I swear I actually just saw a clip of the magnet train from HG/SS before the commercial! LOL
It was only for a second and hard to tell, because it looked 3D and at an angle, but I swear I saw the gold player.

WindBlows August 1st, 2009 3:23 PM

ZOMGGGGG!!!!
The train part, it will air, and it looks awesome... the camera changes like the torn world or something...
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMFG

GymLeaderSilver August 1st, 2009 3:24 PM

This is going to be so awesomely super sensationalistic bro!!! Can't wait to see the footage once its up. Excited to see what the train will look like =D

ckn August 1st, 2009 3:24 PM

man you guys are lucky -_- im going to filb.de and im just gonna keep refreshing until they upload it

Kyledove August 1st, 2009 3:26 PM

Uh it ended already? All they showed was this 'Yellow forest' course on the Pokewalker where you can find wild pikachu...great?

WindBlows August 1st, 2009 3:27 PM

I'm uploading a video from the HGSS part! 8D

The end.

Pretty sure the 'Yellow Forest' course has wild pikachu...as in the artwork she showed. The player already had a chikorita following behind and it was on the right side of the screen on the pokewalker.

processr August 1st, 2009 3:31 PM

Am I right in thinking that this is the first proper confirmation of Kanto being in the game? o.o

- The topic is the Johto region and KANTO region!
- Look at that shinkansen! (So the shinkansen DOES have something to do wit the episode!) Note: Shinkansen is the Magnet Train.
- An NPC unlocks a new Pokéwalker area. Apparently you can get a Chikorita there.

YouTube video here




The end. Short but very revealing (though the fact that the Train IS IN THE GAME already confirmed Kanto - finally you can get it in your brains).

So Kanto is finally confirmed by an official source... Well, at least all of the users worrying about it can relax, now. The post-game release of Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza will most likely take place in Kanto, after all, although I wonder if we might also be seeing the return of Cerulean Cave and Mewtwo. I doubt it, except if Nintendo intends to leave the 3rd Generation behind as they appear to be doing, then it would be necessary to do so...

...On the other hand, the PokeWalker presents a second outlet for this...and I am honestly quite surprised that the generation's starters would be obtainable so easily. If that is true, then I wonder if it means the inclusion of the Kanto and Hoenn starters, as well...along with any other number of missing Pokemon...

EDIT: In that case, disregard the last part...although the idea is still possible.

Well, let this be a lesson for you, then: get the facts straight first, then type. Heh.

Anyway, even if it does not have as much bearing on what was shown today, the speculation still stands.

bobandbill August 1st, 2009 3:51 PM

Early video link - with no sound from the actual show. Not the greatest quality, but hey!

Well, finally here it is:


Sorry about lateness but my Internet is being a b*tch.

SilentHeroX August 1st, 2009 4:03 PM

The bullet train animation looked nice also looks like Kanto being in the game is official so all the fans can stop being worried about that.

Forci Stikane August 1st, 2009 4:04 PM

...From September 18th until November 10th, there will be a Wi-Fi event to unlock a new PokeWalker course.

...If I am understanding this correctly, that is.

I also enjoy what they have done with the Shinkansen/Magnet Train. They really are going even farther with these games.

GunSaberSeraph August 1st, 2009 4:50 PM

I'm so glad that Kanto has been officially confirmed. Now all the people who couldn't put two and two together have nothing to worry about.

WindBlows August 1st, 2009 4:52 PM

A translated something from a screenshot I took:

Samme! August 1st, 2009 5:04 PM

Haha that was funny! Magnet Train looks friggin amazing!

WindBlows August 1st, 2009 5:20 PM

Hmm...
Whatever, the topic is the same, right?
He wants to know if the hero is from Johto. :P

GymLeaderLance99 August 1st, 2009 5:22 PM

Well, at least now, people who worried about Kanto can relax. Would've been great if they showed some more, though, instead of branching off into the Pokewalker. The Magnet Train looks great, though. Hopefully, we'll be getting some more info about Kanto in the next few weeks, like stuff about the Gyms, the possible Kyogre/etc. roaming there, etc. I'd like a concept map, though. XD

Sweet Smoochum August 1st, 2009 7:01 PM

This is awesome. I love the magnet train. I didn't expect it to be in 3D. The train station looks nice and very modern. I noticed in Vermilion port, that the floor is see-through and you can see the waves moving underneath. To the person who translated that, thanks. I don't mind that they didn't show us Kanto (outside). (I want it to be a surprise.) The magnet train is confirmation enough. (I'm so glad that people will finally stop questioning whether or not Kanto will be in the game. lol)

whats 4chan because I hear about it all the time
back on topic
I really like the animation for the magnet train, it looks so cool


:t354:TG

ckn August 1st, 2009 8:19 PM

the 3D train was so unexpected! and glad to know they showed only a smidget of kanto i want it to surprise me and make me piss myself lol.

and the yellow garden is interesting they say that the pikachu there have a special move... i wonder what it is???hopefully its a useful one

Mitchman August 1st, 2009 8:46 PM

Oh finally. I mean now Kanto disbelievers can now stop and the magnet train being 3D is plain awesome.

Ayselipera August 1st, 2009 9:55 PM

Wow they really out did themselves on the Magnet Train.
Yay for Kanto confirmation! No more people constantly asking about it!

Ryanniny August 1st, 2009 11:31 PM

(sorry if this has been said)
On the youtube video in the first post, if you stop the video at 1:47 it shows a preview of next week, and its a screen of 9 legendaries
BUT I CAN'T WORK OUT WHAT THE FIRST ONE IS :(
the others are Lugia, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia + Giratina(origin)
so i'm guessing a nice list of legendaries available in the game, and hinting that the giratina we get from the arceus egg will be in origin forme?
Also, as they are all in Pokedex order, The first picture is confusing me even more o.O, Because Celebi comes after Lugia + Ho-oh, and the only ones coming before them are Mew + Mewtwo? perhaps mew's gonna be catch-able...
But still, I can't work out what it is, can anyone else?

Wings Don't Cry August 1st, 2009 11:44 PM

I really think they should get a new guy for the Chimchar Costume, Chimchars are meant to be small and cute that thing is just huge, they need a kid to play a Chimchar.

Also it looks like it'll take about 30 seconds to get to Kanto from Johto, mainly because of the 3-d train coming in.

Mew~ August 2nd, 2009 1:08 AM

Heres a more higher quaility uploaded by me (pokeamvstudio. same as the quality on filb.de) The quaility will improve after 5 minutes.

The magnet train looks awsome (but it looks a little like one of the bosses from sonic rush, only theres no eggman in it XD)

The writing underneath says his Japanese name, so it's definatly Mewtwo.

ah right, i cant read japanese so i had no clue
well, looks like mewtwo's returning then.
making RSE + FR/LG for Hoenn + Kanto legendaries useless, as they can all be caught some way in generation 4 on DPPt + HGSS (exception of Mew (pokemon ranch i tihnk?) and deoxys)

Sweet Smoochum August 2nd, 2009 2:53 AM

The new mart looks nice. It's better than Platinum's. I like how they added the table and chairs in there.

The 3D magnet train looks very nice. I like the station itself as well. Very cool.

The Pokewalker has nice music. Very cute. ^_^

Vermilion port's building looks nice. I like the new sprites they showed. ^_^

xxChazxx August 2nd, 2009 5:37 AM

Couldn't you catch a Pikachu in Kanto anyway? Why add a forrest for this?

So you can get it before Kanto.

GreyShadow August 2nd, 2009 6:08 AM

Wow the train's angle looks amazing.

Mew~ August 2nd, 2009 10:52 AM

Heres a translation i found i have no idea if its wrong XP

"HG & SS update!! after hall of fame, you can go to kanto." then it says "exclusive!" and goes to the scene with gold inside the dock and the blue text says "you can go to kanto by boat" then the train scene "or this way?!" then the glittery text "more infocoming soon!" then back to the scene with the girl"new info on pokewalker. you can check your progress over wi-fi!" then the scene in the mart "sept. 18- nov. 10 EVENT! pick up your pika forest map"(so pika forest is an event)

Mew was available in Pokemon Ranch and Deoxys has been involved in a Mystery Gift event, so those two have been made available for Diamond and Pearl directly. However, if this is true, then Latios and Latias are still left out. ...As is Celebi, disappointingly, although it is not a Kanto or Hoenn Legendary and will likely be saved for an event.

Sweet Smoochum August 2nd, 2009 11:00 AM

As long as we can obtain Celebi in some way, I'm happy. (As long as I don't have to travel to get one.) I really love the music on the Pokegear. I'm definitely going to use it. I'm not going to shake it like others will. XD

Mitchman August 2nd, 2009 11:54 AM

While it has been seen and posted a gajillion times the preview is much clearer in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juNGSEfFRoE

Dunsparce August 2nd, 2009 12:11 PM

Not a very exciting one this week, but at least the Kanto Speculation stupidity will stop now.

Personally, I have no idea why all those people put Kanto's inclusion into question in the first place.

I always thought of it was a given.

TAKUORO August 2nd, 2009 12:51 PM

Good!
its official now even if it was a little obviuos
I like the magnet train i wish that something happens there like an ambush of team rocket
that will be cool *-*
they should have talked about the mewtwo rumors touhgt >.<

mikey August 2nd, 2009 1:58 PM

The Magnet Train looks so cool. I can't wait!

ah yeah forgot about [email protected]
heh, maybe they'll crop up...
seeing as though they're getting rid of the need for GBA slot to get legendaries.

NintendoWalkthrudude August 2nd, 2009 4:59 PM

This is straight from Pokebeach:
This week's Pokemon Sunday has officially confirmed that Kanto will be in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Shokotan, the hostess in charge of the remakes' news, directly stated, "After you beat the Elite Four, you can go to Kanto." As seen to the right, the show then revealed a clip of Gold after getting off a boat. The blue text at the bottom of the screen says, "You go to the Kanto region by boat" and the sailor he is talking to asks, "You came from Johto?" The boat is the S.S. Aqua, which ran from Johto's Olivine City to Kanto's Vermillion City in the original games. Later, the show also revealed the redesigned Magnet Train, which looks very similar to the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train (which I rode!).
Additionally, the first Wi-Fi event for the PokeWalker has been announced in which a special course called "Yellow Forest" can be unlocked. The course is full of wild Pikachu available for capturing. Some of the Pikachu will have a special attack, but it is currently unknown. The Wi-Fi event will span from September 18th to November 10th in Japan.
There should be new HeartGold and SoulSilver information earlier than usual this month since CoroCoro magazine will be released on the 11th instead of the usual 15th. Thanks go to Yaminokame for all of the translations above!

Might I just ask who you are talking too? Anyway...
Is it me or did the port get changed a bit?

C0d3 br3ak3r August 3rd, 2009 6:33 AM

Umm... I'm new, but I've been keeping myself tuned in to all this HGSS buzz. It comes out on September 12 this year in Japan. There are currently 39 days until it comes out in Japan. If you need any more info, visit me if you can.

I can't wait to get my soul silver imported. :) I preorded full price already, I am psyched.

Norg August 3rd, 2009 8:58 PM

SO will the poke walker teach moves 2 your pokemon u dont want to learn or can u manage it using this device

Sweet Smoochum August 5th, 2009 5:19 AM

With the Pokewalker, you don't get the experience until you send your Pokemon back to Heart Gold/Soul Silver. When you get your Pokemon back, it will level up and then it can learn new moves.

That's a good thing, too, because then you don't have to worry about going to a move tutor to reteach moves.

Anyone else notice how in Vermilion port, the water is moving underneath the floor? The floor is actually see-through so you can see the waves. It's really pretty.

bluecat August 5th, 2009 10:03 AM

Oh wow that train looks awesome! Looks just like one of the ones I saw while in Tokyo this summer. And look at that Poke Walker! :9

My excitement for this game keeps reaching new levels. :D

Haza August 5th, 2009 4:05 PM

Very happy to see this stuff. So does it say you get to Kanto by Train and Boat or is the train used to go somewhere else?

It'll probably be the same situation as in G/S/C. You take the boat to reach Kanto for the first time, and then you have to complete the Power Plant subplot to activate the train.

Second Coming of Jebus August 6th, 2009 1:09 AM

Thank Jebus they are adding Kanto. I would've punched my neighbour's cat if they didn't add it in.
