I still want to knee Bianca in the face for those ambushes.

The point is that although there are still holes to be filled, now feels like the right time for a new type.

It does Extra Damage to the Pokemon if they are Flying, have Levitate, or use Magnet Rise, and then they become vulnerable to Ground Pokemon (but don't lose their Flying-type, I assume), but it doesn't matter what move they use...
Oh, but it CAN hit them if they're using Fly or Bounce, so it's like Swift in that regard.

3rd version leading into B/W sequel confirmed?!
It'd be funny if, in the 3rd version (if this isn't already the case), they animate it so the rock goes up into the air, makes the hit sound, and suddenly the airborne Pokemon comes crashing downWatch Da Birdie said:
Nah. Cheren is the hardcore gamer type, Bianca is the young child who's experiencing Pokemon for the first time or is playing just because it's fun. Each one is an expression of a different part of the audience. One wants to win, and always looks for things to make him stronger, the other is in it for the fun, win or lose.Teknoman said:
How about an abnormal type?Andrex said:
TheOGB said:
Maybe,
Cheren's always going on about how being the strongest is the only thing that matters, getting more power, etc. Even seems more than a little ticked off at the fact that he keeps losing against you.
Watch Da Birdie said:
Cool, guess i'll keep that, and see how it plays out before trying stone edge.
Crunched said:
Thats possible too. I guess I never looked at it like that (seems similar to something we were talking about in the Gears 3 beta topic).

I definitely feel like they're setting up for a direct sequel a la GS...
Especially with Team Plasma...N flies away, and Looker tells you he was spotted, and Gechis escapes with the Shadow Triad...
Doesn't seem like stuff that'd be settled in Version 3, imo, instead I imagine they'll just drop more hints about where they went setting up Gen VI...
Speaking of the Shadow Triad, the popular theory is that they're the Strighton Brothers (who don't appear in the Castle, although Bianca claims it was because they couldn't make it in time), but the part where they give you the DPt Legendary items and tell you Gechis saved them makes me wonder if they're perhaps the Galactic Admins from DPt, Mars, Venus, and Saturn?

it's the other way around for me.TheOGB said:
I like Cheren's battle with "not-the-main-character syndrome", seeing someone he knows personally have battling come so naturally to them and reach such dizzying heights while he struggles to work out who he is. I can really see Cheren becoming a Champion in a future game and making big speeches about goals in life.
It makes a nice contrast toAndrex Barry, who only really got a far as he did because he had a strong rival motivating him.
Bianca just annoys me. She makes a big fuss at Nimbasa city about being tough and wanting to see the world, but then spend the rest of the story watching The PC/Cheren have all the adventures. And post-game, she goes right back to the lab.

Don't know what the story is over in the Gears thread, but I don't think Cheren is malicious in any way. He's all about getting stronger, but he's not about putting other people down. He actually seems to appreciate seeing you win, because he can learn from that.Teknoman said:
Maybe we're looking too much into it, haha.
Just beat the game! Credits rolling!
Goddamn, how amazing! Yes, superior to Red/Blue, rather than simply better. (That is perfectly understandable, don't be "ummm"ing that!)
And the best thing is, the game is just beginning.
Cutscene heaven!
All the things GameFreak achieved with the DS engine, I cannot wait to see their 3DS work.
Bring on post-game!

That said, I was disappointed (but had completely expected) the twist that Team Plasma was being all "save teh Pokémon!" simply as a guise to rule the world. GameFreak aren't strong enough storytellers to actually deal with the issues they raise, it seems. Oh well!

We'll find out in the anime, at least.
That said, was anyone surprised at even the concept of the shadow triad? They seemed a bit out of place even though they were indeed cool.
If Cilan suddenly disappears whenever N/the shadow triad show up or not, then that solves that.

I really want to like Vanillite but the guy is just really sucking right now 
I'll hold out hope that he gets much better when he evolves.

Nope, not until his final form. My Vanillish is level 42 and still has under 100 HP :/Obsessed said:I really want to like Vanillite but the guy is just really sucking right now

I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm not sure if anything changes (I'm at Victory Road), but I agree they are in a weird place. They appear out of nowhere and don't do anything but shuffle you around. Are they meant to be assassins or what?Andrex said:
They don't seem to use Pokemon, which is extra weird.

Well I'll probably be able to deal with it until then.
Also has anyone used Joltik? I love it, but it is a bug Pokemon which tend to really suck late game unless they have some gimmick (Kriketune + Perish Song = So good against E4 in D/P).

Yeah, that's how I see it too.Gravijah said:
I think the Shadow Traid being the brothers is unlikely, as they seem pretty cool, plus good guys being the bad guys is kind of played out.
Holy Order Sol said:
I dunno...some of them seem like they did believe in the plan. One Grunt in particular I find to be interesting...he notices that a Patrat becomes friendly towards him and he doesn't want to see it go.
Plus, I found Ghechis to be rather deep in the post-game...the Seven Sages really seemed to like him, and the Shadow Triad mentions how he saved their life. Villain or not, I found him to a more interesting character than N since his followers seem really loyal to him, despite the fact he appears very evil to the player.

Dammit GAF, I lost my DS charger. I am stuck on the first gym right now
Haha wow, seems pretty awesome no matter what way you look at itCrunched said:

I was actually pretty surprised by that, I meanAndrex said:That said, was anyone surprised at even the concept of? *They'rethe shadow triaddammitninjas
you think it's just N, and the sages, and all that other bullshit, and then you get abducted by fucking ninjas?! Did GF seriously just use the Rule of Cool?! Now that's just absurd.
That's also why I think there may be some kind of sequel. This... the structure of Team Plasma, the setting-up and development of the characters... all of it is getting far too grand for just one adventure.
I HONESTLY DON'T BELIEVE, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THAT GAMEFREAK WOULD USE THE RULE OF COOL AND INSERT NINJAS JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.
Now I really wanna know how deep the rabbit hole goes.
