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. -

lower shiny ratio!
So I checked out pokebeach, and yes more rumors. However WPM seems to believe that there may be some truth to them as they were given to him by an old Zelda game maker who has released info about other games before that turned out to be true. So here they are... ( Oh and I copied this all from pokebeach, so the original poster's comments are in it as well).
There will be 157 new Pokemon, bringing the total amount to 650.
Seems as though we will be getting a lot of new pokemon, and a lack of old ones similar to Hoenn.
Like how Giratina compliments Dialga and Palkia, a large, green snake will accompany Reshiram and Zekrom.
Well if this is true, it will interesting to see how much different it will be from Tsutaaja's final evo.
Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros.
I hope so! Please let there be one, normal/fighting? Would def. be on my team.
In previous games, either through moves or through abilities, players were able to alter the weather conditions of the battle field to boost certain types. For example, Groudon's Drought summons sunlight, which boosts Fire-type moves by 50%. In Black and White, players will be able to collect certain items that alter the weather conditions of the battle field. Approximately twenty of these items will affect the weather conditions so that they will boost certain types (kind of like Stadium cards in the TCG?), with some types getting added bonuses depending on the item. As a side note, in today's CoroCoro scans, there was a screenshot showing a new weather indicator (we overlooked it), which could give credence to this claim.
One example will be setting up a Poison Field, which causes all Poison-type attacks to gain 30% accuracy, Sludge Bomb to have a 100% poison rate, and the effects of Toxic Spikes' poison to have an immediate effect.
Interesting, but I rarely use items, so I wonder how useful they would actually be. But maybe I would find them useful when I play the games.
Black and white, good versus evil, and yin and yang are going to play a major part in the plot. However, unlike previous Pokemon games, the decisions and choices you make will "influence" the plot of the game. If you make "good" choices, you might get certain help or items, whereas "bad" choices could have negative effects. The point is that the plot will not be as cut-and-dry as previous games, changing depending on the player's actions.
I think this is what people really wanted to see. A much more RPG-like game. Deciding whether you become a true trainer, protecting pokemon, maybe becominga gym leader, or falling of the right path, choosing to work for the "evil" team. If anything like this were to be included in the game I would be super happy.
So what does everyone else think? Not saying any of this is true though. Just mindless speculation. lol

Goodbye... DP
Anyone check Pokebeach? Interesting rumors... Not so fond of the items for the field abilities, if thats implemented into Wifi... that will change the metagame dramatically...
well if all of this is true ...we are looking at a game that certainly will be a MEGA hit and of course will change the way we play pokemon

I actually hope these end up being hold items, if they're real. I like the possibility of 157 new Pokémon. That would make Generation 5 the largest generation yet. Everything else is cool, but I like the decision idea. I just hope it doesn't affect battle.

I also like the amount of new pokemon, if this is true of course. If there truly is a way choose between good/bad it will def. play a big part in the game. Definantly not as big as say Infamous for the PS3, but it should be important.
I could see choosing good answers resulting in:
1.Pokemon Fan club hears of you and spreads the word of your status as one of the regions best trainers.
2. Have the chance to become a gym leader
3. Become a E4 member?
the last one seems a bit too big of a jump. But considering you do become a champion in the end, maybe there could be a way of others challenging you for your job so the game doesn't dull out. As said, questionable.
for the bad answers,
1. The news of your bad actions spreads throughout the region
2. maybe become part of the evil organization?
these would seem the most logical choices but even then it would greatly change the pokemon universe.
Anyone else have any ideas to what could occur form the good/bad choices?

Assuming these rumors are true:
@ 157 new Pokemon additions: Totally awesome. That just means more potential for new favorites.
@ "Large green snake" to compliment Reshiram and Zekrom: Yeah it's not like Rayquaza is a huge green serpentine box legend or anything. Wtg.
@ Minotauros: LOVE this, personally. Ideally, I'd want Tauros to shed the normal typing and evolve into a dark/fighting sweeper (unlikely, but awesome). I could totally see this being amazing.
@ Weather items: Hmm. I'm skeptical about this, not sure if I like the idea so much yet. It all seems excessive to me, but I'd have to experience it in-game to know how it fits in.
@ Morality system: ...Well I'll be damned. I never thought Pokemon would adopt something like this. Of course, there are many different ways you could pull this off. This really is huge, though...It absolutely has the potential to make or break the game in my opinion, depending on how it works. It can't be anything too complicated, of course. I'm extremely intrigued about the mechanics of it all.
Again, these will be my reactions if the rumors are actually true. Til then...grain of salt. That is all.

K, I know this is noobish, but where's the proper place to speculate these new Pokemon's english names?...

You're in it. This is the "Pokemon Black and White Speculation/Wishlist" thread, after all.

Oh okay cool thanks, just makin sure before I got flamed.
K so I'm thinkin Chiramii ~ Chilami, since its Chinchila and like serebii turned into celebi, that makes since.
Then Meguroku I think'll be Megcrock or Mecrock or Megrock, I favor the first.
Then Zorua = Zorua, Zoroark = Zoroark, pretty sure.
Munna, maybe Moona? Dreams, sleep, nicht, moon? Those flowers are just weird though.
Gear = Gear, I mean, yea
Oh and Snivy for Tsutaaja seems likely i guess.
Prof. Arargi, which means Yew right, will be Prof. Yew.
Any ideas for Pokabu, Mijumaru (besides Wotter), Mamepato, Shimama, or Hihidaruma? I'd sure like to hear any.

Sorry, but no. Those are not the English names. Those are the Romanji names.
Sometimes the Romanji and english are the same. Example: Reshiram and Zekron.
Sometimes they're similar. Example: Pikachu's romanji name is Pikachuu.
Sometimes they're absolutely NOTHING alike. Example: Clefairy's romanji name is Pippi.
He's just guessing. But he did word it strangely, I'll give you that.

Yea, sorry, i realize I shouldn't say probably, I'm just too tired to reword it all right.
As for arargi meaning Yew, that could be true, one of my friends had just said it meant Lily, he probably just got it from those earlier rumors. I'll go ahead and change that.

That's just a mere coincidence. I'm positive that GameFreak didn't plan that far ahead.
Ok, seriously and first of all, Game freak needs to do more quality pokemon, what the hell with the new fire ape, it seems like a joke alongside infernape, the "psychic" pink ball (with flower patterns), and the gears bros. i really like the franchise but COME ON! give us more quality! not just the graphics. Along with that, i would also like:
* A good evolution for all they dont have like Lapras, Tauros, etc
* A more complex storyline with "real" evil villains
* More combination types, like rotom. It would be nice to see one fire/psychic, or grass/dragon, another water/steel, etc
* Another quest after the E4
* A grass type E4, preferentially MALE! (YEAH, IM A GRASS TYPE)
* One of the things i liked in the 4gen was the ambiental stuff, i would like to see more of that in 5gen
* New alternate evolutions, like gallade
* Customizable character...only the female relates with the anime, and always the same, seriously, i dont want the penguin, squirrel, monkey team just because the chic
* Contests would be greater if they include battles
* Yin-Yang is an excellent idea plot, PLEEAASE! take advantage of it
i dont know what else to say for now, at least the 2 legendaries look really awesome, i´d expected that the black one would be dragon/dark, and the white one dragon/psychic, for the yin-yang matter, but i think electric-fire is ok.

I wish...I REALLY REALLY wish Pikachu gets a new evo this generation...like a different brach evolution...it kinda used to be a starter before so it probably won't happen...but I can't stop thinking of how cool and amazing it would be if it did..I mean it's in every single generation...people like it (most)...and many pokemons have got pointless evolutions in the past generation...so why wouldn't pikachu...atleast it would be more useful than others...(I guess)
