Except they added 8 more badges for you to collect, well not really but at the Battle Frontier there are like 8 badges you can get for beating each of the areas. The new gym leader is Adan or Adam (translation), and replaces Wallace, who is now the league champion. And steven is off screwing around in battle frontier or if not we have no idea where he is. Sudowoodo and Smeargle are availabel as well as ditto. Plus they have some of the missing R/S secret base in the battle frontier...It's going to be fun to play...
