And you thought it was going to be called Pokemon Gray ~ Pokemon Topic GO!

[BT]

Well, something in your post back then implied that the E4 are MEANT to ko anyone using solo-starter or something like that. N's Castle though... Hydreigon begs to differ. I'm pretty sure it matches well against even Emboar.

OHKOs in the E4 shouldn't happen for sure, but they're nowhere as easy as some people are making them out to be, which is what I've been trying to say this entire time.

N's Castle though... Hydreigon begs to differ. I'm pretty sure it matches well against even Emboar.

Hydreigon is faster at base than Emboar. Case closed

[BT]

Duh. I'm saying that, because of that, even an Emboar that's ten levels higher might get outsped. Surf can do quite a lot.

(I was agreeing, not disagreeing, if it wasn't clear.)

Pokemon Plus Nobunaga's Ambition confirmed for a US release as Pokemon Conquest on June 18th.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

[Hanzo K.]

And I am more than okay with it!

And I am WAY more than okay with it! :3

Pokemon Black2 White2 info

corocoro 1
corocoro 2

Takes place in an extension of Unova, 2 years after BW, and most, if not all of the Eastern side of Unova is frozen
New professor
New main characters
New rival
Some (?) new gym leaders:
Homika, Poison type
Shizui, Water type

[Garlyle]

Other information includes new cities and the National Dex having ~300 Pokemon this time.

So I'm a little excite.

[BT]

Ok I'm happy I'm happy

[BT]

Other information includes new cities and the National Dex having ~300 Pokemon this time.

The National Dex being the Pokedex you start with, this time?

Or does that mean they made ~400 Pokemon 'disappear'?  :ohdear:

Okay nevermind it's the Unova Dex not the National Dex.

Tyranitar is available oh boy oh boy!

[Red Frost]

I'm liking the new girl character.  She reminds me of Roxanne, but with less forehead (seriously, she'd be so much cuter with bangs).  The new male is... ehh...  He just needs to slap on some goggles and he looks like he'd be read for his first Digimon Adventure.  His hair's weirder than the protagonist in R/S/E, and this was back when I thought his hat was his hair.

Some (?) new gym leaders:
Homika, Poison type
Shizui, Water type

FFFFF, thought you were naming 2 new Pokemon... oh well, still excited.

[Moerin]

Oh hey, looks like I'll be playing the female character again.  Although the guy is kinda cute despite his bad hair day... Hmmm.

Since it's two years in the future, I'm wondering if Hilda/Hilbert will end up like Red did in GSC.  Would be immensely awesome if they did, ahah~

[MatsuriSakuragi]

shut up and take my money

(I am so getting this. Though, I wonder which one I should get-- I mean, I got White version when the first one came out, so is there some sorta benefit to buying White 2, or should I get Black 2? Hmm.)

[MaStErSpArK94]

So looking forward to this! 

Totally gonna use the female character, I like her design a lot.

[Moerin]

...Seriously, what's with male protag's hair?  It's really starting to bug me now. >.<

Female protag, though... I really like her design, even if it looks like Obi Wan Kenobi is her only hope.  I guess Unova just has the best designed female characters, ahah~

[チソウ タイゼン]

Ah, dude, what the shit happened to the world map

[trancehime]

Ah, dude, what the shit happened to the world map

Like I mentioned, the Eastern part of Unova is frozen. Most of the game takes place in the Western extension of Unova.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Yeah, but I was rather fond of some of what got frozen :<

No more Opelucid City or Route 10 music

Oh, what if this whole deal was Hilda/Hilbert's fault for capturing Kyurem or something?

[BT]

This is kind of like DP-->Platinum. SUDDENLY: CLIMATE CHANGE.

The secret behind the guy's hair is that it's a tiiiiny Piloswine. Either that or the characters are giants.

I'm also thinking about this. I guess the desicion will get easier when more information has been released.

Did that Office Lady's sprite move?  Huh, seems like they'll be animating trainer sprites as well.

[Garlyle]

damnit I was hoping the Rival would actually have a name revealed

In a way I'm kind of excited that he IS just being referred to as "Rival" right now - after all it hasn't been since GS that we've actually had a new rival character that we could name (This is the assumption I'm making here) but agh

[ふねん1]

Hmm, so it's apparently called Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. And holy crap how much of Unova is frozen? You know what I wonder, can we still navigate that region?

[Garlyle]

[ふねん1]

Yes, I already saw the picture. Hence "holy crap".

[zeruna]

This is what we would call "Ice Age Revolved!"

Also, what will happen to the anime version of Pokemon, since it takes place 2 years later and I don't think Ash'll stay there for 2 whole years? He'll be at another region by that time.

Homika, the new Poison gym leader, is already going to be appearing in the anime around the time the games come out in Japan; so chances are that Best Wishes is going to have a fused plot of some sort.

[trancehime]

Hey dudes.

Have some more Pokemon information from Filb, there are videos that captured Pokemon Smash's coverage on Black and White 2, in case you missed watching it yesterday (I did). You can, in fact, name your rival in this one, who is your next-door neighbour. He seems to be more hot-blooded compared to previous generations, akin to Gary back in RBY, except more polite. You actually live in a fairly urbanized town compared to previous gens as well. Starters are, to the surprise of nobody, the same as in BW. Animated trainer sprites, and added Pokemon back-sprite animations.
