4th Gen 4th Gen Evolutions in HGSS pre-National Dex?

[iTzKaizer]

I hope yes, but not too soon. I wouldn't like to pwn all pokemons with Magnezone, Tangrowth or Ambipoms before even the 5th badge. They'll make those moves that make level up some pokemons to be learned after, and that Pokemon that evolves at Mt. Cront, don't evolve or eveolve in a cave after at least the 6th badge (ice path, Victory Road, not Mt. Silver, don't be cruel gamefreak!)

If that were to happen, then...The game wouldn't be right to be called a remake, it would be more of an entirely new Johto. The new Pokémon should only be obtained after the National Dex, or else the game really wouldn't feel right. It would be more new evolution on teams and such,

 

[JP]

I think that Pokemon that don't require something special to evolve and that were introduced in later generations could be put within pre-national dex game.

Chances are though, they'll block them off until after you beat the E4 or receive the national dex.

 

[Zelda]

I hope they don't have any. Like I said many times, they should leave it for the next generation. It wouldn't feel like a remake if we had new evolutions in it.

 

[Artemis]

I strongly think they might stick to the mysterious blocked evolutions like they did in FRLG. It makes sense to do and will keep the game closer to its older originals.

 

[Zelda]

It would only make sense to block them until after the Elite Four. It'll make the remakes feel more like a remake.

 

[Aether]

I wouldn't mind if they did... I'd really like to use a Weavile to be a part of my E4 team. They probably won't though.

FR/LG =/= HG/SS

I think they'll add it to the dex.
HG/SS looks way hi-tech and improved, even compared
to platinum, so I think the dex-size could be expanded.
Besides, what's the point of removing pokemon.. I mean,
FR/LG was Gen 3, this is Gen 4. Also, Ruby/Sapphire allowed
the evolution of Golbat, so you never know. I think it's
a 50/50 chance, really. You never know what they'll decide,
But i doubt that "No evolution" is the higher choice.
​

Wrong, these are remakes and are retaining the authenticity of the old games, not polluting them with new Pokemon. I know very well what they'll decide, and you can quote me on this when the time comes.

 

[mystery913]

most likely they are going to block them until you get the national dex. but if you did get one of the 3rd or 4th gen pokemon before the numbers will be replaced with question marks just like if you get a pokemon not in the sinnoh dex thats what it would have

 

[Ivysaur]

If you try to evolve Golbat into Crobat in FR/LG, the evolution is immediately stopped until you beat the League, get 60 pokémon in your dex, and talk to Prof Oak to get the National Dex.

My guess? You'll have to do this as well, with the difference you'll need to practically beat Kanto to get to Pallet and talk to Prof. Oak here.

 

[Second Coming of Jebus]

I really hope they don't block them...I want me a weavile!

 

[Artemis]

If they block them then it keeps the game more of a remake.

If you try to evolve Golbat into Crobat in FR/LG, the evolution is immediately stopped until you beat the League, get 60 pokémon in your dex, and talk to Prof Oak to get the National Dex.

My guess? You'll have to do this as well, with the difference you'll need to practically beat Kanto to get to Pallet and talk to Prof. Oak here.

If not this then they'll make you probably see all the Pokémon included in the Johto Dex first, like they did in DPPt. Which will probably lead to adding more trainers with more or different Pokémon in the Johto.

 

[Zelda]

Maybe some will evolve before the Elite Four but then again they might just block it. To me it'll only feel like a remake if they block it until after the Elite.

HG/SS evolutions

do you think you will be able to evolve say a yanma or sneasel if you catch one or any poke with a new evo?

 

["Shadow Lugia"]

I'm guessing it'll be like FR/LG, where the Pokemon can't evolve until you get the National Dex.

 

[inhisxeyes]

I agre with SL, you'll probably have to get the National Dex before you can get a Yanmega or a Weavile.
Which will be a little frustrating for me since I love Weavile. But I'll deal :P

 

[Redstar]

Think we'll get to evolve Lugia?

 

[Ho-oh's_Chosen]

Think we'll get to evolve Lugia?

Yeah, like that'll happen. It's a legendary pokemon, and has had the closest thing to an evolution of all the legends! (Shadow Lugia) Besides, Ho-oh's way better.

 

[Redstar]

Yeah, like that'll happen. It's a legendary pokemon, and has had the closest thing to an evolution of all the legends! (Shadow Lugia) Besides, Ho-oh's way better.

Ho-Oh isn't better, though the Legendary beasts are. Lugia's evolution really needs some face-value in this remake.

 

[LethalTexture]

I think that they will until we get the national dex, like was done in FR/LG with evolutions like Golbat -> Crobat etc.
