Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver (It's here :3!!!!)

[urdailywater]

I was right! ...according to http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Giovanni, that IS Giovanni.

I wonder what role he plays in the game.

Probably to tell Team Rocket to gtfo at the end.


Really I would like to see something from the manga be implemented in. Maybe he'll reveal Silver is his son or something? I dunno. Whatever it is it has me pumped.

aw no weavile, rhyperior, magmortar, honchkrow, or electivire in the johtodex

You have to get the national dex before 4th gens start showing up...

 

[D13]

Blaine's new sprite is pretty sweet.

He meant within the Jhoto Dex.

 

[Mewter]

The Pokemon Center looks rather nice.
I can't wait until this is released in English.
Now, as for Mewtwo's sprite...

 

[Wave⁂]

Anyone know how the new Pokeballs work?

EDIT: I got your Mewtwo sprite right here.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Anyone know how the new Pokeballs work?

You throw them at pokemon and it may or may not catch them

I was searching for sprites on google when I came across this.

Looks legit to me. =D

Huh...i like most of the sprites, but i think they could have done a better job with Blue and Lance's sprite. A lot better job in fact. Still...nice job otherwise.

I also wonder if Falkner still has his level 9 Pidgeotto .

That was a failure, okay?

Oh, and the new sprites look very much non-shaded and flat compared to the Platinum ones.

Edit:
I think I like the new style. It's growing on me. Imagine how good it will look ingame!

It's level 13 now

The key word was "new."

 

[Mewter]

You meant this, right?

 

[POKE40]

Does Gamefreak have a set release date for North America?
I'll play it over the summer.

 

[urdailywater]

You meant this, right?

Not many of those are too new, are they?

I know friend ball and fast ball aren't new.

>.> I really didn't give Kurt too many apricots. I preferred Pokeballs for how they looked.

 

[Wave⁂]

Ohhh, thanks Mewter.

Mismagius gets Nasty Plot now.
Mismagius, OU. OU, Mismagius.

Venasaur gets Block now, with Leech Seed it'll be a ***** to take down if you don't have a counter.

Weavile gets Low Kick, maybe people'll start using him more.

Also, ExtremeSpeed Dragonite.

 

[D13]

ExtremeSpeed Dragonite seems fun.

Quagsire gets recover now! =D

Eh... Who has the list of new moves...?

21:44; It seems we have found that Giovanni is utilised within an event that features Celebi. In this event, you meet Giovanni after he hears Team Rocket's message from Goldenrod's Radio Tower. He remarks that you remind him of Red and challenges you to a battle. Once you defeat him, he remarks that his three years were wasted. However, according to the text, you get sent back in time three years for the duration of the event. We'll bring more details when they come

Awesome, Blastoise gets Water Spout now. I remember back in Ruby I used to hack my Blastoise to have that move

Wow, they are just handing out Super Fang to pokemon.

Poor Raticate

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Super Fang on Walrein will just make Hail Stall broken to the max.

Meh, no, that's not the story actually.

EVENT STORY:::

Spoiler

A special Celebi given out by Nintendo will trigger an event at the shrine in Ilex Forest. Kotone/Hibiki will wander up, and Celebi will send you three years into the past. You arrive to see Giovanni and Silver, the rival, talking on a hillside. Giovanni reprimands Silver for not wanting to take part in Team Rocket's plans, and then leaves to the left. Silver leaves, bumps into the player, and remarks a few words before Celebi again thrusts you into time travel.
You appear in a cave. You see Giovanni with a Radio, listening to the broadcast of Team Rocket encouraging Giovanni to return. Giovanni seems unphased, then turns around and battles you. His team is as follow:

Nidoking - 42
Honchkrow - 43
Nidoqueen - 46
Kangaskhan - 40

After his defeat, he remarks that you remind him of the kid that foiled his plans 3 years ago. Then you are sent back to the forest.

He spent 3 years training and his pokemon are LOWER levelled than they were in Firered and Leafgreen?

Guys, I'm going to make a seperate topic for HG/SS Competitive Influence. Please keep this thread to general discussion only. :D

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Aggron learns Head smash now...

With rock head, that's a 150 * 1.5 (225) power move with no recoil.

To a flying/ bug that's 900!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I agree with P.I. His Pokemon in FireRed / LeafGreen were so much better... >.<

Gastrodon has Recover D:

But have you seen Quagsire's new sprite? It's adorable.

 

[Mic_128]

looks like he's got a :3 face

 

[Wave⁂]

lol it does! He's cute.

 

[D13]

He's like a blue stuffed animal that's slimy and has no fur.

 

[uhmuzing]

I'm glad because this time there'll be that physical/special split.

 

[D13]

A bunch of other sprites can be found here.

http://spriters-resource.com/ds/pokeheartgoldsoulsilver/

Ho-Oh's overworld sprite is amazing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My goodness. Look how big Wailords walk about sprite is...

HUGE...

Can you even fit that thing through anywhere in Kanto or Johto?

 

[D13]

These are some sprites I found cool or funny.

Note Mr. Mime's sweet dance move.

 

[XACE-K]

That Hitmonchan sprite is awesome. And Quagsire goes from a :3 face to a :D face.

 

[Neo Exdeath]

Weezing's sprite shows why you shouldn't do drugs.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like Flaafy's second sprite, it's tail is straight and it's looking up in wonder

 

[T-major]

I'm so exited for this. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS GUYS OMG!

I dang well exited my house down, I was jumping for joy so hard!

I've wanted this since they remade Red and BlueGreen, since GSC was my favourite generation. I actually might play competitively this time (instead of saying I will, then not -___-)
