    Okay, so Serebii posted up these new images. 3 of the screenshots are Gold (Male Playable Character) walking around New Bark Town and the other 3 are the Johto Starters we all love in thier new stock art: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile! So here they are:

    Huh? Wait, in the New Bark Town screenshots, if that your starter... FOLLOWING YOU! Well other then that, we also see Silver (The Rival) watching through the window, just waiting to steal the Pokemon which will be the type that has an adventage over yours (For example, in these screenshots Gold chose Chikorita, so Silver will "choose" Cyndaquil once you move onto the next town and he can make his move).


    I wonder if only your starter follows you around, or if you can change it up with any Pokemon in you party, even if you can't, I always loved the feature of your starter following you around. And lol, at first, I thought Silver was a mailbox
    Probably only your starter. I wouldn't want HO-OH to follow me. O_O

    I wonder if the starter(if it does follow you around) will still follow you even after it evolves. I really hope your starter follows you around I was getting tired of that old "Pokemon like to stay in their pokeball" cliche.

    Or if it is just for the first part of the game since the pictures are presently within that timeframe. But alas nothing is known until further updates are made available.

    People were talking about if they were going to make a new version of Gold and Silver, and now they are! I wish they wold have made it for the GBA Sp though because I don't really like the Nintendo DS.

    Well in the Amity Square in Platinum can take in any of the Sinnoh Starter in no matter which evolution they are, so no doubt they can do that in HeartGold and DawnSilver if they wanted to have the Johto Starters follow you no matter what evolution they are if they wanted to do that.

    However remember that this is a feature which was in Yellow (having yuor starter follow you) and in Generation IV (Amity Square), so it is not the new feature which was announced will be introduced the first time ever in the Pokemon franchise in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

    Yeah, i wouldn't be surprised it it's like
    Elm: ok Gold, take a starter so you won't die out there as you go do my errand.
    Gold: Thanks, where's the pokeball?
    Elm: I won't give the pokemon to you, so no pokemon, it'll just follow you and fight for you until you finish the errand. =|
    Gold: Oh...
    Errand is done
    Gold: here's the thing you wanted me to pick up
    Elm: You did well
    Oak: here have a pokedex
    Elm: and you get to keep the pokemon, as long as you help with the guy who stole one of my pokemon, oh and here are pokeballs, keep it inside so it won't get tired >.>
    Gold: 8D

    That's odd, in the gameplay there seems to be some kind of thin, shimmering, white streams that pss by the screen every few seconds, kind of like rain but more horizontal and there is a few seconds between the previous and next stream.

    Well, Crystal was different from Gold and Silver, so these will probably be drastically different for you.

    How so? Did Gold and Silver include Kanto? What were the major changes?

    It's wind, remember?

    "The Town Where the Winds of a New Beginning Blow"

    *For furthur proof, look at the windmill on the house in the South-West corner. Notice it spins each time the stream of wind flies by.

    Oh yay, I was thinking it was wind but I couldn't think of a reason why there would be. Thanks.

    I shoudl really re-read the town's "sayings" again, and maybe even the Gym Leader's "titles" while I'm at it (especially the Johto ones)

    I totally agree But I have to say that I don't think the title will change. LeafGreen and FireRed seem to make more sense with Green and Red before hand but they didn't change. I doubt HeartGold and SoulSilver will change either. That being said, I'm glad that the games are coming

    New Update, an important new picture was just released on Serebii.net that about what the trainers will look like and it should be noted that the female trainer will be different from the one that was seen in Pokemon Crystal. Also it looks like that the whole thing of the strarter following the trainer will not be limited to new bark town but there is no way to finding any other pictures on this at the moment.

    It also seems like there will be an event in the games to utilize the Pikachu Colored Pichu in the Ilex Forest if you got it with the 12th movie ticket. The event also features the Notched Ear Pichu.
