• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Pokemon Black and White Confirmed Info Discussion [READ FIRST POST]

Well I have to say I am glad I was on Vacation for a few days and missed all the " WHEN R WE GETTING LEAKS!" "I WISH WE HAD THE LEAKS ALREADY! IM IMPATIANT!! ARGG!" talk.

But cool too see alot of new info..so here I go with some thoughts.

-The two new "rivals" are interesting. I like how the Professor gives you all three starters and you have to share the other two with your "friends".
- N seems like a much better villain. Based on the description your character seems to have known him before the events of the game (though maybe I am not reading that right). He also seems to become obsessed with his ideals of separating pokemon and people, much like Silver or Cyrus did with thier ideals. Overall I think he will make a good villain, though I wonder if the Team Plasma stuff was true.
-Triple battles seem to have more of a strategic purpose, which should make the gameplay of them more interesting. Perhaps that will shut up the people who whine about pokemon being the same old thing over and over, but I doubt it. Overall they seem alot better than I originally thought, not just something that was tacked on like Double Battles.
- The fact that there is version exclusive locations , I find really awesome. Also the fact that they are Black City and White Forest seems to suggest that this game will have a theme of Synthetic vs. Organic, or Humanity vs Pokemon as already hinted apon by N.

Now for pokemon..
- Kibago looks awesome. It seems to be the Pseudo legends first form, though that is confirmed yet. Not sure if Ononokusu is related or not, but it is possible.
-Koromori reminds me alot of a Kuribo from Yu-gi-oh. Don't misunderstand me, I didn't say they ripped it off, just saying it reminds me of one. I am interested in its evolutions if it has any.
-Minezumi is our new rodent. I am curious to see what it evolves into. Maybe a Normal/fire (only because of the eyes). Would I be mistaken in saying it is a Gopher or a Prairie Dog? It looks like one, the species of "lookout pokemon" suggests this too.
-Wargle is awesome looking. I don't think this evovles from Mamepato, thought that remains to be seen. Perhaps this gen will bring us more than one regional bird. Also that new move is epic.
-Rankurusu and Gochiiruzeru I'm glad we have names and types for but other than that I still think they are mediocre at best.
-Musharna is interesting. Debunks that Munna to Drowzee rumor. The smoke thing is interesting.

Other stuff-
-I LOVE that you can trade from the PC box. Awesome addition.
-The C-gear seems great from all the stuff revealed.
-The dream world sounds interesting and will probably take the place of the Pokeathalon.

All in all cool info. Cant wait for next months corocoro, by then it will be august and we should know alot more.

Trading is gonna be so much easier. having to trade 6 on 6 s-l-o-w-l-y was a pain (especially if you were trading more pokemon than 6!). Im excited for next months corocoro as well, hehe!
Also, about the C Gear, what does "InfraRed" mean? {seen on serebii BW news update}

I agree that Kibago truly looks awesome, I wonder what's it's evolutions would be like.

I didn't know how much more good news I can take, and we haven't even seen the Gym Leaders yet...

Im guessing gym leaders will be shown next month or in sept. They'll probably show a few but my question is is it still 8 gym leaders?

I presume that's gonna be released around the release date around september or so. Just like which pokemon from the previous gens will be in it.

So, this "N" guy. Is he good or bad? He wants to seperate humans from pokemon...

On one hand he sounds like someone who is against animal abuse like greenpeace, on another hand, he could steal everyone's pokemon and release them in the wild again...

He's a confusing character if you ask me, never seen anyone like him in the previous games.

IIRC in DP Gym leaders weren't revealed until the corocoro AFTER the game was released.

If we don't see them before the game is released I wouldn't be too surprised.

^But I think he's much better than the previous rival.. Now he has a purpose unlike the last one.

Ha, seperate humans from pokemon? It doesn't seem like he is a good person actually.

Well this game looks odd. When is it scheduled to release? I'm psyched for it.
Yeah yeah the new rival looks epic.
Steal Pokémon then release them? God hopes you can catch them again if he steals yours.
He is very confusing. What's his backstory? We'll find out soon enough.

For that reason alone I think he's a member from the bad team, maybe even the boss, but the site says that he challenges you to battles. I don't know how many, but bosses never battle that much, so.

BTW, which rival do you mean? Giovanni's son or Barry?

He's a bad guy. I think that he's more like a PETA member, though. I'm not that familiar with Greenpeace, but I know that PETA goes batshit over things like swatting at flies or keeping pets.

What's in the box?
Three new rivals, huh? Perhaps one of them will be waiting for us when we set foot in the Champion's room towards the end...

I wonder if there will be an evil team in this game. If this does happen, then I could see N joining to try to obtain the power he needs. This plot seems to be shaping up better than any generation beforehand. I also think that out of the 30+ pokemon revealed, there really haven't been any horrible ones yet. Of course that last statement in just my personal opinion.

What's in the box?
Double Post.

Another idea: teaming up with Cheren and Belle for triple battles, anyone? Perhaps this is one of the reasons we have two friendly rivals this go round.

At first I wasn't too sure about the whole triple battle function. I thought it was just going to be double battles with one more pokemon thrown on each trainers team, but it seems as if there's a lot more strategy involved in triple battles so it'll be interesting to try that function out.

Yeah, triple battles could be a big new thing. However, the way it's set up, I think they could move very slowly, and be frustrating at times. Thank goodness for the quicker speed of battle animations.
