4th Gen HeartGold/SoulSilver Speculation

naw. i think it will stay the same.
and yes, we are all very excited. Red is the final challenge, the hardest battle in all Pokemon games to some.
and also, Ash and Red are not the same ppl. Ash is based of Red. Red is not in the anime.

That is the 2nd hardest battle overall, not just to some. The strongest is Barry in Pt after like 20 times in the league...

And yeah, though many people confuse cause they look so similar, Ash was mistaken to be the main char in RGB, and they're both the main chars (as far as I know) in their story...I personally could careless o:
 
I can't wait to battle him again. I really want to see his sprite, and I hope it's animated and has the "Vs." intro (like Gym Leaders).

I don't want his Pokemon to change, but I want his levels raised to 95 max and 85 minimum. I want a challenge this time.
 
Something with the PEGI rules about gambling...

Oh come on,
that just ridiculous.

Atleast, it shows you the reprocussions of gambling how you lose all your money.
>.<"

In not that anyone is going to become addicted to crack and gamble his/her life away because he played pokemon.

What exactly is in it's place? Nothing?
a different building?
 
I was quite sad that Red's Pikachu wasnt alot stronger when I battled it in Gold.
It should be very very tough

ya, but Barry doesnt deserve the title, and it doesnt matter about levels. Red just PWNed...hard.

It was confirmed a few months ago that because of new European law, that anything gambling related wouldn't be allowed. It so happened that the Game Corner fell into that category and had to be discontinued throughout Platinum and now the upcoming HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Nothing will seem to replace it, but instead it would be of no value to the players. Such as in the UK version of Platinum, it was still there, but it wasn't accessible for the players to take part in the slots. At first I thought it unfair, but when it comes to the law, it's the law. So, I wouldn't blame Nintendo or GameFreak for in a way closing that part of the game off as they are simply following the law themselves.
 
I think the moves for the Pokemon will change (well obviiously lol). I wish his Pokemon are fully EV'ed raised as well

So its like the "church" in hearthome city in D/P/Pt basically?

Yes, you can relate the European Game Corners to the Hearthome "Church"-like building. It wouldn't serve an importance to the game. However, the Game Corner did offer prizes, and I've never played the UK version of Platinum, so I wouldn't know exactly how the prizes would be distributed to the player if earned. Though, like I said before the European version will not include playable slots because of the new laws passed in Europe not allowing Gambling nor the influence of gambling.
 
Well, while stupid, I can entirely understand the worry :S
/me does his waiting dance
 
...and I would her to actual be give.

Uhm, huh?

I'd like to see Mom as more than an ATM, but I don't know if they have contests here or not... For that matter, has anyone seen a normal Berry around here?

I agree with you and I notice that in the future generation a parent of the playeable character was active for example in third generation games the player's dad was a gym leader and in the fourth generation games the player's mom was a Pokemon Coordinator, but if the player's mom were to be a coordinator then that would be a consecutive pattern though the Pokemon games are know for repetition. I can picture that the player could be unaware about his/her's mom occupation and they will find out later on and battle or compet against their mother whether it be in as a Frontier Brains Battle, Pokethlon Constant, a Pokemon Coordinator (if their are Pokemon Constest in HGSS), or something that we have not thought of.

By the way I cannot understand your first sentence to well. Were you asking about the player's mom names. I was just wonder if the game developers will give the player's mom name.

I hope they don't Keep it a mystery, like it was back in the day!
 
Since it has been speculated here before... someone on sppf has said that a new commerical has aired in Japan, showing that Headbutting trees has returned. (No link to this commerical yet, mind).

Said user (slowkingsley) has previous supplied coro coro scans regularly and all - so assume this to be true.
EDIT: Video link found, so yes, confirmed, that. (See new thread on commerical).

The way the Game Corner worked in Euro Platinum is that each day, every slot machine would have a chance of randomly giving you between 5-20 coins (or nothing) the first time you interacted with it that day. Any other interactions would result in "It's a Game Machine!" So there is no slots, just a random chance of coins. You can still get prizes and buy coins, it just takes ages to earn them. Also, Explosion was given out by someone in the Game Corner I think. In Platinum I was annoyed because the slots were really easy in D/P, but I won't mind so much in this game cause the slots are harder.
However, with a longer time till European release, they may come up with a better solution.
 
It's awesome how much I learn about European politics from this site :D.

On topic, I wonder if Lugia and Ho-oh will learn their signature moves earlier? They knew them right off the bat in the originals.
