According to Serebii, there has been a new Pokémon released Shijikaka (ã,·ã,ã,¸ã,«), based off of a deer and possibly a pre-evolution to Stantler... Slow will find this one "cute"
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fserebii.net%2Fblackwhite%2Fdeer.jpg&hash=95e42c5b2ce1f3c7a03edd55169dac97c29814fc)
The Successor to the Contests in Hoenn, the Super Contests in Sinnoh and the Pokéathlon in Johto will possibly be the "Music Show"

Also, seasons will exist in parts of the game (with a picture given showing autumn)

The Villainous Team of Isshu will be Team Plasma (no picture can be found for this one)
The now announced PokéShifter is shown below (as well as its entrance):

PokéShifter is going to be similar to PokéPark in Generation IV

I love the sound of "Team Plasma". I can just keep saying it again... and again (team plasma...team plasma...)
What does a music show have anything to do with pokemon?
Stantler having a pre-evolution would be awesome! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who likes it. x)
Yeah, team Plasma sounds cool.
And have you guys seen the evolution of Minezumi, Miruhoggu? Kinda ugly if you ask me... but I guess I'll get used to it. :P

It's called Music show, but it's going to be the same as the other contests, at least I think so. There'll be a dress-up performance like in Sinnoh, so we can expect having moves contests and stuff like that.

I'm not familiar with their Japanese names... so please post a pic. :)
And the Stantler thing is really cute. I hope they give Slowpoke another evolution, or maybe a baby (accidental rhyme!).
EDIT: I'm really glad that they're now making an actual difference between the games - Black City, etc. - other than version-exclusive Pokemon. :) Now we won't feel so guilty about buying both. :D
I know! I want to buy both (and I probably will preorder both and set one aside until I feel like playing the other one)

Pre-evolution of Stantler would be pretty amazing
I really like Minezumi (for Slow, its the Squirrel Pokémon), but it's evolution is just plain ugly. It's probably going to be one of the first Pokémon you can catch like Sentret, Zigzagoon or Bidoof.
For Slow... again, here's the link to all the B&W Pokémon: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

Here's the link of its evolution, you'll probably recognize Minezumi when you see them.
And I'll probably buy both too... if I have enough money that is.
I'm gonna buy Black when it comes out - see if it's good enough to buy White later. :P Same goes for my brother, except he's getting White first. :)
So, we have more news for BW!
There will be a subway throughout Isshu called the "Battle Subway"
There is a release of the newest gym leader
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.serebii.net%2Fblackwhite%2Faroe.jpg&hash=bc13af95b4659bfaebd1d53ff64e847c9053b48d)
Here's the newest trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqfi2mp44UI
New Trainer classes were made, including an American football player, a nurse or flight attendant, a backpacker, and a baker.
WATCH THE VIDEO... it explains everything... in japanese!
I lol'd when I saw the Football player and the Chef. But at least there'll be more variety than the usual trainers we face.
Cool trailer - can't wait to catch my cute little chinchilla...
I think so, too...
it looks like the musical thing is similar to a contest, but different... probably more in depth dance from the Super Contests in Sinnoh
I don't like the Super Contests... so silly. I like the Hoenn Contests.
There may be just more than the dress-up part in the contests. At least I hope so. And I don't think I'll catch a Chillarmy, I don't really like it. :P
Quote from: Roz~ on July 30, 2010, 10:44:02 AMThere may be just more than the dress-up part in the contests. At least I hope so. And I don't think I'll catch a Chillarmy, I don't really like it. :P
Same... I will definitely catch Wooguru. It looks powerful!
If its more dress up stuff, then i probably wont do it.
I never really enjoyed contests, so I'll see how the ones in BW are going to turn out. And yeah, Wooguru is definitely be a member of my team!
I never did like them either. I just did them cause I already beat everything else. Overall, the Hoenn ones are probably the best out of them all
I don't like Flying-types, and I'm not letting that stupid HM decide my team... so I will probably be without a Fly Pokemon.
Maybe I'll make a ChillARMY.
HAHAHAHA
...oh, come on, bear with me.
I don't like Flying-types much either, but Wooguru looks to damn cool compared to the other Flying-types. I mean, compare it to Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor... It can kick their asses anytime :D
Lookswise, I have to agree with you. :D And if there's some new weird combination of types that involve Flying, I'll consider training one.
YES IT CAN... though it may have a little resistance facing a Skymory
And Slow, maybe you wont need fly since there's a subway now!
Quote from: SlowPokemon on July 30, 2010, 10:56:46 AMLookswise, I have to agree with you. :D And if there's some new weird combination of types that involve Flying, I'll consider training one.
Yeah, I wish there were less Normal/Flying combinations... Having a Pokemon whose typing starts with flying would be cool too. Just because there aren't any yet.
Or if there was a pure Flying-type. Alas, I think it will never be. :)
Yep, that'd be great. We can only hope there'll be one... but yeah, there won't be any.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on July 30, 2010, 11:02:03 AMOr if there was a pure Flying-type. Alas, I think it will never be. :)
Definitely a pure Flying type will probably be super awesome! I hate the Normal/Flying combinations like the new Gen V bird Pokémon. Chances are pretty slim for that one. I do want to see a Flying/Water Pokémon that is based off a bird instead of Gyarados
I wanna see some new evolutions and pre-evolutions! The babies and extra evolutions were really cool in Johto. There was a depressingly pathetic amount in Hoenn (Azurill and Wynaut), but the Sinnoh ones were amazing! I hope there are more to come!
And I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but - Girafarig's tail is a chain chomp.
That was an easter egg!!
They may make a giraffarig pre-evolution, too... I should train my Giraffarig. I may have a good shot with it somewhere!

I looooooove Girafarig. It'd be great if it could have either an evolution or a pre-evolution.
Am I the only one who think that there were too many new evolution to older Pokemon? Seriously, there weren't many new 'mons, just evolutions. Seeing a couple of them would be nice, but I prefer having brand new Pokemon instead of evolving old ones.
I trained a Girafarig in Platinum once. Its type combination is awkward, but it has only two weaknesses, and its nice mixture of physical and special attack stats and moves complement it surprisingly nicely.
Yep, it's a pretty good Pokemon when you know how to use it. Show the thing some love! It deserves more than it is receiving. x)
Girafarig is the "secret" that no one really takes notice to.
... and I agree with Roz, they should make more new Pokémon and spread out the evolutions across the generations
It's definitely one of the more original designs of Gen II - up there with Sudowoodo.
Yeah, it sure is. I like its original design too - instead of it's black tail, it was another giraffe, and I think it looked cool. I prefer the final one though.
I did too, but the final one is the way to go! Stantler was kinda cool... really good Attack power there!
Yep!
Slowpoke will always be one of my favorites, though. No matter what. <3
People mocked me 'cause I used a Stantler when I was a kid. And then I beat them with it. :D
And my favorite's always gonna be Poliwhirl. Shiny Poliwhirl is awsm. <3
And shiny Slowpoke is fail. :D
Slowpoke is just so innocent... I loved it in the anime episode "Island of the Giant Pokemon". :)
People thought I was nuts when I used Sneasel... they were wrong there. Sneasel can be pretty amazing at times!! It can take down a Psychic and Dragon Pokémon with some damage
... im NOT a Weaville fan at all... no sir-e
And, Slow, I personally like Slowbro a little better... just a little, though
Slowbro is amazing! I like it over Slowking myself, but I train a Slowking because it's better.
And I'm not a fan of Weavile or Sneasel - in the original games, up to D/P/Pt, Sneasel was useless because of its high attack stat, and all of its STAB moves were special.
makes sense for you then... I used physical attacks. Dark Pokémon have weak special attacks and weak defenses and powerful attack stats!!
Slowking is too overrated

Not as much as Slowbro. Shiny Slowbro = Epic Fail.
Truly an epic fail... I've seen some other shiny epic fails
Now a Charizard Shiny... EPIC WIN!
I don't like it that much, and don't get why people like it. I think it looked better in 3rd gen games. And they should give him sprites similar to FR/LG, it really looked badass.
definitely better in the 3rd Gen... I just liked the black... made it seem much more powerful
When I beat Red, even though Squirtle is my favorite Pokémon, ill probably go with Charmander... who had a horrible sprite in the 3rd Gen... same with Squirtle
Yay. We got both Bambi and Chip&Dale in Pokémon now. Seriously, look at those gophers!
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Kibago_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29
Also, who wants to bet this is going to be a pseudo-legendary when it grows up?
There's no such thing as a pseudo-legendary IMO, but I'll bet it will follow in the lines of Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, and Garchomp. :P
I'll consider training it, actually.
You just said the pseudo-legendaries... they exist. Just look it up on Bulbapedia
I may consider training Kibago... but I've stuck training one pseudo-legendary and that's Dragonite
I'm probably going to train a Kibago. I think it looks pretty cool.
I have a feeling its going to be extremely similar to the larvaitar family!
It does look pretty cool. Bet a million dollars Ash trains one. ;P
Ash should've had a Dratini. ;_; But he's only trained one pseudo-legendary so far, so we'll have to wait and see.
Ash will probably get a Garchomp at the last moment in the Sinnoh league, only to give it away five minutes later. That's how it works. Also note that his Pikachu will be able to defeat a Scizor/Lucario/Hippowdon/Salamence/Somethingelseoverusedthatnonormalpikachushouldhaveanyhopesofeverevenscatching, but when he goes to Isshu, it'll be defeated by a small bird. In one single move.
Yup. That's why I hate Ash. Oh, who am I kidding? You can't hate Ash... but I am bitter about that. :P
I agree, that's just ridiculous, but it does makes sense. What if Ash arrives in Isshu and kicks everyone's ass because his 'mons are powerful? They don't really have a choice but to do that.
Yeah, but it's ASH. They have to make him a role model for young kids. Even if the new Ash is completely butchered in all manners.
Ash used to be soooooo cool. You know, during the first and second gen shows. He was awsm. Now he's just... yeah. Average. And Misty's gone. I hope she comes back in the Isshu seasons. She was great. ;_; They totally ruined the Pokemon show.
Ash was freaking awesome... now he's a wuss... it's like he restarts over again... pikachu too. One moment a taillow beats pikachu and another it beats a dragonite. two ends just dont add up. all of his Pokémon esp Pikachu should be at like level 10000 with stats through the roof. they shows creators just have to make ash lose at something
That's way better than having him win all the time IMO.
And I HATE Ash's new voice actor. Sounds too much like Naruto (which I hate...). I miss Victoria Justice's voice for Ash.
If anyone can tell me what other main character Victoria Justice voiced, I will be rather impressed.

Uh... its Veronica Taylor, and she voiced May during the Advanced Generation
I knew Victoria Justice didn't sound right.
If they get Veronica Taylor back, I'll start watching the anime 24/7 lol
4Kids no longer produces Pokémon though... its now Pokémon USA, so they did it with all the voice actors... same with Megan Hollingshead with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny et al.
Sorry to double post... but
Pokémon Sunday released footage from the new Anime series starting sometime in September. It shows the two people travelling with Ash: Iris and "new guy"

Hmm, just noticed it, but the footage you posted isn't from the anime season, but from the upcoming movie Best Wishes.
This came directly Copy+Paste from Serebii
In The Animé Department
First Best Wishes Footage
Pokémon Sunday has just aired the first footage of Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes. This footage showed various aspects including Iris, the new boy that joins them and various other parts of the show. This new saga of the anime is set to air in September 2010, presumably on the 23rd. It also shows that Iris has a Kibago, as previously expected and confirms the new character's appearance and his name of Dento Our friends at Filb will have a video shortly
I know. But it clearly says that those images are from the movie, and that the new season should start at the end of September, not that those images are footage of the new season.
No... but these characters will be in both the movie and tv series
So. I wish Bulbapedia would publish this week's "On the Origin of Species" column. :P
The guy is almost done with it... it should ne up by Tuesday
Yah probably.
I know! I'm a Bulbapedia staff member
Yeah I know. :) MARILLROCKS!
Have you made your page on Bulbapedia yet?
Nah, I don't know if I'm going to. :P
My page took a while to construct, especially all the boxes
Yeah, that's a lot of time and I probably won't use it all that much, so...
Then it makes sense not to... I'm on there twice daily, soo...
I've thought a little about some kinds of moves and items we might see in gen. V:
Choice Lens: Same as Choice Band/Specs/Scarf, but improves Accuracy rather than offense/speed. Be prepared to face more Hydro Pump, Thunder, Cross Chop, Stone Edge, Focus Blast, etc. than earlier. Any defensive Choice items would be conter-productive, as no defensive moves are spammable, and the purpose of Choice items is "Hit'n'run".
Fire priority move: Would spell demise for Scizor, Ninjask, Weavile and a lot of other fast but frail attackers. Especially Scizor.
Ice/Electric-type Hyper Beams: We've got one of many types (Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Rock, Dragon, and Normal again), and it would only be natural to assume that more will follow.
A stronger Dark-type move: Come on, the strongest one yet has Base Power 80. That being said, Assurance, Payback, Fling and Punishment can have base powers of 100, 100, 130 and 200, respectively, given the right conditions.
Also see what Smogon wrote in The Smog #9.
A new Pokemon was leaked : A kind of caterpillar, probably going to be like Caterpie/Weedle.
http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml
Oh, great. Another clone. Caterpie, Weedle, those are okay. Wurmple made me frown. This one even more. It seems like odd-numbered generations feature three-stage evolution bugs, while even-numbered generations feature two-stage evolutions.
That being said, while unoriginal, I find this new bug cute. Guess it is its simplistic design.
So far I like the 5 gen 'mons. And who knows, maybe this bug Pokemon won't be a clone; it may have different moves/typing.
They've announced Victini's type - Psychic/Fire. Weird combo, but a cool one. It also has an ability called Victory Star.
Psychic and Fire? Now that's cool.
And so far, im digging the new Pokémon
Yeah, it's cool to see them come out with more. :)
Im looking forward to a Psychic/Water and a Ghost/Electric type
Slowpoke and Rotom. There ya go.
... but something different than that (and dont say slowbro and slowking)
but something I really want to see is a Ghost/Fire or a Ghost/Water type
Yeah, I know. :) I was just being my usual smart-alecky jerkish self.
Ghost/Fire or Ghost/Water would be cool... but Ghost/Grass seems interesting. :P
a non-legendary Psychic/Grass (with the primary being psychic) would be cool (because Exeggcute/Exeggutor are primary grass)
Yeah... my two favorite types...
together, they will fear bug-types!
that may be the big weakness
Luckily, one doesn't come across Bug-type moves very often. :)
^^Aside from the weaknesses to Fire, Poison, Flying, Ice, Dark and Ghost, you mean?
yes, but... poison will be counter balanced since psychic is the primary type, so the move wont be as effective as it would on a grass type.
Sorry to say, but the order in which the types are presented are actually just for aestethic purposes. For example, Tyranitar is clearly a Rock Pokémon, so his primary type is Rock, but he has all the qualities of a Dark-type as well. Likewise, Zapdos is "an Electric thing that can fly", Parasect is "A bug with a plant on its back", Bulbasaur is "A plant that happens to be poisonous", etc. Thus, the types are presented in that order. A Psychic/Grass type would work exactly like a Grass/Psychic one in every aspect.
Yeah, Dr Pamplemousse, that has no significance at all. :)
But look at Dragonite, a Dragon/Flying type... Dragon's are barely affected by electric moves and flying types are really affected, but in Dragonite's case, damage is 1x instead of 1/2x or 1/5x... both counteract each other... so how does that work out, huh?
Umm, because it's supereffective on Flying, but not very effective on Dragon, so it cancels out! Hello? Are you just now figuring this out? ;P
Yeah. Say, type A is weak to Attack move T, so T deals 2x damage to a Pokémon of the A type.
Then Type B is resistant to T, so T deals 0.5x damage to Pokémon of the A type.
If a Pokémon is dual-type AB, damage will first be calculated for type A, then for B. In Dragonite's case, Electric attacks will be halved in effect before being doubled again. If it had been Flying/Dragon, it would have been doubled, then halved. Both equations put it back to 1x effectivenes.
Sorry, just had to elaborate.
Yeah, that's perfectly fine...
Even if you do the primary type first, the result is still the same.
No... say we take exeggecute witch is grass/psychic and a poison move is used... first it would take 1.5x damage and multiply that by .5x to make it equal the virtual 1x final damage of the move on exeggcute
The poison move would first do 2x damage, like any Super Effective move. Twice the damage, look it up on Serebii (http://serebii.net/games/damage.shtml), Bulbapedia (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Super_effective#Super_effective) or Smogon (http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/damage_formula), they all say the same.
Also, Psychic is not resistant to Poison (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Psychic_%28type%29#Generation_II-onward).
Yup, it's true. Sorry. :P
Wait, so super effective moves are 2 and critical hits are 1.5 then? And is psychic and poison one of those types where both types (like ice and dragon) both supereffective to each other
No, Psychic is super effective against poison, and Poison is normal damage against Psychic.
Everything else you said is right though. :)
Oh... I must have gotten those mixed up
Yah, that's fine.
I told you I restarted my HeartGold again, right? Well, I started with Chikorita (couldn't help myself) and I WAS planning on only training that, so the game would be more of a challenge. But then my Togepi hatched shortly after I got it, and had Serene Grace. x-)
So, I am training it. I'll make a full team now. I'll have Meganium, Togetic (Togekiss)...
Any suggestions? :) I want to train Slowpoke again, but either evolve it into Slowbro or not evolve it at all. (It's SO adorable as a Slowpoke!)
I also may train only three, or something like that.
But you must speak up before I go and choose them myself. :)
Slowpoke and growlithe, cause an arcanine has high base stats
I was considering Growlithe, but I see more potential in Magmar. So I may go that route. Or I may decide that Togepi and Bayleef are enough to go on by themselves.
And Slowpoke's not definite. I could train a Poliwag, or Wooper, or Chinchou.
Then there's the matter of other things... I could train a Jynx! :D
I'm not going so much for "good choices" here as I am personal favorites. So if my team sucks, it won't really matter.
a Jynx would be pretty cool!
Some More B/W News:
Junichi Masuda, in a blog post, stated that Pokémon from Gen V will be the ONLY Pokémon available to Pokémon trainers until the national dex is acquired! This will enable the new AND seasoned player a new, fresh start with the newest Pokémon instead of relying on originals
Sounds nice.
Oh, and critical hits are 2x as well. Check the links I provided.
Choice Band/Scarf is a 1.5x multiplier, though.
I have no idea how I got the 1.5x multiplier in the first place... maybe that's how it used to be way back when. hmm.
Nope. 1.5x damage if its a STAB move. :)
And they better make like 150 - 200 Pokemon if that's the only gen we can catch. :)
Hmm, I think it's gonna be interesting. And yeah, they won't have a choice but to create a whole bunch of new Pokemon. That's cool, there'll be more than just evolutions. :D
Yep! With Johto, we got one hundred brand-new Pokemon, a relatively small number... from there, we got a whopping 134 from Hoenn (though not all were as good of quality)... and then we were all disappointed with the meager 109 Sinnoh monsters, which in some cases were even lower quality than Hoenn, and at least twenty to thirty of them were new evolutions, pre-evolutions, or legendaries.
But from what we've seen of Isshu, perhaps Game Freak will once again win us over and have us clamoring for the next batch. Come on, Sugimori! Don't mess this up!
well, i remember way back when when I got 150 brand-spanking-new Pokémon... haha
the number of new Pokémon will probably be around 140 or so
I say that we'll get either 150 on the dot or 200 on the dot. :)
well, theyre probably going to pull a Sinnoh in the capacity of around 130-160 new Pokémon or 180-200 new Pokémon + evolutions to older Pokémon
All of a sudden, it just hit me that they're releasing new Pokemon again. My heart swelled and I fully realized for the first time how excited I am. :'(
youre probably more excited than me... i just cant wait to play it next month!!
I am going to try not to look up the Pokemon. It's more of an adventure if I meet them during the game!
And I will also try not to spoil the music... but no promises. ;)
i've already heard some route music... not the best quality at the time, but i may come to like it... a definite departure from sinnoh music
WOOHOO! MOAR NEW POKEMANS!
-Prepares to que "AWWW" from Slow Pokemon-

This is Emonga, the Electric-Flying type, the Flying Squirrel Pokémon

I was waiting for Emonga. Yet another never-used electric rodent which is a blatant clone of Pikachu, just like Pichu, Plusle, Minun and Pachirisu. Hell, look at it! The same eyes as the aforementioned Pokémon, Pikachu's chins and mouth, and even Pikachu's tail and arms.
This is so far the least original Pokémon of Generation V AND IV combined.
Gigaiasu is cool, though.
... you do have to admit that that Pokémon does have a pretty awesome set of ears!
Gigaiasu won't be on my list for training... ive never been a fan of rock types in the first place

Yeah, it's not really surprising. I think it
is more original than Pachirisu.
Shikijika's appearance changing with the season might be cool.
Gigaiasu's nice. I should train one.
Emonga is the evolved form of Pachirisu, DUH. I'm guessing, anyway... electric type... same Pikachu cheeks...
And they're both squirrels, Emonga being a more advanced one.
Oh, and AWWWW!
you added an extra W.... haha
I'll agree with Roz... definitely moar original than pachirisu... by FAR. I may train one, but thats unlikely Hopefully this one will have an evolution into something less Pikachu like
I'd rather have the electric zebra. :P I think. Maybe.
Well, thats a given... but this flying squirrel will NOT be in my main team.
I have officially decided I will start with Pokabu... because Im switching from my norm of water types and switching things up a bit!

I'm also starting with Pokabu, because it's my favorite among all 3. I wanted to do the same as you, i.e switching from my norm of fire-types, but I don't like Mijumaru nor Tsutaja.
Ah... i always chose Piplup for Gen IV except for Turtwig one time, because Torterra is pretty beast... and Mudkip for Gen III (though I tried every starter there)... and I have raised a Chimchar, too
Shimama is definitely a member of my team, too!!!
MOAR NEWZ!
So, it looks like Aloe, the Black woman in the dress is now a gym leader.
And below are the seasonal forms of Shikijika

I wonder if it'll evolve. And wasn't the Aloe thing old news? :P
Just as a person significant. It gave the name of the city she was the leader of
I wonder what its evolution will looks like if it evolves!

Another picture. Shows the silhouette of Shikijika's evolution. Also shows a kind of broccoli monkey, Burokko. His name comes from the word Broccoli too.
Some websites say those are fake, some say they're real. I guess only time can tell.
I cant wait to see Shikijika's evolution! That Broccoli monkey looks funny and that fish.. creepy
The fish is probably the equivalent of Magikarp and Feebas. At least I think so. And the monkey looks weird.
so the fish is gonna be pretty weak and then evolve into some dragon-esque Pokémon and be like really strong?
So I think I have a team built
Pokabu, Shimama, Gochiruzeru, Wooguru, Shikijika, and the sixth will be chosen later
I like all three starters, but as you know, I'm a sworn Grass-picker. On my White version I will probably start with Pokabu because it's the cutest. Then maybe I'll restart White and pick Mijumaru. Mijumaru is cool because Water-types are amazing. <3
Anyway, all that's definite is Tsutaja and Chillarmy...because it's adorable... and maybe Munna or the Black version Psychic-type exclusive. Definitely have to have a Psychic-type.
And probably the electric zebra.
BTW I read those scans are fake... everything except the deer thing's seasonal changes.
But I could be wrong. It doesn't really matter; I don't especially like any of them even if they are real.

the black version psychic thing is Gochiruzeru and the electric zebra is Shimama! Roz and I are going to have SO similar teams (probably 3 or 4 of the same Pokémon)

Actually the scans are real, but the translations were wrong. At least that's what I've read. The Broccoli monkey was seen earlier as a toy, so I guess we can't really say those 'mons are fake.

... or real for that matter
Mine will probably change, too... 6 weeks to the day until BW comes out in Japan, and then another four days to get EMU patches, so I will be playing the game after my first week of college is OVA!

I'd like to do that too. But it would kinda spoil the game, so it wouldn't be as fun when it'd come out.
Or, since the versions are going to be MORE different, ill play one and buy the other
... or when the release date is announced, and its reasonable, I'll wait
More Victini details...
its ability, Victory Star, raises the accuracy of Victini and any partner.
BTW... I still need to download the Enigma Stone.
... ouch. I have like 6 latias and latios across all my games, so im good, but i still got the enigma stone!

Yeah, I'll probably do that. Try White and buy Black.
Because I like Reshiram over Zekrom anyways (the White legendary thing).
And Gochiruzeru is Black exclusive!

The bug pokemon is Kurumiru. He's a bug/grass-type pokemon. It has Swarm and Chlorophyll as abilities. It also has a new move called Bug Resistance. Seems like it could attack 2 opponents at once.
Moguryuu has two new abilities, Sand Throw and Sand Power.
It seems like there'll be 2 different boxes for each games : one where Reshiram and Zekrom tails will be glowing and one where they won't. I wonder if there'll be any differences in the games.
I guess the boxes are just glow-in-the-dark. No difference.
Yep, it would be hard to make FOUR different games, and release them in a timely manner
Here's the release by Serebii
* Pokémon
This Pokémon is called Basurao (ãƒã,¹ãƒ©ã,ª)which knows Aqua Jet & Uproar as well as Headbutt. In the demo, it is used by Cheren

It has a new attack called Bug Resistance (ã,€ã—ã®ã¦ã,,ã"ã†) which is said to allow it to attack two opponents at once. To what extent we don't know but it should be clarified when we get clearer scans
* Next, we have Moguryu (モã,°ãƒªãƒ¥ãƒ¼), the mole Pokémon shown in Oha Suta in June. It is the Mole Pokémon It is 0.3m tall and weighs 8.5kg and is a Ground-type Pokémon and has one of two new abilities; Sand Throw (ã™ãªã‹ã) and Sand Power (ã™ãªã®ã¡ã‹ã,‰ ) which boosts the power of moves in a sandstorm

* Game Details
Rotation Battles have been further confirmed. They indicate that the strategy lies in trying to determine which Pokémon and attack your opponent will use
* Miracle Shooter has been revealed to be the aspect of the games seen in a single image back in June. During wireless battles, you can earn points through turns. When you have enough points, you can then use an item

* You start your journey in Kanoko Town (ã,«ãƒŽã,³ã,¿ã,¦ãƒ³)
* Miscellaneous In some cases, the game box art is slightly different, showing Reshiram & Zekrom's tails illuminated. It is not known for what reason this is
* A new image has come from the Pokémon Searcher BW tour which confirms that the seasonal changes affect more than just Shikijika. As seen in the image below, new parts of the areas become accessible within different seasons, in this example a snow pile gives access to a higher cliff. It also appears that the main characters get costume changes for the seasons.
* Accompanying the image came details on a new pink Pokémon called Tabunne (ã,¿ãƒ–ンãƒ) which is Level 10 in the demo. It is said to be Normal-type and knows the moves Growl, Helping Hand & Double Slap. There is no evidence confirming the existence of this Pokémon yet but we'll bring you it as soon as it's out.
Roz posted some pictures above!
The Sewing Pokemon??? That makes no sense unless it's a silkworm.
its probably a silkworm, so... what does it evolve into? A white moth?
Anyone has a link to the female trainer image? I can't seem to find one, and I really need it.
Also here something new :
We now have confirmation that Wild Pokémon change depending on the seasons.
Victini appears at the bottom of the Liberty Garden Tower and will re-appear straight away if you knock it out.
The wild pokemon changing with the season really is interesting imho.
Ill try and find a picture of her. does she have to be alone?
you could photoshop this one. ;D

Other BW News
Sturdy eliminates attacks that take away all of its HP
Your Global Link can add skins to the Pokédex and C-Gear, download new songs to the Pokémon Musical.
The Dream World is a place where you can find Pokémon without their normal abilities and the only place where berries grow
Team Plasma can be considered like PETA, or something similar. They are stealing Pokémon to "liberate" them and "free them from oppression"
Also, Minezumi's evolution, Miruhoggu has a better picture, found below

Yay! TMs no longer disappear after use! Finally, we can dish out Earthquake, Swords Dance, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Return, Facade and the like as much as we want!
Though, I expect TMs to be way more expensive in stores...
... or you can get them cheaper in Gen IV, attach them to your Pokémon and transfer them over to B&W... unless they change the TM numbers on us
Pokémon Black & White - Kanto Starter Givaway
A new book coming out on September 10th in Japan, containing articles and interviews about Pokémon Black & White in addition to an introduction of various game elements, is going to include some passwords for the Pokémon Global Link's Dream World which will allow you to transfer and capture a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle from the Dream World into your Black and/or White games. Like the other Dream World Pokémon, these starters have alternate abilities to normal. We'll provide more details as and when they're out.
Seems like we'll be able to get one of the Kanto starters, which is nice.
seems pretty cool. though we'll be getting them after the National Dex
Yeah. I'm guessing they'll have new moves/abilities, kinda like Vaporeon and Glaceon.

Vaporeon (and all other Pokemon) don't have new abilities - they can have other abilities only when caught in the dream world.
And yes, that will be the case with Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charmander.
And yes, I meant to list Charmander last. xD

HOW DARE YOU PUT CHARMANDER LAST!!!
Do you have any class? haha
I cant wait for B/W... a month and 4 days (and then we may know when the us release date is)
I do have class, as a matter of fact... Literature, History, Psychology... Oh right.
I like Bulbasaur, you know that!
And Professor Layton 3 comes out September 12...save the date (directed towards me, mostly).
Hey! That's when I leave for college. And Psych... UGH! I have to take that dumb class for GE. Its the only class that I have a discussion AND a lecture in... which means i have to wake up for an 8 am class once a week... FML (haha... I actually have it easy)
Bulbasaur beats Battlestar Galactica... haha, but I look at the final product (eg Venusaur) and me no likey

I'm having a general formation in Cegep, so I don't really have a choice but to have a lot of different courses. And I hated statistics. x)
And no, they didn't. They showed a bunch of kids doing some kinds of exercises. I don't really remember the rest, but nothing new/relevant was mentioned.

I took statistics out of a fear (and aversion) to Calculus... I have no use for it and I loathe upper level math with a passion. I love Statistics, though. Besides Statistics and Psych, I have to take Public Speaking and this class called the Legal Responsibilities of Business

You don't know? I just talked to his mom yesterday. He locked up all his electronic devices, except for a computer (which he removed the wireless card from) and was reading, doing yoga, and writing.
I don't think he's coming back anytime soon. I have no clue.
O__O
Wow, he must be really stressed.
His toe must be affecting his brain.
Maybe he can room together with his mom at a mental institution. :P
No, it's definitely not that (stress or mental). I can tell you about what's going on in his life via email or PM (cause it REALLY sucks). Yoga and writing helps him clear his mind of all the bad stuff happening right now (though the toe thing kinda added to it a bit)
Got it, feel free. :P

He's just fine! Slow can send you the message I sent him if you want to know more (since I don't know how to save outgoing PMs)
Yeah, it'd be nice if he could.
Well, I just got on because I decided to get up early to watch some anime stuff. I can't believe that Black and White have over 1 million pre-orders in Japan! It must be pretty exciting!
Slow hasn't been on today, but he should be able to forward you the message I PM'd him!
I did when I was on at four-thirty... Roz should already have it.
I literally got home from school, banged out a quick rushed outline for English class, then left for my parents' pizza restaurant... I am back now, however!

There's nothing really new in the BW news
I guess it's the calm before the storm :P
yep, as always!
Pokemon Black and White has just reached over 1 million preorders in Japan, making it the fastest-selling ds game ever.
Quote from: SuperRiolu on August 23, 2010, 02:45:28 PMWell, I just got on because I decided to get up early to watch some anime stuff. I can't believe that Black and White have over 1 million pre-orders in Japan! It must be pretty exciting!
Slow hasn't been on today, but he should be able to forward you the message I PM'd him!

A little late, huh?
I kinda want to preorder it, but I won't understand much since my Japanese's not that good. I'll buy both black and white though, even if they're not that different.
EDIT: Man, Ash looks so gay in his Best Wishes clothes. ;_; I've never thought it could actually be worse.

This is gonna be a bad new anime... bad clothes for ash, no brock... its horrid.
Yep, sure is. I'm going to watch some of the episodes just to see how it's going to turn out. Apparently the anime's going to be fast paced which is awesome.
I reckon he should of decided to wear the clothes from Kanto/Johto again. I wonder what isshu will be like in the Anime
HATERS
:D
Ash doesn't look gay at all, it's just the expression on his face. And no Brock is a plus for me. This could be the first season in a while that I actually like.
Ash is just wearing... too much white on his clothes. Maybe a mod of his current clothes may be a bit better.
This new guy Dento, I may be able to relate (because I have a secret passion for cooking, and since he is a Sommelier... that could be cool. SuperRiolu can relate even more because his summer job is a Sommelier... and you have to have an EXTENSIVE knowledge to have that job, of wine that is... I may be a restaranteur while I am in college, and run a restaurant for an owner who is just too lazy)
And if it's fast paced, I may take a look... maybe I might like it, though the anime since DP001 has been very boring... I miss the droll old days
Dento will be the first gym Leader... looks like he trains Grass-types, assuming that he really has the grass monkey Pokemon.
... and his Pokémon used "Solarbeam"
Must have missed that xD
I'm feeling glad that I'm using Tsutaja, then... if I chose Pokabu the first gym wouldn't be much of a challenge (of course, if I train Mammepato, that also won't be a problem).
CAN'T WAIT! xD

Haha, I don't know, that's just the first word that popped up in my mind when I saw him. x) It's probably because of his eye iris being larger to match most other people in the anime... I don't like it that much even if it's not a major change, so I know I'll get used to it. But yeah, I really hate his clothes.

I looked in to the whole Tsutaja/Tsutarja thing. Serebii is the ONLY site in the Pokémon network I look at that has it spelled Tsutaja. PLDH, Bulbapedia, Pokepedia, The Pokemon Wiki (on Wikia), and there's even a twitter account for Tsutarja.
Now, I wont be able to call Tsutarja/Pokabu/Mijumaru by their English names (when announced)
Ash gets completely new clothes, he gets brown eyes - some would say that he's starting to go through puberty now....
I don't like the clothes, but hey i didn't like advanced or DP clothes either. He should of put his old clothes on. I think
what really bugs me is his yellow zip on his jacket. It's just so out of place.
In the new trailer for Best Wishes it's got screenshots and one of them is hat back to front and doing the whole first season
thing again.I think they're trying to recreate pokemon kanto/johto for the fans.
In all the anime they've tried to keep it close to the games. Lets have a recap, shall we?
*Kanto/Johto - Misty and Brock, two Kanto gym leaders, follow Ash around.
*Hoenn - May, the female protagonist, follows Ash around.
*Sinnoh - Dawn, the female protagonist, follows ash around.
In the entire anime, they've never changed Ash to look like the games.
UNTIL NOW.

I mean, even an idiot could see the similarities.
*Shoes and trousers exactly the same.
*Jacket same except for colour change and short sleeves on Ash.
*Hair Style
*Ash's now brown eyes
*Cap - fusion between B&W protagonist and his original cap.
They're still not very similar.
And WAH WAH WAH
Big deal. ::)
Just pointing out the facts - Ash is based on the male protagonist this time.
Quote from: metroid/bkfan on August 27, 2010, 05:18:28 AMJust pointing out the facts - Ash is based on the male protagonist this time.
Just like he was based off of Red from the Games!
Since they [The Pokémon Company] are starting off on a new foot (new far away region, Route 1, etc...) they are going to revamp everything. I am guessing their main goal is to bring back an older audience, the people who fell in love with the Kanto/Johto anime way back when (even that whole Orange League thing)
What is also striking, there are reversible colors... wherever there's white on ash, there's blue on the protagonist. I'm gonna watch the series opener for BW001 on September 23 (when I'm out of class) and see how that is working out
I'm going to watch it too. And when they said fast-paced I hope it'll be like Kanto with only 84 episodes or something like that.
Instead of the 191/192 Episodes of DP (which is surprisingly the shortest... since they included Kanto/Orange League/Johto together and put the Battle Frontier in AG)
Fast paced things keep people interested, because some side things are just pointless and doesn't really add to the story for most of the time... maybe there wont be any contests (since May and Dawn did those).
There'll be the musical thing and I hope they don't emphasize to much on that like they did with Dawn.
There is simply no point to in the anime having a "choice" between contests or battles. No matter how much Game Freak likes the Super Contests, fans hate them and even if you DID get a choice (you really don't) then no one would pick it.
they emphasized it WAYY too much! We shall soon find out :)
"Pokemon Musicals" ...That actually sounds cool. xD
I thought that Total Drama the Musical sounded really stupid but the musical part is hilarious. Of course, the season has a different name now...
I still like Tsutarja (I put the r in just for you, DrP!)
Well, we have to soon find out.
*THIS HAS NO RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING*
I just started watching Arrested Development. It is pretty funny... haha
Anyways, I have a feeling that the Pokémon that Ash catches is that bird that he ALWAYS catches when in a new region (its name is escaping my head)
You mean the pigeon Mamepato? Yep, probably. And I have a feeling that he's going to get Mijumaru as his first starter.
I don't think he will, I think he'll get Tsutarja... or probably all three, like the ORIGINAL series, and they're starting over, so...
@DrP - a clip was shown with him fighting a Mamepato with Pikachu.
I do have a feeling itll be like the original, since its a "redo" with some new stuff added. he'll get all three starters, and only one will evolve fully... well possibly
Actually, Dento trains Grass-types. He could train Tsutarja. Then the girl could get Mijumaru or Pokabu, and Ash could get the third.
This means that ash has now TWO male counterparts in the games.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on August 27, 2010, 02:51:49 PMActually, Dento trains Grass-types. He could train Tsutarja. Then the girl could get Mijumaru or Pokabu, and Ash could get the third.
But, you see, this isnt a Hoenn based series (I mean, it could) but I'm just stating since theyre starting from the beginning... with what theyre doing, I say just get a new character all together... but there must be Ash and Pikachu (no matter how bad his voice actor is)
I didn't say it was a Hoenn based series. Even though that's what happened in Hoenn, don't be so narrow-minded! It's possible! Jesus!
that's what I meant about "Hoenn based". And I wasn't narrow-minded, I said "I mean, it could" referring to the Hoenn based and referring that each person gets a separate starter. I have a feeling it may be water, because his last water starter was Totodile, or they might follow how Ash received Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle
I know, I was just jokin'! xD Sorry!
Actually, I think either Ash will get three starters or he'll get two and either Dento or Iris will get the other one. Triple Battles: We haven't seen them in games, but plenty have been shown in the anime like when Jessie sends out Arbok and Wobbufet while James sends out Victreebell. Then, Ash sends out two of his Pokemon then the http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Character_of_the_Day (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Character_of_the_Day) fights with their Pokemon.
Seems like we know what starter Ash'll get first. Seems like I was right too, I knew he'd get that one :P (not spoiling for people not wanting to know yet.)
The game's going to be released in about 2 weeks! I can't wait! I feel like ordering them from Japan, but then I wouldn't understand a thing about the story... and I've a feeling that it'll be more than "capturing legendary 'mons to change the planet", so I guess I'll just wait. I hope they'll give figurines with the game too, I missed the HG/SS ones because my friend didn't go to the right store. u_u I'd love to have a Reshiram figurine! :D
I saw some new commercials released for BW... there's some mysterious Coronation ceremony that is involved in the story arc... strange, huh?
I love Coronation ceremonies!!! So elegant and regal! Maybe that's why there's that difference of Black and White
Now I just want to listen to the coronation music written by Mozart and I think Handel wrote some stuff, too
A short time ago, a user posted on the Japanese forum 2ch various images of what are allegedly the evolutions of the starter Pokémon; Tsutarja, Pokabu & Mijumaru. This post was placed upon 2ch's Siberia board where leaks have come in the past. For example, the starters names, Professor Araragi, Team Plasma and both Triple & Rotation Battles were posted there back in April, way before they were included in CoroCoro. As 2ch publically logs the IP, I was able to trace the IP of the posters of both rumours to the same area of Japan running on the same ISP, which in itself isn't significant but does add credence to this. These images are NOT CONFIRMED AT ALL so don't take them as fact yet. However, due to the circumstances stated above, I am going to post them. Just remember that these are not confirmed and may very well turn out to be fake.
Just read that on Serebii. I checked those images, and I think it may be their real evolutions. Remember when a sketch of anime characters/Pokemon was leaked? There were 2 Pokemon that looked like Tsutarja and Mijumaru's evolutions on it. Well, those 2 also are on the images that were leaked on 2ch, and they are the same. Imho Mijumaru's final evolution's awesome, Tsutarja's okay and Pokabu's meh. Of course it may be a fake, but since a lot of information was leaked on that website it's likely to be real. I won't post the images here 'cause I don't want to spoil; you guys can find them on Serebii.
I really love Mijumaru's final evolution... if its true. That final evo of Pokabu just REALLY turned me away, but I'll probably just get Tsutarja or Mijumaru now.
Same here... I love Pokabu, but its evos are so ugly, I may not choose it after all. =/ I'll probably go with Mijumaru.
Tsutarja's final is the only one that kinda bugs me. (assuming they're real, of course)
Pokabu's I don't mind so much, but the clear winner is Mijumaru's.
I am severely disappoint with Pokabu's evolutions.
I happen to believe they are real, because Mijumaru and Tsutarjs's second evolution was on the beta art earlier (with the bat Pokemon on it) that was later confirmed to be real.
Tsutarja's final evolution is REALLY COOL. But it's still REALLY WEIRD.
Pokabu's evolutions are the stupidest Pokemon I've ever seen, and that includes all of the crappy Pokemon Hoenn and Sinnoh came out with.
Mijumaru has the coolest of all. Mijumaru is definitely my second choice now if it wasn't before.
The only thing that would lead me to believe it isn't real is that Tsutarja's final evolution looks less of a grass than it does of a water.
Still, I'm way happier with Tsutarja's than I am with Pokabu's machine pig. That really annoys me. They come out with one cute starter and it turns into something that isn't even cool. xP
Yep, the sketch also makes me believe that those are real. And Pokabu's final evo's not that bad, but the second one really looks retarded. I may still go for Pokabu, but since I'm going to buy both Black and White it doesn't really matter in the end. :P
Also, Pokabu's evolutions remind me of Hercules for some reason. Probably because of the yellow things.
I need to convince my brother to go for something other than his usual water type. I've gotten him to do fire before, hoping he'll go for grass. I want my otter. :(
I can't stand having the same team as him, it defeats the purpose of having opposite versions!

Yeah that's right, it kinda sucks having the exact same 'mons as people you know. Guess that's why I'll go with Pokabu. :P
Evidently the original poster of the images has 'admitted' they were faked.
THANK GOD
I do think that the second stages of Tsutarja and Mijumaru are real, but I have trouble believing that any of the final mons are.
And I HATE when my brother trains the same thing as me! It totally defeats the purpose!
I agree with Slow here, we know that at least Mijumaru and Tsutarja's second evos are real... maybe there's still a chance of those being the real final evolutions. I guess we'll see in 2 weeks or before that if they are leaked/revealed before the games release (which is likely to happen imho).
It probably will...It's not like the games are getting shipped on September 18. They'll be at the location a few days earlier, and I'll bet anything that some people are gonna make off with a grocery store copy a day or two early.
Yeah, it usually happens. I think CoroCoro articles will be leaked again so maybe we'll see them in there.
I doubt that ALL of them will be in corocoro...will they?
Well, if they arent leaked, we'll find out in 18 days!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!1!!11!1!!11!
You let go of the Shift button a few times, huh? :)
Actually, I had to put em in on purpose... its a joke, ya know!!!
I figured, you don't seem to be the type of person to do that accidentally!
I was like, "What's up with those glasses he got???"
It actually magnifies the screen a bit... and I kinda have a headache... damn
School was fairly bad today with my early cold symptoms, but I'm praying it will go away overnight. :P

Nope, you're both wrong. It's 17.
HEY! Monday is still not up! and I count the day since it isnt over, so 18!
Well Bulbapedia says 15 days. I never really know what day we are, so I was just following that. x)
Yep... that's the real one. The timer on my dashboard says 16 days and 3 hours... which is adjusted for Pacific Time, whereas the Bulbapedia one is for JDT

The TV Tokyo site has revealed that the episode of Pokémon Sunday set to air on September 12th is to feature Junichi Masuda and a massive Pokémon Black & White special said to reveal lots of information. This episode airs prior to the release of CoroCoro so it may share information with that. We'll bring more as it comes and we may get a taster of it in the preview that airs after the episode this week.
Haha, I'm sooooooo going to watch it :D I can give you the link to download KeyTV if you guys want to watch it too.
YESYESYES!
Except it'll be like 2 AM here and if my mom woke up, she would go through the roof (only 10 more days!)

It airs at 6h30 pm here, so it should be around 3h30 pm, no? In any case it shouldn't be 2 am.

It's in French, so you should be fine. For those who don't speak French: You need to click on the Télécharger KeyHoleTV link.
I was able to download it. It may air a bit later for me, then. Midnight, which shouldn't be a huge problem.
How do you get TV Tokyo using the Program? Or does it show Pokémon?
When you start KeyHole TV, you see a list of channels, right? You need to browse through that list until you find TV Tokyo. When you find it you click on "WATCH" and that's it.
New Team Rocket clothes... I can see why they put a bunch of White on Ash. I always liked Butch and Cassidy's clothes and TPC has mingled the two!

Well, the new anime (DP190) explains a lot about Brock's absence.
It looks like he is going to become a Pokémon Doctor... oh, and Happiny evolved
Oh, and I blacked out everything on purpose
Can't wait for Pokémon Sunday!
I watched it too, and I guess it does make sense. And I wonder what will Pokemon Sunday show us tomorrow. They're supposed to talk about the Musical... can't wait to September 12th where they'll have a whole bunch of new stuff! :D
I just can't believe its already lunchtime Saturday in Japan... wow.
Lv 80 Dragonite for a Lv 4 Pidgey... who's the loser here?
I hate that so much.
Pokemon Transfer will be the best! :D
And why did you black that out? I don't care about anime spoilers.
So......the evolutions are real again?
It would seem so.
I'm warming up to them (except Pokabu's).
Actually, Pokabu's so adorable that I could train it the whole game with an Everstone.
Still don't like Tsutaja's.
Tsutaja's is my close second favorite.
Mijumaru's is still the clear winner.
Well, we will find out 100% in 5 hours, when Pokémon Sunday Airs
Scratch my earlier post, I like Tsutaja's evolution the best. Grass-types will always be my favorite starters.
I still dont believe it. They weren't official Ken Sugimori drawings, shown on Pokemon Sunday or shown in CoroCoro... they are just pictures.
I'll believe it when I can get a nice HQ picture of them... then it's true
And I would do the same with Pokabu... just not evolving it. And I probably would want to evolve Mijumaru right away!
I don't know, Mijumaru's pretty cute as it is! (Everyone rolls their eyes in disagreement)
The only one I'd want to evolve right away is Tsutaja, because it's really not ALL that cute.
I mean, I would still evolve all of them (except Pokabu) at the level they were supposed to evolve, but still.
I hope your not talking about

I must say, I like these fake ones better than the "real" ones (except Mijumaru's).
Is that bad?
The only thing is, those also look more like Sugimori drawings than the other ones. :P Does anyone agree?
They do... the other ones are just strange how there are pictures.
On second glance, the others also look like Sugimori's handiwork...

Not sure. Now they're showing footage of the TGC/VGC 10. They're also supposed to give us details about musicals. Dunno if they're going to show anything else.
Pokemon Musicals look really cool. (Kinda)
I was skeptical of the Pokeathlon, but they turned out as a cool and somewhat fun time-passer and a great alternative for Super Contests...
Plus they don't require you to change your Pokemon's moves.
It was something outside of Pokémon moves... I hope the musical thingy is like the Pokéathlon in terms of that!
FORGOT
GUYS
I went to GameStop today!
They have a Black and White U.S. release date in the "up-and-coming" whatever.
RELEASE DATE IS: APRIL 1, 2011.
Now we know.
It's probably just an approximative date. It may be released before or after that. The release date should be announced shortly after the release of BW in Japan... at least I hope so.
Either way, that's an all right release date...
after all, Diamond and Pearl were released on April 22. :P

But i think we all know that's an april fools day joke too
Pokemon Platinum and Pokemon HG/SS were released respectively on March 22th and March 14th, so that would be even better! :D
And yeah, that was my first reaction when I saw April 1st too.
And HeartGold and SoulSilver were released in March... and It is set for release in Q1 2011, which means January 1st-March 31st... so, it is wrong, but YAY, earlier release date. We should definitely know by the end of September

March 14th is my birthday!
As a surprise, my mom pre-ordered and paid for it! (I have the Lugia figure, hooray! :D)
No, it also gave the release dates for Professor Layton 3 (September 12, 2010) and Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs (October 4, 2010).
Pretty exact, but it's more than possible that black and white will be released ahead/after time.
I think I'm going to buy Guardian Signs as I have never tried any of the Ranger games. And maybe they'll tell the US release date during their September press conference.
Probably.
Or Nintendo of America will announce it beforehand
I might, too...
Also March 14th is National "Pi" Day! haha
I hope i have money for White version so bad..
Quote from: drpamplemousse on September 04, 2010, 04:37:34 PMI might, too...

It's also Albert Einstein's birthday (I skipped a grade), along with Billy Crystal, Truett Cathy (founder of Chick-fil-a) and a fair few others.
BTW check your email again xD
Quote from: winterkid09 on September 04, 2010, 04:39:49 PMI hope i have money for White version so bad..
And I hope I'll have enough money for both Black and White :D The only reason I'm getting both is that there are significant differences between both games.
I'm only getting Black first.
There aren't that many differences. Besides White Forest/Black City. But I don't really care about that.
Same...
Get on your email slow!
I either need to buy both or force a friend to buy White 'cause I'm definitely buying Black! And I'm planning on learning how to RNG with BW so it could be good to have both.
SIGH
What's that sigh for?
I don't really know. :(
But that's okay.
Blaziken is the Pokemon of the Week this time. :P
Yeah. He's kinda cool. And it seems that those starters' evos may be real after all. I hope they show it next week during Pokemon Sunday or in some leaks!
lol
It's "They're real!" "No they're not!" "They're real again now!" "Oops, it's confirmed that they're fake!" "Now they're real again!" "Aww, some guy admitted to creating them!" "Hooray, he was lying!" "Or was he?" "No, they're fake!" "Aww, man!" "What are upset about? Someone will post again in a sec saying that..." "THEY'RE REAL AGAIN, GUYS!!!"
::)
Haha I agree with you, that's really stupid. That's why I can't wait for the next PS to air 'cause then maybe they'll show them!
There are reasons why I don't believe things... haha
Hopefully the Junichi Masuda thing goes to plan!
I actually don't think they are real.... If any REAL Pokemon comes out, it's either gonna show up in an issue of CoroCoro, on Pokemon Sunday, or pokemon.com. And then from there, they'll end up on bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net (actually bulbanews), and before that they'll be on serebii. But before that, they'll be on filb.de, which is a German Pokemon website.... I got an account hoping I could use google translate to figure out what they were saying, but I haven't used it much. I think some admin sent me a message a while ago, but I have yet to translate it.... lol.
But seriously, if those Pokemon pictures were real, they would have ended up on one of those websites already. Well, they kind of did on bulbanews, except in an article about how easily rumors are created.... http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Looking_Forward:_As_the_Rumor_Mill_Turns (http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Looking_Forward:_As_the_Rumor_Mill_Turns)
Oh wait, they appear again!! http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/2ch,_others_leak_heap_of_Black_and_White_info (http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/2ch,_others_leak_heap_of_Black_and_White_info)
But I still doubt it.
Dude, we all know this already.
::)
@ Jub3r7 ~> Do you even now what 2ch is? There were a lot of Pokemon leaks there and they all happened to be real. Some stuff about triple battles were leaked back in April (IIRC, it was around that time though) and we didn't even now about BW yet. And those leaks did not only occurred for BW, but for Platinum (and DP too IIRC) as well. So yeah, they may be the true starters' evos.
Meh, we'll find out. I want to start out with Pokabu but then I saw the "evolutions".... Hopefully, I'll warm up to them if they're real.

But the third ones could always be faked....I really don't know anymore. :'(
Well, we'll find out in T-minus 13 days! (or before from CC or PS)... I really hope they are completely different. We just have to warm up to them, I suppose!
I am excited for Pokémon Musical a bit... since you can play music on there, through your Pokémon... I may just try it out just b/c!
Yep. To me the Pokémon Musicals look better than the other contests so I might try it too.
Pokethlon was superior.
I took about 30 minutes to edit my last post, when the last post was still mine. But three posts appeared while I was editing it, and I hope no one complains if I just quote it instead of letting it go unnoticed.

That's why I think that they're real. Tsutaja and Mijumaru's second evos were shown on a sketch representing anime character sizes and they were exactly the same. I guess we'll see, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were real.
The coloration between some of the evos are different, not to match the color scheme that USUALLY stays between the evolutionary line
Ugh, just learned I'm working next Saturday... I hope I won't miss a lot of the Pokemon Sunday show =/
We'll cue you in!
Indeed!
Well, actually, Dr Grapefruit will fill me in, then we'll fill you in. ;)

Haha yep, tu n'avais pas utilisé le futur. :P
And I meant it that way. It's really easy to learn English because there's no distinction between feminine and masculine nouns, verb tenses usually stays the same (i.e you only add will/going to for the future tense). French is a lot more complicated because of all the different verb tenses and because of masculine/feminine stuff and a buttload of other crap. That's why I said that. And I've never seen anyone learning French using feminine/masculine stuff correctly. x) So yep, I think I'm lucky for that.

Japanese video game publication Famitsu has published their review of the new games; Pokémon Black & Pokémon White, which are due for release next saturday in Japan. This review gave the games a perfect score of 40/40, based on four reviewers giving it 10 each with the reviewers praising the approach to making things fresh. This makes Black & White the first Pokémon games to reach this perfect score and to compare with the previous generation, Diamond & Pearl got 35/40, Platinum got 36/40 and HeartGold/SoulSilver got 37/40. Our coverage of these highly anticipated games will begin next week.
Saw that on Serebii. I think we can except BW to be awesome. :D
It'll be awesome whether it's awesome or not, am I right?
True for us die-hard fans. ;D
Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 08, 2010, 01:57:16 PMIt'll be awesome whether it's awesome or not, am I right?
Not necessarily. I'm a Pokemon die-hard fan and hated RSE. Plus Famitsu rarely gives perfect marks so I'm expecting a good game.
Quote from: Roz~ on September 08, 2010, 03:54:26 PMNot necessarily. I'm a Pokemon die-hard fan and hated RSE. Plus Famitsu rarely gives perfect marks so I'm expecting a good game.
If they give it a perfect score, it has to be good... they gave a perfect score to LoZ: OoT
Well, we shall soon find out... and I'll let you guys know in a week of what I see (as I correct all the issues in the English translation... and making sure that it is in proper English)
Horrible example because I'm not a Zelda fan and only made it through half of Ocarina of Time... But okay!
You shall be banned for speaking ill against the Ocarina of Time... such insolence!!
Well, Roz said that HGSS got a 37/40 and it has been the best Pokémon game made to date. The main reason why it got a 40/40 was the fact that it can connect with a computer program/internet into the "Dream World" where things can happen!
ALSO
Did you all know that you can get different songs for your Pokemon to dance to in the musicals? You can also download more off of Nintendo Wi-Fi!
I hope they let you sync music from an SD card.... GUSTY GARDEN GUSTY GARDEN GUSTY GARDEN

Haha yep! They gave it 40/40 because apparently Nintendo's really trying something new and they're trying to make things fresh... and OoT was soooo awesome, I seriously can't wait to see 'em!
You should all know that Famitsu's 40/40 are now complete bullshit. 9 of their 15 total given out have been given over the last 2 years. And only to big Japanese developers. Most of the games don't nearly deserve the ratings given by them. Even ones with 38-39. They gave fucking Bayonetta a 40. And Brawl. And MGS4.
GTA4 and CODMW2 got 39. Famitsu is just bad.
Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on September 08, 2010, 04:37:57 PMGTA4 and CODMW2 got 39.
Wow. :P
That doesn't mean that Black and White will be bad... but reviews don't mean anything to me anyway. I'll get Black and White if it gets 2/40. And true fans will do the same, even if they say that Pokemon sucks.
They'll be playing the games. And obsessing over how to beat the next Gym Leader. And losing to the Champion. And trying over and over again. And finally succeeding.
Happens every time a new Pokemon game comes out.
Well, I'll take a look at other reviews before I purchase the game... well, I get it for free now anyways... so maybe i'll give it a shot when I try it out on Wednesday!
Not that it means the game is bad obviously, it's just not near as good as they say it is.
They didn't say it was good, they said they liked the fact that Nintendo tried to include new fresh stuff in the game. That alone is a good reason to buy B/W. At least to me it is.
By die-hard fan, I meant the people that would love the Pokemon franchise no matter where they went with that.... including Hoenn. Although I've never been there.... Although I have seen my brothers going into each other's secret bases hidden randomly throughout the region, in the middle of the desert or something. I thought that was pretty cool.
I liked the secret base thing... and the Villa in Platinum... and this dream world has something, too!
And by when you "Haven't been there" in reference to Hoenn is that you haven't played R/S/E or haven't been to Kyushu
I just can't wait until Sunday... and tomorrow is the last of the D/P anime series, so I may look at it on youtube... and finally Dawn peut dire «Au Revoir, Sacha!»
I also cannot wait for Sunday, but not for Pokemon reasons. :)
I haven't played R/S/E.... wait a minute, I played a little bit of ruby, but barely.... If I ever get Emerald, THAT'S when my adventures in Hoenn will start.
I can't wait for Sunday, either! there is so much stuff going on that day!!!
BW001 makes an appearance in one week!!! Dawn, Brock and Ash finally split for good!
I wish Misty'd be back. She was awesome.
I really liked it when she came back for some episodes in AG... or how May came back in some DP episodes!!
As much as I really want Misty back, Dawn will probably make an appearance in Isshu with something going on like the last two cases!
Unfortunately.
Hah! Only joking, Dawn fans.... Oh, and Iris/Dento. I have a feeling that Dento might do Pokemon musicals. (Although I might be completely wrong....)
If that happens, does that mean.... Iris will be like Brock? O_o Oh dear....
Oh yeah, and since Brock is leaving, will the Boulder Shippers go away? (The people that believe in boulder shipping).... XD
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BoulderShipping (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BoulderShipping)
....To me, that's just scary....
Well, that is just plain scary in my book... but ill let people think that!
Dento is going to replace Brock... to get all sides, I look at Serebii AND Bulbapedia (even though my primary stuff is from Bulbapedia)... Dento is a Pokémon Sommelier, or in English, a Wine Steward... this means he is in the restaurant business, therefore knows food and since Brock made the food and stuff, he will take his place... also, Dento didn't really want to be a Gym Leader (as did Brock)... so there are many similarities there.
In terms of Iris, we really don't know for the time being... she could be like Misty and be a defected Gym Leader, or she is just along for the ride just to "travel"... We shall see! ;D
If it makes them happy, then whatever I don't care if they "ship" that. ::)
I don't care what anyone else thinks about Pokemon things, actually. :P
It is interesting to hear what fans have to say, though.
I has a transcript referring to an interview with Ken Sugimori referring to the starters!!!
Ken Sugimori, primary illustrator: I really struggled the most with the Water-type [starter] this time.
Yusuke Ohmura, illustrator: There was talk of, "Wouldn't a sea otter be good for the Water starter?" But it was a really close decision in terms of what this sea otter would become once it evolves. In the end, we decided to have it evolve into something with a completely different appearance.
Sugimori: Of course, we want to make the starters into Pokémon that remain with the player throughout the game, so we hope to make them evolve into creatures that offer a surprise to the player. We always make an effort to throw in some twists and create third-stage evolutions that have an impact.
Ohmura: There was also talk this time about dividing the three starters into Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles of design. Tsutarja was based on Western design, and Pokabu was rooted in a Chinese style, so I was told, "Let's make Mijumaru into a more Japanese-style design." Someone even asked, "Can't you make Mijumaru into a samurai?" [laughs]
Everyone: [laughs]
Sugimori: I worried about it for a while, and I eventually went to go see the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to catch the sea lion show while I was there, and I became aware of the sea lion's power. "Well, let's try blending a sea otter and a sea lion," I thought. I came up with the idea of making the shell on Mijumaru's stomach into a sword (katana) and using it to fight, and that's how I completed Mijumaru and its evolution."
Mijumaru's evolution is going to have a sword/katana??? I do like how it blends three main ways of life (though Chinese and Japanese are quite similar)
Haha, sounds awesome! Can't wait for the game to finally be released! :D
I can't wait until I get that email tuesday!!!
If what Sugimori alluded to was pretty cool, a water Pokémon with a Sword would be awhsome!

New York?! there's too much grass and sand and stuff for Isshu to be NY (jokes)
The water starter with a sword? EPIC.
Seems like there is going to be a total of 156 Pokemon including 12 legendary ones. One of them would be a pure flying-type too. I guess we'll see when the BW Pokedex is released!
FINALLY! A pure flying type... long overdue for that one!
A flying type.... that isn't normal type.
Which means that it will be really weird. (Pun intended.)
Well, it IS a Legendary, that can be caught in the game.
The Ubers are a Dark/Dragon type and the "three legendaries" are Grass/Fighting, Steel/Fighting and Rock/Fighting
Lastly, the final Pokémon is a Bug/Steel type, clocking in at Ndex #649
Quote from: Jub3r7 on September 10, 2010, 11:55:57 AMA flying type.... that isn't normal type.
Which means that it will be really weird. (Pun intended.)
That's not really a pun, but okay.
I'll spoil the mons for myself right now, I can't resist. :P
Aww man, there are no pictures. :(
I would post the pictures if there were some!
Also, I do know a release date for something that might make you excited...
We can all find out the Gen V starters 9/18/2010!!!! hahaha
WOOHOO
But I already knew that, duh. ;)
I couldnt pop in a joke... of course we'll know before 9/18... there are going to be so many specials plus a CoroCoro release beforehand
Yep!
So, 156 Pokemon! This is exciting, it's the most we've EVER gotten in a generation, including #1! Hoenn gave us 130-something, though.
They didn't really have any other choice. There won't be any other gen 'mons in that game, so it's kinda like first gen. And there'd be less 'mons if only there wouldn't be that much legendaries one. I wonder if Koromori'll be as annoying as Zubat. :D
Maybe... we'll never know until we play it! Yep, this is the most we have EVER got... even the whole Kanto saga which held the record (yes, i am RTing what slow said)
Anyways, I'm excited... and what's also nice, there won't be a lot of adding to previous generations... but achieving 649 Pokémon will be a pretty tough feat... and I wonder if #666 will be based on a devil or something (or have it be ironic and be an angel or something)
UHOH! Roz is nearing 1000 posts!
Oh my God, it's bringing the total to 649???
You would think Sugimori could squeeze a last ounce of creativity out of his brain for an even 650, but no such luck, we have a random number again. :P
Random numbers are always the best!
New CoroCoro leaks! Some new 'mons were shown, along with the starters' evos. Seems like the images posted a while ago were right... at least for their first evos. Oh, and Pokabu's evolution's a fire/fighting type. Why can't we have another combination?
Quote from: drpamplemousse on September 10, 2010, 07:14:35 PMMaybe... we'll never know until we play it! Yep, this is the most we have EVER got... even the whole Kanto saga which held the record (yes, i am RTing what slow said)
Anyways, I'm excited... and what's also nice, there won't be a lot of adding to previous generations... but achieving 649 Pokémon will be a pretty tough feat... and I wonder if #666 will be based on a devil or something (or have it be ironic and be an angel or something)
UHOH! Roz is nearing 1000 posts!
Pokemon #666
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi221.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd113%2FxXx--DeAd--xXx%2Ffreindmons%2FAngemon.gif&hash=d6978331803e43706163868bf804425d6e2ca535)
That's a massive leak.
And I'm really mad that the Fire starter turns into a Fire-Fighting type AGAIN, on the second stage.
I'm pretty ticked, actually. Makes me like it even less, but there you are.
Those other Pokemon are interesting enough, eh?
I call the dark type cat!
And the Fire/Fighting is outrageous. That's why I only like the Gen I and II Fire starters... and then I switch to Gen III and Gen IV for water. I may stick with water here, Mijumaru has grown on me... well, kinda.
EDIT: Those trios of monkeys look kinda cool. Shikijika's evolution looks AWESOME! Yorterri looks like a Baby Growlithe. Choroneko is pretty awesome!! I WANT! Tamagetake and Churine look cool... Churine looks like it could be part of a Trunip/Radish evolutionary line.
Also, the first Gym has THREE leaders, and you face the one depending on what starter you chose!
Also, my idea of the "Special" Remake will be Pokémon Gray (I know it is too far to think of this now)!

I call the dark type cat as well. So you'll have to live with that. :D
My team will consist of something like this, assuming the locations are convenient:
Tsutaja
Dark-type Cat
Ground/Dark-type Crocodile
Chillarmy
I really want the Ghost-type Coffin Pokemon!
And I like some others like the Electric Zebra, the Grass Cloud, the Black-exclusive Psychic Goth Girl, the Bug/Electric Spider, the Water Piranha, the Grass/Poison PokeBall Mushroom...
I'm extremely happy with this region's Pokemon, and creativity is not absent. :) :) :)
Can't wait for the games!
I wanna keep my team a secret... i think we should do a start at the same time. I will probably go with Mijumaru... oh and I changed the poll on General Pokémon because of the new evos!
I think I might choose Mijumaru too. As for the rest of my team, I still haven't chosen any 'mons. I have plenty of time for that anyway. :P
I might go with Tsutarja, or Pokabu. We shall see!!
I'll probably end up picking a final team once the Pokédex Entries are in Bulbapedia!
Oh for fucks sake, I saw the evolved forms and new pokemon. This game is hopeless. Full of shit. They ruined what Smugleaf could have been, the firepig is just bad, and the wotter is just what from the beginning. Ugh.
Tsutaja's a snake, what did you expect? Pokabu's not great but it's not bad either. Mijumaru's evo's supposed to be awesome so we'll see. The game is hopeless and full of shit because you don't like the starter evos. Makes perfect sense.
I personally love the starters other than Pokabu. :P
And I personally hate Pokemon flamers. KF just said last week if you like Pokemon at a certain age, there's something wrong with you, and now he's complaining about how the starters' evolutions suck.
Well, we shall see what happens, then!!!
Oh, and I have moved in to my room... WOOO!!!!

You don't know how to read.
And we don't need a fucking grass milotic.
Breaking news!!!! The first gym has three gym leaders, in case you haven't heard already.
If you choose Pokabu, you have to fight the gym leader with the water monkey.
If you choose Mijumaru, you have to fight Dento, with Yanappu, the grass monkey.
If you choose Tsutarja, you have to fight the gym leader with the fire monkey.
That's not breaking news. And it was expected ever since they announced triple battles.
He's right, BigSig. :P
I can't wait for the games.
Theyll be here on Friday for us!!!
YAY for Gym Leaders
Dent, Pod, and Corn Tri Badge Grass, Fire, Water Sanyou City Makes all Pokemon up to Level 20 obey its Trainer.

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml
Watch out as this is massive spoiler: Every new 'mons sprites! I think the gen's kinda cool. I don't like the Raijus legendary much though.
Yeah, the reason I said "in case you haven't heard already" was because I realized that it probably wasn't breaking news....
Apparently I didn't make that clear enough... sorry. :(
Anyways, IRIS IS THE EIGHTH GYM LEADER?!??!?!
I really like the trio of legendaries!
Also, I am sticking with Mijumaru as my beginning... Pokabu is a second, as I have come to accept the evolutions and such! woo!
Loving the Scottish Terrier, Ghost Chandelier, and Polar Bear.
And am I mistaken or are Yabakuron and Dasutodasu bags of garbage?
It would appear so.
And it's about time they made a Fire/Ghost! Will-o-the-Wisps, anyone?
I absolutely love them, kind of. xD Some are amazing, others are meh.
And no new evolutions? :( I thought there might be at least one... Pachirisu was the flying squirrel's pre-evo, certainly. Guess not.
I can't believe it. I actually like this gen as a whole. A hell of a lot better than IV. These ones, as badly designed as they are, actually look like they're gonna be fun.

Nope, I think you're right. I also thought that when I first saw them. Kinda like the Grimer/Muk of this gen.

Haha, I agree. I can't wait to try Shanderaa, Zeburaika and Sazando... and I want to try a lot more of them :D
Washiban is a cutie! haha.
There are so many choices to choose from this time around... I can't decide who to pick... I definitely need multiple teams for this one! The evolutions of Gochirezeru look pretty cool, and that dog that looks like a pre-evolution to Growlithe can be pretty sick!
Kobaruon and Birijion look awesome... the pure flying type, however, looks kinda creepy just a bit.
Sazando looks like its going to be the "uber" of this generation
I can't decide which 'mons to use... I think I'll buy both Black and White so I can pick more, haha. :P
Hahahahahahaha, the genie palette swap trio is so bad. So are all the starters. Luckily there are actually some pretty good ones this generation.
My favorites: badass croc, chandelier, hydra, motherfucking anteater, sarcophagus, epic turtle, genocide bug is pretty hilariously cool too. I also like how they have "Wargle" the american bald eagle. HMM WHAT ARE THEY SAYING THERE.
gigigear is hilariously bad, and there are a few WTFs like dasutodasu, but overall it's pretty decent. Also I like how they didn't have worm > cocoon > flying thing again and actually got decently creative with the bug pokemon.
This is turning out to be one of the better of the Generations (the Pros outweigh the Cons... IMO)
Could someone post the pictures on the site plz?

KF wins this topic.
I pretty much agree with all of that, except I don't think the water starter is as awful as Pokabu, I think it's pretty cool, and the grass is just like, whatever. Meh.
I was really ticked that the Grass and Water didn't get an extra type, and Fire is also Fighting AGAIN.
The coffin/sarcophagus doesn't look like something from Pokemon, but it is completely epic, no? Also, a Water-Ghost and Fire-Ghost... that's pretty cool!
Kibago becomes meh as it evolves.
The turtle? COMPLETE epicness. I also like the 3-stage frog. Gear was something I was hoping would not evolve, so it wouldn't become awful. Unfortunately, it's awful. "Gear", "Gigear", and "Gigigear"? Really?
Chillarmy becomes even cuter with evolution, hooray! Probably the Buneary of this gen.
Grass-Steel is only good for offense... Fire-types would PUMMEL it.
Also, Wargle. LOL
I'm really happy with this gen, they made it far better than gen IV.
BRING ON BLACK AND WHITE
^Haha yep! Probably one of the best gen along the first and the second one.
Here are my impressions on 5th gen:
-I don't think the starters are that worse as I do like Enbuoo and Daikenki. I don't really like Jalord though.
-The turtle is amazing, I'm definitely getting it in one of my teams.
-I'm kind of disappointed in Kenhorou. The male version may be more flamboyant, but it still is meh.
-I also like Zeburaika and Erufuun, probably going to get them too.
-Warubiaru, Mebukijika, Shanderaa and Sazando are so full of win, I need those too.
-Wargle is probably going to be my flying-type as the others are kind of lame, though I like what they did with Barujiina. A Dark/Flying type's pretty cool.
-The trio that is like Entei/Raikou/Suicune is okay and have interesting typings.
-The Raijin's trio is just awful. It's sad that the only pure flying-type is one of them.
-I love Kyuremu. Also, Pokemon Grey's mascot and an alternate form anyone?
So many of these Pokemon are broken (like Warubiaru and Randorosu), it's going to be fun to see them in competitive battling. I can't wait for those games... if I had money to spend right now I think I'd get the Japanese version. xp
I've been looking over serebii and it's just getting more and more amazing as time goes on! I'm kind of glad that they made Rock Smash a TM, FINALLY! I'm going to search for some ROMs since some of them are being posted.
^Think you could give me a link if you find any? I'd love to try 'em out!
I've been searching. It'll take a few days to actually get a good one... usually the first few are pretty shitty. Also, I think the US release date will be here by the end of the the month!
I love the vultures.
And Dive's an HM again, along with Waterfall, so I'm mad. I hate too many water HMs. :(
You have to keep in mind the new water mechanic, that lets you skip over water.
So there's gonna be surf, waterfall, and dive.
I hope the new mechanic thingy isn't another HM....
If it is, all water types will become HM slaves. >_<
Good planning on Nintendo's part--you can't trade until you've beaten the first gym.

^Isn't that neat?
These pokemon are vastly different than the ones I remember growing up with. However, saying that they're not awesome designs would be an outright lie. Granted there are some serious WTF pokemon in there, but the majority of pokes are ones I'd be more than happy to have in my team. There's just a ton of variety this generation. Also, grass starter for me. I don't care what anyone says, its evolution looks regally amazing and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Yay Tsutarja!!! (YOu know Serebii updated it on the New Pokemon Page!!!)
I will probably do all three starters in due time (or do the Gen V GTS thing and get one!)
Im still trying to find good roms... it should be a couple more days until I get the good one with all the gameplay... because the Pokémon Black Rom I have for my job is limited to Huin City and I have a Lv 50 Tsutarja, Pokabu and Mijumaru in my team... I can also go on the Sky Arrow bridge, too to battle trainers out of Huin City!
Happy Black-and-White-Officially-Comes-Out-in-Japan Day!
6 more months....
~sigh
That sucks horribly, when you think about it. :(
I have a question, because I don't really remember--how early did we find out the English names of the Sinnoh Pokemon?
Hm, shame I don't have a better DS or flash cart. I would probably download the JPN version just to see how much I could read and maybe have it help me read :3 Probably won't get a lite cause of the 3DS release being potentially soon. If it's region free I might import it from Japan (unless there isn't much of a release gap, That's how I got my GBA 8D)
Hmm well the game is DSi locked but people don't seem to know whether the game won't work or if it's only the DSi features that won't work. And yeah, at this point buying a 3DS would be better.
Well, the ROMs for BW are out... now we just need a BIOS to go along with it so we dont have issues starting it up since it would be a dead ROM (which is what it says if you do start it up)
I'm thinking of changing my avatar again, this time to Tsutarja. :D
It doesn't really scream "SlowPokemon", but I like it. :3
Or is Bowser Jr. a better pick for now?
I have my first gen v pokemon... tsutarja!
ill let you know what I catch first
lol have fun with your grass milotic
Though all the starters suck so eh. I'll get rid of mine asap probably.

That's why... Im saving the better of the starters for the English games!!!!
Also, to Slow, you'll love Belle's theme
What's also cool, when your pokemon is reduced to red in HP, the battle music changes (and I like both songs)... and the opening credits are amazing... I cant stop marveling at this game!!!! ahh... Gotta get back to fixing bugs in the American version of BW!
Serebii and Pokebeach got take down notices, and have to remove all black and white images and graphics by Sunday or something; otherwise the sites will be taken down. I hope bulbagarden isn't next.
hmm... that seems strange. I guess Nintendo doesn't want the rest of the world waiting for Black and White to spoil the game so they don't buy it (or something along those lines)
Serebii has taken down their Pokemon pics, but they can still be seen here (http://pldh.net/guides/blackwhite/official_isshu_listing).
Hey SR! :) It's been a while!
Haha yep, long time no see! And it sucks that Nintendo doesn't want websites to post pictures of BW... hopefully they can't stop every single websites from posting them! And did you guys see the new ability Ditto can have in the Dream world? Maybe Ditto'll become useful!
That's kinda disappointing that the pics had to come down. Oh well, we'll be able to see all the pokemon we want once we get our copies. Definitely fill us in on all the cool stuff drpamplemousse! And thanks for picking the best starter. If ditto becomes a perfect copy of the opponent with that ability, it probably would give him some usefulness. Ditto can be a fighter as well as a lover now! I never thought I'd see him used outside of the day care center.
Dream World abilities look super cool!
Marill and Azumarill's is one of the clear winners.
Yep! And it's official! My first Isshu Pokémon I've caught is a Lv 4 Yorterrie! There are also Minezumi on Route 1... you battle N with his Choroneko in the next city up after Araragi gives you a tour of the Pokémon Center.
What is kinda funny, Bel's theme sounds like it is out of Mario Party or something!
The soundtrack is on youtube like everywhere, everyone gogogog.
N's Farewell <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
SHHHHHHH!!!! I don't wanna know until I reach it yet!!!
Also, I have complied a EMU+ROM set for Black or White... if anyone wants it, I can put it on Mediafire. It will only work with the EMU I provide since I had to tweak the game a bit to play on the EMU...
N is a hilarious character. He's the one guy against animal cruelty in the world and you fight against him. So good.
PEDA is against animal cruelty. And some of them go around shooting dogs!!!
....Was I just able to compare a Pokemon character with PEDA? O_o
I just got an email from my superiors... -I know when the US release date is- -na naaa naaaa na naaa na-
I can't say because I am "releasing intellectual property" and I could be fired and prosecuted... you shall find out soon enough...
On another note, BW starts in SPRING!!!!! (my favorite season in many ways)
Also, you actually walk faster in the game (and running shoes are useful, but you get that after the first city from Mom)

.nds
there are just some things that make it only run on that DS because I had to patch some stuff (like EXP gain to work normally and im still trying to get saves to work)
The saving situation is actually kind of nice... you get to save whenever using the EMU instead of in-game

I just remembered something!!!!
Isn't there a function in the new game that allows you to upload your save files to the internet?
by using the DSi, yes!

Sweet, .nds is good. I can rip midi data from it. ^-^
I'll upload Black to mediafire, soon

What Application would you need to use to run black version on the comp, and is it in english?
the "application" is included in the ZIP file... and it is NOT in English
April 1st? Haha, April fools!!!
I would seriously attack Game Freak.
Ok, it ISNT April 1st...
There's a new way to get a Milotic now... you dont have to max out its beauty... you now have to give it a hold item and trade it... I believe the item is "Clean Scale"
Yep, read that too. It's a good thing imho... it really was a pain in the ass to max out its beauty >_<
That was so irritating!
But the most irritating thing about Milotic is not about Milotic at all... it's about finding a Feebas. Dx
Tsutarja's Coil move looks beast.
Double post, sorry.
You could've just edited your first post. :P
It's not too hard to find one... when you can trade that is.
And yep, Coil looks great. I feel like it's going to be used in competitive battling... it's going to be so annoying. ><
Are you getting this from 4chan or some other website? Bulbagarden and Serebii haven't said anything about it, yet....
No! We're getting this info FROM PLAYING THE GAME ITSELF!

Everything we've said so far I've seen on Serebii or Bulbapedia.
I am still trying to figure out how to get through the second gym... which is in fact in the "Pokémon Museum"... if you dont get it, you'll see it when you play it
How often are Kanji used?
Hmm, shiny forms are nice in general.
ERR!!! I wish this was in English so bad!!!! I am playing it, and it looks cool and all but my processor is so slow that the soundtrack even plays at about 20% of normal speed, and i can't understand a thing. Except I could type my own name in English. Drp how do you deal with the language issue?
You wait until English is released. Just like everyone else.
Or understand enough to play it like me 8D
Maybe if I get time I'll figure out the 2nd gym for you.
Meanie. There has to be some sort of Translator :/
http://tinyurl.com/2uh3agg
Oh come on you think I didn't google it? I've been searching for hours.
Post screenshots of that gym if you still can't figure it out and I'll see if I can understand enough to make out what it says.
Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on September 21, 2010, 03:20:04 PMHow often are Kanji used?
Fairly Often... If you have the option switched on!
And I don't need any help anymore, I was just too lazy and forgot to go to a section and click the "hot area" in the gym... DUH!

I know a bit of Japanese and I really don't notice. I just play just because... and to hear the music, see how everything works and such!
Anyways, Dive has returned as an HM and you can go 'sploring around Isshu!!
Current Black Team:
Lv 17 Janoby
Lv 16 Shimama
Lv16 Haderia
Lv 15 Choroneko
Lv 15 Munna
Lv 15 Hiyappu
NOTES: Munna doesn't get good moves until Lv 15 with Psybeam... it has this move (PsyWave, I believe) that inflicts damage based on level and HP... i forget. Also, Choroneko is a pure Dark Type and doesn't learn a single move until Lv 15, which is Pursuit... the good/bad thing is that it learns Assist at Lv 8 AND once it evolves at Lv 20, it learns the good stuff
Tsutarja evolves at Lv 17... crazy, huh?
Also, of the Fire/Water/Grass Monkey trio, you get it from this girl in the Abandoned Lot of Dreams (where you get Munna) and it is the type weak to your starter (so Hiyappu is the Water one)... you need Musharna if you want to get into the Dream World, and you evolve it from Munna using a Moon Stone!
Old news are old. :P
Starters actually evolve at a pretty early level compared to the rest of the 'mons.
And I'd love to play too... but last time I saved it didn't save. Don't want to redo everything I had done; at least not now.
Quote from: Roz~ on September 22, 2010, 01:50:43 PMOld news are old. :P
LOL
And yeah, all of the starters evolve at Lv17, then 36.
I've known that for quite a while.
Well, it's true. x) Currently trying to get where I was before my game did not save. Ugh.
OH MY GOD
LOOK AT THE LEVEL THE DARK-DRAGON EVOLVES AT
AND THERE ARE MORE WHO EVOLVE IN THE 50 LEVELS
:o
No needs to caps lock eh. And I think that's cool, maybe there'll be some challenge in the game.
Attempt number 2 at playing through Black version.... Grr
Well, my computer has top of the line "shit" in it, so it runs SUPER FAST!!!!!! BOOM!
But I made the comment about Lv 17 because starters have NEVER evolved at Lv 17 as a base... usually Lv 14, 16 or 18!
There's so much I want to tell you all... but I just can't infringe upon intellectual property
You're not supposed to publicly post those things....

If you don't want to see it, don't click the topic in the first place.
Who is that referenced to? ^^^^^
I do want to see it; I must have worded the post incorrectly... XD
:P Sorry....
I don't really like playing on my computer. Probably because the game's slow and I don't understand a thing x) I wanted to see how it was and I did; now I just need to buy both games when they come out here.
I find it odd that in black version, both of the male characters at the start dress using pink, though the one female does not.
It's just how they do it! They wanted to put in something new, so they did!
Ahh... La Belle Pont de la Ciel! Or for everyone else, The Beautiful Sky-Arrow Bridge... I love how you can see Hiun City in the distance... it's like im there!

Ugh, I want to continue my game... but I don't want to spoil it all... what to do, what to do. =/
It's all up to you... but lemme just say... Hiun City is HUGE! and the Gym is "hiding" a bit AND the Sky-Arrow bridge takes like 2 minutes to RUN across!
Roz: Whoops! I forgot it was LE pont! (Sur le pont d'avignon)
Meh, sucks that Wargle's exclusive to White and that Black's stuck with the vultures. Hopefully I'm getting both games.
Hah, me and my brother prefer the different version exclusives. Black for him, white for me.
But I still can't get him to not pick Mijumaru. ;~;
Haha, sucks. I need my friend to pick Tsutaaja since I'm going to pick Pokabu and Mijumaru. Hope it'll work. :P
Quote from: Roz~ on September 24, 2010, 01:59:20 PMHaha, sucks. I need my friend to pick Tsutaaja since I'm going to pick Pokabu and Mijumaru. Hope it'll work. :P
That's why I picked Tsutarja (and it is confirmed on BW 001, too... Professor Araragi is pretty awesome... but Pikachu loses to a Tsutarja... haha)
I will probably go with Mijumaru on White and Pokabu on Black!
Also, I have a feeling that Mijumaru is going to be Ash's first Isshu starter... youtube BW 001 and watch the episode and you'll see why... kinda like the May/Squirtle situation!
Haha, I've been thinking that for a long time. It was kinda obvious in all those BW previews. :P
Quote from: Roz~ on September 24, 2010, 01:48:04 PMMeh, sucks that Wargle's exclusive to White and that Black's stuck with the vultures. Hopefully I'm getting both games.
I'm super glad because the vultures pwn. Wargle and its relative are pretty stupid. Normal-Flying types for the lose. :P
I'm just glad my brother doesn't care too much for Tsutarja. He was completely set on picking Pokabu. And then he saw its evolutions. So now he's picking Mijumaru.
He'll probably pick Pokabu the next time around. :P
I really think that Tsutarja's evolutions are way cooler than Mijumaru's. (cue KefkaticFantatic Grass Milotic jab here).
One of the reasons I love Pokemon is that everything's controversial. Everyone has different tastes (like me and Roz with the version-exclusive birds), and they are more than willing to argue their points forever.
Anyone else enjoy a heated Pokemon debate? xD
Any pokemon with a mustache is pretty cool in my book.
Just started with the emu. Holy shit I can understand a lot more than I thought I would.
Also, there's a version of White on a private tracker that already has v2 of an English patch (battles, menus so far it looks like)
It's apparently patched to work on emulators and flash carts too. So I don't know why your version is all weird.
*sigh*
I haven't had time to follow this while I was away. However, yesterday I managed to scroll through Bulbapedia looking at the new Pokémon.
I have mixed feelings for them at the moment. Hopefully, I'll manage to adapt to them like I did to the third gen. Pokémon, and to a lesser extent the fourth gen, but I think it will be harder.
Black and White seem to be more independent of the other generations than the previous generations were. It added no evolutionary relatives, and rely a lot less on the older Pokémon. That makes me kind of sad, but to new players, it might be a lot easier to get into.
Design-wise, I think Pokémon stopped for me somewhere in the third generation, perhaps even before that. I was never any fond of the design of Wobbufet or Dunsparce, for instance, and two generations later, I hardly feel any connection to any of the newcomers. Now that the fifth generation arrives, I see less and less of the known and loved Pokémon of my childhood, and more and more half-clones and hybrids (See Mamanbou. I would have accepted it if it had any connection to Luvdisc whatsoever. But no, that one is supposed to be a totally new and fresh Pokémon).
However, as far as I have understood, they have toned down the new legendaries. They aren't any more spirits of the universe and fundamental powers of the very existence in their own, but more like extraordinarily rare and powerful Pokémon - like the legendaries of the first and to some extent second generation. That's good, at least.
I also welcome the new moves and playstyles that will emerge with the new Pokémon. We see some interesting type combinations coming up, new abilities and items to make the game even more complex. I sure will enjoy that.
Wobbuffet's tail makes me think it's somehow related to Unown.
Anyway, some of them are prime WTF material, but others are original. There aren't many "cute" ones this generation, though. :P
That's why I'm taking advantage of the few there are, like Chillarmy.
And what do you guys think of Tabunne's setup and location? It's really weird, and it learns some strange moves. Not really liking it.
It's a kind of chansey/blissey and should be used as such.
I personally like the fact that we can't use any of the previous gens 'mons. It's a kind of gen 1 and I like that.
This game really is all about rebooting the franchise. They want to have all new mons so it can be a totally unique experience for newcomers. So, as long as you can fully distance yourself from the designs of old, the new pokemon really aren't that bad. The problem is just accepting that the pokemon games that we grew up with have changed.

Tabunne is just kind of... there. i noticed it on route 2 or something. it does give lots of EXP points if you defeat it!
Also, Chillarmy is kind of useless a bit... especially in BW in the journey. You're going to have better luck with Yorterrie. But, if you're looking for cute, then by all means and raise it
Yorterri's mine!!!
Well... at least when (Probably Grey) comes out.
The brother of mine who is getting black will start out with Mijumaru.
The brother of mine who is getting white will start out with Tsutarja.
When I get Grey, I'm going to start out with Pokabu. My first fire type from any of the generations.
I'm getting Mijumaru on White and Pokabu on Black, which means I'll start my Pokemon journey with Tsutaaja on Grey.
The Wotter evolves into the least horribly ugly of the starters, so I'm just going to go with that. But probably replace it soon anyway. Oh, and fuck them for making another fire/fighting starter.
^Indeed. I was expecting an awesome Fire/Ground warthog with giant fangs and stuff. Imagine Bastiodon meets Charizard meets Primeape. Instead, we get a Magmortar/Rhyperior hybrid with a pig's head stuck on it. I'm massively disappointed. The wotter is at least original.
They're all growing on me a bit. Still love the final otter, but final pokabu is a good backup.
Yep, I agree with the Fire/Fighting thing.... that's why I only respect Typhlosion and Charizard as GREAT fire starters!!
I went with Tsutarja with this Jap game
I will go with Mijumaru on Black and Pokabu on White... Shimama and Gogizarisu (that psychic girl) on Black!

Blaziken as the first Fire-Fighting was also great, but as it is reused twice, I can't fully appreciate Infernape or Pokabu's evolution.
With Blaziken, it was all fine and dandy, cause it was "new". They should have changed it with Infernape and DEFINITELY with Pokabu's final evolution... they better change it for Gen VI!
It's also getting old that Fire starters get their second type on their second stage. :P
Pure Grass-type and Water-type starters were pretty different.
Raising Meganium in SoulSilver was a chore, as it's hard to battle with a Grass-type anyway, and it's Speed is atrocious. I'm super happy and satisfied with Jaroda, since its Speed is pretty high (base 113)! It's actually the highest Speed of the three Isshu starters, and the second highest stat of all of them (Emboar's Attack being the highest).
Speaking of which, Emboar will probably stick as the English name. It fits, eh?
We shall see soon ;)
I had a great time raising Typhlosion... absolute primary fire-power!!!!
Typhlosion is my favourite fire pokemon.
Typhlosion IS epically amazing... my favorite fire type, too!
Ninetales takes that honor for me! :D
I love the Dream World abilities--now Ninetales and Venusaur go for a great double battle pair!
(Look at their Dream World abilities if you don't know what I'm talking about)
Ninetales' dream world ability's awesome. I'm sure it'll be used a lot in competitive battling now. As for my favorite fire-type, My it will always be Arcanine, I just love it.
Arcanine is THE legendary Pokemon. ;)
In a way...
Note to everyone: never get lost in the desert... especially this time of year.
Also, the desert in BW is kinda cool! The alligator pokemon is fairly hard to come across for me
I'll look for it forever if I have to! :D It's gonna be part of my team.
Also, Jaroda is my favorite Isshu Pokemon right now.
Well, I should say, in White it is harder to find... in Black it is pretty prolific... and now it is starting to get annoying, but my Lv 23 Janoby is knocking it out of the park
My favorite Pokémon this time around is Shimama by far!!
Never haved loved electric-types, and to be honest Shimama looks pretty meh in my book. I won't be training it, more than likely.
BUT to each his own, right?
Reminds me of Gold version, is essence, your only real electric type pokemon you could get was Mareep and its evolutions because of the first gym being a flying type gym. I always had Ampharos in my final part because of that. I like him, but there's no versatility.
Yep... same reasons why I chose Ampharos... not really a much used Pokémon from what I have seen (it could be wrong)
Pikachu is the most overused Pokémon I know!
Pikachu is pretty overused!
I finally downloaded that emulator with the game. It seems pretty fun. I like all the new exploring I can do!
Quote from: drpamplemousse on September 26, 2010, 10:57:37 PMYep... same reasons why I chose Ampharos... not really a much used Pokémon from what I have seen (it could be wrong)
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, EVERYONE trained an Ampharos. If they didn't have Ampharos, they had Togepi or the red Gyarados. Now Ampharos is in the OU tier. Big-time. :P
Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 27, 2010, 04:09:11 AMIn HeartGold and SoulSilver, EVERYONE trained an Ampharos. If they didn't have Ampharos, they had Togepi or the red Gyarados. Now Ampharos is in the OU tier. Big-time. :P
Well, if it's any consolation, I trained Ampharos before in Gold and Silver and made it an integral part of my team in my original FireRed
Speaking of tiers and competitive battling, here's my short analysis of the competitive battling scene at the dawn of the 5th generation:
There has been added a lot of new Bug- and Ice-types. This will perhaps draw more Fire Pokémon out to the limelight again, while giving Psychic- and Dragon-types a harder time. The former has been continually gotten more opposition since they dominated the scene in Generation I, while Dragons became too overpowered in the fourth generation.
As mentioned, Fire types: Stealth Rock and Stone Edge spelled demise for them in the last generation. Pokémon like Charizard and Moltres were thrown down to the lower tiers, despite their stats and movepool, while Ho-oh had a hard time finding a spot on any Ubers team. With increased presence of Bug- and Ice-types, Fire can perhaps shine again... or?
Rock-types are up and coming, folks. And this looks ugly. With the power to completely decimate aforementioned Moltres and Charizard with Rock attacks, maim every other Fire type with Earthquake, and run over the new Bugs and Ices with STAB attacks, Rock look unstoppable in this generation. Expect to see Aerodactyl a lot, since he is immune to Earthquake.
Luckily, there's a solution to that problem as well: Drought Ninetales. It will likely find its place in the Standard tier, where it can cast sunlight over powerful Clorophyll abusers such as Victreebel (hello Leaf Blade and Weather Ball! And Sleep Powder!), Exeggutor (HP Fire, Psychic, Solarbeam and a status attack/screen), Vileplume (Petal Dance has 120 base power now) and Shiftry (which can learn both Nasty Plot and Swords Dance. Pick your preferred end of the spectrum).
However, the buffed Grass types live dangerously, due to the aforementioned Ice- and Bug-types. The cycle is complete, in other words. Fire is countered by Rock which is countered by Grass which is countered by Ice/Bug which are countered by Fire and Rock.
Alternately, you can elongate the cycle by using Politoed and bring some rain to the battlefield and counter the Rock types with Water instead. Defensive Blastoise love Rain Dish, and the numerous Swift Swim sweepers will make even Aerodactyl shiver in fear. Though, you will bump into the buffed Grass types at some point, transferring the classic "Sun vs. Rain" dilemma from Ubers to Standard. One thing is for sure: There WILL be more weather in this generation.
Concerning more old Pokémon with new abilities:
- Alakazam will take revenge. It was dumped into the Underused tier not long ago. Now, it has Magic Guard, meaning that it will never receive indirect damage. In other words, it can receive Life Orb boosts with no downsides. Coming off 438 Sp. Atk. Run while you can.
- Technician Breloom will also play a role similar to Scizor's of the last generation. Expect Mach Punch to come your way soon.
- Poison Heal Gliscor will also make an excellent wall.
More to come!

I know a lot of people who didn't train one. It's not
that used. Ampharos is in the NU tier for a good reason.
@Cobraroll ~> Let's not forget the fact that Stealth Rock's no longer a TM. That will affect the metagame big time too.
I agree with you on what you said about Breloom; definitely going to be used more. Since it has Technician and Bullet Seed's power increase in BW it's going to be quite powerful.
Can't wait to play in that new tier, definitely going to be interesting! :D
^True...
Still, every Pokémon with access to Stealth Rock in Gen. IV has it in Gen. V too, as it can be transferred over... it's just sacrifising its alternate ability, and perhaps a few egg moves. And for most of these, that's affordable, considering the awesome power of Stealth Rock.
Oh, and considering Ampharos... in G/S/C, there was very few good Pokémon you could train at the start of the game. Everyone and their little brother soon realised that Noctowl and Furret outright sucked, so if you wanted a good team, you were bound to end up catching Bellsprout, Spearow, Gastly and Mareep as soon as you got to Violet city. It's not that Ampharos is good, it's just one of the very few viable Pokémon to train...
Same there... but I disagree with one thing. I think that now, in Gen IV, Ampharos is very good. :P Access to a variety of move types, making it a fair Battle Hall competitor.
I still think that the ultimate Battle Hall contender is a well-trained Gardevoir.
Ampharos is a bit more versatile but he has the same base stats. :P
Yeah, agreed... same Speed issue as with Meganium.
I've met someone with a 59-0 win streak in Pokemon battling online.
His user name was Metal Grave; everyone called him MG.
So I used to get a little confused when some people call master_gamer38 mg.
I saw a guy on Battle Revolution yesterday with a team of Mesprit, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina Origin, Cresselia, and Heatran.
My faulty Wii turned off before I could do the job myself.
Absolutely no time to play Pokémon Musical today... so I've been training for the next gym battle!
Speaking of which, is Pokemon musical any fun?
its ok... its definitely better than the contests!
Interesting new TM list (http://serebii.net/blackwhite/tmhm.shtml), eh?
I do miss some of the old TMs, but they really replaced some of the SHITTY ones with better ones!
Venom Shock is going to be an epic win...
It seems pretty cool... I do miss Water Pulse and Dragon Pulse as mid-level TMs... now Boiling Water is going to have to do... better burn than confuse in some situations!
I happen to like confuse because even though Burn is a sure thing, plus lowers attack, confusion can stop the opponent from attacking as well as do damage.
yep. burns work best in the long run!
Which is why Will-o-Wisp is such a great move!!! :D
but it doesn't do any damage (and that's what I look for... my battling strategy is different. I only use damage-less moves when I can't have the moves I need in leveling up)
I enjoy using many non-damage moves. My favorites are Toxic, Nasty Plot/Swords Dance as the case may be, Calm Mind/Bulk Up as the case may be, Iron Defense, Cosmic Power, Confuse Ray (sometimes Swagger), Dragon Dance...
Growth will be amazing now that it raises Atk/Sp.Atk, but my favorite new non-damage moves are Shell Break and Ciol--especially Coil as Jaroda learns it (Lv38 to be precise) and Jaroda is the ruler of all.
Because I said so.
if you use "ruler of all" and "because I said so" in the same Phrase/Sentence/Modifier or helper of a previous sentence, you are perceived as something I don't want to say... Jaroda is not the ruler of all... that can be EASILY debated and a loss can be attributed to an extremely annoying.
Tsutarja and Janoby may learn some great moves (as well as Jaroda) but its basically, like KF said, an unoriginal Pokémon that looks like a Milotic... and it doesn't have the best Stat distribution... personally, none of them really do... and with base values at 528, they should have SOME semblance of being good (also, Togekiss can pwn them with higher base stats... Togekiss can really do a number on Jaroda any day!)
C'est mon two cents!
I don't think it's unoriginal at all. And just because something is "strong" doesn't make it perfect or even good in my book.
C'est moi two cents! ;D
Don't get me wrong, I don't want a flame war here, and I can totally see your perception of only using damage moves. But many competitive battlers (and me) look for something outside the run-of-the-mill Pokemon.
C'est MON two cents!!! You wouldn't go on saying "It's me two cents"
Also, I have a feeling that the starters here in Isshu may be underused (minus Mijumaru's evolution... cause it looks cool and water starters are usually the most overused), so that may help... but I intend on using Pokémon that are underused in BW... so no Munna or that Alligator thing or that Fire think that looks like a pre-evo to Hetran... etc...
I understand you completely! :)
Are you saving the overused ones for your alternate/English version, or are you just never using them? I didn't use a Staraptor in Diamond (my first Gen IV game) but I did in Pearl.
And I just copied what you said... therefore you had also made a mistake before you edited!
I'm saving Shimama for one of my English ones... Munna im using right now (even though I really haven't been using it)... im just about to face the fourth gym leader and I have no pokemon strong against it, so I'm gonna use Shimama against his Emonga Army!!! haha
So far my team (when I get the game) will consist of:
Pokabu's final evo, Gear's final evo, Yorterri('s evo?)... uhhh
And a couple more. I haven't completely decided yet.
My Yoterrie (well, Harania, or whatever it is) is at Lv 27... still gots a ways to go...
My team hasn't been constructed one bit... i am contemplating on using the ghost-chandelier!
I would love that! First time other than Vulpix I'll use a Fire-type that I'm excited for! Ghost is easily one of my favorite types!
Oh yeah! And I want the fire type ghost on my team!
So...
Evolutions of:
1. Pokabu
2. Gear
3. Yorterrie
4. (Fire Ghost)
5. (Water Type (anything but the squid))
6. ???
Oh no! Two fires on my team! Oh well.
:o
There's a squid??? POST A PIC POST A PIC
It's either a squid or a jellyfish...
I'll look for a picture, unless someone beats me to it.
OOHHH The water-ghost one!!
That one is like my favorite water type from the region lol
I just love octopi.
water AND ghost??? wahh!!!! yes!!

well yeah.. i guess, lol so true.
well, since Nintendo made the "recall" of the "non-released" pokemon from the pre-release, I can't get a picture... but if I find one in Black, I may be able to show you!
DRPAMPLEMOUSSE
Did you not see me post this earlier??? all Pokemon in pretty much hi-def (http://pldh.net/guides/blackwhite/official_isshu_listing)
I already know which one he is talking about!
Im guessing that jelleyfish/squid Pokémon is the water/ghost one?
Yep! :)
It does look kinda cooll... and I guess PLDH wasn't served with the Complaint issued by Nintendo (WOO! Lawyer talk!!)
Here's something. If someone from Indiana goes to Ohio and vandalizes an Ohio residents car and flees back to Indiana, and the person in Ohio files a complaint, what State Court must the trial take place in??? This may be easy to some people, but to 1/2 of my business law class, they are CLUELESS
Oh, I love the Raimon Gym with the roller coaster!!!
Please stop spoiling, I don't want to know really anything about the games--including elements of gameplay, and plot--until I play them. :(
And only Pokebeach and Serebii were contacted.

Im not giving away the plot at all... the Roller Coaster was on Serebii... I was only planning of tracking my trip through up to the 4th badge, because exploring the other cities is fun... and I have yet to find the city with the game corner and department store... and I need to find Black City
It was an element of gameplay, and I don't read Serebii's Black and White info other than the Pokemon themselves. I'm not mad or anything, just please don't spoil it. 'Kay? :o
Anyway, I'm having trouble doing much right now. Just bored outta my mind. Wanna have an epic Pokemon debate, anyone?
Is the crest/mask thing on Kenhorou a gender difference thing then? I've only ever seen it without one.
Quote from: HugoMeister on October 01, 2010, 04:24:06 PMIs the crest/mask thing on Kenhorou a gender difference thing then? I've only ever seen it without one.
Yep. The one without the mask is the female one and the "flamboyant" one's the male.
Birds need to get their act together!
In Journalism, we were trying to come up with politically correct terms...
Some of the things people came up with included:
Instead of "Handicapped", "Physically Impaired"...
Instead of "Gay", "Flamboyant" ...

*COUGH*
this thread kinda went quiet a little bit
My bad.
I don't think it was your fault... everyone's just doing stuff! Like Im in school for 7 hours today or im studying. (but why am i so tired)
I really think others don't wanna talk about the new stuff until the US names and release dates come out soon!
^
The Critical Catch features looks nice. I guess it can be helpful when going for Pokemon with a low catch rate.
It's helped me a bit!
Yeah, I just learned about that today. It really seems like an obvious idea compared with critical hits, but I never would've thought of it myself! Fortunately, I now won't have to endure any more hour long random chance tests of patience to catch the legendaries. The Regis, Giratina, and Rayquaza took me forever.
No, they have to make the legendaries as hard to catch as possible! D: I love those long battles...nostalgia ftw.
Most of the legendaries have a catch rate of 3, except for Reshiram/Zekrom. And imho it's going to be damn useful when you're trying to catch them in special Pokeballs (i.e Suicune in a Dive Ball).
They were epic battles, but sometimes it got kinda frustrating when day after day went by fraught with failure. I ended up using hundreds of pokeballs, even the ones with special powers and still it took forever. But maybe that made it feel even better when they finally were caught!
But, I do remember that my sister caught Palkia on the very first turn by throwing a Quick Ball right out of the gate. Not fair. :P
I remember...
I was having such a hard time capturing Ho-Oh...
So I decided I would be patient. I had my Pokemon survive it's attacks until enough turns went by for a timer ball to work.
... It killed itself, using struggle.

Same thing happened to me. I RNged Suicune and threw over 100 Dive Balls at it. It struggled to death twice.
I am either really lucky or simply understand how to catch Pokemon better than all of you, and I know it can't be the second one. I have long battles, sure, and fraught with running out of PokeBalls, suicide Struggling... But days to catch a single Pokemon? Never. :P

Who said it takes us days to catch them? Throwing 100 balls takes about 30 to 45 minutes when the desired pokemon's asleep.

Sleep usually wasn't an option for me, but I think it helped out when I could use it. But it did take days to catch them when I could only play for about an hour every day. I say that if you can get a pokemon to a couple HP and have about 50 pokeballs each of Timer and Ultra balls, one of those 100 should be able to catch the Legendary.
Strangely, I think I've lost some patience as a gamer over the years; I really wouldn't have minded waiting that long when I was younger. Maybe because I had less important things to worry about back then.
It once took me three days (not collectively, but about 5 hours) to catch a Ho-oh after accidentally killing it a few times, but I finally got it after 25 ultra balls and 10 timer balls!!
This Critical Catch thing is magnificent!
Yeah, I had the ho-oh completely asleep too, and still wasn't able to catch it after 30 rounds with timer ball.
After 40 rounds, it killed itself.
So I went to bulbapedia, calculated the amount of moves it could use, and each time it was awake and attacking, I subtracted one.
So after about 30 minutes, it was down to extremely low hp, barely a line, it had about 2 pp left and was asleep, so I finally caught it.
That was about the third or fourth try, after either accidentally killing it OR struggle death OR something random.
But then it died... when my DS Lite... wasn't in my pocket... anymore... in the mall... with HeartGold... inside it...
Oh I ragequit that fucker and just KO'd him in HeartGold. Twice I got him asleep and at around 10 hp and used heavy balls and then ultra balls until it had to use struggle.
I don't recall having trouble with Lugia or Ho-Oh in SoulSilver...
I don't remember anything about catching Moltres, Articuno, or Zapdos...
Suicune, I don't think much of a problem...
Latios, Master Ball when I happened to run into him...
Groudon, pretty easy as it was only Lv50...
But Entei and Raikou? MY GOD I spent a whole day tracking THOSE two morons down. Even though Snorlax used Block, their Roar attacks would have effect. -_-'
And I need to get SoulSilver out again and go after Mewtwo!

You just had to kill them and beat the league if you didn't want to run after them.

They "resurrect" in the Burned Tower.
SERIOUSLY?
>:(
I probably should have known that...
Oh my Arceus, that's horrible.
You didn't know that every single interactable 'mon in the game (I don't know a about Kyogre/Rayquaza/Groudon, I should verify that) re appears when you defeat de E4?
I knew they reappeared, but I assumed Raikou and Entei would just start roaming again. xD
The only word coming to mind is : fail.
I thought it was only for suicune!
LOL
I'm not alone here! xD
I am going to go play my DS! Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs here I come...
Haha, everyone I know knew about that. Guess we learn new stuff every day :P
I need to buy Guardian Signs! As well as FF and Lufia... and Kirby... gee, games are expensive. ;_;
You don't need to buy Guardian Signs, actually... It's not THAT great! xD
More like an appetizer to hold you over until the main course--Black and White--come along.
You should get Professor Layton and the Curious Village if you can find an English version, it's better. ;)
Well, I snuck into the kitchen and began leeching off of some of the ingredients that make up the main course!!
My work is done with Pokémon White! Im so excited for its release date here in the US!
What do you do as an employee of Nintendo?
squash the bugs after they make the English Translation.
I just watched the first episode of Black and White, it was amazing!!!
Team Rocket doesn't play around any more, at all.
The unpicked Mijumaru is kind of stalking them...
OH, and Slow, they actually made an excuse of why Pikachu lost to a trainer who just got his first Pokemon...
It's really insane, it really is. But in this case, insane is a good thing.
It's considered insane when on your first day in a new region, your Pokemon gets picked out by the region's legendary...
The only problem is, the person who made the subtitles did a couple weird things:
1. The "Hai!"'s weren't translated into "Yes!"'s, but there's nothing too wrong with that.
2. What really bothered me was that the translations of surprise were subtitled with "OMG!"
It was really weird when people like Dr. Aragagi kept saying that...
Doesn't Ash pick Mijumaru?
He doesn't pick it. Don't wanna spoil so you'd better watch it if you want to know. Or you can just read Ash's biography on Serebii.
Yeah, I already saw it. He pretty much picked it.
And I hate that he's getting Mamepato. Game Freak is getting typical.
This looks like it could be the first season where Ash doesn't obtain a Grass starter.
Unless they're gonna do it like season one--Pikachu, Bird, Three Starters, and... what was his last one? Didn't it switch around?
Sorry to say there's an episode with a female Tsutaaja coming up. My guess is that he'll either capture it or it'll follow him.
...and he'll end up catching it.
Sweet, they did it backwards. In season one, he got Bulbasaur, then Charmander, then Squirtle. LOL
I was surprised he didn't get Piplup in the fourth gen. Turtwig only, it seemed, then Paul's Chimchar...
Diamond and Pearl was a strange Pokemon series. :P
well, ash only got Treeko in Hoenn... and he got all three in Johto

Caterpie which evolved into Butterfree, which he released.
Yeah, but then it kept switching... I watched it up to like 50-something episodes... :P
The St. Anne one is hilarious, with James' Magikarp. LOL
Yep it was. Though the magikarp thing was used so much it wasn't funny anymore.
... but when jessie kicked it (or was it james?)... that kinda screwed them over. I did like how stereotypical the magikarp salesman was... not to mention ripping everyone off and all
also at beggining of episode "Aboard the St. Anne"
Jessie : Stop being an Ignoramus!
That was a long time ago...
I was up to episode 205, watching them all in order.
I hadjust finished season 4, so I looked for season 5 and saw the Black and White Anime in the process.
And since Ash isn't a new trainer, he doesn't get to pick one this time around.
I spent two summers ago watching Pokémon... and then other shows. I didn't go anywhere (except for Flagstaff in late August for three days)
The new Pokemon anime... is amazing! I've finished watching the first 4 episodes.
I really don't see how it's possible that anyone could dislike it.
There's just something about it... that makes it impossible to dislike.
Team rocket is extremely serious nowadays, though, and don't make little mistakes any more.
They actually know when to retreat. Right when you expect to hear "Team Rocket's blasting off again!", you see them manage to get away...
^Which is awesome. Kinda like in the first season where you first saw them and thought: Wow, what a badass team!
And then you're like... OH, they're THOSE kind villains.... -_-
So Team Rocket is back to their old selves... I say let them prevail at least once... they've been working hard for 13-14 years
LOL Then they would die of shock.
Well... they do have some big assignment (I still dont know because I know no Japanese). I hope Butch and Cassidy come back... that might be funny once again
Oh, and a note from SuperRiolu: I got all I can off NSM, just tell me when something big happens and I'll come back!
Hmm! I wonder why he left!
It's a long story: girlfriend, a trip to the US, some college applications for US universities, etc...
Interesting, interesting.
Also, Mew event for HGSS from October 15 through 30! Lv5, no special moves, comes in a Cherish Ball and a ribbon that prevents it from being traded on the GTS.
I may change my router settings so I can download this! Mew is adorable! Not to mention it would add to my unobtainable collection... so far consisting only of the Jirachi I obtained from Gamestop. And the Celebi once the event is released.
Hmm good. I'll be able to RNG 2 of them.
RNG 2 what?
Two Mew.
In the first season of the anime, they always blasted off. Always...
Nowadays, they're way too professional for that. They actually are aware of when they should retreat.
This time, they're prepared for almost anything. They don't use the Meowth Balloon anymore.
They're actually professional members of Team Rocket now; Giovanni tells them that their mission is to take over the Isshu region.
But, in truth, he's actually just trying to bring attention to Team Rocket, attempting to force the local region's villains to act faster...
Or something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: It seemed like the BW news storm was acting a bit quiet, but I just realized after reading about the Mew distribution, it hasn't even been a whole week since the last update. I guess I'm just feeling a bit impatient or something...
oh lucky... there's no wireless here... and if I get access, I don't think my DS will support the security certificate since I have to log in everytime I use wireless here... Cal Poly has one of the best engineering departments in the country (excluding MIT and Cal Tech) and yet our wireless system and our website is pretty shitty (though the sites search function is awesome)
ill try and figure it out... I may have to make an ad hoc network
Sounds fun!
pretty hectic and so many dumb firewalls!

Oh yeah, I've seen that. Kind of a useless 'mon to distribute imho... unless even if you change the date on your DS the season doesn't change? That would be unlikely though.
So it seems I can get that mew... I just have to log into the wireless beforehand
Growth/Vine whip for Bellsprout fixed.
It started out fine in Gen I and II, but in Gen IV Growth would raise your special attack while vine whip was a direct attack.
In Black and White, growth now raises both your attack AND special attack.
(If I remember correctly...)
You do, plus that makes it an awesome attack for others as well.
Ken Sugimori has released a bunch of Pokemon art in their dream world forms (see my avatar for Slowpoke's).
You can see them all so far here (http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_Dream_World_artwork)!
Those are freaking pretty!

AWWWW
The change in the art style and sprite design through all the generations is actually kinda interesting. I actually sort of miss the more detailed and realistic drawings used for the original games. It made the pokemon seem more like they were actually on our planet waiting to be discovered. But Chansey is so freaking cute! And I just like seeing my favorites redrawn in just about any style.
That reminds me, has anyone seen the pokemon drawn in the ancient Japanese style? I forget where those are...

Meh, Slowpoke looks too jiggly and weird.
Sekter77 asked for them.
Yep. Thanks for finding those.
Whoever did that must have had a lot of patience. I believe all four generations are covered on the website. Do you think that the fifth gen will get its turn? I would love to see how dementedly awesome they'd turn out. It's like the "dark and gritty" version of pokemon.
I already posted them in the pictures topic :|
Quite contrary to what I had thought beforehand, I actually quite like the legendaries of the fifth generation. First and foremost, they're not super-ancient powers fundamental to the existence of the universe. Like in the first generation, most of them are just incredibly rare and powerful Pokémon.
Genesect/Genosect can somewhat be compared to Mewtwo. An artificially modified ancient lifeform, though not to the same extent as its first generation cousin. And it looks really powerful too, though with a glaring Fire weakness.
I also think some of the new Pokémon will be quite interesting to see in competitive play. The chandelier one, for instance, has the highest non-legendary Sp. Atk in the game. I also expect great things from the Fire moth and Kibago's final evolution (sorry that I don't write the names out in full, but I don't bother learning the Japanese names).
However, not many old Pokémon have been substantially buffed. The dominators of the fourth generation are largely left untouched. The one that will benefit the most from the generation shift is Alakazam, with Magic Guard as its new toy. In the first few weeks of the metagame, you'll be hard pressed to find a Zam without a Life Orb.
I already look forward to Grey and the changes it will bring to the gameplay. However, at the moment I'm even more excited for the English names of all the newcomers.
Besides the genies, of course.

Ninetales will also be used a lot more because of Drought. You say not many previous 'mons were buffed, but looking at all those new abilities and moves I can only say you're wrong. Shanderaa, Ononokusu w/ Mold Breaker and Urugamosu will probably be used a lot because they do look awesome (and broken). I'm looking forward to see what the metagame will look like. Probably going to be fast paced using a lot of sweepers, but we'll see.
Now, put a Dream World Ninetales in double battle with Dream World Venusaur. Not only are their types good coordinating, but their abilities are epic when put together.
Do you think the dream world artwork will feature in a new TWG TCG set?
I envy you all having time to look up and play Pokémon and learn about the Dream World stuff... I am so excited about the weeks ahead (especially november... and not for election purposes!)... this is what happens when you have major classes to work in and then you work on your TRIPLE MINOR!!!
Dang...
Good luck. May Arceus be with you... XD

As for Ninetales, I think you are right. With all these new Bug- and Ice-types running around, most teams will need Fire support (plus a way (Clorophyll Grass) to take out all the pesky Rocks who also smack down Bugs and Ice like there's no tomorrow). Shandera will obviously benefit from this.
Ononokus will be a target for the aforementioned Ice types. Garchomp and Salamence will also hit it, and hard. Its defenses aren't exactly stellar, and 'Chomp 'n' 'Mence chew though anything that doesn't resist them. Both also outspeed Ononokus. However, where left unaccounted for, Ononokus will leave huge dents, possibly tearing down entire teams.
Ulgamoth (I'm using Bulbapedia's standard of spelling): Hits hard, but flees when faced with Rock types. Aerodactyl in particular will be the bane of it, resisting both of its STABs, its strongest non-STAB move, and outspeeding it comfortably. Tyranitar will also cause Ulgamoth to seek for exits, even though Flame Body may sting.
However, this trio will leave an impression on the metagame. What's left of defensive and stall teams will probably vanish. Generation IV started the trend of total offense, and Gen. V will keep this trend going. We've seen a lot more powerful offensive Pokémon this generation than ever before, even counting the fourth.
Also, another threat to be aware of: Doryuzu. 405 Attack and nearly 600 speed will leave an impression (yeah, Sand Paddle doubles its speed in a sandstorm). Sazandra also joins the lines of the Pseudo-legendaries, and is the first one of them to be primarily Special oriented.
I also think Smogon will have to enlarge the OU tier. That, or BL will be overly big and changing with every trend, seeing as OU is defined by the 50 most used Pokémon in the Standard metagame.
I haven't played much in the metagame, but from what I've seen, you're absolutely right about the offense trend.
To tell you the truth, I haven't seen any teams focusing on defense at all...
^That would be because they don't work anymore. At the moment, there is only one effective defensice Pokémon remaining: Blissey. The offensive Pokémon are now strong enough to break through almost anything that hasn't got a boost or two under its belt. Simply put, playing defensive can't win in the current metagame.

It's easy to counter Blissey when you know what you're doing. But yep, I don't think we'll see any stall team soon.
No, there are more than Blissey. There's also Shuckle, which is very effective when used properly.

Do you ever watch wifi battles or know what the metagame is? Shuckle's never used, hence why it's in the NU tier. It's also easy to counter when you know what you're doing, just like every other 'mon.
On another note...
I'm sure every one here has heard of the real-life Pokemon center in Japan?
It has a lot of Pokemon merchandise, but...
Not only are they going to move it, and expand it, it has also been redesigned.
It now looks like a real life Pokemon center.

The Center news is two days old, and the Pokemon snap thing is news for tomorrow.
But I just wanted to say how awesome the center looks.
If I ever go to Japan, that's the reason why.

Haha, thanks for the info! I was wondering when we'd get to know their English names. And I hope they tell us when the games are going to come out here.
Finally, VGC 2011 rules were announced! At least they were in Japan. Now I just need to find some free time so I can try to make a team.
Well, Drp, since you already know them--are they good names, or not so much? xD
Also, will we get to know their evolutions English names?
I guess not-- http://www.pokemon.com/us/
Look at the first headline.
meh.
I think it'll only be the starters. they will probably release everything like they did in japan, but through Pokemon.com rather than Pokemon Sunday
EDIT: I also got my hands on a good copy of the BW OST

Tepig (Pokabu)
Oshawott (Mijumaru)

I will probably pick Snivy and nickname it Tsutarja
I'll name it Jalorda! :D JK, it won't have a nickname.
I personally like Pokabu over Tepig, I could get used to Snivy.
Let's just see what happens with the evo names *wink wink*
Or nickname your Tepig TEH PIG.

But seriously, those are fugly names. Wtf.
Meh, we warmed up to the designs, maybe we'll warm up to the English names...
Maybe not.
I think it'll take a while though because we're already used to the Japanese names. I guess we'll see.
Was the transition this exciting last generation? damn.
Not for us, we were only in sixth grade. :P You were in fifth grade actually---I keep forgetting you're actually a grade behind me because I'm smart. 8)
Anyway, I've already warmed up. xD The initial shock had me like "WTF"
Crap, I thought you were Jub. xD
>:( :( :o ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :'(
what math class are you taking?
and you cut me off with your new reply, lol. Nope I'm not Jub
Don't know why. xD
Anyway.
So? what grade are you in?
10th, but I should be in ninth on account of me skipping first grade.
Ah, well I'm in 11th :/ BUT you're probably taking my same classes as i'm a year behind in everything and except 2 years ahead in math.

It does make sense. I still hate it though. Anyways since I don't live there it doesn't matter much.

I never really followed it... I was busy with being a Freshman and all.
There are so many underlying things pertaining to the US going on here. It's quite exciting! Black City is based on Vegas. The future regions will either be from the US, from North America or from somewhere else in the world.
Maybe they might make one on LA (well, it's a shithole) or SF (which is NorCal which sucks)... Maybe they might choose Canada or somethin at a later date
The english names of the starters have been revealed!
Namely: Oshawott, Snivey and Tepig
They sound a bit odd, don't they?
You spelled Snivy wrong, and we all knew that about thirteen hours ago. xD
But he didn't. It was like 2 AM where he is when we found out!
But they released the German ones if you wanna take a look!
Oh xD sorry hahahaha. The german names sound even worse. xD
You can't say that without telling us their names! Now I want to know. :)
I really don't like the new names much. Why couldn't the grass starter have been named Smugleaf? But that Unova thing is pretty funny even though I don't like the name much. I never would've caught that on my own. I think the name was also supposed to be based off of the US motto, "Out of many, one," since it has "unum": and "nova" which approximately translates to "one" and "variety." But I don't know if internet comments can be trusted to have perfect information...
UGH BECAUSE SMUGLEAF IS THE WORST NAME EVER
At least it makes sense
Snivy.
Snivy?
Meh. A Snivy does almost sound like a snake Pokemon, but the name is only okay...
Oshawott.
Oshawott?
WHY?! Osha... wott... water. Otter. It's a water otter. Woohoo. How many Oshawotts in a lightbulb?
Tepig.
Tepig?
TEH PIG. TEH EPIC PIG DOES NOT HAVE TEH EPIC NAME.
Me is not happy.
Unova...
Haha, Hugo.
Oh, and I thought this was funny...

The german names for the starters aren't translated well, especially Ottaro, it doesn't fit in the sense of the japanese name Mijumaru, meaning something like "little, unexperienced water otter", in german just the otter survived. Further you could confuse Serpifeu with the fire pokemon in german in cause of the last syllable, fire means Feuer in german and the feu at the end of Serpifeu... Last but not least, Floink rhymes on Spoink so you could confuse that also. I don't like the english name, Tepig, too. Tepig almost sounds like the german word "Teppich", meaning carpet on english... :D
French names:
Vipélierre (Tsutaja)
Gruikui (Pokabu)
Moustillon (Mijumaru)
Horrible. At least the English names are not as bad as those.
Gruikui is definitely not as bad as TEH PIG.
Disagreement; terrible name for terrible Pokemon equals perfect. Tepig fits it perfectly.
Hahahaha
:O Pokabu is the one I'm choosing. >:(
Terrible name for terrible Pokemon for terrible trainer=still perfect. ;) Just kidding. I'm sworn against Fire starters, kinda.
This is my first fire starter.
I've picked Charmander and Chimchar before. :P Trained Charmander in FireRed and Chimchar in my first Pearl...Torterra went to my Diamond.
Anyway, I'll be picking Snivy in Black, and then either train it again in White or pick Oshawott. (Most likely the latter)
I chose:
In Sinnoh: Turtwig
Johto: Totodile
In Kanto, I wake up to find that my brothers claimed the starter I want, so I'm kinda stuck with Bulbasaur.
Although I haven't been to Kanto yet. I actually wanted Squirtle or Charmander.
In Hoenn, (Haven't been there yet), I wanted Mudkip, but my brothers woke up earlier than I did. I'm stuck with Torchic...
Actually, I have been to Hoenn, helping out with my brother's Mudkip, but I haven't actually ventured there on my own journey.
Isshu! I choose Pokabu.
They're creative names, but I think they're just terrible :\
I do agree that they're terrible, but they don't seem THAT creative.
I'm just going to hold out hope that the evolved forms have better names. But, as I've said before, Snivy is going to be my starter, mediocre name or not.
Snivy isn't bad, it's just the fact that I chose the starter with the least favorable English name...
Quote from: Jub3r7 on November 24, 2010, 12:53:55 PMGruikui is definitely not as bad as TEH PIG.
It is when you know what it means.
Please tell us what it means.
I know NOA has been trying to combine names like "Bulbasaur" or "Squirtle", but I think it's getting old. They just don't sound as cool anymore.
Disagree.

Sure.
Gruikui
Grui: The sound a pig makes
Kui: It's cuit as in cooked/roasted.
Wtf is that name, seriously.
Vipélierre
Vipé: Vipère aka viper.
Lierre: Ivy
Reminds me of the english name though this one sounds bad imho.
Moustillon
I'm not sure actually. The only thing I can think of is mousaillon aka ship's apprentice.
There is probably loutre (otter) or something similar hidden somewhere in that word too.
Zorua and Zoroark kept their Japanese names. :)
That's cool, they didn't screw up with those. :P I wonder If Tornelos/Voltolos/Landlos/Kyurem/etc will retain their Japanese names.
Maybe. Probably Kyurem, due to the fact that Reshiram and Zekrom weren't changed. Although I could be wrong.
Also, do you think Kyurem will be (Grey?)'s mascot?
Probably. It does make sense since it's part of a trio with Reshiram/Zekrom. And since Kyurem doesn't have the same base stats as the other 2 it may have another form, kinda like Giratina. Dunno if the last part is true though but imho it's plausible.

Reshiram and Zekrom WEREN'T changed, actually.
Meh, it was a typo. Fixing it now.
I guess Voltros, Landlos and Tornelos won't be changed (much). Kuyrem, on the other hand, probably will. I know they try to make all the legendaries have the same names in every language, but Kyurem doesn't go very well with any English meaning.
It's not like Ho-Oh or Lugia made sense
After eating a Ho-Oh you may feel the need to hock up a Lugia.
Hey look, it's a Ho! OH It's just my x-gf...
I'm speechless..
You sure they had those puns in mind?
l a m E
I think the only reason we hate the English names so much is because we got used to the Japanese names.
I'm used to Snivy and Oshawott already. But...
But...
TEH PIG. TEH FIRE PIG. The fire type is the one I'm choosing, and the fire is the hardest to warm up to...
Its a pun on the word tepid....
Yeah, we discussed that a few pages back.

Victini and The Black Hero Movie Poster, although you have probably already seen it:

There's a rumor saying that Pokemon Black and White are going to be released on April 17th, 2011. Wonder if it's true.
Well, drpamplemousse probably knows but he won't tell us (I am not sure that he actually knows because of this) but I'd say that's probably close, being a month after the 3DS release.
Well, they told me something different... sometime in mid-March. When they told me, they also said that they were projecting to release then but there could have been a chance if something got messed up...
Long story short, that most likely is the new release date.
(Keep in mind Spring is March to June)
Ah. :P Alright then.
The US name for Yanappu is Pansage. The US name for Baoppu is Pansear and finally, the US name for Hiyappu is Panpour.
Hmm. Not too horrible.
Sounds like they are cooking Monkeys! haha
That explains their ties into the first gym, since they are a waiter, a sommelier and i forgot the last one
Pan, as in the god of nature.
Maybe they are cooking that broccoli monkey.
Pan-Nature
Pan-Bread
Pan-Some biology classification that monkeys belong to that I don't remember enough about to name
So yeah
^Chimpanzees, by any chance?
It's been a while since the games came out in Japan now, enough that most of the game mechanics have been uncovered. And I'm not sure on what to say. Smogon covers it nicely up in this article: http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue13/design
I'm sad to see the Power Creep here. The higher the generation, the better the 'mons, apparently. And the moves. Look at this, for instance: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shell_break#Effect
This means that a defensive strategy is doomed to fail. New boosting moves and new Pokémon with powerful stats means that most walls will be broken quite easily.
Other than that, it's nice to see new stars rise to shine. Ditto and Cloyster spring to mind. On the other hand, a shame to see Infernape go down, and even sadder; Snorlax. However, that's the way evolution work. New environments, new elements brought to the table, means that some have to go down, while others will rise. I will definitely get one of these games once they are out. And I can't wait to see what the inevitable Grey version will have to say for the competitive scene.

Actually it's pretty amazing imho. This means that the metagame will be more fast-paced and we won't see a lot of stalling, which can be really annoying.
^True, but it also renders a lot of Pokémon useless. In the third generation, offense and defense were pretty balanced. You could choose to go for a defensive strategy, or opt for offense. Now, all defensive Pokémon will get creamed, no matter how much set-up, and hyper-offense (all-out attacking without set-up) also looks doomed. It appears that the only remaining strategy is Boost-Sweep. And once a decent Pokémon gets Shell Break up, it's all over. Then imagine Huntail and Gorebyss, who can run both Shell Break and Baton Pass. Picture a Pokémon like Tyranitar on the receiving end of that Pass...
Shell Break's broken, yes. But there's always a mean of countering those kind of moves, like Taunt for example. Doing theorymon here won't really help. Teams will have some Pokemon to counter them, even if they manage to get one Shell Break up.
And you tell me this right after I spend three hours coming up with a defensive three-person team. :P
Meh, it wasn't entirely defensive. Just most of it.
Defensive 'mons can still be used. They are probably going to have different roles in the 5th gen. Nattorei's amazing and it has great defenses. People are going to use it, as they are going to continue using Blissey and Snorlax.
US release date: March 6th! I really thought the April 16th one was weird. Anyways, I'm glad 'cause it'll give me more time to prepare for the VGC... if I ever decide to go to one of the events.
They sent me an email on Christmas Eve with a bunch of stuff. I was excited with March (cause they really don't release games in April... they're usually February, March, September or October)
Secondly. There have been some new changes including new Pokémon names and such
Hiun City is Castelia City
Professor Araragi is Professor Juniper
Chillarmy is Minccino
Gigaiath is Gigalith
Hihidaruma is Darmanitan
Meguroco is Sandile
Mamepato is Pidove
Shimama is Blitzle
Giaru (Gear) is Klink
Munna will remain the same
I havn't been much for pokemon since Crystal. But the new games are fun too! I just don't have the time to play them.
Let's see, 50km to school + 2 times a day + 5 days per week + way to many weeks of the year + not so many games that can be emulated on my phone
=
Over 170 hours on Pkm crystal + all pokemon games from r/b/y to hacks to spin-offs beaten + almost all good nes/gameboy/gbcolor games beaten
Damn you school! I should have bought an nds and gba too... :D
I like most of those names. Except I don't see why they couldn't call Gear... well, Gear. Klink isn't much better.
I like Blitzle. I now need to save money in order to buy those games.
OMG METAL GEAR. I'm naming my first Klink MetalGear.
^Win.
Quote from: Roz~ on December 27, 2010, 11:42:13 AMI like Blitzle. I now need to save money in order to buy those games.

Living in Quebec + learning that we are going to get the French versions of the games = mad, mad Roz.
Hopefully I receive my credit card soon so I can preorder Pokemon Black in English. It kinda sucks since I don't know when I'm going to receive it (ie later than March 6th). I guess I'll bribe the guy working at that game store so he can get me an English copy of that game. So many options.
shado + math = GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I rarely get pre-orders but I might for this.
What were the puns again?
Solid Snivy, Tepig Boss, Klink MetalGear, Oshawott...

Actually it doesn't matter because even though I could buy it on March 4th I couldn't play until March 6th. So yea.
Also, English names are atrocious.
These names make less sense than the Japanese ones.
I am renaming my Cofagrigus Desukan. I'll do the same with my Erufuun. Unless I get used to those names.
Which will eventually happen, most likely... I'm pretty much used to TEPIG now.
Sometimes I nickname my GYRADOS "Gyrados", or TORTERRA "Torterra"...
but TEPIG will always be "TEPIG".
Make it THEPIG instead ;)
If I don't want to give them a nickname I normally just change it to small letters like you Jub
Gives them a more personal touch =D

I am getting Black version totally xD
And then the 3DS with my birthday money. But only if previous games for the DS can be played in 3D... Does anyone know if that can happen???
Also, going to get Entei today.
If I'm going to get a game from this generation I'm going to wait for the "grey" version is it comes. I don't know why people always get one of the first 2 in a generation, 'cause the 3 is always better. Crystal included a lot more, Emerald too etc.
but the first two are always more nostalgic...
I know people who get all three. :P
Me and my brothers alternate with who gets what. I haven't gotten the third game since Gen II, so I'll get it this time.
in gen 5, i'm really liking these 'mons

Nobody knows yet, but you can be sure it will work on the 3ds. You can check this link for more information about rumors on special 3D features for Black & White ;)
http://nintendo3dsblog.com/games/pokemon-black-white
I'm pretty sure that some programming is needed for telling the system which layer should be on which camera (that's how 3d works + fooling the eyes).
But it is possible that the 3ds can find the layers by himself.
~Only time will tell~
*sigh* the nintendo ds came out before the 3ds, thus they wont be 3d. but u can still play them-its like the wii:u can play gamecube games, just not with motion controles.
It says somewhere that all DS and DSi games will be played in 2D
I did some research.
"Almost all existing Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games can be played on a Nintendo 3DS system in 2D. With backwards compatibility, your existing portable games look and play just as well*.

I already told you that I was fading out.
"
(15:04:49) +Shadoninja: well hurry up
(15:04:52) +Shadoninja: i'm beginning to fade out"
I didn't (and still don't) know what that meant...
IT OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT HE WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE...
Oh wait, nevermind, he said he was fading out and not that he wanted... to just... fade out.
Anyways:Black, White, or Grey? (Or a combination)
I'm choosing Grey.
Should open a poll ;)
Black
White
Grey
Not buying
See General Pokemon for said poll!
Browsing the Smogon forums yesterday, I came across a couple of English names that have not yet been revealed by official sources:

Aaand....
...during my research for this post, I stumbled across THIS (http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/game/black-white), which should make the rest of this post obsolete.
Have a good look at all the English names for the 5th generation Pokémon. No idea where PokémonDB got them, but they all seem plausible.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA @ WHOLE POST BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT. xD
First of all, forgot to comment on this a while ago:
WOOBAT AND SWOOBAT? REALLY?!?!?!
Serperior=WIN
Emboar=CORRECTLY PREDICTED, STILL KIND OF A WIN FOR A FAIL POKEMON
Samurott=Umm, win Pokemon...I guess...?
What's up with Pansage, Simisage, Pansear, Simisear, Panpour, and Simipour?!? That's creativity right there... almost as much as Plusle and Minun...
I like Seismitoad and Scolipede. :D
Krookodile, meh, not horrible, I can live with it. Good because I'm training one.
lmao @ Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe xD, along with Foongus.
....Klink....Klang....and...KLINKLANG?!? The creativity has gone down several notches
Eelektross is really cool imo. Chandelure is an awesome name for an awesome Pokemon.
Did anyone else rofl at Haxorus...? xD All I could think of was Partners in Time, where the Hammer Bros. come into play and are hypnotized, and say stuff like "YOU WILL BE HAX0R3D BY WE 3LITE HAMMER BROS" or something like that.
Mandibuzz still > Braviary. 8)
I see most of the legends kept their names, including Gray Version's Kyurem.
Wow.... this gen really has been...unique... +_+

And this has been out since before even the first english names were ever confirmed, so....
(and they were all correct)
Me and my siblings went to the basketball courts, and did we play "Pig?" No, we're cooler than that--we played "Tepig." 8)
...Seriously. We did.
English Gym Leader name rumors, dunno if you've all seen them.
http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=3274 (http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=3274)
Me and a friend were coming up with our own, and we think our list dominates this one!
For one thing, Flo > Skyla, and Iris/Sclera is so much better than Iris/Drayden.
Also electric lady should be Carmen, because Carmen Electra is the best pun ever.
I think I got the English City Names down... theyre all portmanteaus involving clouds
Nacrene, Castelia, Icirrus, Striaton, and Nimbasa... take over Shippou, Huin, Sekka, Sanyouu and Raimon respectively. (and taking Nacreous, Castellanus (and from Latin meaning Castle), Cirrus, Stratus and Nimbus)
Aloe is officially Lenora, and therefore Hugo's findings on pkmnblackandwhite are correct (I never faced the gym in Castelia when I was working on it, so I can't confirm that)
Where was Lenora confirmed?
Either Pokebeach, Bulbapedia or Serebii. I remember seeing it somewhere, don't remember where exactly.
It had to have come from some 'official' source.
I have a patched version (well, 95%) in English.
It comes with an EMU link if anyone wants!
Oh, and its Black Version!1
Well. (http://nintendo3dsblog.com/there-will-be-no-pokemon-gray)
I am not sure whether or not that is true, but if it is I'll be happy.
Anyway, I watched the first two episodes of the anime today on CN. :D The art has really improved, but I'm not happy with some changes... ah, well. I don't really watch the anime usually anyway...
no
QuoteI don’t think Google Translate was able to capture of nuance of what they really said. Here’s a more accurate translation: “We’re totally going to make a Pokemon Gray, but we’re going to deny it for now so that people will buy the Black and White versions instead of waiting it out.â€
ha!
Oh, yeah?
I'd like to point out the two moves that no Pokémon can legitimately learn at the moment: Cold Flare and Freeze Bolt. They are both Ice-type moves, needing a turn to charge before being used. The interesting parts of the moves, however, are the side effects:
Cold Flare has glaring similarities to Reshiram's signature move, Blue Fire. It can even burn the opponent (30% chance).
Freeze Bolt, you guessed it, is like an Ice version of Lightning Strike, Zekrom's signature move. Yes, it can paralyze too (30% chance).
These look very much like something Kyurem would use, and I think we eventually will be presented to another Forme of Kyurem which knows both these moves, or two formes with either knowing one.
Also, I doubt that the last version will be called "Grey". Not only does the spelling differ within English-speaking countries (Grey/Gray), but it's also too predictable. I actually think they will go away from using colours as names for this one.
Time will show.
I really really REALLY hope they don't remake it at all. GET ON WITH IT GAMEFREAK >=P Out with the Ruby and Sapphire remakes already
Eww Ruby and Sapphire.

Patience. Patience.
They just released HGSS last year and FRLG came out in 2004... so were looking at late 2012, early 2013 for the remakes
Have a completely english downloaded version :P

Well, I already knew we differed on that, but they are my favorite games of the series...
Misty's Returning? (http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=3596)
Its a "hey this would be cool if...!" post.
The first thing it says is "There has been no announcement of this..."
I don't really care about Misty returning. They messed up Brock and Oak, I'm sure they would do the same with--actually... Jessie still has the same voice actor, right? So she would have the same voice as well... HMM...
Quote from: HugoMeister on February 16, 2011, 10:08:08 PMIts a "hey this would be cool if...!" post.
my thoughts exactly!
Jessie's voice in the original series was SO MUCH BETTER than the other series.
Quote from: drpamplemousse on February 17, 2011, 07:22:32 AMmy thoughts exactly!
He was stating a fact....
Also, I think it would be cool if she at least traveled with them for a little while, and meet Iris.
Still love this BW remix. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOmOn2tjIic) :D
I would love to see Misty return, but at the same time I would be terrified what they could end up doing to her. She's one of the few elements of the pokemon universe that remains untainted from my childhood, and I don't want to lose those precious moments.

This.
Also I preordered my Pokemon Black version.
And I just noticed something: My spring break starts on March 7th. Intense Pokemon playing ftw.

But that doesnt mean when I should be studying for finals, I would play B or W
I still havent decided which I would play first

TMs are now multiuse in Gen V

Yep... I used Aerial Ace on Emonga... and when I was searching through the list I saw it again...
There are reasons why TMs now cost a lot more (Hyper Beam is like 90000 PokéDollars)

A lot has happened since september, you know?
Also... since Im getting this massive financial aid refund... i may buy a 3ds... we shall see if I spend it all on coffee related products
I don't like the day 1 games. So I don't think I'll buy it at launch. It's another good reason to wait until the price drops.
Definitely after I bought a new phone, an espresso machine, and an iPad/Blackberry Playbook will I buy a 3DS (meaning next year)
AND GUESS WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!
Pokémon White
It's huge!
What do you mean, it's huge?
Also since I'm a cool kid I'll get my copy on the release date. 8)
Not really... but it functions fine on my DS!!!
Ill wait until I get Black so I can decide which I want to make my main one.
The one where I choose Tepig is the one where I choose to not have a starter in my main team!
Ah I see. I ordered Black and I'll go through that game with Pokabu as my starter, and I'll probably get White where I'll start my adventure with Mijumaru after finishing Black.
There are so many Pokemon I want to train.
I'll go through Black training the Pokemon I really want to train (Serperior, Sandile, Chandelure, Scrafty, etc.), then I'll play White and start with Oshawott, and train anything I may have missed the first journey or just other things that are cool.
I'll train at lest Mushaana, Zuruzukin, Kurimugan and I also need Daikenki but I'll just trade for a Mijumaru.
Randorosu is fucking boss especially with trick room support.
Hmm I don't know about a lot about single battles but I know it's average in doubles.

Youre gonna have a single pokemon for a while. I may train Hitomoshi. I did catch it, but this was before Fuuro (or whatever her english name is).
If you choose snivy, you get a free Panpour in the Dreamyard!
For White, ill probably choose: Oshawott, Blitzle, Drillbur, Koaruhie or Elfuun, Washibon and either Hitomoshi or Kumasyun
For Black, it'll probably be: Tepig, Lillpup and Pansage and then ill make come changes for a final: Gothitelle, Sawsbuck, Emolga, Swanna, Sazandora and either Hitomoshi, Shibirudon or Kojondo
Oh yeah, I forgot to include Panpour (I already knew that I got one). For some reason I always forget about Water types until it's too late. >__>
I like Gothitelle as well.
Wait until past level 40 before evolving Panpour... he wont learn anything once that happens and he has a powerful crunch attack he learns at lv 43
A great moveset for him is Scald, Surf, Acrobatics and either Shadow Claw or Crunch
Im debating on raising Pansear or not (Pansage, too)
Hehehe. I'm probably going to get Panpour. Just depends on my starter Pokemon.
That means youre choosing Snivy
But they can be caught in the wild east of Nimbasa City
I know. But I they're damn well hard to find. :P
Quote from: drpamplemousse on February 25, 2011, 06:11:31 PMThat means youre choosing Snivy

What, Snivy?!?!
Hahaha! No, he's talking about Panpour. Wish Snivy could though. That'd be awesome!
Just had my brother pre-order these from Amazon. Dunno which one I'm gonna choose, it doesn't really matter unless Growlithe isn't available in both versions. It is, right? But anyway, I think me and my brother should have a epic battle after we both have played the game. I remember that we had a tournament with Crystal and Gold. It was called "Gary Tournament" for some reason. We had six battles, first five were like with 10l, 20l, 30l etc pokemons and the final battle was with our real teams. We both won 3 battles but I lost the last one so I lost the tournament :-[.
That's interesting.
Also, the only way you can get Growlithe is by either
1. Receiving it when it's distributed in the dream world, or
2. Transferring it from any of the generation IV games.
I find it quite amazing how they set the map up. You're only allowed to travel half way around the circuit of cities before you have to beat the Elite Four, then you can continue and find other reigon Pokemon...
SSHHHHH!!!!
What really sucks about that, though, once you beat the elite four, everything is Lv 60 and above for the most part and you come out of the E4 with perhaps Lv 54 Pokémon Tops.
I discovered some things that might aid my quest when I start the physical game

You do have to admit that Castelia City sucks ass
Arg I can
Can't believe I need to buy a 3DS AND pokemon just so I can play it.... my current ds broke. So i may as well get the newest one, right?
What. Music is awesome.
I think he means the music at the beginning. Route 2 is awsm though. The only horrible ones are castelia and nimbasa.
Also, forgot to mention.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 03, 2011, 02:22:47 PMI think he means the music at the beginning. Route 2 is awsm though. The only horrible ones are castelia and nimbasa.
Nimbasa rocks! Its my alarm for 7:30 AM!!! What sucks is Undella Town -- really all year round. The Summer theme gets old REAL fast
xD Yeah I agree. Nimbasa is just kind of plain, y'know?
I LOVE Anville Town, more specifically the "revamped" extra track version on the soundtrack, Lullaby for Trains (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3r0iaj_Bzc).
There are several other winners, like Route 6 and White Forest, and I really like Black version's Opelucid City (and White version's too, I guess).
They put so much effort into the music of this game, and it really shows. :)
Also, Accumula is nice but gets old pretty fast and is kind of predictable...
I'm planning on arranging Anville Town, and I would like Striaton done as well--it seems to me like there are a lot of city songs in 3/4ths time this game! ^^
I like Icirrus too, because it should sound awkward when transitioning from 6/8ths to 5/8ths (as 5/8ths is an awkward time signature generally), but it actually sounds very smooth with the accordion and such.
Can't wait to buy the game.
Can't wait to buy and play the game. :P
Well, some places, in order to activate the entire track you hear in the soundtrack, you gotta talk to people ;)
Quote from: dahans on March 03, 2011, 10:29:22 AM*DODOMM*=?^^
It is a dramatic sound effect.
Ppl never get my doms;~;
I'm mainly buying this for the music. Although I have heard only one piece. But it was good.
POKÉMON BLACK GET! :D
POKEMON BLACK PRE-ORDER GOTTEN for my brother. :P
Black and White Complete Guide Get! :D
YAY! :D
Black and White for everyone! :D :D
I don't have it.
Sucks to your assmar.
My brothers have it :o
I got Black today, and I'm pretty satisfied! It's much more balanced, I think, than previous games.
It's much more put together... I've been out all day, and I won't get Black from Amazon until tomorrow, but I had white since last week... I just beat the elite 4 today and then I have yet to face N and Ghetsis.
Still, you can see where they are gonna improve for a "Pokemon Grey" or something like that... Kyurem will be the main Pokemon... duh!
No shit Sherlock.
Took a day off from the forums to play the game. Already clocked nearly 11 hours with my brother. Best day ever.
My team (castelia city, have not faced gym yet): Servine Lv25, Sandile Lv25, Tympole Lv24
Brother's team, roughly same spot: Dewott, Roggenrola, Darumaka, Timburr, Blitzle, all around level 22-23.
We both got Victini too... jeez, and I told myself not to rush too much...
We traded for Sawk/Throh too, and Panpour/Pansear (we stopped raising those at Lv17 because they suck...)
I'm also gonna train Gothitelle, Chandelure, and Eelektross (what is its first evolution called?)
Huh, just realized that'll leave me with all third stages, as well as most major types...and I just picked out the ones I liked.
Really amazed at these games, possibly my favorite region yet. :)
holy shit... that's a shit ton of... pokémon.
There was this massive line in the electronics section at target where kids were holding BW boxes.
I only small times I can play, so, it took me around 2-3 days to get to Castelia City (in white)
I should have black tomorrow, so im going to wait until I get my White team up to lv 67 or so!
A word of advice: Use Nimbasa City's Small and Large domes for battling.
Sure, I'll train Gothitelle and stuff there when I get there. Also, I really like Castelia's theme in game... it works best as mood music.
What is Eelektross's first form called, seriously?
Tynamo.
ARGH!! I've played the Japanese version of these games and these English names mean NOTHING to me!! To put it bluntly... I have no idea what you are talking about... -_-
White has arrived. *DOMM!*
Don't have time to play it right away 'cause gotta go to work ;_;.
turns out i did get white version....cool now i need a ds
Quote from: winterkid09 on March 07, 2011, 01:14:27 PMturns out i did get white version....cool now i need a ds
I tend to try and get a DS first...
I can play it, but my ds glitches up at least hourly.
Really? What's wrong with it?
Quote from: drpamplemousse on March 06, 2011, 08:19:47 PMI only small times I can play, so, it took me around 2-3 days to get to Castelia City (in white)
I only small times can no play... I small times study hand guide though (black white).
Also the holographic cover of the handbook is extremely cool.
Also very old news, but it doesn't seem right for them to make two versions of the same movie.

I agree. It's almost not worth going to see the last one to come out! They sound as if the only difference is gonna be the dragon...
I just realised I'm in your signature, Jub3r7! I don't know whether that's a good think though... :P
Yesterday I played this a little and was gladly surprised. I almost felt the same feeling when I first played Pokemon Blue over 10 years ago. That was an awesome feeling.

Same here! :D
I meant the reason WHY it glitches up hourly. :P
Well. it's old, the cord from the sd card slot to the main ares as snapped, the r+l buttons are broken, the back plate is loose, the screws holding the battery pack in are loose, in turn making the bottom screen's light loose. all this builds up. the fact that the entire inside of the DS was personally reorganized... i basically can't pick it up, it has to lay flat.
it sucks.
Jeez... How old is that DS of yours?
Middle of Route 6--
Gothorita Lv33
Krokarok Lv34
Palpitoad Lv33
Serperior Lv36 (8))
I think Chargestone Cave is close... so...
if I can find one...
HERE I COME TYNAMO
Quote from: fingerz on March 08, 2011, 01:07:49 PMJeez... How old is that DS of yours?
3 year old DSi
Lol DSi.
It's the newest one right now, i'm waiting for a 3DS now
I didn't know it's the newest one right now, thanks for telling me!
Isn't the DSiXL the newest? lol.
Sarcasm much?
That's not a new DS, it's an upgrade.
DSi = upgrade of DS lite?
Also the sarcasm was obvious, but I thought that it implied that you knew it already.
uh........... DSi XL is an upgrade of DSi
Methinks he talking 'bout the DSiXL.
Also I know you knew it was sarcasm but some people here are not good with that. So yea.
its still a new system...
HD Pokémon has been epic!
I would definitely get a DSi XL if the 3DS wasn't coming out. I knew they would release another DS, but because the games suck I will wait for a while until buying it probably, so I am sticking with my DSi for a while! (Even though the LR buttons STILL don't work after sending it in for repairs...)
Note that I'm really only playing in my DSi because I can't access Wi-Fi with any other DS.
I love how the game square icon's PokeBall moves like the other DSi icons... :D
Well, I'm getting a new DS lite for my birthday. My 4 year-old one has one of the screen hinges broken... If I had my say I'd still use it, there's not much else wrong with it.
DSi lasting 3 years!? That seems a bit short...
I bought my DS tank in 2004 and it's still perfectly fine. You guys just don't know how to take care of your DS. :P
Yeah, my tank is still fine too.
Yeah, my tank doesn't wor No... innuendos intended.
My tanks (I had two of them) work perfectly fine, then I sold one and bought my DSi XL!
This is really sad, guys. And I thought I was bad... :P
Loosen up xD
Woohoo! Have all six of mine, finally...
Location: Mistralton City
Team:
Serperior Lv36
Gothorita Lv36
Krokorok Lv35
Palpitoad Lv35
Tynamo Lv 35 New!
Litwick Lv30 New!
The lucky egg Juniper gives you is really helpful. :D
RAWR!! Don't understand any of these town names or Pokemon names at all!!! I need to learn these english names... :'(
All you has to do is to play the game.
I'm waiting from a new firmware update from Team Cyclops. Until then I can't play it, unless I don't want to gain any EXP. :P
Just... Just buy the game...
On my Emu, it works just fine and gains EXP!
leik, yu guis are so BA cuz ur like, piratin teh gem n stuf. itz kool.
trudat
Hahaha! Don't worry, I'm planning to buy the game. I'm just waiting 'til it's released here in Melbourne. Until then, I'm just testing out team matchups and stuff like that.
I've had to drastically change my team multiple times... I really shouldn't have taken time off from Pokémon White!
Currently:
Dewott Lv 36
Whimsicott Lv 36
Litwhick Lv 36
Zebrustrika Lv 35
Excadrill Lv 35
Whimsicott took me so long to catch because it uses such annoying status moves... almost as bad as maractus... good pokemon, though!
Dewott is awesome, looks the coolest of the three teenage starters.
My litwick evolved today!! Into lampent!! now I need to find a dusk stone...
also I need to teach Eelektrik some moves before evolving it with thunderstone... probably i'll just get thunderbolt...even though it has better phys attack. I'll teach it wild charge when i get the TM.
Dragonspiral Tower (beginning):
Lv40 Serperior
Lv40 Seismitoad
Lv40 Eelektrik
Lv40 Krookadile
Lv41 Gothitelle
Lv41 Lampent
:D
Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 10, 2011, 07:21:23 PMMy litwick evolved today!! Into lampent!! now I need to find a dusk stone...
You get one on Route 10 (above Opelucid City) and hidden in the depths of Chargestone Cave!
*Sigh*... I feel so left out. Hopefully I can start playing this game soon. :P
http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/First_steps_into_the_future_score_high
^That should convince you
Almost on the league!! ;D
My team so far is...
Lampent Lvl. 47
Serperior Lvl. 50
Galvantula Lvl. 48
Simipour Lvl. 49
Sigilyph Lvl. 49
Boldore Lvl. 43 (Yeah, I know. Curse you, Boldore! :P)
Only have to cross the DAMN Victory Road. >:(
P.D. This game was a little short to me. Oh! And I caught Thundurus with the Master Ball (couldn´t resist! :D).
EDIT: P.D.2 I´m the only one who thinks that TM´s are REALLY expensive?!? (70000 and more... :o)
^Well, they can be used infinitely, and in older games, cash tended to pile up in your wallet, so why not?
I personally love Opelucid in White rather than in Black (though it is pretty awesome in black)... Im a sucker for cobblestone!
I just noticed the electric type with levitate.
Even after I've been gushing about it for like four days?
Anyway, I went to Mistralton Cave. Picked up a Dusk Stone. Caught Cobalion. And caught the newest member of my team... I have put Krookadile in the PC, perhaps for good... or maybe I'll just train seven (yeah right). Anyway, my newest member is Axew--I caught one with Mold Breaker, and it has a Naughty Nature... hooray for awesome attack stats!!
Story position: Dragonspiral Tower
Location: Route 7, training
Team:
Axew Lv34 New!
Eelektross Lv 42 New!
Serperior Lv 42
Seismitoad Lv43
Lampent Lv42
Gothitelle Lv42
Also, I have my egg... is Larvesta worth training once I hatch it? Or should I stick with Lampent?

Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 11, 2011, 01:30:09 PMAlso, I have my egg... is Larvesta worth training once I hatch it? Or should I stick with Lampent?
So let's see.
Im currently: In Opelucid City, just entering the gym.
Current Team:
Dewott Lv 45 (I'm not evolving it -- Samurott may look epic, but I just love Dewott)
Zebstrika Lv 46
Whimsicott Lv 45
Chandelure Lv 45
Excadrill Lv 44
Rufflett Lv 41
Larvesta is definitely a good Pokémon, but it learns a move every ten levels, so you wont get good stuff until Lv 60 or so, and then it will evolve into Volconora (or however you spell it) at Lv 64... if only you want to put in a shitton of time into training it!
And for a Dragon Type, I'm probably not going with the Axew line, but the Deino Line!
Deino is really cool... but I think I may pick that up in White instead... it just evolves so late xD Plus you don't get it until Victory Road.
I think I'll get Chandelure--I wanted him ever since I first saw his design! I may get Cofagrigus in White too...
the way I see it, my White team is going to be not all that great xD just odds and ends of Pokemon I didn't get to in Black (like Minccino).
Friend Code: 5157 2207 2850
Trainer name: Jordan
If anyone else posts their friend codes, make sure to type as many caps as there are in the name... some people enter their names in all caps.

My Black team is the leftovers from White.
I really want Emolga because it's a squirrel... and I love woodland creatures (hence my choosing Sawsbuck, too).
Lol, poke center lady just wished me happy birthday. This game is wise.
The music has so far been a BIG disappointment:<. It's so...bland, I hope it gets better.
Music-wise: Pretty much everything (besides Route 2 and the Musical Theater, which are both great) up to...hmm, probably Route 6, is not all that great. But Anville Town is awesome; so are Driftveil, Icirrus, and many others. I also like N's theme "Captured by Formula".
I think that all of the battle themes are awesome!! I really like the wild double battle theme.
1 Ultra Ball in catching a Paralyzed Zekrom with around 10% of it's energy left... did they lessen the catch rate for Reshiram and Zekrom???
Current Team Status: Beat N and Ghetsis
Samurott Lv 53
Chandalure Lv 54
Braviary Lv 55
Whimsicott Lv 54
Excadrill Lv 53
Zebstrika Lv 53
does anyone have cheats yet? not for leveling or crap like that-i just want genesect and meloetta and dont wanna wait for nintendo's lazy-ass events... so?

I chose Emolga to my team 'cause it's a damn squirrel! I've never been into electric pokemons, but if it's a squirrel hell yea.
The most interesting thing about this game is that I have no idea what kind of creatures all this monsters will evolve. If they evolve.
It's interesting that you have to talk to the people in the town in order to hear the full soundtrack....
Although I think someone already said this. :P
That would be me!
There's like a musician in every town in that game!
Only 3... Village Bridge, Accumula Town and Opelucid City... those are the ones that change the music... I think Nacrene City might have one, also
I am back for TWG, and my, have I missed a lot.
I was in California finalizing my acceptance to UC Davis and then I went to Belgium for a mini vacation and got back a few days ago.
I have been playing White Version since it came out in France, and I completed it (there was lots of time on the plane to play the game)!
well, good for you. Glad to see youre back!

Anville Town there's a lady playing the flute, Nacrene City does have one, and if you walk near the dancing people in Icirrus City you can hear clapping. Also there are tambourines in the background when you start to walk while on route 1.
Beat the Elite Four today, going to face N soon. Team:
Gothitelle Lv47 - Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Heal Block, Psychic
Eelektross Lv47 - Crunch, Rock Slide, Strength, Wild Charge
Chandelure Lv48 - Will-o-Wisp, Inferno, Flame Burst, Shadow Ball (where can I get Energy Ball?)
Serperior Lv49 - Coil, Facade, Leaf Blade, Giga Drain
Seismitoad Lv49 - Drain Punch, Surf, Bulldoze, Poison Jab (works well with Poison Touch; good Poison percentage)
Haxorus Lv50 - Swords Dance, Slash, Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw (this thing's attack is so good it shouldn't be allowed)
Damn those elite four people were hard... Chandelure and Bisharp gave me the most trouble (though the latter was easy once I spammed Coil) I lost I think two or three times before beating them. :P I didn't use tons of healing items either (like I did in SoulSilver)
I had no trouble with the Elite Four. My Emboar Crunched all the ghosts, Crunched all the phychics, Brick Breaked all the darks and Earthquaked all the fighting. Took me maximum 8 mins to beat them all. That was on Pokemon White. :P
Including Alder?
I only have 4 badges. I don't really have time to play because of school stuff and I'm really taking my time anyways.
Alder... I haven't played the English version yet so I'm guessing you're talking about Adeku, the Champion. If so, yes, he was even easier than them.

That's because your training method is ridiculous (in the negative sense of the word). Having one strong Pokemon does not make a good trainer.
Well, you dont face Alder/Adeku after you beat Ghetsis and N and then level up about 10-14 levels then go to face the E4 again

I hate you guys. :P

I has 5 badges.
I now have 5 badges d00d. ;) Actually got it after posting that. So yeah. I'm about to get my 6th badge too.
Just got it last night!!
Oshawott - Naughty Nature - Lv. 7
Getting the game today. Woo!
Then off to some scout thingy lasting over the weekend, and a ten-day field exercise once I return to camp. Won't be able to play much until Thursday in almost two weeks...
Beat ghetsis last night...my pokemon are really underleveled...but anyway, I think im going to drop seismitoad for my event zorua, and drop gothitelle for a ralts I transferred over. Where do I go next? Because right of nimbasa is like lv60s. Maybe east of opelucid?
You can go to the right side of Nimbasa city, or the right side of Opelucid. Either way, the trainer Pokemon are all over level 60.

Yep theyre all Lv 60 plus... it kinda sucks, but theyre easy to beat with lv 55 or so pokemon.
I really dont know what Nintendo was thinking. Just go to the Large and Small Domes for daily battles and you can beef up there while exploring east of Nimbasa and east of Opelucid (where I started going east from... Roz will get a surprise on Route 11)

No, its you who's obsessed with french language...she just speaks it. (For everyone else, there's a guy who speaks french on route 11...whoopdedoo ;))
There's some french in the harbor-city place in one of the buildings.
Also I have 3 badges too. now my DS won't turn on.
I thought of Hugo when I talked to the German speaker.

Don't like them tbh.

Seriously? My crazy week's just beginning...
I only have one thing to do for school and I should only take me one hour to do so yea. Pokeman time.

I believe there are more French speakers in the game. I think there's two trainers, and another NPC that speak French.
I love that travelling Japanese trainer on that "TV show". I can understand what he says :p
Holy crap Taser, I can read your sig now! :O
I'm in 7th gym now but I still have only 4 pokemons in my team. Samurott, Gurdurr, Emolga and Vanillish. I made a horrible mistake choosing that last one. But ain't gonna drop it 'cause I spent so much time leveling it up. And it probably will evolve into bigger ice cream so I'm looking forward to it.
Ice cream sucks tbh.
Also need to trade to evolve my Gantoru into Gigaiasu.
trade your boldore for Gary's gurdurr ;)

Still need to evolve mah Gantoru. Meh.
Also Muurando's meh, I'm going to switch it for a better Pokeman.
I has added you roz.
The music in Route 10 is by far the best I've heard in this game. Although I don't think it's very pokemonish. But anyway, I finally found fifth pokeman to my team last night. Can't remember its name but it's like this generation's Tauros.
But what's with all these horrible names like Alomomola, Klink, Trubbish etc? Either very uncreative or just unsexy like Alomomola. And I really think that Sgarbage would have been a much better pokemon name than Trubbish.
Anville Town > Route 10...but I love the accordion
I think we can safely say that N's Farewell is the true winner of them all though.
Anyway.

Deal with it; I hate everybody for whining about how much better the Japanese names. Someone here *cough*ROZ*cough* is quite honestly irritating me by using the Japanese names over and over. Learn to like the English names because get this... THEY ARE ACTUALLY OFFICIAL
meh... I still refer to some pokemon by their japanese names, and eventually ill get used to them
and it's hard to compare city to route music. i like the remix "Lullaby for Trains", but Route 10 is in a separate category of it's own.
Ill put up my friend codes once i get it in black! I've been busy incorporating some new music into iTunes, so I have to work on that first! (Pan fried asparagus for lunch!)

You sound like we're personally insulting you when not liking/using English names. :<
I accidentally refer to Tepig/Oshawott as Pokabu and Mijumaru every once in a while, but that's just out of habit. :P
Why does my bad mood mind make me behave so evil sometimes? Sorry about that...don't mind him up there. :<
When im really in a bad mood, I just want to make sure everyone around me isnt in a bad mood... so im not necessarily a nice person to be around when im not happy
I just want to take peoples happiness and squash it like i do with spiders
I was about to say that when I'm in a bad mood, I bottle up all the anger and vent my anger towards other people in my head, thus not hurting anyone.
Although to tell you the truth, it doesn't help that much.
Well, I was about to say that, when I realized that it was completely off topic.

LOLZ I USE THE JAPANESE NAMES BECAUSE THEY'RE COOLER THAN THE ENGLISH ONES
Man, shut the fuck up. I'm only using the Japanese names because I'm
used to them. I've been using them since September, so of course when talking about my Pokémon I'm going to call them Enbuoh, Zuruzukin, Gantoru/Gigaiasu and Zeburaika instead of using their English names. Sorry to say it's hard to get rid of habits. Next time, instead of bitching me for something that's not even important, you should keep your mouth shut. Especially for something that stupid. Just saying.

now don't worry be happy.
My post is better.
shiny minccino get!
I traded over GTS for a Minccino today...GTS is so awesome. I got a Lv1 Oshawott that is now a Lv50 Samurott on my team instead of Seismitoad... Lucky Egg + Traded + Lv60 Pokemon in stadiums = awesome
Roz: I am truly very sorry for what I said... I have been acting immature and whiny all day today... I don't know why I said that. I need to get ahold of myself before typing stupid things like that...please forgive me.
btw I added you slow.
trying to train a solosis sucks because i'm in an area that's filled with mainly dark types -_-
Beat the game yesterday. Must say that I'm overall positively surprised how good this game was. Although it's not over yet, there's lotsa stuff to do. But my team is nao:
Braviary LV 54
Samurott Lv 51
Conkeldurr Lv 50
Emolga Lv 51
Bouffalant Lv 49
Vanilluxe Lv 48 =_=
I really love Braviary, my favourite of these new pokemanz. Emolga is pretty cool too, it's like this generation's Pikachu for me. Conkeldurr was very awsm too in the league.
But now I hasta figure out my friend code since I promised to battle one guy.
Edit. Ok, my FC is 1077 0448 0877. Add if interested.
Oh yeah... I've gone around Unova a little bit...only have not been to Black City... and I've been skipping trainers for the time being xD
Team:
Eelektross Lv51
Haxorus Lv51
Samurott Lv52 New!
Serperior Lv53
Chandelure Lv54
Mandibuzz Lv55 New!
Luckily, my Seismitoad is Lv51, so it's good for use on the Battle Subway or Random Matchup...
I also traded for a Tepig, and I'm going to raise it to my level...we shall see if it will join my team!
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Can´t believe it! Caught a Shiny Clefairy on the Giant Chasm!!
Well, it´s not my first shiny... (Caught a shiny krabby and shelder on PKMN Crystal, golden Geodude on Diamond...)
But at least... Hey! Who doesn´t want a shiny (without gameshark :P) that appears in front of your eyes?!?
PD: I found a shiny Sableye on Sapphire, BUT I DIDN´T HAVE POKEBALLS! That´ll be on my memory FOREVA... :'( :'( :'(
EDIT: Does anyone know where to train a Darmanitan at Lvl. 37? I´m looking for a nice place, but can´t find it.
Speaking of shiny's:
2 Fearows from LeafGreen (caught both)
Spearow from LeafGreen (killed... XD)
Exeggcute from LeafGreen (caught... phew)
Wurmple in Emerald (couldn't catch though 'cause it was before you get Poke Balls... XD)
Turtwig in Diamond (just started a new game for fun, got this and realised I couldn't save... F***!)
I hate the fact that the C-Gear is always on the bottom screen even when it's not active.
I have like over 50 shiny 'mons. :kewlkid:
Also only have 4 'mons in my team, don't know which one to add. Wanted to add Crimgan to my team because he awsm but he's kinda slow, so I might get Sazandora instead. Already have a dark type though so meh. Also Ononokusu's meh to me, could get one and rename it Hax0r or something like that. But yeah, Dragon types are kinda lame to have in-game.
I haven't even seen a single shiny. :<

Yeah, how lucky are you... Can we get back to my question? Please, I still can´t find a place and I like a lot Darmanitan! :'(
I finally found my Platinum that I restarted and Ive been playing that
So...
Pokémon White: Name - Nik
FC: 1077-0194-9108
Team:
Samurott Lv 69
Braviary Lv 69
Excadrill Lv 70
Zebstrika Lv 70
Chandelure Lv 70
Whimsicott (named Flufee) Lv 69
Pokémon Black: Name - Colette
FC: 1248-8373-1739
Team:
Pansage Lv 13
Patrat Lv 13
Tepig Lv 14
Munna Lv 14
I have made some major changes to my team... I still don't know what I'm going to be using! ATM I am using Nimbasa's stadiums to raise Pokemon to Lv50 (this does not take long when Lucky Egg is utilized).
So, the Pokemon I am considering are:
Serperior Lv55 (definite)
Haxorus Lv53 (definite)
Samurott Lv53
Emboar Lv50 \ One or
Chandelure Lv55 / the other
Mandibuzz Lv55
Eelektross Lv53
Seismitoad Lv51
Gothitelle Lv48
It's also worth noting that I have a Minccino that I hatched from an Egg that's Lv39 and will be grown to Lv50 and then evolved...but I want one with Skill Link ;) it's still a possibility though.
You gotta love the trading system via infared... so much easier/faster than having to go into the Union Room!
Infrared.
That reminds me of when my brother and I point our wii-motes at each other, and say "No more babies lol".
I just had my first online battle. And won! I'm pretty surprised it worked. The opponent was from US and I even heard his voice pretty clearly.
I can battle you anytime. ;) And yep, the online battles are awsm.
Also I'm looking for Riguree (Elgyem I think) with a Timid/Hasty nature with Synchronize as an ability. I already have a ton of them but they don't have the natures I'm looking for. D: If any of you have one I'd trade you another Riguree for it.
Well then we have to battle sometime ;) ;).
Haha sure. After I'm done w/ catching my Riguree.
Edit: Weeee just caught the 2 Riguree I need. Now I can RNG Reshiram yeaaaa
Riguree?

so, first time going through the Elite Four, pokemon are mid to lower level 40's, just to train a bit. i blacked out after the 3rd person.
second time, i beat all four elite four (having leveled up a little bit, not a lot. maybe one level here and there with my team). so, then I beat N. now my pokemon are mid 40's maybe some upper levels. and one level 43.
then I make it to Ghetsis. and I also beat him with my team, first try! by then my pokemon had leveled up more so they were upper 40's and one 50.
and, of course, i had to use a few max revives throughout. but only a few. i was still left with 4 out of the 7 i started with. i also used potions and that stuff, but still! i didnt use them a lot..
my point: is it me, or was the Elite Four really easy in this game?... Either that, or I chose the right team and moves (some of which I'm still trying to fix).
Have you fought the champion yet?
When you do, you'll have to re-challenge the elite four. All of their Pokemon will be a little higher than 70.

Insinuating that my 'mons are hacked when I spent so much time breeding them is kind of insulting. Anyways I can't battle, I have to RNG my Reshiram. Plus I'm pretty sure I could beat you. So yea.
You can RNG is B/W?

You can RNG in Emerald/DPPt/HGSS/BW. There's probably a way to do it in GSC, don't know about RBY.

god, i want a meloetta....
If you really want one then AR ftw even tho hacked 'mons suck.
i dont own an action replay :<
do u have one?? o_O ‼
I do have an action replay.
I do too! But it doesnt work on my DSi :(
anyone who hacks me 1 gets rewarded.
Waddaya mean by rewarded?
:o
I want a hacked Ditto.
I can offer a legit baby shiny Duskull, or a legit shiny Tyranitar with good IV's. Or a shiny Shaymin with good IV's.
But that's if anyone's up to it.
Nothx. I hate hacking 'mons plus I can breed my own shiny mons/mons w/ good IVs.
I see.
When you breed Pokemon, do you usually hatch Pokemon with at least 3 good IV's? I can't seem to get more than that...
I usually breed flawless 'mons, i.e 31 in every stats.
Also 'mons coming from hacked parents are usually considered hacked too.
How do you figure out IV's without RNG? :P
Not unless you use the offspring to breed more offspring...
I usually breed Pokemon to offer for event Pokemon I missed out on, or old Pokemon that were raised, but aren't loved anymore.
I even named a storage box "Onced <3'd", to keep the forgotten memories of people. The box is almost full :p
Also, I thought RNG abusing only creates shiny Pokemon.
No, you can also abuse your 'mons IVs. It's be kind of pointless if you could only abuse shininess imho.

NOES. Never use Serebii IVs Calculator. Shit sucks. It usually messes up a lot and you end up with random/wrong IVs.
Use this one instead:

That calculator IS much better than Serebii's! I just don't like the website layout, though :p
Haha yeah, I don't like it either. :P
there's an action replay code that lets you see the EVs and IVs of a pokemon in the summary. I don't know if it works on black and white but I know there's a working one for heartgold and soulsilver.
Ya there's one working for B/W.
I don't really need anything considering that I can breed 'mons.
Does anyone know where you can find Pomeg berries in B/W? I know you can only find some IV berries on certain wild Pokemon, but I don't know which ones...

goals for pkmn black:
-get genesect
-get meloetta
How the hell did you get that!?!
traded with someone online. the event is may 13 i think.
Genosect was never released, not even in Japan. So it's a hack.
idc-hes pretty kewl.
Could I get more details about the events of Meloetta and Genesect? None of the websites I visit are not very specific on details.
i couldnt find much either. the only thing i keep hearing is may 13 for genesect...
Got the game about two weeks ago, and beat the fourth gym today (I would have gotten longer if it hadn't been for that military exercise). It's actually better than I had anticipated.
Yes, many of the Pokémon look and/or feel exactly like existing 'mons, but I expect that to become better further into the game. After all, in the beginning, the game makers need specific roles to be filled, and when they absolutely have to exclude all the old ones, they need to recast.
The music is better than expected too. I love the dynamic scores. Accumula Town is my favourite, with the piano and drums. The melodies are generally better than in D/P as well.
But first and foremost, the gameplay changes. Move diversity, weather, little tweaks... all for the better, as far as I can see. The "POKéMON's attack missed!" message will be sorely missed, but it seems more credible that the opponent managed to avoid getting hit, rather than implying that your own Pokémon just fired at a stationary target and missed. Also good that they FINALLY managed to put Pokémon names with proper capitalization.
However, the most prominent mechanic change is the new exp. system, which basically eliminates the option to stay and grind, and makes it WAY easier to train weak Pokémon with an exp. share. It forces you to proceed with the story, unless you stand the ever-decreasing amount of experience each of your Pokémon gets when it levels. Audino can speed up this process somewhat, but it only delays the problem. And it takes ages to force Audino to appear. All in all, I think the new exp. mechanic is an improvement, but a bitter one at times. I can't imagine how long it must take to get a Pokémon to level 100 in this game...
One downside, though: the Town map. It's rather crude compared to its predecessors, with routes not lining up, or even shown at the wrong side of cities (Accumula), and connections to off-road locations missing completely.
All in all, I'm satisfied with this game so far, and look forward to play it again tomorrow.
How is this? Is it decent?: Tepig - #498 (Calm) Male (â™,) Blaze: 30 / 23 / 7, 9 / 31 / 15 / 16
The Defense stat is pretty low though, but overall I think it'll be fine. Now what should I EV train it? I'm starting with Attack, so maybe HP as well since it's so high?
that tepig seems like it'd be a special attacker or a mixed attacker. you'd probably want to maximize its sp atk. next would either be HP for a bit of survivability or attack to be mixed although the nature lowers his attack. the last 4 could go into speed.
252 HP/252 Sp Atk/4 Spd
Or 252 Atk/252 Sp Atk/4 Spd
however you should try for something that increases attack
Lonely
+Attack, -Defense
Brave
+Attack, -Speed
Adamant
+Attack, -Special Attack
Naughty
+Attack, -Special Defense
Brave or adamant would be the best of the four choices

Oh my god. Accumula Town is by far the worst song in the game, next to Nimbasa City...what is wrong with your ears? xD
Anyway, the routes do line up. You only get to visit the western region of Unova pregame, and the eastern side post-game. It goes in a circle. The routes near Route 1/Accumula Town are so named because they are optional/you can't visit them until after you obtain surf. It's kind of how Route 24/25 are at the beginning of Red and Blue.
Meanwhile, if you don't like the Pokemon at the beginning because they have a "horrible design" or a "stupid name" or they're just "role-fillers" then you will be disappointed at the rest of the game. I like them, but they don't change, really. There are a few notably good ones like Bisharp, Mandibuzz, and Chandelure, however.
So anyway I visited Black City for the first time and there is no one there...is this because I just switched to the 3DS? :P
Team:
Serperior Lv55
Eelektross Lv55
Samurott Lv56
Mandibuzz Lv56
Haxorus Lv56
Chandelure Lv57
...Going through all the post game routes, I've only been through one. Had to spend a while training at the Nimbasa stadiums...
I'll be going on a ten or eleven hour drive starting tomorrow night, though, so I will have plenty of time to finish up Black and start on White! :D

Even though I'm gonna evolve it? Wouldn't it be Fire/Fighting then? So I guess the second one would be best as I've already got 131 EVs on Attack.

You should hear Village Bridge. At first it seems dull, but if you talk to certain people, the song sounds amazing. It's one of my favorite spots to train my stronger Pokemon.

I didn't get to it in Black since I was training Krookodile (for a period of time anyway) and I didn't want another Dark-type...I will definitely be using it in White though, along with probably Swoobat.

Too bad it's offline right now. :P
Wouldn't have tried it right now anyway, I'm too tired. Plus I need to concentrate on catching my Reshiram.
Reshiram and Zekrom are ridiculously easy to catch for some reason...maybe because you HAVE to. :P
well they do have a capture rate of 45 which is pretty average.
Isn't it supposed to be Winter in-game by now? It still says Autumn for me...

That's not what I meant, though I can see that it could be interpreted that way. What I meant is that some routes are depicted entirely wrong on the town map, such as with Accumula where Route 2 goes west for a while before turning north, but the map depicts it as going straight north out of Accumula. Route 6 too goes more north than west, but the map shows it going linearly northwest. Similarly, Cold Storage is so close to Driftveil that it should count as part of the city, yet on the map it appears to be a fair distance away. Same goes for most other off-route locations.
Well, even so, you enter it from the west and it's just a straight path north... but now I know what you mean anyway.
And btw there are tons of cities and stuff with instruments that you can activate by talking or going near people. (Ex. in Nacrene City the guy with the accordion)
Have you figured out yet that on routes, while walking the drums can be heard in the score, but not while motionless?
I have no internal clock on my DSi, so it';s been spring this whole time.
Seeing as everybody else uses the, you know, news topic for this kind of questions, I thought I'd have a go myself:
I just trained my pathetic Pansear to lv. 43, taught it Crunch and evolved it. Coincidentally, that happened to be just ten minutes after I got my Litwick in Celestial Tower. Pansear's capabilities have struck me as mediocre at best throughout the entire game, while Chandelure seems like a beast.
Though, here I am with a lv. 43 Simisear with Fire Blast and Crunch, vs a lv. 28 Litwick with one third of Simisear's stats and Flame Burst. Would it be better to keep Simisage in my team for now, then wait with Litwick, or should I drop Simisage and train Litwick, who eventually will become Lampent, instead? Mind you, I'm thinking on a relatively short term basis here. I will eventually get a good Chandelure, but I'm just not sure if now is the right time to start training one.
Definitely chandelure--it's a little frail but its sp. Atk beats even Porygon Z. Will also serve well against the elite four.
Anyway nobody even mentioned the inconvenience of having pokeballs in the same pocket as items...
Anyway I finally have a team. Here it is currently:
Serperior Lv58
Chandelure Lv58 (I love its modest nature)
Carracosta Lv58
Eelektross Lv58
Haxorus Lv59
Krookadile Lv59

I found the entire bag layout inconvenient. You had to click an item with your finger and then press cancel just to use the d pad to scroll down. I like using the d pad
I think HGSS had the best menu system, and if you add the scroll bar from BW and its even better

However, would it be wise to switch a trained and somewhat powerful Pokémon for an untrained weak one at this point in the game? I mean, Simisear can pack a punch, while Litwick is rather lackustre at the moment. If I waited with training Litwick, it would go faster, but would I quickly run into a point where Simisear would struggle against in-game opponents?
I would say keep the 'sear.
Quote from: drpamplemousse on April 04, 2011, 12:42:00 PMI think HGSS had the best menu system, and if you add the scroll bar from BW and its even better
^This. Would be so awsm.
I spend way too much time analyzing mobile phone OSes! I know the perfect menus and stuff!
You can become a mobile phone master, maybe write for CNet and do the reviews! Nevermind, you're going to work for KPMG, Deloitte or PwC, right?
I can't believe I am moving to the United States for a long time for school!
I've been playing White a lot and I really loved what they did! I love the two French travelers east of Opelucid City!
yep... that's the plan. I just had a pleasant conversation today with our campus recruiter from PwC... My job now is to go to some events and introduce myself to partners of the firms and NETWORK.
I can't believe it either, you're going to have a blast in bankrupt CA! When you come out here, you gotta visit your rival school down in San Luis Obispo!
I personally like a little better than black, but im finishing Black right now!

Try playing the Japanese version. They speak English. Stupid Japanese, thinking we're oblivious. :P
And the other hiker dude is French
They should have romanized Japanese for one of the hiker dudes

Could be. :P
I'VE FINALLY STARTED PLAYING BLACK VERSION!! :D :D
Here is my team so far. I've beaten the first gym and now I'm off to the Dreamyard.
Oshawott - Lv. 16
Pansear - Lv. 10
Lillipup - Lv. 5
Patrat - Lv. 4
Purrloin - Lv. 4
------- - ---
I haven't thought about what I should have in my team except Oshawott, so does anyone have any suggestions?
Scraggy will help you a lot.
Why do people always ask others what to use on their teams? Why not just catch the 'mons you think look cool and use them? Someone may think that a 'mon is awsm, then you catch it and you think it sucks and you basically wasted your time.
on an unrelated note: I now have a scraggy with dragon dance and drain punch *evil face*
DDance eh? I prefer Bulk Up. :3
Also Drain Punch <3
the defense increase is nice but I prefer speed.
Makes sense because it's a really slow 'mon. I personally use it in TR teams so that's why BU > DDance imho.
Moxie Sandile. Great for longer battles later in the game (good luck stopping its sweep unless you are faster than it!).
Timburr is cool too, but its learnset is somewhat... well, you have to breed it to get the coolest moves, and if you want Mach Punch (you
do), you have to beat the Elite Four and transfer Pokémon... which makes it a little dull in-game. Guess Scraggy is better to use in the story.
Drilbur evolves and becomes awesome. It can also be caught early on.
Litwick is almost mandatory... which makes it a little boring to use. If you've played White already, you've probably used it for all it's worth and might want to try something new instead. It will also be a while before you meet it.
Nope, I never used Litwick (I have White)
I try to use pokemon that are less often used.
Elite Four was a bitch.
Swoobat any good? I think it would be good if it learnt good Flying/Psychic moves.
Swoobat is very good as a matter of fact. With Air Slash and Psychic at your disposal you should be pretty helped by it. Return also works rather well because of the fact that it requires friendship to evolve from Woobat. Just don't mess it up by teaching it Fly.
My brother and I trained up four Pokemon each to Lv50 and then battled each other twice. 'Twas fun, especially because I beat him both times.
Here's my team: I realize it's not that great, but realize we each had to put ours together in roughly an hour and a half, maybe less. Those kinds of on-the-spot challenges are fun.
1. Cofagrigus
Hardy nature
Capable of taking hits
Mummy
Energy Ball, Curse, Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp
2.Reuniclus
Modest nature
Often dozes off
Magic Guard
Psychic, Reflect, Recover, Endeavor (this was not intended to be an offensive Reuniclus)
3.Cinccino
Hardy nature
Hates to lose
Technician
Bullet Seed, Tail Slap, Rock Blast, Wake-Up Slap
4. Honchkrow
Docile nature
Likes to fight (don't ask how it can be both docile and fond of fighting)
Super Luck
Scope Lens
Aerial Ace, Foul Play, Facade, Night Slash
I realize this team has so much potential to be better, especially with Honchkrow and Reuniclus (I don't think Cinccino could get much better). Any suggested movesets for the other three? (Note that the only move I'd be getting rid of with Cofagrigus would be Energy Ball, I couldn't think of anything better)
Beat Cilan, he was easy. Now arriving at Nacrene City! This should be easy. :P
Red - Going to be in my actual team.
Blue - Could be in my actual team.
Black - Not going to be in my actual team.
Dewott - Lv. 20
Pansear - Lv. 10
Woobat - Lv. 11
Blitzle - Lv. 11
Roggenrola - Lv. 11
Pidove - Lv. 11
I'm open to all suggestions. If there's a Pokemon that you think'll be good for my team, tell me! :D
hey i've been doing some trading/breeding lately and am willing to trade some of these little pokemons:
-cyndaquil, lvl 1

this just in: global link expected to be released on april 13th
http://en.pokemon-gl.com/pre/en.html
Finally, I want to try this Dream World stuff >.>
It's way over due; Japan had it up on the release day, and regions outside of Japan could have tried harder to get it up and working >:(
Yeah, it's not like they had a giant earthquake or anything.
^this

I think so too...it was just random how they pitted the rivals against each other.
Anyway you would not believe the trouble I went through to hatch a deino with the egg move dark pulse... but I have several if anyone wants one. Its impossible to obtain without transferring from HGSS or DPPT... if anyone wants one let me know
I would love one.
oh, just save one for this weekend then
so I was on Global link today and caught me a lotad.
Im going to wait until the weekend
I have a 4 page English paper due tomorrow that hasn't been written (cause the teacher didnt give us a prompt) and a 2 page French dissertation... and stat homework on the Analysis of Variance.
I got an Igglybuff yesterday in the dw :3 so adorable.

That's my Pokemon... and my ultimate move... -_-
Then pm me your friend code and a time in EST that you can go on GTS Negotiations and trade for it.
So anyway the Lv1 Deino that I picked is now a Lv65 Hydreigon. :3 Modest nature, Highly Curious = AWESOME Sp. Atk.
Moves: Flamethrower, Surf, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse.
I taught it Flamethrower and Surf in a desperate attempt to give it a wide variety of types with Special moves. :-/ anyone know some better ones? I'm going to keep Flamethrower for the annoying Ferrothorn that shows up.
Also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tppdc5t-5qM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
It's actually a really solid moveset.
It doesn't have a lot of different special attacks, so it's kinda meh.
The only thing you should change is Fire Blast > Flamethrower. And maybe Draco Meteor > Dpulse.
I'm sad... I beat the poke` league and I was walking along the next route, and guess what? A wild pokemon popped up and defeated all of my party. And I was thinking, I beat the Poke` league, I beat N, but I still lose to wild pokemon? And it was six levels higher than me! And, to top it off, it said, "You dropped 1832 poke`!" I could rant about this all day...
But I just caught Kyurem with my Master ball and now it does all my dirty work. ;D
Using legendaries = lame~
On another note, I need to breed a Samurott. Should've picked Oshawott as my starter.
i started with oshawott. i can trade u an egg if you still need one.
I have a samurott I raised from an oshawott...I could trade you an egg if you want. Also, where can I get the tm for fire blast? (I do like flamethrower's reliability but fire blast is so much better)

Nope. Need Samurott for competitive play, not for my in-game team.

You can get Fblast in Icirrus City. 70 000$ iirc.
And an egg would be nice but I'm stuck in N's castle because I don't have time to play/RNG Reshiram, so I won't be able to trade for a while.
Urrrgh alder is annoying...especially volcarona and bouffalant.
