Coro Coro Heart Gold and Soul Silver Info

So the new issue of CoroCoro Magazine has revealed more details on Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and there’s three main things we know. 1, in all the main screen shots the starter is definatly following the player around. This seems to confirm that it will follow you around. How this will completly work, we don’t know. In Pokemon Yellow, Pikachu would follow you around until you put him in a box, traded him over to another game or evolved him, the latter two options ment that you could never get Pikachu to follow you again.

2, We know that instead of reserecting Kris, the very first female trainer from Pokemon Crystal (and a personal favorite of mine), she will be replaced by a new female trainer.

3, Coming back from Leaf Green and Fire Red, those cool little scene pictures that apear when you enter caves or forests are back. On the scans we can see a shot for the Sprout Tower as you enter it.

So other than some updated artwork for all the Pokemon, there’s not a lot more revealed. Well apart from a Pikachu colored Pichu in Ilex Forest… is this the same one that’s available for Download in Japan for the 12th movie, and what’s it doing by Celebi’s shrine anyway? Well aint that typical, doesnt answer many questions, but asks a few more.

Hit the more link for the scans themselves, we’ll bring you more when its known…

Pokemon Sunday Info

So Pokemon Sunday made thier big announcment this week, the one that everyone knew before it was officially confirmed… Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver will be in Japanese stores by the end of the year. And that’s about all they said. They didn’t really reveal anything else, so we all hope that CoroCoro Magazine will do that later this week.

What Pokemon Sunday did show was a brief clip of the new game, so we can see just what the new game will look like. for a comparison, i’ve gotten a shot of how the original game looked when you played it on a Game Boy Colour on the left, while the right picture shows you how the new game will look on your DS… and it looks GOOD

How it use to look, and how it does now

How it use to look, and how it does now

You’ll notice that there’s a little green blob following our main hero. That’s a Chikorita and in the clip, this little green starter followed the main character around town. Is this just a temporary thing in the game, or will this work like it used to with Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow? Only time and additional info will answer that. More pictures follow the link, including some new art of the 3 starters… we’ll bring you more info on the games when we learn it.

Gold and Silver Remakes Announced Early

It happens every time, you tell everybody that you’ll make an important announcement soon and just before you do someone goes and announces it for you.

It happened to Pokemon this week, as their planned announcement on Sunday of new DS games has already been leaked on the web. Japanese Yahoo made an article stating the new games to be made, and Pokemon Official Japanese website has confirmed it.

Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver will be released in Japan later this year, and that’s all we really know at this point (although check out the cool logo’s above for the games). Hopefully Pokemon Sunday will expand on what the games will be (other than a remake of Gold and Silver using Diamond/Pearl’s graphics and the implemented features introduced after those games.) If Pokemon Sunday doesn’t mention much more, next week sees a new issue of Coro Coro Magazine, so that should give us more info.

I’ll update with more when I learn it
