'''Update:''' Pokémon Sunday has aired, revealing multiple aspects. First, there are new {{bp|Ken Sugimori|Sugimori}} artwork for the {{bp|Starter Pokémon#Johto|starters}} {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}. In addition, a short video of "gameplay" was shown (screenshot on the left) with overworld sprites of {{bp|Gold}} and {{bp|Silver}}, with the selected starter, {{bp|Chikorita}}, walking behind Gold. There appear to be {{m|Tailwind|wind currents}} as well. | |||
