EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A MASTER...

[Jericho]

Man you all suck, you didn't even do the extended cut of the original theme. That said:

Everybody wants to show their skills...

[Klavier Gavin]

Those are some pretty tall buildings there...

Tall buildings, indeed.

[Solar]

Oh, forgot to post this;

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!

[Solar]

Yeah, really hoping this is just a beta thing and it's still there in the final product ;___;

Honestly, I'm not really liking the male MC so far...

[Sub Tank]

LET'S ENHANCE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF POKEMON, THE WORLD MAP!

[Acid]

I actually wanted to get back into Pokemon with HG/SS


But I'll skip them now.
