Pokemon Black and White (Spoiler Warning)

[DLO]

Because CREATING and GENERATING something is the same thing?
The only one attack who has a bad name is Head Charge: Afro Break was the signature of Bouffalant.

 

[Wave⁂]

Generate sounds cooler.

 

[flyinfilipino]

I'm still not really sure what Create or Generate has to do with the move itself. I mean, I guess Victini is creating/generating a lot of heat while it uses the move. But surely there could've been a better name.

The biggest disappointment overall, ability or move-wise, is Herbivore -> Sap Sipper. But everything else sounds pretty swell. Also, Psyshock, that one attack from way back in the Pokemon TCG, is finally a real attack!

 

[Night-san]

V-Generate seems to roll off the tongue better, I guess. Again, just because the meaning of a name or word is spot-on doesn't mean it sounds as nice as its synonyms.
I rather like Sap Sipper, on the other hand; I guess I'm a sucker for alliteration.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Head Charge can now literally be called Head Smash but for Baffuron. Afro Break should've stayed.

 

[choknater]

man

afro all dai.

shoulda called it bling blam

 

[Pluvia]

Because we don't have 24 hour shops near here it's just over 24 hours until I get this game.

His name should have been Buffafro. We obviously can't trust NOA to think of good names.

 

[IsmaR]

They didn't completely butcher Kojondo's name(and I've grown fond of both the former and Mienshao), so I'm happy.

Also/Coincidentally - http://serebii.net/blackwhite/ability.shtml I'm actually like some of the abilities' new names. Contrary go hand in hand with Serperior. Like Defiant too. Not digging Defeatist or Moody, though.

Went to go finish paying off White/pre-order a 3DS today. 3 days hype.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Moody seems like that should only be given to female Pokemon who can lay eggs.

lf you don't mind, I think I'm sigging that. xD

Three!

We knew that as soon as they didn't go with a variation of Pignite/Pignition.

But...they did?

[Mic_128]

Huh, I stand corrected.

 

[Spire]

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pignite

Wow that is super awesome.

 

[Kesusjade]

Snivy and I are buttbuddies. Cannae wait.

But I'm thinking twice about preordering Black version, I totally forgot about White Forest where you can catch pre-evolutions!
Oh well. I suppose I can always have my girlfriend give me some.
Also I think this guy makes up for any of Black's shortcomings:

 

[Spire]

Yeah that guy is way hardcore. He has a nice haircut and a beard that doubles as a bandana!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

lf you don't mind, I think I'm sigging that. xD

Three!

I think you messed up on that quote there! XD

 

[Rubyiris]

soft resetting is for noobs just play pokemon online.

 

[Wrath`]

5$ says one of the BW anime episodes is about what is under the Beardanna

 

[ndayday]

it's a hat.

 

[Wave⁂]

it's a hat.

I cried

Ndayday, you're a ****.

 

[Chill]

it's a hat.

Oh god, not this again.

 

[Wrath`]

Is there a hat meme I am missing here?

 

[Rubyiris]

got the european version yesterday. transfered my (j) content over (zoroark wifi.) i was a noob and forgot to get the others. i beat the game (as in, 100% completion) in about 72 hours after release and didnt touch my DS again until december, and even then I was playing Phantasy Star Zero lolz.

made it to ze city, got victini. Currently have:

50 Zoroark (boxed)
15 victini
25 Gurdurr
10 Pansear (boxed)
23 Dewott
24 Herdier (sand rush, was too lazy to hunt for an intimidate puppy.)

 

[Pluvia]

The supermarket was selling it on offer for half price too.

 

[choknater]

im getting mine the day it comes out lol

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

So which version is better?

Also, I'm sort of confused (not really been paying much attention to Black and White) - if you get Black, you get the...White Legendary? What's up with that?

 

[Wave⁂]

So which version is better?

>Implying Doredia doesn't make White automatically superior

 

[Wrath`]

Reshiram>Zekrom. Back when we saw them I decided whatever game Resh was in I'd get, so Pokemon Black is what I shall buy Monday.

QFT.

Holy sh*t two days, so excitedddddd. o___o

Pokemon White has Rankurusu though, right? I'm so torn. Good thing I'm not getting the as soon as it comes out.

 

[Rubyiris]

black is better.

 

[M.K]

Truly the only "exclusive" is the Vullaby/Mandibuzz line, which constitutes as "the only line so exclusive you can't get it from the GTS" because IIRC, no trainers use it in the game.

Therefore, Black has the SLIGHT advantage, but seriously, how many of us don't have a friend that's gonna get us the exclusives anyways?

Spoiler

Definitely should not have asked that question lol

IGN gave this game a 9.0, stating:

I can get over the ones that are just dumb, like ▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓, but many of these Pokemon are downright hideous. I love Oshawott, the water starter. I think he's adorable. But then he turns into ▓▓▓▓▓▓, who looks like ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓ narwhal ▓▓▓ ▓ drunk bear ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓. ▓▓▓▓▓ conveys the image of ▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ melted ice cream sandwiches ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ cigarette butts.

I think that is the most helpful article from IGN I have read. Ever.

 

[Night-san]

Wow, IGN actually posted something not dripping in bias.

One more dayyyyyy. :D
(Other than you lucky Europeans who already have it...)

 

[RATED]

Can't wait for tomorrow, I live really Near to the gamestop so that I am going to be the first one in line :D

Lucky Europeans.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I'm getting Black for my cousin so I'm going with him for the midnight release to get it for him. I lost track of Pokemon after the 1st gen came out.

 

[Night-san]

There's no midnight release around us. The Gamestop we preordered at opens at 10:00. We'll probably arrive early or shortly after it opens, but since we preordered it shouldn't matter.

Interestingly enough, we live near three Gamestops. They're all 45 minutes away. In the same flipping town. o_o

I'm just concerned, you hear all those stories of Gamestop shafting preorders to walk-ins with games this popular, which is why I'd prefer arriving early...
