Legendary Pokemon have bigger sprites than usual because of their importance.

I'm currently playing Pokemon Gold. I'm going to using Golem, Ferlarigator, Fearrow, Piloswine, Magneton, and umbreon. I can't wait untill I beat Red.
Theese are a few ideas I would hope to see in Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver: Pokemon Contest over wifi, the ability to battle without friend codes, a wifi plazza that is just like the wifi club, sinnoh pokemon on a new island, and the ability to host tourtaments over regular gameplay.

Cuz IMO, the anime hijacked Pokemon by making it's mascot Pikachu. If it wasn't for the anime, then Clefairy would be the mascot, and we would have a Clefairy-colored-Cleffa and a notched-ear-Cleffa.
Wow, that's even worse...
The anime didn't necessarily "hijack" pokemon, its only purpose is to advertise the game. The only reason Pikachu is the mascot is because its cute, which is apparently something the Japanese likes. Why do you think we've been annoyed to death by Piplup throughout all of the Sinnoh arc?
Fortunately, the Japanese aren't those "some people".

Yeah, but Steelix isn't God. And it's supposed to be around 30 feet long. So you're saying that all humans in the Pokemon world are around 30 feet tall?

You're really going to try this, in a franchise where the human characters are represented outside of battle as impossibly squat and short, deformed and only vaguely humanoid sprites?
Come on.

I'm saying get practical and get a grip. If they were to scale, how would you lug a wailord or steelix or snorlax or groudon around? Make up whatever you want, but please, make sure you use your common sense when you do.

Diamond, Pearl and Platinum can all get both Arceus and Pikachu-colored Pichu
The Pichu event is actually just a shiny one, if I can remember.
Shaymin? Mew? Celebi? Jirachi?

An interesting point brought up on 2ch lol ^^ This kind of ties into the whole "using Sinnoh music" thing:
Tohjo falls come from the name Kanto (カントー) and Johto (ジョウト) Tohjo (トージョウ)
Now for this new area we have Shinto ruins
Sinnoh (Japanese is Shin'ou - シンオウ) + Johto (ジョウト) Shinto (シント)
Guess there is a slight connection lol ^^

I'm very glad to have met you. I never made those connections before. Maybe that brilliant expanse behind Mt Mortar will have a use?
Actually, no.
Arceus was originally obtainable atop the peak of Mt. Coronet. It's only natural to use the same theme.

Which doesn't necessarily preclude the proposed etymology from being accurate. The only thing is that ostensibly, Tohjo Falls was named such because it was right on the Kanto-Johto border. Based on the maps of the Pokémon world we have, Johto and Sinnoh can't actually share a border.
Yes. Particularly, the definition and thinking behind the concept of Legendary Pokémon is based on the Shinto religion's concept of kami, or creatures that are divine and revered but not god-like in the Western definition.

Very interesting. The people at 2ch seem to be pretty damn good analyzers, they're constantly figuring stuff out.
I think it was more so a reference to the fact that Sinnoh is the last region we have, not that they share a boundary of some sort. (which, like you said, is impossible)

Yep. Shinto (神道) is the name ascribed to the non-Buddhist religious practices of Japan. Notice in the anime (no, not Pokémon), there are a lot of Shinto temples.
