FRLG sprites dont have even animations and in GSC they didn't make Red have RBY sprites, right? So why add it now? Plus many little kids who play HG/SS won't know who Red is as they will have grown up with this game rather then RBY, so the kids won't understand the concept of old sprites they'll just think the graphics look crap.

More areas of Kanto probably will be, because there are no size constraints (they ran out of file space before so they cut back on things), but things like Unknown Dungeon probably weren't locked because of file size, but locked because it didn't make sense to go in. Seafoam Islands I don't see any point but it could be fun to explore.

Are you referring to the island to the west of Cianwood City? If so, then that could be a bunch of things. It could be a type of Pal Park, or a GTS type thing (maybe even both put together). The way its cut off from Cianwood by thick trees and mountains makes it seem like you can't get there till after the Elite Four.

I saw an island south of New Bark Town or was it Cherrygrove somewhere in that vicinity in a YouTube vid.
