The Official Pokémon Black & White Discussion Thread

[Sakura Leic]

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.

[Protoman Blues]

I doubt it'll be Fire/Fighting again.

It could possibly be Dark/Fire.

[Pyro]

Have a look at that region. :v

It kind of reminds me of the NYC area for whatever reason. Maybe it's the placement of the bridges.

[Sakura Leic]

Now that I would love because I love dark types, but that could mean he could look evil....or smug.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm perfectly fine with that!   

Also, if the Legendary Whitey is Dragon/Fire, I might have to think about which game I pick up.

[Sakura Leic]

Eh I usually do what I usually do, I pick the second mentioned one, besides and electric dragon seems intresting.

[Solar]

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...


Also, honestly, I want to see wotter's evo much more than the other two.

Yeah it does as well.  But I've been wanting a Dragon/Fire for the longest time now.

That evo would make me happy.  Hell, I still want DarkWaltz's Psychic/Fire kitty!

Have some rumors.

- There will be 157 new Pokemon, bringing the total amount to 650.

- Like how Giratina compliments Dialga and Palkia, a large, green cobra will accompany Reshiram and Zekrom.

- Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.

- In previous games, either through moves or through abilities, players were able to alter the weather conditions of the battle field to boost certain types. For example, Groudon's Drought summons sunlight, which boosts Fire-type moves by 50%. In Black and White, players will be able to collect certain items that alter the weather conditions of the battle field. Approximately twenty of these items will affect the weather conditions so that they will boost certain types (kind of like Stadium cards in the TCG?), with some types getting added bonuses depending on the item. As a side note, in today's CoroCoro scans, there was a screenshot showing a new weather indicator (we overlooked it), which could give credence to this claim.

- One example will be setting up a Poison Field, which causes all Poison-type attacks to gain 30% accuracy, Sludge Bomb to have a 100% poison rate, and the effects of Toxic Spikes' poison to have an immediate effect.

- Black and white, good versus evil, and yin and yang are going to play a major part in the plot. However, unlike previous Pokemon games, the decisions and choices you make will "influence" the plot of the game. If you make "good" choices, you might get certain help or items, whereas "bad" choices could have negative effects. The point is that the plot will not be as cut-and-dry as previous games, changing depending on the player's actions.

- Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru had rough designs over this past year or so, but in the last few months received major overhauls, becoming the final designs we see today.

All from PokeBeach.

Also, this.

[Protoman Blues]

- Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.

Annnnnnnnnnd this will be trained and leveled up to 100 INSTANTLY!

[Sakura Leic]

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.

And I still claim that the grass starter will be a smug croc or gator.

[Protoman Blues]

Well I always start with fire, so we shall see.  Good thing I love my Pokabu!

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I can be a bit iffy on grass types anyway.

[Dr. Wily II]

If those rumours are true... Minotauros will be awesome.
And more "weather" effects... Poison field adding 30% accuracy to Poison moves... Oh god Gunk Shot. D:

Lastly...

Also, this.

This. Is. Brilliant.

[Solar]

And I still claim that the grass starter will be a smug croc or gator.

But it's a snake...

[Sakura Leic]

But it's a snake...

Snakes don't have legs. The closest thing it could be besides a croc or gator is a skink.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skink

[Dr. Wily II]

Even so, it is labeled as the Grass Snake Pokemon... *shrug*

[Sakura Leic]

...Okay they really skipped zoology class, snakes can't have legs.

[Solar]

@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.

Actually a quick google search reveals that they can, or at least, could.

[Sakura Leic]

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.

[Dr. Wily II]

@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:
...
...
...
What a fitting end.

[Protoman Blues]

Maybe Smugleaf will be a Chupacabra?

[Sakura Leic]

If that's true then if there are any goat pokemon they should run for their lives.

[Dr. Wily II]

The Mareep line is close enough as sheep.

[Solar]

Maybe Smugleaf will be a Chupacabra?

Quick! Anyone with Mareeps/Flaafies/Ampharos hide them quickly! D:

...and Arceus too, it looks close enough.
