As promised last week, when Pokemon aired in Japan they “officially” announced Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. To our dismay, it looks like it is running on the Diamond/Pearl engine. However it looks like there were some graphical touchups. Not to mention that it looks like your partner may follow you outside of it’s pokeball? That was always one of my favoirte features of Pokemon Yellow, and I’m sure it would be a welcome addition back for fans.
New scans out of the July issue of CoroCoro give a bunch of new information:
- There are two new unknown human characters.
- A new area called “Torn World” will be added.
- Lucas and Dawn get new clothes.
- Shaymin’s Sky Forme is confirmed (it’s Grass/Flying type).
- For those who are picking up Movie Regigigas when the 11th Pokemon movie debuts in Japan can transfer it to Platinum, then catch Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in-game.
You can check out all the scans here.
