3 new Pokemon Black/White videos from JP Nintendo Channel

Is it possible that the fire starter's final evolution won't be fire/fighting? It's just so disappointing, because I was going to use him but I don't know if I will now since I used Chimchar in Platinum.
 
I skipped like 3 pages so I don't care how late I am or whatever, just getting everyone on the same page
well shit son, nevermind

now back to my cave until Pokemon Sunday
OHH SHIT AFROBULL AND MADFISH FUCK YER

Oh and
monkey trio is see no evil (blue), hear no evil (red), speak no evil (green). Also club, spade and heart, respectively. Electric yellow, arms-crossed 'do no evil' diamond monkey to appear later? I hope so.
 
Well, guess I was wrong on the coloring of Futachimaru. Oh well.

At least the way they are drawn in the scans makes them look better. Also, another Fire/Fighting starter? O_o
 
ok after years of fire starter i just can't now, I can't take another fire/fighting. Besides that i'm still liking what i'm seeing, most of the pokemon have been good.

Go for the grass starter, this is the first time since bayleef that Grass has been cool :D
 
I like the Gen II starters as well. Totodile was freaking awesome and it's better than Piplup (design-wise). Cyndaquil is freaking awesome and I don't understand the Typhlosion hate.

Chikorita's family is weird. I don't know what the fuck it's supposed to be but whatever. Gaf hates it and I don't really care about it.

It's just because I'm an apparent nostalgia whore since I don't like the stylized look of the new Pokemon. I can enjoy Gen V though because it's all new Pokemon rather than intermingling.
 
Totodile is awesome, it just had to put up with coming after the godly design of Squirtle. Chikorita and Cyndaquil are great too. The final evos are kinda meh though.

To me, the Gen 5 starters are probably gonna be like Gen 2's- they're gonna start off likable and get less so as they evolve.

Gen 1 starters fo' life

What does that have to do with anything? You didn't fight Plusle and Minun right at the start of RSE, did you? But they are still the mascots of double battles.

Maybe I should have said "symbolize" instead of demonstrate or something, to be clearer.
Those guys are the first Gym's leaders.
 
Even Chikorita I liked more than the turtwig line, chimchar wasn't that interesting for me (obviously one of the more useful starters tho due to movesets and such) and Piplup was the starter I liked most.

Ah well Gen 5 is definetly going to be interesting :lol
 
I love all the Pokemon shown so far. "Buffafro" (as I've nicknamed the afro buffalo) is amazing. :)

But the coffin takes the cake. Note in the scan's screenshots how at times the casket is sealed -- the funeral mask lowers over the eyes and the blue ribbons extend to cover the rest of its visage. I love it!

Other favorites to date include the Gothic Lolita Pokemon and the green body-within-a-body "amplification" Pokemon. Impeccable design. :)

In other news, the leaked Pokedex is growing. The new Grass-types, mushroom, etc, that were revealed in Coro Coro all match the leaked Pokedex to a T. I can't wait to see what's revealed next:

Keep checking the Tweets section of THIS TOPIC for further leaks...
 
I loved everything about Gen I and Gen II (I'll get to that Chikorita thing).

Gen III was pretty good but again once everything got stylized it also got overdesigned or weird. I hate the Torchic line. It's clever but I hate humanoid Pokemon so much. Mudkip's line is pretty good but Marshtomp's pretty freaking ugly and I didn't think those yellow pads were necessary for Swampert. Treecko's pretty weird looking (his eyes mostly) but he evolves into the awesome Grovyle. Sceptile though his tail just looks stupid.

Gen IV was pretty boring for me. I hate monkeys and having another Fire/Fighting was boring for me. Turtwig is like the epitome of this weird stylized Pokemon look for me (same thing with Salamence). It just looks ugly, smooth, and streamlined. Piplup's line was fun. Again it was overdesigned, imo, but it worked for me.

Eh.

Emonga said:
I never got the point of those. What was the idea behind Illumise and Volbeat being different species? They could've just made the male or female have different coloring.
They each have slightly different movesets. Also sexual dimorphism
that means male and female of the same species have different physical traits
wasn't introduced until gen 4. It's the same reason why there's Taurus and Miltank (despite each of them being introduced in different generations).


Boney said:
Hey guys my friend's uncle gave me a copy and I have to say this is the best pokemon ever!

how are you guys liking it?
ZOMG! TORRENT PLZ!
 
Green Scar said:
I'm a big fan of the entire Gen 4 starter lines actually, but Gen 1 is just pure brilliance. Except for Charmeleon being a different colour to its evo and prevo.
That was his Jersey Shore period when he got a tan.
 
Pappasman said:
Gen 1 and gen 4's starters(and their evos) are my favorite in the series.

Same. All three in both sets are fantastic all through their evolution lines.
 
Tadpole's final form

I just have a gut feeling Aloe will have the buffalo pokemon on her team. I just know it. :lol

Emonga said:
Grotle and Prinplup are hideous. Other than that, I agree.

I think all the first stage evolutions to the starters are ugly, like they're going through puberty. :lol

It would be true if you where talking about the second stage their really not as cute as their pre evo and not nearly as cool as what they will evolve into.

Except for the treecko line. Grovyle >>> Sceptile
 
If we're using the TCG terminology, then yes:

Base: Charmander
Stage 1: Charmeleon
Stage 2: Charizard

nono I meant the card. It's invinsible!
I knew a jerkface in my class who drew little dots all over a Victreebel, then said it's a special Victreebel who is sick and super rare and other such bullshit.

My sister fell for it and traded with him. I was so angry.
