    Yes, Arceus did create Dialga, Palkia, AND Giratina as well as the lake trio.

    It's pretty obvious they're stopping the dependency on the GBA. All we have left is Mewtwo, Latias, Latios, and Deoxys. (Mew is technically available via My Pokemon Ranch.) I think it's safe two say the first three will be included, and Deoxys will be an event. Whether it will have an ingame location is a pure guess.

    Also, anyone notice the Gold /Forest/ behind Ecruteak? I'm wondering if it is a counterpart to Mt. Silver.

    What's wrong with a female Mario?

    Nothing, except that we already had a female character to choose from for Generation II in Kris who we still don't know if she is in the game or why they replaced her.

    exception of soul?

    She's a totally random character who seems to be out of place for Gen II.

    They should of just kept Kris as the female mascot for both Crystal and G/S.

    Well in Crystal at any rate, in Gold and Silver your only choice was a boy. Though she's considered the female mascot of Generation II.

    However, like I mentioned before, I'm afraid them taking her out as main female character might mean they won't have any of Crystal's features. Unlike Yellow, Crystal was a genuine third version so they could include some stuff from it, like Kris (who is hopefully still somewhere in the game, maybe participating in Pokemon Contests?), Eusine, the Suicune side storyline, etc..

    I mean, if they're gonna include every Legendary Pokemon that wasn't in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, why take out something which was introduced in that Generation (and no, the answer isn't because they needed room, I'm pretty sure a DS cartridge can handle some added text, "cutscenes", and animation)?

    Maybe they're also gonna make a remake of Crystal and that's why Kris isn't shown yet.

    With all the work they putting into HeartGold and SoulSilver, I kind of doubt that.

    Release Date is September 12, 2009. So expect a March or April release in the US.

    Kinda what I was thinking when I recalled my earlier wait with Platinum. But as I keep saying to myself there will be a massive sweep of details and pictures after Septamber 12th and I even expect this place to be booming a bit around then.

    I'll also admit that while the whole new female character thing was unusal when it was first announced and unexplainable as to why Nintendo would do that. But anyway despite this change it doesn't matter to me since it won't hurt my ability to play the game anyway since the important thing is to have fun.

    No, the Pokemon Company was just keeping it secret until they decided it was time to announce it.

    Some more details have come in thanks to a low-quality promotional video; it's not much, but it's something:

    Bulbapedia_user_Tc26 wrote:
    Filb.de and 2ch.net have recently shown a low-quality video featuring a commercial for the upcoming games Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The commercial promotes the pre-ordering of the games on Saturday, July 4. Due to the quality of the video, not much information can be provided.

    The things that can be seen in the video include how certain buildings and locations will look like. Some newly-updated gyms can also be seen. The back sprites of some Pokemon are also shown to look similar to the ones in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. Previously reported things, like the new Pokedex interface and the screen when choosing a starter Pokemon, also appear. Among the most notable things that can be seen on the video are the entrances of Ho-Oh and Lugia. Their entrances utilized the the capabilities of the Nintendo DS systems more, much like Giratina in the opening scene of Platinum.

    There's the video if someone wants to see it, though it's recorded (likely with a cellphone) in front a kinda small tv, so the quality is indeed very low.

    Well this game will definitely be my last cause if they make a 5th Generation, i am sure they will add another dumb feature So HG&SS will be MY LAST no doubt about it cause seriously, if they create more pre & evolutions of previous generation Pokemon more than actual new generation pokemon that means they are running out of ideas! I think 4 Generations enough!
