Actually, I doubt they'll change much of the Pokémon encounters, because in a recent blog from last week [/a thread was made with this blog here as well] One of the workder on the game said they are trying to keep the game more to it's original counterpart for the old Gold and Silver fans.

For the person who said no Bidoof, I agree. I really don't want to see Bidoof. I despise Bidoof. I refuse to use it. Same goes for Zigzagoon. I actually liked the early game Pokemon. It kind of made sense to see some Kanto Pokemon early because New Bark Town is right near Kanto. It's just a Surf away. Besides, Pokemon like Poliwag, Slowpoke, Eevee, and Oddish evolve into Johto Pokemon. Though, I wish I didn't have to trade Poliwhirl to make it evolve. I rather just have it evolve by giving it the King's Rock. With all the Kanto Pokes at the beginning, it allows me to focus on my starter and get it to evolve before catching a 2nd Pokemon. So far (in Silver), I have Ampharos, Poliwhirl (evolves into Politoed), Sudowoodo, Eevee (soon to be Espeon or Umbreon), Quilava, and Farfetch'd. 3 of them are Kanto Pokemon, however, 2 of them can evolve into Johto Pokemon.

Pokemon I wouldn't mind seeing early: Aipom, Teddiursa, Sneasel, Smoochum, Elekid, Magby, Misdreavous, Murkrow, Houndour...

Houndour for one definitely needs to show up earlier because I don't know why it was placed in the Kanto to begin with.

^Agreed.

Some of those may be version exclusives though.

I remember Teddiursa was exclusive to Gold.

Agreed. If anything, they should put it in Burnt Tower or at least where you were able to catch Vulpix in Silver. I really want to use Houndour in Johto instead of going to Kanto and have all my Pokemon way stronger than it.

and gligar needs to be found earlier, it'd be a good help against jasmine and pryce, and it wouldn't be too bad against whitney.

Yeah, Gligar and Houndour definitely needs to make an earlier appearance if anything were to be changed with their location of encounter. For one, they are both two Pokémon that I actually like too.

I hope they do keep it ornate and similar to the originals, but i would like some new things aswell
One of the game developers (or something along the lines) has mentioned in an interview about adding "action" type features to the games

Did they specify on the word "action" and features in relation to one another?

Though, yeah if they keep the Pokémon encounters to how it was in teh original, I wouldn't mind at all, as it would be like playing GSC all over again, which is what I want it to feel like. Though, I can't help but hope they put Houndour in its rightful region. Why would they even think of making it so late in the game, and in another region for that matter?

It says "action element" to be precise
i can't help wonder what that would be though :S

Hearing the word element reminds me, that what you heard I believe was not referring to the remake, but to another game...

Anyway, there are a lot of things that can change, early Pokémon encountering has a chance.

Can't we get Togekiss really early with the Togepi egg Oak gives us?

What about Natu and Smeargle? Were they catchable early on since they are in the Ruins of Alph?

And what possibilities will the Odd Egg give us? Perhaps a shiny Tyrogue will help vs. Whitney. xD

And Oblivious Slowpoke would help against Attract. :P

natu and smeargle were in the ruins of alph, but you could only get to them with surf, so they were really available after the 4th gym, which kinda sucks cos natu would be good against morty.

Didn't Togekiss evolve with a Shiny Stone? They could always leave the Shiny Stone after the Elite Four so that way it'll stay a Togetic, but only until after the Elite.

I guess... but that would kind of suck. xD

I forget... can you get Slowpoke in the Slowpoke Well? Or are there only Zubat? O_O

I think they should put the Shiny Stone around the 6th/7th Gym, like in D/P/Pt. That way people will want to play as Togepi to get Togekiss, plus it means we aren't getting a really good unit in the early game.

I think Slowpoke was allowed to be caught. That one slips my mind at the moment.

If Slowpoke can be continued to be caught in the Slowpoke Well, then I might actually consider catching one and using it as my water base type.

Getting a Slowking would be nice in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Lol Looks like we're all going to use Slowpoke as our main water type. ^_^

Other Water types I'm considering besides Slowpoke: Staryu, Corsola, Mantine, Seel, Tododile, Chinchou, Politoed/Poliwrath?... Slowpoke is actually a smart idea, you have both Psychic and Water moves...maybe you could teach it an Ice, Dark or Ghost move as well? Like Shadow Ball for instance. You could actually teach Slowpoke Flamethrower and Earthquake via TM! (Just looked at Serebii.)

Earthquake would be useless on a Slowpoke/Slowbro/Slowking.

Feraligatr will probably be my main water type.

I can't recall any other early game pokemon besides sentret, hoot-hoot and whatever bug types.

I will end up fishing or surfing for a Staryu and then acquire a water stone so I will be able to evolve it into Starmie and use that as my water pokemon.

Although you could have gone through most of the game with them and their evolutions, I am hoping this is not the case for HG/SS with the possibility of a more difficult game.

The only "decent" and easily catchable Pokemon in Gold and Silver before Goldenrod city are Mareep, Wooper, Hoppip, and Poliwag (to Politoed). Hopefully, HG/SS adds more useful Pokemon such as Phanpy (added in Crystal), Teddiursa, or Aipom earlier in the game. :]]]

**Note that I did not mention any first generation Pokemon since I want HG/SS to focus mostly on the second generation. (Not that there were many good 1st gen Pokemon available either! ^__^;; ).
But doesn't that make the game a whole lot less challenging?

Yeah I made a mistake. >_<; Early game Pokemon are cool!

And my main water type will either be Poliwag (Politoed at the end) or Corsola (my main water type in Silver). :)
