    The Pokemon Sunday vid:
    Here's

    The starter art shows up at about 2:05, while gameplay vid appears at about 4:55.

    The music is very similar to the original.

    It's better than no images at all. Besides, the vid was just meant to be a tease.

    That's pretty cool; nice idea of having your Pokemon follow you. Definitely hearkens back to the days of Pokemon Yellow, where Pikachu would always follow you...

    Until you evolved him into Raichu.

    I can't help but think that the starter-following-you might not even be a permanent feature, and only last in the earliest part of the game (maybe until you reach that house with Prof. Oak and... Mr. Pokemon?).

    Yeah I'm thinking the same to be honest. Still, its nice that they've finally implemented it into another game.

    Ah yeah the garden in DP, completely forgot about that. My mistake.
    As for Platinum, I havent played it yet. It isnt out here for another 2 weeks, so my knowledge is thus limited to the big news that was released prior to the game.

    That would be awesome if your Pokemon could follow you around. If they did, it'd probably be like the garden in DPPt and discriminate any other Pokemon that isn't widdle an' adowable. :mad

    Aww, that sucks. I'd forgotten that it wasn't out everywhere yet. Anyway, what I was referring to was the fact that in Platinum you could also use any evolution of a starter Pokemon in that park as well as their predetermined selection of cute Pokemon.

    Looks like there is going to be an in-game event for the Pikachu-color Pichu that is featured in Pokemon Movie 12: Arceus Towards the Conquering of Time-Space. I'm also thinking that Notch-Eared Pichu MIGHT be a sprite/gender difference, since she's also being featured in Movie 12; by the way, Notch-Eared Pichu is being voiced by none other than Shoko-tan Nakagawa who is doing the current ending theme for the anime. Am I the only one who is disappointed by the redesign of the Johto female?

    Shoko-tan FTW!
    And hell no, first thing I complained about was the Johto female. Crystal girl was awesome.
