Who else is psyched about Pokémon heartgold and soul silver. I LOVE THE IDEA(except having what is possibly and most literally the gayest names ive ever heard) You can choose one Pokémon to follow you around Finally gold and silver are remade EDIT: I don't mean to insult the names, i was just saying that when I hear heartgold and soulsilver I think literal gay, and the literal meaning of gay is happy. But ill admit the very first time I heard the names I thought both thoughts. JAKE'S EDIT: I just fixed the title so, y'know, it actually had something to do with the thread xD Remember that if you're making a General Topic thread, try to make the title as clear as possible! Thanks!

I heard about that quite awhile back ago. I loved Gold and Silver, two of my most fav. Pokemon games^^ Sadly, I don't like how they designed some parts of the remakes. (I don't like the in-game Pokedex design, Cyndaquil and Totodile sprites, and a few other things)

Saying something is gay is not an insult, by the way.
But YES. Silver was my first video game ever so I'm buying this the day it comes out. Sprites are always pick-and-choose with me, but they grow on me after a while. I hated D/P/Pt sprites at first but I love their style now [aside from a few abominations, like Charizard, Lugia and Golduck among others that are especially badly made]. I love the touch-screen additions [honestly, they should've done that as soon as the DS was made a platform for a standard RPG of the Pokemon series] and most of the updates so far are looking great. [: Can't wait.

Aye, Drone is right on that.
I ADORED Silver and Gold, so I'll surely buy it when it comes out! Especially Crystal *cough* I mean come on, SUICINE!! *spasm* Only Crystal's Lugia =/ Silver's Lugia was better, kick ass moves!! Haha, oh well.. I really can't wait to see the new stuff they added. Okay, some things still could be left the same, the pokedex looked.. weird, very weird to me. Heh, I have an idea already who should follow me....... *blinks* Haven't guessed it already. ... hmpm, I am hesistating myself, either Lugia or Suicine... Hard choise, hard choise...

OMG. You have no idea how excited I am about these games. (Or perhaps you do.)
I'm definitely going to get the Silver remake, but I've yet to decide which starter to get. I'm probably going to go with Cyndaquil, but Chikorita is coming in close second. I'm most excited about the pokemon following you around -- and I read on serebii that it can be any pokemon so long as it's the first in your party.
*flail* I'm SO getting a Stantler.

Sure.
Anyways I think I'm alone when I say I'll never resort to having a Legendary follow me. Fullstop. They're so lame and yuck. Plus, y'know, it totally makes sense to have something like Groudon walking right behind you all happily through Goldrenrod City. Groudon would take one step and leave a massive dent in it, you realize? I dunno. I like the following thing, but I'm going to be very picky about who I choose follow me x3
Some other things we could talk about:
The female character from Crystal (Kris) has been replaced by a new female protagonist they're calling Soul. Why would they do that? Do you think Kris will have a role elsewhere?
Gym Leaders' teams. Will they change them up? I'm hoping that they'll properly level out the game so that the 8th Gym isn't only level 40 Dx By doing so they can make Falkner's Pokémon at least level 12 instead of a pitiful 8.
Map changes. Link here. As you can see, the area beyond Cianwood City has been extended [most presume for Post-National Dex activites, such as a Battle Frontier, Pal Park, or the PokeWalker Zones]. There is also an area to the west of the National Park, a large building west of the Goldenrod Radio Tower, and more water has been incorporated into the region's layout [notably from Blackthorn City to the south].
Pokemon Walker . Essentially you can transfer a Pokémon to the Walker and it acts as a Pedometer in your real life. Each step you take it gains some experience (not unlike the daycare center) but your Pokémon can also pick up items (not unlike Amity Square, it's presumed) and come across wild Pokémon. Details are not extensive on this, yet, though every unit of the game will include the Walker. Some images here.
Box Art. :3 Heart Gold and Soul Silver. You can apparently faintly see Groudon in the SS box art, and Kyogre in HG's. It has been confirmed that these Pokémon will appear in these games (Groudon exclusively in SS and Kyogre exclusively in HG).
Redesigns of different buildings. This image shows the new Pokémon Center and PokeMart in Cherrygrove City and the PokeMart has a big sign that spins The Ruins of Alph got a major update as shown here. Artwork of Ekruteak City"]http://i40.tinypic.com/1z1v48i.jpg]Artwork of Ekruteak City shows some changes, notably to the Gym Building and an arch over the main entrance from the South. You can also see Mahogany Town in the distance and the Sprout Tower as well.
Sprites! Starters can be seen here. Mareep can be seen here as well as the updated design of the PokeGear. Pikachu can be seen here with terrible shading and a nasty face xD PokeWalker information also available there.
Event Pokémon. Confirmed is a Pikachu Coloured Pichu and Notched-Ear Pichu Event where if you bring your PCP to the Ilex Shrine, a NEP will appear and join your team without a battle. NEP will know Pain Split, which is a new addition to Pikachu's possible move pool. Official Site info for the NEP/PCP Event. A Movie Arceus Event involving Cynthia in the Ruins of Alph in which Arceus will make an egg of either Giratina, Dialga or Palkia. An unexplained Jirachi Event is also apparently planned.
There's more but I think this will suffice for now :3

Uwaaah~! Daddy Jake has so much info about the coming games! @3@
I'm so getting them, no questions asked. I'll probably start off with Chikorita in HeartGold, and Cyndaquil in SoulSilver.
And if they make a re-make of Crystal and I get it then I'll start off with Totodile there. Just for kicks. XD

Heh, that's not even all of the information, but it's a good chunk.
Personally, I'm starting with Totodile but ditching him as soon as I can get a Poliwag. Toto is the best starter in my opinion, but I don't much like using starters really. He just wins for cuteness. When I was little I wanted a crocodile as a pet, so. x3
But there's next-to-no chance they'll remake Crystal. Third installments generally are made to just one-up the originals and often coincide with the anime moreso than the originals, and seeing as they won't have Ash + Co. go through Johto again there's hardly a chance they'll remake it. Plus they didn't remake Yellow so it's doubtful they'd remake Crystal [even though it'd be a fast money grab xD]
Personally I don't like the PokeWalker. There are different "tracks" or "fields" you can send your Pokemon to [many assume it's the areas west of Cianwood] which will have different items and wild Pokemon, but really, it's kinda gimmicky if you ask me. Besides, pedometers are easy to cheat with. *Shake shake shake* Then again, it'd be a good way to level up your team rather than abusing the Exp. Share. x33

[/blockquote][/quote] jake, you became like 10 times cooler (legends suck ^^) anyway, i'll probably start with Cynaquil or Chikorita (or however they're spelled), but i'm going to ditch them (not a fan of any of the Jhoto starters) as for a following mon, i'll have swampert, gallade, or rhyperior follow me everywhere i can't wait until the games come out in japan, so i can pick which version i'm getting (version exclusives) and so i can start to plan my team

Careful Spidey, my ego might inflate x3 But yeah, Legendaries and Starters are lame for the most part. It's funny, in the first generation I like the second stage of the starters the best, in the third generation I like the third stage, in the fourth gen I like the first stage xD Johto is the only one where I don't follow a pattern like that. Feraligatr, Cyndaquil, Bayleef. xD
Anyway it's easy to assume version exclusives will be the same as the original G/S [though 3rd and 4th Gen Pokemon are yet to be announced obviously]. That means:
Gold will not have Ekans, Vulpix, Meowth, Ledyba, Delibird, Skarmory or Phanpy (plus their evolutions). Silver will not have Sandshrew, Growlithe, Mankey, Spinarak, Gligar, Teddiursa or Mantine (plus applicable evolutions). These are not confirmed to be true, but it is my reasonable guess so don't bite me if I'm wrong [that goes twice for you, Zombie! D:< No biting the drone!].

it would be epic if you could get an egg to follow you

That would be kinda weird. Zuk turns his head behind him to find an egg. As he is walking forward slowly, he keeps his eyes on the egg. The egg follows. "OMG, it followed me !"I think I'm going to have a Zangoose follow me, he's my favorite pokemon^^

I am so excited for these games. So very excited. My Gold version was pretty much my favorite thing ever for years when I was a kid, and when I tried to go back and replay it about a year ago and discovered that it wouldn't save, I was so bummed. This is just like... ahfjdkshfkjds.
Some of the stuff you posted I hadn't seen yet, so thank you, Jake. :0 And yeah, I'm assuming you're probably right about a good chunk of the "not gonna be included in each version" Pokemon, though now that we've got two more generations of Pokémon to mix in at least partially (though probably not much), there might be a few to add to that list. ... Wait wait, no biting? D: Awwww. You know I like biting. :C
... Teehee.
For the record, I want a Wailord to follow me. Epic. Absolutely epic. Even shrunk down, there's no way that a big fat whale bouncing around after my trainer couldn't be freaking awesome.
Really, I was just disappointed (though not surprised, lul) that they shrunk down everything. I totally would've had Pokemon like Steelix and Wailord and Groudon and all of them just because they would be capable of crushing buildings. :C

if they are lazy and use Pokémon from the mystery dungeons(which most likely they WILL do) then all the REALLY big Pokémon will be take up nine spots instead of the regular one like... < Pickachu < groudon thats about as good as they can do
