HGSS: New Sprites

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver has been released in Japanese! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!

…

Yay!

***WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW!***

Anyways, here's what I thought of the new sprites. Most of these opinions are true. Will indeed looks like a female, and Red hasn't changed one bit. Blue is wearing more mature clothing that his old black shirt. Blaine is now acting less like the scientist he usually is. And Sabrina's a lot more modern. Lance and Clair are epic now, and the heroine is still ridiculously stupid.

More: if you haven't heard, the Rocket Admins are now NAMED. Here they are.

Lambda (stupid, right?)
Lance (there's already another Lance)
Athena (the only girl)
Apollo (the new leader)

Apollo and Athena wear white, unlike most of the Rockets. Apollo is the final boss of Goldenrod Radio Tower. You do a double battle with Lance against Athena and a Rocket grunt. Apollo does not appear in Mahogony, but appears in Goldenrod.
