I think that they should have used the Latin names for gold and silver this time around, you know Au and Ag.

Why? doesn't make any sense to me...

@LeseMajeste: No, they only use just the name of the material the first time they make the games. Upon remake, they add another word. Like Fire Red and Leaf Green. That appears to be the pattern anyways.

Also, Au and Ag are the symbols for those elements on the Periodic Table, not because that's what it's called in latin.

Yes, but the symbols are based off of their Latin names, which I believe are Aurum and Argentum, respectively. Sorry if I sound like a smart #$%. As shown earlier in this thread, I am linguistically inclined. I probably could know a lot of languages if I bothered to study. Maybe I should give Rosetta Stone a try?

Again, I don't mean to come off as a know-it-all. I just like passing on relevant information in a conversation.

Dude - no one really minds that at all. The only thing we hate here are idiots who deserve the DUMB stamp.

Also, does anyone know if we can trade with d/p/pt anytime, or will there be an event like in FR/LG?

I'm betting because of the differences in Pokemon that there probably will be an event like the Ruby and Sapphire Plates in FRLG. I don't have any evidence, though. I'm just basing that off of Nintendo's track record of weird version compatibility rules.

It's a good theory that I also believe; I just wanted to know of any proof. Oh, well.

I've heard an unconfirmed rumor that a beta of heart gold has been released, and is floating somewhere on the internet. However, whenever I look for it, it just brings me to Shiny Gold Beta 5, which is the current beta for the hack. If anyone can find the beta for heart gold, please tell me. I would REALLY like to see what the game has to offer.

??? That’s an old article with no new info and some unconfirmed or debunked rumors, why you posting it now?

Odd...When I read it a while back, it had said that the kanto segment had been confirmed...Looks like I either misread it or they changed it...

I don't know WHAT is going on, but something's wrong with my internet. Hopefully this gets out correctly this time.

This website has ALL the information on HG SS.

Thank you for that information.

I'm really looking forward to exploring Johto again. One thing I don't understand is the character design for the female character. What was wrong with "Crystal"? Anyway, it's a ways away yet, so I don't want to get too excited!

What´s strange is the time capsule. Will it be the new "pal park" or will it not even be there?

The whole point to the game is to allow DSi owners access to previous generation Pokemon. I doubt there will be a Pal-Park at all considering it requires a GBA port.

Still, we can hope they will be nice and let those with ds lites a way to transfer. And if they don´t, what will it be?

I doubt there will be any way to transfer Pokemon from previous generations (other than Pal-Park in D/P/Pt and then wi-fi trade). Nintendo has no reason to keep backwards compatibility and being 'nice' doesn't earn money.

But STILL, WHAT WILL IT BE?
