Aesthetic changes

* Lucas, Dawn, and Pearl have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has dropped in temperature.
* The template for the level, HP, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white and its shape has changed.
* The Pokétch has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the moves have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as Razor Leaf.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their Poké Balls, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since Emerald Version. Front sprites for Generation IV Pokémon and other Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex have also changed.
* When battling certain Trainers such as Gym Leaders and Pearl, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use seals when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The Eterna, Hearthome, and Veilstone Gyms have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Gym Leader closeups, just before a Gym battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS. The Elite Four now also has this but it includes the player on the left side of the VS. and the Elite Four member on the right of the VS.
* The rooms where the player battle the Elite Four have been redesigned. Aaron now has logs and foliage in his room. Bertha now has rocks in her room. Flint now contains lava pits in his room. Lucian’s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. Cynthia’s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the Hall of Fame is now partially contained. The Pokémon Center at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location ‘labels’ on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald.
* All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.

For those of you who don’t know, ChuChu Rocket originally released in the Dreamcast way back in 2000. Generally speaking, it was received well and was criticized mainly due to its online play.

Is SEGA thinking about bringing back ChuChu Rocket? SEGA USA renewed the trademark on December 22 of this year. SEGA has re-registered a number of other names for Dreamcast including Sonic Shuffle, Jet Grind Radio, and Cosmic Smash. This trademark could end up to being completely unrelated to Nintendo or even nothing at all. We hope the latter isn’t true.

It’s not so common to hear about a series of video game-related crimes that are executed in a short period of time. The Sacramento County area has been hit with five robberies at video game stores in ten days. Four of the five accounts have occurred at GameStop retailers.

Detectives have been piecing together the cases and believe the robberies may be related. At least two men have entered during the robberies and one man has been spotted with a shotgun. The robbers have been reported to be after money from both the store and customers.

You might think that – since the men have been robbing video game stores – the robbers might be interested in a few video game products as well. Oddly enough though, there have been no reports of actual video game merchandise being taken.

Pilotwings may be making a comeback on Wii based on the latest rumors. LiveWii states that a new Pilotwings game will release in the first half in 2009. Balance Board and Mii support are allegedly going to be included in the package. The last Pilotwings title released on the N64, so this would be the perfect time to revitalize the series.

Consider this a rumor for now since there is not anything conclusive that proves this is real. However, Pilotwings on Wii has been rumored to be in development for a long time and has popped up on a few retail listings.
