The role of Kanto in Heart Gold and Soul Silver will definitely be bigger map wise, as it is on the DS and Johto wasn't it's intended size to begin with. There will be welcome changes as with any Pokémon remake, such as Mt. Silver being in there, making it where the path to the league is different with trainers instead of the officers along the way. The Kanto routes will have reasonable re-do's, as we have already seen since Kanto was confirmed, with Mt. Silver being appropriately above the league, pushing the road down. The games look creative, so expect more changes as the makers move on. Some speculation will be redundant when the games come out, and the run-up to the games' announcement, which is now locked, was already rather argumentative. Things can get out of hand, you see. It is a short period before release, and so can someone close this thread? Let's discuss on confirmed on confirmed stuff and be happy. Thanks.
