I hope we get news daily... but I guess today's news was the pronunciation of Xerneas and Yveltal.

On a related note - how will fainting animation work now? I can see trainer battles mimicking the Stadium faint animation, but what about wild Pokemon?

They will cough blood and die now.

Maybe they'll have them run off. It might be a bit much just to have them lying there unconcious

[Boss Doggie]

Oh right, this is a really good theory.

Infernape was based on Son Wukong and Emboar was based on Zhu Baije. Guess which fits the next Journey to the West character?

That's right - Froakie evolves into the kappa Sha Wujing!

 

[ffdgh]

....so It would be safe to guess fighting as a secondary type?

 

[StreetsAhead]

People were sure SURE Oshawott would evolve into a fighting type.

 

[Santiako]

He was a fucking samurai, he should have evolved into a fighting type.

 

[Splint]

Oh Japan, you and your... weirdness

btw I made a cute pokemon thread

lmao. God damn Digimon really turned to shit. This is a Digimon Parody for those that dont know.

Yes I know it's Digimon and wut - Xros Wars is awesome. There's even a parody with Victini X4.

....so It would be safe to guess fighting as a secondary type?

Could be dark or psychic, considering kappas.

 

[Exterminieren]

No Unova Route 10, in all its Laytony glory?

For shame.

 

[ffdgh]

xros wars was great to me.....third season withstanding ofcource.

They're gonna fall through the ground. Duh.

 

[Qurupeke]

More evidence for team awesome-fox.

Awesome! Team Fennekin!

 

[BowieZ]

I gotta say, this one's pretty cool.

 

[Wunder]

Should I try to play White 2 before Pokemon X comes out, if I can? I haven't played this current gen.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh and seems hyped has died down. Oh well it was fun.

The katakana of Xerneas and Yveltal haven't been released yet right?

 

[someguyinahat]

Do it. Do it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

If you want to play this current gen, get Black 1 or White 1.

 

[Wunder]

If you want to play this current gen, get Black 1 or White 1.

Any particular reason why? I thought White/Black 2 improved stuff, but I'm kind of assuming.

 

[Qurupeke]

Also, if there aren't many new Pokemon, then they confirm the theory about free DLC. I'd really like that, especially if they can add new places, sidequests, gyms etc. I think this could especially work with this "Real Play", if it's what I imagine it to be. Pokemon will be a Single Player MMO.

Noo don't let the hype die! D: I'm still a bit ill and if I don't have this thread to read I have no idea what to do in my free-time till I get better And to contribute, there is one thing about fainting wild Pokémon that never made sense to me outside of being a obvious and needed game-mechanic... Since people talked about Pokémon lying on the ground now after fainting, if that really happens why can't we catch them like this?

It would be the equivalent to Pokemon rape. With pokeballs. NO MEANS NO

 

[Qurupeke]

Meh.. And there's still many new details coming! CoroCoro will probably reveal the types and/or give some screens.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Any particular reason why? I thought White/Black 2 improved stuff, but I'm kind of assuming.

I think Black/White 1's approach to introducing the new generation is superior- the "new Pokemon only" concept is fantastic, and makes for an exciting game. B2W2 has a lot of content and decisions made assuming the player has played the "first" game, so playing it first probably makes a lot of the game seem a bit less interesting (or confusing, possibly).

B1W1 also have a brilliant finale that has to be experienced, whereas B2W2's finale is a bit more traditional.

 

[Kyzer]

is there a corocoro leaking today/tomorrow>?? hypeeee

 

[Grakl]

The hype just died down until a new announcement or when it gets closer to release.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Well that's one way to see it and you are right I guess though Ash did that all the time in the Anime... D:

Oh and I hope the new 3D world allows them to fix the eternal problem of Pokémon games that places like Panaero City only consist of like four houses even though I doubt it :/

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's more of an atmosphere thing. Gameplay-wise BW2 is superior but the atmosphere, setup, etc. is much better in 1.

 

[gosox333]

If you plan on playing both, or if the idea of an existent story in a Pokemon game sounds good to you, then go with B/W.

If you're just looking for the Pokemon experience, go with 2. It's content and Pokemon spread can't be topped.

 

[Ran rp]

How can Fennekin even hear anything through that flaming earwax?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Oh out of curiosity since I'm currently finishing White 1 and looking forward to play White 2, what makes White 1 better in these points?

 

[Wunder]

Thanks for the input guys!

 

[grimshawish]

Fennekin doesn't listen to you; you listen to Fennekin.

 

[Qurupeke]

Its a Psychic type, its body is just a vessel.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Super late! But screw your routes. Mt. Chimney is where its at.



If I HAVE to choose a Route, than Route 113 is the best.

 

[Grakl]

Weird.

 

[Meikiyou]

This is my Chespin Evolution with the head fixed.

He would use his spikes as fencing swords :c

Wait until you've finished it: then you'll know exactly what we mean.

 

[gosox333]

I wouldn't give the B/W story too much credit. It was without a doubt the best in the series, but it still wasn't really anything to write home about...

The story isn't anything great, no. It was the set-up, the surprise twist in the scenario, the subversion of your expectations. It was

having to actually fight a legendary Pokemon for the first time in the series.

For a long-time fan of the series, it was something different and incredibly memorable.

Spoiler

Jumping to the credits almost immediately after beating Ghetsis... so fucking good.

 

[Exterminieren]

is there a corocoro leaking today/tomorrow>?? hypeeee

Probably on Saturday.

Wouldn't expect much other than expansion of what we saw in the trailer. Classifaction, height and weight for all five, as well as Japanese names and art for Xerneas and Yveltal. Maybe a region name and protagonist art, too.

We'll get at least one new mascot Pokemon next month to tie in with the Genesect movie, too.

Might be a bit of a wait after that; we didn't start getting regular info about Black and White until June, and those games released in September.

I'll be really happy to learn the classifications, heights and weights of the revealed Pokemon. And if it's possible, typing and abilities. :3 The other are just added bonus.

And yeah, unfortunately probably by the end of January, there won't be many news...

 

[Meikiyou]

Nintendo what sega don't

 

[Exterminieren]

It is interesting to note that we know almost exactly the same details about X and Y now as we did about Black and White in May 2010.

I get the feeling we're in for a long information drought.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hopefully types too.

In the mean time...

HOT POKEMON ON WAILORD ACTION

We still need the movie Pokemon. Could that mean...

 

[Exterminieren]

I could see some Lucario-style mascot revealed next month, along with whatever that second secret Pokemon for the movie is, and then silence to descend until after that movie's out.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Indeed, it's about 5 months more time to spread info over. Plus, for BW they unveiled over 1/3 of the Pokemon in the end, officially, and I hope they won't go that route again.
