The Battle Frontier is the same as Platinum's. Same facilities, same brains.
And the Sevii islands are not in the game, only Johto and Kanto

Edit: Scyther can be caught at the Bug Catching Contest at National Park.
 
I switched the save type... and my save states were gonna im gonna have to start all over again... Oh well il just wait till the english rom comes out.
 
Thanks for answering my question about Scyther.

Another question...now that overworld sprites can be shiny, does that mean if you're SRing for a shiny legendary (think Suicune or Lugia) the overworld sprite will be shiny before you battle it?

Nope. Its shininess will only pop up during battle.
 
I can't be bothered to play legitimately any more :P

I've copied over all my Pokémon from Pearl, and I'm currently exploring. I might try taking on the E4 (with a team of EVed level 100s, it shouldn't be too hard).

By the way, apart from the known G/S Apricorn balls, there are also two other kinds (most likely unobtainable). Park Balls from D/P (when thrown, they look like Poké Balls), and another ball which has an orange top with a red Poké Ball symbol on it (a Poké Ball on a Poké Ball?). That one has slightly different colours (red, with a yellow/white symbol) when thrown in battle, but it does have its own sprite (therefore it might be obtainable). All the items from D/P/Pt are in the game, though some key items are unobtainable.

Also, there are a few unused items, such as item versions of the Apricorns.
 
Has anyone managed to locate exactly where the guy with the Red/Blue Orb is? I've heard he's on Route 27 but I've talked to everyone I can find and no results

I have the NDex and 16 badges btw, so there shouldn't be a reason why he isn't there :x

...Unless I have to get Ho-oh first or something
 
How early can I get a leaf stone? I want to use Victreebel but if I'm stuck with Weepinbel for the majority of the game I'll just use something else.

What about dusk stones? And is Honchkrow obtainable pre-National Dex? (I guess I could trade over a dusk stone if need be...).
 
Leaf Stone I'm not sure; apparently someone on Route 34 may phone you up saying she has one for you but I never did get one myself. If you get particularly unlucky you won't be able to get a Leaf Stone until you reach Kanto :x

Dusk Stone is unavailable in the game itself (pre-NDex anyway, though I haven't come across one at all yet) but if you trade one across from DPPt then you can evolve Murkrow, yeah.

You'll have to trade over a Murkrow mind (unless you can find one in the Safari but idk where they are exactly) since they're only found in Kanto otherwise
 
How hard is it exactly to play through HG/SS if you wouldnt know any Japanese?

I was considering getting it, but dont want to have too much trouble.
Or if there are any walkthrough's out for it, that would help too

You get the Red/Blue Orb from Mr. Pokemon after receiving the Kanto starter from Oak.

After Red? olawd D: Thank you

You can, HeartGold, at least. You'll want to head to a foresty area WNW of the entrance at night.

Ah, I see :o Might try it next time I play hgss

I don't know a single word of Japanese and I've gotten 16 badges and stuff just fine. As long as you can interpret attack animations, item images etc you'll be fine.

On a side note, does anyone know what conditions you need to fulfill to rearrange the Safari Zone? I still can't do it ._.
 
Wow HG/SS looks awesome! So much new stuff it feels like a whole new generation.

For anyone playing the game, does it still feel like Gold/Silver though?
 
Shaymin-S confirmed, flower girl in Goldenrod will transform Shaymin for you.

So we can finally use Skymin and Gira-O on WiFi (well between Platinum, HG and SS).

If their forms can be used over wifi, shouldn't they do something about the rotom forms?

No. I don't know how HG/SS are coded on this (though most likely the same way, since they're compatible with DPPt), but in Platinum, as soon as you connect to Wi-Fi, unless you're using an AR code to prevent it, Giratina, Rotom, and Shaymin will all revert back to their normal forms. It's hard-coded into the games--regardless of what the connection is to, as soon as you go into Wi-Fi, they'll revert.

Suppose so! Guess we'll have to wait and see, there seems to be a lot more undiscovered stuff in this game. I wonder if Steven does anything else ingame, because he appears in the Pewter Museum.

Can Red be rebattled? Maybe his team would be improved lol! Also, there is no faceshot when you battle him (unlike gym leaders, E4, etc) but the classic pokeball swipe.
 
Well Steven does give you the Hoenn starter so he actually does something (better than Crasher Wake giving you accesories or Maylene doing nothing besides saying hi). Oh and he shows you a picture of Latios / Latias too.
By the way, is it confirmed that they both are in each version or are they version exclusives?

As much as I'd like to battle Red with an even stronger team, his levels don't increase even though he can be rebattled. But even then he's the strongest trainer to appear in a game (screw you Barry).
