Pokémon Black and White (WARNING: SPOILERS)

[CRASHiC]

Black is all aruond better. Its longer in length and in time, as well as providing a much fuller experience.

We have no genuine proof that is the case, espeically since that would cause sales to be highly imbalanced toward black.

Source or its all fake

 

[CRASHiC]

The source is my own personal experience thank you very much.

 

[Chico113]

White has 4 to 6 gyms
Black has at least 8, always.

how do you know? lol

 

[XACE-K]

Am I the only one who is seeing Crashic's posts as sexual innuendos?

Seeing the map makes me sad that Defog looks like it will return.

 

[Chico113]

here is the bigger version of the map


I do not know what the numbers stand for.

 

[Firus]

The source is my own personal experience thank you very much.

If you're getting at what I think you're getting at, I'd suggest knocking it off since it's not funny and it's spam, to say the very least.

Also, I guess I'm the only Latin geek here who hears "homunculus" and thinks of it being Latin, haha.

 

[Kofu]

What does it mean in Latin, then?

 

[Firus]

It's a diminutive of the word "homo" meaning "man", so just "little man".

 

[Chico113]

it means homo i think or little man

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

Homunculus:
1.) A diminutive human.
2.) A miniature, fully formed individual believed by adherents of the early biological theory of preformation to be present in the sperm cell.

It seems to be a creature (not visually a man) seemingly coated in an ameba-like exterior, which appears as a cell. Though Rankarusa is classified as the following: Amplificaction Pokeomon. Hmm.......

 

[JOE!]

Black might not have 8 gyms, crashic

ive heard white may even have 9+

 

[Chico113]

well if it is true then i am getting the highest one

 

[Wrath`]

I really doubt they are going to diversify the games to the point were you need to buy both to enjoy the whole story, unless it's their way of MAKING MONEY!!!!!!!!

 

[Z'zgashi]

Next they'll make paid DLC that is required to beat the game >.>

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

Or use up your money for transportation to get a certain pokemon at an exclusive event, OH WAIT!

I c what you did thar >.> i hope they dont do anything anymore that really screws over the pokemon series. If anything i think they should just focus on making better use of the ds wifi and future 3DS wifi abilities. I mean the Global trading thing was good, but lacked in the fact you need to actually have or have seen the pokemon before you can ask to trade for it.

 

[PowerBomb]

And that it made it that much harder for someone to complete their Pokedex.

Is it confirmed that Reshiram/Zekrom are version exclusive?

I dont think it has been confirmed but more than likely they will be version exclusive. Though i do hope they make it easier to trade for them, than having to have a friend nearby.

 

[Kole]

Reshiram and Zekrom are version exclusive, sadly

 

[M.K]

There is no confirmation of that.
Simply because they are the version mascots does not mean they are unobtainable in the opposite game.
This could work somewhat like Generation 2, where one legendary is significantly stronger/higher level than the other, but both are present.

 

[Bowser King]

http://serebii.net/blackwhite/exclusives.shtml

It was confirmed that they won't be found in the opposite game on Serebii or Bulbapedia (sadly I can't find the link).

 

[M.K]

The fact that Serebii has it on his site does not confirm that both could not be in one game.
Serebii leaves alot of placeholders, and Reshiram/Zekrom are simply placed in their respective versions for clarification and to exhibit only the "known". Since Serebii Joe does not post rumors, I'd assume he just seperated them for clarification.

However, if you do come across that link, I'd love to see it!!

 

[Mic_128]

I can't find the link either, but it was definitely confirmed somewhere that they are exclusive.

EDIT: Found it.

http://www.pokemon-sp.jp/series/bw/#/pokemon/legend/reshiram.html

http://www.pokemon-sp.jp/series/bw/#/pokemon/legend/zekrom.html

It says so in those circles next to their pictures.

 

[M.K]

Ah, perfect! Thanks for the link Mic!
Honestly, it's not as if I "dislike" Serebii, but he takes ONLY the facts of the situation. Half the fun of the wait is the rumors, and also, Serebii seems to mistranslate alot of details. Likewise, he misses a **** ton of details.
PokeBeach seems to be a great source, I love Filb.de, and PokeJungle is like...."fun". haha.

 

[PowerBomb]

Aww.

I really like the fact that in HG/SS you can get both Lugia and Ho-Oh. Shame they don't do this as often as they should.

 

[Golem the Stern Father]

It would make a customer/pokemon fan more willing to buy both games versus only one.
It's just business, serious business...

I thought you hated speculating yet you say half the fun is in rumors

 

[Firus]

Rumors aren't necessarily speculation, and I believe what started that argument a while back was him saying that speculating about the region is pointless because we know absolutely nothing and an argument had started before over the region.

In any case, let's not try and start up old arguments again, please?

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

I think they should stop with making certain pokemon event exclusive, and make them more like achievements.

Beat every trainer: Get ticket A
Get 'x'+ pokemon in the pokedex: Get ticket B
Beat the elite four 'x' amount of times: Get ___ egg.

or maybe get over 9000 a certain amount of yen/pokedollars/whatever and be able to buy tickets or something.

It would really discourage cheating, and would totally add hours and hours to the game. I would feel so much better about myself by hunting down every trainer in the game to get a certain pokemon then to cheat getting it because like hell i'm waiting until whatever date to get it.

Implamenting achievement add-ons would be more encouraging, and superlative addition.

Additional stars on the trainer tag just doesn't cut it for me; I bet most players forget about the trainer tag completely, something worth more than that is needed. The 'beat every trainer' reward would probably be the best addition, as I have a small peeve for those who skip around trainers, not being the best, like no one ever was... because being a pokemon master means defeating all challengers and capture/train every pokemon.

 

[UberMario]

Game Freak has apparently romanized the name "Chiramii" to "Chillarmy", discuss?

 

[Fuelbi]

Hmmm...

Chillarmy? That sounds like a ******** english name tbh. Chiramii was much cooler

 

[UberMario]

Hmmm...

I assume it was pronounced that way to begin with, many people pronounce "Army" with a silent R, and the r in "Chira" is pronounced as an L in Japan anyway. So it only went from being pronounced "Chillamy" to "Chillarmy".

 

[Z'zgashi]

Stupid name, now i dont like him as much any more

 

[UberMario]

Stupid name, now i dont like him as much any more

Keep in mind, this is only confirmed to be the Japanese name for it, the American/European names may very well be different, at least it's better than Gardevoir being SirKnight.

 

[UltiMario]

I thought L didn't exist in Japanese. How can you have Chillarmy with no Ls? It'd have to be pronounced "Chirrarmy" to work, any why not spell it that way?

 

[Z'zgashi]

They better make his english name ****ing amazing

 

[UberMario]

Gliscor is Glion in Japan, while Golbat is still Golbat, so they clearly do.
