    I honestly don't see what's wrong with the names. I think SoulSilver sounds the coolest.

    New Lugia and Dunsparce art! Joy!

    What the hell? I was hoping for Crystalchick! Fuck that, I'm playing it as a boy.

    While we're on the topic of Gold and Silver finally getting remade, anyone plan on bringing their old Johto teams back together for this game? Here's mine:

    Feraligatr (nicknamed Tot)
    Ampharos
    Sudowoodo (nicknamed Psuedo)
    Skarmory (nicknamed Silverbolt)
    Sunflora
    Kingdra

    I always use my favorite monsters for my teams, and they're always Pokemon from that generation for the games in question. Here's what I have planned:

    SOULSILVER
    Cyclonus the Lugia
    Drillbit the Dunsparce
    Blot the Smeargle
    Mindwipe the Xatu
    Springer the Sunflora
    Zarak the Ariados

    HEARTGOLD
    Snaptrap the Feraligatr
    Carnivac the Granbull
    Scourge the Scizor
    Airazor the Skarmory
    Cloudraker the Raikou
    Goryu the Tyranitar


    Yeah, I'm a tad too excited.

    First look at Pokegear interface perhaps?
    [​IMG]
    3D scenes/entrances ala LeafGreen/FireRed entrance screens? I'm pretty sure this is (Bell)Sprout Tower, and I MIGHT be seeing things...but is that a Rattata up in the top right corner?! Could this mean that the entrance scenes are animated, since Sprout Tower had that moving flexible pagoda.
    [​IMG]
    Pikachu-colored Pichu encounter?! Could this be a cameo connecting the Movie 12, with a time-space displaced Pokemon appearing in front of Celebi's shrine? Only time will tell!

    Yes, i'm aware these are mostly the same images but they are closer AND clearer.

    "A clearer screenshot of Heart Gold & Soul Silver has revealed the use of the Touch Screen. It appears one of the uses of the screen is for the actual in-game menu including the bag, Pokémon team, Trainer Card, Saving & Options. We do not know if this is the only function on the Touch Screen or if its the only way of accessing those menus. We'll bring you more as it comes." <This text brought to you via Serebii.net

    New magazine scans, this time from Famitsu!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    "In regards to the shiny Pichu that you can download for preordering a 12th movie ticket, "Pikachu-Colored Pichu," it is now confirmed that it will activate an event when transferred from Platinum to the games. The magazine says, "It looks like having Pikachu-Colored Pichu in your party triggers an event with Notched-Ear Pichu." So the Pichu will definitely be a special one like the movie Regigigas last year, which unlocked the caverns of the other Regis in Platinum. This information also confirms that the Notched-Ear Pichu will be in the games and is not just a movie-exclusive character. Considering that the event takes place in Ilex Forest, and this is just speculation, one of the Pichu might have something to do with the GS Ball.

    The Arceus section in the scans is just showing its different PokeDex entries in Diamond and Pearl. It also says that in Platinum, you can hear the legend of Arceus from a hiker in the Oreburg Mine when you trade over the Arceus you get from the movie download and have it in your party. Like the shiny Pichu, the Arceus is special too in that it unlocks something.

    Other scenes from the magazine show Team Rocket confronting Gold, the 3D scene where you pick your starter, the Slowpoke Well, and the outside of Kurt's house, most of which were in the CoroCoro scans."

    "The first close-up scan shows Gold in front of Elm's Lab, but also shows the bottom screen of the DS. The bottom screen now displays the in-game menu: "Pokemon," "Bag," "[Your Name]," "Save," and "Options." Instead of having to hit the X-button to pull up the menu, you will now be able to interact with it using your stylus. The page also mentions that when you choose the male or female character, the one you do not choose will support you throughout the game. This is similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum where you encounter your rival and Dawn or Lucas throughout the game. The storyline will probably be changed to accommodate this." <-this text brought to you via Pokebeach.com

    Considering the number of scenes where the trainer is being followed by a starter (or, perhaps, the Pikachi-color Pichu?), looks like that will be a constant gimmick after all! Still makes me wonder how evolution of your starter will change things.

    Also, LOVE the menu being in the touch screen at all times like that.
