Pokémon Black and White versions

I thought the guy character was supposed to have white hair and wear black, just like Sapphi- *BOOM!* Yuki/Brendan does, except part of his would be white instead of red.

I see a red head.

Side note - You know what I miss? Color coded game carts. It was pretty cool seeing people with red or blue game carts sticking out their gameboy. I thought they would at least bring that back for HG/SS for nostalgia purposes, but instead the cart for Soul Silver is pitch black. As in, it's darker than any other DS game I have, which are usually gray. Would have been nice if Black and White versions were actually black and white, but that's not going to happen. Especially since people would probably go more with white because it stands out more than black when inside a DS.

I would assume it didn't come back in HG/SS so the pokewalker could work, you'd either end up with a black card like we got, or a strip across the top for the IR signals and silver/gold cart, that'd be uglier than a fully dark card imo.

The female protagonist has a ponytail-styled hair.. +1 for me. Might get it. Another +1 for 3D surroundings. I'll gladly buy a DS to play that. Seriously. I can start getting into competitive 5th gen battling too, then make a competitive 5th gen team and play WiFi. Assuming all of you will play online by the time this comes out!

The other DS Pokemon games have 3D surroundings, but the camera usually focuses on overhead. If you hacked the game to tilt the camera yourself, you'd see something similar to what's in these screenshots.

Actually, I was thinking close to what the graphics of Olivine Lighthouse and the top of the condominiums in Saffron are like in HG/SS when I saw that; but you make a good point on the camera usually focusing overhead.

Yeah, the game itself sometimes tilts the camera in an angle where you can see the 3D mapping better.

I miss the pokes behind you. They are the reason I don't use the bike. Lol when bike shop guy was like, "Thanks for using bike!"

I know, but it didn't looked that great as the 5th gen game. Turned me off completely, truth be told. I'm pretty damn picky with my games.

Graphics aren't everything.

SUP MALE CHARACTER WITH A KICK ASS BACKWARDS HAT

SUP FEMALE CHARACTER WITH A HAT AND LOOKS HOT

ok the city looks disgusting but w/e

5TH OLOLOL

Yes, Mark. It must have been the amount of pixels I was complaining about.

Well you do bi'tch about graphics a lot. For instance, one of the reasons you own a PSP over the DS is because of graphics.

Whoop.

Not necessarily, I've played DS games on an emulator and on system before (when I borrowed it off of my friend). I may be biased, but I'm not blind. I even said I'll get a DS once 5th gen comes out because of it's free WiFi and capabilities. I have no idea why you're complaining. -shrug-

Have any flat-scanned pictures been released yet? The ones Ryanide posted (thanks though) are terrible.

I haven't seen any, I've been going on various websites back and forth today and haven't found any. @_@

No, so far all of the images seem to be from one guy who leaked them on 2chan. Just wait for Corocoro to come out, you'll have nice scans by the 15th.


By the way, here's an image someone posted of a hacked camera in Platinum



The 3D was better in HG/SS, and from the screenshots it seems they just polished the 3D a bit and tilted the camera. Keep in mind that these maps are made to be seen from a birds eye view, so it's obvious that they'll look strange when the camera is brought down.

The first CoroCoro magazine scans have been leaked on to the Internet, revealing game screenshots of Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. The magazine dedicated two pages to the news, both of which are below along with close-up images of some of their sections; click them for larger images.
The female character is wearing a pink and white hat, pink clothing, and has a ponytail; the male character is wearing blue clothing, has bushy hair, and is apparently wearing the same hat, but turned backwards. Judging by the screenshot where the clerk is talking to the female player in the Pokemon Center's Poke Mart, it appears that characters will now speak through speech bubbles. In terms of graphics, the battle system seems to have been overhauled, showing the full back sprite of Zoroark instead of just its upper body. Next to the screenshot where the male character is standing on the bridge, CoroCoro mentions that players will be able to ride a never-before-seen vehicle. There appears to be some sort of car next to the bridge, so perhaps it is the vehicle in question. Other than this blurb, CoroCoro does not reveal anything significant about the games other than the obvious fact that they will rely more heavily on 3D graphics, as seen in the various terrains.
It might just be the scans, but it looks like the nurse at the Pokemon Center has brown hair. Either Nurse Joy is trying a new style or she's simply not Nurse Joy, which could mean we are far, far away from the past four regions (where the Joys have not reproduced like bunnies and invaded). The PC inside the Pokemon Center seems pretty retro too - it uses a CRT monitor rather than the modern LCD screens the modern, real-world uses and that the past few games have used. Different time, different place? And then there's black and white, old "colors." I could be looking too much into all of this, though.
Pokemon Sunday will announce the games on their show tomorrow morning in Japan, which is actually this afternoon in U.S. time. When they do, we'll post all the information they reveal, so be sure to check back here later today!

That's all the images available online.

A comment under one screenshot hints that a new form of transportation will be available to players in these games.

Haven't seen much talk on it by you guys, so I thought it might be worth mentioning.

They've been speculating on a car. If the game is really based on Shikoku, it'd be cool to see rafting incorporated into the game- because Shikoku happens to have the best white-water rafting in Japan on the Yoshino River.

I'd be more inclined to believe it's going to be a PLANE. Bike, boat, train, ________?? plane seems to fit well.

What have they used so far? Bikes was the last thing I remember, since I played R/S/E. It'd be awesome to use a motorcycle, but I predict a car as well. >:
