Remember Falkner’s Pokemon know Mud Slap, which is a Ground Type Move, so your best starter choice is either Totodile or Cyndaquil for this battle. Although the games won’t be hitting stateside for another few months, this should help those of you curious about importing or who like to plan well in advance.Īs you can see, Falkner still sports the same Pokemon, but at a much higher level. Even better, we’ve also included a list of what Pokemon they had way back on the old Game Boy/Game Boy Colour for you to compare and contrast. This marks the first return to Johto in nine or ten years (depending on which side of the Pacific you are on.) To commemorate the remakes of the most beloved generation of Pokemon games so far, we’ve provided you with a list of all eight Johto Gym leaders and what Pokemon you’ll face when you challenge them. On September 12th, 2009, Game Freak and Nintendo released Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver.
