I hope the safari thingeh magig is better than sinoh's sh**iest safari zone ever! It was soooo boring, and the mud thing just got on my f****** nerves.

I seriously doubt that will happen.
I suspect this is the reason they are being included now. Little kids are proud of their legendary Pokemon, and were probably bummed when they learned they wouldn't be able to use them in tournaments.
If you want to swear here don't half-ass it.
Earlier today I would have seriously doubted the idea of customizing the Safari Zone at all. Seriously who would have believed that? Who knows what you'll be able to adjust?
I think this Safari Zone stuff is really cool. It's almost as if you were appointed to be the new Warden :)
IIRC we didn't find about the Legendary Birds being in Platinum until people actually started playing the game. I'm sure we haven't heard everything about this game yet, considering it's only a month(?) until it comes out and about the only mention of Kanto so far has been dealing with the Magnet train.
I'm going to catch a super slow groudon for VCG next year, since most people will probably go for rain teams, a slow groudon can set up sun, then exegutor/tangrowth can destroy those waters with solarbeam, +heatran for other sun teams.

Kyogre and Groudon are caught in caves, both at level 50. According to Serebii. I wasn't expected anything different, as their "leader" was also at lv50 and they wouldn't make them stronger than it...
Well there would be no effort involved if you could just up the appearance rate of anything you wanted each time.
They didn't show any proof. This a little while before this rumor was brought up. I used Google Translator (lol) to make things easier to read, and HGSS is mentioned only once, and it's when it's said only these games are allowed. But anything about the pokémon themselves is nowhere to be seen. And quite frankly, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Lugia and Palkia allowed but not Heatran, Regigigas, Azelf and Zapdos? Really? Really?

I'm sorry, but if the host didn't get corrected when he said that, I don't see why we would not be allowed to use anything caught/bred prior to HGSS, RNG'd or not. I was actually expecting them to ban pokémon caught/bred in Advance, but it seems like they're not doing even that...
I hope Gamefreak revamps the cries for the first 251 Pokemon. I don't want to go through all of HG/SS and have to listen to those mechanized chirps and gurgles from 1995.
If they didn't do that during advance when Pokemon started getting better sounding cries, I doubt they ever will.
On the contrary, I think this is as good an opportunity as they'll ever get to do it. All the Pokemon with the old bad cries are what will be making up the story of the game. They have a perfect excuse to revamp them now. In advance there would have been little point since Johto and Kanto Pokemon made up so little of the story mode.
What about Rayquaza's Air Lock? It shuts down all weather teams until he's switched out, or dies. Pair him with a Mewtwo or a fast Taunter and you can shut down weather teams whether Rayquaza is there or not.
While we're still discussing Ubers I'd like to list all the important moves they will miss at Lv.50. Note that this list is subject to change should HGSS change the levelset and/or introduce tutors
Mewtwo: Loses Aura Sphere
Lugia: Loses Aeroblast. I'm not sure if losing this move is losing much but eh it doesn't matter.
Ho-oh: Loses Sacred Fire
Kyogre: Loses Water Spout
Groudon: Loses nothing of importance
Rayquaza: Loses Extremespeed. This could be a major loss
Dialga: Loses Aura Sphere. Aside from that expect Dialga to be a staple because of its insane typing, no Aura Sphere Mewtwos, and reduced Earthquake damage
Palkia: Gains Hydro Pump, which Palkia probably needed. Loses nothing of importance
Giratina/Giratina-O: Loses Aura Sphere, but gains Shadow Sneak, making it the only unbanned Uber (to date, once again), to have a priority move. The catch? It can't touch Smeargle :(
EDIT for below: I meant Shadow Sneak can't touch Smeargle. And Palkia gains Pump, not lose it.
Mewtwo: Loses Aura Sphere
Lugia: Loses Aeroblast. I'm not sure if losing this move is losing much but eh it doesn't matter.

Hydro Pump is a level 1 move. And doesn't Giratina get Brick Break?
Kyogre and Groudon are Base 90 Speed. Tyranitar is Base 61 and Abomasnow is Base 60 (and Hippowdon is Base 47 if it matters). Is there something I'm missing that says that Rain and Sun teams are the only things that can work if 670/680 Legendaries are in?
Back when JAA happened, there was no abomasnow and Sandstorm wasn't as good. Rain and Sun have more monster support with abilities and attack. Also, there are more Ubers that can take advantage of sun or rain while not many can take advantage of sandstorm or hail. Also, kyogre and groudon are stronger and have better base stats, while the others don't.
