How would you like Heart Gold / Soul Silver to turn out?

[FreezeWarp]

How radically or minimally do you want the new GSDS remake to be changed, and what do you want to see changed. Of the few pics we have already seen, we know its going to be a very detailed and realistic game, so that much is fairly obvious.

I, myself, want to see plenty of new areas and new side-quests. Likewise I also want to see implementation of the DSi camera (though the game itself mostly not relying on features of the DSi). I also want to see all 1st and 2nd generation Pokemon, and their evolutions, to appear, but none of the others before beating the elite four. Another major change I think would be really cool is at the very least a battle tower, but possibly a whole set of battle facilities completely unique from D/P. Finally, I want to see a completely revamped Pokegear that acts like the Poketch but is much more powerful, as well as being more vibrantly colored.


Though, what do you think? For example, do you think the old HMs should be included, replaced by new TMs, or completely removed.

[Red Globe]

Some new evolutions.

And maybe if the main character could actually talk, for once

That would actually be pretty nice. You generally don't have many options. Really, it would be very cool to be able to change the story a bit every here and there.

I wish they would take out HMs altogether. I hate using HM slaves, and I hate wasting valuable move spaces on my team. Besides, most of their purposes don't even make sense. Once the tree is cut down, why would it immediately grow back? Either have a machete item to cut them down, or just get rid of them altogether. Surf is a useful move though, and Strength would be a lot more useful if it were a fighting-type move instead of normal-type.

I prefer completely new pokemon over evolutions of old ones; I think the old ones are just fine as they are. And the silent protagonist is an RPG tradition. It wouldn't make much sense to make them able to talk. What would that be used for anyway?

[Red Globe]

I'd like something NEW in the HG/SS. Something inovative.

[Yo Shee]

Oh, and we can't forget the sprites either. I hope they have new sprites. Newer and more useful TMs would be nice too, but that might decrease the compatibility with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

[Red Globe]

They have 5th gen sprites in HG/SS

[Shadow]

I also want to see implementation of the DSi camera.

That would really suck, as the game would be restricted to the DSi.

I wanna see that too.


Also, I am really sick of those HMs. I mean, as stated here, they are always the same, and most of them are pretty much useless (except for Surf).
I suggest changing them, and creating new ones which are more useful, or removing them altogether.

Plus, as much as I want some pre-evolutions and evolutions, let's face reality: It will never happen in HG/SS. I mean, this would be 5th generation.

As of right now, the game is turning out to be what I expect. In particular, that is a very fun but rather quick game.

[Star Strike]

I'm pleased that there has some things added to Heart gold and Soul silver from the previous games. Serebii has updated with more pictures today! Nintendo WI-FI has been made into the games. The legendary Pokemon events added are unexpected. I'm grateful of the changes they have added! I have a question is there still going to be day and night in the remakes?

[Yo Shee]

I don't see why not. Diamond/Pearl/Platinum had it, so I don't see why they'd want to take it out again. If anything, it should be much improved of the system they had in the originals, where it would become pitch black at 6:00 during the summer.

[Neo Pikachu]

I'd like to see pretty much everything that has been stated here already. Except the characters talking. Or you being able to hear them speak. I think it is much better for you to read. Wanting to listen instead of read just shows how lazy you truly are.

I agree with, Yo Shee. I don't see why Heart Gold and Soul Silver wouldn't have day and night. There should be snow, rain, hail, all of it included in the game and it should be more realistic. Platinum was good, but I want things to make HG/SS to be unique.

I actually like the HMs, but I wish they themselves were more powerful moves. Rock smash is by far one of the most annoying moves ever, whlist cut isn't much better.

I don't really think any additional Pokemon should be added as it would decrease compatibility with old games, however the silent protagonist in something I'm in favor of, too.

No, I just mean some small features, like the old event with the Unown ruins and the Gameboy printer.

Definitely agree with you there.

Weather has always been something I find very intriuging, considering it is something of nature, so I think that not only should there be snow, rain, and hail, I would like to see events like heavy wind causing it to be hard to walk, lightning flashing before your eyes (RSE had a good implementation of this), and the like. I would also like to see water puddle in the rain, snow accumlate during those times, etc.

Yeah, I wouldn't want them to get rid of them so much if they were actually useful moves. At least Rock Smash has a useful type, whereas Cut is 100% useless. They need better typing and power.

I wasn't saying that I wanted them to include new pokemon, I just meant that in general I prefer brand new ones as opposed to add-ons to existing ones, such as evolutions and pre-evolutions.

I really want them to change the way that the weather effects work in battles. For instance, abilities such as Tyranitar's and Abomasnow's are so annoying that it makes me stay away from using these pokemon, even though I want to use them. Rather than showing an animation and text on each turn, the weather should be continuously animating in the background until it fades away.

Hm... Yeah, I actually meant to put etc after the snow, rain, and hail part. Glad that you went into detail though. Heavy wind causing it to be hard to walk and lightening flashing before your eyes like in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald would definitely make the game more interesting. It'd also be cool for the snow to fall, melt in certain places and freeze in others.

[Red Globe]

RSE Weather was really cool. Really, really cool. But they didn't have night/day :/

[Neo Pikachu]

Yeah, but we're only talking about using the lightening flash effects and then sun effects from RSE.

[Shadow]

I would love to see the weather effects in HG/SS!
