One interesting topic is the starter combination people will pick, since you can get not one, not two, but THREE starters! Kanto and Hoenn starters are available - but to avoid spoilers for those who don't want to know, I'll say no more. Personally, I'll start with Totodile, since it's the best Johto starter. Great stats, great movepool that works with the stats, and the fact we're once again cursed with three water type HMs pretty much neccessitates two water types in the party anyway for someone such as myself, who prefers not to use HM Slaves, instead giving his party the HM moves, especially better ones such as Surf and Waterfall. For those of you wondering, Whirlpool is once again an HM, marking the first time an HM has changed in a generation - and in a shock twist, it's become HM05! Whilst some former TMs regained that status in DPP, Whirlpool is the first former HM to regain this status under a different number. I don't know if Defog will even be a field move at all in these games, but there are now NO HMs that deal no damage whatsoever. Rock Smash and Rock Climb are also integrated, btw. Anywho, from Kanto it's got to be Charizard, of course, no question. Then from Hoenn I'd go for Treecko, since none of those three are the most appealling Pokémon, and it'd give me one of each type. Poor Sceptile...it'd be so great if its attack stats were swapped...but that's another story. We interrupt this topic to bring you an urgent spoiler tag! Spoiler: click to toggle Based on sprites of him appearing in the game, it appears that Giovanni may play a role. Who knows, maybe it'll be confirmed that he's Spoiler: click to toggle Silver's father ... That's right, a spoiler in a spoiler! It's a big spoiler if you don't know it. Anywho, with all the sprites available, I was hoping somebody could whip something up for me that would be truly magnificent to see in the game... Could someone make me an opening screenshot of a double battle between Gold & Silver and Red & Green/Blue (Serebii is referring to him as Green, and to match LeafGreen it's possible this will be his English name). The job's already half done, you could take the bottom half of the opening shot of Gold & Silver against Lance & Clair for their part, then just get the other two. Also, another spoiler tag required, but don't worry if you clicked the first one, this is related to the same matter. Spoiler: click to toggle Similarly, I'd love to see a screenshot of a double battle of Gold & Silver against Giovanni and someone...probably just any of the newly named Rocket Admins... All the sprites are on the Internet for this, so if someone's able to make it for me I'd really appreciate it! EDIT: MAJOR spoilers!! Spoiler: click to toggle http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/celebi.shtml First, there's a strong implication of a Celebi being given out. If it's anything like Crystal, which featured mobile phones used to get Celebi, this will be via Wi-Fi. This makes sense since the GTS (I think that's what it was...) is in Goldenrod, like the fancy Pokémon Centre thing in Crystal. Hopefully this'll be the way, or I'll never get my hands on it. Well, that's not true, I'm heading off to uni soon, there's a huge GAME nearby, they normally have these events... Anyway, you get the Celebi, then it activates an event where you travel back in time three years, apparently to just as Giovanni is leaving. He's talking with Silver, and this is it... Spoiler: click to toggle It's finally confirmed that Silver is Giovanni's son. Anywho, apparently Giovanni wants Silver in Team Rocket (or something), but he wants nothing to do with it, so Giovanni heads off to Johto. Then you travel forward almost back to your own time, but instead when Team Rocket are still sending out their radio signal from Goldenrod. Giovanni is going to return, but comes across you. You then beat him, and he vanishes again. Then Celebi takes you home. So yeah. Pretty huge stuff. Edited by Psyduck Ranger, Sep 12 2009, 11:39 PM.

Celebi's Guardian Posts: 1,106 Group: Dimension Warriors Member #2 Joined: June 3, 2007	Hey, just realised...it's almost certainly just a coincidence, but Unbeatable (the season eight theme song) has a section, at least in the movie length version, as follows; "There's a feeling deep inside me, and it's always there to guide me. It's in my heart and in my soul, leading me to the ultimate goal." Pretty nice, I thought...heh...
