With the recent launch of Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver in the US (unfortunately for those in Europe and elsewhere we still have to wait) we’ve decided to celebrate by uploading all the Heart Gold/Soul Silver sprites to the forums so you can use them as avatars! Why not head over to the forums and start chatting today?

Release date announced for HG/SS in UK (and a shiny Pichu for the Americans too)
The Pikachu Colored Pichu (or Shiny Pichu to you and me) is to be handed out at Gamestop shops in the US between January 3oth and February 14th according to an article on Pokémon.com. You’ll be able to download this special Pichu to any Diamond, Pearl or Platinum cart but it doesn’t do much (except look cool) until you transfer it to Heart Gold or Soul Silver. Once there, you’ll need to take the little feller to Ilix Forrest, where out will pop a special Pichu, the Notched Eared Pichu. After a small event between the two, you’ll befriend the Notched Eared Pichu and thus be apart of your Pokémon collection forever.
In other news, Nintendo.co.uk today released a news article about the Pokéwalker. This is the First Heart Gold/Soul Silver related piece of information on any of the UK’s official sites (Pokémon or Nintendo) and not only talks about the Pokéwalker (confirming that it WILL be heading to Europe) but also lists a release date for HG/SS. March 26th is when European players can enjoy a trip back to the lands of Jhoto, less than 2 weeks after its release in America (and, for the second year in a row, a lot earlier than my initial prediction). This is good news for all the people in Europe and should hopefully mean that us people who usually import the games can wait the extra few days and pick up the game a little cheaper.
That’s all we have for the moment, we’ll bring you more when we learn it.
Minor site modifications
This is a quick update to say that I have been making a few modifications around the website. You’ll notice that you can now email articles to friends, as well as rate them.
I’ve also modified the sites look slightly, changing the font face and decreasing the menu widths to give the content block a bit more space. You might see a couple other modifications in the coming days, but no major changes.
Edit: I’ve also changed the “Pokemon HG/SS Gallery” link on the top menu to just “Galleries” as it’s now a portal to other gallery pages. I’ve added a new gallery: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Check it out!
Edit #2: I’ve also added a poll on the right hand side. Please vote in it!
