New Heart Gold & Soul Silver News Friday, Jun 19, 2009 @ 01:39 AM By: Neo Pikachu
The Oha Suta kids show in Japan and Serebii.net has revealed a few details regarding the the Heart Gold & Soul Silver Pichu and Arceus events. First, it says the Notched Ear Pichu is at level 30 knowing the attacks Volt Tackle, Helping Hand, Swagger & Pain Split. It also states where you need to go for the Arceus event. If you take Arceus to the Ruins of Alph, you will be given access to a new area which houses ruins called Shinto Ruins. Once there, you will meet Cynthia and then decide the Dragon you wish to create. When that happens, Arceus gets swarmed by Unknown.
New Pokémon Title For WiiWare Wednesday, Jun 17, 2009 @ 10:36 PM By: Neo Pikachu
Wind up those Pokémon and send them into battle! Nintendo announces Melee! Pokémon Scramble! for WiiWare!!
And you thought Nintendo was done announcing
games for the week? Wrong! The Big N in Japan have announced a new
Pokémon title for WiiWare, downloadable from June 16th, less than a
fortnight away. Named Melee! Pokémon Scramble!, it features wind-up Pokémon going into battle and will cost 1500 Points.
You must cast your Pokémon (more are earned by defeating others)
into battle in a ring match with other critters, fighting to KO them
all and progress until you get to a legendary Pokémon boss at the end
of each level. Both four-player multiplayer and single-player modes are
featured, with a huge number of Pokémon available.
You begin in the forest, battling wild Pokémon who sometimes will
leave items or a toy incarnation of themselves behind. Picking this toy
version of them up is how you collect more Pokémon during the game.
The title features very simple controls - usually just two buttons,
A & B or 1 & 2 for example. Indeed, two players can play with
just one Wii-mote and Nunchuck. The game sounds an interesting concept,
and we'll hopefully be hearing a lot more as it nears its Japanese
release - including news of the game making it to the West.
Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver news has been quite active in the past week, so it only makes sense that I create a second image roundup slideshow. In creating this, I also made it much more advanced, like I promised. In any case, click here to view it.
New Pokémon Games Announced Wednesday, Jun 17, 2009 @ 06:37 PM By: Neo Pikachu
It looks like not one, but three Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles are on their way to WiiWare!
Pokémon site Serebii.net
is reporting that three new Pokémon games are to be officially
announced for the Wii's download service. This news come somewhat out
of the blue - there was no mention of such titles at E3. Nevertheless,
a magazine scan appears to show these three titles:
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad
It is likely these three are variants on the same game, just as
other Pokémon titles released at the same time are similar to each
other. This news has yet to be confirmed, but signs look legit.
It comes just after another new Pokémon game, Melee! Pokémon Scramble! which was confirmed. It is also for WiiWare.
HG/SS Details: Pokemon that Follow, Boxes, Jirachi Event, Box Arts Friday, Jun 12, 2009 @ 02:24 PM By: FreezeWarp
CoroCoro information continues to come out, and the HeartGold / SoulSilver duo becomes more appealing every day. As of now, this is what else has been found:
All Pokemon Can Follow Earlier it had been learned that starters will frequently follow a throughout the game. Now it has been learned that in fact all 493 Pokemon, from Bulbasaur to Arceus, will be able to follow you around on your travels. It has also been learned that you will be able to see how they are feeling, although is unknown if through text-boxes or images (Amity Square-style or Pikachu-style), and will be able to get items they have picked up.
Jirachi Event CoroCoro has confirmed that a special level 5 Jirachi is to be given away in DS Download Stations and NintendoZone areas in Japan, as a Wifi event, but it is not yet confirmed if it is a general Wifi event available worldwide or rather just one exclusive to Japan. It knows the following moves: Wish, Rest, Confusion, and Draco Meteor, a move specific to legendary Pokemon. It holds Liechi berry when you get it. It also unlocks a new area in HG/SS when traded over, thouugh area is not current known. It will be available from June 19th to July 17th.
Box Art The two box arts for Heart Gold / Soul Silver have been made public. When looking at these, the depth of the boxes in noticeable as the pokéwalk is also packaged. See them below:
Other Unconfirmed Information Other information that at the moment is hard to confirm is that the game will be more touch-screen reliant and that it will feature an area west of the Nation Park, possibly, although doubtfully, a Battle Frontier.
For those wanting to see a little more of what they're going to get in HeartGold / Soul Silver, we have created a special image roundup of everything there is to see. Enjoy!
p.s. I'll have a slightly better looking one of these out in the next few weeks as we get more images of HeartGold and SoulSilver.
With the next issue of Coro Coro comes many exciting details of Heart Gold / Soul Silver, the 10-year remakes announced a few months back detailing what has long been awaited. What is already known is that these games will premier in the fall for Japan, and presumably in spring 2010 for those elsewhere in the world. Here's what we now have learned:
Walkmon Though the above term which I coined in the past minute (I can't tell you if any other site has already come up with the term; I only check two non-official sites) is doubtfully what this device will actually be called, it does sound like an impressive pun off of the Walkman (perhaps too old a device for many).
What is it, however? It is basically a pedometer, or a tool which measures how many steps you take by measuring the motion of the leg it is attached to. However, unlike others, this one can apparently communicate with your DS (unknown if a DSi specifically or any DS, nor how nearby the DS must be) and your HeartGold / Soul Silver game. In doing this, you will train your Pokemon, raise their levels, possibly battle others, and even find items. However, what is not known is how heavily it will train the Pokemon - it could easily be a single experience point for a single Pokemon for each step (similar to how the day care works in-game). Its also unknown if this will ship outside of Japan, however it is possible that it will be a pre-order prize.
More information as it comes.
Kyroge, Groudon, and Rayquaza Apparently, in HeatGold and SoulSilver you may find one of the legendary monsters as they appeared in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. However, if you get the other one through a trade, thus meaning you have both with you at the same time, you will also come across Rayquaza.
Arceus Event An Arceus, given out during the 11th movie in Japan, can be traded into HeartGold / SoulSilver to trigger an event regarding himself and Cynthia. However, this event is unknown at the current time, and is almost definitely not the unlocking of a level one Dialga / Palkia / Giratina as rumored on some sites.
