Pokemon Black & White (Thread #3) - Seasons, Infinite-use TMs, Deru Powah, and More

Reading this thread has really opened my eyes. I'd never have believed people past the age of six watched the Pokemon anime.

On a serious note, can there just be an official Pokemon anime thread, or something?

Too bad Pokemon didn't have a good first season like some other shows back then...

Then it just wouldn't be nostalgia we could fall back on. Maybe some actual substance.
You don't need to hide it. The Digimon anime is better than Pokemon's. :lol

I don't understand the argument.

Early Pokemon had Gary Oak.

Recent Pokemon does not.

Therefore, the early shit was amazing.

Am I missing something?
 
*ahem*...Anyway, as 'revealed' today (yesterday), Battle Subway really is just a train version of Battle Tower, with Subway Master == Tower Tycoon.

Other than that, what are people's plans on the topic of spoiling oneself on the game?

Personally, I may peruse the full list of new pokes on release day, then promptly forget all about the main plot, gameplay, etc. of the games until next year. Hopefully I won't get spoiled on neat surprises (like the
GB Player
in HGSS).

Try to hold back on the anime bumps and mentioning the d-word, I don't enjoy staring at creepy Diglett pictures all the time -_-;

Gary was in two eps of DP but he didn't really do anything. :/ Real waste of a cameo.

Well, when you go back to Pokemon you realize it wasn't good. This isn't true for Batman:TAS, Animaniacs, and even some other anime from our childhood. That's the "argument" I guess.


EDIT: Maybe talking about the Pokemon show period in this thread shouldn't be allowed. Not only does it suck, it's simply not the game and not completely relevant to the thread.

Subway master? does he make me a sandwich if i beat him ?

I'm probably gonna end up doing the same thing i did with dp, look at the list of pokemon, decide a team based on the ones i think look good, end up forgetting most of the pokemon by the time the american version hits, try to make my team and then find out some of those pokemon i liked suck.

I think with how strongly the new anime seasons tie into the game, that there should definitely be some discussion of that allow. But as for nostalgia hoes, yeah, that kind of talk should probably be its own thread.

But has any detail from the Best Wishes anime enlightened us about the game?

NPCs and Pokemon routinely debut in the anime as well. It's a key component if we want to stay up to date on news.

I'd be in favour of an anime discussion thread were it not for the fact that it would be dead except for the sudden gym battle rush every six months.

It would be a really boring thread.

From what I read, it says that the new anime will be streamlined. More battles, less filler/fluff I guess?

You're too optimistic.

Diamond and Pearl took the four years of the entire gen too finish in a rush, even skipping one of Ash's league matches. They're gonna milk the fuck outta this gen, like always.

Well yeah, GameFreak's probably told them "don't BS so much in Isshu, we're planning 3DS Pokemans in three years."
 
Okay...to bring us back on topic.

Two more weeks I believe before Gen 5 comes to us! :D


I'm super excited for what's on these games. It seems as though secrets behind much of the games have been cleverly held tight for months, and i'm very relieved to know i'll have my (and everyone else's of course) questions answered.

I'm hoping they reveal Desukan before the games release but...signs are pointing to "no". :/

...Perhaps Desukan is one of those pokemon you catch mid-game, and GF wants to keep it a bit anonymous and reveal only early wild pokemon?

Anyways, with that, has anyone seen that new rumor on a "psychic dolphin"?

Sounds pretty cool.

Though it wasn't an official release, that character sheet from the anime was our first look at Kibago, fuzzy bat and two of the starter mid-evos.

Maybe just limit the anime discussion to the new stuff, since even though they appear in the game they are rarely connected.

Those silly Japanese, there is no 20th month.

Also gray > grey. CSS uses gray so I'm obviously right.

Kinda random interjection: The Safari Zone is the biggest fucking scam in the whole Pokemon Universe. Spend 500 pokebucks to maybe catch some rare pokemon in a "game" where my only weapons are mud and some bait? Seriously? I hope that it doesnt come back in B/W.
 
hope they let me purchase Stones at the Market.
I wanted a Poliwrath in Soul Silver. But fuck that bug contest. The stones you get are random. Still I got one on my first try I think, but that was after I beat the game.
