Actually, how would it, as in Crystal you can't get past Suicine to get up the stairs anyway?
Fight Suicine, then Ho-oh.
Not only would that be unusual (they were encountered on separate occasions in Crystal, and for good reason), it would also assume that the required conditions for both events had been fulfilled. It could be possible to get the Rainbow Wing without doing whatever it is that unlocks the Suicune battle; in that case, Suicune would be battled last and consequently perceived as more important. At any rate, that is what would happen in HeartGold if Suicune really were found in the Tin Tower.

Above all, I don't think the Tin Tower should be prioritized over the Whirl Islands in SoulSilver. It was only excusable in Crystal, where Lugia was not the mascot. While it is true that Suicune is connected to Ho-Oh and not to Lugia, focusing on its relationship with Unown instead would be a good way to avoid having Ho-Oh be more relevant than Lugia even in SoulSilver.

Also, the Route where Gold is biking... It has Kanto trees but looks completely unfamiliar. I'm afraid that one of Kanto routes will get design-raped.
In the last trailer, I noticed an extra ledge in Route 1. Go look at any of the previous Generations' Route 1 maps and look at the ledge in the trailer - it's on both sides of the sign now.

I don't really get what you mean about Tin Tower, but I'll let it go.
I agree about the Whirl Islands, though - there was no reason to go there in GSC unless you knew about Lugia. And it took me ages. If going there was part of the story, that would be great.

I hate sleeping.

Okay, so we got Falker's gym, a talk with a rocket, some Random guy at the well, the inside of the radio tower (yes) a new route, suicune on a ledge somewhere, Jasmine's sprite (sweetness) and it turns out that that those trees we've seen since practically the first day are the headbutt trees. How the heck did we never see that? They are the same shape!

But yeah, that video was great. Glad we got to see it. New info. Oh yeah.

I assumed they'd be headbutt trees. D:

And I loved the fact that they were the same shape as the original Headbutt Trees. I love the Johtoness of 'em. :D

So the headbutt trees are in the games at all because before that they were believed to be replaced by the honey trees. Also I love that sceenshot with Jasmine in it. I hope that by next week or so we get to see the Gym Leaders and Elite Four artwork. We probably will not get to see who the Froniter Brains are until the week of their release.

Is there anyone other than me who doesnt like Jasmine's sprite?

Not cause I'm a pervy fanboy or something, the actual art is fine, it's just the pose of the sprite and the way it moves. It reminds me of games like Shinygold where there'd be distortion where the person had edited. Not knocking those games, just saying, her animation looks badly done.

Now is the time to sleep, in about 17 days
YOU WILL NOT SLEEP

The videos were nice. I'm more excited to see what the next CoroCoro brings.

Actually some time ago I speculated that may be all common trees would be headbuttable. And I recall not being the only one, so it was not much of a surprise, but instead a sweet confirmation.

Anyways, the trailers were really nice. And I have to say I liked better Jasmine's white dress, though she's still as aweet as always.

How can we be sure Suicune was seen in Cerulean's Cape? The place sure resembles it, but since we've seen lots of changes, that could be any other (old or new) place, be it Johto or Kanto. But if it really is Cerulean, or any place in Kanto, then we've finally got a decent Kanto subplot. After all, Heathran was in Stark Mountain in DPPt. I'm waiting for more on that topic.

I don't like Jasmine's new outfit, it looks too fanservicey and I don't like the red-green combination.

Yay for everything else and the Suicune subplot being continued! I'm hoping it will be in the Sevii Islands. Does this means Red's canon starter is Charmander? But the official RBGY artwork with Leaf/Blue and Green says so other wise. (In the pic, Red has Bulbasaur, Leaf/Blue has Squirtle, and Green has Charmander.)

Heatbutt trees are cool, LOVE Falkner's gym<3 Comment on everything else later, holy shit 15 days left ajdflasdfjs!!!

How am I going to sit through school when I know that every minute some new leak could spread across the internet and I have no chance of knowing about it?

Same.

And this year, the stupid friggin facility made a stupid rule that cellphones can't be used during school hours and the computers can't be used for anything non-school work. D:

I'll spend my time in study hall rambling on notebook paper rather than doing my actual important essays and assignments. Aren't I a good student?

It sucks my school stupid Websense program blocks off Bulbagarden and Youtube. I could hack around it I suppose but I'd just get caught again.
