    Hmmm, thats interesting. Maybe the Event is just based on the Johto part and thats the location the Movie/Event Celebi will have?

    It wouldn't be based on the Johto part. For whatever reason, Pokemon traded from HgSs appear as from a "Faraway Place" rather than from "Johto." Serebii already tested this right when the game came out. It would have to be based on the fact that you had a Celebi, any Celebi.

    OMG IT CAME.

    Both games are sitting right next to me as I type this. I am so impressed. The boxart is lovely for both of the games, it's really impressive. And the Pokewalker is tinnnnyyy~

    Amazing amazing amazing amazing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm probably going to become a hermit for the next few days while I play my games. Hehehe...

    Yeah, but what I was referring to was the Home Town ID. Basically, there's the place that it was caught, but then the game adds a signature as to which game it was caught in. So, technically, you could do it with any Celebi from any location as long as the game signature for it was from HG/SS.

    This could be based on the fact that it's a Japanese version of the game.
    How do we not know that the english version won't say Johto?

    Because unless they change it for this game only, it will be the same for the English release. If you transfer a Japanese Pokemon to an English game, it still has the correct localization, and when Platinum came out in Japan, Japanese Plat Pokemon transferred to English DP also had the correct location. It would be possible for them to change it, but I doubt they will, and it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's a Japanese game, it's just the way it's coded.

    Anyways for the hometown thing, I haven't heard any information about if that's what was predicted or not. The people who told me it was from a Faraway Place never put it into Pokesav to check the Hometown, so I'm unsure. Someone should try to transfer a Celebi from a different Hometown to see if that works for the event.

    In other news, a new in-game trade was discovered by Serebii lately within HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is a bit different from others within this game and those before it. At some point after defeating Jasmine, she will call you up on the PokéGear requesting a trade. Her trade to you will be a Steelix holding a Soothe Bell. However, the difference here is that you can trade her any Pokémon of your choice. So basically, this comes as a free trade depending on what you choose to give her in exchange for the Steelix.

    Lucky. I'm still playing Platinum.

    I refuse to import or download the ROM.

    That's a really great addon to the game because the Steelix can prove to be quite useful, especially as it isn't (I dont think) available in the wild. Does it come with any egg moves or special items?

    If only I wasn't impatient and looked for scanlated versions of HG/SS before the Japanese versions... ;D; She's still in the gym after you beat her, right? Wow, I'm so fail... I just finished beating TR at Goldenrod and now I have to go through the Ice Path. Great, I hate puzzles. >:0

    Oh yeah, the PokeWalker...

    Reminds me of the Pocket Pikachu, sorta. At one point in my life I was crazy over Tamagotchis and stuff like this, and now I wish I got a legit version of HG or SS. @.@ The English release will include the PokeWalker, yes?

    When will Nintendo/WiiWare release the HG/SS update for Pokemon Ranch, or will they even?

    It is unknown if it comes with any special egg moves, however like I mentioned when you do trade for Steelix, it will be found holding the Soothe Bell.

    She is still in the Gym after beating her yes, though it is known that she will be found missing elsewhere when getting ready for the rematch. As for where she will be located when time for the trade, I assume it will be in her gym, we'll see.

    Nothing has been mentioned on whether or not the PokéWalker will be included with the US version of HeartGold and SoulSilver. However, with everything mentioned about it and to promote physical exercise there is a very high possibility that it shall be brought in with the game outside of Japan.

    As for a new release of Pokémon Ranch solely for HGSS, I cannot answer that as I have not looked into it.

    Just a little cool fact, in respective games, the HM screens match the mascot color of the games.

    HG-Gold
    SS-Silver
