Pokémon Black and White (WARNING: SPOILERS)

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Coal is China's main source of energy....
Thought I'd throw that in there.

Yeah but I don't think they'd put it in there. They said culture, not sources of energy. If it were based on those, Smugleaf would evolve into a big BP logo (oh hey it has the right colors already).

 

[Vermy]

Found this on a Serebii forum post. I'll be getting a Samurai Otter, not "Senile grandpa Dialga goes to the beach". Eight days to go!

 

[PowerBomb]

What happened to the whiskers? Were they erased?

[Vlade]

Cannot WAIT to get my hands on this game, I'm really hyped for it. It is the highest-scoring pokemon game on Famitsu Magazine so I would really like to see what makes Black and White a cut about the rest.

The C-Gear looks really handy

 

[Olikus]

Excited for the new pokemons!

 

[PowerBomb]

* There are 156 new Pokémon within this generation; 153 within normal gameplay and further 3 event Pokémon (#647, #648 & #649) that will be distributed in a manner similar to Darkrai, Shaymin & Arceus in the previous generation
* In regards to a few numbers and details;
o #633 through #635 are a Dark/Dragon-type evolution chain
o #638 is a Steel/Fighting-type Legendary
o #639 is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary
o #640 is a Grass/Fighting-type Legendary
o #641 is a Pure Flying-type Legendary
o #642 is an Electric/Flying-type Legendary
o Reshiram is to be #643
o Zekrom is to be #644
o #645 is a Ground/Flying-type Legendary
o #646 is a Dragon/Ice-type Legendary
o #647 is a Water/Fighting-type Event Legendary
o #648 is a Normal/Psychic-type Event Legendary
o #649 is a Bug/Steel-type Event Legendary
* In Hiun City, the boats will take you to various islands.

Also, Serebii is now saying that there's a chance his information is wrong. At least he's admitting it, I guess.

 

[Mic_128]

Steel Fighting? Cool!

 

[Pluvia]

Just looks like they're trying to pull the same trick they did with Blaziken to Infernape but with Lucario to (new legendary).

 

[Mic_128]

Oh yeah, forgot Lucario.

......

.....it's not cool now, thanks Pluv

 

[XACE-K]

Pure Flying!? It's about d@mn time GF. Now can all the Normal/Flying pokemon be changed plz?

Also, I'm assuming Zekrom is #644 in the National Dex if Victini is #494 right?

Edit: Wait a sec, shouldn't it be 4 event legendaries? Isn't Victini only available through events?

 

[Zook]

Also, I'm assuming Zekrom is #644 in the National Dex if Victini is #494 right?

I thought Victiny was #000?

 

[Wrath`]

I thought Victiny was #000?

I think that is Isshu Dex only.

 

[XACE-K]

I thought Victiny was #000?

Everyone knows MissingNo is #000 in the National Dex.

And I'm kind of ok with there being 156 new pokemon. I still wish there were less than 151 but since it's only a 5 pokemon difference, it's not that bad.

 

[Kofu]

I just want the games so I can learn the truth ;_;

These rumors are killing me, imma stick to the Japanese website for now.

 

[Tomo Takino]

>Current rumors hold that Black and White's professor is female and named Araragi, that the evil team is named Team Plasma, that there will be triple battles, that there are around 150 new Pokemon, and that the silhouettes of the region's legendary trio look like cotton, a dog, and a bipedal animal. Remember how we posted the three starter Pokemon's names before they were ever officially confirmed? The source we used also has this information, so it may turn out to be true.
>legendary trio look like cotton, a dog, and a bipedal animal.

Either Serebii is pulling **** form his ***, or the fighting trio he has hinted at is going to be very interesting.

 

[Steelia]

Dammit, the essence of Lucario still lingers. >:C

Oh, well.... Sounds like an interesting line-up of Legends. 13... One less than 4th... I can dig that. Too bad it couldn't've been the same number/at least one more. Keepin' up the increasing Legendary chain, haha.

#638 is a Steel/Fighting-type Legendary --Lucario :C
o #639 is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary
o #640 is a Grass/Fighting-type Legendary --Breloom
o #641 is a Pure Flying-type Legendary ---WHOO YES!!
o #642 is an Electric/Flying-type Legendary --Zapdos evolution? :}D (kidding)
o Reshiram is to be #643
o Zekrom is to be #644
o #645 is a Ground/Flying-type Legendary --Gligar...
o #646 is a Dragon/Ice-type Legendary
o #647 is a Water/Fighting-type Event Legendary --Poliwrath...
o #648 is a Normal/Psychic-type Event Legendary --Girafarig...
o #649 is a Bug/Steel-type Event Legendary --Forretress...

Side notes are first Pkmn I thought of when seeing those types. Wish there could've been a few more exclusive ones (no Ghost love D: ), but, what can you do.

 

[Tomo Takino]

OH MY GOD TYPINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE OOOOH

No seriously, not that big of a deal at all. ****'s just fine. There are multiple pokemon with the same typing who do completely different things and do them **** fine.

 

[Pete278]

I fully expect that legendary to be the same as Girafarig.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Pure Flying-type? That seems very skeptical.

 

[Steelia]

OH MY GOD TYPINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE OOOOH

No seriously, not that big of a deal at all. ****'s just fine. There are multiple pokemon with the same typing who do completely different things and do them **** fine.

LOL, chill out sailor, I didn't say there was anything wrong with multiple types. I was just pointing out the obvious.
Granted, I prefer when Legends have their own designated typings like Giratina or Dialga (or are the first of their kind to be Legend, a la Darkrai), but so long as they look good I could care less. Designs are all I look for. Decent base stats would be nice, too, just for the sake of raising/pulverization, but their looks go a long way... I know I'm raising myself a Gigaiasu and War-eagle just because they look really neat, regardless of stats.

 

[Wave⁂]

Predictions of who will be Uber, based only on typing. This is just for fun, to see how accurate I am.

o #638 is a Steel/Fighting-type Legendary - Uber
o #639 is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary
o #640 is a Grass/Fighting-type Legendary - Uber
o #641 is a Pure Flying-type Legendary
o #642 is an Electric/Flying-type Legendary - Uber
o Reshiram is to be #643 - Uber
o Zekrom is to be #644 - Uber
o #645 is a Ground/Flying-type Legendary
o #646 is a Dragon/Ice-type Legendary
o #647 is a Water/Fighting-type Event Legendary - Uber
o #648 is a Normal/Psychic-type Event Legendary
o #649 is a Bug/Steel-type Event Legendary - Uber

 

[XACE-K]

I can't find the link to this stuff but Melkor has new info.

- The fighting trio is quadrupedal.
- The flying trio are based on Raijin.
- Bug/Steel legend has a cannon on it's head.
- Hihidaruma has an alternative form that's Fire/Psychic and it's blue.

This gen is wierd. It has something cool, than it has something that makes me go wtf.

 

[Tomo Takino]

o #639 is a Rock/Fighting-type Legendary- maybe
o #640 is a Grass/Fighting-type Legendary -maybe Uber

[Kofu]

Just a question- who is this "Melkor" that everyone keeps talking about?

 

[XACE-K]

Just a question- who is this "Melkor" that everyone keeps talking about?

The owner of Pokexperto. He's the one who has been tweeting info about the pokedex.

And I made a mistake in my previous post. Apparently all of the fighting trio is quadrupedal. Idk if they are horses or not.

****, BW almost crossed that milestone, lol

 

[Wrath`]

If these are the typing of the legendary line-up I will be happy. The Dragon/Ice is the one I look forward to most.

 

[mew1000]

I cannot ****ing what for B&W

 

[PowerBomb]

Remember what Serebii said, guys. There could've been changes applied.

 

[Tomo Takino]

So let's talk some FLAVOR! What is the Dragon/Ice pokemon going have his tail as?
Zek= generator
Resh= torch
Well what makes ice?????

make's ice and you know it so

 

[Clownbot]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many legendaries for my liking.

 

[Spire]

A refrigerator.

[collapse=Oh wait...]

[/collapse]
Because Black and White focus on urban sprawl vs. natural world, represented by Zekrom and Reshiram, I'm curious to know what the Dragon/Ice Legendary is going to do for the world. Freeze it over so no one wins? Like Platinum? If the starters are based on Chinese, Japanese, and Western culture, might the Dragon trio also be? Reshiram could be Japanese, Zekrom could be either Chinese or Western (most likely Western given how the western world forced Japan into industrialization, though China is highly industrialized now), and Dragon/Ice could be the last remaining one.

 

[Tomo Takino]

There really aren't that many legendaries guys. You are looking at it from the outside in. Consider this:

D/P/Plt had FAR fewer pokemon, had 1 more legendary, larger percent of legendaries.
At least 4 legendaries are not in the game, bringing our total down to 9.
9 Legendaries out of 150 Pokemon.
As they exist in the game, this is an incredibly small portion of legendaries.

This is what the internet does to video games, it gets people to look from the outside in, which gives a poor representation of the game.

[M.K]

PokeExperto is so full of crap. How, in the world, is that POSSIBLY not the Shikijika evolution?
It has
1) the same color scheme. EXACTLY the same color scheme. Dark Green Body, Light Tan Face/Chest, Yellow Ears. EXACT same.
2) The same shaped ears. EXACTLY the same color scheme on the ears.
3) The SAME white spotted-bush back with the exact same color scheme as Shikijika.

Also:
1) We know it’s not the Tsutaja Evo as Serebii claims. Nothing on the Anime Sketch Artwork is REMOTELY that bumpy/jagged/bushy as what is shown. Also, if it IS Tsutaja’s Evolution, than the Anime Sketch cannot be real (impossible) and the starter evos we have now are impossible (completely possible)
2) Why would a completely new Pokemon have these color/design similarities?
3) Why would the Tsutaja Evolution/New Pokemon be drawn on the exact same sheet as all the Shikijika stuff?

This is absolutely absurd. The fandom is literally SWOONING over the possibility of new info, we are stalking Pokexperto like a hawk. What does Pokexperto want? Celebrity status, recognition, sand ite views. What is he getting? All of that. What source could have possibly authorized this sort of blatent release? “Oh, yeah, go ahead and describe every single Pokemon via Twitter and your website, as well as their types. Oh, and the alternate forms”.
I hate to say it, but he’s appealing to the naivety and yearning of the Pokemon community to spill all of this bull****.

>_< Why doesn't anybody acknowledge it?

 

[Kofu]

I'll check information, but not rely on it unless I can see a decent source--and even then, I'll be fairly skeptical until the games actually come out.

Pokéxperto seems really dubious to me, as far as the Black and White information goes anyway.

 

[Spire]

Pokéxperto is completely false. Stop going to his page.

 

[Kofu]

Like, where does he get his supposed info anyway?

Where do ANY of these webmasters get a lot of their pre-release info? A lot of it is on the official website or in Coro Coro, but other stuff is... I dunno.

 

[M.K]

They have insider sources. Serebii knows people within NoA, and Pokexperto "claims" to know all these Pokemon (Pokexperto = Melkor) b/c he was given a sheet of paper with all the drawings/names/types on it....
....which I find complete BS, seeing as how he's a Spanish Pokemon site....why would he have ANY info?
