Go on to giants website (http://www.skylanders.com/giants) Click on what everybody's asking and scroll to the bottom! It says it!

I'm sure it's only the re-releases that work, as they use the same chips, but different poses on the outside.
Plus, S:SA won't be able to register the new ones as they didn't exist when the game was first released

We know this already (:

Yeah the terminology get's a little confusing. Series 2 simply denotes that it is a remodel of a Skylander from Spyro's Adventure and not a new Skylander from the second set....They should have called the designation Repose/Remodel and not series 2. It will confuse multiple people. To my knowledge new Skylanders don't have any designation at all, they simply have an orange base and simply being new is their only indicator.

series 2 skylanders are like the original ones,yes,but they have different upgrades in skylanders giants.not sure if they keep their upgrades from giants when used in S:SA

But will I need series two skylanders to open series two portals or can I use original figures to do it?!

I believe you can use old figures - there doesn't appear to be any limit based on what we've seen in the videos.

Well, that's just great! Unless they make all the originals capable of everything that the remodels are, I'm going to have to go buy every single character AGAIN. That should be really fun.
UPDATE: Well, I just checked the website, and by the looks of it, they will be. What a relief!

The only thing the remodels can do that the originals can't is that they have another upgrade

except the upgrades, but I hope you're right besides that.

Old Skylanders go up to 15. New ones can reach 20

new ones max out at 15 as well but have different upgrade paths and something they are calling "wow pow"

^ Same upgrade paths, just "WOW POW" upgrade is different

Well, video game companies often change their minds on stuff before the game is released, so I'll just wait until launch to see.

What happens when you bring an original skylander into Giants and level it up, then try to bring it back into Spyro's Adventure?

^ It stays at level 10 on S:SA, but 15 on Giants

I'm sure they have the code in the game that states what the max Level up is. Spyro's Adventure is 10. Code on RFID will tell the game what figure is on the portal and what the max Level Up is for that figure. So if you use a remoulded figure from giants maxed to 15 and bring it into SSA, it will have a max Level Up of 10.

what about if they make an update on the wii that lets u bring the new 16 back to SSA?

old news people

As I said before, they won't do. Or people would just buy new figures and not bother with buying the new game.

what happens if you go under a space below a giants height with a regular skylander then turn into a giant?

Will you spawn out of it?

No.

Only the reposes will work in the old game, the data for the totally new ones is not in SSA. And the chances of them patching to allow the new ones is less than 0.1% imo... especially the Wii version because patching the Wii is notoriously difficult... and that's their "main" platform.

If they didn't patch the bugs they won't patch free new gameplay.

^I think you read what BudBud wrote wrong. He said:

If you are a regular skylander and stand under a gap too small for a giant to stand in, then put a giant on the portal, what would happen?

That won't happen because the Giants won't work in the old game which is what this thread is about... if he had asked what would happen in Giants (which this thread is not about) then I'm guessing it will just act similarly to when you try and place a dead Skylander on the portal and tell you to switch... but as I said... he didn't ask that he asked about how it would work if you put a Giant on the portal in SSA... which will either do nothing or report an error.

Will the series 2 skylanders have there wow pow upgrade on SSA if the already had got it from Skylanders Giants?

no they wont have their wowpow upgrade in SSA

nope^
