Why does everyone hate on Gen4...bar starters/legendaries, Gen3 was the weirdest. >_> But I like them all. The pics are droolable. I want to print them out and put them in my locker at school...

My thoughts:

Blurry pictures are blurry
That city looks bland
Poké Center (if that's what if is) got a much-deserved update

That's it.

Zoroark is clearly using a move which appears to be Dark Pulse.

So the status bars and stuff disappear when you attack.

And for this reason, I'm ****ing jetting from this thread as soon as the games hit Japan. I want my experience with it to be the same as it was when Diamond and Pearl came out: untampered. I don't want to know what the hell all these new Pokemon are and what they learn before I even touch the game. In a lot of ways, I don't even want to know the mechanics. I might even leave this thread the moment they start talking about that kind of stuff.
I second this. My entire D/P/Pt experience was ruined by Nintendo Power, spoilerific friends, and the Mukking anime

Hmm, I've always wanted to abstain from the game pre-release information....but can I last? I highly doubt it. I'd much rather not kill myself over keeping the games secret because I'll most likely have to look things up anyways after the release.

Dumb, in my opinion. They basically just added a bit more environment and flashiness to the old battle sequence. And if they have to get rid of your status bar to show off the moves, then that likely means the animations will be longer and thus slow it down. Assuming this is true, the battling is going to be one of my least favorite parts of this game.

I have the same issue with basically any semi-3D to 3D battle-style.

In all honesty, I didn't even know about Diamond/Pearl's existence until I was able to reserve it. And I did so and only kept track of when the game actually came out. Those were simpler times for me then, because I didn't spend my time on a site talking about Pokemon and for the most part I didn't have friends who played either. I didn't even know about Serebii until after the game's release. My D/P experience was VERY good because of this, as was my experience with games before it. HG/SS wasn't as great of an experience to me because I knew too much before release. So expect me to dip out some time soon from this topic. I know for a fact that I can hold out until release.

If they Muk over the 5th Generation Pokemon I'm going to be greatly disappointed. Those screenshots look truly amazing.

Of course, I don't want to buy a 3DS just to play this game, however...

I bought a handheld (or borrowed in the case of the GBA, although it eventually became mine) specifically for the ability to play the 1st and 3rd gen games, so if these were released on the 3DS only I'd probably have to keep to tradition and buy the handheld specifically for the games. After all, it's tradition. And I honestly wouldn't mind anyway. I don't really give a **** about money.

I cannot tell you how many people would love that.

If you want them on you can have it on (me)
If you don't, then you can turn if off (stupid people)

You don't think our current pokemon will be lost, like G/S > R/S do you? I was scared thats what you meant.

They could have had Zorua/Zoroark following them, though.

Or a Gen 1-4 Pokemon.

:/

They could have also just not have partner Pokemon put in the game yet too. You know, because that kind of stuff happens sometimes. The chance of it is slim yes, but it's still a possibility.

Hmmm, it doesn't matter either way. <.< I just don't want to experience a G/S > R/S/E thing ever again. If the new games made you start fresh i'd be so sad..

I trusted you. ;-;

Has anyone noticed that the shadows under the Pokemon in battle are REAL shadows now? Not the "BLACK OVAL THAT IS PROPORTIONAL TO SIZE" shadows they were using before?

Though for some reason Zoroark's left leg isn't attached to his shadow, but they'll probably/hopefully change that before release.

Oh, hey, They leaked the general plot for black and white!

A main character ten years of age and of the players specified gender is entrusted with the task of finding and capturing every type Pokemon in order to fill up an electronic encyclopedia with information about them! On his/her journey, the player will travel all across the land, defeat a series of Pokemon gyms and their powerful leaders, confront their rival who was a member of their hometown, thwart the plans of an evil organization, discover and catch the legendary Pokemon of the land, and eventually fight the team of 4 elite trainers in the Pokemon league and their master, the champion, to be a Pokemon master! You'll also see the return of your old favorites like geodude, rattata, and zubat!
Can't wait.

Awww man, the annoying ones are coming back for another 5 years. I was kinda hoping that they would cut these out. Another question, how are these old favorites?

And was there any doubt what the general plot line would be?
