Wait...

So migrating my Groudon from Ruby won't let me get Rayquaza in HG?

WRRRRRYYYYYY??????

Police Girl · **Reply #1426 on:** October 18, 2010, 02:47:15 AM

I just did the easy thing and transferred Kyogre and Rayquaza over. Then got Groudon in my SS.

Ewww... those are horrible. I think I'll stick with the JP names.

Realy? Tepig? Is that supposed to be a play on Tepid?

And Unova? Nova means New, I think, so that's probably what they're referencing there.

And Oshawott makes no sense at all.

At least Snivy works (Snide + ivy)

Actually that'd be Snake+Ivy

Snivy>Oshawott>Tepig (in names only though)...still, I think I'll stick with Smugleaf, Wotter, and Pignite. Also, why rename Isshu?

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1432 on:** November 23, 2010, 02:25:38 AM

...Tepig really?

It's a good thing I nickname my pokemon, and I already decided to name him Hakkai a few months ago and Yannappu is going to be Goku. Now if only I had a Pokemon for Sanzo and Gojyo because honestly I don't know what kind of pokemon could be a priest and a water sprite and still be decent for the first playthrough.

"So you're the one with the same codename as the boss."

Easy choice.

Grass starter for me here.

Karai · **Reply #1435 on:** November 24, 2010, 07:17:12 PM

Snivy is a good name for my starter.
But what's with the region name change? Every other name was ok, and suddenly Isshu is bad?

Police Girl · **Reply #1436 on:** December 28, 2010, 01:17:05 AM

Release date announced.

B&W on March 6th, 2011.

Nice, early in the month.

Well, Isshu is based on New Youk, so they just give it a Japanese Name, can it?

Also, wow. People complaining about the 5th Gen Starter Names.

Where was the hate for Pochama's dub name?

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1438 on:** December 28, 2010, 08:19:13 AM

There was no reason to change Gear.

I like the original ability names over the localized ones. (Sheer force is the exception.)

STM · **Reply #1440 on:** December 28, 2010, 10:20:50 AM

Definitely naming Klink to Col. Klink.

Big Pecks is also hilarious.

Pyro · **Reply #1441 on:** December 28, 2010, 05:11:05 PM

I thought I'd name my Pokemon in BW after Canadian cities because Oshawott sounds like a combination of "Oshawa" and "Ottawa" (therefore I'm naming my Oshawott, "Ottawa"). Tepig is going to be called Toronto (because its nickname is Hog Town), and Snivy will likely be Calgary or maybe after my hometown since we have more than enough snakes.

Since nobody posted this here, the shiny G/S/C beasts are going to be downloadable at GameStop in the coming weeks. Raikou from Jan. 3-9, Entei from Jan. 17-23, and Suicune from Jan 31-Feb. 6.

If you want the Zoroark event in Black/White, you'll need one of them.

Mirby · **Reply #1443 on:** December 29, 2010, 02:24:58 AM

Then I'd better get my DS so I can get them on mah HG.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1444 on:** December 29, 2010, 03:15:29 AM

...Big Pecks, are they serious? Well at least Pansage gives me more reason to name him Goku but I have no idea what to call Blitzle.

[tornado fang] you Nintendo, what about everyone else outside the US/Canada =/

Reaperoid · **Reply #1446 on:** December 29, 2010, 04:26:13 AM

I already have my shiny beasts and Celebi on my ENG Gen4 ready for my upcoming ENG White, got them from a friend who got them from the JP movie 13 distributions.
Plus I got some help with my JP Black (no JP Gen4 carts :<), so I've caught Zorua and Zoroark on there too. Worst comes to worst, I can trade them to White for the records.

Also, on another note, it's not been mentioned that Canada will actually be receiving the beasts as well. The only restriction is that English carts (xxxE game code) can receive them, considering that HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first games to officially be sold in French in Canada.

Mirby · **Reply #1447 on:** December 29, 2010, 05:17:39 AM

Blitzle? I shall get him to accompany my Blitzwei!!

Then agian, ZAPDOS doesn't need the help soo...

Reaperoid · **Reply #1448 on:** December 31, 2010, 05:19:52 AM

The shiny beast distribution cart has been dumped.
A GAMESTP Celebi is also in there, and 'can be obtained' from Feb 27 ~ Mar 7 depending on whether Gamestop does anything.

Police Girl · **Reply #1449 on:** January 02, 2011, 01:16:37 AM

Sounds awesome. Been a long time since ANYBODY in the US was able to get Celebi legitimately.
