In fact, the only event I can think of that happens the exact same between HG/SS and Crystal is the Dratini thing. It's for similar reasons why Leaf does not appear in the game. Plus, in case you haven't noticed, even girls who played R/B/Y still played as Red in a lot of cases. These are supposed to be diehard remakes, and there are a bunch of people who would actually flip out if they had to face someone else besides Red. And not in the good way. FireRed and LeafGreen weren't actually very succesful compared to their originals, and since Gold and Silver were so successful, they might be taking precautions. Plus, is ther really that much of a difference whether or not she's in the game? They didn't want to add, only replace, which is why Soul is taking the place of Kris and why Leaf isn't in there. Plus, beacause of how they made previous games, Leaf was kinda put in to avoid gender dicrimination lawsuits (you would be shocked at how many people would do that or actually did it during the Game Boy Color Generation).

Was this rant necessary? No, not really.
Does it make a point? Yes, I think it does.

Oh, and whoever started the Mario-Red thinmg, don't bring it up anymore.
Female players who took part in the original RBY played as Red because he was the only available protagonist available in the game. The first female protagonist didn't come out until second generation, Crystal version, which is who we know as Kris. Also, HeartGold and SoulSilver hold more than just the Extreme Speed Dratini from Crystal, but also the side plot including Suicune and Eugine.

Though, like you said the game was basically sticking to its original status, that being Red placed back within the game and also the initial ending of the game, until later game play. So, Leaf being not included isn't much of a big deal as some may think it may be, and she might not have been needed in the first place. Would things have changed drastically if her appearance had been made? Possibly, depending on the situation, but more than likely not. So, I wouldn't take Leaf not being included within the game hard to some, the game is still great as it is.

Could it have been better? Of course, any game lurks its improvements, but where it stands now HGSS is a very highly wanted game by most and has exceptional ratings needless to say without the inclusion of Leaf or Kris for that matter.

Do you know what would be cool? If the trainer on Mt. Silver was Blue/Leaf or Red on Mt. Silver depending on what Pokemon game was in the GBA slot, the same way there are different pokemon that appear depending on what game is in the GBA slot.

What was it called again?

Oh yea, the "Dongle Method"? The "Dual-Slot Mode"?

I think it would have been nice for Leaf to be added in HGSS but I dont think its necessary. I know I will still want/enjoy the game when it comes out, in Canada :) I also think that Kris could have been added in as well. But oh well like others said its not a remake of Crystal.
