Ah, I see your point now. You're trying to prove that it's Kurt's House
and not the burned tower. I thought it was just a random picture meant for
nostalgia and to notify everyone of the changes.
ANYWAY, since this is my first post here, lemme catch up:
The girl is really ugly. I understand Crystal was for Pkmn Crystal,
but still.. It would be so confusing to incorporate her into
the manga and anime. She'd be so random. Also, she reminds
me TOO MUCH of the unused Leaf Green girl. I have a feeling
the Leaf Green girl and Heart Gold girl (assuming she's from
Heart Gold) will be unused in the anime.. Sigh. I hate bland
substitutes. She's wearing over-alls for Christ's sake! Someone
smack her with a fashion magazine! Also, I don't really like the
new Slowpoke Well. I like the fact that it's an actual well, but
I feel already too much has changed. The only thing that will
keep it's nostalgia is Johto itself. The music, characters,
pokemon, and maps have already been shot down by previous
leaks.. I'm afraid this Remake is turning into... Gen4.5 T_T'
Also, that weird red-roofed house is, well.. a house. A pokemon centre
keeps it's trade mark look of a plain roof. It won't add funky designs
(unless they're actually changing the roof for each city to match the
theme, since Ecruteak is kind of rustic and Japanese-themed, but
I SERIOUSLY doubt it..) to the pokecentre roof for no reason.
P.S: Totodile and Chikorita look disgusting. Cyndaquil is seriously the
best OW. And for the Pichu screenshot, it revealed a lot of stuff
including the fact that the event takes place in Ilex Forest, my
assumption of the Cloud-effect in Ilex Forest was correct (the one
from Platinum in Eterna Forest and New Moon Island), and your
Pokemon won't follow you ALL the time. Since it showed in Ecruteak,
I guess it isn't a New Bark Town-only thing, but seeing the Pichu thing,
I guess once you go to an event, Pichu takes the place of your Starter
(or if any other person/pokemon follows you as part of an in-game
or normal event). Either that or you can: a) return the pokemon into
the pokeball any time you want or b) you get to choose what pokemon
you want following you..
*P.S: Some theorys of discrediting the "Any pokemon can follow you" crap.
I think only CERTAIN pokemon can follow you, or the first-stage.
Look at the facts: Wouldn't it be odd if something like an Octillery
or Relicanth was following you? Or what about a Dialga or Palkia?
Also, in Ecruteak city, call me crazy, but I usually had a
Croconaw/Bayleef/Quilava by the time I was at Morty, and not
the first stage. That leads me to the fact that I think the trainer
chose not to evolve the pokemon so it could remain to follow
the trainer around... Just some theorys.
