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

[sevlag]

Does Wooguru have an ultimate attack based on unfounded assumptions the the opponent has WMD's, therefore calling in the full force of the American military to pillage and destroy the entire enemies country?

No seriously, I'm not even going to consider this game. There are only 151 Pokemon in my universe and that shall never change!

252 in mine, only because G & S were good too

[thehoodedsmack]

Personally I still consider all Pokemon species canonical, as I find that every generation produces a few that I like. It needs stricter regulation, though, as there's been far too great of a stupid/awesome ratio in the latest generations.

Also, since this is the Pokemon world's America, I hope we get to see an appearance by Lt. Surge!

I'll accept them all as long as the next ones don't make me want to vomit from stereotyping. i like the Legendaries though; most of them look badass.

Stupidest pokemon. It is called spoink. It is a psychic type you find in ruby/sapphire. It is literally a pig with a spring in its butt.

Anyone got a stupider one?

[Cortexian]

"Stupidest" and "Stupider" are not words, so no I don't because I don't know what you mean?

[Heathen]

Basically a mexican


Wtf


But dont think the first gen didnt have stupid ones

[Lateksi]

I find Exeggutor or whatever funny and stupid (I like it) but the others are just stupid (I don't like them).

[DarkHalo003]

Well the problem with Gen3 is that there are so many useless Pokemon that the only point to have them is to have variety. I know people have different tastes, but some of these things are just there for variety, like Luvdisc (heart) and Ludicolo (Mexican). On the other hand, Pokemon like Absol and Sceptile bring out some ups in Gen3. Yet, at the same time, Gen3 also has a lot of Pokemon that are strong and useful, but annoying as hell to fight (Claydol and Milotic).

He has the unique idea to set Pokémon free from people. He's looking for the power to bring his idea to fruition
• Makomo will give you the C Gear after you assist her with a task

[TeeKup]

I swear to god unless "Gear" has a badass evolution I will entirely condemn this game. There was hope with the Eagle based pokemon but I'm still very skeptical.

I will not tolerate the ruination of the Steel types. I'm still irritated at Jirachi and Mawile. Just what in fucks sake gives ANY hint that either of them are fucking Steel...LOOK AT THEM.



These are fucking proper Steel pokemon. Ones that will fuck you up 10 ways from sunday if you so much as look at them wrong.
