I always thought Ho-Oh was the much cooler looking Pokemon. And of course, Sacred Fire is a billion times better than Aero Blast. A shame it hits basically nothing aside from OUs in Uber (and Shaymin!) for Super Effective damage. Under the sun though, Ho-Oh is pretty nasty. Lugia has a much more defined spot in the metagame though.
Maybe if they just give Ho-Oh Sword Dance, and Lugia Nasty Plot now...

I like Lugia mostly because he/she looks more streamlined than Ho-Oh, but that doesn't mean Ho-Oh doesn't look cool.
Though, I have always had blue as my favorite color, so that might be a bit of a bias. :lol
Why would you do that?

I don't really care for Lugia or Ho-oh as Pokemon (when I first played Pokemon, I used my Master Ball on a Seaking, and had no concept of legendaries) but I think the intro for Soul Silver looks better.
However, I'll probably get Heart Gold because I had Gold on the GBC.

Yeah, Rayquaza was pretty cool, though I did like the way all of the Generation III legendaries had those runes on them. I miss Gen III, though.

I think Gen II remains pretty fresh in my mind(and one of my favorites, but I like them all), simply due to guessing what would be in it. :lol

If they were going to do it, they'd have shown up in the ripped data from DPPt but been non-obtainable ingame. Sure, they could update DPPt cards the first time they connect to WiFi (or a copy of HGSS or updated DPPt) after release, but the risk of something going wrong is quite high.Sonos said:

He is technically in Ruby/Sapphire, but is not accessible through regular means. He was in no way a "new" Pokemon in FireRed/LeafGreen.DR2K said:

I'm more concerned whether or not the elite four/gyms would have a rematch/improved difficulty for this game. One of the weaknesses in GSC was difficulty, after all.

What about the egg Arceus makes with those Unknown in one of the trailers(still cant get over the fact that it was basically a magical orgy:lol )?
Well, you just proved yourself wrong right here.Sonos said:
You stated just now that regardless of whether new Pokemon will be in it or not, you will buy the game, as will I, and 20 million other people.
There doesn't exist any force of reason to say GameFreak will add any new Pokemon. If there's anything that they're doing right, it's the Pokemon design (not by my personal tastes, rather overall popularity), and they said they spend maybe a year to make one Pokemon.
I don't wanna be a pooper or anything, but it's better you don't get any hopes up.
Animal Crossing and Pokemon can go really well together in my opinion. Hell, Animal Crossing can go well with everything.Why would you do that? said:
Pokemon especially because they're both built about coming back every day (if we exclude 3rd gen, and we should, regardless of context). What's better than planting some berry trees in an area, then coming in a week later to see a bunch of Pokemon gathering around? What about traveling around town and noticing a random kid who just got a Pokemon and wants to trade it? Different seasons can have plenty of things to influence. With the radio, you can listen to a different song every day and change things like catch rate (like in the original GSC), and in addition things like the level of Pokemon in the wild or the growth rate of trees.
The items and accessories are too obvious, as well. Different clothing for you or your Pokemon (along with customizable trainers), different items for your base/room (which should be mixed together next time, honestly), all depending on the factors I said above like time of year and so on.
And this isn't really in Animal Crossing, but it would fit with the theme too: Pokemon Snap, freeroaming, and it's about hiding and luring in wild Pokemon to take pictures of them. If Contests are viable, I don't see why this isn't.
I could really go forever. And it's not just Animal Crossing. There's also Zelda.
I used to think that it wasn't worth it because naturally I already have Animal Crossing and Zelda, but the more I think about it, the more obvious it is that Pokemon can take from them and still be really really unique when it focuses on what made it big in the first place.
Money or ability is never an issue, either. They already have all of the framework they need to just focus on expanding the games with completely different things. No need for new Pokemon and no need for badges or epic stories and events.
Huge rant, but it should hold me off for another year or so.

proved myself wrong? what are you doing trying to catch me in an internet gaffe? i said i hope they add new pokes. i said i'm getting it anyway. thats it.
a year to make 1 pokemon. el fucking oh el. maybe a year to make all the pokemons for any new game they make.
There isn't any difference between the versions now that online trading exists. People just like to say the version they have is best.Sonos said:
Kind of like console fanboys.
They can't update DS games like that otherwise the new forms introduced in Platinum woul be compatible with Diamond and Pearl.viciouskillersquirrel said:
And if they were going to add new Pokemon, there would be a new scan about it by now, even if just had silhouettes on it.
They didn't remake Yellow for Firered and Leafgreen, but knowing how much money it would make them I couldn't say for sure that there will never be a Crystal remake.Sonos said:
Although it is highly likely that there won't be a Crystal remake since Eusine (Who was a character only in Crystal) is in HG and SS.
OMG Aero said:
The reason I ask is because after buying both Pearl and Platinum I'll wait on the next series of games for the "improved" versions. If I need a fix its just as easy to play around with what I have, wait the year or two for the mashup and then start playing fresh.
anyway, cheers for the info I never played the originals. I started with Pearl, then went and got FireRed (my least liked of what I've played), Emerald and then Platinum.

Not to be a smartass but don't you mean Blue?
In Japan Red and Green came out together and Blue came out later as a 'special' updated edition.
Sorry, I just have a horrible grudge against Yellow. The anime did wonders for the franchises popularity but really does nothing but damage to the canon games. I mean Pokemon saying their own names? Fucking stupidest shit ever. The animal cries from Stadium should have remained their canon cries as intended. Okay.. I'm done ranting...

Must be for Nostalgia then. If you like current pokemon you would have bought the DS for D/P/P. But I can understand why this would be a system seller for lovers of the original 200 something pokemon. I had lots of good memories with gold/silver on GBC. The morning/day/night feature had me waking up early to catch the morning pokemon and staying up late for the night pokemon. such a good time with friends.

Has it been confirmed that the US release will also have the Walkers?

I think there should be an official HGSS thread
