No, the Underground from Sinnoh was never brought back into the game, and I agree it would have been a nice feature to be introduced into Johto and/or Kanto as well for the game. I know many players liked this feature before as it gave them something extra to do.

However, the feature was replaced with something new [Rock Hunting]. When smashing rocks with the HM Rock Smash there are times when you may find a fossil, heart scale, or other items.

Derp.
I seriously doubt that, because the Battle Frontier in HG/SS has the exact same Battle Zone trees from Platinum (laziness), which makes absolutely no sense at all because Johto isn't a tropical region. Seems to me like they just copy + pasted it.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a tropical region.
There are palm trees like that in California but California is far, FAR, from tropical.

Also, it's by Olivine. Olivine is a harbor/beach location. Those types of trees are abundant by beach/oceanic locations.
I mean really, are we supposed to see forest/woodsy trees by the beach? Think about it for a second.

Lets see ... the customizing your room, the Daycare having that little pool of water outside so you don't have to run inside to see your Pokemon frolicking =P, the high level Miltank, Red's Snorlax with the original, more challenging moveset.

Yes. I live in Washington and there's forests/woods right next to beaches everywhere.

And also the Battle Frontier in HG/SS also kept the volcanic grass from Platinum (on the lower level of the frontier). Now think about this: Johto isn't a volcanic region.

For those who are debating on the Battle Frontier, it is to be remembered that the HSGS remakes were thought up before Platinum, yes, but were not fully worked on until afterwards. This being said, that means features for the games could have been going in and out until the game satisfied the game designers of the remake. Seeing as Platinum was released first it is highly probable that this game came with the Frontier first, and to keep compatability with all the game's frontier they just kept the same data and moved it over into HG/SS. Regardless of whether the frontier was thought up for whichever game first, it has been kept the same no less. Yes, the feature could have been changed, but Game Freak has their reasons. Some like the idea of it, some don't, but keep in mind it isn't a mandatory feature of the game, it's 100% optional unless needbe.

Proves my point even more. Locations differ - I see palm trees on beaches in California, and California is about as tropical as Canada is. Just because you see it one way doesn't mean that's how it should be.
Volcanic grass? Could be snow, could be dust, could be tiny little nanobots surveying the ground.

We can look at it another way.
Sinnoh is not a tropical region either. In fact, it's even less "tropical" than Johto.


EDIT: I also like how when people see things that are the same, it's LOL LAZY, and when they see something that's changed it's OMG RUINED

The people on the Battle Zone refer to Sinnoh as a separate region, therefore the Battle Zone isn't technically part of Sinnoh (or at least that's what the translators thought).

Basically, it just kinda bothers me that they directly copied from Platinum, that's all. But you are right, locations can differ.

Most likely that.

Yeah, they removed it from HGSS. Pretty inconvenient.

Hmmm... I have to say nothing. I like the game just like it is. It looks like Gold & Silver and doesn't have anything unneeded. And pokéradar is just a way to cheat to get shinys quicker and I haven't used it even once for catching shinys as I don't like it. I have caught about 8 shiny pokémon without cheats or pokéradar in my life (most of them in Gold and there's also Shiny Hoothoot, HG).

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.

Actually, this feature still remains luckily. Your mother still saves your money after every battle you earn cash from. There are also certain points in the game where she still purchases items for you as well, such as the Moon Stone like in the originals and more.

Considering this feature links to the only way for rematches against the Gym Leaders and other trainers, then yes I see it as needed feature right now. If the VS. Seeker was brought back like it could have been, then I might have said the phone feature wasn't needed in the game, but still it plays a role no less.

I think the reason they put the same battle frontier in johto is so they can later after the sinnoh part of the anime ash and company go back to johto and challenge the "new" battle frontier, well thats at least what i think.

I think it has to do more familiarity. If you have both games with the same Battle Frontier, you can plan out the usage of the Facility and which Pokemon to challenge with. It also helps if you've beaten a Frontier brain previously in D/P/P as I'm sure it'll make it easier the second time around.

I want my Vs. Seeker. :| I hate calling certain people on certain days for a rematch you may or may not get. I prefer running 100 steps and clicking a button around trainers. Much easier. :/

I understand what you mean but for a person that hasn't played the original G/S/C, like me, will prefer the new phone since it's a new thing. To be honest, I didn't utilize the VS. Seeker as much as I should have. The phone will make it easier for me since it reminds me of the rematches.

The phone is a nice feature and I say it's nice that it was kept like in the originals, however that isn't to say its purpose in the game couldn't have been altered since GSC. Have the phone used for the game's main storyline, and other minor details for calling other people within the game if need be. However, take away the rematch feature from the phone, and bring in the VS. Seeker as a bonus. As for the Gym Leader's keep it like it was in Platinum for their rematch during certain days and/or times of the week for another battle against them.
