Pokémon Black and White versions

Results in the table are Base Stat. With a constant HP, more EVs and IVs mean lower base stat.

Ah, that makes sense - working backwards to determine base stat. I misread it, was originally thinking you were using the base to determine max value.

"If you're gonna call bullpomegranate, post a link to prove it."

I'm vouching what Tobias is saying. But....I can't find the link.

They ran out of colors, anyways.

I personally love everything B/W gives out. The constant moving seems a bit exaggerated, but the NPCs actually constantly move...

Actually, that grass poke looks really cool. I want the final evolutions to give my final word on which one i'd use. Will this game be coming out for 3ds or the regular ds? Anyone know exactly what the starter's types are?

Regular DS.
and besids the regular grass/fire/water, no.

Be liking the in-battle movement. The people walking in the city move insanely fast.

I wonder if for some physical attacks, the Pokemon will actually move towards the opponent (Punches, Tackles, etc.).

Dittoing previous posts by Sarah and Spidey. I love the addition of constant movement to both Pokemon during battles and NPCs, as well as the camera focus on the entire Pokemon when it attacks and the new dimensionality towards the attack (look specifically at Raikou launching a Sp. ATT at Zoroark). However, I agree with Spidey in that the battle flow (attack > hit animation > HP reduction/status effect > battle message) in the home console systems is nice, and that it would be great to see that come to the handheld, but like she said as well, it appears they are somewhat working on that from what we can tell.

Hopefully more testing and work is done on such systems before the games are finally released, and thus I think for the most part, guys, it's important to keep in mind that if you want to call BS or nitpick some excruciatingly specific detail, it's essentially pointless, since the games aren't finished yet. What's important NOW is to look at the ideas behind what we're seeing in general (ie. constantly moving Pokemon animations during battles, not HOW the flash is designed) and whether or not we like them, as well as the concepts that are already set in stone (ex. it's okay to nitpick the starter sprites since those are official). You don't always have to jump the gun and become an expert at every little thing for something when it's first announced, because then you waste all this time for nothing when they change it around (ex. bitching about Evan animations, cast speed, and damage when all we saw were videos coming out of KMST, and then they released an upgrade patch).

Random thought: I don't think we'll ever see the HP bar draining during the attack animation as long as they keep making said bars disappear during the attack animations. Also, I was initially disappointed that the battlefield was as blank as ever, until I realized that, what would be the point of filling in all of that blank space when probably around half of the attacks are going use their own backgrounds anyways?

Simple. HP bars move down to the second screen while the attacks happen. Not like the 2nd screen is used for anything during the attacks anyway. It just shows a static image of a Pokeball.

Yo, any word on the statement of no HMs validity?

If someone gives me a reputable source for that text, then it's real. Otherwise someone just pulled Japanese text out their ass and translated it, or found it on some blog or some crap.

One of them is a type of seaweed, makes sense for otters. A lot of them have to do with clams, seaweed, etc.

Lots about trash, carelessly (pigs are commonly fed garbage? I dunno on this one)

Can't find anything for tsutarja[/COLOR]

Fire starter: Already cute for being a pig with bunny ears. I'd place it along Charmander and Cyndaquil for cuteness points.
Grass starter: So smug. Sooooo smug.
Water Starter: WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN




This sums up my feelings for the water starter:
