New Main Pokemon Game Announced
Next entry to follow Diamond & Pearl hits Japanese DS some time this year.
January 28, 2010 - HeartGold and SoulSilver are still the rage amongst Pokemon gamers, but Nintendo isn't letting Pikachu and crew rest. In Japan today, the company announced that a new main entry in the series is being developed for DS.
By "main entry," we mean a game in the line of titles that includes Red & Green, Gold & Silver, Ruby & Saphire, and Diamond & Pearl. The new game is set for Japanese release this year, meaning it will come four years after Diamond & Pearl's original release over there.
Nintendo did not share details on the game today, only hinting that it would have new Pokemon, take place in a new region, and feature new gameplay concepts.
But with the announcement out of the way, and with a 2010 Japanese release, expect to start hearing details shortly.
I hope the next starters are better than the last ones, they kinda didn't really appeal to me.
All the Pokemon designs in general have just gone way, WAY out into left field. Nebula Gray fits in with Gen 4; that's [tornado fang]ing ridiculous.Even Lucario?
Charmander will always remain my favorite starter (and Charmeleon as my favorite Pokemon of all!).Meh I'm more partial to Torchic as a favorite starter.
So... what kind of pokemons will have higher authority than Dialga, Palkia, and Arcueus?God, the brand new pokemon, or should I say Kyit?
Even Lucario?
he's a playa and he knows it
Cyndaquil has been my favourite so far.Pretty much this
Compare...compare Darkrai to Gengar. Compare Combbee to Caterpie. Compare Claydol to Noctowl. Shoot, what the heck is Bronzong supposed to be?!
Okay, well, "all" is a strong word.Yeah you do have a good point I mean even the new evolutions for the old pokemon just look weird. I mean Tangegrowth was...yeah that's just wrong. Dusknoir is just plain weird and doesn't really fit into the Duskull family, although he seems strong it just doesn't make sense for a pokemon to have no legs, get new legs, then lose them again. I mean they should of made him into a giant zombie with eyes all over the place, that's the perfect upgrade for a cyclops in my opinion.

A few Pokemon can steer into the abstract just fine. But to start turning away from designs that were designed for "survival of the fittest"? And look goofy on top? That's not cute design or marketing appeal, that's just laziness.
They've reaped what they've sewn, though. They've introduced Arceus, and now there's no turning back but to put effort into future installments.
I should have stopped when I found out about EVs/IVs/Natures and Beauty Contests, but I played through Emerald anyway. Was...alright.
I dunno, gen 1 had some pretty [parasitic bomb] pokemon too. There were so many that were just larger versions of real world animals with changed colours. And then, y'know, Grimer. It's an animate puddle. It evolves into a bigger animate puddle. Voltorb. It's a ball that shoots lightning (?). It evolves into a bigger ball that shoots lightning. Hitmonchan. It's a boxer? And Magnemite and Diglett, while having nothing wrong with them themselves, have the laziest evolutions ever. Those two look especially bad compared to Metagross, who actually did the whole combining pokemon thing right.
There are plenty of badly designed pokemon in the later gens, but there are just as many good ones as in the early games. Breloom and Ninjask and Flygon and Milotic and Dusknoir and so on and so on and so on.
Metagross is the best pokemon ever so I'm going to keep complaining at you until you acknowledge it so just do it already. :<
Dusknoir: With ghosts, it's just too hard to say "Well this is too abstract." So it's lucky.True but still I would of liked it better if it was a giant zombie with eyes all over the place so Dusklops wouldn't have to lose it's legs. They also should of evolved Banette too and make him into some kind of puppet master pokemon.
Only when Dunsparce gets two evolutions.Yeah Dunsparce is the only truly weird one in the 2 generations and I don't really see any possible designes for it's evolution it's just too weird.
Only when Dunsparce gets two evolutions.
Yeah Dunsparce is the only truly weird one in the 2 generations and I don't really see any possible designes for it's evolution it's just too weird.
It's as useless as Magikarp. It'll get some ridiculous chinese dragon form or something... then turn into godzilla.
Arceus should've been kept back for gen5. I mean [tornado fang], how many legendaries were in gen4?Now this I want to see.
Oh well, with pokegod comes pokedevil!
[tornado fang], just leave pokemon alone! >^<
the series is done! finished! the only thing it needs is a goddamn break!
that and I still haven't completed my national Pokedex on pokemon Emerald. ;O;
I want!!! Omega pokemon!!!!
........ wut? o~O
This game better let you go behind the scenes as a Team Rocket Employee as a plot. ::)
Anyway, yeah. Sceptile. woo.
........ wut? o~O
Omega Pokemon that fights with Arceus. It's like Rockman series. Arceus is X, he can be any type.
"X is the first robot to possess sophisticated technology and behavioral adaptation, based on the last design of Dr. Light."
Maybe they are Pokeroids.
Maybe Chugoku and Shigoku on the real Japan, with Hiroshima and all.
Do you know what I want? A Pokemon gen where I don't have to use the previous generations to catch them all.
I still want customizable trainers.Yes that way we won't have to deal with really weird hats, like with the male trainer in R/S/E, both trainers in D/P/P, and now the female trainer in HG/SS.
both trainers in D/P/PBerets>You.
Berets>You.Is it wrong that I like the classic baseball cap?
I want!!! Omega pokemon!!!!
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/genehf/random/omega.png)Lol we're screwed. XD
Is it wrong that I like the classic baseball cap?
Yeah but it doesn't look good on a guy in my opinion.The French beg to differ.
The French beg to differ.Okay how about this classic berets are okay but not the new ones?
Yeah but it doesn't look good on a guy in my opinion.Dr Roosevelt's GTA:SA LP would beg to differ.
The French beg to differ.Well...those are the French.
Well...those are the French.Exactly I'd rather have a cowboy hat. *shot*
I don't want a beret on my [Top Spin] of a trainer when I have my badass team.
Also, mushroom butt hats on girls.
Exactly I'd rather have a cowboy hat. *shot*
I don't want a beret on my [Top Spin] of a trainer when I have my badass team.The gays are eternally thankful that you have associated them with a Pokemon Trainer with no taste in headgear.

I'm not targeting gays in general, I have no problem with gays.I was joking anyway.
I like the word [Top Spin] too much.
A trainer needs a pair of sunglasses and a scarf. That's about it.Sunglasses?
Sunglasses?
Wasn't one of the trainers already sporting a scarf?Uh all the main character trainers in D/P/P had scarves.
I say the next gen should take place in space.FUND IT
I was joking anyway.Okay, nice to know I didn't offend you.
Uh all the main character trainers in D/P/P had scarves.
Clothing Pokemon. Meaning they're Pokemon that you can also wear: scarves, hats, shoes, etc.
Even dumber than the iPad?
I don't know if this is the greatest idea ever or the craziest but I thought of something: Clothing Pokemon. Meaning they're Pokemon that you can also wear: scarves, hats, shoes, etc. Nintendo could also add HMs that give you attributes according to the clothing Pokemon that you have: the HM used on Shoe Pokemon could make the trainer run faster than the Running Shoes do.ever play snatcher?
I don't know how the rest could work, I'm sure someone else in the topic will figure it out.
...Yeah, I blame/praise Kitsu's post for somehow giving me this idea.
Yeah, the beret just didn't look right on a guy.A Mr.Jamie Hyneman would like a word with you.
A Mr.Jamie Hyneman would like a word with you.

Lessee... 151 Gen1, 100 new ones in Gen2, 135 new ones in Gen3, and 105 new ones in Gen4. The current total is 493. They need at least 107 new ones to break 600. Which they probably will...
Since Arceus is basically God, I have no idea how they'll top it. The birds and cats were elementals (same with the Regis), Celebi was time, Mew was basically the mind (could learn all moves, was psychic-type), Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, were Land, Sea, and Sky, Azelf and them were emotions, and Dialga and Palkia are Time (again) and Space. So what's left?
Also, it's about time for a WOMBAT POKEMON! Make it a starter!
Entei is a lion-like creature that bears resemblance to a Mastiff.Well, Entei is cat-like, yet resembles a dog. Raikou is cat-like. Suicune is dog-like (Wolves are basically wild dogs. Gray Wolf scientific name: Canis Lupus; Pet Dog scientific name: Canis Domesticus. Both part of the Canis genus, or dogs) yet has cat characteristics. Thus, the legendary CATS. (cue AYBABTU joke)
Raikou is a yellow tiger-like creature with black stripes that resemble lightning bolts and a white under-side.
Suicune is a blue wolf-like creature with some feline characteristics, white rhombus-shaped spots and a white underside.
I always heard that they were the Legendary Cats. Hmm...QuoteEntei is a lion-like creature that bears resemblance to a Mastiff.Well, Entei is cat-like, yet resembles a dog. Raikou is cat-like.

Don't apologize to him. He's the Green Ranger. He can be defeated with Wax!Yeah, but an electric force-field can undo that.
In the next episode of Pokemon, Green Ranger kicks everyone's ass, steals pikachu and gives it to Team Rocket, and then blasts off into the sky with his rocket boots.Oh my god, why did I just think of a Pokemon equiv of the Axem Rangers?
Everyone wins.
The three legendaries in Johto were dogs.Raikou was definitely NOT a dog! They're all just "beasts."
Why does it matter, really? Can't we all just call them "Entei-Raikou-Suicune"?
Uh, but... what the hell is the Dunsparce supposed to be?
Ah. But Raikou doesn't resemble a dog! Therefore your point is moot.See, I already conceded my point. Also, I read that too, Ky.
Actually, I don't really care. Cats, dogs, all that matters is that they're Legendary Beasts.
Er...what about the Legendaries? You can't go really go higher than God.Sez who? And why do they have to be higher than god? I don't really see a hierarchy between the 1st-3rd gen legendaries.
Unless they make some sort of Legendary version of normal Pokemon (LEGENDARY EEVEE!) then I don't know what they're gonna do.They already have, it' called Regigigas... In English at least.
Gen4 represented Time, Space, and Deities (once again, with more elements).You forgot parallel universes (Giratina).
Of course, Ho-oh does have the whole rainbow thing going.
What, with pokemon named after the planets? Then that would mean... *counts on fingers* About 7 more legendaries, as more often than not, Earth (or Terra) gets left out of that equation and Pluto's not a planet anymore (which I believe to be bull [parasitic bomb]).

I say we let the damn thing die. It should have died back when the 2nd generation came out.
Why's that?
It should have died back when the 2nd generation came out.Great; another "such-and-such was better because I was an easily [tornado fang]ing impressed eight-year-old when it came out" heckler.
Because with many more games to come, Megaman's suffering from the Scooby-Doo effect. Some new BS thing spewed out every few months. Eventually no one will care about it.HAHAHA, fixing.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2m7f145.png)
What's this [parasitic bomb] then? Found it on Pokemon-Diamond's (http://pokemon-diamond.deviantart.com/) recent journal (Kuribute, is that you on steroids?).
Uploaded this literally ten seconds after it aired! Junichi Masuda's video message showed a silhouette of the new fifth-generation Pokemon codenamed "Z," as you can see below. It is in fact the "Z" from the 13th movie's title, The Ruler of Illusion: Z. This is the first new Pokemon in years! Pokemon Sunday will reveal the Pokemon in full on their February 21st show, which is in two weeks. CoroCoro magazine will be out before then and may reveal it first, though. How exciting is this?!
If I were a betting man? I would think this would be Lucario's next evolution.
But I'd like to be proven wrong, certainly! 8D
Besides...any thing would be preferable to what they did with 4th Gen. "Oh wait! Now we have ANOTHER electric rodent!" -u-'
Ben, I wholeheartly don't want to see another electric rat, either. I'd much see something new, like living statues. :)
And hopefully Nintendo could do some proper balancing too, I still remember those times a few pokemon were broked. Bleh.
If I were a betting man? I would think this would be Lucario's next evolution.Related to Lucario or not I would bet it's going to replace him in Smash4.
I wonder if they'll do anything relating to EVs, though. The finer intricacies of "Pokemon Eugenics" never did anything for me, and as the system is now, I don't see that changing. So I'm interested in seeing what they'll do this time around.Now this, I'd be interested in. The current EV system renders in-game Pokemon worthless for tournament play (without some serious berry pig-outs, anyway) and requires you to re-raise them completely depending on your focus on physical or special attacks. You can't raise an all-rounder the way you could in 1st/2nd gen, and it makes experimenting much more difficult.
Yes I hated the EV system in the newer games, the fact that I try hard to raise my pokemon the normal way and then get beaten by my friends rabid Eevees on EV steroids was not fun at all. And not to mention it's takes way too long for me to even do it and I still mess up.

The stat-experience from the older games just made so much more sense to me. The caps were pretty darn high, but other than that, the fact that the whole story playthrough experience was still valid for higher matches made the game a lot more accessible (not to mention it's nice that your starter is actually worth something at the end). Now you try to raise a team for, say, Battle Revolution's Masters rounds, and God help you if you find out one of your team members needs a new EV spread.

I hate EVs too, Sakura.I mean back when I was like 7 or 10 I only trained my starter pokemon, Bulbasaur, and he was a major tank. I raised him to like level 76 and could take down anything in my path but I gave up because I knew I was doing wrong. I did the same thing with Crystal, with Cyndaquil, but then I stopped doing before the 8th gym and raised other pokemon I caught or got 2 Eevees, Suicune, Skarmory, and a Smoochum. I evolved the Eevees into Umbreon and Jolteon and took the down the elite 4 easily but I just gave up after Gary because I got bored.
This is why I wish they would make a Pokemon game where you can focus on more than just battling if you want.

The one thing I hate about any given generation reveal is the amount of fakes that show up and the misinformation that's bound to appear.What are you talking about, I really did find #152 Pikablu by trading with Pokeymon Purple

Weregarurumon!!!
Well, there are contests...
I like those and all but I'd like to be like a breeder or a ranger or something.One thing I liked about Colosseum: You were actually a renegade from the local evil team. It's the only time in the series history that you play as an established trainer and not some upstart hugging his mom goodbye.

I know right?
I just want a pokemon game where you can choose something other than battling.
Personally I want one where you control the little suckers instead of essentially commanding them. You could make a pretty damn good fighting game with the right set-up, like each move being 'equippable' and costing x amount of points to equip so that the game isn't too broken, but each character still able to level up and whatnot. There's enough bi-pedal 'mons to work with it, and even so, you can still have the four legged Pokemon battle somehow.I don't know it just doesn't seem like fighting game material since you have to capture the pokemon and it's those kinds of games that have to be RPGs like Magination and Dragon Quest Monsters JOKER.
So...you want Dissidia Pocket Monsters?Basically. The only other thing I can think of would be a real time movement system

Just saying.
Wonder what the new Eeveelutions'll be... Dragon type? (Drakeon?) Steel? (Steeleon?) GHOST??? (Spectreon?)
Wonder what the new Eeveelutions'll be...
Why do I get the feeling G5 will involve a Mirror Universe ala Star Trek? *That image of bearded Ash comes to mind*
My guess is that evil Ash IS the Fox.
Looks like your Regional dex #34 and Natl. Dex #352 type.
Just sayin'. And I was guessing the pokedex entry, since seemingly Pikachu will remain #25 in the Pokedex for the rest of the series.
Well, the DS has been done already.
...
Virtual Boy? XD

"Could we see a new method of evolution!?"The evolution of Zorua to Zoroark is a new method to the games.
Well, took me long enough to comment on this. XD
The thing is, I'm more intrigued at the text in the images.

Black? White? No.
They will be Dark, and Light.
And the third game for the fifth gen will be Annihilator. [/MP2]
Perfect. Also [tornado fang] you HG/SS for getting me back into this series. XD
Now I want to actually invest time into getting Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. Ten these games are supposed to be out by fall? [tornado fang].
Watch them be renamed Ebony Version and Ivory Version here.
Damn overly-sensitive fucks in this country.
Oh, and I'll be the first here to say it. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO MORE ZUBATS AND GEODUDES IN CAVES! DXNO >:[
But I'm half black & half white. WHICH ONE WILL I CHOOSE? I MIGHT HAVE TO GET BOTH ON SHEER PRINCIPAL ALONE!

Apparently they're bringing back the same "select your name" conventions from Gen 1 and 2!!!
Here's what they have-
Pokemon White
- White
- Steve
- Chad
- Todd
Pokemon Black
- Black
- Anferny
- TeQuan
- Tyrese
Official.
Here's the choices for female characters:
Pokemon White

Pokemon Black

- Condoleezza
Official.
Mirby wins this round. I lost it at TeQuan. XD XD XD
Wait, what? Jamal isn't on the list for Pokémon Black?You just made me lol
Also, there should be only one beginner in each game.
Black will have Jynx.
White will maybe have Mr. Mime.
No, Blues. THE TIME HAS COME! "One drop" principle states that the choice is CLEAR for you, my brutha! 8D
Any way, interesting that they went straight monochrome this time. I wonder if that was for an actual reason, and not just cuz they didn't have any better picks for colors/basic elements. Could this going back to such basic colors mean some thing more...?
For example, one thing I've always thought was interesting was how there's been a thing of how the games told snippets of what the world was like back in the olden days of man and mon. In HG/SS, they even went forth to tell you that Apricots used to be the way they got [parasitic bomb] done when they wanted to catch some Mons. So, I'm wondering...maybe instead of just going to a new region, this time, maybe they could throw us for a loop and into the context of an older era, itself. One where we have to use the Apricots, and get access to a slew of Pokemon that would otherwise be possibly extinct in the "modern" era.
If nothing else, it could be an opportunity for a nice change, storyline and aesthetic-wise, even as a number of things still remain the same. (Re: instead of "gyms", it could be "dojos" dedicated to a certain type of Pokemon instead. 8D)
Not to mention Celebi being at least ONE Pokemon that can time travel would always leave the opportunity for these types of shenanigans to take place in the first place... 8D
Story? LoL, I just wanna be the best like no one ever was!To catch them is my real test..
TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE!I will travel across the land!
Pokemon!
It's you and me.

Apparently not. D:
The first CoroCoro magazine scans have been leaked on to the Internet, revealing game screenshots of Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. The magazine dedicated two pages to the news, both of which are below along with close-up images of some of their sections; click them for larger images.
The female character is wearing a pink and white hat, pink clothing, and has a ponytail; the male character is wearing blue clothing, has bushy hair, and is apparently wearing the same hat, but turned backwards. Judging by the screenshot where the clerk is talking to the female player in the Pokemon Center’s Poke Mart, it appears that characters will now speak through speech bubbles. In terms of graphics, the battle system seems to have been overhauled, showing the full back sprite of Zoroark instead of just its upper body. Next to the screenshot where the male character is standing on the bridge, CoroCoro mentions that players will be able to ride a never-before-seen vehicle. There appears to be some sort of car next to the bridge, so perhaps it is the vehicle in question. Other than this blurb, CoroCoro does not reveal anything significant about the games other than the obvious fact that they will rely more heavily on 3D graphics, as seen in the various terrains.
It might just be the scans, but it looks like the nurse at the Pokemon Center has brown hair. Either Nurse Joy is trying a new style or she’s simply not Nurse Joy, which could mean we are far, far away from the past four regions (where the Joys have not reproduced like bunnies and invaded). The PC inside the Pokemon Center seems pretty retro too - it uses a CRT monitor rather than the modern LCD screens the modern, real-world uses and that the past few games have used. Different time, different place? And then there’s black and white, old “colors.” I could be looking too much into all of this, though. :D
Pokemon Sunday will announce the games on their show tomorrow morning in Japan, which is actually this afternoon in U.S. time. When they do, we’ll post all the information they reveal, so be sure to check back here later today!

Apr 09 16:15:35 <OCRE> But I'm talking about gameplay elements
Apr 09 16:15:39 <OCRE> how do you want that to change
Apr 09 16:15:39 <Mirby> hmm...
Apr 09 16:15:43 <OCRE> or how do you think that could change
Apr 09 16:15:53 <Mirby> More 2-on-2 battles; more animation and interaction between the pokemon
Apr 09 16:16:02 <OCRE> i was thinking, better battle backgrounds. and having weather effects be more passiev
Apr 09 16:16:02 <Mirby> Or the trainers when they pop in
Apr 09 16:16:04 <OCRE> passive*
Apr 09 16:16:10 <Mirby> Yeah...
Apr 09 16:16:22 <OCRE> like, have it actually keep raining instead of just off an on telling you "it's rainig"
Apr 09 16:16:24 <OCRE> raining*
Apr 09 16:16:25 <BardicKnowledge> emphasis on team battles -- let's see 3v3 battles instead of just 2v2. Also, weather effects have a stronger effect on combat that doesn't always benefit one side or the other
Apr 09 16:16:34 <Mirby> More cutscenes such as the Groudon/Kyogre battle and Rayquaza's intervention in Emerald
Apr 09 16:16:38 <OCRE> 3 vs 3 huh?
Apr 09 16:16:39 <Mirby> Those were cool; I loved that
Apr 09 16:16:41 <OCRE> i duno about that
Apr 09 16:16:42 <BardicKnowledge> for instance, water attacks are stronger in water
Apr 09 16:16:43 <Mirby> yeah 3v3
Apr 09 16:16:59 <Mirby> Ice is 1.5x damage in water
Apr 09 16:17:00 <OCRE> they need to de-noobify grass
You shouldn't. They're really good.Truth.
Apr 09 16:16:25 <BardicKnowledge> Also, weather effects have a stronger effect on combat that doesn't always benefit one side or the other
Apr 09 16:16:42 <BardicKnowledge> for instance, water attacks are stronger in water
Apr 09 16:16:43 <Mirby> yeah 3v3
Apr 09 16:16:59 <Mirby> Ice is 1.5x damage in water
who gives a damn about new visuals in a Pokemon game
It's all about the gameplay, amirite?
It's about the underage pokemon girls.
I like the socks. Everything else can go.
Or at least keep the pony tail. I'm a sucker for pony tails! 8)

This is reborn as a new revolutionary Pokemon experience.
Some people will complain anyway. No matter how good.
"no 8-way movement."
As can most people in real life. Now back to Pokémon.
EDIT: It's very likely that it's been pointed out earlier, but actually looking at the image of the Pokémon Center, it looks more like a Center and Mart fused.

It's fake, but couldn't hurt to post. :v
Had to LOL at Moofy. That's actually a pretty good idea.
Kinda glad it's fake, though. They REALLY went overboard on the oddball type combinations. And all the new dragons look mediocre.
What about Skarmory?
I just think that female Machoke and Machamp are rather disturbing.
What about Skarmory?
Well, he's busy RL so...*shakes fist*
Wait, aren't the Regi's supposed to be a trio and trio master?Supposed is so last season. 8D
I blame Harruhy... >_>
These details come from the latest Famitsu issue...
- travel on elevated paths in certain areas
- one-stop-shop section featuring PokeMart, Pokemon Center and Global Terminal in a single building
- dynamic camera angles during battle
- realistic shadows
- "As you can tell from the screenshots, Pokemon Black/White's adventure takes place in an area different in nature from before. The new story that unfolds in this place, along with the never-seen-before Pokemon you'll encounter, will allow both old fans and people who haven't played the other games to enjoy the experience without preconceptions." - Pokemon company rep

Black & White Starters to be revealed this month
The first details of the Pokémon Sunday episode due for airing in Japan on May 16th have come and have indicated that part of the show will feature details about the three starter Pokémon of Pokémon Black & White among various other Black & White details. This episode is to be titled Latest Pokémon Games & Movies Scoop Special (ポケモン最新ゲーム&映画のスクープ連発スペシャル!). If this holds true, then it is highly likely that we will get the Starter Pokémon within CoroCoro which is due for release on May 15th, but we'll likely get it earlier at the start of next week.
Speaking of which... NEW POKEMANS
FIRE/WATER! LIBRA SCALES FOR STARTER! -_-That guy looked so stupid...
Grass/ground types please.Torterra, fool.
FINE, then a ghost-fighting type.That's more like it.
How about FIRE/DRAGON. I can't recall if we've had a FIRE/DRAGON type yet, which would kinda make sense!
I would agree with this if it weren't horribly broken for a starter. Basically, unless they introduce dragon types/moves into the game veeery early, you're looking at a Pokemon that is normal or highly resistant to everything not Dragon type. XDAnd ice.

......I fail to see a problem here! 8D...
It would... How about a dragon/ghost...Giratina
Water/Bug. It has only 3 weaknesses and 5 resistances.Surskit, unfortunately.
Speculation hooo!I don't know the one that seems grass looks like a plant rather than a animal this time and the one that seems to be a racoon seems to look like a beaver or otter to me. But if that's a fire rabbit that's probably the one I'll choose with no hesitation.
A grass duck, a fire rabbit, and a water racoon. 8D
I still like a levitating Dragon/Steel... That's only weak to Fighting moves...Well, given that Levitate would be its only edge over Dialga, we'd basically be looking at a repeat of the Flygon/Garchomp situation we have now. I personally would rather see a levitating Fire/Dragon.
Dialga was SO close...
But yeah, Fire/Dragon is unseen yet.
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/128/c/5/pokemonBW_starter_trans_by_emlan.png)One of them looks like it came out of a Dr. Seuss book.
Someone's ideas based on the silhouettes.
Well, given that Levitate would be its only edge over Dialga, we'd basically be looking at a repeat of the Flygon/Garchomp situation we have now. I personally would rather see a levitating Fire/Dragon.Would it be bad if I said that I prefer a Salamance anyway?
Seriously, I don't know what they were thinking with Garchomp. I'd almost swear they were trying to troll the fan-tournament players; if there is such a thing as a borderline between OU and Uber, then Garchomp is the textbook definition of it.
Well, given that Levitate would be its only edge over Dialga, we'd basically be looking at a repeat of the Flygon/Garchomp situation we have now.It's Pokemon. It's bound to happen sooner or later. XD
Dragonite has and always will be great. I can't have a finished team without one. <3I don't get the problem either. Honestly it's a great balance of types that is in an elemental triangle that diffuses each other out so that no pokemon is overly powerful. The key is to raise said pokemon right to be your ace of spades so to speak like with me and Torchic and Totodile. If you're pokemon is over powered from the get go then there's really no point of raising them quikely since you don't have to worry until a higher leveled pokemon shows up.
On a side note (and more related to the current topic) what's wrong with Fire/Water/Grass starters?
*shrug*Ooh a fire beaver, racoon or teddy bear I like that.
Also, GameSaver found this:
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8994/starterpokemontogethers.jpg)
Most convincing to me.
Where did he find them btw?The picture link, is the same link he showed me on IRC.
It almost looks like a fox and a racoon went crazy one day...God that Zoology class I'm taking is sure taking a toll on me. -u-'Sorry, but that cracked me up. >0<
I remember cleaning house with a Ty that rocked Rollout, Flamethrower, Earthquake, and Dynamicpunch (easily the weakest link, only for its God awful accuracy). I always wanted to try and be more creative with my 'mons movesets, but I didn't really have the avenue to until this gen.
*shrug*

Interesting, you have to wonder about the evolution for the red panda of fire though, what will he become? Giant fire panda of doom?Even so, it is still too early to confirm this.
and Water pig eh, should have noticed the tail.
TyphosionTyphlosion is the single Pokemon who most makes me miss the old "stat experience" system. It made mixed attackers a lot more viable, and a Fire-type with both Thunderpunch and Earthquake could bust a lot of heads. These days that's not practical anymore unless you use Flare Blitz as your STAB move, which means lots of recoil and, in Typhlosion's case, ignoring his stronger attack stat.
Yeah that's true but when AI don't ever switch it's pretty helpful especially when you use defense curl first.You want to talk AI abuse? Fighting against Blue, I had Jirachi wall his Exeggutor, soaking up enough Leaf Storms to send his Special Attack through the floor, then Flash his accuracy into nothing. Switch in Dragonite, build up SIX Dragon Dances, and enjoy the destruction.
*shrug*Something about that middle one scares me to no end.

Will and the other guy won with both of their Dragon pokemon using Outrage and Will's Metagross using Explosion. All of them were out of pokemon except for Will who still had 2 pokemon in wait. Oh and it might [acid burst] you off that Will's dragon type is a Garchomp.
The *ONLY* reason that was not a clean sweep was two Intimidates and a Roar later (I was using Extremespeed for accuracy; didn't have Dragon Claw or Outrage). Nevertheless, wiping up the broken pieces of his team after that was easy pickings.
I mean this is the very reason I'm training 10 pokemon, and possibly more when White comes out, so I can cover my weaknesses and such.

Before the scans came out, some new information was posted on 2ch including the region name which turned out true, classifications matching the Pokémon's appearance and the aforementioned possible Pokémon names. This information detailled some attacks, classifications, Zoroark's ability and the special event from the beasts. I have decided to post it with thanks to yaminokame for translation. Remember though that the following information is NOT confirmed yet.
* The Grass Starter, Tsutaja (ツタージャ) is the Grass Snake Pokémon
* The Fire Starter, Pokabu (ポカブ)is the Fire Pig Pokémon
* The Water Starter, Mijumaru (ミジュマル) is the Sea Otter Pokémon
* Zoroark has an ability called Illusion (イリュージョン) which will allow it to transform into various Pokémon. How it differs from the move Transform remains to be seen.
* Two new attacks have been announced;
o A move called Trickery (イカサマ) seems to allow the attack to be calculated using the opponent's stats
o Another move called Claw Sharpen (つめとぎ) raises the user's Attack and Accuracy stats
* The special event activated by the special Raikou, Entei & Suicune given with the upcoming movie; Phantom Champion Zoroark has been detailled. In this event, when you bring the beasts (it is unclear if it's all three or just one)to the game, a special battle will occur. This battle is against a Level 25 Zoroark which will transform into the various Pokémon. At many points, it will break its transformation to allow you to capture it.
Remember, this information is NOT Confirmed as of yet and so it's quite possible that this information is indeed inaccurate.
Has this been posted yet?
I like the girl. Really.

Clearly a lizardExcuse me Nintendo, wtf are you doing?
The male trainer's hairstyle looks very... Jaden. I don't know how else to put it."very Judai."
the only one i actually like out of the three is the treecko looking oneWhy do I get the feeling that that one is going to evolve into some kind of sumg crocodile/aligator?
Female trainer reminds me of Miley Cirus.

[tornado fang] that Fire Starter, it's a god damn pig.
I'll name mine P-chan.

I thought you couldn't see [parasitic bomb] already? :D
I'll name mine Pumbaa depending on how his final evolutionary stage comes out. XDWhere's the meerkat to name Timon?
Well played. XDThanks!
New pictures!
http://pokebeach.com/
Nintendo is trying VERY hard to hide the fact that B&W will have a dynamic camera: They make sure every battle pic is from the traditional angle. However! Notice that the "disks" are jagged edged: They are clearly polygons, moving in a 3d environment! Also, you can notice that the disks are in SLIGHTLY different positions in each picture. The pokemon are definitely battling in 3D.
GOLDEN SUN BATTLE STYLE CONFIRMED
I still think the female trainer looks a bit CephiYumi-like
Female trainer reminds me of Miley Cirus
Or it could be Fire/Flying, that'd just be hilarious.Bah! Only when pigs can fly!
Cephi, don't listen to Nova. He can be a bit of an idiot at times."at times"? more like always
Also, sweet link! ^_^
"at times"? more like always
Man, it's been months. You aren't allowed to argue about that [parasitic bomb] anymore, unless you've got a time machine.Yarg. I went to the first unread post and it took me to that page.
The preview section in this month's CoroCoro magazine states that June 15th's issue will feature a new Pokemon as well as information on how to evolve Zorua into Zoroark (and of course new screenshots, info, etc.). Scans of the issue will likely leak on to the Internet between June 10th and 12th, and it is possible an upcoming Pokemon Sunday episode could feature the Pokemon's silhouette (probably the June 6th episode, if any).
Random question, is anyone NOT planning on giving a bacon related nickname to their fire starter? I find the temptation hard to resist XDI shall dub mine, Baconator!
I shall dub mine, Baconator!in b4 Wendy's
Random question, is anyone NOT planning on giving a bacon related nickname to their fire starter? I find the temptation hard to resist XDHaving just seen The Simpsons Movie, I was thinking more along the lines of SwineTorch.
So, Zoark has his own beast trio that has a rivalry with shiny beasts, or something?Looks more like he can transform into them to me.

Seriously, though, why are all the weird animals used as fire starters? Chicken, monkey, pig? Every new one makes me miss Charizard and Typhlosion that much more.
The move is called Illusion.It's not a move, it's Zoroark's ability. ._.
ability
Say, is there any kind of information of the Effort Value System out here yet? I want to know, if Nintendo has finally decided to remove that stupid 510 EV limitation.As in, one would be able to invest all EVs in one stat? That would be nice.

yeah man and i hope they raise the level cap to 200 and remove autolevelling when you battle people 'cause grinding is just SO MUCH FUNI don't think that was insinuated anywhere.
POINTLESS GRIND WOO WOO I LOVE IT
We've had this conversation before. He wants the EV cap raised to 1512, so he'll be able to max out every stat. This, y'know, makes EVs completely pointless, 'cause with no choice in their placement, they add nothing but something else to grind before your pokemon are battle worthy, but hey, it's a good idea anyway, right? Because only being able to max out two stats so you have to actually think about what you want your pokemon to do is just so restrictive.
You know what until I know what his final form looks like I'll call him Porkchop.
* Pokemon battles are much more dynamic - the camera moves around and zooms in and out and the Pokemon are not just standing there with one picture hopping up and down. Rather, the sprites are constantly animated.
* Zorua and Zoroark's Illusion ability does not change their Darkness type. When encountering them, they use the sprite of the Pokemon they are imitating and their name as well, though we still do not know how it is determined what Pokemon they imitate. We also don't know yet how to figure out you are battling a disguised Zorua or Zoroark. Perhaps they can only use their own moves, and once you see a Claw Sharpen coming out of an Oddish, you'll think it's a Zorua or Zoroark. And of course they transform back into themselves during the battle, though we don't know what the requirements are for this yet (Hit them with an attack? Weaken them?). In one of the previous screenshots, Raikou used Aura Sphere against Zoroark and it changed back to its real form, so maybe only super effective attacks will cause them to reveal themselves?
* When you run by people, they can talk to you without you hitting A on them.
Well, for Psychic and Ghost types it looks natural to not have an idlle animation :P
Judging by that pic there, and claims that the new land is somewhere far away, I have a theory. Whereas I've heard claims that it's NEW YORK and stuff... judging by that bridge, I feel it might be more likely to be San Francisco.Actually, I think that makes sense if only because it's a shorter distance from Japan to California than Japan to New York :P
Or maybe the speculation is just dumb.
HAIL! HITLAR!! XD, *sigh* bad joke.You wrote it false.
i can't wait until they introduce some more new moves like stealth fire balls or something
Umm... Thanatos, I think he was writing it as a Pokémon's name, like Tyranitar...Ah yes Tyranitar... The tyrant under the lizards just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex. In japan called Bangiras his name means, if the database I visited is correct, the barbarian which hates. In german we dubbed him Despotar... The despot under the lizards. All what he is, is hommage to Godzilla. However I cannot imagine him as a fascist.
I think you still missed the point. He wasn't calling him Tyranitar, he just gave him a Pokémon-like name. I used Tyranitar as an example... *facewall* *hits stud* *facewall* *breaks through stud*
Nevertheless the example you gave, was actually a good one, but why don't you ask theOnly about what he really meant?TheOnly is just making a joke (a bit of a lame one) at the presenter in the Pokemon Sunday show.
I have only cared about the Hitlergruß he has written.
And will Flash regain its HM status in this gen? :DNo.
Say what you want about Flash, but Defog was a new low.You can say that again I mean it's easier to get around a foggy area than a dark cave but the fequent misses [acid burst] me off.
was it still in Platinum?of course it was
Besides Surf, HM moves in general tend to be crap.BUT FLY IS AWESOME TOO
Besides Surf, HM moves in general tend to be crap. Say what you want about Flash, but Defog was a new low.
Strenght/Rock Climb is quite decent if your pokemon is a physical attacker
Yeah, Defog was completely unnecessary, good thing because I never taught it to anything >_> And I disagree about the other statement, Fly is good for ingame, and Waterfall/Strenght/Rock Climb is quite decent if your pokemon is a physical attacker, Whirlpool on the other hand...did they really need to bring it back? ::)Waterfall is only useful NOW because of the 4th Gen special split. In that way, you're correct, but in the last two generations, it was worthless.
Yes but I'm talking only about HMs ingame, I'm not talking about the metagame since I know there are better options. I'm just saying that for moves that you're forced to use they're not too bad.If it's inferior, it's inferior. By all means, Strength is passable, yes. But whether you're against a human or a CPU doesn't change the fact that it's an inferior attack strength to your other options.
Maybe they should just let badges just automatically let certain Pokemon do out-of battle stuff without the need of a HM. HMS then could just turn into TMs unrelated to out-of battle actions.Just annoyed? I can't match the Elite Four with ROCK SMASH.
HMs just...get too much in the way, I suppose. They're a pain, what with being magically unlearn-able unless you bring it to some mind-warping man in some city. I get annoyed easily sometimes.
If it's inferior, it's inferior. By all means, Strength is passable, yes. But whether you're against a human or a CPU doesn't change the fact that it's an inferior attack strength to your other options.
They're a pain, what with being magically unlearn-able unless you bring it to some mind-warping man in some city.From a gameplay standpoint, it's necessary to prevent you from trapping yourself. Suppose you lack Fly, you fight somebody on an island, and forget Surf? Or you forget Strength in the middle of a cave?
You can't "waste" an HM, it's infinitely reusable.
It's nice to use a Flying-type without the move Fly on it for a change.
From a gameplay standpoint, it's necessary to prevent you from trapping yourself. Suppose you lack Fly, you fight somebody on an island, and forget Surf? Or you forget Strength in the middle of a cave?True.
Hm, you know, if they were to make HMs usable by the trainer directly, I think Teleport would have to replace Fly. It'd be pretty weird for a disc to enable kids to soar through the air.

I love the Outlaw Star engine that Zekrom has on his ass!Looks like some kinda drill.
Maybe Zekron is looking for the Galactic Leyline.

Holy [parasitic bomb], this is just as bad as my sister telling me that the speedometers near the base of the steering wheel in Galaxy 2's hub makes it look like a Totoro. I can't unsee this [parasitic bomb]. XD
If you're gonna make a obvious copy pokemon could you at least copy a design that isn't y'know awful? It's been like seven years since Metagross was designed, and the best you've managed to come up with is this scruffy looking bird and its evil clone?I don't see it.
......THANKS A LOT.

I'm still indecisive over which version to play when the time comes.So does that mean you never got an iPod video?
Previous games I was able to decide on which version I think sounded better, or the colour I preferred.
But with black and white, I hate both.
I'm gonna be contemplating this for a long...long time.
The Daisuki Club (http://www.pokemon.jp/portal/index.cfm) on the official Japanese Pokemon website is now calling Reshiram and Zekrom the "Legendary Dragon Pokemon," meaning they will at least be part Dragon-type like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Their second type, if any, is not yet known at this time.
Larger versions of Black and White's box art have been released, revealing that both games will have enhanced features for the Nintendo DSi (click the thumbnail below for a larger image). If you look at the bottom right of each box, you will see their game code. The first part of the code - "TWL" - is Nintendo's way of denoting that the games are enhanced for the DSi. Most DS games are labeled "NTR," meaning there is no difference in their features when playing them on the first DS, the DS Lite, or the DSi. So, what will these enhanced features be? Well, we don't know yet obviously!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/4rwdcm.jpg) (http://i49.tinypic.com/4rwdcm.jpg)
Additionally, the Daisuki Club sent out an e-mail to its members stating some basic factoids about the version differences between the two games; thanks go to Yaminokame for translating it below! What could the bold statement be referring to?
What are the differences between Pocket Monsters Black and Pocket Monsters White?
Other than how to meet the legendary Pokemon Reshiram and Zekrom, things like encountered Pokemon and
Pokemon encounter rates differ between the two versions! You can enjoy trading Pokemon that only appear in one
version by using the local wireless and Wi-Fi connections with your family, friends, and players from all over the
country! There is another big version difference as well, which we will reveal later! We'll keep showing you
detailed information on the Pokemon Daisuki Club website! Don't miss it!!
And last but not least, Zoroark.com (http://www.zoroark.com/) was registered back in late February and now redirects to Pokemon.com (http://www.pokemon.com/). This pretty much confirms that Zoroark will keep its Japanese name for the English games. Like Manaphy, Darkrai, Reshiram, and Zekrom, special or popular Pokemon are always made into .com's and redirected to the English Pokemon website.
More info, such as: Reshiram and Zekrom's Type; Games Enhanced for DSi; Zoroark's English Name.Same crappy differences as always to make the quick buck.
Hehe, the differences are still the same.Let's hope that it's only something small, like uhh... own photo in the Trainer Card.
And what? Enchancement for playing on the DSi?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Most DS games are labeled "NTR"
NTR
Netorare (寝取られ) are games where someone steals the heroine away from the protagonist.
These types of games are designed to cause the player to have sexual jealousy.
Hehe, the differences are still the same.

Anyone else notice the slightly different colors on Mijumaru's posterboard in the background of Pokabu? Alt color?

Prepare for glomping.
Let's hope that it's only something small, like uhh... own photo in the Trainer Card.Coincidentantly, I'll thinking it might have something to do with the camera.
Another idea: since those games apparently are about the sky becoming light and dark (by PokéBeach's latest news (http://pokebeach.com/2010/05/meanings-for-reshiram-and-zekrom-names-clues-for-black-white)), maybe cameras will act as a light sensor, like in Boktai?God no. It was bad enough to wait for daytime back then. >_>

Nakagawa Shoko, the hostess of Japanese variety show Pokémon Sunday recently posted an entry into her blog possibly revealing Zekrom’s type. Shoko wrote she would love to voice Zekrom in a movie because Electric is her favourite Pokémon type. The blog post was then later removed which leads us to believe that Zekrom will be Dragon/Electric type, the fact that the blog was removed strengthens the rumour.Source (http://www.pokemonaus.com/?p=739)
This still isn’t confirmed but for now it seems quite likely, this would also make Zekrom the first Electric/Dragon type Pokémon.
Maybe Zekron is looking for the Galactic Leyline.This game will be ruined forever if Dragonite doesn't learn Pay Day.

Sigh, breaking from the mold could mean changing the genre...The reason why I pretty much never, ever play JRPGs. Involving stories = WATCHING A DAMN MOVIE.
The very notion of JRPG is "you have to follow a crappy storyline like a movie and grind your characters like some crazy mofo".
Sigh, breaking from the mold could mean changing the genre...The Pokemon mold is very, very tight. Of all the games to use the turn-based mechanics, in only one side-story (again, Colosseum) were you ever *NOT* playing as a child prodigy upstaging the experienced trainers.
Yeah... but you know as well as I do that they'll never do that.Well, I would at the very least like it for some minor things, not like I ever thought of Pokemon as a story-heavy game series. At the very least side quests to flesh you, the main character, out.
Am I the only one that thinks that the concept of Pokemon would better work in a turn-based strategy mechanic?That would actually make the size issue of Pokémon alot more notacle and multiplayer matches of Mewtwo versus Ratatta wouldn't be as even. 8D
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=126413Whoa. The freaking system for which it's going to be designed isn't even out yet.
Oh GameStop.
Whoa. The freaking system for which it's going to be designed isn't even out yet.As far as I know, it is.
I think...
This isn't a DS title, right?
- The white Pokemon is named Chiramii (チラーミィ). It is the Chinchilla Pokemon, a Normal-type. Its abilities are Cute Charm or Technician and it knows a new movie called "Sweep Slap," which hits the opponent multiple times. It is 0.4m tall and 5.8kg in weight.
- The pink Pokemon is named Mun'na (ムンナ). It is the Dream Eater Pokemon, a Psychic-type, and has Forewarn and Synchronize as its abilities. A new attack it knows is "Telekinesis," which makes the opponent float in the air. It is 0.6m tall and 23.3kg in weight.
- The mechanical Pokemon below is the Gear Pokemon, appropriately named Gear (ギアル). It is a Steel-type and its ability is either "Plus" or "Minus." It has a new attack called "Gear Saucer," which you can see it using i below - it attacks the opponent multiple times with both of its gears. It is 0.3m tall and weighs 21.0kg.
- Mamepato (マメパト) is the Baby Pidgeon Pokemon and is a Normal / Flying type. Its abilities are either "Pidgeon Breast" or "Super Luck." In a screenshot below, Mijumaru tries to lower its Defense, but it doesn't work because of one of Mamepato's abilities prevents it. It is 0.3m tall and weighs 2.1kg.
- Hihidaruma (ヒヒダルマ) is the Flaming Pokemon, a Fire-type. Its ability is "Encourage." It is 1.3m tall and weighs 92.9kg.
- Shimama (シママ) is the Charged Pokemon, Electric, and has "Lightningrod" or "Motor Drive" as its abilities. It has a new attack called "Wild Volt," which does a lot of damage but also hurts the user. It is 0.8m tall and 29.8kg.
- Meguroko (メグロコ) is the Desert Crocodile Pokemon, a Ground / Dark type. Its abilities are Intimidate and "Earthquake Spiral," the latter of which raises its Attack stat when it knocks out a Pokemon.
- The professor of Isshu is female and named Professor Araragi, as you can see below. She presents a Chiramii to the player in the "World of Pokemon" intro at the start of the game. The rumors we posted yesterday may also be true too, since Professor Araragi's name was among them (some of the rumors have actually been circulating since April, including her name).
- There is some sort of new in-game connection device called the C Gear. It has "various connection capabilities," though we do not know what that means at this time. To the left of its screenshot below, the magazine says, "What's this screen!?... It looks like a new wireless feature was added!"
- There is a new feature called Random Match, which you can access from the Global Terminal inside Pokemon Centers. It will allow players to randomly battle other players over the Internet. It then says that you can work together over the Internet by uploading your Black and White save file to play against other opponents (?!).
And here I thought that the Pokémon designs couldn't get any uglier anymore. I was wrong.Yeah, and the second gen Pokemon were the forefront of artistic design even though every single [tornado fang]ing gen looks generally the same? Yeah, you're totally not being a nostalgiaturd.

Are we eventually gonna have enough Pokémon regions to make a country, or an actual planet-wide world map?I think the first 4 are already big enough to be some kind of country.

Um is it wrong that I have a partiality to Gen 3?
Who gives a damn about the babies?Apparently you do because NOTHING BEATS SECOND GEN!!!!!!!
Second Generation was the only one that really felt like an overall improvement of Pokémon to me, while all the other generations since felt more like a cashcow. Yeah, they got some new features, but I think that the Pokémon themselves looked more and more uninspired, if not downright stupid (especially since certain types continue to repeat themselves, the Pokémon in the first regions of the games especially).Wow, I didn't know you could copy-paste!
Who gives a damn about the babies?
Wow, I didn't know you could copy-paste!
the series was suppose to end with Gen 2help me i'm being trolled
Completely ignore the fact that the series was suppose to end with Gen 2, why don't you.That may be true but I still like Gen 3.
Proving that everything after is a "cashcow" as Ben put it.
help me i'm being trolled
First gen's still the best. It's the one that got 90% of the players hooked. And the one with fonder memories for me.
lolwat (http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=117054)Okay, but that got axed. Are you still going to be fixated on that or something and wave a sign around saying that someone should go back in time to destroy the third and fourth gen and save pokeymanz?

Wait... there's a region missing... but I don't know which one... but you all knew that already.But all's there... Well except Isshu of course.
help me i'm being trolledI don't know, you seem to be do the same thing in my eyes as well.
But all's there... Well except Isshu of course.Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, only three regions marked on the map of Japan... I CAN'T UNSEE
I don't know, you seem to be do the same thing in my eyes as well.This wasn't just OPINIONS OPINIONS; some people are whining because the fifth gen isn't the second gen, and quite frankly, when you've heard this for a year straight, you kinda get tired of it.
It's all just opinions of who loves what generation.
Do we really want to take it SO far?
This is a warning to all and any other further opinions on the subject of Gen2. It's enough. We all get the point. Move on to the fifth gen, or just ignore.
Doppler: Kanto and Johto are linked... even though it looks like one, it counts as two. Hoenn's in the southwest rotated 90 degrees, and Sinnoh's on the northeast end.GUHHHHUHGBLBARGHBLGRAGH I should've known...

I mean, these people say "THE DESIGNS ARE UNORIGINAL" one moment, then they say "THE DESIGNS ARE LAZY". Which [tornado fang]ing one is it? There is just no pleasing these freaks.
Haters gonna hate, or so they say. No point arguing with them; you'd be better off talking to a brick wall. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, just as you are entitled to yours. There's no point in further arguing.
Plus, Wily said stop. So stop.
Uh can we go on to talking about what the evolved forms of the new pokemon are going to look like?
I can't wait to see Pokabu's. I hope it's some kind of wild Boar with magma tusks!Again as long as it's not going to be part fighting I'll love it.
Is that new mouse thing gonna be in the top percentage of new mouse things?Not sure so far the mice weren't normal types.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/ibi5vm.jpg)
Have a look at that region. :v
I doubt it'll be Fire/Fighting again.Now that I would love because I love dark types, but that could mean he could look evil....or smug.
It could possibly be Dark/Fire.
Now that I would love because I love dark types, but that could mean he could look evil....or smug.
Eh I usually do what I usually do, I pick the second mentioned one, besides and electric dragon seems intresting.
Since you guys are posting about the pig's evolution I need to repost this because I really want the evo to be something like it...
(http://i44.tinypic.com/16c2yw5.jpg)
Also, honestly, I want to see wotter's evo much more than the other two.
- Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.
Yeah it does as well. But I've been wanting a Dragon/Fire for the longest time now.Well according to the type chart both pokemon have exactly 3 2x weaknesses. The fire dragon has three .5 resistants and two .25 resistants while the electric dragon has five .5 resistants and one .25 resistant. judging by these results and designs the fire dragon will be faster and probably a special attacker while the electric dragon will be more on defense.
That evo would make me happy. Hell, I still want DarkWaltz's Psychic/Fire kitty!
Also, this (http://pokebeach.com/2010/06/munma-referenced-in-first-generation-games).This. Is. Brilliant. XD
And I still claim that the grass starter will be a smug croc or gator.
But it's a snake...Snakes don't have legs. The closest thing it could be besides a croc or gator is a skink.
...Okay they really skipped zoology class, snakes can't have legs.
Exactly, honestly, I'm sure that as it evolves it will lose its limbs, and in an interesting twist they should make his final evo a grass/flying and have him as some sort of quetzalcoatl.Hmm maybe but I always thought a quetzacoatl would be electric flying...maybe it's only because of Final Fantasy 8 and quezacolt that I'm thinking this. Also thanks to the DBZ abrigded series I now think it kinda reminds me of Yoshi...I don't know why.
@Wily: Exactly, honestly, I'm sure that as it evolves it will lose its limbs, and in an interesting twist they should make his final evo a grass/flying and have him as some sort of quetzalcoatl.But that could mean he's 4x weak against Ice-types! D:
Maybe Smugleaf will be a Chupacabra?
Snakes don't have legs. The closest thing it could be besides a croc or gator is a skink.
Zekrom's ability is named "Teravoltage," not "Terra Voltage." "Tera" is a prefix that means one trillion, which I guess means it can generate a great deal of electricity with its tail generator (a trillion volts?).
Zorua and Zoroark are event-exclusive Pokemon. They do not appear during normal gameplay, at least in Black and White. Therefore, you can only get the two if you preorder a ticket to The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark and trade over one of the shiny Legendary Beasts (to encounter Zoroark) and if you download the movie Celebi from the theaters and trade it over (to get Zorua).BULLSHIT

he official Japanese Pokemon website has updated with clearer screenshots and artwork of the Black and White content from the leaked CoroCoro magazine scans. You can click all of the images below to enlarge them, excluding the last few screenshots. The Pokemon art below is transparent.
The major piece of information revealed on the website is the purpose of uploading your Black and White save file to the Internet, which CoroCoro mentioned but did not elaborate on. Once the games are released, there will be a special website that will allow you to upload your save file so that you can play Black and White on the Internet. Once you're done, you can send the save file back to your DS to continue playing. Whether this will allow you to play the games in full, whether there will be limitations, or if it's just for extended content remains to be seen. We'll bring you more as soon as we find out!
Hidden away within CoroCoro's page about Celebi & Zorua in Black & White, there is a screenshot that gives some minor details about the transfer method. In the games, there is a machine called the Pok駑on Transfer Machine (転送マシンでポケモン). The screenshot simply states that Celebi is being transferred through the Pok駑on Transfer Machine. This appears to be the method of transferring the Pok駑on from your 4th Generation games to your 5th Generation ones. This is to be done over the standard local wireless and appears to be one at a time. It is necessary to send Celebi & the shiny beasts obtained from the 13th movie over to Black & White to obtain Zorua & Zoroark. It is currently unknown if there are any limits to the Pok駑on Transfer Machine similar to the original Pal Park restrictions in Diamond & Pearl.
The official site also elaborates into the C Gear. It also shows on the menu and in the C-Gear that there are three methods of communication; Wireless, WiFi and IR (InfraRed) and you can use the C Gear with all three. These options are shown in the battle menu so it'll be able to tell when you're battling in any of those. These options are running while you're in actual gameplay as opposed to in a Union Room. To what extent, is not yet known.
Reshiram - It blows flames that completely burn its surroundings. It is said that its heat moves Earth's atmosphere.Therefore, Zekrom - Dragon/Electric, Reshiram - Dragon/Fire.
Zekrom - It has been passed down that it creates electricity using the generator in its body, flying around the skies of the Isshu region and hiding itself in thunderclouds.
Therefore, Zekrom - Dragon/Electric, Reshiram - Dragon/Fire.Likely, but not certain. Recall, Lugia uses water powers, yet is Flying/Psychic. Groudon uses fire/solar powers, yet is Ground.

With the new downloads of the beasts; Entei, Raikou & Suicune in Japan to tie in with the upcoming movie, further details have been revealed about the in-game Zoroark event. As we stated last month, when you bring the beasts to Black & White through the Transfer Machine, you will get access to Zoroark in an as-of-yet undisclosed location in Isshu. This battle with Zoroark has you first face against an Illusion of one of the beasts. Previously, we didn't know what causes Zoroark to change form, but a pamphlet with the download has since confirmed it.
If you send over Raikou, Zoroark will appear as Entei.
If you send over Entei, Zoroark will appear as Suicune.
If you send over Suicune, Zoroark will appear as Raikou.
It is still not currently known how Zoroark's Illusion ability will work outside of this special event. The pamphlet also further confirmed the fact that Zorua & Zoroark can only be obtained through these special events. We'll bring more as it comes.
The latest issue of Nintendo Dream has provided new insights into the special Illusion ability that Zoroark & Zorua both have. This ability, as we knew previously, allows for Zorua/Zoroark to be transformed into another Pokemon when sent into battle, as seen with the special event when you capture Zoroark. However, prior to now, the details of the ability were not known. We now know the details of this ability. The ability allows for Zorua & Zoroark to be in the form of the Pokemon in second place in your party at the time of it being sent out. This means that if you have say Jigglypuff in the front of your party, Zorua & Zoroark would appear in battle as a Jigglypuff. As we know from before, it keeps its Dark-type, but its appearance and name will match the Pokemon of which it has an Illusion.

Pokemon Sunday revealed some new stuff today, such as a gym leader, two new characters, one seen in what appears to be the game's intro, and another, which I am assuming is the rival character until official info on said characters are released, as well as the release date, September 18th.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftrnk0J8zHMPocket Monster... Awaken.
Again from Serebii.net (http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml).Ok, using this pic as reference... (1 is at the extreme top left of the pic, above the area marked 5)
Also, big Isshu region pic.

Thirteen mysteries from the full map of the Isshu Region!
The new adventure is to take place in the Isshu Region. Here is the announcement of the full map!! It is not an independent island like Hoenn or Sinnoh, but it is thought to be a part of a continent somewhere. There are places here and there with clouds covering them; it appears that there are further mysteries hidden below the clouds. The details of the map are completely unknown, but let's check some points of interest based on the thus-far revealed screen shots.
1) A blast furnace? There is something like melted iron.
A building with the unique shape of a bee's nest. It looks like there is a lava-like material here and there... Also, if you look at the full map, there is a place where you can see what appears to be something like red lava! It's man-made, so maybe it's a type of blast furnace for melting iron.
2) A town at the mouth of a river with a drawbridge.
There are many bridges around the Isshu Region which is abundant with rivers. The red drawbridge in the picture also stands out pretty well on the map. At the base of the bridge is something that resembles a crane and also a lighthouse, so this place could be a port city.
3) A theme park-type facility.
There is a facility that looks to be a theme park with a Ferris Wheel?
4) A sand storm raging in a desert?
A place like a desert with blowing sand. It's hard to see far due to the sand, but there appear to be trainers here and there. If you look a little below center of the map, there is a vast desert. Maybe this could be it. There appears to be a ghost town buried in sand on the map, could this also be a place in the adventure!?
5) An airfield?
There is a runway on the left side of the map!? Could it be an airfield? Maybe you can get on an airplane and enjoy an adventure in the sky. Also, directly above that is a building that looks like a tower. The tower has a spiral staircase and gives off an old-fashioned feeling.
6) Two windmills?
Around where the land looks like a staircase, there are two buildings with the same shape. If you look good at them, there are propeller-like things attached to them making them like windmills. A very relaxed scenery, could they be generating power?
7) Two-tone color town.
A little above the center of the map is a little strange place. Looking at it, the two-tone color town is separated into left as brown and right as light blue. You can also see a big majestic building in the center... What could this place be?
8 ) Ancient ruins?! There is a building that could be some ancient ruins on the place that looks like a rock mountain at the farthest top of the center of the map. On the staircase shaped rock mountain you can see several cave-like holes. Maybe the inside is a complicated maze.
9) What's in the center?
There is a lake at the center of the map with a big island at the center of it. If you look really closely you can see that the outsides of this island is jagged and looks like it's man-made. At the center we can see something in the shape of a spiral, but what could it be...? It's a place full of mysteries.
10) An abandoned factory?
It's hard to see it on the map, but if you look reaaally closely you can see that the walls and ceilings are broken. Last month there was a picture of an abandoned factory that was revealed, could this be it? What sort of Pokemon could be here?
11) The beginning town?
The small town that can be seen in the bottom right of the map. It's as if we've seen this blue roof and the road going around it somewhere before... That's right, it was one of the game pictures during the first announcement! Let's predict that this is the starting point of the adventure and the house with the blue roof is the main character's house!!
12) Sky Arrow Bridge?
"Sky Arrow Bridge" is no doubt the giant bridge that stretches to the city thought to be Hiun City. It seems like this picture is looking towards Hiun City from the eastern opposite bank.
13) The giant city, Hiun City
Hiun City is lined with skyscrapers. Even when looking at the full map, the city's grand appearance stands out. However, directly above this giant city is a ghost town and a vast desert. The contrast is quite interesting.
Where did you find that? o:

Japanese variety show Oha Suta has shown a new trailer for Pokémon Black & White which showed a video containing a lot of new Pokémon. We'll provide pictures shortly. First we have Ononokusu (オノノクス , then Doryuuzu (ドリュウズ), then Desukan (デスカーン), Mokuryu (モクリュー) and finally Denchura (デンチュラ ). It also revealed a Grass-type attack called Grass Mixer (グラスミキサー) and one called Drill Liner (ドリルライナー). It also confirms that there are now Three on Three battles. I will have clear pictures as soon as possible.

3 vs 3 battles
Pokémon Black & White - Oha Suta Reveal
Japanese variety show Oha Suta has shown a new trailer for Pokémon Black & White which showed a video containing a lot of new Pokémon. We'll provide pictures shortly.
First we have Ononokusu (オノノクス), the mantis like Pokémon
Next is Doryuuzu (ドリュウズ) a mole with a giant claw on its tail
Next is Desukan (デスカーン), the sarcophagus-esque Pokémon with ghostly arms
Then Denchura (デンチュラ )is shown, which appears to be a Tarantula
Finally is Moguryu (モグリュー), the baby mole Pokémon seen in the below screenshot.
It appears that Doryuuzu may be Moguryu's evolution. It also revealed a Grass-type attack called Grass Mixer (グラスミキサー) and one called Drill Liner (ドリルライナー). We also know of a new are called White High-Link (ホワイトのハイリンク) which has your trainer transform into what may be a multiplayer avatar and the link up with the internet we mentioned earlier this month is called the Pokémon Global Link. Its functions are still unknown
It also confirms that there are now Three on Three battles. There is also a brand new option in the battle menu in what appeared to be a trainer battle. Along with Fight, Run & Pokémon and Shooter. It is unknown what Shooter is for or what use it has. These Pokémon have been added to the new Pokémon section with the little details we know.
3 vs 3 battlesSeriously how is something like that possible, think about the pokemon who will suffer from earthquakes! *shot*
FFFFFFFFFUUHell yeah. Man, this is probably gonna be the first Pokémon game I get into since the original Silver.
[parasitic bomb]'s gonna get intense. :v
3v3 means that PKMN has FINALLY become a 16-bit era RPG. I'm so proud~! 8DI hope it is underused. As much as I liked certain 2v2 battles, the POINT of the game is to make trainer versus trainer battles. And going over your list of single Pokémon works better in the regular battles. 2v2 and 3v3 are supposed to be all going-out-epic. So they fit in well in certain moments, just not all the time.
Now, hopefully that just means that they'll actually implement it more. 2v2 is still horridly underused, after all...
2v2 and 3v3 are supposed to be all going-out-epic. So they fit in well in certain moments, just not all the time.Like when you team up with Steven at the Space Tower in Mossdeep in Emerald. Now THAT was an epic battle.

To me, emphasizing on the team aspect more would be along the lines of the kind of evolution the series needs. If they're not going to do anything to rock the boat about the "Eugenics Experiment" that is EV training, or even the basic "Rock-Paper-Scissors" dynamic, then at least focus on other aspects of the game engine that would force a change-up in the meta game all the same.But the evolution towards constant team battles doesn't do anything but add more elements to a single battle instead of changing them. Evolution shouldn't be just about adding things, it should be about changing them so the overall system can work better. 2v2 or 3v3 battles should work really well in a larger, more epic context, of bigger battles. So you can actually feel the difference of complexity between battles instead of just fighting stronger opponents. Something like making Gym Leader battles like that would work well. What wouldn't work, would be to simply add more elements, more stuff, more weaknesses that you have to watch for at the same time. Because making that part of the constant gameplay you have to endure would ruin the simplicity Pokémon was based in its original concept. They should keep the simple battles most of the time, but perhaps think of a different gameplay system. Mix in other turn-based elements, maybe.
Besides, if they're not going to do anything truly compelling with it, then it's just a throw-away gimmick that they shouldn't have even bothered with. Battling is the focus of this series, and it's all that's there after you tear through the storyline especially.
Have anyone posted this?Hey borock?

Is that some new pokemon there? including wooter and smugleaf evo?
There's a team of people (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Staff_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Green) that is in charge of monster design. They're listed under "Pokemon Design." They come up with the ideas. They decide which ones are the best and refine them. Then, Ken Sugimori draws those designs. In the first generation, it was a group of four people (Sugimori being one of them), and Satoshi Tajiri's role (the creator of Pokemon) in creating the monsters was basically to approve them and suggest changes after the basic ideas were being designed. He's the only one under "Director" and "Game Design" for the first generation which means that he was in charge of pulling everything together and the overall experience of playing the game.Source: Pokebeach.com (http://pokebeach.com/2010/07/the-new-pokemon-dont-look-like-pokemon) as well.
Nowadays... well, the truth is that in Ruby and Sapphire, Junichi Masuda took over. Ever since R/S/E, Satoshi Tajiri has not been working on the games at all. He's listed as "Executive Director" in most games. What does this mean? "Executive Director" is a fancy way of saying "this is the original creator, he approved this game but was not an active part of development." Occasionally he's listed as an "Executive Producer," which, from what I can gather, means he funded it but was still not an active member in developing it. Finally, in Pokemon Rumble (surprisingly enough), only Sugimori and Masuda are listed in the credits as "advisers" for the spin-off game. Tajiri is not listed at all.
So, Satoshi Tajiri is not really putting his mind into the monsters anymore. However, there is another part of why the monsters look different. The "Pokemon Design" of D/P/Pt was held by thirteen people. Ten of these people did not work on the first generation's Pokemon; Shigeki Morimoto (he's the guy who put Mew into the game) also stopped doing monster design during D/P/Pt. What does this mean? The people coming up with the Pokemon ideas are, mostly, different people each generation. R/S hired a ton of people, and that's why the third generation's style was so different. Black and White has also hired more people.
Thus, the main reason why the Black and White Pokemon look weird is because the design team has new people on it. Also, Satoshi Tajiri hasn't worked on the games for a looooong time (since the Gold and Silver days), thus the reason why Gen III and Gen IV looked so different from Gen I and Gen II. And now Gen V could look very different as well.
Oh, and the girl's name is Iris. :P
Her name is Iris?
Will Ash wonder what he's fighting for? ;)
You know who the male trainer reminds me of?

Too late. :P
Oh, and the girl's name is Iris. :PWell, there goes my dragon-themed trainer naming trend, 'cuz I'm sure as hell not renaming Iris. >U<

Well, there goes my dragon-themed trainer naming trend, 'cuz I'm sure as hell not renaming Iris. >U<I was waiting for your comment. XD
Probably the first (Anime) series that derives from using the game's female character...at least i thinkOh, THAT girl (that's what I get for skimming). Eh...in that case, my Battle Revolution Iris is cuter anyway. 8)
Well, as I mentioned earlier, the pic borockman posted...I think you and I BOTH reversed each other's Irises. >w<
That girl in there, is Iris.
Probably the first (Anime) series that derives from using the game's female character...at least i thinkDerives... I don't think that's the correct word to use... Hence the confusion... -_-
For a moment you can see a battle scene with a new Pokemon called Nezumimi (portmanteau of “mouse” and “ear”). By the way, is that Chinchilla Pokemon [Chiramii] a rodent or a cat? I wouldn’t say Nezumimi isn’t of the same evolutionary line… but then again I only saw it for one instant so I can’t say for sure. [In other words, he's saying the new Pokemon Nezumimi and the chincilla Pokemon Chiramii look similar, with Nezumimi possibly being a pre-evolution or evolution.] We also see Isshu’s Ferris Wheel.
[At the end of the movie, Reshiram and Zekrom are shown in the preview for next year's movie.] Reshiram’s tail spouts fire like a jet engine and it flaps its wings to fly. Of course, Fire-type. Zekrom’s tail is like Mobile Suit Gundam 00’s, what is it called, solar furnace? And the inside glows blue-white, like it is generating electricity inside its body. Of course, Electric-type. At the end of the trailer, an unnamed Pokemon is waving to us. It has big eyes and pointed ears. It kind of looked like this drawing I made [to the right]. I think a part of the ears were orange, but I forgot how the body looked.
[The blogger also mention that Black and White have a new "TV Telephone" feature where you can have a TV-phone conference with up to four people.]
Have anyone posted this?

Huh my brother was right that thing really does look like a Lavitar.
Somehow I think it's going to be similar to a Swampert.Hmm...
- enter the world of your partner using the Wireless communication features
- features some kind of Tag Mode feature(s)
- those with a DSi can use a video phone-like feature with up to four people
Rankurusu, the gothic-like Pokemon
No pics this time, due to a Pokestorm. -_-
On the japanese board 2ch, someone leaked some photoshots from demo stations with Black & White on display, and two shots from some pamphlet. A new Pokémon named Hatooboo [ハトーポー] is shown and more are expected to follow.
Wargle should be renamed Eaglemon.I really don't want to admit this, but I'm much too inclined to agree with you.
Man, the designs are just getting worse. Wargle should be renamed Eaglemon.
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/601/corocorotvreceiver.jpg)(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/6991/corocoronewbatch2.jpg)
The DSi will now have a "TV Transceiver" feature (not for the old DS or DS Lite). You can use its camera to talk to friends that you have exchanged friend codes with using "Live Caster." Locally you can talk to up to four people, and over Wi-Fi only two. This may or may not be a Black and White-exclusive feature.
A new attack called "Magic Room" negates the effects of all items held by your and your opponent's Pokemon.Here's the scan:
The C Gear has features for Wi-Fi, local wireless, and infrared.(http://home.comcast.net/~Anguirus/holdit.gif)
...
With the DS's infrared signal, you can have speedy battles with up to four players and speedy trades directly from your party or PC box. You can also automatically exchange friend codes over infrared now.
It might be because of the camera angle but that Luvdis evo looks pissed.

‘Black’ and ‘White’ Video Footage: Intro, Starter Battles, Pokemon Battles
The current issue of Dengeki Nintendo DS magazine contains an advertisement DVD with new Black and White video footage, and thanks to an armed robbery at their printing plant an anonymous Japanese PokeBeach reader, we now have the video to share with everyone! The first video below shows part of the game's intro followed by you, Cheren, and Belle opening the present from Professor Araragi and picking your starter Pokemon. You then battle them, destroying your room in the process. The second video shows several battle scenes between most of the recently revealed Pokemon. Enjoy!

Pokemon Sunday just finished airing and revealed the new Black and White Legendary Pokemon that was shown in the advertisement following The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark movie: its name is Bikutini (ビクティニ-). It is number 000 in the Isshu PokeDex and you will be able to get it once you obtain a Liberty Ticket (リバティチケット) item, which will be distributed to Black and White players between September 18th and October 18th. The show also showed footage from a 3-on-3 battle; a video will be uploaded to YouTube shortly and posted here, so be sure to check back in a bit!
Huh, this isin't the first time we had tiny legendaries (SEE: The Lake Trio from gen 4).This one requires an event item it seems, and tiny legendaries as promotional-only are quite common; at least one exists in every generation.
This one requires an event item it seems, and tiny legendaries as promotional-only are quite common; at least one exists in every generation.Which means that chances are it's going to be at least a psychic if not a dual psychic.
Today's Oha Suta revealed three new Pokemon: a deer Pokemon, Shikijika (シキジカ); an unnamed swan Pokemon; and the evolution of Minezumi, Miruhoggu (ミルホッグ). The show also confirmed that the evil team in the game is named Team Plasma.
Pokemon Sunday has revealed the full character designs of Iris, the new female companion to Ash, as well as a new male character, Dento; both will appear in Best Wishes, the next "season" of the anime that will take place in the Isshu region. Iris is confirmed to have a Kibago as seen in the character sheet leaked a few weeks ago, but nothing is known about Dento at this point in time.
During one of the segments, the Pokemon Sunday crew was able to get inside the new Black and White tour buses that will be traveling around Japan this month. They tried out the game demo inside, battling Belle, Cheren, and encountering a wild Shimama on a rainy route.It is interesting to note that Shimama's mane was white during the first part of the battle, but once it used an Electric-type attack, the mane started to glow yellow... could we have varying animations like this with other Pokemon?[I was watching a low-quality video when I wrote that originally - it glows yellow before and after the attack.] Next week, the show promises to reveal more details on Victini.
Update (6:00 PM) - TV Tokyo has uploaded 5-second clips of Tsuutaja, Pokabu, Mijumaru, and Reshiram. They are presumably from the first or so episode of Best Wishes, which probably means one of the characters sees Reshiram for an instant like Ash saw Ho-Oh and Dawn say Mesprit.
Update #2 (6:30 PM) - The TV Tokyo website also posted biographies of the characters. For Iris, they say, "Her specialty is tree climbing, she makes good use of berries for herself, and she is a girl with very wild behavior. For some reason, she is traveling with the Dragon-type Pokemon, Kibago." For Dento, the new male, they say he is "A Pokemon Sommelier (waiter) who is a source of abundant knowledge and experience, diagnoses the compatibility between Trainer and Pokemon, and gives advice on how to befriend. Is this really, in fact, true?!" My theory based on the biographies: Iris replaces Dawn (obvious to anyone) and Dento replaces Brock or is just a rival in Pokemon Contests. Thanks goes to KurowaSan from our forums for the translations!
Update #3 (6:45 PM) - Higher-quality videos of the anime preview and game footage added below thanks to our friends at Filb.de.
Wait. That screenshot...
Triple battles? Srsly? Just srsly?
Anyways, DPP wasn't all that good, and BW don't look all that prety either. I'll check it out anyways of course.
old news
you think gen 1 or 2 was the best, don't you?
The Japanese Yahoo website has inadvertently leaked Ken Sugimori images of a new Bug-type Pokemon, the previously revealed swan Pokemon, and Shikijika. You can see all three images below. Victini has been confirmed as a Psychic / Fire type. It is the Victory Pokemon and has a new ability called Victory Star. It stands 0.4m tall and weighs 4.0kg. Ken Sugimori images of Aloe, Dento, and Team Plasma were also leaked.
The first person is definately, Tom the Cat's owner. XDMammy Two-Shoes was stronger looking that that.
Mammy Two-Shoes was stronger looking that that.Not to mention she's missing two dozen aprons.
Who wants to bet that one of the other two leaked people is either a gym leader, elite 4 member, or the champion?
Junichi Masuda announced on his blog that Black and White will only feature fifth generation Pokemon until later in the game: "This time around, until the ending of the games, there are only new Pokemon. Only new Pokemon will appear! This way, adults and children alike will start from scratch, and have the fun of saying 'what's that Pokemon?' just like in Red and Green. When people within the company played it, their feelings were... 'It feels fresh because they're all Pokemon I haven't seen before,' 'I didn't know the Pokemon types, so their attacks surprised me,' 'The new things make me feel like I did when I played Red and Green,' and so on and so on, it was a really good vibe. Designing the Pokemon was an enormous feat... but my graphics team said, 'Since everyone enjoyed it, we're happy!' Please play [the games] and see for yourself! Later!"
[...] reveals a new shot of Team Plasma (at 0:16). The apparent leader of the team says to a group of Trainers, "What we're discussing is liberating Pokemon." It seems Team Plasma is like the PETA, which is fitting if Isshu is really based off locations in the United States [combined with N's line that "Pokemon are friends"].
Emonga (エモンガ) is the Flying Squirrel Pokemon, stands 0.4m tall, and weights 5.0kg. It is an Electric / Flying-type and has Static as its ability.
Gigaiasu (ギガイアス), which was revealed previously, is the High Pressure Pokemon. It is a Rock-type, has the Sturdy ability, stands 1.7m tall, and weighs 270.0kg.
Darumakka (ダルマッカ) is a Fire-type and the supposed pre-evolution of Hihidaruma.
Another new Pokemon revealed but not pictured is Basurao (バスラオ), which knows Aqua Jet and Uproar.
Shikijika (the previously revealed deer) is a Normal / Grass-type and has Chlorophyll as its ability. Its appearance changes according to the seasons: in the spring it is pink (like the Ken Sugimori artwork), in the summer it is green, in the fall it is orange, and winter's color is unknown.
Growth now seems to raise Special Attack and Attack by one stage.
Shikijika is a Normal / Grass-type (as revealed in the previous update) and changes its color depending on the in-game season.
In the spring Shikijika is pink (like the official Ken Sugimori artwork), in the summer it is green, in the fall it is orange, and in the winter it is brown.
There will be a new in-game season each month of the real year, meaning three seasons a year.
As seen on the bottom of the scan, the color of Isshu's terrain changes depending on the season as well.
Aloe is the Gym Leader of Shippou City (シッポウシティ).
The city could be named after a religious Buddhist term for the "Seven Precious Treasures," being Gold, Silver, Pearls, Agate, Crystal, Coral, and Lapis Lazuli. Some of these have been game namesakes to boot. It can also be named after "Cloisonne," which is enamel work ("enamelware in which colored areas are separated by thin metal strips"). So the city may deal in religion or art (or perhaps uses the metal from that religious term for the enamel work). Considering Aloe is wearing a big apron, she might be a cloisonne ware maker. But none of this is confirmed yet of course!
Speaking of which, an "aloe" is an African flower.
Gen5 is gen 1 apparently
Also, Team Plasma is PETA.
What does everybody think of this? (http://ds.nintendolife.com/news/2010/08/get_ready_for_a_story_mode_full_of_new_pokemon_in_black_and_white)
You mean stuff I posted days ago? Indeed.Plus, I heard that the female character was gonna have these really short shorts. And that the cities were gonna be huge and on 3D.
TMs will no longer expire after one use - you can use them as many times as you want, like HMs!

Ok, I must know why nobody has mentioned this at all. Oh, there's more Coro Coro info now too >.>
Yeah, and you know what's the most exciting possibility of these new TMs? The removal of HMs. Honestly, I don't see any reason at all to keep them the way they are now if their only difference is that they're a pain in the ass to manage by being unforgettable.Yeah especially moves like Flash, Defog, and Whirl Pool since you only would probably use them once or twice. The only good moves that Hm's have are Surf and Fly for instant teleportation.

Don't forget Strength. Beyond its situational use for the puzzles on the field, it's still a good move to use in battle, as well. Especially if you have a physical-stat favoring Pokemon.I didn't count Strength since it's a normal type move, Normal type moves don't work for me unless it's Explosion with a really fast pokemon at critical mass.
Yup once every month.Huh. Well, if I'm understanding what you're saying, then now I have a semi accurate time estimation.
Huh. Well, if I'm understanding what you're saying, then now I have a semi accurate time estimation.Something like that, but it's still 3 months per season so even with the eractic changes it's still roughly the same.
1 year in-game = 4 months real-life
To that I say good. I'm [tornado fang]ing sick of Zubats and Geodudes in every game.
As am I, sick to [parasitic bomb] of seeing Pidgey and Ratatta everywhere too.Don't forget the Magikarps.

Which is why I waste most of my money maxing out an item slot with Max Repels.
I never go into ocean water without a Max Repel sprayed on prior to entering the water.Which is why I use Master Balls on roamers.
Nintendo should make selective Repel in the next game or something.
"Bird Repel" "Rat Repel" "Cave creature Repel" "Squid Repel" That way you can still get the other better pokemon hiding around without the hassle. You know, like the roamers. Once you pass them in level you can't see them unless you swap to a weakling that probably doesn't have the moves you want.

His point was so a repel doesn't act against a roamer. He said nothing about not catching them. Which can be done just as easily with a certain move, you may know of it. It's called BLOCK. And it's NOT a waste of a perfectly good Master Ball.
Aye. That would be helpful. I've caught many a roamer only to lose it due to a repel being active.

not much else worth using a master ball on
not much else worth using a master ball on
It's impossible to beat the Elite 4 in Emerald. Luckily you can get Rayquaza BEFORE you beat them. Unfortunately you're too underleveled to fight him.
MASTER BALL.
That was my strategy anyways.
Seems like a good enough reason.
if its impossible how come i did it.
You should probably grind more. Its frustrating, but worth it. I mean, I was underleveled with a level 60 Sceptile to fight with, but i did it.
I never used stat altering moves until Soul Silver.
Yeah except for my Blaziken all 6 of my pokemon have 3 offensive moves and one support move.
Offensive trainer as well, eh? MY BRETHEREN!
I do have 7.
I fight the same way.What the heck is a Nuzlocke? Anyway I breed all my pokemon.
As such I [tornado fang]ing hate it when I get Paralyzed, Put to sleep, Poisoned, or Confused. mainly because I have no response to it.
Nuzlocke or Catching what you use only?
I do have 7.
What the heck is a Nuzlocke? Anyway I breed all my pokemon.
What the heck is a Nuzlocke? Anyway I breed all my pokemon.
Well thats smart. I'm usually too goddamn lazy. I always catch stronger stuff, And I rarely ever have to switch from my Murderous Feraligatr. Of course, going against a real opponent would get me killed in one hit.Yeah you would and my Feraligatr would probably kick his butt too, no offense. Not mention I actually learned how to EV train my pokemon too.
My friend is attempting to run through FireRed with only his Charmander and all other pokemon as HM slaves exclusively.Wow so he's using 5 pokemon to be HM slaves for 7 HMs. You know he could avoid this by getting a Lickitung, any Water type, and Flying type since Flash is only good for the Rock Tunnel.
No point. I mean, he only uses the other 5 as HM slaves. All battling is done by the starter.Good luck in the Pokemon League his Charizard is going to get murdered by either Loreli, Lance, or Blue.

I raped with Rayquaza in Emerald. But I was 8. So I really didn't care.
Emerald wasn't released that long ago...Emerald was released in 2005 so if that's correct he's 13-14 now.
Good luck in the Pokemon League his Charizard is going to get murdered by either Loreli, Lance, or Blue.I would think that the worst would be over after Misty, due to how early you face her and the obedience issues with over-leveling your starter that soon. The later you get in the game, the more over-leveled your lone powerhouse gets, and thus the more likely it can conquer a type disadvantage. Even with a "balanced" team, your first crack at the Elite Four usually boils down to item abuse anyway (not that the computer doesn't deserve it with their freaking Full Restores).

That and the fact that Psychic types scared me back then since they would be too strong if I trained the normal way since all the Ghosts were part Poison and Bug moves really really sucked back then. Then again with my knowlegde now I could of murdered them with an Eeveelution or Nintales.
Emerald was released in 2005 so if that's correct he's 13-14 now.
'Bout that. Kallen. Sakura was right on spot.
Thats what I was thinking.
Hell, i'm just going to do the same thing I did with Emerald and say [tornado fang] that to the Goddamn Battle Frontier.
Anywho, Gyarados had been giving me tons of issues in SS, mainly because the ones that caused me trouble (Blue's and Lance's) had a rediculously high Defense stat. And none of the Pokemon I had at the time were very powerful. (This has changed, a Level 74 Feraligatr will tip the scales in my favor, Along with a Level 84 Rayquaza and a few other overpowed legendaries I bring along because I couldn't decently train a team if my life depended on it.)
Hell, i'm just going to do the same thing I did with Emerald and say [tornado fang] that to the Goddamn Battle Frontier.
Battle Frontier can just GO TO HELL.So you didn't know that any tournament inside the games demands that you save and you went ahead and saved anyway?
1. Because it is pretty much impossible to beat.
2. Because it's because of the Battle Factory that I never got Groudon on my last file. My little brother beat Groudon on my save file because I was gonna catch it next time I got on, then went to the Battle Factory, and you need to save to get in.
Yeah I never used a Gyarados, it takes too much to train it and it's never worth it. I mean for crying out loud it's a flying type pokemon but it can't learn flying attacks not even Aerial Ace. Arcanine can learn Aerial Ace no problem but not Gyarados who is a flying type not thanks that just makes him more vunerable for no reason.
I really doubt he'd be OU if it wasn't worth it. Besides, what does he need Aerial Ace for?I'm just saying why make him a Flying type if he can't learn any flying moves other than Bounce, which is a move that is learned by a bunch of non flyers anyway, through a move tutor. It just makes him more vunerable for no reason. Plus Bounce is just Fly with less accuracy, less attack power, and less PP but can Paralyze pokemon pretty well.

Honestly I like the Battle Frontier because I stay far far away from the Battle Factory myself and focus on the Battle Castle, Battle Tower, and ocassionally the Battle Arcade.
EDIT: Okay Gyarados can learn Bounce but I would never use Bounce or Fly in a real battle.
I never bought into the whole "Psychics are too powerful" complaints back then. While it's true that there's no real way to hit them from a type-weakness standpoint (Ghost moves sucked too, regardless of Poison hybrid status), all first-gen Psychics with the exception of Hypno had high Speed but crappy Defense.
I'm just saying why make him a Flying type if he can't learn any flying moves other than Bounce, which is a move that is learned by a bunch of non flyers anyway, through a move tutor. It just makes him more vunerable for no reason. Plus Bounce is just Fly with less accuracy, less attack power, and less PP but can Paralyze pokemon pretty well.
Think of it this way, it was either Flying or Dragon. Would you like to fight against a Water/Dragon Gyarados?Well early on no, but it's still not a pokemon I would ever use.
Yeah, a hard-hitter can take 'em down pretty good, even if there's a fair enough level distance beteween the defender and the attacker. But some Spychic pokemon have moves that can make ghosts more vunrable to non-special moves, so that's a real benefit there.
I used Psychic on Alakazam, (Keep in mind I was close to dying.) and killed him.
How did that even happen.
But why would a sp.attack be influenced by the Attack stat? An sp.attack that would be not very effective AND against a pokemon with a high Special >_>It must of been very close to dying.

Luck also plays a big role a battle, and boy that must've been epic when that happened! ^_^
There was always the fun method in Yellow that involved catching a Mankey. You're far more likely to keep it in your party than Butterfree, too.

Ember didn't do all that much damage. Unless you were like uberly overleveled. No. The only way to beat Brock is either get a Butterfree with Confusion or have Charmander learn Metal Claw.
Aw yeah, I had to level that Mankey up HIGH, I ended up with a Primape I think... So it was obviously disobedient. (That was before my Yellow version save got Wiped.)Wait I thought that pokemon only became disobediant if you didn't originally owned them.

It was probably harder back in the RBY days, where Metal claw was Non-existant.
Wait I thought that pokemon only became disobediant if you didn't originally owned them.
I thought it was if the level got too high.
It's both, I think. I spammed the box feature in Pokemon Stadium, and when I traded my lv100 Charizard to a new game, he never listened. But I think if you were to somehow get to an area with high-level Pokemon (like Route 46 in G/S/C that you can get high leveled pokemon early on, with some difficulty) and caught one, it would be disobedient as well.
Yeah I never used a Gyarados, it takes too much to train it and it's never worth it. I mean for crying out loud it's a flying type pokemon but it can't learn flying attacks not even Aerial Ace.A good Flying Pokemon with a good Flying attack is hard to come by. But Dragon Dance, Intimidate, and Earthquake immunity are always dangerous, even coming from a 4x Electric-weak 'man. With physical Waterfall added to his move set, Gyarados can create a world of pain.
Honestly I like the Battle Frontier because I stay far far away from the Battle Factory myself and focus on the Battle Castle, Battle Tower, and ocassionally the Battle Arcade.I generally hate all in-game tournaments because they always ban legendaries. It's the same every gen; you have to buy the console game if you want unrestricted high-level opponents. Which rather blows this generation since BR doesn't allow you to swap games and doesn't support Platinum forms/items.
It was probably harder back in the RBY days, where Metal claw was Non-existant.Not really, because in R/B/Y, Brock had no actual Rock-type attacks, so your full and sole concern was dealing decent damage. Further, before the G/S Special split, pretty much all Rock/Ground Pokemon had craptacular Special stats, meaning that even Ember could do a fair chunk of damage.
I want this game~ <3I dun' get it.

Just because you think they look bad, it doesn't mean everyone does.
Besides, I hardly doubt you'll be raping anything if your previous posts are any indication of your skill.
On Wednesday, these images leaked onto 2ch for the evolutions of Tsutaja, Pokabu & Mijumaru. Everyone was unsure about them until some user claimed he created them. However, with no evidence, we were all unsure as to whether they were real or fake. However, I have received confirmation that these Pokémon are in fact the evolutions of the starter Pokémon. While there's a slim chance that this is wrong, everything I have been told has turned out accurate thus far.
Three days ago, the webmaster of the Spanish Pokemon site Pokexperto, Melkor, received word from a "special source" that the evolutions on 2ch are real and thus posted them as such. The website has posted information from this special source before and it has turned out to be true, so I had reason to believe Melkor was telling the truth. In conferring with him today, I was able to see some of the material the source had given him, including a sprite of Tsutaaja's final evolution (which matches the photo) and a sprite of another Pokemon. To test if the source was giving Melkor genuine images and to test if Melkor was telling me the truth, I asked him to describe the appearance of the covered-up Pokemon from the Pokemon Musical screenshot on the official Black and White website; he gave me a very specific description of it on the spot, and I'll just say one word: eyebrows. If the description he gave me is true, his source and the starters below will be validated. Regardless, you obviously have the choice to believe the legitimacy of these evolutions or not; after all, nothing is totally official until Nintendo reveals them.
So those evolutions are real after all. Apparently.

Joe, however, disagrees (http://pokejungle.net/2010/09/01/bw-rumors-iv/comment-page-1/#comment-9320).
Speaking of which:Looks a lot better than its pre-evolved form, I must say.

This was posted on pokexperto as proof that they are real but were later taken down because pokabu's full evo's name in that picture is Mijumaru and his base stats in HP are lower than that of pokabu's, which makes no sense for something that bulky.

The only evidence we have been provided with is that these images were posted on 2ch a japanese forum, pokexperto says they have an "inside informant" which is about as believable to me as "my uncle works at nintendo" and now pokejungle has posted a sprite found on 4chan saying that there is evidence that it is real, which.. by the way they have not provided us with.Quote from: KimicatdemonOh I have seen that last picture some where before....

Oh... right.... They used that same picture with the Chimecho evolution and just skewed it around for a bit...and adjusted some curves in photoshop. The shadows are in the exact same place. The website was probably changed and added on via photoshop as well.

You do remember that Dia and Pearl were comedians right?
So...if the scans are real, then the artwork of the evos is fake, BUT, still accurate so far -___-
The only thing I want to [sonic slicer] about is having another fire/fighter, I actually liked most of the evos.Same with me, I mean for crying out loud Infernape is cheap enough.
another fire/fighter
Wait we get a mushroom pokemon that looks like a pokeball?
I'd catch dat 'fro.
Update #5 (11:30) - The starter evolution page does not match the rest of the pages, but we're keeping it up for now since it was leaked at the same time and by the same person.
Wily II,
Dento (Grass), Poddo (Fire), and Kon (Water) are the Sanyou City Gym Leaders. As stated in the previous post, the Gym specializes in Grass, Fire, and Water. Depending on the Starter Pokemon you choose, you will face the Gym Leader of the type that is stronger than you (like when you battle your rival in previous games). They will use their elemental monkeys and possibly other Pokemon of their type.
Nah, the only kinda-rage thing he said was that how can an otter end up becoming a unicorn thing XD

"It's the same type as this one and does more damage!"

Well, he lacks the ability to "grow up" period, despite clear references to time passage during the Kanto league (and again in the Pikachu and Pichu short).To be fair, Colosseum's not really canon.

...what kind of Bizzarro World have I entered where the word "canon" was used to refer to a Pokemon game?I guess I got it from Bulbapedia.
But assuming we are trying to derive story value from a series that gave us "child prodigy collects 8 badges and become the champion" 17 times over, why would Colosseum be exempt? It doesn't contradict anything established in previous games, and neither so does any future game contradict it.
Different region, anyway. It's its own thing in a larger world.:cookie:

That's what I was getting at earlier. There's not a lot in any one region of Pokemon that can deny the existence of another region.

I do like how they incorporated the beeps into the music.
And quite frankly, the beeping got on my nerves when my Blaziken was getting raped by Wallace.
Personally 3rd Gen is my least favorite, at least in terms of its starting titles (loved Colosseum). 180-something oldies unavailable without hacking? I'll be damned if I'm playing a Pokemon game with no Dragonite. And it introduced the current EV system which I'm not a fan of; it's completely impossible to build a mixed attacker to its full potential, and the random battles over the course of the game seriously screw up whatever Pokemon you have not specifically grinded (read: either re-breeding or berry-stuffing your starters).
Still had its strong points, of course. It's hard to call any core Pokemon RPG "bad", since they're all largely the same.
Awesomeness! The only problem is this is going to REALLY tempt me to not heal my Pokemon.Lately, I've learned to use those handy-yet-underused X-items in Gym Leader/E4 battles. It's easy to predict a Full Restore use, so just ramp up your attack/speed and prepare to sweep! I pulled this over on Red in SS and tore through him. From what I can tell, the new low health theme just gives me further incentive to use them!

Yes but at least Full Restore gives them at least an extra turn to live most of the time. Can't say the same of the X ____.
Just letting everyone know that Mew's up on Wi-fi and will be until the 30th.
Mew is nice and all, but are we EVER going to get the Azure Flute in our lifetime? I mean seriously, it's ridiculous, not even Japan has it and they have 5th gen already.Probably not. I'm betting somebody at Nintendo realized how game-breaking Arceus would be if it were released with the full IV/Nature manipulation afforded by an actual encounter. Plus the cat was out of the bag in Japan due to a game glitch in early versions anyway.
I thought getting Rayquaza in HG/SS required having both a Kyogre and Groudon native to those two versions?

Anyways, does anyone have a spare event Celebi they want to trade? I can give any of the shiny beast trio, but I imagine everyone has those already >.>
It MUST NOT HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO BW AND USED ALREADY, IIRC this gen they programmed the event legents to only activate events once, so no doing your own event and then lending to a friend =/ Besides I want to do the whole Giovanni thing in HG >.>
May I just say that this is my favorite gen ever so far? So creative. Only real negative I have for the games are that fire types that aren't glass cannons or ugly (looking at you Darumaka line) are pretty much nil. Countering that though is Volcarona. [spoiler]HOLY [tornado fang] BUG/FIRE MIX IS GODLIKE[/spoiler]
The hardest part about this game for myself currently is realizing that I really need to keep on top of a lot of things in order to get the most out of the game. The stuff regarding events that I unfortunately missed by not getting SoulSilver earlier is coming back to haunt me. I wants a Zoroark. :(
On another note, anyone else completely curbstomp all of the trainers through the main story only to get stopped up by Ghetis and not even his team really, but just his insane fast Hydregion? Also, anyone else having a hard time finding places to build level until you can handle all the trainers and wild Pokes in the eastern parts of the map? I feel like every other thing hands my ever changing team their asses badly. XD

The end of your event pokemon problems.
One final tangent, I'm really trying to run the most diverse team I've ever done in my Pokemon playing run. I have a couple of rules set, basically to get as many dual types as I can on the team, no overlapping types, and (probably the hardest part of this) trying to keep it Unova specific. I think I'm close to caving on the last part though. What I'd like are some suggestions movepool and Pokemon wise on the teams I'm setting up. The ones on the farthest left are the ones I'm running with currently. The team I'm running around with isn't final and is pretty much constantly changing, but having some suggestions to sift through would be fun:So this is for the normal game let's see.
Eelektross/Galvantula (My favorite two electric types in design and function. I love Eel but Galvantula looks like a cool way to get closer to that Team Duality I want to make)
Hydregion (Why oh why isn't Dark Pulse a TM in this one with this Sp. Atk monster?)/Dragonite/Garchomp (No matter what, there will always be a dragon on my team, this is something I've done since realizing Dragonite's majesty in RBY and never looking back afterwards. XD)
Dragonite/Crobat/Lucario/? (Totally out of it with how I want to set up the wildcard member)
Volcarona (Always wanted to run a team with some fun Bug shenanigans and the Sp. Atk helps tons)/Arcanine (OG right here XD)/Typhlosion (See Arcanine)
Carracosta (too slow, need something faster)/Poliwhirl (Fighting type is something I realized I needed badly for synergy after I dropped Scrafty from my team)/Lapras (<3 Ice seriously)/Starmie
Serperior/Exeggutor
Elektross has no weakness thanks to Levitate but the problem is that his main high stats are Attack and Special Attack as second highest rather than speed and plus his strongest electircal physical attack hurts him so it's hard to really exploite his good points so I'd go with Galvantula. I would teach it Thunder Bolt, Bug Buzz/Signal Beam, Energy Ball for getting the Rock Types, and Volt Switch so that way it can escape the Fire Types and damage them significantly.
I would highly suggest substituting Thunderbolt with Thunder for Galvantula if it has Compoundeyes.Ah yes I forgot about that, it would be a good idea to do that.
Lots of fun ideas getting tossed around here, thanks Sakura! I didn't actually mean for my team to be balanced around any particular style or methods, I just like having a lot of options. Another thing of note is that I am pretty damn old school with how I develop my teams (i.e. pick favorites, make sure that the Fire, Water, Grass, & Electric types are covered and balance accordingly). I don't really pay attention to EVs nor do I do excessive breeding except for filling Pokedex or having Pokemon with unique/crafty move sets. XDYeah I figured as much, I pretty much just followed that rule of not having the same type but at the same time not giving you pokemon that are somewhat difficult to raise like Serperior and Volcarona.
As it stands though, this is pretty much my standard team that I'd use for the remainder of the game and whatever e-battling shenanigans I get myself into. As it stands here and now, I'm still learning and trying to build accordingly. I'd love to dabble in building something with the current strategies or planning in mind though, which is why your post is pretty helpful to me.
Well, the endgame is pretty awesome if you ask me. Also, I'll be honest, making TMs infinitely reusable made this game SO much better just because I could actually experiment with them now instead of saving them all for god knows when and never using them. Also, only one required use of HMs for the story/to reach any of the towns was great.TMs infinitely reusable? AWESOME!
I must say, I'm really enjoying this thus far. Especially the battle music. It's really good.

Currently I've beaten the Elite Four and am working on grinding my team and trying to complete the Unova Dex. After the game there is an immense power creep and you really can't touch any new trainers as they'll grind you to dust immediately.
Bah, I'm just preparing myself for Zekrom, N, and Ghetsis. >.>
My point stands because I got to level 50 with Ghetsis, and even then with only one poké >.>... STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!

Well, I do have a box full of Growlithe's with Flare Blitz in my HG, some with pretty good speed IVs too actually. No CC though. If you don't mind that part much tell me, I'm gonna be really busy these days though.
I was gonna do something completely stupid with my pokemon nicknames and name them after giant robots. 8D

But in seriousness, I need to build a team that can cover one-another's weaknesses..hmm.. Anyone got advice?
I'll admit that was a bit harder since you don't get to heal.
Also was catching Zekrom/Reshisham supposed to be that easy?
Actually I found Ghetis to be easy for me since I had Meinshao, then again my pokemon were lv 50 before I took on the Elite 4. Also was catching Zekrom/Reshisham supposed to be that easy?Yep. Their catch rate was high enough that you can capture it with Quick Balls in the first 2 or 3 turns.
I had a really ballin' team of 50 - 52s + Reshiram for that fight and Hydreigon alone was Megaman-ing the [tornado fang] out of them. Between the most accurate Focus Blasts ever (brutalizing the Scrafty & Carracosta on my team then), Flamethrowers (Serperior), Surf (LOL Darmanitan), and Dragon Pulse for cleanup (Reshiram), the only thing without coverage was Eelektross and it pretty much just outsped me the whole way through. XD
Speaking of collecting, what's the best way to get EXP outside of an E4 run? They'd totally destroy my team, they certainly aren't the same as Sinnoh's E4 which I honestly had no problem defeating even though they were up to 20 levels higher. If I'm gonna have to use all of my revives and full restores for it then it's not worth it. I gues I could use Arceus and stuff but tha't'd take out the fun of actually getting into the Hall of Fame.Big Stadium, Little Court.
So far I've just been doing daily Black City battles and driving the Audino population to extinction on the route outside (with a lucky egg of course), dunno if there's something else I could do. This Deino sure isn't gonna level itself from 1 to 60 something itself -___-
Does anyone know where a good place to train a pokemon in Sp. Attack would be?
But then I wouldn't get a boost with the lucky egg, or would I? :/Not really. Training through E4 is the best thing I have found. Thankfully, I have a ghost pokemon that allows me to breeze through at least 3 trainers worth of EXP and share it with other pokemon. Once level 60, I think they are high enough to face them by themselves with the lucky egg, but it will take forever. Not sure if its me, but this E4 are much more tougher...
Sheesh, one whole hour of not being able to connect to each other -__-Yep, I was able to connect with my brother so that he can get his own Alakazam. Sems like it counts as trades, so I can get that 2nd master ball if we just keep on trading. Much easier to catch Kyurem in the nature I want it.
Have any of you guys EVER been able to trade on Wi-fi? This was worse than trying to find a random match in Brawl.
You do realize that you're posting that a little too late right? XDDeal with it. 8B
OH, and I picked Snivy.good, you made the right choice
good, you made the right choiceI honestly don't like any of the starters in this game to be honest but Snivy is most ceratinly not the best in my opinion.
Finally defeated Cynthia without using a legendary pokemon. However, its going to be a pain training all my 6 members of my pokemon to 100 even with the lucky egg.
I'm going through a bit of team reshuffling and breeding frenzy right now trying to get a new bunch of alternate teams set up. Just wondering though, does anyone have the Gen 4 starters (doesn't matter what evolutionary state or movesets) on hand?
I have black
Cool, need anything? I have event legendaries if you need. My FC is at the top of the page. Lets just hope this doesn't go like when I tried with Jestah and we just spent a whole hour in the lobby without being able to connect to each other >__>
Ok then, I've been at the lobby for a while now >.>
http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=3473.msg307782#msg307782
=P
Tried accepting my trading invitation?
K
*sigh* This is exactly like when I tried with Jestah -__-
But my day wasn't so bad altogether. Guess who has/can offer baby Arcanines (or Growlithes for all you non-enlightened members) with Close Combat? 8D
I wouldn't mind one at all.
OK, when will you be online for it? Also, post your FC if possible.
Tai, I still haven't forgotten about you though. Hopefully WiFi will behave itself today and we can trade.
Having just evolved my Hydreigon right now I have to say, god damn, what was Nintendo thinking? I already thought that the levels the other pseudo-legends evolved at was too damn high, and now they made this guy evolve at lv64? -____-
I know they made leveling easier than ever in this game, but still, damn.
Getting Larvesta to evolve into Volcarona will be a bit of a pain.
Getting Larvesta to evolve into Volcarona will be a bit of a pain.
Well I'm online now. And my FC is in the Wifi thread I believe! XD
Terribly terribly late, but I can do some trading now. UI added your FC, and mine should be on the last page for easy reference.
Looks like Dream World will be up on the 13th. I just can't wait to get a Dream World Snivy. That DW ability is one hell of a boost with leaf Storm.
They give it to you.
Solar, lemmie get to post game, then we'll talk. Speaking of which, I have to backtrack to get the orb for Zerkom. Where's the masterball located at?Prof. gives it to you right after you beat the 8th Gym Leader.
Well, you can get an extra after doing over 50 trades, but I don't remember exactly where in Castelia.Top left hand corner in the Castelia City Poke Center is a man in a black suit and glasses. 50 trades = 1 master ball. Good luck with it though, since most people trade patrats for Zekroms! O:<
And that's why you're the one that should be offering pokemon (also, the ingame trades count), which hasn't been much of a problem to me with the endless supply of Oshawotts I have due to my search of a shiny one =PNope. Traded with a friend like 30 something times when we realized it only counted once.
Alternatively, can't you just trade back and forth with a friend 50 times?
...I still want a Thundorus btw =(
I didin't knew I would get an extra masterball in this game though. Why now, may I ask? -_-They have too many legendaries and they know it.
Why what?
So here I was thinking that I had to agree with Archer and admit there was no -blam-ing reason for Dream World except maybe the starters they might release exclusively. Then I see you can get a Dratini that eventually evolves into a Dragonite with the ability Multiscale.
So here I was thinking that I had to agree with Archer and admit there was no -blam-ing reason for Dream World except maybe the starters they might release exclusively. Then I see you can get a Dratini that eventually evolves into a Dragonite with the ability Multiscale. When at full heal, damage from an attack is only 50%. Way better than Inner Focus. Only problem is that I might have to spend at least 2 weeks doing the DW to get enough points to get there. So here's to a heartfelt emotion, "[tornado fang]"... -AC
Lemme Guess, they only give you one? Like in every game?That's why there are Critical catches.
Sure, Balance so you don't catch every single goddamn thing easily, but when Legendaries troll you with 3 shakes then break followed by no shakes at all for like 6 Ultra Balls its really frustrating.
That's why there are Critical catches.
How exactly does the Dream World work, anyway?
It's one random variable in the already complicated catch formula. I don't understand why it's dumb; if anything, it makes things easier on those of us who like catching everything in Pokeballs.
On rare occasions, a thrown Pokeball (any kind) will spin in the air (either before or after it sucks up the Pokemon) and catch it immediately with no shakes. I don't know how rare it is, though.
Got 3 of my pokemons to 100. Just about 8 more... Hate that legendaries are so damn hard to level even with the Entralink pass powers.
The Japanese PGL had the Eevee obtained through it's Campaign section, where it would just be added to the list of Pokémon that were to be sent in on the next Game Sync. I haven't been into the English PGL just yet, so I have no idea if there's anything similar to the Campaign section.
I'm willing to battle sometime as long as it's no items. My team is mostly complete but I'm not heavily into the metagame.
But I did have a fun little thought. Wouldn't it be a kick if we created an RPM Pokemon League?

We totally need to create our own E4s & Champions sometime. Maybe have a few of us who battle the best with Pokemon of a certain gen get to be that region's champ?Ooh if I wasn't a Gym leader I would totally take the Hoenn spot.
Hmm I'm wondering if we should replace some of the Gym Leaders since a handful are gone now or just leave it as is.
Ooh if I wasn't a Gym leader I would totally take the Hoenn spot.
If it were me I would go with Infernape, Milotic, Torterra, and Lucario but that's just me.
-My God, Infernape. No seriously my [tornado fang]ing God, Infernape. Thanks a ton Pyro for introducing me to this bad [chameleon sting]er right here. This Pokemon alone is responsible for so many single Pokemon battle wins I've pulled out just because of its amazing attack stats, speed out the ass (this thing is faster than my Hydreigon) and its typing. I am this close to considering it the third "unchangeable" party member. The only issue I have (while really meaningless in the long run) are that when I pick a starter, I have an annoying habit of wanting the other two starters on the same team. Curse you Pokemon anime, you childhood marketing machine you! XD
Sooo... I am torn with what I should do with my Zoroark. I don't know whether to breed him with Extrasensory to fight against his weakness, Fight, teach him Grass Knot to cover Ground and my Water weakness or U-Turn in order to have full use of his Illusion ability. What do you guys say?
I tried a Trick Room Gardevoir once but I shot myself in the foot when Hypershell just happened to switch in his Steelix the same turn so I vowed never to use it again.You know, not that I don't consider myself a good player, but lady luck seems hell-bent on scarring my fellow RPMers for life when they battle me. Just ask the last person to use Latios as a lead against me. >w<

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I have jack squat in the way of a 5th-gen team. Hell, I still don't have my second badge. 3DS swept me up and I only just yesterday jumped back into White (will likely stay on that until the Legends 3 Prototype hits). Been researching on Serebii who I want to use in-game (oh, Audino, why can ye not evolve?).
Just message me when. My Yahoo Email thingy should tell me. I can do it within the next 6 hours or if not, tomorrow around 3 to 6 California time.
I need to hook up with somebody here for a trade evolution at some point. Gotta power up my Buldore into a Gigalith.
Gladly. I still need your friend code, though. Mine's in the Wifi thread.Sorry! The day I said I would help, my internet was cut off. Finally paid for it. >BD
CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL*smacks Setsuna with a magic fish*
Sorry! The day I said I would help, my internet was cut off. Finally paid for it. >BDDefinitely. The 3DS kinda diverted my attention from my 'mans, so my Buldore is still sitting around unevolved.
I can help now if you need it!
On a side note, I have fully trained my team. Who wants to try them?

Yeah, it's DS.Yea, but it's mentioned that that are some additional features if played on DSi or 3DS.

A good point of view explaining Kyurem's new forms.(http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/kvar/18298790483/1/tumblr_lzzil8zdkj1qcivrb)The new versions of Kyurem are AMAZING, and this is why.

The developers incorporated so many deep levels of Taoism into this Pokemon that it puts it on a level that I’ve hardly ever seen Pokemon get to.
I just felt the need to go make this huge chart to illustrate my point, because I know some people don’t approve of the new forms of Kyurem. Although I am completely for everyone having their own opinions, I felt like posting this to get this excitement off my chest.
They just HAD to be retyped Sky Attacks, didn't they? And here I was hoping Kyurem might actually become useful (comparable to his two ludicriously overpowered fellow dragons, I mean).Last I checked, Sky Attack didn't inflict status effects. >3>
Players will be able to register 300 Pokemon in their Pokedex some of which will be brand new.You mean to say there are going to be more than 640 something pokemons? I give up. There is no way to remember any and all types, attacks, and items this game could hold. Just make a team that like to [twin slasher] often and hope for the best, right?

Though I'd like to think it's because they're following off of Ruby/Sapphire and not Emerald.
even if they did, it's being said that all previous leaders and champions return, so that would include wallace (he was a gym leader first) and juan if they're going by emerald as well.
