4th Gen HeartGold SoulSilver Commercial [updated]

again all shots in the commercial were taken from a DSi screen, why? are some features in these games DSi exclusive , and if not then the dsi with just be put on hold and there will be no reason to buy it, i really hope there are no DSi exclusive features, and yes the gyms are looking sweet, as well as the cities, Ecruteak looks awsome!

Uh huh I don't need to answer.
I quite liked the trailer - a lot of nice stuff there. Let's see...hmm, feel going going through it part by part. New Bark town from a higher angle and all, followed by Goldenrod! Yay. Compared to GSC... well, by the sign above the Pokemon Centre, Game Corner is back in the same spot by random guessing... same for the Dept. Store. The buildings below... looks like some are unable to be accessed... but seem bigger and all as well. Plus there's at least a new NPC there. Hmm... idk, but *maybe* goldenrod is at least a little bit bigger?

Goldenrod is a bit bigger as you can tell. I wonder by how much though...
Ecruteak Tin Tower Gate shown again, and then the Ho-oh and Lugia scenes which look really nice. (Hurrah for the English 'Touch to Start!' pics as well XD). I prefer Lugia's personally, but both are good. Then there's starter choosing, and Tin Tower, I assume. Man, those tress and scenery look *fantastic*, IMO. Then it's the girl protagonist walking with Chikorita (Dance Theatre!), Slowpoke Well again (it is slight bigger in that part!... obviously).

The lugia and ho-oh scenes were the best. Also those are the best title screens ever in a video game I think. Yeah slowpoke well got some size and lol dance theatre is the best.
Pokemon starters like to dance, it seems, and Chikorita uses Cut on a tree - neat. BUT - note that when Chikorita does that (0:31 - 0:34) - there's a tree there standing in the clearing. Looking unlike any other Berry tree, without any soil there... and it's not a Sudowoodo either. Could this be an Apricorn tree?
Click to expand...
I say its apricorn as well judging by the white ball on it.
Then Pokedex stuff - seen that before - Ho-oh again, and... Clair's gym looks considerably more awesome (looks like her gym, leastways), with the lava and new/somewhat changed gym puzzle! And Pokemon don't always necessarily follow you, it seems... good for those who hate the idea, I suppose? Chikorita attacks a Mareep, Monty's Gym puzzle is at least the same idea, and looks considerably more awesome now...yadda yadda yadda.

I think its a whole new gym layout and all. And morty's gym will always be that spooky pathway.
And the other thing of note is that Cianwood again has the house north of it - the one in Crystal! And there's a path further north... seems to me at least another hint of Eusine and the Suicune subplot returning to HG/SS - after all, there is the same area there, after all. Far from confirmed though, mind.

The ledge is there, the ruins have second exits leading to smaller ruins which I believe to be the crystal text rooms so yeah I think its more then likely that the Suicune quest will be there.
 
That finally proves what we all guessed anyways, that the Gyms will be redone :D
Those screenshots look very amazing and I loove GameFreak for using more different Tilesets than ever. I really hate to live in EU and to speak no single word Japanese because I will have to wait until March next year I guess or even longer -.-'

But yeah thumbs up ;D (b'')b
 
This thing shows whole Johto, so they are going to put videos from Kanto soon, I think they have began making more Kanto now. Apricon tree is from Route 30, you can see piece of Mr. Pokémon's house. This really look like Gold/Silver but graphics has changed, you can recognize every place in this video! This is first video where I can see Typhlosion in HeartGold/SoulSilver! Yay!

Naysayers may point out thouse that the berry by there is a... PSNCUREBERRY. But tbh, I really don't see the old berries coming back ever - Apricorn is by far the morst likely outcome there, IMO.
 
A small note but we should be getting a new one in a couple of weeks. It was shown at the special viewing of movie 12:

Before the movie started a new HeartGold and SoulSilver commercial played, which I imagine will not air for another few weeks. A 3D Entei appears, followed by Raikou, and then Suicune. We see Ho-Oh and Lugia posing, and then some game footage. Most of it has already been seen, but there is some sort of footage involving a race with laps being counted. I have no idea what it was, so it's probably something completely new in the games. The male character is also shown riding a Pokemon in the Lake of Rage. He encounters the red Gyarados while doing so.


And I was right about racing. Most likely place is where I guessed in the oval area near the national park.

If Kanto wasn't involved this would be the biggest let down since... Ash lost his signature cap. :P Hehehe

Hope so. Goldenrod is the biggest city in PokeHistory for a reason!! Seems to have lost it's Golden tinge to it though; guess they didn't want it to look too much like Ecruteak City. :P

Always good to keep key locations! Hopefully the man with the surfing/dancing Rhydon is still there!! :D

Hell yeah, and I thought that in R/S/E just showing the Pokemon who uses the HM in a quick flash was cool. Better hope the Apricorns are back, along with Berries no doubt. What else is Kurt good for? Breaking his back.... :P :D

Heck yeah! I mentioned this before, Claire's gym looks revamped to the extreme! Let's hope the Dragon Den is more of a challenge this time. Morty's gym looks super awesome, epic at best. And the overview of Johto showed a large Park area west of Cianwood so lets hope you're right!!

Looks like that person ate the PokeWalker, and trading a Chikorita for Arceus is a GREAT TRADE!

.....I personally prefer Chikorita but..... you are right. :P :D
 
I just saw some screenies, they we're very beautiful and i hope that it's not DSi only. :(

It won't be do not fret. So yeah I really wanna see that new one...
 
the game isnt gonna be NDSi only, there aren't NDSi only games...
the "touch to start" screens like incredible, im so impressed.
i am slightly confused though.
it showed ecruteak city with the lake bit in the top, and the kimono girl house below, but the city looked kinda gray/blue-ish
but then other screens, what i'm presuming to be, of ecruteak city, show it with red & goldy trees? i'm so confused :| are they just showing different areas of the city? cos i'm unsure if its different places or not
sorry if you don't actually understand what i'm going on about. its hard to explain D:

The title screen is in English "Touch to start". Is it suposed to be like that?
Click to expand...

It's always in English on the Japanese versions, but that's still different from usual. In my Platinum and Diamond it says this on the top screen:
PUSH START BUTTON

and now we have on the touch screen:

TOUCH TO START

Interesting change :P lol
 
wow, they can fit all this amazingness into that small cartridge? AND include the Kanto region ontop of that!
i hope they include kanto otherwise it's not G/S, but from what i've seen it's being hinted at.

I heard it almost definitely will!

I love how they are using the full 3D capabilities of the DS!
 
Okeeee here we go. Everything everyone has said I pretty much agree with, so I won't take up space with repetitive nonsense. I'll talk about the crappy aspects.

- Lugia's title screen is looking downright awesome while Ho-Oh's is plain and boring. Couldn't they at least add a rainbow to Ho-Oh's, since he's a rainbow legendary?
- Goldenrod City should retain that colour scheme in the originals, the pink brick and golden tinge. They should swap the black roads with pink pavement.
 
I am loving the fact that our Pokemon will actually pop out and perform the HM moves ^^
I wonder what happens when surfing? *prays for Pokemon riding*[nonWAILMER]
