Yeah, it does look like a windmill.

Agreed. Windmill.

I'd like to take a moment to criticize the promo video. First of all, the Hikozaru I mean, Chimchar (so used to the Japanese names, it seems like D/P just came out) costume had a bow on it. Why did they even need Chimchar? Or Lucario, for that matter. The guy in the orange suit had cheek makeup. Seriously. And do they really need to "unveil" the starters? They've been around for AGES. Finally, I don't think that the preview video turning off elicited a stage fall. Overall, it sucked. Worst video I've ever seen.

As for the speculation about a remake cycle:
Unless Nintendo comes up with a radically new Pokemon system (i.e. Dark/Fight/Psychic starter trio, Gym leaders replaced with feuding cities, etc.), the remake cycle will continue. Besides, how many new names can they think up? Soon it will be "Pokemon Earwax" and "Pokemon Boogers," with pokemon that look like they need to be taken out by a combination biohazard/SWAT team. I have a feeling that if they don't change the entire game itself, Pokemon is going to become just another piece of history that we fanatics will be trying to revive, like those people who reenact the Civil War.

We've been through colors, stones, and now, SHINY colors. Then, we go to, Pokemon Dog, Pokemon Cat, and Pokemon Fish.

Japanese live‐action television tends to be ridiculous at the best of times, really. The target age group is also younger than yours or mine.

It still probably wasn't even nessassary, if many Japanese kids played G/S/C.

Well they are using the the dpp engine so they could include whatever they want, and I hope they do include the alt forms of shaymin giratina and rotom, battle frontier because they are only remaking this game once so they better not let us down like that. And I hope thy finally change Ho-Ohs and Lugias sprite for the better Im sick of looking at the same ones all the time.

They did but he probably means that he wants to see one of Lugia in a completely different pose like when it's perched or something because it does looks a bit dull because it's always in a flying pose with only his wings or direction slightly changed.

Such is the fate of bird-like pok?mon. But, when the cover art gets released, we'll know.

They should go back to the R/S/E graphics.


Heh, it would be sweet if they made generation I/ III DsI downloads.. but more onto the thread. The games sounds epic, due to me NEVER having the orgional Gold or Silver, so, yea… Can't wait  ;D

I…I..I don't know what to say. Gold and silver have been my fave pokemon games for so long. My whole life, Gold was my first game. So I'll just say this.

Good news for you, look at Lugia now:

It's weird because a few months ago I requested a Gold/Silver reamake for DS that you could take your Pokemon out with you…do you think…nah. It couldn't be.

Overworlds most likely. Or perhaps cutscene sprites?
