Thanks Valentine the visuals, new pokemon, the new tm system, i like the storyline better and not to mention i love the female trainer's trukergirl look I do not have my DS with me at the moment. Give me a couple of days/week or so and I'll PM you with my various pal card numbers. The pokemon i really wanted were Chimchar, Mudkip, Treeko, Dratin, and bagon.Ĭool, I may be able to give you a Bagon too. What else do you want? I'd gladly help out. I've pretty much got my line-ups and all I'll need to do now is train them. That's fine, I'm not really looking for anything in particular, just curious.
Male, I want more, but i don't really have anything to offer. Is it male or female?Īnything else you want? Anything else you have to offer? Yes, i would agree with these stuff too Valentine Valentine can keep Mareep. Rather than reusing a character from Pokémon Red & Blue, Karen could have been brought in as a late replacement and her design used Lorelei's pose as a base.Valentine the visuals, new pokemon, the new tm system, i like the storyline better and not to mention i love the female trainer's trukergirl look Pokémon Gold & Silver lacked any major Dark-type trainers, even though the typing was introduced in those games. One of these poses is very interesting, as it's almost identical to the one used by Karen in the final version of Pokémon Gold & Silver. It's possible that Lorelei was intended to be the final member of the Elite Four, but she was replaced by Karen at some point in development. There are several different unused sprites for Lorelei, all of which use different poses. It seems that Lorelei was seriously planned for a return to the Elite Four. In the later builds, she was brought back with an entirely new sprite. Agatha could be encountered in the Space World '97 demo of Pokémon Gold & Silver, but she had no trainer data. In the later builds of Pokémon Gold & Silver, it seemed that there was an effort to bring back the original Elite Four. Giovanni was planned to appear in Pokémon Gold & Silver during development (his overworld sprite can be found in the Radio Tower), but it's not 100% certain that he would have been a member of the Elite Four. As such, many fans believe that this was a result of a mix-up. The last member of the Elite Four has been called into question, but Giovanni is listed as a member of the team in the internal files of Pokémon Gold & Silver. He is referred to as an Elite Four member, but he isn't placed next to the others in the internal listing. When Johto was turned into a region and Kanto was expanded, Misty had a role as a Gym Leader once more.īruno is the only consistent member of the Elite Four throughout each build of the game, even though he was the easiest one to take down in Pokémon Red & Blue. Lorelei remained part of the group for a few more revisions and was a serious contender to remain in the game, but she was eventually replaced by someone else. As such, the player wasn't originally going to be able to return to Cerulean City. The original plan for Pokémon Gold & Silver was for the player to travel all of Japan and for Kanto to be reduced to a single city. Misty's inclusion in the Elite Four can be explained by the fact that the Kanto region wasn't intended to be a major part of the game. According to the internal data, the Elite Four consisted of Misty, Bruno, Lorelei, and Giovanni. The Space World '97 demo of Pokémon Gold & Silver had a radically different line-up for the Elite Four than the one from the final version of the game. Version 1 - Misty, Bruno, Lorelei, Giovanni(?) Related: A New Leak Of Pokémon Gold & Silver From '97 With Unused Pokémon Has Appeared Online The Elite Four gradually changed over the development of Pokémon Gold & Silver, with only one familiar face remaining in the line-up the whole time. These demos contained sprites for a number of unused characters & Pokémon, as well as early renditions of familiar faces. Since then, a number of early development builds of Pokémon Gold & Silver have been uploaded to the Internet. In 2018, an early demo build of Pokémon Gold & Silver that was exhibited at Space World '97 leaked online, revealing a very different vision of the game. One of the mysteries that has cropped about the Johto region involves Game Freak's original plans for the Elite Four, as the line-up went through different revisions over the course of several years. A lot of information has leaked about the development of Pokémon Gold & Silverover the past two years and it's clear that the game went through a number of iterations before the creators were happy with the final product.
