What would we discuss here? What we think will be in it? Cause if so, then the best place to post would be the speculation thread... But I dunno, I'm not really an expert on these rules.

Erm... The pics seems to show the area as much bigger... Do you think It'll be more stuff in there, like more... Things? I can't really get the word, but they gotta make this place containing a lot more things now, right... Additions, or something (I just got some kind of meltdown in my knowledge of the english language...).

Whatever, I hope they'll add more Pokémon species in there...

I liked the old Bug Catching Contests, but we need better Pokemon to catch. The only real reason people did it was to get Butterfree & Beedrill (if they couldn't be bother to level Caterpie and Weedle up to Lv. 10), and Scyther and Pinsir. Maybe some Ariados or Ledian. And, after you get the National Dex, you should start to encounter Bugs from Hoenn and Sinnoh like Surskit and Combee

True. I also did it for the everstone though. But then again, one stone, all the Pokemons from there and we're done. It wasn't like...exciting or something.

I'd like to see Heracross in the contest, slightly rarer than Scyther/Pinsir.

Meh. Will probably just take part to catch a Scyther and then be done with it on my first playthrough.

I like Bug Catch Contest and it's Sun Stone prize. I hope that they add Hoenn and Sinnoh bugs there after we have completed the game. I also hope that they keep those items in Park area. (Dig, Full Heal...) When I played first time Gold, I didn't notice that little hole there before I "ran" into that hedge (with emulator).

Anyone has Club Nintendo codes that you don't need? I want those.
If you have one code for me I can trade you my Explorers of Sky code as I can't put it because I have registered already one. (Registered my brother's game and now I can't register mine...) Someone have same thing? PM me.
I know there's nobody who wishes to do this xD
I'm talking about Club Nintendo of Europe.

I just want to do the Bug-Catching Contest again. It's so nostalgic. Also, I rather like that Sun Stone as first prize.

Heracross would be a nice touch!

But who doesn't like a good Scyther?

I enjoy the Bug-Catching Contests, but once I've gotten all the prizes and caught all the rare Pokemon, I usually stop competing. I'll definitely use it to catch a Scyther for my in-game team, though.

The Bug Catching Contest will be a great experience once more as it was before in the original Gold and Silver.
The nostaligic feel of the game will return to me as well as many who enjoyed it before.

Although, it was a great place to earn new bug Pokémon such as Scyther and more, along with exclusive items, it did need a bit more to it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see included Hoenn bug types as well as possible Sinnoh bug types featured in the Bug Catching Contest once the player has achieved the National PokéDex. It seems like the most probable aspect to be introduced into the contest later on. It will also give players more to catch afterwards and possibly new items that may be needed for various reasons. Basically the fact that it is making a return and the fun it was once before will be the best part to expect once the game is released.

What I hated about the Bug Contest is you could only do it on 2 days or something like that and you couldn't change the day on the old gameboys. I think they should extend the days you can do it. Also new pokemon should be added to it as i kinda got bored with it as every time only like 6 diff pokemon came up (if I was lucky)

I'll be doing it for the items :)
I'm hoping new items will be included.
I am also hoping to capture a Scyther or a Paris :P
I want the pokemon like Scyther to be alot rarer though.

Oh the nostalgia. :)

I have a feeling they'll add more species on the onset for some reason. But yeah, the prizes need revamping. Perhaps a random elemental stone (not Sun) for first, as in the original Gold and Silver you couldn't get them until Kanto? (I know, Crystal's another story altogether). Then Sun for second, and an Everstone for third. :)

I 100% agree, they defiantly need to make moon stones obtainable sooner. You have to wait till post-elite 4 just to evolve a Jigglypuff T_T

I'm looking forward to seeing what silly game mechanics gamefreak will make this time(not that I'll dirty my virgin hands with hexadecimal.)
I saw one on G/S/C, but it is very possible that with the inclusion of some bug pokemon that can fight well, or evolve into pokemon that can fight well(skorupi, yanma, nincada), that the mechanics will change.
