Pokémon Black and White versions

whatchu talkin 'bout?

The boy character just reminds me of Richie. O:
Pokemon following you was epic in SS, wanted it back.
And the new battle system needs some getting used to.

You haven't noticed the difference?

I don't see how the battle scene is going to significantly impact your gameplay. It's not a big deal, and it looks pretty cool so far.

Anyone noticed in the screenshot that Nurse Joy has brown/crimson hair now?

I don't like it.

only thing ive noticed is that with Plat/HG/SS, your pokemon moves when you send it out.

Compared to




???

You can finally see the whole back sprite of your Pokemon in Generation 5 while in battle.

Yeah, it sucks that the Pokemon following you feature was taken away.

i can see it now:
GO GIRATINA!

*GRAAAAAWWWWWWR*

GIRATINA, use HYPER BEAM

*GIRATINA is chargin his laz0r*
*GIRATINA is FIRIN HIS LAZ0R*



and you see the thing tilt its head back and FIRE ITS LAZ0R!

i have moderate hopes for this. OR, they will remain static and the animations happen normally. =|

NUUU I loved having my pokemon follow you it has been too long since that feature in Pokemon Yellow so they keep it for one game and take it away the next </3 No pokewalker.. D: I loved Pokemon Gold and Silver, they were games I played over and over.. Soul Silver I doubt I will because theres alot to keep exploring afterwards +_+

Mmm lets see what this shows over times.. at the moment I'm not overly impressed. In some ways it looks like it's going back to the D/P style.

My bet is on this. They do this thing for the conol games, where they have 3D frames to manipulate. They won't do this with 2D sprite animation. It's too much work to make it for every Pokemon. They don't even animate all of the Pokemon we have now to look fluid.

"I roar, I grow 2 times my size/wobble while moving my fingers!"

Some animations are nice. Some of them are just animations for the sake of giving the Pokemon an animation. So it comes off looking like every other animation. If there's an animation that actually stands out to you,. you'll most likely remember it. I can only really remember a handful of animations.

Things that seriously need to be in 5th gen

No need to waste moves on crappy HMs
Pokewalker compatible
Pokemon floowing you

they have a true and tested formula. All they have to do is remove HMs and keep the HGSS partner/pokewalker features, and it woul dbe an instant hit. But NOOO crappy battles cameras and no more partner pokemon. $10 says that HGSS will be the peak of pokemon.

Although I agree with Partner Pokemon and PokeWalker compatibility, I have to say this:
[size="3"]QQ. HMs are a sacrifice made of a Pokemon slot for accessibility. DEAL WITH IT.[/size] Stop whining about it.

no, PINEAPPLE YOU! ITS A STUPID CONCEPT AND THE GAME WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT IT.

Lol, actually typing out pineapple.


OT: I like the new camera angle. Really.
Nurse Joy dying her hair is a BAD idea, for the sake of nostalgia. But I'm okay with the new characters.
New transportation? Planes to Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh please.

planes are a bad idea. what if youre flying and a honchkrow gets killed by the engines, or farfetch'd get smashed against the windshield?

You blame it on Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua and Galactic.

I agree, HMs are a nice feature in the game, but they are poorly executed. HMs should be moves with some usefulness in battle. They should sacrifice SOME power / effects for Over World use, but not so much that HM mules become prevalent.
Surf is better than my ideal moves, because it out powers almost all water attacks. Hydropump does more, with less PP and less accuracy. :/
Cut, on the other hand, is a piece of pomegranate. 50 base Attack and no side effects is just useless. Raise it to 70 or so and I would use it more. Maybe give it a fitting type?
Rock Smash is up there (or rather down there) with Cut. 20 base? It can lower defense, which is nice, but not at 20 base... <_< I am glad to see it typed though.
Rock Climb is a nice move. Give it an appropriate type and I'd love it.

If I had free control over Gen 5 HMs, I'd combine several, buff most of them, and nerf Surf. I've made several post about HMs before, so I don't feel like rewriting it all.

i'd like to see Rock Climb be either a Rock-type or Fighting-type move.

Cut on a Scyther/Scizor with Technician says hi.

Wirlpool... those multi-turn moves never appealed to me whatsoever.
Flash... oh gee i get to somewhat lower the accuracy of the enemy. make it two stages instead of one.

this is retarded. Surf is the only one that is decent. They should all be GOOD MOVES! you are REQUIRED to use them, so make them good. Competitive level good. That is supposing they keep this shitty system for HMs instead of making them passive abilities that your pokes of the correct typing have.
