If you could play some kind of anti-hero in Black it would be the best Poke-gen ever.

That's because it's glitter.

So? They never made a remake of Yellow for Gen III. Granted, Yellow is RGB's retarded younger brother. Nevertheless, my point stands.

Zoroark is black. And a Dark type. I would bet money that White's mascot is white.

1)They didn't make a remake of Yellow because nobody likes Yellow. Nobody.

2) come on guys, the racism 'thing' should really have been left out of the thread. There isn't a goddamn thing that points to racism here.

3) Although, going with the "light" and "dark" thing, Gen 5.5 could be named "twilight".

Yes I went there.

Well I am just simply so pumped for another version of Pokemon!

I wonder if Nintendo will decide to really rock the boat and give us Surf before Cut!

Holy shit, they might even have rattata appear before bidoof! HOLY FUCK THE INNOVATION!!!!

1) I like Yellow. Come on, man, you get ALL THREE STARTERS PLUS PIKACHU. And the Pikachu following you was neat enough that they brought it AND the Pikachu walkers back. A game before its time, man.

2) Sorry, but we've all been burned before. And you know some idiot is going to try something with it.

3) No. And by the way EXTRA no. Rumor has it that Meyer is going to be writing a fifth book and putting an author surrogate into it. No, not Bella. As in she's actually going to have Stephanie Meyer in the book. The day Pokemon falls in with that is the day Nintendo is burned to the ground, either by Twilight fans for daring to take the name from their goddess or by everyone else for tarnishing the company with tripe.

One of these days I hope to be able to pick my own starting pokemon from a large list of non-legendaries and start my adventure my own way.

Can i be the one to say it...?

Not very excited.

Sure, "Black and white"... lame name. Quartz and Onix would be better, Hell, just give me Pokemon Plutonium and Pokemon Uranium and i'll shut up forever!

But the whole "BW" thing is just a throwback to the old days, it ties to the "reboot" image they want to pass with this title, so that's ok.

Now, so far, the only thing new i saw was "We tilted the camera a tad more, and now there is more 3d"... ok... so?

For "complete reboot" i'm expecting a major blowout with some serious changes to the battle mechanics and gameplay in general. I don't mean new features or tweaks, i mean actuall goddamn changes.

Also, no Backwards compatibility. You should get all pokemons with these titles, and everyone starts from scratch. That's what Reboot should mean. At most, you should be able to do something like, get items based on your pokemons from previous games or battle your character from previous games in tournaments.

PS: Also, now with the new forums, these icons on the left side, under our avvy's just remind me of Gym Badges for some god damn reason...

That'd be nice, but how much of this game have we seen? Maybe Nintendo really is doing a whole Reboot and they just want to save the fangasming for later. Probably not, of course, but it's nice to imagine.

My Charmander just cannot get past Misty.

Already debunked. The special Raikou, Entei, and Suicune with the special moves that Japanese Pokemon Movie goers are getting will unlock something in B/W, a la Movie Regigigas and Movie Arceus did for Plat and HG/SS respectively. So yeah, we're gonna get to move our Pokeymans up to Gen V from IV. Probably via Pal Park, but there IS some untapped potential via Time Capsule (how the original GSC traded with RBY). Again, it's not CONFIRMED, but given the release data for the special Beast Trio is out... it's implied.
