Pokémon Black and White (WARNING: SPOILERS)

[CRASHiC]

If You First can be used on your allies, I now see a point in it's purpose.

Wow, that's genious.

 

[IsmaR]

*genius

I'm thinking Nitro Charge will be like a stronger version of Flame Wheel, but without the recoil of Flare Blitz, possibly with some wacky added secondary effect. Pokabu's probably gonna be the first Fire starter who can't learn Fire Punch, lol.

 

[M.K]

I thought Nitro Charge was confirmed to raise your speed? Whether it's an attack or a status move, it's clear that Pokabu might have something in common with something that heats up to speed up (a locomotive, an engine)

 

[UberMario]

watch you first be a crappy version of me first.

Well here's how I see it, if pokemon A uses You First on pokemon B. Pokemon B can use a slow attack right from the get-go without wasting a turn using "Me First".

 

[PowerBomb]

If Whirlwind affected two Pokemon at once, I could see You First + Whirlwind being extremely ridiculous.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Triple battles with You First + Whirlwind + Spikes/SR = lol

 

[Pluvia]

(You First Pokemon), Shuckle, (Follow Me Pokemon):

FM Poke used Follow Me!
YF Poke used Protect!
(Their Pokes do something!)
Shuckle used Power Trick!

YF Poke used You First on Shuckle!
Shuckle used Rock Slide!

Edit:

Also, Telekenisis on Heatproof Bronzong teamate.

 

[PowerBomb]

Maybe triple and double battles will have even more depth now... it would certainly give me incentive to try them (and once again, doubles).

Do you guys think they will change the way entry hazards work? Like Stealth Rock, for example, such as weakening it a bit? It would make Charizard... uh, a bit more viable, I guess.

Doubt it, but I wish they would.

Also Moltres says hi.

So does Articuno.

I thought Nitro Charge was confirmed to raise your speed?

This move has not been confirmed to raise the user's speed. We know only a little bit of info on this and other starters' moves. Only the amount of PP (20) and attribute (fire) are confirmed.

Whether it's an attack or a status move, it's clear that Pokabu might have something in common with something that heats up to speed up (a locomotive, an engine)

Although this hasn't been confirmed by Serebii, we can infer that Nitro Charge is an attacking move, based on the quote from the Sunday Update: "It appears this move will be on Pokabu in a similar manner to Grass Mixer on Tsutaja and Shell Blade being on Mijumaru." And according to the description of Grass Mixer from Serebii, it states: "This attack appears to do significant damage."

So I'm almost certain that these are all attacks with secondary effects. However, we have no idea what these kinds of effects are, but I have some ideas.

Nitro Charge: Chance of raising the user's speed by one level. (Nitro implies speed)
Shell Blade: High critical hit ratio. (Most slashing and blade moves have this effect)
Grass Mixer: Slight chance of inducing sleep or paralyzing the foe. (This one I'm least certain. When I think of this move, I think of the grass type moves Stun Spore and Sleep Powder. Why not have a move with a mixture of these grass moves. Eh?)

 

[Charmander]

Nitro charge = flame wheel
Grass mixer = leaf storm

First off, without any entry hazards, or weakened hazards, I still think Artiucno wouldn't be that strong. (I love Articuno, by the way. Like... top 20?)

Anyways, the new moves look pretty amazing. Shell Blade is obviously the best if it's Water and has like 80 damage or so. Grass Mixer sounds nice too, but the Nitro Charge really dissapoints.

Are you saying that because both of the names seem eerily the same, or that both attacks will have the same effect as the previous attacks. (Most likely the first response)

< Serious poster is seriously posting serious.

Do you have pics? I know Serebii only has that Pokabu pic, but that's all I know. It seems that Nitro Charge might not be good, seeing as Baycon will probably be TOO SLOW , but unless we know all of the details, we just don't know if it's a good or bad move.

 

[Charmander]

neither, its just that the animations of these attacks look EXACTLY like the moves i said.

Where's the pic for Grass Mixer?

P.S: I suck

I need to specify better. They look good on paper, but the problem is they have room to be flawed. Sorry I write weird sometimes.

I'm not sure but it might be this @ 0:20: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf83RqrBcZ0

 

[Fuelbi]

Wow, they've already started the countdown for B/W.... wow XD

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Wow, they've already started the countdown for B/W.... wow XD

I'm glad. B/W is the best since Gen2, I'm so excited.

Zekrom all the way baby.

Can't wait to do Co-op events with my gf on these games XD

 

[Fuelbi]

When will I find a woman who won't think that pokemon is for gay queers who still haven't grown out of their childhood phase yet?

Man, but do we seriously still have like 59 days left? I suppose this would be for the ***. release right?

And I have a question to those who actually were around for the upcoming gen 4. Does Shoddy update the system with the new pokemon when the japanese release comes or do they wait for the American release as well?

 

[RuNNing Riot]

When will I find a woman who won't think that pokemon is for gay queers who still haven't grown out of their childhood phase yet?

Well, you are talking to someone who has a girlfriend who plays Pokemon. Plus, you met a girl on MW2 earlier today so the idea of Pokemon still seems fairly tame compared to that, right?

 

[Fuelbi]

I said find a woman. I still have not found Shimazu's girlfriend, so that doesn't count.

But MW2 and Pokemon is different. I mean, all teh cool guys play MW2 while we're stuck with the stereotype that Pokemon is for queers.

Of course a couple of ladies are gonna be on MW2. Plus, I bet you they like the attention they get everytime they join a lobby. Didn't you see how crazy the guys got when they heard a female gamer?

 

[UberMario]

It's not queer to like pokemon when you're older, there's a whole bunch of guys at the College I go to that got HG/SS on release and were playing against each other in a music lab (when there were no classes at that time) and I know a girl who brought SoulSilver for EVERY COLLEGE DAY for the second-half of the semester.

 

[M.K]

Agreed, my best friend loves Pokemon and she's a woman. Obviously it exists.
But back on topic, I'm really not digging this news drought. After having such a steady release of information, I can feel the Black/White-focused part of my brain exploding everywhere in anticipation.

 

[UberMario]

Part of the issue is Pokebeach is down (and that was a major source).

 

[O D I N]

You take that back! Pokemon is awesome.

a lot of the competitive people get the Japanese versions, so maybe Shoddy will update with new stuff a little before the other releases.

and the first three letters of "Japanese" are censored? wow

 

[Z'zgashi]

***

wow your right that's way weird, but ON TOPIC i bet they will update shoddy as its most likely used by those in Japan as well

 

[M.K]

That's a derogatory term for Asian people living on the islands, originating in WW2 times.
It would be best to abbreviate as "JPN" instead.

 

[Charmander]

when you are like me

I hang out with "the nerds" so I know a lot of these people

 

[Spire]

Guys, take this casual talk to your snorlax room. Please keep this Black/White only.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Im hoping for the new guy like Dragonite/Tyranitar/Salamence/Garchomp to be a Dragon/Fighting type, that would be way epic

 

[O D I N]

Pokemon needs more Dragons. And Shadow/Ghost. My opinion anyway.

It's part of why I love Giratina so much. Both of my favorite types in one package. Shame she's an Uber though. :-/

 

[Z'zgashi]

I predict a Bug/Rock type will be introduced (now watch me be wrong)

 

[Spire]

Im hoping for the new guy like Dragonite/Tyranitar/Salamence/Garchomp to be a Dragon/Fighting type, that would be way epic

It seems like Kibago (

) may be the new Dratini/Larvitar/Bagon/Gible.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I actually thought that as well, but what would his typing be i wonder...? Imma guess Dragon/Dark

 

[M.K]

Rock/Dragon?
That's my proposal. He just has that strange "I'm able to throw rocks" look to him.
Of course, since Kibago is pure dragon, it's up to his evolutions to evolve into the second attribute.

 

[XACE-K]

I actually thought that as well, but what would his typing be i wonder...? Imma guess Dragon/Dark

I see Dragon for Kibago and a secon typing for one of its next evos. Also I hope we get to see the official artwork for some of the pokemon that haven't truly been confirmed yet. (Smugleaf's & Wotter's evos for example).

There's good reason to believe that this is the next OU Dragon pokemon from Gen V.
Also, since it will learn "Double Chop', it very well could be a Dragon/Fighting.
