Could be something lame where the starter follows you only till Silver breaks into the lab.

Rpgmonkey · May 10, 2009

Looks like the lab got a second floor.

Zilch · May 10, 2009

Both those buildings have mailboxes. Insignificant detail or not?

edit: is it just me or do some of those shadows look like they could be dynamic?

Haven't tried it yet in Platinum, but can't you get Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon to follow you around in the Acuty Square or whatever?

Yes you can

AWESOME!!! I <3 Pokémon, totally importing SoulSilver =D

Seems like they didn't update the 3D engine at all.

Does this surprise you? The game looked virtually the same for like 7 years, before the DS finally crafted a new graphical style, and even in 3D it's pretty much identical to the original spirit. Won't be seeing any new game engines until the next sequel comes out, I'd think.

Are those the Underground air vents?

Indeed. I actually prefer the look of the GBC games.

Still excited about this, though!

rainer516 · May 10, 2009

Why is there an aversion to the traditional Pokemon style? If it's isometric 8 direction movement you want, go play Megaman Starforce or something, it's closer to what you are looking for rather than asking for an established franchise with a fan-base to give up something they distinctly appreciate with their wallets.

Somnid · May 10, 2009

I'm glad that they didn't go ugly 3D. There's a certain charm about 2D RPGs.

Probably, we might get Underground Wifi this time
At least I hope we do

You're saying people play Pokemon for the 4-direction, tile-based control scheme?

I guess we'll be spelunkering underground in Johto too

If anyone thought they wouldn't use an improved Platinum engine for this...

Golden Darkness · May 10, 2009

Pokebeach has shots of the new art for the three starters: http://pokebeach.com/2009/05/live-pokemon-sunday-coverage

I prefer how the ground look in the original.

No I thought they would use that engine, I just thought they would build more on it.

Agreed. Johto should not look the same as Sinnoh, but they do from the screens

As long as they smooth out the frame rate, I'll be happy.

Agreed. The screen should not stutter with every step like it does in DPPt

Defuser · May 10, 2009

Is it only chikorita following around? I want cyndaquil to follow.

Sorry, it's only Chikorita. Due to the economy, they had to reduce the starters to just one and Chikorita's who they went with.

OMFG THIS. Please get it to run smoothly GF.

:lol
Now why would they make it so only Chikorita follows?

MGrant · May 10, 2009

I was kinda hoping that the more shady feel of Johto would be translated better. Then again, maybe I just think of it that way because I always played it at night.

Cyndaquil is teh suxxorz.

BishopLamont · May 10, 2009

I can't believe something like a Pokemon following you on-screen can get me so hyped for a game. So embarassing.

WHAT! The trees where so important to the storyline OMG!!!!.

Teknoman · May 10, 2009

Im sure there will be lots of different animations, scene environment effects, and more. Besides, its just the first town...and well...first towns in Pokemon dont really have that many differing features.

In this video you see the wind blowing so i think that will play a role.

Neo Child · May 10, 2009

Yay sweet video, if anyone noticed the walking speed is a bit quicker too compared to D/P/Pt. Obviousely running shoes will be implemented, but this is a step in the right direction - never liked the brightness of the grass in the DPPt engine though.

It does seem smoother, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part. Hopefully it really is.

As long as the entire fucking screen doesn't seems like its wriggling around while I move, I'm cool.

That and running/riding on the bike shouldn't give me a headache. >:\

OutLawSuit · May 10, 2009

Hope the starters get updated move pools since they pail in comparison to other starters like Infernape, Empoleon, and Swampert. Heck, Gyarados is superior to Feraligatr in nearly every way except not having Swords Dance.
