Nintendo of Japan Announces Pokemon Black/White, also Speculation Thread

Those are the shittest starter evo's in the history of pokemon. Jesus Christ I was hoping they could redeem themselves but holey fuck they're noisy as hell :gonk:

Also, we've had three fire and fighting type evolutions for the past three generations. The redundancy might keep me away aside from the ugliness of the fire starter.

Some people are saying that the Fire-type starter may be a faked scan, as a lot of people are backing support for alleged evidence of Photoshopping that has surfaced. The Pokemon Company has neither denied nor validated the so-called "leaked evolutions".

Also, DarkHalo, that armored Dragon Pokemon is a pure Dragon-type.

I watched Pokemon Sunday on TVTokyo yesterday. It confirmed the pokemon on the RIGHT side of this page:

It did not address the starter evolutions, which means they're making you wait and buy it to find out.

I normally take a water type, but this time, I am pretty sure I am gonna roll with Firepig. And Buffafro.

dude, now is not the time to stray from the water types. The otter pokemon is the only starter that doesn't look silly. Besides, firepig looks just like grumppig

Why has no one pointed out little puppy growlithe there!

I think people are more preoccupied with the right side to care as of now. Also, I think the right side's Dragon is actually the evolved form of that Tusk Dragon pokemon that was one of the first to be released.

Amazon.com reports that Pokemon Black and White is now shipping. Expect a steady stream of new information as people get hold of their games.

Quoting the truth, as seen here on my play-asia order:

My opinion on the new Pokemon! :iamafag:

In my opinion, the majority of these Pokemon, even some of the ones that I thought might be cool, are complete shit. This is an awful set of new Pokemon, I swear to god whoever designed these are retarded. Fuck Gen. V, Pokemon is dead. :maddowns:

Agreeing with you on this post. There are a few that look worthwhile to have... but an ICE CREAM CONE? A PILE OF GARBAGE?! REALLY?!

When I saw the ice cream cone pokemon for the first time, I thought it was a joke. Now that I see it is real..... I am starting to worry about humanity. More than that, I am noticing a distinct lack of pure rock type pokemon. I guess I'll end up going with Rhydon again or something. It's just disappointing.

This is going to be my team, if I were to go off the new pokemon alone:

POST YOUR PARTY EVERYONE!!! :iamafag:

The original poketmonsters had simplicity. These are over-detailed pieces of garbage. And I lol'ed at the ice cream cone. Where's the hamburger?

Hell yeah I'm mad. These are so disappointing. I'm not saying they're all terrible; there are a few good ones. But the majority are just awful.

Unrelated to Pokemon Black/White, but I thought it was worth sharing.

I have not played a pokemon game since pokemon gold. I thought that with gold, the magic of blue version had been lost, and I was completely uninterested.

For some stupid reason, at the advent of the Nintendo Wii, I was so excited for pokemon battle revolution that I bought Pokemon Diamond for DS. The sad thing is, I didn't own a DS. I just used a friend's DS and Action Replay to get the pokemon I wanted.

BUT NOT TODAY. :D

Today I went to my local mom-and-pop game store and bought a DSi. And playing pokemon diamond for the first time makes me realize what I was missing out on all these years. FULL COLOUR, DECENT SPRITES AND SOUNDS. Holy crap. Where was I all that time?


PS: Uh.... I noticed on the Sinnoh pokedex that there's only 151 pokemon.... does that mean that I don't have to catch like 300+ pokemon per game (I genuinely thought you did)? Or does that mean that I can't get charmander, or squirtle, or lapras in these games? or can I get them through trading?

Help a sister out.

They split the Pokedex into Regional and National modes. Initially you can only find ones found in the Regional Pokedex, but once you get the upgrade to the National Pokedex, you can find others. Most you'll have to trade in, or transfer in, which requires the Gameboy Advanced versions (Gen 3 and Gen 1 Remakes). But since you bought the DSi, you won't be able to do that, since the DSi has no Gameboy Advanced slot.

So you'll probably have to rely on people who can trade you the Pokemon you want, buy HeartGold or SoulSilver, or you could get a Gameshark, or whatever the Gameshark equivalent is these days.

In response to the dilemma of Gen. V:

It's because you had Nintendo of Japan do an American image for an even popular RPG in Japan than in the U.S.A. There is so much flaw in having Nintendo Japan do what I think should be done by Nintendo America (if it really exists). But you know what they say, people bitch and people complain, so it's fluffy shit that people get instead of the awesome stuff people should see.

In response to Aerowyn:

I bought SoulSilver after my Gold wouldn't play anymore and I got horribly awful headaches when playing the originals due to their sounds (my hearing is very strange). I've played this game for about two months. The only thing that I hate about it is the lack of things to do after you've done everything (Except Global Link, which I don't care to do) and that you have to restart your game with all of your transfered Pokemon to have a new game instead of having another game slot (which is probably the only thing that these games have always annoyed me about).
