Perhaps that screenshot with Chikorita signifies that this entire game might work like Amity Square, and you have the option of leaving your lead pokemon out of its Poke ball. I've been waiting for a mechanic like that since RS.
 
I find it unlikely that any Pokemon could be used. Aside from the obvious issue of giants like Wailord or Groudon, they aren't going to make 3 overworld sprites (front, back and sides) for every Pokemon. Go on DPP and see how many pokemon you can find. it won't be a huge amout and some don't even turn from facing forward.

But I don't care either way. I'll be thrilled even if it is just for the starter Pokemon and a small number of others. Pikachu is practically certain.
 
Its obvious that not all pokemon will be able to be out. I'm sure chickorita was only our for the begining of the game, and thats it. GF just wants us to start speculate so that we're into the game so that we can buy it. You're already being played.
 
The new Sugimori art is out? Pokebeach seems to be inaccessible at the time and I can't find it through google...

Yeah it is. Chikorita looks nice and carefree. Cyndaquil looks like how it normally looks. XD (hands on belly, snout pointing upwards) Totodile is pretty neat, jaw wide open and one foot upward. ^-^
 
I wonder if we'll be able to make any pokemon follow us, I thought Infernape being able to follow you in Platnium's Amity Square was awesome but imagine if you could get a Suicune or Lugia to follow you. Let's hope for the best here.
 
Oh, I thought they meant all the new art was up.

Would anyone be so kind as to post the new starter artwork? I'm having a hell of a time finding it.
 
wow i just went to my platinum copy, went to amity square with my infernape, if typhlosion will follow me throughout the game like my nape in the square (so awesome) ill be so happy
omfg bbq i just noticed that the HOUSES HAVE STAIRS, looks to be better than crystal itself

According to his video there are 4 REGIONS!!!

And to be honest I don't doubt this since I watch his videos often, but still be extremely cautious. Or maybe someone who can understand japanese, could you watch this video and confirm the 4 regions? Because I highly doubt pokebeach, and serebii would forget to mention such big news.
 
Omfg finally a male hero that doesn't look like shit.

Oh man my thoughts exactly! I have choosen the girl on both Emerald and Platinum because the male hero isn't convincing :( I think Red and Gold are the best.

Newbark town looks sweet, and the pokemon following you around is a nice detail.

^About that video, i do like the new art for the starters :) i was waiting for new Sugimori too.

Hmm... No one on Serebii mentioned it... The guy has a Comedian badge going into his profile... Yeah, I'm doubting it. Either he's lying or was tricked himself by some bad info.
 
Its actually a good thing that the 4 regions aren't there. If there was it would be a huge sign that 4th gen would be the last gen.

No, it would be real annoying because it would conflict with the whole Level-100 limit thing, which it would be very hard to avoid going over without the levels of the wild Pokemon and Gym Leaders going up extremely slowly, or them introducing some mechanic like forcing you to start over with a different team when you go to another region for the first time. That's why an all-region game most likely won't happen, along with factors like how much space it would take up, etc.

I've never minded the male's sprite to be honest. Brendan was pretty cool, and while DP Lucas was pretty bad, his Platinum update brought him up a few notches in my books. Liked his hat too, probably because I wear one of a similar style, albeit backwards, so it does not slant to the front.

That being said, the Gen4 Gold looks great, and from what we've seen of Silver he'll be a nice improvement as well. Probably safe to assume that Kris will have a sweet sprite to accompany Gold & Silver.

The pokemon following is an interesting idea to re implement, I am quite surprised it has taken them this long to do it. Sure there was the Amity Square, but that was hardly a comparison to how Yellow worked it.

I'm blabbing on here, but there is so much excitement from just a few screen shots and 3 new Sugimori arts. New Bark Town looks amazing, much better than even the difference between R/B and FR/LG.
 
Awesome, awesome, awesome! So looking forward to this. Huh, without an obvious best like Infernape or Swampert around though, I can't figure out who I should pick at the start. :P
 
I seriously hope that Falkner doesn't get Mud Slap again (ewwwwwwwww) so I can finally use Cyndaquil as a starter.

Too bad I'll still need something else for Surf.
 
Another thing I noticed from the video is that there was actually wind blowing in New Bark Town. Like, Zelda: Wind Waker styled 'wind lines'. Pretty cool.

Memory is no problem, it would cost slightly more, (maybe around 50) but memory is not a problem.

Like in GS more than one region wouldn't mean having to start the game again or anything. The gym leaders could be a problem but I'm sure they could just be capped at 85 or some high level. And wild pokemon levels don't have to be raised. In GS pokemon levels in Kanto remained relatively the same(as in maybe 1-2 levels of their original).
 
Just take this as rumour for now, but the game might feature different Pokemon appearances based on parents. Sort of like this Pichu from one of the movies I think it is.

maybe there will be the elite 14 (lance and bruno went twice). You fight every single elite member in every game.
