I actually never finished Crystal. I don't know why, just never got around for it.
I hope they have a Kanto so I can live it =3

Hokay. As i said b4, there actually is a chance that the kanto region WON'T be put in. In the SGC they could just get the map from RGB and stick it and take bits and change them, while in HGSS they'll have to do the whole kanto map in the DS's 3d format, meaning it would b twice the work 4 mappers. But the plus side is that if mappers DO do kanto, then there is a high chance that they would add more depth to it for the other people working on the project 2 balance it out. so these r the things i want 2 c...
-the 8 kanto badges r recorded on ur trainer card, not just telling u uv got 16 badges like SGC
-being able 2 get 1 of the 1st series starters when u get 2 pallet town
-a few more areas 2 explore through sinnoh hms (eg somebody said using rockclimb 2 go 2 areas)
i cant think of anything else now...

Tougher E4 after you get all 16 badges would be good, the E4 in G/S will sooo easy. Tougher gym leaders would be good also.

I'd like it to stay the same really, maybe revamp some maps like Viridian Forest.

I'm not sure it's going to happen, mostly because of the cash. I mean.. think about it.. would they make two game with the two regions? and get a bit of cash, or make two game with johto region and the other with kanto.

and if they haven't thought of this already, I hope they wont read it! :P

I think Kanto has to be in it. If its a re-make I don't think they'd take out one of the biggest parts of the game. I think they should stick with Kanto being in it and add a plot and more excitment to it and they will be alright. A bigger Johto would be pretty sweet as well. Or more things to do, because the region seemed kind of small b ut I really liked it. Maybe a revamp of some of the parts to expand them would help.

one of the things that pop up in my mind is that the touch screen also gets something to control your character instead of using the directional -A/B/X/Y buttons

caus now in battle you can touch the attacks or whatever you want but when running around you need to put the stylus away and start hitting the DS' buttons

oh, and a feature for the DSi:
Saving your adventure log on the memory card or something (to get a more detailed and all-time log)
or maybe extending this ability to the normal DS where you send your log to the wii and save it there (like making a new wii chanel like they made pkmn farm)

mentioning this 'saving on the DSi's mem card' makes me think of more stuff that could use this:
saving recorded battles
new box backgrounds

ghehe, have fun!

You're definitely not the only person who loved that feature, that is one thing i hope comes with Kanto. Of course i would like to see Kanto expanded and quite possibly some side quests to do well in Kanto aside from Gym leaders etc.

If they limit us on where to go, then so be it as I won't be mind. Though having the free will to travel anywhere would be great too as it gives us a chance at freedom and is more realistic. In real life, we don't always follow a pattern, and the games should expand that idea some more. Anyway, this doesn't bother me too much, but I agree it'll still be a plus for the Kanto region.

I too would like to see Kanto expanded and not brought down in size like they did before. It honestly didn't make sense for them doing that as it has been three years after the journey in Kanto and usually a large region like it doesn't decrease. Aside from the gyms, I too would like for some additional side quests. Maybe, instead of being given teh Silver Wing so easily, they can add a small plot around it jsut for the extra emphasis on it and additional fun for us [almost all of us]. I think a contest hall in Kanto and one in Johto will be nice as well. Making it go Wi-Fi will be a plus, even though it isn't likely they'll do it, but still a nice touch is so.

There are basically a lot of ideas that can be implemented into Kanto and the ideas are endless, not to mention the possibilities as well. I just hope they make something out of it really and make it live up to being the Kanto it is known to be by almost all.

No, I completely agree, kanto was half of the adventure. It gave for that awesome feeling of nostalgia and being able to catch more first gens was great I really hope they keep and re-vamp kanto and its adventures.

I really can't imagine them not keeping it. The game would be too short without it, even if they did change the story. And besides, not having to migrate from FRLG due to Kanto pokemon being available on a DS cart would be a whole lot easier and you don't have to sacrifice pokemon.

I loved being able to go back to Kanto. I was so excited when I found out in the original GS versions. (I even liked how the music there was different than the music in Johto.) I'm wondering, however, if they're going to just update the FrLg Kanto music or update the GS Kanto music for HG/SS.

I hope they redo maps like Viridian Forest and Mt Moon and I really want them to increase the gym leader's level. They were ridiculously easy.

I don't know. To make it 'harder' they'd have to actually program a better AI, imo, at least. Because all the old AI's only had high level Pokemon that attacked and used a Potion if Health reached below x. You're really better off just keeping what they had in D/P where you challenged other people from around the world if you want an actual challenge. BUT, I do realize not everyone is competitive at battling, etc, so in an in-game AI that supported better intelligence would be kind of nice if you didn't feel up to battling some random n00b and then his best friend which is some expert.

I think it would be cool if it were almost a two games in one kind of deal but still have one storyline throughout the game.

Kanto has a lot of potential, but what I'm looking forward to seeing Kanto with is the new graphics. I mean, right now it is hard to picture seeing as how FireRed and LeafGreen came out a few years ago with 3rd Generation graphics. I definitely saw the difference in Johto with the new graphic change and tiles, now I'd like to see Kanto as I'm sure it'll look like a fresh new area. I'm actually wondering if Kanto will be given new tiles from DPPt, like how Johto was given a bit [for example, the new trees].

Anyway, I'd like to see Kanto be given some twists and turns. In the original we could basically travel out of order, I'm hoping this stay, but I'd like it to be a bit more organized on how it all plays out. Seeing the levels higher will be a plus, as it'll finalyl add the realistic feel of a region growing rather than shrinking after three years. When I saw this in the orignal Gold/Silver/ and Crystal, it was disappointing to me, but hopefully that won't be the case this time.

I didn't like Kanto, mostly because there was nothing unique, unlike Sinnoh where each town had i different feel, (Snowpoint, Sunnyshore ect) so IMO Kanto was blah, i liked the games though.
so for me.
Johto
Sinnoh
Hoenn
Kanto

Im thinking that they should incorporate a remake of Yellow where you can journey through Kanto post game but they nclude a Pikachu that follows you around and you can get all 3 Kanto Starters!

Well its easy to see why Kanto would have shrunk in the second generation, there is a limit to space on the GBC cartridge. But since the DS can hold more most likely they will expand it a little more, perhaps even add another storyline.

Maybe they can elaborate more on the whole Magnet Train dilemma. Last time, it seemed like they were going to do something more with it, but they couldn't because lack of memory space. That's probably why there was only one Rocket grunt in Kanto. Due to the power plant missing a machine part, some towns in Kanto could have a power outage, meaning you can't access certain gyms. Once you fix the Magnet train problem, you can go to the other gyms. Those gyms you were unable to access earlier will have higher levels. Creating more of a challenge in the game.

Other things they can do:
~Open the Safari zone and make Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokemon available there after the National Dex is obtained.
~Open Cerulean Cave so you can battle powerful Pokemon so your Pokemon are strong enough to battle Red.
~Make the Seafoam Islands have a building and have some trees. The building can be Blaine's new gym. (That is, if they kept the idea of a volcano erupting in Cinnabar.)
~As for the place where Cal is, maybe they can add more trainers.
~Maybe they can have a contest building in Kanto (Vermilion City to be exact, seeing as Machop has been stomping the land flat so they could add a building there.) In the contest building, you can compete against: Leaf, Red's Mom, Jasmine, and Will. (I chose Will of the Elite Four because he seems to be the artistic type who would do very well.)

I don't know if anyone mentioned these before. If anyone has, please forgive me.

You know what I disliked about Generation 2? That the Viridian Forest was VERY-VERY small compared to the one of Generation 1. I hope the Forest remains in size as it was in FireRed/LeafGreen.

I hope the Magnet Train is better. Everyone I know, was hoping to get a new exciting adventure in there. But inside there was nothing.

More Rockets. A new subplot. And perhaps the chance of catching Celebi.

The Battle Frointer, perhaps where the Battle Tower was in Crystal.

Safari Zone, obviously. A bigger Kanto (G/S/C Kanto was very small.)

More things, adventures. Each time I play again G/S/C and I arrive to Kanto it seems that the adventure's over.

First off, the developers really need to flesh out Kanto's size. The Seafoam Islands shouldn't be a bunch of rocks, and the Viridian Forest shouldn't be a field.

Additionally, more Team Rocket in Kanto aside from one measly Grunt messing with the Power Plant would be appreciated. Also, Giovanni should appear somewhere in Kanto. Having him not appear in the originals was a total waste.

All in all, Kanto was really bad in G/S/C. It was also very anti-climatic. In short, Kanto needs a plot. Team Rocket should be the ideal solution to this problem.

Most likely they will have contest halls in Johto, more specifically in Goldenrod.

i would like to see kanto be more difficult than it was in the originals. I also want to see more gen 1 pkmn, and not have to find houndour and murkrow there instead of in johto.

What the heck is up with Peanut spamming crap all over the place? Half of that wasn't necessary, and the other half expressed little, and contributed nothing. ><

Anywho, yes, change the leveling and AI to work like Platinum. I'm not even sure what happened there, but I like it. Also... does this include Mt. Silver? Lots o' stuff there. Some nice PokeRadar chaining possibilities, maybe some trade-evo pokemon (like Steelix in Iron Island) and have Red "train" as you beat the e4 again and again, like Barry did.
