I am here to recommend that a dedicated section be made either as a sub-forum in the D/P/P section or get one of it's very own for the confirmed 2nd Gen remakes Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, i feel that otherwise the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, Metal & Color and General Pokémon Games sections will be over flooded with topics related to the two games, if given there own section i think it'll help keep people from reposting topics that ask the same questions over and over and allow for a wider discussion of the games without giving the Mods a headache when topics start appearing in the wrong sections (which we all know will happen sooner or later).

I personally don't think so. They were just confirmed and it's too early to make a forum

Maybe when more info comes out later in the summer we can make a subforum on them.

I honestly don't see a new section being made anyway.
I see it being integrated in with DPPt. With four mods, they should be able to handle it.

But like Godot said, it's way to early for a new anything for it. It won't even be out in Japan until Fall and the States probably won't get it until Q2 '10

Um, no there shouldn't. There's already a thread about the upcoming game here, in the Handheld Pokémon Games (GBC, GBA, DS) section.
You make it sound like that's the only thing that we're going to be needing... one little thread in an old forum...

In a few months or so, closer to the release of the new games, I would think that there would be a forum or sub-forum somewhere. But right now, it's just too early, as others have pointed out. Creating it now would give little discussion to something that doesn't need much other than speculations and things among that line.

A sub-forum to D/P/Pt? Why on earth would that happen? These games probably aren't going to feature any Pokémon from that generation anyway.

Knowing the pattern of the games, I'm pretty sure HeartGold and SoulSilver will have the original GSC Pokemon to obtain normally, while some newer Pokemon after they get the National Dex. That's what happened to FireRed and LeafGreen, so I'm sure that HeartGold and SoulSilver will contain Pokemon from other regions.

Anyways, FireRed and LeafGreen combined with the Advanced Generation Forum (even though it technically is first generation), so I'm sure HeartGold and SoulSilver will combine with DPPt. It's too early to make one now.

It's not really too early.
I mean, you can discuss what you think will happen in specifics. Speculation, speculation, speculation. ;]
A little thread doesn't suffice. Aforementioned thread has grown exponentially in the past twelve hours ;p
Afterall, PC had a FRLG section, and it was later merged into the 3rd Gen Section a few years later. So, I don't see why it can't be like that a few years from now with a new section as well. :)

No. Just no.

Let's wait a few weeks before the game comes out, then see if the Admins will do it.
That's too long to wait ;p
A section means you can speculate in depth, instead of in one big thread where your post will be buried immediately, and then someone else will discuss it, and ideas will be repeated constantly ):

I think it would be nice if discussion of the game was allowed outside of just that one thread, but at the same time.. I don't think it needs an entire section. Yet. It's not releasing outside of Japan until 2010, so we've still got awhile. Plus, it's own section, would mean it's own mods. ~_~ Is all that really worth it? A whole section? Only so much can be said about it at current.

Exactly. The only reason I can really see HeartGold and SoulSilver being added to the Diamond, Pearl, Platinum forum would be due to the fact that it's going to be a DS game. Any other reason wouldn't really make sense. At least when FireRed and LeafGreen were added to the Advanced Generation Games it made sense because it was a forum dedicated to that generation of gaming. Not the specific generation within the game, but the generation of the gaming platform.

We are already having a big debate in one of the staff forums over when to put up a GSDS forum (and also exactly where to put it). It will happen one day and when the time is right, it'll be there. For now, since there is zero information on it, the existing speculation threads that've been there for over a year are still pretty good ways to get your opinion known on the games.

So yeah, it'll happen but we don't know exactly when. Might be later today, tomorrow, Sunday, or three weeks from now.

Dunno if I should close this or not since it'll probably be the same ideas debating back and forth. 8| *shrug*

What would be discussed there? There is no information about the game. The only topics we would see, would be polls on whether you will buy them or discussion topics on what could be in the game. An d there are already three of those.

That's basically the thought behind it. And, who doesn't like to discuss things in-depth? :D

Yes but they are all over the place and a mess, this way we keep it all in one place and limit the amount of topics we get telling us that new Pokémon games are coming out, and besides there will screens shown on Sunday, there not going to announce it on TV without screens or videos, so there will be things to discus, and if they had there own section the discussions would be easier to find, which would result in a lot less repeat threads, which would mean less work for the mods (I'm sure you would all like less threads to have to lock and direct to another topic, which will happen allot come Sunday, you'll see).

@ Lightning: thats good to hear, and yeah if your already thinking about it your selfs you might as well lock this, it'll only end up becoming a spammed up argument between us who would like a section now, and those who feel it's too early.
