Unofficial Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Discussion thread

As most, if not all, of you have heard, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the remakes for Pokémon Gold and Silver, have been announced. There are articles below:
Bulbanews
Kotaku
Serebii
So basically, use this thread to discuss anything and everything about the new, upcoming games.
News (to be posted as released)
New pics have been released, showing a Chikorita following Gold, with Silver in the background:
Pictures
Coro-Coro Scans/Translations (WARNING: NOT CONFIRMED)

I also have a good translation from the pictures. I'll make it into a summary. Seriously, read all of this. Don't type tl;dr.
As you know, you will start in New Bark Town. You can either pick Chikorita, Totadile, or Cyndiquil. When you receive the S.S. Ticket to venture into Kanto, Professor Elm will give you the option of a Kanto Starter. You may have to complete the Pokedex again, such as in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
The Battle Frontier will be added into this game. It is South of New Bark Town. Their are also islands as to where you can access Jirachi, Deoxys, and Mew. It's as similar as in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. You gain tickets from Nintendo events, then you can travel to said islands.
When you can venture to Kanto, there will places where you can catch 3rd and 4th generation Pokemon. I place equivalent to Pal Park where you can transfer Pokemon from GBA cartridge to either Heart Gold/Soul Silver.
Kanto and Johto Pokemon have new sprites and animations! The game will still have Morning, Afternoon, Night. Their will still be double-battles and the Underground. The Cerulean cave is added and Pokemon are altered in that cave. Mewtwo is can be caught in the cave as well. Level 70, just as it always has been.
New key items are added, old ones are brought back. The Gym leaders will use similar Pokemon, but higher levels; Johto & Kanto. New Functions for Poke-gear, and a couple exclusive content if you're playing on the DSi. Honey Tree are still alive, as well as the Pokemon Contests and a new Fishing contest!
Releasing the Legendary Dogs are the same as in Gold/Silver/Crystal. To release the Legendary Birds, you must go to Victory Road in Kanto and release them. Celebi can be caught in-game as a side quest. Shiny Gyarados and Lance are gone, not included, will cease to exist. Sorry, guys.
The place where you resurrect the Legendary Dogs has been remapped and reshaped. Ho-oh and Lugia are the same as in Silver/Gold/Crystal. One will still have Sacred Fire and the other, Aeroblast. It is also possible to get Hoen Starters as well in this game. Maybe fight Red (Not Ash)and liberate new areas.
If you have a Dsi, you can download a function similar to the Pokemon Box for Gamecube and the Pokemon Ranch for the Wii. It's basically just a huge Pokemon Box. This option is astounding, because Pokemon Box is no longer sold to anywhere but Japan.
Note: "I'm not sure if any of this is confirmed, or true for that matter. Many people have translated the Japanese pictures into English and have recorded this information. So, base it on that. There are more pictures in Japanese out their, I'll try and find more later." --Westopher

I concur. As much as I prefer Gold over Silver, The soul steals it.

I can't wait! The inevitable Celebi Event, Koga, The Legendary Dogs, SR-able Lugia and Ho-oh, and Red Gyradoses for everyone! Silver was the First and best Pokemon game I've ever played, and I've been waiting for this for about 5 years.

I'm most excited about how they can just add more and more to a classic. Journeying to Kanto again should be fun.

1. Ew, Heart Gold. I hate that name. Soul Silver is awesome though!
2. I can wait to see new features. Maybe the Orange Islands. With the additional character, Tracy. That would be amazing. They added the Sevii islands in Fire Red/Leaf Green, why not this?
3. New Sprites. I hope they make the Rival more vicious. Also, I hope they change his team up. Your rival had the coolest team, he just sucked.
4. Oh, I'm looking forward to the battles with Red and Blue. NOT Ash and Gary.
5. When you got to Kanto after you beat the Elite Four, their was really nothing to do.
It was sort of depressing.
-Cinnabar Island was burned down
-No Safari Zone
-No more Rockets
-No Silph Co.
-In most cities, all you did was verse the Gym Leaders, and nothing else.

The reason Cinnabar was dead and most of the dungeon-esque places in Kanto were gone was because the old game didn't have enough memory to support so much crap. Or so I've heard.
So there's hope that they might be in the game this time around...

Not unless they fix up stuff they left out. Read number 5.
I'll say it, I disliked Kanto. Actually, I liked two things about it. Red and Blue. I could go on about how unsatisfying Kanto was to me, but I'll just sum it up.
-Gamefreak rushed Kanto, they left out mostly everything great about it.
-In almost all of the cities, all you could do was verse the Gym Leaders, that's it.
I guess I mostly disappointed by this because I had so much high hopes before, then when I actually arrived to Kanto it was not as it seemed.
Seriously, they added the Sevii Islands in Fire Red/Leaf Green, why not Orange Islands in this remake?
Sabata- Yeah, I've heard that to, but I also heard that the game was rushed trying to compete with other big Gameboy titles like Donkey Kong, Mario, etc...
Hopefully this time around it will be added in. With more extras. =]

well, i don't mind Cinnabar Being dead, but the rest should come back, it was fun. And Mewtwo should be catchable here, or at least the cave should be there.

well yea I am lookin forward to the games as well. As Sabs said, they did not have enough memory to support BOTH regions. Since the DS game pak has more space, then maybe it will have all the added features, even though I highly doubt ALL of the features will be added.

I have an Idea: in HG, You get Lugia in (an edited) Cerulean Cave, and in SS the burned down Cinnabar is a dungeon with Ho-oh in it. Just an idea.

Putting the Orange Islands would be stupid as... look at that, the game isn't based on the anime!
Still, I think the hype is stupid.
@darklink : That's also an awful idea. There would be no difference other than 2-3 Pokemon if they did that. Why did they make Diamond/Pearl? So you can choose which penismonster you wanted over the other.

Well, the Sevii Islands have to be in this game, becuse of continuity errors and Moltres. Maybe they'll just add more.
Also, there's no guarantee that the titles will still be Heart Gold and Soul Siver. Maybe they'll change them, though I doubt they would. I'd prefer Golden Heart/ Silver Soul, which are really just name reversals, but i think it sounds better. Probably keep it HG/SoS though.

Oh, so I guess the anime can be based off of the games, but not the other way around. It doesn't have to be particularly "Orange Islands".
The Sevii islands were actually a great installment into Fire Red/Leaf Green, so Gamefreak may put in another set of Islands. They may name it something different.
Hm, Heart Gold. Soul Silver. Passionate Crystal? Add some lube and a G-String and we have a porno.
