Gen 5 rumor mill thread

I support HM removal.

Make an HM move possible after a badge and have them be used by Pokemon depending on their type.
- Cut: Grass, Normal, Bug, Poison, Dark
- Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool, Dive: Water, Dragon, Ice
- Strength, Rock Smash: Rock, Steel, Ground, Fighting
- Flash: Electric, Psychic, Fire
- Fly: Flying, Ghost

A system like that.

id say make ghosts learn flash, minus Drifloon/drifblim, and add some dragons to the fly-list. also, normal to strength, as im sure Snorlax can learn a sh'itton of HM's.
i think it'd be better to go by each pokemon, because nidoqueen (poison/ground) can learn surf.

First of all. A Dark type Gym Leader. There hasn't been one in any Gen. Next of all, a FEMALE PROFESSOR. They did it in the anime, they could definitely do it to end the series. I think it'd be awesome that way.

with a version called "Black," its a sure thing there will be a dark-type gym. theres already been 2 E4 members that used the dark type.

It would be awesome if in this game you could explore a new region along with the previous four.

Or if this is the last, Start in kanto, play all the way through to sinnoh, then have an exclusive area where masters are and you learn the wise ways and beat red and all the other versions of you till you are the ultimate master.

that pomegranate would be EPIC

Reiterating a female profeessor. Also: I want more Pokemon culture. Ecruteak is the only thing we ever had that was close to Japanese culture. I want Shintoism in these games. A deep, deep connection with the forest they're gonna have. I hope the forest they'll have will be gigantic. I'd also like there to be a historical village in that forest.

Indeed.




Remember us, guys?

In my opinion, Karen was the much cooler Dark-type trainer than Sidney. I like how she had this kind of bad girl image in her character design and personality and how she talked about how she liked the "dark power" of Dark-type Pokemon. Now that's how you do a cool Dark-type trainer. But whenever I seem to get images of her, not much quality stuff ever turns up; and I might just have to blame that on character design or something. Sidney gets even less love when I try to find art of him. (Kudos to the person who can provide me Sidney and Karen artwork in the Pokemon fanart thread, in that case.) I'd really like to see an incredibly hardcore, awesome Dark-trainer who seems a bit evil or has some sort of "bad boy" or "bad girl" personality as a Dark-type gym leader.

And female professor idea? Awesome idea.

Also: I'm curious who the new syndicate in this game is. I wish it were Team Rocket yet again, but that's just wishful thinking.

honestly, id love to see something akin to Whitney in a dark gym leader. cute, innocent, lovable, loli-bait; yet dark and sinister, with a twisted heart and a ruthless strategy.

An evolution past '3rd stage'.

How would I go about this 5th Gen?

-Stick with 8 Gym Battles like 1st, 3rd, and 4th Gen. Chances are if they do 16 again they'll skim on the 8 from a previous region and it'll have little going on and can be cleared quick.
-Enhanced Story. They can keep the formula, but there needs to be some more depth to the story.
-Fleshed out characters. What I mean is, like meeting all the Gym Leaders, them having some definite personalities and maybe even a side-quests involving each of them before the Gym Battle or at least right after it.
-The Syndicate. The Grunts can keep uniforms shared between them, but the Admins needs to have some more creative designs. Also deeper/better story with the Syndicate. That's probably the reason why I liked Colosseum so much. The Admins had some creative designs. (Their leader should be the female this time for the gender twist)
-Another Double Battle Gym (Can't say Elite Four as that would put 5 people in the Elite Four)
-Battle Frontier with some original facilities aside from the Battle Tower. Battle Tower is a Staple.
-Meeting all of the Elite Four along the way and getting to know each of them. Would make it better if this happened with Gym Leaders and other important character so that it would be hard to tell who is at the End of the game
-Rival personality mixing Blue and Silver, the two best rivals.

EDIT: No trying to stick evolutions/baby forms on everything from previous generations.

Oh, and I need to mention.. the return of Team Rocket, and the end of Team Rocket, Team Magma, etc etc etc. Meaning, you fight all of them at some point in the story. Would be interesting. Hoping to go to Orange Islands and sh`t too, but I don't see that happening. I'd like to fight Drake (@Orange Isle) as well as Lance from Elite Four, kthxbai

There might be a "light" type, hence the names. I wouldn't put it past Nintendo. That way, they could milk out another generation or so.

I see no reason to add another type.

Steel and Dark types were really added along with better Bug moves in 2nd Gen to balance out the retarded Psychics who were broken.

AKA high speed Alakazam with STAB'd Psychic ;~;

What if for the HM's there was a side panel of moves set aside just for HM's allowing maybe a maximum of 2 HM moves per pokemon and a set of there 4 normal moves? :f6: Just a thought..

Edit: My fave bad guys are Team Rocket.. they should bring them back again D:

they should allow you to steal other peoples pokemon.

How 'bout at least two save files?

How about a human like Pokemon with 5 branches of evolution via contest types with both gender forms each.

Example: Normal type evolves into a Fire and Fighting type with max Coolness, Water and Ice type with max Beauty, Psychic and Electric type with max Cuteness, Ground and Rock type with max Toughness, or Grass and Bug (can't think of any other type for a Pokemon with max Smartness).

Contests suck and should never be reintroduced.

i liked them; they required a lot of luck. =x
what id like to see brought back was something from R/S/E, where youre in a double battle with someone else, and you have 3 pokes, and YOU CAN SEE YOUR PARTNERS POKEMON.

Or if this is the last, Start in kanto, play all the way through to sinnoh, then have an exclusive area where masters are and you learn the wise ways and beat red and all the other versions of you till you are the ultimate master.

I second this notion.

How about....17. One for each type. Then as you enter the elite four, theres no common denominator, IE, no type attribute to each of the four[five]. So you'd have to be a master of combinations of types, etc, to beat them.
-Enhanced Story. They can keep the formula, but there needs to be some more depth to the story.
-Fleshed out characters. What I mean is, like meeting all the Gym Leaders, them having some definite personalities and maybe even a side-quests involving each of them before the Gym Battle or at least right after it.
This would be the most incredible thing, you almost always, if not always, know the champion, but no one else, and the Champion Battle is just funner since you know who you're fighting.. this would be great.
-The Syndicate. The Grunts can keep uniforms shared between them, but the Admins needs to have some more creative designs. Also deeper/better story with the Syndicate. That's probably the reason why I liked Colosseum so much. The Admins had some creative designs. (Their leader should be the female this time for the gender twist)
This.

2 sets of double battles?, simese twins?
-Battle Frontier with some original facilities aside from the Battle Tower. Battle Tower is a Staple.

You already said this
-Rival personality mixing Blue and Silver, the two best rivals.
Bipolar rival, interesting.

Yeah...this.

There's this Rocket Grunt in HG/SS that talks about starting Team Rocket in his own country. Maybe we'll fight them again this time?

Also, if there would be a new region, it would be either north of Kanto or south-west of Johto. I hope south-west of Johto, seeing as we've already been to a bit of that area before (route 47 and 48). Hoenn could even be the second region. And I want more route 47 style music.

I hope that there will be more new Pokémon, and not just (pre-)evolutions of older ones.

I want the new gadget to have a phone, but that the VS.seeker is also there. Rematches by phone suck if you want to train.
One of the main problems I had in Soul Silver was that right before the Elite 4, the only good Pokémon to train on are Rock or Ground types(and other random things you find at Victory Road). Of course there's still Pokémon at earlier routes, but those won't get you past a certain point. So I'd like to see good training spots for every attack type for certain levels (spots for Lv.20~30 Pokémon, 40~50, and maybe other levels too).
