Huh, Johto sure loves it's Safari Zone... it's got it's own little town in front of it. (as opposed to the town having a safari zone)

Would like to see some gym leader pics soon! But I guess by the time the next Corocoro is out we'll probably have an inevitable game leak as a whole and we'll start seeing everything.

Hopefully, they don't point a gun at you and say "if you insist" (Sorry, that was meant to be a Batman Beyond reference).

Well, as much as I am for fans trying to influence the franchise as long as it directly benefits both the series and mankind, I definitely wouldn't think that the Japanese removing the Game Corner just because of a law passed in Europe that prohibits Gambling is a good idea. I mean, not only is it not a good idea to do that in a remake, but it's been a long standing tradition in Pokemon. I mean, I can imagine the European version having it completely wiped off the map, but to not include it even in the Japanese version?

I wasn't talking about HGSS. I meant in the future.

As for the Safari Zone, Johto loves it, I love it, Seto Kaiba loves it (but that's cause he can make money off of it)

Ok. Oh, and just so we're clear, the first part of my post was directed at Ciaran.

Still, assuming that they are indeed making a Gen V like that interview by Satoshi Tajiri claims, we can assume that they can keep it in, and have the people of Europe wipe it out completely when it comes to their country to localize.

Well, there's the chance that they will utilize a Safari Zone in both Kanto and Johto. I mean, if HGSS were to use two Game Corners in the same game (one for each region), they can most certainly use two Safari Zones.

This is a good point, since there's nothing that suggests that they've cut out the second Game Corner in Celadon.

Though if they did have two GC's and SZ's, I'd like them to be different. If they have a SZ in Fuchia city, they should expand on the zoo that was already there. It'd give us variety in the Safari Zones that we would have. And if there were two Game Corners, they should make then unique so that they don't feel too similar.

Though they should just change the whole GC concept in the first place, since Europe won't get it. I still think that they should turn it into an arcade. It would serve the same purpose, but it could probably get past the EU's censors.

Since Johto's got its own Safari Zone, I have the feel that Kanto's will remain cut-out. And if it does return, maybe the map layout will be the same as it was in FRLG, only with new Pokémon (national, I suppose) added to keep it fresh. I back this upon the fact that most maps from RGBY were carried on to GSC and then again into FRLG.

According to Junichi Masuda's blog, he will be appearing on next week's Pokémon Sunday for an interview. His last appearance on the show was in April - before the games were announced.

Will he have something special to reveal in preparation for the release? If he does, it may be put on the official web site towards the end of this week.

Very few people care about having five more Pokémon available before the Elite Four. Even the Sinnoh Dex expansion, which was actually substantial, didn't warrant special attention as far as the news medium was concerned.

I don't think Hoenn will be in it, although I really hope it is.

An arcade wouldnt get past the EU censors, anything with a hint of gam(bl)ing is probably out now......

I really do hope the two SZ's a re different, being able to catch the same kinds of pokemon (Scyther, Pinsir, Tauros, Chansey) in each would be a terrific waste.

An announcement eh? Hmmm, can't imagine what.

Looking more closely, I think we need to be on the safe side and assume the worst, which is that the interview may be quite brief and will have little to do with the games. The description of the show mentions a report that was recorded at the WCS event, and since that's where Masuda was, his interview may end up being a series of questions related to his impressions from the event.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't put something like that past Masuda, considering that instead of announcing the remakes himself, he chose to talk about the Pikachu-colored Pichu in his previous Sunday appearances.

I beg to differ.

Wow...

um.

Worst case scenario: Nothing about HGSS but plenty about how he loves Pichus.
Best Case Scenario: We receive big news about something we haven't heard about yet.

It's harder to come up with best case scenarios.

Best case scenario I think will happen will be him confirming some extra area or major story feature such as a new dungeon in Cinnabar's volcano or something. I can't see Hoenn myself, that would be pushing it. Surely the memory (while much better than the Gameboy, obv) would be pushed to breaking point with the inclusion of Hoenn? Well, if you want Neo Hoenn.......

What I'd like to see is a better Dragon's Den, maybe statues, more items and trainers to fight, and (dare I say it a boss battle against the Elder. I know this is unlikely but I felt this cavern, 'devoted to the holy Dragon types' was spectacularly unimpressive in GSC.

30 minutes about how Pichu is the best Pokemon ever and Notch-Eared Pichu is his gift to mankind?

God I am so fed up with that...it can't be the PCP/NEP or Pokewalker it just cant...I sure do hope. For a while that was all we got...especially the NEP, it was over promoted.

However Junichi appearing might be him promoting the game in advance generally.Either this or we could be seeing the GTS or maybe where the legendary weather trio is located? I can't see him showing the new dex, they might though, show us any additions to it. Other things we might see (some are long shots, but nothing yet to say otherwise):

Hoenn being in game

A way of obtaining pokemon for national dex, specifically Gen III ones...maybe a pokeradar or something similar?

Sevii Islands

What happened tp Kanto Safari Zone...maybe reopened to include Gen III pokemon? You do have National Dex by then afterall either this or they reserved some Gen III pokemon for after national dex and Johto safari zone.

Contests being in somewhere

Anyway, I still think GBA games are being used for these games...no metion of it yet, so I assume you can't obtain latias/latios in game unless they are being held for an event, but it won't be for move, cause remember in the movie they were in, one died? Even if you could just pal park em in D/P/Pt and trade them over, there still should be a way of getting them in HGSS without doint that method, you shouldn't have to relay on D/P/Pt for all pokemon not in HGSS, maybe just the Gen IV ones you can't obtain anywhere else.
