    hmm... the lock capsule looks like something that silph. co would make, which means it probably has a useful or needed purpose, like the silph scope. in the last three years surely they must have invented something new?

    Well, whatever it is, it will probably revealed next summer in the movie. Or maybe they'll reveal something else.

    Why are people even bothering to suggest that they unlock new Pokemon, this is a remake and work on Gen. 5 hasn't openly begun yet; there are no new Pokemon to be had!

    Oh btw, I haven't seen Rock Capsule's in-game description on this thread. It's supposed to be this: "A tough capsule that must be opened with a special key." From Serebii's HG&SS Discovery thread. Coronis took that from the game's script.

    Hmm, that leads me to believe that the correct term for the item is "Lock Capsule" and not "Rock Capsule". Sadly, that only leaves us with the term Capsule to think of theories for. However, it says it must be opened with a "special key"..is there a Key-like item in the game's code to resonate with this? Based on its look, it probably has something to do with Silph Co. or some advanced (Alien) society.

    This is all starting to get a bit deep if you ask me. :3
    I just wish we had some way of testing all of these theories... :(

    On the "Special Key" bit though, if it really does require a key like that, similar to Rotom's forme change room unlockage in Platinum no doubt, then wouldn't they have to have 2 events? That would make it silly, so, maybe you get the key ingame from Silph Co. once they see that you have the Lock Capsule?

    ^ No, there's no key-like key items (lol) in the game, excluding the Underground Key of course. Which leads me to believe that a NPC opens the Capsule for you.

    Rock capsule might be a key item to evolve Pokemons you could once only evolve in locations in Sinnoh. Aka Mt. Coronet, Moss rock, etc.

    The Rock Capsule is what intrigues me the most in all of this. I mean it could possibly be for a future event to be held unlocking something within the game. Except the question that receeds is, what? Other than this, I would go with the evolutionary theory. Currently it is unknown on where one can evolve their Pokémon such as Nosepass with trading back to DPPt and the Rock Capsule sounds as though it can fulfill that exact purpose.

    Again, it is left a mystery until farther looked into. Though, it can very well be an unincluded item within the game like what has before done before in previous games. This possibility hasn't left my thoughts as yet either.

    I can agree on you that a fifth generation Pokémon making an appearance because of these items is highly unlikely. The games are more of a remake rather than a new generation on the whole. However, this wouldn't rule out the thought of a new forme for a certain Pokémon having a close relation to the Rock Capsule. Like the Gracidea Flower for Shaymin, this can easily lead to a new forme for another Pokémon. Which Pokémon it may be? I don't know, I'm just basing it all through theories.

    A new forme also sounds like a good theory. But for what pokemon? There aren't many options imo.

    You know what i think? Its just an item that will never be used and is not supposed to be in the game! Take r/s/e they had that unused legendery dog remix music? Maybe they put it in the game but decided not to and forgot to remove it compleatley? Also, serebii says its rock capsule, but im not going to put too much trust in a fan site... no matter how good it is!

    It should have a purpose. Its not like its gotten in game from anyone. Its from a WiFi event. Its not possible they would program a WiFi event not to use it. The game has only what, 5 Pokewalker courses and that's it.

    A thought just hit me, and it may sound off, but it is just something I added up while reading through the past few pages. Seeing as this item may not be found within in-game play, but more so Wi-Fi handed event, then what if it had possible connections with Celebi and the later story of Giovanni. It is a Rock Capsule, kind of similar in a way to a Time Capsule which Celebi controls [time]. So, if this item was given out as a Wi-Fi event to unlock Celebi for capture and later add in depth to Giovanni's return, then I think it could possibly work out well. Again, this is simply an idea that came to mind and is highly unlikely [but we'll see].[/time]

Like, it being a 'lock' capsule it might contain something that awakens celebi that you must put into the shrine or something?[/time]
