In addition, clearer screenshots and artwork of the games have also been released.</p><p>As previously shown, the PokéGear will make a reappearance in HeartGold and SoulSilver. It will feature a radio, phone, and a map to which memos can be added. The new PokéGear will be available in two colors, blue or pink, depending on the character`s gender. Other menu redesigns include a touch screen toggle for running and an additional registration for key items.</p><p>The website confirms that in the Shinto Ruins (which can be accessed after Movie Arceus is traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver), the player will be able to choose to receive a Dialga (with Metal Burst as an exclusive move), Palkia (with Hydro Pump), or Giratina (with Shadow Sneak) at level 1.</p><p>New Pokéthlon Dome minigames are also showcased in the site update. They include "Shooting Snow" (a snowball fight minigame) and "Ring-out Fight" (which has the player knocking other Pokémon out of a ring), along with six unknown slots where new minigames will be revealed later. The Pokéthlon has five types of minigames, each favoring a different stat (speed, strength, technique, endurance, or jump). Prizes can be exchanged for points earned after winning minigames.</p><p>Visit <a href="http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1470">the speculation thread</a> in the forums for more information.

I think in the movie I watched in youtube, it also showed that the PokeGear included a Globe for Wi-Fi trading. Watch it

. In the movie, it also showed that you needed to battle Dialga/Palkia/Giratina not just receive them.

@Toffeuy

You dont have to battle them, those screenshots are from pokemon platinum, showing them using the moves. you can tell because of the sprites!

That gold "globe" is the new Itemfinder, nothing more. It just looks more like an actual radar now. The blue "globe" is supposedly the radio feature.

Those screens of the dragion trio are from HGSS, they use the same text boxes as are seen in all the other HGSS screen shots with text. You are right that it is just showing them using the moves though. You have to take notice of the Wi-Fi battle icon in the top right corner before saying they are part of the in game event.

It depends on how you look at it.
