What in gods name...only platinum had the clock. Eterna Gym. You starting to mix games I think.

More like maybe they'll make him look like a guy this time. I had thought him to be a girl for the first few YEARS that I played Gold and Crystal, haha.

In the part where the girl (forgot her name) uses chickarita to cut down the tree, the berry tree looks like it has a pecha berry.

That pink would look sexy.

I thought it was supposed to be white Apricorn, but in a new area. I think your idea is right, though, because in the original it was a psncureberry. They probably changed it to Pecha berry seeing as how both can cure poison and because Pecha berry is in the most recent gen. Speaking of that tree, I think it looks very nicely made. Chikorita looks more like Chikorita now instead of a Gulpin like some others have said in that first gameplay video.

Awesome, this just makes me not want to wait even more!

That one scene at the end showing Gold confronting Arceus looked interesting though...

I must have been mistaken. I could have sworn I saw a rotating gym in Crystal. My bad.

Bugsy's a dude?!

lol When I first played, I thought he was a girl as well. (Even the booklet said Bugsy was female.) Then, I found out via anime that Bugsy was a male. He'll probably stay a male in this remake. Hopefully, they'll make him more manly.

I really like how they made Ecruteak City. It looks very well made. I like the different colored trees. Finally, we can see the front (overworld) sprite of the new girl! Yay! The hat looks normal sized, but the hair looks a little too high up. Oh well. I still like the sprite, though. ^_^

Homage to Kris, perhaps? She was a great character. Wish they kept her.

Oh well. This new girl can't be that bad.

What? I didn't say that in honor of Kris. I've been defending the new girl constantly. Others were calling her Mario and saying her hat is too big and that Kris is hidden inside her hat. I'm proving that the hat wasn't that big at all. It looks nice. I like the hat. The hair looks nice too, but it appears higher up from that angle. I still like the sprite, and it's still my favorite playable female character. I just wanted to prove a point that people shouldn't have worried about the hat being too big.

Turke July 8th, 2009 12:23 AM

That was awesome! This game looks like it's gonna be som much fun, I can't wait til it comes out!

thelaytonmobile July 8th, 2009 1:25 AM

This commercial looks great! It also sounds great, that music really is very good, though I doubt it will be in the game.

All the overhead shots of the cities look very good, unfortunately the Goldenrod part can't be paused without it being all blurry, however, I believe that the building on the right is the department store, and is looking very Platinum-y.

I have to say I am not a fan of the title screens, both of them look very bland if you ask me.

Another thing I have to say I am pleased with is the addition of hills to the areas. G/S/C were very flat and if this was the same in the remake it would be strange compared to D/P/P. However as we can see in the video, the route with Mr Pokemon's house has had hills added, which somehow pleases me.

I can't wait to see shots of Kanto, nighttime, and of the remaining cities. I don't think Olivine, Cianwood or Blackthorn have been seen yet, but I have no doubt that they will also look incredible.

I meant that the sprite itself may be an homage to Kris.

lol, those jokes are hilarious. Can you imagine if Kris was inside that hat?!
jk, I like the new girl too. She kinda grows on you.

Or, maybe, just maybe, it points to seasonal environment changes.

Johto would seem like the region to be in perpetual Autumn. It would explain the low-saturation colors of G/S/C. Plus, I always thought it felt like the calming down period.

And besides, Sinnoh was like a winter region. The main characters wore scarfs and, in Platinum, Twinleaf had snow.




Maybe each of the regions has it's own season?

kanto seems like Spring to me, and Hoenn as summer (there were people on a friggin' beach sunbathing!)
but yes, the commercial does show Johto with an autumn-like look, which i think suits the ornate style of Johto, cos they were the most "under-developed" region, in my opinion.

I think you're missing the point. THIS ISN'T A LOCAL CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. It's a damn game on a handheld, what is your problem? In my opinion the black roads make it look like Jubilife City. Before the soft pink (not HOT PINK) blended with the light yellow formed a soft gold coloured look, the two colours went WELL together. Black roads and this pure gold look a bit weird.

I think he was using a metaphor...

But anyway, gold and pink roads wouldn't look as pleasing in this area, it being a major city and all. I think that the Black roads create a nice contrast with the buildings in the town. You may also notice that the original Goldenrod City could not use this scheme, as the GBC couldn't use two different shades of black. Don't get me wrong, I liked the old Goldenrod, but the bricks in the road don't make that much of a difference in gameplay.

My point is: if you're gonna start an argument or even give up a great game because of bricks in a path, you might as well just give up all games. Because there's always going to be things that you don't like in a game (mostly more important than brick colours).

La Foudre July 9th, 2009 11:39 AM

I think I just kind of exploded inside.

I want this game so baaaad now.

The thing is, it kind of DOES make it a big difference in gameplay. It makes it look more like Jubilife or Veilstone, it should have its own Johto look to it, by using the classic colours.

Sweet Smoochum July 9th, 2009 3:52 PM

I would just like to say that I will indeed miss the beautiful pink roadway. :pink_cry:

On the other hand, how awesome was that commercial?!

Has anyone else seen the awesomeness that is the Lava-rie goodness gym?

Or how Ecruteak has so many different trees? 1 type of tree was 3 different colors, and there was another type of tree there. Doesn't it look simply stunning?

Yeah I've found I've made it a ritual to come here every day and watch the commercial once, maybe twice, then eat some food, come back and watch it again :D:D:D:D

Then go play the originals.



To be honest I don't care, I never paid attention to the pink bricks, I paid more attention to the buildings and stuff.
For all we know, this is a beta. We've seen various graphical changes from when the game was first announced a few months ago up to today, so anything is possible.

AND DID ANYONE ELSE LOVE THE LIGHT POSTS?
I always thought softly lit light posts like that give a town a much better ambiance.

Dude there's some things you just KNOW they aren't going to change by final release, so don't give me that "ho ho this is t3h beta ho ho! ho ho ho ho! ho ho!"

Leyt July 9th, 2009 7:35 PM

The release seems so far away.

Then again, by the time it's released in the US, I may forget about it.
