I highly doubt it, that would take at least over 4000 sprites to do. (600ish unique pokemon images * 4 directions * 2 for still and walk animations)

Yeah that would be pretty hard to animate a whole crap load of pokemon sprites.

It really isn't that hard. The overworld sprites are much smaller than the battle sprites, and they don't seem to mind redrawing and reanimation all of those battle sprites with each new game. Ignoring that, in the past, GameFreak themselves have already done the amount of sprite work necessary to have Pokemon overworld sprites in the Dungeon games. MasterChef's estimation is also inflated since there are only about 540, not 600, Pokemon with unique looks and they would only have to animate 3 walking directions because left and right would be exactly the same. They also have an entire art team and computers to help them. They could do it easily if they wanted to, but they probably don't.

Sad to say but true we more than likely wont see the games in NA until next year but I have seen some more pictures on bulbapedia portraying the other two starters following the trainer and other things like slowpoke well. may not be a huge fan of the graphics style but seeing the pokemon follow around the trainer definitely brings back memories

Well, the game isn't out until November in Japan, so it makes sense that we won't see this game for another year or so (Europe and Australia most likely even longer.)

i have been wanting a new GS remake. my internal battery died in silver and im to lazy to change it. i also like the idea of pokemon following you around and i think the unown puzzles are going to be really fun., and maybe the dogs will be easier to catch.

I understand my gold version did the same thing and I could never bring myself to tare appart the casing to change the battery and even after installing an emulator (just to be clear it is only legal if you own the game) on my laptop it just wasn't the same. Funny thing is I am going to get Soul Silver when it gets released in the U.S. (I guess it's time to see the differences for myself)

I hate the way the rival looks, I wish they would've changed that.

The screens and the video look adequate enough for the remake. I would've liked to see a graphics revamp of DPPt, but meh. It'll do.

A new video on the Official HGSS Website... http://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/hgss/s ... movie.html
What do you think about the graphics ?
Things to discuss
- Golden trees in Eruteak
- The gym with lava
- The Pokemon using Hms
Anything you want !

The Gym with Lava is probably Blackthorn Gym
Golden trees are probably just a really cool graphic
Probably just a new (easier) way of using HM's

Amazingly, so far I have absolutely no problem with this game. It looks like it's going to be pretty sweet.
The only thing that really got me about the 2.5 graphics is when they do those "fly bys" in the opening, where they show the game from another angle just to show that the buildings are 3D. It makes the sprites and everything else look stupid. Rrrr-!
As far as the spriting, I don't think the question is how hard it will be for them to make the sprites; it's more of how much space that many extra sprites is going to take up in the game.

We don't need a Crystal remake! If they make one, I will utterly hate Nintendo forever, okay? We don't even need a Gold & Silver remake, especially me considering I caught all 492 without cheating. The only reasons why Nintendo made them damn things are for these 3 reasons alone IMHO:
1.) The fans demanded it (which is funny considering Nintendo never listened before now).
2.) Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia and Ho-oh are WAY easier to obtain this way!
3.) Nintendo loves making money!
Okay, that is it. I demanded over and over for Nintendo to remake Gold and Silver. I will admit it! I sent them over 5 emails asking to remake the Johto region for the DS. So for those complaining that we should get a Crystal remake, SHUT THE UP! We are VERY VERY lucky that Nintendo listened enough to create HG and SS. We are truly fortunate that they took the time to listen to us and make these things. I am glad that they are doing this!
But seriously, Crystal remake? We are already getting Johto, so if a few story differences and the original female characer (which I personally like the new one better, and so does my wife) are your biggest gripes, then you are way too picky and way too demanding. Be happy that they actually listened to us for once. Get HeartGold or SoulSilver and make an effort to be content. I mean, hell I am.
-Ryan
Uh.. Nintendo could've had another reason to remake GSC because some of us Pokemon fans were either too young or were not even born during the GSC release.
