This could be a similar issue to FrLg. Espeon and Umbreon weren't obtainable in FrLg. You had to trade them to either Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald, evolve it either during the day or at night, and then trade back, because there wasn't day or night in FrLg which is required to evolve these two pokemon. So, the Leafeon/Glaceon issue might be similar. You might have to trade to DPPt, evolve it there, and then trade back.
Perhaps instead of moving the rocks to Johto they'll put them in Kanto so you won't be able to obtain them until after the national dex while still making it possible to get them in the same game.
The icy rock will most-likely be in the Sea Foam Islands, while the mossy rock will be in Viridian Forrest.
Having them before the E4 wouldn't make sense, as Leafeon and Glacion were not in the Johto Dex.
Isn't there a thread about this already?
The corprate masterminds.ohh a pikaplushie!Mine!........(Drat they got me)I was thinking along the exact same lines as you, Lily. Although the issue with Espeon and Umbreon was a tad more complex (adding in a couple of rocks is a lot easier than overhauling the game completely with a day/night system), it seems likely that they'll take this route. Nintendo/GF likes to keep some Pokemon unattainable in certain versions -- they always have, and they always will. Glaceon/Leafeon seem like a perfect way to encourage HGSS owners to find a friend with DPPt or buy a copy themselves.
It probably won't be in, you will have to trade from D/P/P. They make more money that way.
this makes sense
but then in DP the rocks were there even though Eevee wasn't in the pokedex
so I personally see them being in Icy path/Ice path/Cave whatever
and Ilex forest
The problem with having it in Ilex/Ice Path is that Eevee is in the Johto 'Dex and is obtained pretty early on. Glaceon/Leafeon are not in the Johto 'Dex and so would not be able to be evolved in to despite being able to get to the rocks.
Unless these rocks were in 'secret' locations, but that would normally be controlled by HM's or such which you would probably have before the national dex.
So, I'm up for Seafoam islands/Viridian Forest for the Eevees.
P.S 'Gotta Catch 'em all' pretty much sums up Pokémon, between HG and SS most, if not all, of the total Pokes should be catchable.
