What is Pokemon Sunday?

It's Saturday here in Illinois.

Tyrantrum July 11th, 2009 1:41 PM

Alright, Erick! :D
You ROCK~

I can't wait to see the video. And the footage of Red Gyarados~
I'm not typically a fan of Gyarados, nor do I put him in my team, but I'll make an exception for HG/SS's Red Gyarados. ;D

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 1:47 PM

Doesnt it start at half past? All I can see is some weird factory thing...

Precious Tears July 11th, 2009 2:00 PM

It's about 6 or 7 AM there in Japan right?
Anyway thanks for uploading the video(later...)
Hopefully we can see some exclusive updates...

Robot From Heaven July 11th, 2009 2:03 PM

Are you actually watching pokemon sunday live on tv or something because i really wanna see it lol

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 2:06 PM

There's a program you can download to watch, but the quality sucks...
That said, I got the time mixed up, It doesnt start for another half an hour I think, so I dont know why the thread maker made it an hour early...

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 3:29 PM

Wasnt there supposed to be a big update on the 11th?
Anyways. Are there any screens or videos so far into the Pokemon Sunday episode?
And when does it end?

WindBlows July 11th, 2009 3:30 PM

Listen, everyone
I guess KeyHole TV server was busier than ever because in my PC it was lagging a lot. But yeah, the footage was awesome and let's wait for the filb.de video.
It showed a large building, that when you enter you can play the minigames. It showed the famous racing mini game. I expected something more 3D'er but it's okay. It also showed the RedGyarados footage. It was awesome! The sprite is totally great. And the lake of rage seems to be big because it was only the player and the RedGyarados OW(It is small) and the rest was only water.

thanks to serebii =)

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 3:35 PM

Yeah no kidding, it was lagging loads for me too.

I also expected racing to be more..I dunno..around a track? instead of just a straight line...that makes it look kinda boring. Ah well! Better than nothing I guess.

Also you surf on the same ambiguous blue shadow...noooo

LegendaryPichu July 11th, 2009 3:36 PM

That makes me pissed, so you will have a Gyarados OW and a Wailord OW sprite following you. I thought you can Surf on them...

SDODC13 July 11th, 2009 3:39 PM

I so wish I didnt work tonight T_T I just missed it all...

TheAliveTrain July 11th, 2009 3:40 PM

Is this building the one near the bug-catch contest square?

Tyrantrum July 11th, 2009 3:40 PM

Excellent! :D
This is getting really exciting now. :3

Too bad you didn't upload the video. :P

ckn July 11th, 2009 3:41 PM

the gyrados sprite is so amazing! its looking all like "yeah i can kill you!!" ahh and the racing seems to look nice something i hope you get rewarded for like another game corner or something..lol and thats like one of the biggest buildings i ever saw!!O_O thanx for the update kind sir

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 3:44 PM

Wow those look pretty cool.
I hope the Lake of Rage actually is bigger and maybe with more trainers or obstacles in it?
Iunno, i just thought it was sort of boring how you surf two steps and poof Red Gyarados.
Excited to see more footage and the racing mini-game, although it sounds like many were dissapointed ;O

Retro Bug July 11th, 2009 3:44 PM

DD:.
The surfing sprite is just another blob, or whatever.

Edit:
I like that's raining when fighting RG.

TheAliveTrain July 11th, 2009 3:44 PM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vhCvBwogG8

Bad quality :/
There's a new sillouete at the end of this video, maybe next week we'll get known about it.

WindBlows July 11th, 2009 3:46 PM

No problem, thanks for visiting this thread. =)

Sweet Smoochum July 11th, 2009 3:46 PM

Gyarados looks so cute in this game! <3 :D I don't care that I already have a level 81 Gyarados (non-shiny) in Platinum, I'm using this guy! ^_^

I don't mind not seeing the Pokemon when I surf. (Too many pokemon know that move.) I'm assuming it's the same with Fly. I don't mind.

I like the building for those mini games. I'm happy. Thanks for posting those screens. :)

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 3:47 PM

Yeah. Well, what can you expect from the surfing sprite? :P
I also agree that the Red Gyarados's sprite looks amazing.
Will it's sprite be different from that of a regular Gyarados?

TheAliveTrain July 11th, 2009 3:53 PM

Found a new video of the Gyarados battle without any lag, but not high quality:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYYdmWicYLo

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 4:00 PM

Thanks for the higher quality vid :D
Wow I like the little water animation before the battle!
The Team Rocket artwork also looks pretty cool

Samme! July 11th, 2009 4:05 PM

Awesome! So excited!!! Hate the surfing sprite thing-a-blob-a-ma-jigger

Yeah, I could kill the guy who posted up the walkthrough to tell EVERYONE how to download, get on and lag up keyhole just before PokemonSunday aired :/ It went from 60 to 260 watchers in a few minutes ... and probably went past that :/ It's good we could at least get some good footage out of it >< I can't wait for filb.de's video lol

It would be impossible for them to make that.. As an example, Squirtle, they couldn't sprite the player surfing on it, so its better like this. :)

WindBlows July 11th, 2009 4:11 PM

Yeah I could say it username here *cough*P-K-M*cough*. Oh, well, it's OK. Anyway, I'm waiting for filb.de video too. Also, hi yaminokame!

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 4:19 PM

Haha the filb.de video was awesome, poor cyndaquil.

Also the lapras in the beginning was sooo cute!

Tyrantrum July 11th, 2009 4:20 PM

Filb.de has the video footage.

Click here to view.

Allure XI July 11th, 2009 4:21 PM

I'm very glad to see the Red Gyrados confirmed, even though I had little doubt that they would include it. I already have a Shiny Gyrados, but the Red Gyrados in GSC was just a big part of the games -- I would have been upset if they left it out.

I don't mind the surfing sprite -- like TheAliveTrain said, it would be a little silly to see the player on top of a Squirtle or Goldeen or something ^^;

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 4:22 PM

Seems like each pokemon has individual stats like speed, jump, stamina etc. I wonder what they base them on...

And is there just two minigames there? Dash battle and..Pound field?

WindBlows July 11th, 2009 4:24 PM

*faints*
OMG I just can't believe this. That HQ video is awesome!
This game is made of pure win. XD!

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 4:24 PM

Haha great quality <3
Just a little dissapointed with the Pokeathalon mini-game, but its all good!
I also like how it zooms out when you enter the mini-game building :p

TheAliveTrain July 11th, 2009 4:28 PM

Woo I liked the Lapras overworld, and I hope we can see more Pokémon outside of their Pokéballs in the game.

Kyledove July 11th, 2009 4:28 PM

I like the announcer of the races haha with the other contestants but...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/kyledove/goldd.png

We know the player has the cyndaquil totodile and pikachu...but why isnt gold at the top instead? Maybe you change outfit like the super contests? That or I could just be wrong...

Im not sure, but i think I remember reading somewhere that there are 9 new minigames? O_O
Dont take my word for it, I'm really not sure.

Haha I agree. I think it would be very cool to see other trainers with pokemon outside of their balls too!
Lapras <3<3<3

Ayselipera July 11th, 2009 4:35 PM

Gyarados's sprite looks so good.
I think its the best one they've had for it yet.

WindBlows July 11th, 2009 4:35 PM

Also, the magnificent surf theme can be heard. It sounds so awesome. <3

ckn July 11th, 2009 4:40 PM

thanx for the filb.de vid its so clear! lol lapras jus hovering on land and totodile dancing about I LOVE IT!! ^^ the minigames arent quite what i expected but hey better than nothing thanx again

GunSaberSeraph July 11th, 2009 4:42 PM

You can also hear the Johto battle theme. Best remix I've heard so far.

d[-_-]b July 11th, 2009 5:23 PM

I love The new Gyrados Sprite:)

PokeBabe July 11th, 2009 5:47 PM

Yeah, I have to agree its one of the best i've seen so far. I look forward to seeing more improved sprites :D

ReyRey-Pyon July 11th, 2009 5:52 PM

The Filb video is so clear :D
the racing game looks awesome
Gyarados looks awesome

Im a bit dissapointed about the surf sprite but i guess its all cool :D

GymLeaderLance99 July 11th, 2009 5:58 PM

First off, the remixed Johto Wild Battle and Surfing themes sound so awesomely done. XD

Now, that Red Gyarados looks sweet. Someone on YouTube said that it looks so smooth, you can't see the pixels like in other games' sprites, and I have to agree. It also seems they've made Lake of Rage have more water to it, which is always a plus, since there wasn't much surfing involved to get to it. As for the surf sprite, eh, I'm not really bothered by it. Would've been cool if they redid the Lapras-like sprite, though. XD

Can't wait for the next update. Hopefully, it'll be something more involved with the games' plot, or maybe even a Gym Battle and stuff, since the newest CoroCoro had some Gym Leader profiles. And I hope there's more awesome music heard. XD

Poliwagged July 11th, 2009 6:00 PM

Johto Battle theme and the Surfing theme sound BRILLIANT.

BakingBluePotatoe July 11th, 2009 6:01 PM

.... God, this will be THE best games EVER.

--

I love Love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the music that plays while fighting the RG! So GBC-ish! <33333333

Sweet Smoochum July 11th, 2009 6:06 PM

I love the music that plays when you battle Red Gyarados. It's not annoying at all. I like it a lot better than the original and the DPPt battle music.

The surfing theme sounds pretty. :)

I like the rain on Lake of Rage. It looks nice. I also like the bubbles that appear before the battle begins. I wonder if it's only raining for when Red Gyarados is there, or if it will stop once it faints or gets captured.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 11th, 2009 7:45 PM

I'm loving the new sprite for the Red Gyarados, I'm wondering if the non shiny one will look like that as well or are they going to give shiny Pokemon a different sprite


:t354:TG

Munch Dog July 11th, 2009 8:11 PM

<3 <3 <3 <3 That wild pokemon theme! I think the rest of the music is going to be pretty awesome if that's any indication.

Foxnordic July 11th, 2009 8:22 PM

the new sprite for red gyarados looks really sweet! and what is that building showed earlier in the video that gold is walking into? possibly a building similar to gts? or battle tower?

Charmageddon July 12th, 2009 12:59 AM

The new Gyrados sprite looks real badass.

Pyrax July 12th, 2009 1:03 AM

I like Gyarados' new sprite and the new wild battle music.

derozio July 12th, 2009 1:11 AM

Like everybody I too liked Gyrados's sprite. The OW was not clear but it was okay. I really would have loved it if those tracks for racing games were more curved and were like a.....um..... track? But whatever...
(Thanks Twilight Darkrai for always giving these updates!! You ROCK!!!! :D)

Mitchman July 12th, 2009 1:21 AM

Yeah twilite is good for Pokemon Sunday. Like I am for corocoro scans. Usually.
Anyway somethings to note
-the games are on the area near the national park. You can tell it right away.
-These better replace contests we need something new.
-The red gyarados. Why did it go on its side diagonally?
-Note how proper animation was used for it.
-Your pokemon seems to be underwater. Perhaps when you send it out it splashes underneath and you jump on?

That's true! ;).

-I seriously hope that whatever you said comes true! PLZ DO IT NINTENDO/GAMEFREAK!!!

Mitchman July 12th, 2009 1:43 AM

Seems like next week Lugia will be shown as well as ho-oh in battle. I mean they showed the entry screens for em and then a battle would make sense no?

Ryanniny July 12th, 2009 1:51 AM

Gyarados' new sprite looks lush
and i like how it rains at the lake of rage, makes it quite authentic
pokemon minigames look cool aswell, but i can imagine the hurdles one getting VERY hard
good updates, and hopefully we'll get given a new corocoro scan today (i mean it comes out in about 3 days?!)
oh yeah and the wild battle music being almost identical to the way it used to be (L)(L)(L)(L)
that was always the best battle music to me :D

thanks for uploading the pics & video etc Twilight

If, by battle, you mean the battle between Gold and Ho-Oh/Lugia then I am sure that I will love it! I will be very happy if they are shown next week.

ahmad_safwan July 12th, 2009 2:29 AM

lol! XD That would be really awesome!

Is there any info on which specific pokemon will we be able to use in those games?

Hypergaming July 12th, 2009 4:47 AM

THe new sprite for Red G. is amazing!!!

I do think the new minigames could be fun when they got harder.

Samme! July 12th, 2009 5:23 AM

I just heard on Serebii that each minigame is in its own building?? This is interesting because it doesnt seem like the area west of the National Park could accommodate so many buildings......???

But I also heard you can earn medals which would be awesome :)

So it's like a minigame version of the Battle Frontier? Awesome.

Mitchman July 12th, 2009 5:33 AM

I think its like 3 buildings 3 games in each.

ShinyBlaziken July 12th, 2009 5:51 AM

Could these Pokethlon buildings be west of Cianwood?

Or will the Pokethlon buildings be in different cities in Jotho?

Jorah July 12th, 2009 6:06 AM

I really love the Wild Pokemon Battle theme and the Surfing theme

Is the music playing at the mini game part new or reused? It's been so long since I played GSC that I can hardly remember any of the music XD

No its in the area next to the national park. Its kinda obvious really.

ShinyBlaziken July 12th, 2009 6:17 AM

Why are you so sure about that?

You can tell that's why. You walk in through a tub of sorts with white panels here and there:
http://www.filb.de/1083
Check the map. Also no other building looks like that in Johto and no the one in goldenrod is too big to be it.
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8616/leftnp.png
Proof. Also I love how this thread has a bunch of views.

BeachBoy July 12th, 2009 6:37 AM

/is still hoping for at least some Battle Tower news somewhere or something ;; EDIT: or was something confirmed? ._.; Photoshop, but nothing actually said huh? Mmm. :x

Anywho, loved this. The music was great, they did a superb job on Gyarados (though I loved Platinum's too) I thought the mini-games looked fun, and I'm really looking forward to all of this. :D

Lapras was the <3

One can see parts of a building underneath a cloud that covers the place where the BT had been in the Johto map, but outside of that, nothing on the BT, or Battle Frontier (if it is in) thus far.

I wonder what the other minigames will end up being... I imagine they'll work with WiFi, leastways. They look like they could be fun, and more entertaining (time wise at least) than Platinum's three minigames as well...

JP July 12th, 2009 7:52 AM

Loving the Red Gyarados sprite!

Mana July 12th, 2009 8:18 AM

I like the Gyrados sprite! :D

But surfing on the weird shadow shape still... damn :P Even with all those overworlds D: I guess it wouldn't look right riding a tododile across water XD

Eggie Poo Poo July 12th, 2009 12:18 PM

Red Gyrados's sprite looks great, I just wish these people would stop chattering so much so I can hear the music :D

(sigh...) Big let down that you can't see your Pokemon's overworld when Surfing. Eh, it was too much to ask for I guess (yet it seemed so logical to do at the same time).

The opening intro of that battle music (like as it fades from the game into the battle with water splashes and stuff) sounded weird, but the rest of the music was good.

Indeed, that's the way I feel about the whole surf sprite. Never really bothered me much anyways lol.

Samme! July 12th, 2009 5:50 PM

Don't you think the red gyarados should be a little bit bigger? He was supposed to be like on a crazy rampage and he just looks like he was frolicking around in the Lake of Rage. And he's smaller than Gold?

Sweet Smoochum July 12th, 2009 6:08 PM

Lol You made Gyarados sound cuter with your post. Frolicking. Well, Magikarp was forced to evolve, so maybe that's why it still frolics. It's not used to rampaging yet. I think this Gyarados sprite looks adorable. ^_^

I like the mini games featured. I don't think the one with the hurdles is the racing one they were talking about. The CoroCoro scan, with the beasts, showed artwork of the new girl who appears to be holding a steering wheel.

Wh1teW01f July 12th, 2009 6:40 PM

I just can't wait to have my lead pokemon (most likely my awesome Ninetails, Silverfire) following me around wherever I go!

Stronkadonk July 12th, 2009 6:40 PM

Epic. Simply amazing. Glad to see the Red Gyarados return. Nice new battle theme. The touch-screen games look like fail, though.

FireTears July 12th, 2009 6:43 PM

I love that new gyarados pose! The new sprites in HGSS are gonna be interesting and awesome to look at. Although, that overworld of gyarados looks kinda small in my opinion. Anyway, I am adding it to my team, definitely :3

Norg July 12th, 2009 8:38 PM

There's an episode.But is it related to this thread? I don't think so....(Don't -rep me for this one XD!)
Anyways, I liked it very much that HG/SS will have some good additions.

Sweet Smoochum July 13th, 2009 11:53 AM

The music for the mini games sound nice. I really the new battle music. Sounds similar to the original but not annoying. I like the rain effect on the water.

.Aero July 13th, 2009 12:43 PM

I lol'd at the walking Lapras in the video. xD This is great though!
