yay new infos.

- New legendaries are confirmed to be at least part Dragon-type.
- Black/White will have DSi enhancements.
- Zoroark is more or less confirmed to be keeping its japanese name for the english release, I'll take that to mean Zorua will too.

and beside things like pokemon encounter rates etc, apparently there will be a big version difference that will be revealed soon.

better be a two part story where you play through with your team and become league champion but suddenly get killed off by Giovanni but luckily you had a son who was lost and adopted but somehow came into contact with your original starter pokemon who recognises you as your master's son and pops out and egg and then you are on a journey to find out who your father is and how he died.

yeah.

something

fanfic.

Plus being able to play as more than just goodytwoshoes. Rocket Boss, **** yeah.

This.

I don't know about you, but I am quite outraged that they didn't give you the option to become the most powerful criminal on the face of the planet and rule it with your iron fist.

On the serebii site, they've confirmed them to be both dragon types but havent accounced their second typing.

So in other words, they're deffinatly dragon types.

Edit: oops. looks like i missed a page, stupid me -.-

I'd be happy with simple yes/no options for once. Character development isn't too much to ask. Rather than:

"Please help me find my ____"

*click NO*

"Oh come on, won't you please?"

*click NO*

"Oh come on, won't you please?"

*click YES*

"Thank you!"

*game continues linear path*

You know what we need to get back to?

Asshat rivals.

None of this lovey-dovey best friends bullcrap.

I want that obnoxious Gary who KNOWS he's the hottest **** in town. I want him to deride me, to taunt my progress, and to laugh at my Pokemon. I want to meet him after the Pokemon Elite 4 and beat his face in.

Then we'll become best friends afterwards

YES PLEASE

The friendly-childhood friend and professor-asssistant rivals need to GO.

I liked where they went with the rival in HG/SS though. Douchebag until after you 0wn him before the Elite Four, then he is actually friendly towards you. (yes you do get to see him again, unlike the originals)

What really sucks is that this carrot was dangled in our faces in RBY. After clearing the Nugget Bridge, we get this conversation.

"By the way, would you like to join TEAM ROCKET? We're a group dedicated to evil using POKEMON! Want to join? Are you sure? Come on, join us! I'm telling you to join! OK, you need convincing! I'll make you an offer you can't refuse!" The whole time I'm saying 'Yes! I'll join! Let me! I don't want to fiiiiiiight'

This times a billion. I want to read a town sign and see "Rival was here, Player is a loser!"

So, mix Fable 2 with Pokemon??? I'd buy it, but I doubt Nintendo would make it... They have an irrational fear of using ideas they didn't come up with...

I just want something to break the mould in terms of battling in Pokemon... Not a spin-off, but a different battle mechanic like they had when they brought in the 2vs2 battling... As much as pokefanboys would stone me for saying, I would love to use 2 or 3 of my 'lesser' pokemon at a time against a gigantic boss pokemon or something... Then again, we already have that ---> Persona, basically...)

Also, given that the theory behind pokemon is that they are in an arena, i'd love the ability to control (or at least tell it) where the pokemon runs to... Not even as complex as a full motion mechanic like a hack-n-slash, but maybe something like Grandia's style of movement (where there's set tactical positions you can tell your characters to go to get a better angle on the opponent for more damage and such)...

I want to surf on my Starmie instead of transforming into a giant blob. :C
This x1000. Same with any other kind of "Ride on <pokemon>" move.

Also how good would it be if there were a move that lets you ride your pokemon instead of some bike/vehicle, with speed based on the poke's speed stat.

fukyea riding speed deoxys.

get rid of most HMs in my opinion. There are way too many. I don't want to have a wasted slot to some garbage HM slave just because I want to move around.

Surf, Fly, Cut, and Strength is really all you need.

Bounce should have an out-of-battle effect that does this.

HMs are baaaaaad, all pokemon with the appropriate physical attributes should automatically be able to do things.

bull ****ing **** Seel can't swim until you teach it Surf. As if Scyther can't cut down trees without Cut. Onix can't move a person sized boulder without Strength? Don't make me laugh, Nintendo.

A POKEMON GAME WITHOUT HMS, AUSTRALIA SAYS YES

I mean sure, they use HMs to control the game flow, like a typical JRPG. Should have non-linearity, where if you stumble into an area you can't progress, you'll know about it. The wild pokemon will be so strong that you couldn't stand a chance. I guess this will never happen because of Pokemon's younger demographic.New-style Nintendo likes to hold little kid's hands. :\

I still want a Pokemon Toxic Purple, where you play as a Rocket member after the fall of Giovanni, with a fighting/psychic/dark/zubat starter, and are trying to become the Champion to resurrect Rocket. At the end of the game, Giovanni finds you, after all his training, and has become a god of a trainer, easily equal in skill to Red. You can either ally with him, and fight Red and Blue in a doubles match with Giovanni, or turn against him, and fight him.

Or alternatively, you play as Giovanni in a prequel story.
