HeartGold & SoulSilver Official (Good-Quality) Artwork

It could just be the sun shining everything. But we will have to wait for the game to come out to find out.

Not even. The picture with Ecruteak Town has the trees behind the tower gold... and in the map it is gold as well. It did catch my attention, but I'm not sure if that's meant to be a doodad or whatnot.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hm, well maybe they had extra space so they decided to pretty it up.

[ZMaster]

I don't even know if that Golden forest behind Ecruteak is just a doodad or if it is something special... but all I see are golden blurs. But then again, I could be wrong. It looks a little fishy...

It may be a theory, but I think that golden spot is Ho-Oh eminating his golden radiance.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hm, seems possible. But I don't see any silver light from Lugia. Than again he doesn't really shine. But still, I think that is just for decoration.

[DanteKoriyu]

Those trees are gold because they are the type of tree that Ecruteak takes its Japanese name from, so I've been told.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Hm, well that explains it. I still think there might be something there though. Maybe they added some new area there.

Some pikachu-colored pichu pix:

[FLOOTENKERP]

Cool, I hope they give us some notch eared Pichu sprites. I wanna see how it looks like in battle. By the way, which scans have the pictures of Kanto the update was talking about? I can't seem to find it.

Once more:

It's not a notch.

Also, it looks like it's not gonna be in battle.
The only thing that the new site says about that event is "let's walk around Johto with Pichu."

Also, the scans do NOT have a picture of Kanto.
I dunno what coolbho3000 was looking at...
Probably inaccurate reports at other sites like serebii and bulbapedia instead of the actual source material.
Because I certainly don't see any maps of Kanto, and the word Kanto isn't mentioned at all... they're not hinting at anything as far as I can see.

You can see mt.silver and it can only be reached through kanto i think thats what he mean's or else the bit near the tojohto falls east of newbark town.

[Guested]

Yeah, but that's the path TO Mt. Silver and Indigo Plateau. The inclusion of those locations does not mean that the rest of Kanto will be there.

Personally, I do think Kanto will be included because if you look at a map of Johto compared to Sinnoh, Johto is reeeally small. However, it's still one of those things that has not been confirmed or even acknowledged.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Ah, okay. So Maybe they will still have Kanto. How would we get to Indigo Plateau? You can't just move that, because it is strictly for Kanto. Silver Cave, however, could just be accessed in a different way. I hope they keep Kanto.

[Endless Eden]

yes it is in kanto your in game map changes when you get to tojohto and you can see all of kanto they cant work around that they have to put it in.

what are they gonna do just cut the rest of kanto out? i think not.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Guested said that they could simply edit some of the map to access Indigo Plateau and Silver Cave before. It seems possible, but not a smart move if they want people to buy this game.

[Endless Eden]

Yeah there whould be uproar to such a drastic edit to the originals
