This week is going by pretty fast, don’t you think? I hope it’s all going well for you guys, as things have been pretty smooth over here. I can’t wait until the weekend…I have plenty of games I need to get some time with! Let’s just hope that Thursday goes off without a hitch. I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours. Have a great morning, all! Our friends at Nintendo are so nice to us…so very, very nice. They’ve decided to bestow upon us the first, North American reveal of the Johto region for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver! I can’t even tell you how excited I am to bring this to you guys and gals. Sure, some of you have seen this info from following the Japanese coverage a few months back, but now you get to see what it’ll be like when you pick up your copy! What exactly do we have for you? How about a map of the Johto region, a look at Team Rocket, and some artwork for the Pokeathlon! I think these are all things you’ll thoroughly enjoy. Enough yapping from me…get to the goodies below! Thanks again to our friends at Nintendo for providing us with these assets. We all truly appreciate it! · Johto Region - Your journey begins in New Bark Town, a small town that also happens to be the home of Professor Elm. When Professor Elm asks you to carry out an important task for him, little do you know that it’s the start of an amazing adventure that will take you to all corners of Johto! You’ll encounter experienced Gym Leaders, incredible locales, scores of Pokémon, and, of course, Team Rocket along the way! · Team Rocket - The nefarious Team Rocket is back! Three years after causing all kinds of trouble in Kanto in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions, the unruly organization has moved to the Johto region to continue their criminal ways! It’s evident that Team Rocket is treating Pokémon terribly and using Pokémon to help carry out their illegal deeds. But what is their ultimate goal? You’ll discover their true secrets as you play Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions! · Pokéathlon -The all-new Pokéathlon gives you yet another way for your Pokémon to compete! The Pokéathlon is a series of events that measure the Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump abilities of your Pokémon. Most of the Pokéathlon events use the stylus in some way. You’ll need to have sharp wits and a quick hand to succeed in the events!Participate in the events by choosing three suitable Pokémon for each course. Depending on how well you do, you can earn Athlete Points, which can be exchanged for items!
