Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

Hi again! After almost a whole month not posting here, and again for the same reason (I’m not making these up, but the workload and assignments here are really not what I expected to be), I come back with a great news. For those who missed out about the news, last week, there is a rumor arising about the remakes of the Pokemon Gold and Silver versions. The reason for this is because last week, the aired Pokemon show in Japan announced a new Pokemon game, and within the screen are two Pokeballs, made of gold and silver. Thus, after couple of days, it is CONFIRMED! The long awaited remake of the Pokemon Gold and Silver (best versions, in my opinion in terms of gameplay value) is announced! The Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. These are the screenshots from the currently developed game. It shows the player (either Gold or Silver) walking around New Bark Town with Chikorita following him. Images are courtesy of Serebii.net

From the looks of it, it is built on the same engine with 4th Generation Pokemon games, and obviously for Nintendo DS console. However with the inclusion of the screenshot, it seemed that your starter Pokemon will be following you around just like in Pokemon Yellow. There are currently no updates and news regarding this, but Serebii.net says that the next CoroCoro magazine will feature the two Pokemon games in their next issue this Thursday. And last but not least, it is scheduled for Fall 2009 release in Japan. So expect about half a year or so for the American release. And while we wait for the next CoroCoro magazine, I would also like to remind you who resides in Japan or USA that the event for the Key Card for the Rotom forms will be ceased in less than 48 hours. If you’re in Japan or USA, don’t forget to get that. And see you next post..!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3

A few days ago, the Japanese magazine known for its early screenshot and publication of games (notably the Pokemon series), CoroCoro, revealed a page about the rumored upcoming Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. The given title in the page was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky. Try to google that and you’ll be taken to various blogs that provide the details about the upcoming game. They’re still the same details, though. Here are those details, as well as a nice screenshots for you.

• It is possible that Explorers of the Sky is a direct sequel of the previous Explorers of Time/Darkness, given the similarity of the title. This is somehow confirmed as in the CoroCoro page, there’s a Grovyle there (doh, it’s obvious!).
• Because of the title, many speculates that Shaymin and it’s Sky Forme will be featured in the game.
• There are five new starters, Eevee, Phanpy, Riolu, Shinx, and Vulpix. Two starters that are taken out are Meowth and Munchlax.
• It will possibly be released in Japan sometime in Spring 2009 (that is to say, around Q1 2009).

And here are the screenshots:

	The five new starters.
	The aforementioned Grovyle. Possibly a continuation of the story from Explorers of Time/Darkness.
	Both Grovyle and Dusknoir are surrounded by four Sableye.
	Grovyle talking to Sableye.

There are possibly more screenshots out there, but basically it’s the same one and being cut from the scanned CoroCoro page. A decent scan could be found here at Gamekyo. Images are thanks to Gamekyo and information are thanks to Serebii.net and Bulbapedia. Can’t wait to see the Japanese release so we can gather much more information on this. See you next post..!
