i remember during my last playthrough on Crystal, my Pokémon's levels were around 55 after beating the Elite Four. However, after completing Kanto, the levels of my team Pokémon hadn't even reached 60 yet. And then there's Red, whose Pokémon were suddenly 20 levels higher than all the rest. Which I didn't mind, because it was the only battle in the whole game that was a little bit of a challenge.

The same. I just replayed Crystal, and even just using Totodile, I was barely Level 50 by the time I beat the League.
Arguing over levels is a bit silly, but these games do need a serious revamp. Hopefully the quest to get to the Cianwood Safari will be a chance to level up alot.
Ryuu's right, though, we'll be getting rebattle options anyway. I hope it's the VS Seeker.

I think it will be the phone call system with the PokéGear.

I'm hoping for both. I tried out the vs seeker in my LG, and frankly, it's great. I've never been able to appreciate it up till now.

as long as the PokeGear Phone has the same function as the VS Seeker (being able to rematch whenever you want), I'll be happy.

Levels, level, levels.. I think the levels are arranged like that just for gameplay reasons, as the game's difficulty should start low and get harder as the game progresses, not that they're like that actually (then why would he meet people with stringer teams than the Champion but who have never beaten them?). It doesn't really mean that only the starting routes have weak Pokémon, because, as has been said earlier, if that was the case, only trainers from Pallet Town or Littleroot would be succesful.

For those reasons, I think it's NECESSARY that all Kanto Pokémon (both trained and wild) be higher leveled. The thing is, Game Freak is extremely conservative in those terms (I mean, they even retained all the Kanto music instead of giving those places new themes) so they must think like "it's Kanto again, we must keep the original levels" which, gameplay wise, isn't the wisest thing to do. But if they're giving us a nice rebattling system, then I can live with that. ´Cause in the original GSC it took you ages to level one Pokémon by on level (let alone if you're sharing experience).

About the DVD, my personal opinion is that it contains previously seen footage, that's why it hasn't been leaked.

Same.

The calls won't have much a purpose if rematches are taken out. Plus, it would be pointless to include both the VS. Seeker and the Phone which serve a similar purpose.

I hope you can register all possible phone trainers instead of just 10. And if you call someone, they should occasionally say they want to battle you. In the originals, all they do is rant about their Pokémon.

"We beat a wild Bellsprout yesterday. Blah blah... Bye!"

Hey, I called you but I didn't get to say anything.

That was good, but as you said, it was only 10 trainers, and 99% of the time it was just about whatever Pokemon they failed to catch.
Emerald's system was great, but it took ages to make the Gym Leaders want to fight again, so I hope it's like that, but with the addition of a Cafe or whatever where you can fight Gym Leaders and Eusine/whoever.

It will definitely be like the Emerald phone or better, or else it would be a flaw in the game.

I just hope the levels go MUCH higher this time. Most trainers capped out at about Level 30 or so. Maybe they could organise it according to class or something, I dunno? Ace/Cool Trainers cap out at 50, Picnickers cap out at 45, etc, etc....... Cant see it happening tho.

I just hope you only recieve phone calls when they're actually ready to battle you again. Sorry, but I frankly don't care that your Hoppip almost won a battle yesterday Picnicker Liz....

Lol I was always just kind of "WTF" when I'd get all those random calls.

So long as Juggler Irwin still hits on my female trainer, I don't care what the others do. I just want the hilarity that comes with him angsting about said female trainer boarding the S.S.Aqua, or celebrating the opening of the Magnet Train because it means they'll "get to see each other more." Oh, and of course him wanting her to bring him "medicine" in bed. Yeah. That's what you want, Juggler Irwin. Sure. I believe you. Totally.

Though, rebattling'll be cool . . .

I'm staying. No point in leaving. I like knowing things and it's not like this is Harry Potter or anything.

As for the calls, rematches only or I'm blocking their number.

WHAT?! Emerald phone sucked balls! You couldn't even call from buildings.

But I agree that there should be more numbers. Though, that's kind of confirmed (it's confirmed that there will be new numbers like Oak or Kurt, so I guess that requires some more space).

I can't see how something from the original can be "a flaw in the game", though.

Ah, also speaking of Emerald Phone, I liked the "Check" option in it. But again, you couldn't check non-Trainer characters (like Mother or Mr. Stone), which sucked because I wished to see their sprites. However, it's confirmed that PokeGear doesn't have Check option.

How is only being able to call 10 people not a flaw? Especially if you can't battle some of those ten, period.

Step outside and do it?

Oak and Kurt's a nice touch. Kurt will most likely be calling to tell you your Ball is ready. More numbers is a definite, it annoyed me how in the originals there was no one important to call other than Elm or Bill (and neither of those was very interesting).

I liked that too. It's a shame it's not back.

If they have something in HGSS like the Villa in platinum I hope it's more "interactive" it was pretty boring how most of the Villa Decorations were just that, a decoration, the bed could've easily been used to heal your Pokemon but it was just an object in your way.

I suppose though we may have to until next gen for a better Villa.
