Isshu looks really amazing. I really hope that it's all new Pokes before the League like that rumour said.
Except Magikarp. Magikarp always has to be there.

And fishermen with 6 Magikarp's that you can rebattle and they'll always be Magikarp's.

Yoshi's island!I don't see that AT ALL, however, I can't unsee a dinosaur skull in that pic.
If Isshu is part of a giant Yoshi's Island, i will be soooo happy.
It's kinda a shame that we leave Magikarp behind. It's a stupid pokemon as a pokemon, but it's a defining part of the adventure. I wish they kept SOME classics. Of course, no tenticool, machop, geodude, pikachu, or zubat. The world's most annoying Pokemon.

That picture has a striking resemblance to Mr. Game and Watch. A little.

Combination attacks.
Much more focus towards doubles and triples from what I see. Kind of interesting.

Hihidaruma has Encourage, which boosts the power of his attacks but negates their secondary effects, right?
What happens when Hihidaruma uses Overheat? Overheat reaches 200 base power with STAB and is further boosted by Encourage and the Sp. Atk. drops are negated.

I'm pretty sure it only works on positive secondary effects.
Either that, or Hihidaruma has mad low SpAtk.

The Sp. Atk. is a secondary effect, isn't it?
Zook
Perpetual Lazy Bum
Yes, but Mold Breaker doesn't negate every ability.

Depending on the wording on Encourage, I think "secondary effects" refers to things that have a chance of happening, like what Serene Grace boosts.

I do not like the way the triple battles are evolving , it is starting to seem like an JRPG style with "Team combo" attacks, soon there will be limit breaks for all of your pokemon.
I agree with this...it went from Double Battles, which were an interesting gameplay innovation, to Triple Battles, which seemed like just a gimmick expanding on Double Battles, and now we have all manner of differences between Triple Battles and any other kind of battle.
It still feels like a gimmick but they're adding so much to it that it just feels like another game in and of itself.
Triple Battles are the one aspect of Black and White so far that I'm not very fond of at all. With all luck they'll wind up doing what they did in Ruby and Sapphire and make them actually fairly rare -- although if it follows the same path that third gen took, they'll come back in the third game and throw in a ton of them.
JRPG means more than just "An RPG from Japan". There's generally a larger difference between the two.
Going by the general definition of a JRPG, Pokémon definitely isn't one.

I actually think the triple fights are a nice addition. It should lead to some interesting battles...

I like the addition of Triple Battles ALOT, and I'm interested to see where this "Combination Attacks" goes. The few that were explicitly stated sound....balanced. I mean, taking two Pokemon combined to do the same thing as one Scary Face attack (Water + Grass Oath)....I just needa see how it evolves.

Out of Obscurity
They're making the game deeper and more interesting at the expense of some ideas being stale and a little gimmicky.
As long as things don't go overboard, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Wait, Bacon That Cooks Itself is getting Nitro Boost and Fire Oath? 2 signature moves? Has that been done before?
Of course, 2 generations from now, 10 other Pokemon will be able to learn it from Level Up or even a freaking TM.

There will be a triple battle gym but Smogon wont have triples so who cares. This wont affect us.

Think Pokemon will ever surpass having 100 TMs? That's entirely possible.

Not everyone plays the game for competitive battling.

I bet one of those won't really be a signature move (I'm betting on Fire Oath).

Why does everything have to tie back into Smogon? Not trying to say this from a competitive standpoint but I'm sure triple battle simulators will pop up with due time anyway.

It's not exactly the same, but i never thought that the Pokemon count would top 400. Oops.
For all we know, Triple Battles could be played more than singles over wireless. They might be fun as heck, and for whatever reason have more balance than singles, or something else crazy. I'll be playing my share.Pluvia said:

So you think VGC will make triple battles their main format?

well who knows?
maybe they are really well done, and more fun than singles and gain a huge following.
we simply dont know enough yet.
This is the same argument as people in the 70's looking at the ad for that new George Lucas movie and calling it **** cus they liked Buck Rogers.

I believe this is true. lso if he joins Ash in the anime, he'd need someone to watch the gym when he's gone (aka the other 2 trainers).
And I believe this is fake. Smugleaf's final evo seems iffy to me (mainly because its face becomes white after being yellowish). Bacon's middle evo looks too big to be a middle evo (and it looks stupid to me, the final evo is cool). As for Wotter, I can't see the middle evo being blue and the final evo being some dog looking thing. But Serebii says it MIGHT be true.

Of course there's going to be a triple battle gym, it's been obvious since they revealed them to us.
I saw those evos on serebii too, they look pretty fake if you ask me, it just doesn't feel like a natural progression like all the other starter pokes take.
But if it is real I'm not getting that ugly fat thing that the Fire type turns into. Smugleaf ftw.

I agree. They look pretty fake. Especially how going from the first to second-stage looks iffy.
While I agree, you can't really use anime-based reasoning. Brock left his entire family to watch the Gym, Misty with her sisters. All of them are pure anime with no game-related ties.

tbh, the only reason i can't believe that picture, is because mija's final evo looks nothing like mija's second stage
