Pokémon Gold and Silver returns - for the DS

[blah54]

i just could never stand having to charge the vs. seeker, it was a pain... and in third gen, you could get exp far better by fighting your friends in their secret bases, fighting lvl 80+ pokemon is far better experience than any normal trainer...

You know how there's that info that there's going to be something never before seen in any of the games?

Its probably not right, but I keep having this thought that you could go to more than 2 regions. For example, you could get to Johto, Kanto, and possibly Hoenn and Sinnoh.

That's probably not right, but meh, a pokemaniac can hope, can't he?

^Now you're kidding, right?

With the VS seeker, you could do what would be the most plausible thing to do when you wanted a battle in the Pokémon world: Send a signal to any trainers around you, who would respond yes/no depending on their mood. Also, you could battle almost whenever you wanted. No need to walk around in the grass for training, or exp. share in the Elite Four, you could train your Pokémon vs. other trainers, and nearly everyone wanted a rematch when you wanted.

With the Pokénav phone, you'd actually have to wait an eternity before someone wanted to battle, plus the fact that G/S/C had no places suitable for Pokémon training either. Plus, ninety percent of the calls you got was from trainers telling you that they had almost cought a Tentacool.
I guess "both" would be a great solution, that you had certain trainers to keep in better contact with, who would also get stronger Pokémon than the regular VS seeker trainers. We'll have to wait and see.

Faster battles, however, would be welcomed. Though, I think that has more to do with the DS's capacity than aestetic purposes.

[HugoMeister]

My problem being not understanding the joke. Which isn't actually a problem.

It took some time to get the joke, I'm sorry. Couldn't get the link well enough.

How would they depict the evolutions of the starters? Last I checked, most of the third forms are twice your size.

Picture shows a Steelix, which normally is the size of a large bus. Unfortunately, they're all shrinked down in the walk-around view.

I'm curious about Diglett/Dugtrio (do they leave a trench?), Lileep/Cradily (no feet), and basically any water Pokémon (ditto).

[SirIngusBingus]

Wait, so any Pokemon will walk behind you in this game? Huh. I'll expect most sprites will look like they do in the Mystery Dungeon games.

Go nuts everyone.

To explain the sprites, yes, all 493 have the capability of following you around. The sprites do reflect actual sizes (larger pokemon appear larger than you, smaller appear smaller etc), but its not 'exact' if you get what I mean.

[SirIngusBingus]

Whoa, CG?

And what was that pedometer thing it comes with? That's a little too nerdy to actually wear...

[KefkaticFanatic]

Which is why I'll Macgyver something up that will constantly shake it so I don't have to worry about that.
