Pokémon Black and White (WARNING: SPOILERS)

[flyinfilipino]

... ok, I still can't understand what the hell this guy is saying

I think he's posting some random Japanese to try to make it look like a "real" Pokemon Co. official is endorsing the page. Maybe. Still, our combined efforts seem to have encouraged other people to speak out against him.

We know a little bit about the 3 on 3 duel system. Does anyone know for certain if switching around characters would be do-able?

Why didn't I see the technology vs. nature theme sooner?

I'm pretty sure there was a tidbit somewhere that said that you can switch around the positions of your Pokemon during a battle, but I don't think it elaborated much more on that.

EDIT: Ninjask'd!

Also, long time no see, Tyfighter?

Life has brought me limes, for some reason.

I might want to direct attention to another topic that may or may not be included in future games. We saw the different orbs for Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, as they attributed certain boosts for certain attacks. Now, what if individual items started popping up for other pokemon, and to what degree? If certain pokemon don't get evos, will they get indiv. items? Though if GF were to include this, I'm sure they would keep a very tight hold on the effect of these. We don't want to see any game-changing stat boosters. (Sweeping Corsola anyone?)

~celebi~ are an hero!

Don't even go there!
jk you can do with what you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.

You mean like the Light Ball for Pikachu? I hope more items come out like that to help out weaker Pokemon. A "Light Ball" for Corsola would be awesome.

And it looks like the dude on Facebook has given up. Apparently, "The Pokemon Co." has appointed two fans of the page to be the administrators.

 

[Fuelbi]

Looooool

Sucks I can't comment anymore though, because the guy blocked me and the comment button dissappeared XD

And whoo hoo, I'm a hero :D

 

[UberMario]

I wish someone would e-mail GameFreak and notify of them of this wolf in sheep's clothing. >_>

Surely the ACTUAL Pokemon Co could convince the Facebook admins by personal message to delete the page due to violations.

That fake 'leaker' finally got what he derseved, kind of like 'TheAlmightyGoat' back in the day? Thumbs up if you remember : )

Sort of.
We've already seen a form of that, but it has been in very limited use. Marowak has the bone, Farfetch'd has the leak, Pikachu has the light ball, but we could see more. Maybe instead of evolutions, we see personal items for specific pokemon. The effects could also be interesting, whether it varies on direct stat boosts, attack type, or other factors.

The challenge would be to make it effective, but not overpowering. I'll give you an example, but in terms of an evolution: Dusknoir. Dusclops was already a good pokemon, good defense, made to be a tank, but all of a sudden, Dusknoir showed up, and came in all "lol guys base 135 def. and sp. def.". Now I like Dusknoir's addition, but it seemed a bit much. I hope that kind of addition/feeling when individual items are in play are avoided, though I wouldn't mind a special sweeping Venomoth on my team.

 

[LeviNifty]

I wonder what the other version exclusives will be like, I reckon an interesting idea would be pokemon like nidoran and volbeat that will have one version getting the male version and one getting the female version =p

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Yes... Unfortunate Implications, I'm afraid.

Still, we get two awesome games in exchange. Totally worth it.

 

[PowerBomb]

Pokemon black and white is racist!


The white people will buy the white and the black people will buy the black

Really?

No, considering it's based more on Yin/Yang junk.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Lol who cares if the goth girl is a Black exclusive.

Zekrom > Reshiram any day of the week.

White version all the way.

EDIT: @Adolf I'm black and I'm getting White version solely for Zekrom... So yeah.

 

[Godbrother11225]

no it is not

[RuNNing Riot]

Yes. Reshiram is the White Yin Pokemon and vice verse for Zekrom.

Also, try not to double post. >_>

 

[CRASHiC]

Its not yin and yang we know the story now and we know its not that.

 

[Clownbot]

Its not yin and yang we know the story now and we know its not that.

Wait, we do?

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

Ok, srsly, everyone cool your jets!
Black and White does not represent good vs evil and certainly does not represent race.

It is the representation of the innocence of nature and the dangers of technology.
(or the separation of pokemon and humans, making the world black and white, dull)

 

[CRASHiC]

N wants to seperate Pokemon from humans. He wants to seperate them to the level that the Pokemon world and the human world become like Black and White.

 

[Clownbot]

Oh, that. Yeah, I'm aware of that, but that doesn't disprove that yin and yang will take a part in the story. After all, Zekrom and Reshiram's classifications are the Black Yin pokemon and the White Yang pokemon, respectively.

 

[Z'zgashi]

IMO its a combination of both

 

[CRASHiC]

"IMO" is such a weird abbreviation. I mean, I always imagined it was suppose to be used this way:

Imo **** you up man. IMO bad mother ****er. Imo get laid tonight.

 

[Z'zgashi]

actually i use 'imma' for that >.>

Was this not my concept for Pokemon Rust? Man, I seemed to nail a lot of the B/W concepts way back.

yeah, I know how ya feel XD

I remember when I was eight, and I COMPLETELY called out D/P

I said "the new games are probably gonna be diamond and pearl. Prolly something like life and death or time and space."

when it came out, I was like "WHO F*CKING CALLED IT!"

I get Diamond, but what made you think Pearl?

 

[Charmander]

I get Diamond, but what made you think Pearl?

well, the words "diamonds" and "pearls" are often used together, so thats all i could think of XD

I thought the third one would be opal, and that would have made sense too >.<

 

[Fuelbi]

Naw, I actually called out Platinum sorta. I had that on the list of possible names for gen 4, but it turned out to be the 3rd game, which counts... I think

 

[XACE-K]

Well good for you Spire & Charmander. Here's a cookie.

Spoiler

Btw, I sorta predicted Zororark. I thought there would be a dark type wolf pokemon but instead, we got a dark fox. Close enough for me.

Also how many pokemon does everyone think will be in next month's CoroCoro? Serebii & Pokebeach say there will be a lot of new ones so I'm gonna guess somewhere in the 10-20 range.

 

[Fuelbi]

I remember in the old gen 5 thread, a couple of people (including me) actually called out Black and White XD

 

[Charmander]

I think around 8-13, "a lot" isnt exactly too much, haha

 

[Chill]

I like how everyone considers themselves a sage after a games release.

I predicted that the Pokemon Movies would gradually decline in value over the years.

I'm amazing.

Seriously though, I have a B/W Question. After they come out in japan, are they added to Shoddy, or does Smogon wait until NA release? Going to be interesting to see a gen release, I've never been this into it before.

 

[M.K]

Serebii himself implied on the forums that he considers 7 "alot" of new Pokemon, which means when he says "alot" are going to be in the August CoroCoro, he implies another batch of 7-8.

I am a sage of the vodorack. You must cross the great wall, Spire and Firus, for the sake of the land we all depend on.

 

[majora_787]

But when the magazine says it'll be a big batch, their NORMAL batches are 7 pokemon. I'd say between 10 and 15 pokemon.

 

[M.K]

It implied massive amounts of information, not Pokemon.
We may not get any new Pokemon, but a detailed storyline, map, or possibly the evil team.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I slightly called Woogeru, so I'm a sage. Obviously.

Anyways, if what Serebii says is true then that's good. We'd be gettng a total of like 20+ Pokemon before Black and White storm Japan. Hopefully CoroCoro will reveal Pokemon as well as extras such as the plot, map or antagonists mentioned above.

 

[majora_787]

The article said there'd be pokemon, so you have no idea how unbelievably disappointed that would make people if there were absolutely none.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

The picture on Serebii's news - there's like an actual word bubble from the character, rather than the text boxes of the past.

That's a tiny change that I like.

 

[Steelia]

black gets the goth, woohoo

I was going to get Black because I know my three other siblings will PROBABLY get White thanks to Zekrom... so when I heard the gothic Pkmn was going to be in Black, that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Dark design, AND Psychic, awesome.
Just need to see what other exclusives there are, but this one really takes the cake for me.

Humm... To think, we could already be 1/6, 1/5, or even 1/4 of the way through our Pkmn reveals... There've been, what, just over 25 now? (Including the ones from the videos that we don't have info for, like that Nosepass-colored creature.)
Going to be interesting to see where this goes.

The Official Black and White Website has posted a very short video concerning the C Gear.

Also be ready for some awesomeness tonight with Pokemon Sunday, they are sure to show some great footage of the Pokemon revealed last week.
