Okay, so the first details of "Pokémon Black Version" and "Pokémon White Version" have been released, including the new Pokémon Centre (http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6e/CoroCoro_BW6.jpg) , and now some things seem rather odd:

1) The PokéMart. Well, Hospitals have concourses now, so why not?
2) Look on the balcony at the upper-left, there's what looks like a globe, previously only seen in the Global Trade Station/Global Terminal.

What could this all mean? In the balcony in the HG/SS Pokémon Centres there is only 2 attendants, one for the Union Room, and another for Communication Club Colosseum. Could that last room be the two lower Wi-Fi room put into one (or just the Wi-Fi Club, if the Plaza is removed)? Could the Global Terminal be placed in Pokémon Centres now, or could they have just put the globe there to track locations of people you've battled/traded?
 
All of that sounds entirely plausible to me, especially the reallocation of the Wi-Fi Club to the same place as the other rooms.

I don't think that they would put the GT in regular pokemon centers though.
 
I actually think that pokécenter is just a special one. I think we'll still have normal pokémarts.

I do think that it's very possible that every center has its own gts however.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the GTS has been moved into the Pokémon Center, although I will be if every single PokéMart is.

I mean, I can understand having a PokéMart in the PokéCenter in small, rural towns, however in cities? It doesn't make sense.

I'd actually think that most cities would have Mart in the PokéCenter, for easy access. xD

And I wouldn't like it when the Global Terminal would've moved in to the PokéCenter.. Or maybe if it would have it's own room/floor or something.
 
I really hope they get rid of all pokemarts and just have them in the Pokecenters. Honestly, a pokemart as a building is pointless if you walk in, completely disregard the right side of the building, and just go straight to the cashier and exit. So they might as well just put the two cashiers in a Pokecenter to save time, so you're able to buy what you need after you heal your team.

Now, I wouldn't mind them keeping Pokemarts as their own separate building, so long as they vamp them up a bit. The games seem to be incorporating a 'real' style to them. We've seen roads, skyscrapers, and cars in the revealed pics. Perhaps the Pokemart would be something useful if you could have your character go to one of those racks (the ones that are pointless shelves that do nothing in the existing games) to pick out items. Say you want Pokeballs and Hyper Potions. Go to one rack, pump the number to 10 balls, and then head to a different shelf in the back of the store to gather your desired number of potions. Then, when you are finished, walk to the counter and the Pokeclerk will ring your price up then and there. Also, you wouldn't be able to walk out of the building after grabbing what you wanted. (This is obvious.)

At least THIS idea would make the marts interesting.. Right now they're a vacant building with nothing but the clerks. Add some fun to the shop system.
 
I did notice the globe and did wonder at it. It might be very possible there is a GTS in every center.
 
I am surprised no one has come up with the most plausible option
The Mart counter looks very much like a pharmacy to me
so Poke centres now may see things like potions and antidotes or maybe specialist medicines that are more effective and not available in marts

I agree with the first statement, but not so much on the second.

I'm almost positive as to why they placed a "GTC" in the Pokécenters. So that you have access to any of them in any Pokémart Hospital location.
 
In previous games an escalator/stair case brings us to another room upstairs. Now maybe the entire center is just 1 BIG room? And a GTS in each center would be more convenient for lazy people like me! XD!!

It was like that in HGSS.
 
I like Poke Center and Mart to be in the same building. It looks awsome. I think the Globe is for Wi-Fi purposes. I like to see the GTS building and see all the lights and gadgets and chiz on them.
 
One-stop Shop.

Makes it easier to put everything in one place, does it not?

And if we are indeed looking at something futuristic, it makes sense to have Global WiFi in every center, based on our time.

I wouldn't mind having a GTS available anywhere. Honestly, the few times that I've used it, I didn't much like the fact that it was only in one town.

And it makes even less sense that it's only in one town in HG/SS, with two regions.
 
Did anyone notice how cool the Pokeceter/Mart/whatever thinglooks from the outside? It looks way different. And way cooler.
 
I love the new look of the center mart... thing.
Its just... just... THIS DANG COLORLESS CITY! It looks so out of place!
 
OR! or, it could be the pokemon leauge. You DO know that they have marts and centers in the same room there right?
