Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver - Character Names
With this update I am delighted to reveal to you the US names for a variety of aspects within the upcoming games, Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver. These may possibly change by the time of US launch, but it is highly unlikely. First, I'll cover the character names. Out of respect for those of you willing to be surprised, I've hidden them in our usual hidden box. Click the button to access the details.

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver - Item Names
In addition to the character names, I have also received the item names for the Key Items within the game. Many of these items keep the name they had in GS and so are not listed here. Again, out of respect for those of you willing to be surprised, I've hidden them in our usual hidden box. Click the button to access the details.

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver - Miscellaneous Names
Finally, we have the names and details for a variety of other aspects of the game including some new locations and features. Again, out of respect for those of you willing to be surprised, I've hidden them in our usual hidden box. Click the button to access the details.

First, the most notable aspect to note is the change of the name of the Pokéthlon (ポケスロン). Its US name is incredibly similar with the name Pokéathlon, which matches the full intent of the name being a portémanteau of Pokémon and Triathlon. Also, of note, the Technique stat in the Pokéathlon is called Skill in the US versions. In addition to this the Apricorn Shaker, used to help boost your Pokéathlon stats, creates Aprijuice.Next, are location based details. First, the Shinto Ruins (シントいせき) have been renamed in the US version to Sinjoh Ruins, keeping the original intention of the combination of the Sinnoh and Johto regions. Inside, the stage is called the Mystri Stage as opposed to the Triad Stage. It's also worth noting that you can do this event twice, once with the Arceus given away at Toys R Us last year, and once with a Hall of Origin Arceus, should one ever be given.
The Hidden Tower (うずもれのとう) in Route 47, where Groudon, Kyogre & Rayquaza dwell is now known as the Embedded Tower.
Finally, the final bit of information is in regards to the Game Corner. The Game Corner has changed in all regions outside of Japan. Instead of the slot machines, they have added a minigame called Voltorb Flip. This game is reminiscent of games such as minesweeper where you have to flip tiles and you get a variety of bonuses of multipliers (x1, x2 & x3). However, in addition to that, you may also find Voltorbs which are placed randomly in each set. You get shown how many Voltorbs are in each row and column and your task is to get the multipliers and not hit any Voltorb tiles. As you progress without hitting Voltorbs, the levels get harder, more Voltorb tiles appear and the higher coin multipliers become more abundant. If you keep hitting Voltorbs, you will end up back at the bottom level.
