Part 3 of ‘HeartGold’ & ‘SoulSilver’ Coverage

By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted Posted onSep 11, 2009 at 8:02 PM · 0 Comments

This is a continuation of the two HeartGold and SoulSilver news stories below. We had to post a new one because of the TCG story below. The information is arranged from newest to oldest.

  • The PokeWalker seems to be able to detect abuse. I have done a few tests with shaking the PokeWalker in a one minute time span. Each time I shook it very fast for one minute, it would only add six steps. When I shake it at a slower rate for the same one minute, it goes up nearly 150 to 200 steps. These results appeared in multiple tests. Each time the PokeWalker was shaken at an extremely fast rate over the one minute, exactly 6 steps were added.
  • If you have all Pokemon recorded in your PokeDex, Professor Oak will ask you to take a picture with him.
  • If you present Togepi or Togetic to Professor Elm, he will give you an Everstone for having hatched it.
  • PokeRadar Pokemon
    • Edge of the Night Sky: Clefairy, Hoothoot
    • Residential Area: Magnemite
    • Pretty Oceanside: Wooper, Staryu
    • Rugged Path: Onix, Machop
    • Noisy Forest: Spearow, Bellsprout
    • Refreshing Field: Sentret, Nidoran (M), Kangaskhan
  • Sometimes as you are using the PokeWalker, your Pokemon will find Watts and give them to you. It seems that this mainly only happens when the PokeWalker comes out of sleep mode after a long walk (though that needs to be confirmed). Another interesting feature of the PokeWalker is that it seems that random Pokemon can also jump into your PokeWalker. If no Pokemon is present inside of the PokeWalker sometimes a wild Pokemon will appear out of nowhere and join you. You do not need to catch these wild Pokemon, they are yours once they join you.
  • Residential Area is unlocked at 500W. The next course is unlocked at 1,000W.
  • Pretty Oceanside is unlocked at 200W. The next course to be unlocked is at 500W.
  • Item Finder items for Edge of the Night Sky: Star Piece, Moon Stone
  • Jirachi is now in HeartGold, about to be checked for anything in the PokeWalker. The second that Jirachi is in your game Edge of the Night Sky will be unlocked. There is no need to transfer Jirachi to the PokeWalker to unlock the course.
  • At 50W you can unlock Rugged Path. You get to unlock the next course once you save up 200W.
  • If you lose a battle against a wild Pokemon when using the PokeRadar on the PokeWalker, you will be penalized additional Watts.
  • After reading the manual for the PokeWalker, there are a few more things that should be known. When the PokeWalker is not in sleep mode it counts the number of steps correctly, however, it does not update the display all the time (It updates very rarely). This is not the case for when the PokeWalker is in sleep mode. The PokeWalker goes into sleep mode if you have not touched any buttons for 60 to 90 seconds. To take it out of sleep mode you have to hold the center button for more than 0.5 seconds. When in sleep mode it counts continuously, and then displays the number walked total once taken out of sleep mode.
  • To bring a Pokemon back from the PokeWalker you have to go back to the Connect to PokeWalker screen. Once there select the first option. It will then start searching for the PokeWalker’s signal. Now, on the PokeWalker itself, you have to go to the third option to the left on the main menu. Put the PokeWalker right next to the cartridge again and hold down the middle button until your Pokemon successfully makes it back to the game. All remaining Watts will be transferred to the games and added to the total.
  • The third option from the right on the PokeWalker menu (Information) will remind you of a few things if you have forgotten. Once you click on Information you are brought to a screen that displays: Trainer Name, Current Course, and Time of Day. If you click on the right button on the PokeWalker it will display how many steps you took the day before at the top, and then total steps at the bottom. Pressing right again will tell you the same information for two days ago. You can keep pressing right until you get to seven days ago, which is the max amount it will save at one time.
  • The default settings for the PokeWalker is so that it makes sounds. This can be changed by going to the last option on the PokeWalker main menu; Settings. Sound settings are the first option and contrast settings are the second. If you choose sound settings, you will get the choice of either Mute, Medium Volume, or Full Volume.
  • You receive Watts as you walk on the course. These Watts can be used in one of apparently three ways. The first way is the PokeRadar, a mini game that costs 10W. A second way is the Item Finder, which is another mini game costing 3W. Finally, the last use of Watts is bringing them back to your DS. These Watts that you bring back will build up to satisfy requirements for unlocking new courses. In order to unlock the third course you must have walked over 50 steps and have at least 50W total.
  • Now that your Pokemon is inside of the PokeWalker, it is important to know what is what. The main screen for the PokeWalker consists of 6 options. These six options are: PokeRadar, Item Finder, Connect, Information, Held, and Settings.
  • To connect to the PokeWalker for the first time, go to the Connect to PokeWalker option as described on the list below. Once there it will give you a small little introduction and then let you pick your Pokemon. After you have picked the Pokemon you would like to bring, you can pick one of the two default courses. The first default course is Refreshing Field and the second is Noisy Forest. After you have chosen which course to go to (and confirm it) your DS will tell you to hold down the middle button on the PokeWalker for five seconds. You must have the PokeWalker lined up with the cartridge for them to communicate. Be careful because it is very sensitive. As you hold the button an animation will proceed as your Pokemon is transferred.
  • Once you have written your first save file, there will be six options that you can select from on the start up screen. These six options (from first to last) are Continue, Start New Game, Connect to PokeWalker, Mystery Gift, Wi-Fi Settings, and E-mail Settings. This means that unlike previous games, the Mystery Gift feature is already enabled.
  • You can only take Pokemon out of your PC box to put into the PokeWalker. Because of this, you have to wait until you own more than one Pokemon to use the PokeWalker.
  • The PokeWalker has a tab in it when you get it out of the box, you need to remove the tab for it to start up. When it starts up you will notice a little face. This face is only displayed before you have set up the PokeWalker for the first time. If the face is frowning, then the PokeWalker is sending a signal but not getting a response. If the face is indifferent, then the PokeWalker is not sending out a signal at all. If the face is happy, then it is sending a signal and getting a response from the game cartridge. Whenever the PokeWalker’s screen turns off, press down the middle button for more than 0.5 seconds to turn it back on. (This goes for any time when using the PokeWalker, not just for setup)
  • Before going over setup and use of the PokeWalker, there are some notes that should be mentioned. Unlike previously thought, the PokeWalker does not give 1 experience point per step. It appears to be more or less somewhere around 1 experience for every three steps. Another point to keep in mind is that the PokeWalker does not constantly update your steps as you walk them, instead it updates the number of steps every once in a while.
  • The PokeWalker comes with two back plates that you can interchange. One of the back plates is plain and the other has a hook on it. You will need a screwdriver to change the back plate. This is also how you change the battery.
  • Mewtwo is in Cerulean Cave. It’s at level 70 and knows Power Swap, Guard Swap, Amnesia and Psycho Cut.
  • PokeWalker details will begin to be posted here in an hour or so.
  • Crasher Wake from Sinnoh gives you Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup masks when you talk to him in the Celadon City Department Store. They go into your Accessory Case and you can presumably use them when you take a photo with your Pokemon team. He calls you “(Trainer) Mask.” If your name is Ash, he would call you “Ash Mask.”
  • Backtracking: So, the below ritual the Kimono Girls perform is the same one referenced by Cynthia during the Arceus event (which is translated by Bangiras at the bottom of this post). It seems that Johto and Sinnoh have a deep connection with their Legendary Pokemon, people, and rituals, though we will probably never fully understand or know what exactly the connection means.
  • Backtracking: The Kimono Girls dance. You ring the bell. Ho-oh appears on top of the tower. Tamao says, “That is Ho-oh… Since the ancient days, this town has called it the guardian deity of the sky. To this day, how many people have failed its challenge? Because of (Trainer)’s heart and the Clear Bell’s chime, it finally appeared… (Trainer), see if you can do it! If I’m not mistaken, Ho-oh has been waiting for a person like you to appear…” After you defeat Ho-oh, Tamao says, “Not only did you summon Ho-oh to this place, but you skillfully made it your own. You’ve truly done well. We have no advice for you beyond this: Continue to work hard in your future travels.” The other Kimono Girls say, “Thank you for everything you’ve done. If you see Elm, give him our regards.” This is the last of the Kimono Girls in the story.
  • Backtracking: A little girl runs into the Dance Theater. “Big sis! A big Pokemon’s shadow is covering the Tin Tower! Could it be…” Tamao says, “(Trainer)! Let us go to the Tin Tower before it attracts a crowd!” The Kimono Girls leave the Dance Theater. You’re supposed to follow them, but you can go to the Pokemon Center and make other preparations first. When you get to the roof of the Tin Tower, the Kimono Girls are already there. Tamao says, “That’s right, this spot is Ho-oh’s destination. We will perform the dance we’ve practiced every day, and entrust the rest to you. When the Clear Bell rings, Ho-Oh will swoop down from the sky once again!” (In SoulSilver, they say all of this about Lugia in the Whirl Islands.)
  • Backtracking: When you’ve defeated all of the Kimono Girls, Tamao says, “We were not mistaken about you. It is only appropriate that we give you this. Please accept it.” She gives you the Clear Bell.
  • Backtracking: The second Kimono Girl from the right comes up to you. “Ah, I am last. I glimpsed you in the Goldenrod Underground. You were quite reliable. I am Komomo, the Kimono Girl who dances spinning dances even in the Underground. You did a splendid job of holding back the Team Rocket members who invaded the Radio Tower. Truly, your exploits are grand enough to charm me. This time, display your power for me! Now, a Pokemon battle will commence!” She has a level 38 Vaporeon with Quick Attack and Surf.
  • Backtracking: The second Kimono Girl from the left comes up to you. “What a splendid battle style. On the ice, you gave my back a push, enabling me to skate across the ice. I am Kimono Girl Sakura. In the Dragon’s Den, you passed the elder’s test splendidly. I heard everything from outside the shrine. Well, let’s battle our Pokemon! “ She has a level 38 Jolteon with Thunderbolt and Double Team.
  • Backtracking: The Kimono Girl on the far right comes up to you. “It was an incredible feat. You drove Team Rocket away from this Dance Theatre. I am grateful for what you did then, but truthfully, I am strong. I am Kimono Girl Satsuki. Now, let us have a Pokemon battle! She has a level 38 Flareon with Quick Attack and Fire Blast.
  • Backtracking: The Kimono girl on the far left comes up to you. “You are quite strong. I was saved by you in the Ilex Forest. I am Koume, the Kimono Girl with no sense of direction. I saw with my own eyes how you handled Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well, and assisted the worried Kurt. Next, we shall battle with Pokemon!” She has a level 38 Espeon with the moves Swift and Psychic.
  • Backtracking: Once your Rival leaves, you go inside. The Kimono Girls are all on the stage. The one in the middle talks to you. “Welcome. I am the Kimono Girl, Tamao. I met you in the city of Violet. In order to call forth Ho-oh, a person who can touch Pokemon with a righteous heart is necessary. We beseeched Mr. Pokemon, that if that person was to appear, he was to grant them the Mystery Egg as a symbol. And so, the Mystery Egg was transferred from Mr. Pokemon to Professor Elm, then given to you. However…the purity of your heart alone will succumb to the strength of that Pokemon. Can you handle your Pokemon properly? We shall test that now. Are you prepared? Show me the strength of the bonds between you and your Pokemon!” She has a level 38 Umbreon with the moves Confuse Ray, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, and Last Resort.
  • Backtracking: Hibiki: “(Trainer), I heard a rumor! Did you help the Kimono Girls? Wow, you’ve been working hard for everybody’s sake! I’m so happy to be your friend!” Elm: “The Kimono Girls are waiting at the Dance Theatre in Ecruteak.” When you arrive at the Dance Theatre, your Rivals runs into you on his way out. Rival: “Why, why…why can’t I win? Those weren’t ordinary dancers… ! Did you see? That’s right, I couldn’t beat all 5 Kimono Girls in a row. Even though I thought it would be easy… they tore me apart. …At any rate, are you thinking of challenging the Kimono Girls? Riding that wave of confidence after beating Team Rocket. The Kimono Girls here are stupidly strong. Well, I’m going. See if you can beat them. I’m not going back in there, since I don’t want to see you in case you win.”
  • Backtracking: After you receive the 8th badge from Claire, you get a call from Elm who wants you to come see him. When you arrive, Hibiki / Kotone says, “(Trainer), you already got 8 badges? You really did it! Come on, the professor is waiting!” Elm: “(Trainer)! I was really surprised by you. And my research has progressed thanks to you! This is from me, use it as you wish!” You then receive the Master Ball from him. “That Master Ball! It is the ultimate Poke Ball, and will capture any Pokemon without fail. I think it was awarded to me in recognition of my research, but… I think you’ll put it to better use than I would. I’m giving it to you, (Trainer)! Incidentally…earlier, these pretty Kimono Girls came into the lab one after another. They said they were looking for you.
  • Defeated Red a second time. The rematch team he uses is the one we posted yesterday. When you beat him he disappears, the game saves, and the credits roll again. Let’s see if anything’s changed this time…
  • — Going after Red for a second battle. Maybe that will activate something?
  • TM47 Steel Wing is in a house on Route 28.
  • Defeated the Elite Four a second time! It only took four tries, a ton of Max Revives, and soft resets. They were using the improved teams we reported about earlier. Let’s see what changes in the game now…
  • — Currently working on defeating the Elite Four a second time. It’s very hard.
  • Here is what we’ve found in the Safari Zone so far:
    • Map 1: Abra, Rattata, Girafarig, Smeargle
    • Map 2: Sunkern, Jigglypuff, Hoppip, Skiploom (Water: Poliwag, Wooper, Marill, Magikarp)
    • Map 3: Nidoran F, Tauros, Nidoran M, Rhyhorn
    • Map 4: Geodude, Graveler, Magnemite, Magneton, Magmar
    • Map 5: Krabby, Slowpoke, Slowbro, Doduo (Water: Poliwag, Magikarp, Lapras, Poliwhirl)
    • Map 6: Farfetch’d, Sentret, Ditto, Spearow
    • Map 7: Bellsprout, Pidgey, Mr. Mime, Misdreavus
    • Map 8: Paras, Sentret, Jigglypuff, Murkrow (Water: Goldeen, Magikarp)
    • Map 9: Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Grimer (Water: Wooper, Poliwag, Grimer)
    • Map 10: Onix, Kangaskhan, Machop, Magnemite
    • Map 11: Lickitung, Magneton, Raticate
    • Map 12: Cubone, Marowak, Sandshrew, Sandslash
  • There are 12 unique, default maps in the Johto Safari Zone to switch around and explore for Pokemon. Each map has six zones. You switch around the maps on the computer outside the Safari Zone and can even make your own, though we haven’t explored this yet. In HeartGold, we can confirm Lapras, Geodude, Graveler, Magnemite, Magneton, Misdreavus, Murkrow, Magmar, and Kangaskan are capturable. Some of the Pokemon are encountered more often on specific maps. For example, you can find Koffing, Weezing, Grimer, Arbok, and Ekans far more often on the swamp map. On the planes map, you encounter Girafarig, Rattata, Abra, and Smeargle more commonly than anywhere else (perhaps exclusively for some of them). This information is subject to change as we play through it. Remember, the Kanto Safari Zone has been replaced by the Pal Park.
  • In terms of layout, the new Battle Frontier located west of Olivine City is exactly the same. The only difference are the Trainer overworld sprites, which have been switched up. The entire Frontier may be a copy / paste job from Platinum, but we cannot confirm this yet. We already discovered earlier that all of the Frontier Brains are exactly the same. Perhaps the Frontier is portable?
  • Backtracking: You can battle the Kimono Girls in their dance studio. Kimono Girl #1 has a Lv.38 Umbreon with Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Confuse Ray, and Last Resort.
  • — We’re making a list of things we need to go check out.
  • The Dragon Lair’s elder gives you a Lv.15 Extremespeed Dratini if you answer his quiz questions correctly. Its attacks are Thunderwave, Dragon Rage, Twister, and of course the aforementioned attack that it cannot normally learn. This was done in Crystal too.
  • Yes! Caught Entei at level 40! It comes with Roar, Fire Spin, Stomp, and Flamethrower.
  • Caught Raikou! It’s at level 40 and knows Roar, Quick Attack, Spark, and Reflect.
  • Latios knows Dragonbreath, Protect, Refresh, and Luster Purge. As mentioned earlier, it’s at level 35. It is NOT holding a Soul Dew. Earlier, Steven Stone said that Latios was roaming because of the Soul Dew. Maybe someone stole it and fled to Kanto and we will find it later? It is only roaming in Kanto too.
  • The cut-scenes for most locations change based on the time of day. For example, when you enter National Park at night, its cut-scene shows the lamp posts on and a dark sky.
  • The Magnet Train has its lights on at night.
  • Forgot to mention Suicune‘s stats even though we caught it a long time ago. It’s level 40 and knows Rain Dance, Aurora Beam, Gust, and Mist.
  • Reposting for completeness. Zapdos is in the Power Plant at level 50. Its attacks are Discharge, Ancient Power, Charge, and Agility.
  • Moltres is in Mt. Silver. You have to use Waterfall to get to it. It’s at level 50 and knows Flamethrower, Safeguard, Air Slash, and Ancient Power.
  • Ellen Degeneres replaces Paula Abdul on American Idol. Yeah, these games keep you in a box. Today is also 9-11. :(
  • When trading from these games to DPPt, your Pokemon’s Apricorn Poke Balls are changed to regular Poke Balls.
  • Caught a shiny Magnemite. Its field sprite is shiny.
  • Articuno resides at Seafoam Island and knows Ice Beam, Reflect, Ancient Power, and Agility. It’s level 50.
  • Encountered Latios! As the encounter battle music plays, the camera moves all around you and gets blurry and then you see it like usual. Normal Pokemon battle music is playing. Latios is at level 35. We’ll try to catch it to find out its attacks since it runs away as soon as you fight it or attempt to capture it.
  • Bill’s grandfather is in Bill’s house north of Cerulean City. As in previous games, if you show him a specific Pokemon, he will give you an evolutionary stone. Staryu grants a Water Stone, Pichu a Thunder Stone, Oddish a Leaf Stone, Lickitung an Ever Stone, and either Vulpix or Growlithe grant a Fire Stone.
  • You of course receive a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina – whichever you chose. The Pokemon will be holding its special Orb.
  • The Shinto Ruins are not in Kanto, Johto, or Sinnoh. They are north of Johto and south of Sinnoh in an unidentified region with snow.
  • You reappear inside the Ruins of Alph. The original man you spoke to is still there. “! A-a-are are you okay? You suddenly vanished before my eyes! I was surprised! … I see. You’re saying, as an effect of Arceus and the Unown’s power an immense energy came into being, and you were hurled to the Shinto Ruins? The Unown, the Ruins of Alph, and Arceus… The mysteries just keep getting deeper! My curiosity burns all the more! I swear to it, one day, I will unravel these mysteries!”
  • Cynthia: “That glowing orb just now… Could it have been… An egg…? Did we witness the instant at which an egg is born…the thing that nobody’s ever seen..? All life is originally cultivated inside an egg. Our world is also like an egg. The life that is born from an egg eventually burns out. That’s why new life is considered sacred… Perhaps that’s what Arceus was showing us.” The lights dim. “What was that..? It was as if another strong power swirled around us..!”
  • You walk on the stage with Arceus. The stage has a purple circle, an orange circle, and a blue circle, arranged in a triangular formation. In the center of the three circles there is a fourth circle. “On the Triad Stage, the circle in the center of the drawings of the Pokemon that created the world, is the origin of everything, Arceus…” She goes to the purple circle. “This is the pattern of Palkia, ruler of space…” She goes to the blue circle. “This one is the pattern of Dialga, the ruler of time… And…” She goes to the orange circle. “Here is Giratina… Ruler of the Reverse World, which sits opposite this world in defiance of time and space.” She walks back to you. “You’ve been acknowledged by Arceus. It’s said that when Arceus, the creator of Earth, displays even a fraction of its power, new life is born from nothingness.” Cynthia leaves the platform. “When you choose 1 of these three circles, something will definitely happen… Prepare yourself fully for when it does.” Now you can choose one of the circles. Just walk to the one you want. “You’re choosing the ruler of (space/time/Reverse World), (Palkia/Dialga/Giratina).” Arceus then walks to the center of the stage (its own circle). It glows. Unown swarm around it. We see the world being born and about 30 photos of space, our planet, cities, cells, etc. An orb appears above Arceus’ head, and flies into your hands. The game then says, “The mysterious orb became a Pokemon! (Trainer) received a (Palkia/Dialga/Giratina)!”
  • Cynthia: “This is the Triad Stage… A sacred stage that was built to worship Arceus. It’s said that Arceus’ incredible power was expressed through music and dance. There are people in Johto, as well, who’ve inherited this tradition [again, the Kimono Girls]. In old books, it is written: When Arceus stands on the Triad Stage, Time, Space, and the Reverse World are born. The Triad Stage’s key player has finally appeared. The one from Sinnoh’s ruins and myths, which I’ve investigated for so long. Perhaps you can go on the stage in order to guide it…”
  • The hiker talking seems to be the same one from Pokemon Platinum who tells the legend of Arceus if you bring the movie Arceus to him. “It is said that Arceus’s body appeared from inside an egg. In Johto, there is a Pokemon Egg that is the vessel from which life is born. It is thought of as an extremely sacred object. In completely separated areas, there are similar myths and legends… Isn’t it interesting?
  • She leaves the cabin. You follow her into the shrine. “This is the ‘Triad Stage’… A sacred stage that was built to worship Arceus. It’s said that Arceus’ incredible power was expressed through music and dancing. There are people in Johto, as well, who’ve inherited this tradition [The Kimono Girls, who earlier in the games do a dance to awaken Lugia or Ho-Oh depending on your version.]. Only 1 Arceus can get on the Triad Stage. Please deposit your other Pokemon in the PC inside the cabin.”
  • Cynthia, who is sitting at the table inside the cabin, introduces herself. “I’m Cynthia. I’m a Pokemon Trainer. As I came to these Shinto Ruins, I was reminded of my birthplace, the Sinnoh Region. I thought I felt that way because this is the first place I’ve been to that has as much snow as Sinnoh. But that isn’t it. Long ago… The people who moved to this place from Sinnoh thought of their birthplace and built a temple here. That is the Shinto Ruins…. ! Are you a Pokemon Trainer? I feel a strong energy emanating from your Poke Balls… This feeling of power… It feels similar to Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina’s, yet it’s different… Do you have a moment? Let’s go to the Shinto Ruins. If my hunch is right, when you and your Pokemon get on that stage, something will happen.”
  • A hiker is waiting for you. “Welcome! It’s cold, isn’t it? You’re shivering, aren’t you? Even though you’re young, you have an interest in the Shinto Ruins. Fantastic! The Shinto Ruins are a fusion of Sinnoh and Johto artistry, down to the design of the pillars. ! Oh dear, I’m going on and on! If we’re going to stand around talking, we should do it in the cabin ahead. Follow me!” He walks, you follow behind with your Pokemon. “That’s right! There’s a remarkable person in the cabin. A famous person from Sinnoh who’s known by every trainer! Apparently, she travels to different places while investigating myths and ancient ruins. She’s incredible.” He goes into his house and keeps talking, “It’s thought that ancient people took the lives of Pokemon, and also granted them life… People and Pokemon were connected that strongly, even more so than they are today. As people migrated to new areas, the myths and legends concerning Pokemon powers also moved and became intertwined. The ancient ruins that are on these grounds inherited the legends of both Johto’s Ruins of Alph and Sinnoh’s Spear Pillar… This proves that long ago, the people of Johto and the people of Sinnoh crossed paths in this place.”
  • He takes you into the Ruins of Alph. “Hmm..! I’ve been researching the ruins for many years, but this time… Something feels different…! Woah! The Unown that are drawn on the wall..! It’s like they’re watching me..! Wh-wh-WHAAATTTT!? There’s an ominous presence. My legs won’t stop shaking!” The scene changes. You’re in the Shinto Ruins. You start out in a room with a weird stage in it, but then you go outside, where it is snowing.
  • As you start to enter the house at the ruins, a man runs out and bumps into you. “Ah, Sorry! I just burst out, and..! Good gracious, I do apologize. You aren’t hurt, are you? Wh-WHAAATTTTT! That Pokemon..! Is that the Pokemon called Arceus, from the Sinnoh region? Whaaa, is that what happened..? You’re training Arceus..? I don’t understand why, I can’t even begin to comprehend it…! Perhaps Arceus could be the key to explaining the mysteries of the Unown and the Ruins of Alph..? Won’t you come with me to the Ruins of Alph!? I won’t let you say no! Something big is going to happen–I can feel it in my bones!”
  • We’re backtracking to do the Arceus event. You bring the movie Arceus with you to the Ruins of Alph.
  • As posted earlier, there are non-Kanto Pokemon used by Trainers in Kanto. Some Trainers use Pokemon from as recently as the 4th generation, like Buizel.
  • Latios / Latias appear on your PokeNav after you activate their event by talking to Steven Stone in Vermilion. Latios is in SoulSilver while Latias is in HeartGold, apparently. Like other roaming Pokemon, if you use Fly, they move to a completely different location. On our eighth time flying though, it appeared right next to us. They appear in Kanto.
