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

[CodeBrain]

A couple of hours ago, the official website updated with the first details of the 5th generation Pokémon games due for release on the Nintendo DS this Autumn/Fall. These games are to be shown in CoroCoro and Pokémon Sunday and are known as Pokémon Black (ポケットモンスターブラック) and Pokémon White (ポケットモンスターホワイト ). Further details about these games are not yet known but we will have them as soonas they are out

So....with the announcement of the 5th generation, what do you think of this?


I personally enjoy any Pokemon game (as I am fan obviously) so I think it would be a great game.

The only thing some people might have issues with is, the names and pokemon themselves. As of right now, with 4 generations counted together (R/B/Y, G/S/C, R/S/E, and D/P/P) we have 493 Pokemon. Some people might think this is big enough as is, and Nintendo usually adds around 151-200 new ones, so....yeah.


The names are of course placeholder and "before launch" titles, but I believe some people might complain of these names. I personally think that its akin to the 1st generation names.


So, what are your guy's thoughts about this?

if you don't buy black you are racist

The names are better than anything so far so I have high expectasions.

I want a real 3D game this time, though.

Why would they be place-holders if they're actually announcing them?

They're no worse than Pearl.

This is stupid. They just keep milking this series out. How much more satisfying can Pokemon possibly get? It's the same sort of thing over and over again. And people keep buying it like all the Mario games. Jesus Christ. When are they gonna learn it's mostly the same thing?!

[CN3089]

Man, it's almost as if people enjoy playing the games, or something

[thehoodedsmack]

Well, hopefully they manage to pump out one or two decent new Pokemon this time. I wasn't a fan of any of the 4th gen. ones.

Except there's a lot of kids out there who are growing up with the new pokemon. And think it IS THE GREATEST EVAR!!!11 (Bitches don't know 'bout my Misty and Brock.)

And I agree; it's getting milked to death.

Heh, I remember when red and blue came out, I was tripping balls. (c wat i did thar)

Mario and Pokemon are successful because they keep to their same working formula. When you deviate from it you get Sonic, or Mega Man. Why do you think they're both going back to their old formula? Because it works.

Hell, the new Pokemon games ARE the same as the old ones, just with a ton of awesome new stuff thrown in.

Then again, I'm a DDR player/fan.... they've really changed that game over the past decade haha. It's when they change big things that it throws people off. New little things add to the experience.

tl;dr? You're on a Halo forum, Halo's evolved just as much as pokemon over the years. You still love Halo. (I don't give a fuck if you <3 Halo or not, it's an example)
