:Different from Platinum, or DP? Because they were different in Platinum from what they were in DP. They probably did update a lot of animations for moves, just like from DP to Platinum.

Seeing as Bulbapedia is being a big ol' bag of dicks at the moment and I can't edit anything without getting a 504, I'll just leave this here as a note in case I forget about it.
In the Trivia section, the 'A winner is you' quote links to the Wikipedia page for Yoda of Star Wars fame; it should link to the page for Pro Wrestling on the Nintendo Entertainment System, as this is where the meme originates from. {{unsigned|Tehb0ll0x}}

== How far should the notes go ==
One thing that has been on my mind for a while is how far should the notes and trivia go to avoid making this too long for the page. Minor tidbits that are not related to a general change could be removed or moved, and one thing I did was merge to similar notes together. This is the perspective I have been looking at for HeartGold and SoulSilver. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 15:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

On the article it says that Australia has had HeartGold and SoulSilver since the 25th of March 2010, right? I was walking past an Australian store with the games on an earlier date, around the 18th to the 23rd. Should it be changed? [[User:Strongriver|Strongriver]] 05:52, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
:Does that store import games?

But [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen|Firered and Leafgreen]] have a Plot section and they are also remakes. HGSS plot has a few plot changes from [[Pokemon Gold and Silver|Gold and Silver]] so this article needs a Plot section. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 16:35, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
== Type Secialist ==
Is it worth noting that this game is the first to include type specialist for all 17 types (15 different gym leaders (not including Blue), Karen (Dark), and possibly Giovanni). I say possibly because I don't know if he counts as a Ground type specialist in these games. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 01:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
== The title of the page should stay the same. ==
It has been suggested that the title of this article be renamed "Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver." I'm okay with the suggestion, but even though other territories don't use the word "version," North America does, so we should refer to them by their full North American names. Thank you.
