Each Unown could get a powerful semi-limited-in-distribution special move or something.

Unown A - Aeroblast
Unown B - Blizzard
Unown C - Charge Beam
Unown D - Draco Meteor

And so on?

God Unown. It's like God's barfbag (so basically I dunno what Arceus was doing in creating these pests)

The moves above will make them MUCH MORE useful, even though some of these moves are a bit TOO powerful.

See, this is what ruins Pokemon, introducing godly lore. It absolutely kills it for me, which is why I choose to ignore Arceus and all those 4th gen shenanigans.

Oh please. Unown has like a base Special Attack stat not over 80? It doesn't get STAB on any either, except maybe Psychic on Unown P, so it won't be very game-changing at all.

Well, I still don't like the idea of an Unown having Aeroblast even though it wouldn't have much use as part of its choosable moveset in the first place.

Maybe the attacks could change based on the language the game is in too! So having a German Unown Q would be different than having an English or Japanese Q.

That would be pretty intense, considering all the different languages and whatnot.

We could call it - The Unknown Unown Complex.

Just make a pokemon that you can only catch after you collect each one. Maybe a pokemon that is just a bunch of all unown clustered together ala Magneton. Alphanown

Actually this is an interesting concept—the first part that is. I could see them actually expanding it so that once you catch all of the known Pokemon, several completely unknown species become available in the wild and it's up to you to track them down. There are no clues within the game on how to find them, so it's like encountering the legendary beasts but without their icons on the map. Though don't make them legendary. Totally breedable and balanced, just new.

I actually had a theory that unown were all bonding together and make this little douchebag

It seems kinda fitting, and the hgss arceus event furthered my suspicions

Unown groups would be like 999 in every stat.

Since according to Movie 3 they can do whatever the muk they want.

Arceus should be 999 in every stat since it created everything in existance ever (so lame)

Messing with a gimmick Pokemon.
Wat.

Though admittedly it could use a boost. Serebii can stop hatin' on the poor letters then.

I thought it was mildly hilarious for whatever reason that they threw in those Unown in the HGSS event. They're Arceus' baby makers now. Ew incest?

Regardless, Unown needs Psychic at the very least. And something beastly that booats its Special Attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong by all means, but of the screen shots I've seen so far, there is no Pokemon following the trainers. Can anyone shed light on this, perhaps show me something I haven't seen yet. I really liked that feature of HG/SS and I'd hate for it excluded in Black and White.

There's a few guesses as to why.

1. Was removed
2. Not yet implemented as screenshots look fairly bare
3. Not shown due to preventing possible pokemon spoilers.

I think 3 is the most likely, as I sure hope that 1 isn't true, because the pokemon following the trainer, having feelings, etc. is my favorite "new" addition to the series in several years, it makes you feel so immersed in the pokemon world.

That too. But considering Ninty's habit of removing the really awesome non-major stuff (Secret Bases, Mystery Gift) it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they removed it :c

Mystery gift is still around.
It's just not as cool as it used to be.

It exists, but does it do anything? All I've managed to find out about it is that it works only with the Japanese versions.

EDIT: Looked it up. Laaaaaaaaaaaaame

Or maybe they removed the overworld Pokemon so they could put them into the third version and use that as a way to draw more customers.

...This.

They've consistently done this since 2nd gen.

Crystal adds animations!

Ruby/Sapphire remove them.

Emerald brings back animations, and adds a Battle Frontier!

Diamond/Pearl removes the Battle Frontier.

Platinum brings back the Battle Frontier!

It's a rule. The third game introduces something, then they remove it for the original games of the following generation and bring them back in the third game of the following generation.

Of course, HG/SS aren't third versions, but I'm sure it's just a slight variation on the typical formula. They just add something that people like, then remove it for long enough for you to get angry and then forget about being angry, and finally bring it back making you excited even though you should just be pissed that they took it out in the first place.

It's also worth mentioning that every time they bring something back, it tends to be worse than it was when it was introduced...the animations in Crystal were complex, now the animations are two frames with some shaking or something. The Battle Frontier in Emerald had 7 facilities, they brought it back in Platinum with 5.

So, I'm predicting that from now on the Battle Frontier will be a permanent fixture of the Pokémon series, as it's been introduced, gotten rid of, and brought back.

I hope that they keep the underground and remove all spheres, I only went underground for items.

Or maybe walking pokemon are here to stay I mean Yellow had a pokemon following you, got taken out, and then got back in a few months ago. That would be an exception to the rule though... but a legitimate point nonetheless IMO

I'm hoping they make it so that you could interact wirelessly with friends on the overworld.
That'd be sick.

I would like to see the moves and nature of the pokemon in GTS, when you trade using Wi-fi, you know nothing about the pokemon other than it's species, gender and item.

That would be really nice. It's strange they didn't have it like that in the first place.

Yeah. This always confused me, although I assumed it was just too buggy.
