Pokemon Black and White (Spoiler Warning)

[Night-san]

I finally got some justification for Conkledurr.

It's a combination of "Conk" and "Elder". Supposedly it's Pokedex refers to the fact that it's both A) Really really old and B ) Uses it's concrete blocks as walking sticks.

So, it's actually really old....didn't get that before.

EDIT: Or Concrete + Elder...
....or Concrete + Durr
or Conk, Concrete, Elder, and Durr.

Yeah, I understand where it's derived from. It just sounds annoying.
Dude. Volcarona is an incredibly sexy name. :D

 

[Blaziking17]

These are some interesting names coming out so far! Lol

Btw, I'm sure everyone has heard the Final Battle theme for N. That is the most amazing theme Pokemon has ever produced!

 

[choknater]

ninetales
lilligant
breloom
chandelure
cloyster
blaziken

gens 1 3 and 5 too goodizzles

Roobushin is "pushing blocks" "old" and "Warrior". Conkel is a term that people uses for concrete material/pillars, then "Elder" because if you look he looks older and it's made with RR obviously to fit with his evo line.
The Japanese names are good, but the English ones describe the Pokèmon better sometimes.

I totally didn't posted this five pages ago. You guys need to stop ignoring me.

 

[choknater]

i don't think anyone purposely ignores ppl on forums unless they hit the ignore button.

posts just go by and topics are always reiterated calm down bro

I totally didn't posted this five pages ago. You guys need to stop ignoring me.

To be fair, I was going to point out that the origins of Conkeldurr's name had already been posted by a number of people when I saw Meta-Kirby's post, but I didn't feel like leafing through to find your post or Flyinfilipino's post.

 

[Night-san]

But I wasn't ignoring you- your post was why I already knew its derivation.
But just because it's meaningful doesn't mean that the portmanteau that his name is comprised of sounds pleasing to my ears.

 

[choknater]

conkeldurr is the most-referred to of all the new pokenames LOL

that and chandelure

chandelure and lilligant are my fav pokemon, both MAD CUTE

 

[Night-san]

Zoroark: Master of Illusions airs in a little under an hour. I'm recording it to ensure that I see it; I'll post my verdict afterwards. :]

 

[Wave⁂]

Wait, where? And in what language?

 

[M.K]

Cartoon Network in English.

 

[Wave⁂]

Well, I'm not a big fan of Livestream's quality (or ads), so I guess I'll wait a bit and torrent it.

 

[IsmaR]

I thought it was neat.

 

[Night-san]

Just finished. It was okay. Not as bad as PokeBeach makes it out to be (but then again, WPM bawwwws at a lot nowadays coughceaseanddesistcough).

Rather touching. The very easily spotted CGI bothered me a bit, though. And how the Cartoon Network announcer pronounced it "Zorro-orc." xP

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I don't think I've ever watched a Pokemon movie after 2000.

 

[deepseadiva]

For some reason, I ended up on a terrible terrible Friends fan page for five minutes. Once I closed the tab, I forgot why I even went there.

But now I remember.

that and chandelure

 

[M.K]

That wasn't horrible. I hated Zorua, but I liked Zoroark. The purple-haired girl was annoying. I like Tangrowth....
....pretty much the gist of what I thought haha.

 

[choknater]

rofl i just watched it on tv too

zoroark was so baller.

rofl chandler

 

[Fuelbi]

I saw part of the movie too

Found Zorua asking for her Meema really annoying so I just put the volume down and went to do something else

 

[Night-san]

Yeah, Zorua was annoying. Why did they change it from his mother to his grandmother (at least, that's what I called my grandma when I was little)?

Purple-Hair pissed me off too. :U

I was kind've disappointed that... like every scene in the entire trailer wasn't included it the movie.
That, and I didn't get to see what the hell Pokemon Boccer is.

[choknater]

interesting! ahhh im so excited to get this game!

 

[Flygon3x]

I've decided to see the Zoroark Movie in Japanese, since I just can't stand the English voices since the Battle Frontier change. It's not the worst movie, not as bad as Pokebeach makes it out in my opinion. I dislike the Celebi movie the most just because of the fact that they saved Celebi all because of friendship speechs, that really ticked me off.

Does the movie now also confirm that shiny Legends actually exist in the "Pokemon world"? I guess that also means there are more than one Entei, Suicune, and Raikou now. Speaking of event Pokemon, I got them all downloaded.

---------------------------------------

Did I just notice the Black White cities English name are named after clouds?

 

[choknater]

entei running thru the city and burning it was freakin manly.

honestly the action moments with those legendaries vs zoroark were the best parts of the movie. the rest was just a cheesy story (though i was surprisingly emotional near the end. ahahah. pokemon can bring out the little girl in me)

 

[Night-san]

I'll say, though; the villain's motives weren't that... interesting, really. He probably was the worst done villain in the movies.
Granted, his way of going about things by making Zoroark mad was bada.

The way he's all "Evil Pokemon blowing up your city. Just leave and we'll take care of it. K? K." kind've bugged me.

At least the movie had an environmental message... but that felt really shoved down my throat. :/

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yeah, someone pointed that out a page ago or something.

 

[choknater]

clouds are too good

thundurus tornadus get at em

Nope, the worst done villain is OBJECTIVELY the one from the 9th movie. The bearded pirate.

I was about to say that too... he was like... so cheesy and he LOOKED RIDICULOUS. Honestly, I can't remember when I've seen even worse of a villain in the Pokemon anime.

Little old news, but I usually like the bonus tracks at the end of the soundtrack CD's for each game. I thought the ending theme, the N's goodbye arrangement was so beautiful, I like cried after hearing it the first time. The N battle mix is pretty interesting as well, along with the second half of the Kanawa Town theme.

Ah, that's amazing.
I'm in love with the game version, too.

 

[choknater]

ahhhhh im very excited to get the game next month

if i do...

 

[majora_787]

I preordered, so I'm feeling good about it. xD

UNLESS someone at gamestop messes up the order forms again, and orders 100 copies fewer than were reserved. AGAIN.

I noticed that a lot of sites are in a mess with translated names. >_< What's the deal with that, exactly? I mean, I know the pokemon have been regionalized. (Foongus Amoongus... r_r Really?) But cities, gym leaders, characters, moves, the other stuff, are sort of everywhere except for Bulbapedia, who seems to be ignoring everything.

 

[choknater]

idk i've learned to trust serebii on this kind of thing

w/e im just goin with the flow

 

[IsmaR]

Dat Doredia avi.
(I did like Lilligant as a name, but Doredia2gud)

 

[Wave⁂]

The best part is the transparent background.

 

[choknater]

haha thanks bros. i reserved white today so cuteeeee

Electrode? MR MIME? WHAT THE ****?

 

[Pluvia]

I'll post my 2 day playthrough when I get this on the 4th I think. Tell you my team etc, plus I don't know the story so it'll be great and new.

 

[ndayday]

Maybe I just suck at Pokemon but I think you'll have a hard time unless you're playing for like 2 days straight. =x
All 3 times I've played through I've gotten no less than 30 hours.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Pre-ordered. This is going to be a good gen, since it's new. :D Dream World release date is delayed, though? Guess it won't matter as it'll take me a while to beat the game/trainer card, but yeah.
