Pokémon Black and White versions

I agree with wanting the 'your actions change the events of the game' thing. I also want them to change from getting 8 badges. It will be more fresh.

DO. EFFING. WANT. [size='1']to be true...[/size]

THIS. MANIPULABLE PLOT. DO F`UCKING WANT.

Additional rumor dump from Pokebeach. This looks like the type of stuff that won't be verified until the month or two before the game is released, though.

- There will be 157 new Pokemon, bringing the total amount to 650.

- Like how Giratina compliments Dialga and Palkia, a large, green cobra will accompany Reshiram and Zekrom.

- Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.

- 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.

- 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.

- Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru had rough designs over this past year or so, but in the last few months received major overhauls, becoming the final designs we see today.

Although I didn't like most of the pokemon designs so far, I have to admit, seeing this made my eyes wide, sounds like its going to be pretty epic compared to the others. Minotauros? do effing want.

EDIT: The crocodile's ability kicks ass. More attack for every Pokemon KO'd? If it's able to kill well, hell yeah.

It'll probably have crappy attack to make up for it. xd

...Minotauros. cool story bro, do farfetch'd, heracross and zangoose evolve yet

Why? Doesn't Rayquaza fill the green "snake" slot already?

And Taurus will be pleased. Now about Farfetch'd......

I'm very happy with these leaks.

Reshiram + Zekrom + green cobra? wat.

Reshiram + Zekrom + green cobra? wat.

Look at Reshiram - it looks somewhat like a Mongoose bird. Zekrom is arguably mongoose-like as well, excluding the reptilian aspects. A cobra makes sense, in context.

With the Yin Yang theme, I don't see how a green cobra fits into the balance, though Giratina as antimatter to compliment Space and Time was kind of a stretch...

It should be grey and be some neutral thing that binds them together or keeps 'em calm/balanced.

Hah. Rikkitikkipokemon.

Minotauros! Brilliant idea!



I'll imagine that Miltank also gets an evolution. Let's call it Tittank.

Miltank is a beast as it is.... D:
Still waiting for a pre-evo to connect the two.

That's a neat sketch.

Had to do it.

my friends keep pointing out how all the new pokemon look like digimon...

Oh you did not.

I am being 100% serious. That fake chinchilla looked a lot better than what GF actually came up with.

The Tauros evo sounds awesome, I still kind of want a pre-evo that connects Tauros and Miltank together.

What did you want? A chinchilla with a hundred stupid markings on its body while it walks on all fours?
Your arguments are retarded and you have no concept of what should be a pokemon and what shouldn't.

LOL THE CHINCHILLA IS BAD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WALK ON FOUR LEGS.

HEY GUYS, MILTANK IS A COW AND IT RUNS ON TWO LEGS. FU'CK THAT NOISE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CHINCHILLA.
Most of us just see chinchillas as cute chubby rodents.
The thing we have oesn't look like that, of course Seraphim just dislikes a lot more.
A pokemon thats based on an animal should at least look somewhat similar to the animal its trying to be.
I don't think it should really be classified as a chinchilla, though I don't care, its still cute and I'll use it.
