Clearer Close-Ups of ‘CoroCoro’ Pages

Be sure to check out the previous news story.

Clearer scans of certain parts of the CoroCoro pages posted yesterday have been released on Japanese image boards. Click the thumbnails below for larger images. The only new information revealed pertains to the first scan (the other four scans are included for completeness and contain nothing new).

The first close-up scan shows Gold in front of Elm’s Lab, but also shows the bottom screen of the DS. The bottom screen now displays the in-game menu: “Pokemon,” “Bag,” “[Your Name],” “Save,” and “Options.” Instead of having to hit the X-button to pull up the menu, you will now be able to interact with it using your stylus. The page also mentions that when you choose the male or female character, the one you do not choose will support you throughout the game. This is similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum where you encounter your rival and Dawn or Lucas throughout the game. The storyline will probably be changed to accommodate this.

The second close-up shows a clearer picture of Sprout Tower’s cut-scene. As mentioned yesterday, when entering a new area like in FireRed and LeafGreen, a graphic of that area will display. This feature will also be in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
