    She's 3 years older, of course it's not going to look exactly like her.

    Also I found out the reason why the other Kanto Gym Leaders that are missing aren't up. Apparently the official Japanese website for some reason haven't put up Brock's, Blaine's, and Blue's pages up.

    don't know if someone posted this, but I remember that everyone was worried about catching pokemon in Apricorn Pokeballs because it was assumed that you couldn't trade them to D/P/Pt. turns out that is false. You can trade them, In D/P/Pt it will just show a regular pokeball though.

    Yeah, read about it in bulbapedia but wouldn't it have been easier to just program them in Platinum? Since I am sure they were plotting to make G/S Remakes for a while?

    Well since you'll only be using them in HG/SS to actually catch a Pokemon it'll be kind of pointless to program them into the Sinnoh games. In addition it would have been a MAJOR hint toward GS/SS. Plus people would be hacking the game like crazy in order to use the Apricon Pokeballs (even if their multiplyer weren't programmed in).

    Don't know if they are true, but a few people are claiming Amazon is saying the games will arrive on March 16. If that is true, March 14 MIGHT be the release date.

    Nintendo of Korea has announced that HeartGold and SoulSilver will be released on February 4th in Korea. Considering that countries outside of Japan have never released the main games before the United States, it's possible we'll see the two remakes here before that date or around the same time. Then again, we thought Arceus and the Jewel of Life would air in America first, but Australia ended up airing it a few weeks before us. Additionally, the TCG sets have historically come out a month before or a month after the games they are based on; the HeartGold & SoulSilver TCG set will hit store shelves February 10th. The beginning of January is too early to release the games, so perhaps Nintendo is going to use the TCG set to generate hype and awareness in February, then release the games in March for maximum sales. The only exception to this rough one-month pattern was EX Emerald, which was released eight days after Pokemon Emerald.

    Gentlemen, you may start your epileptic trees now.

    Yep, like I posted the other day, according to Amazon.com, HeartGold and SoulSilver will be released in North America on Sunday March 14, 2010.

    Blaine is somehow awesome despite losing his lab coat. And, Green puts Red to shame here, Red keeps the same clothes while Green gets such a cool new jacket.
