This update will bound to confuse people on DA, 4chan, and other places.

[Mirby]

This topic explains that the evos are fake (mostly), Isshu is NY, and other things.

You know, this one.

Of interest is the interview on Page 2.

[Gary Loaki]

apparently there's a pure ice evolution line based on...

ice cream.

edit; also, apparently smugleaf3 and wotter3 are confirmed fakes.

no word about pignite3, though.

editedit;

apparently the dark/ground crocodile has a full evolution line. his second form stands on his hind legs, while the third becomes slightly larger than the second, and red.

lolrumors.

editeditedit;

related.

[Rad Lionheart]

Rumours are so fun!

[Gaia]

Great, now we need a pokemon game that takes place in the underworld!

[Mirby]

ALL THE RUMORS SHALL BE ANSWERED...

ON THE 18TH!!

[SUIKA]

..Oh.

I logged on today expecting all this info to be out because I thought the games were out this weekend and not the next. Hahhh.. Not that I'm complaining. Now this means that I won't be receiving my copies late. In regards to that, I could still get both games if I wanted to have no money this week.

I'm excited.

[Rad Lionheart]

They're released on the 18th? I'll have to mark my calendar.
And by that I mean, remember manually because I don't have a calendar to mark.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

Wait. The 18th? Hm. I was way off.

[Mirby]

The Japanese versions come out on the 18th. Other regions I have no idea about.

[Solar]

Spring next year IIRC

[Rad Lionheart]

Japanese or not, I will play the [parasitic bomb] out of these games.
BOTH OF THEM, AT THE SAME TIME ON ONE DS.
Don't ask me how I will do it, I will find a way.

SUM EMULATOR ACTION UP IN DIS.


Me, however, I'll wait until the english release. When I'm playing, I like to know what I'm doing.

(Iris)

I told ya she'd be a gym leader.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

There's no Dark Gym? Boo.

[Solar]

Iris is the 8th leader? Well, that'll be amusing to see in the anime...wait a [tornado fang]ing second, unless my eyes deceive me or the manual doesn't bother to tell you now for some reason, there's no mention at all of HMs in there. Am I looking to much into it or does that mean they changed at least something about HMs?

That one girl, second from the bottom on the right hand side, her face and hair remind me of Erza from Fairy Tail for some reason.

[Gaia]

Iris is the 8th Gym Leader? Who knew. Looks like the anime (Best Wishes) is going back to the origional fourmla (where Ash hung out with TWO gym leaders), and most likely not a solo once Iris meets up with him.

..Wait a second, is that Vocaloid Lily? (above the girl above Iris)

[Pyro]

To that fifth gym leader I must say, "YEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW!"

[Klavier Gavin]

The HM's in the game are Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Waterfall, and Dive.

You can see the silhouetted images of the Gym Leader's badges here.

The game guides show that Black version has Iris as its eighth Gym Leader while White has an old man named Shaga as its eighth Gym Leader; Shaga was shown next to Iris in a commercial the other week. Be sure to see our previous post for information on all the Gym Leaders. There are a total of 11 Gym Leaders in eight Gyms.


I lol'd at the fact that Iris is the last gym leader in Black, while an old white guy is the last gym leader in White.

[Archer]

So, Smuglord is real.

I am happy.
