Pokémon Black & White Versions Discussion [DS]

that looks nightmarish.

With the tickets came a pamphlet that stated that the legendary beasts do unlock something within Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. What they unlock is still unknown, but this does confirm that Pokémon Black and White will be compatible for trade in some way with Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver.

PS. I've realised that Gen 3 is my favourite Gen for monster designs, by quite far.

Footage, bitches.
Just about to watch. Loading forever!!

Looked pretty cool, city moves smoothly, just wish we could hear the music or see battle footage... guess we'll have to wait.

Gushes, man this is what I want, I want to stay in that city, and yes please tothe city music. Although I'd rather hear it pumping through my DS headphones.

Rejoice Link for this will be our glory.

Damnit, still looks like we'll only be able to move in four directions, again.

Everything else is looking good though.

I think the city looks really empty and quite dull.

I wonder what happens if you walk up between the buldings? Will it cut to another part of the town like when you enter a building/cave or will the camera zoom in and continue to follow you down the street?

They probably just wanted atleast one city that is much bigger than the other towns, I mean since the beginning some fans have complained "hey, that's nowhere near as big as a city should be".
I'm just a bit worried they'll go too far and make it like a boring WRPG City. Really massive and accurate scale, with nothing in it but NPCs that share dialogue because there are so many of them.

Love the little billboards and city map in the footage - gives things a bit more life and makes it seem more modern.

well digimon ripped off pokemon in the begining...like that one little orange one that looks EXACTLY like charmander....

Anyway, seems like someone listened very close to the Pokémon Sunday vid and "reconstructed" the music for the City. I only say this because I think the chances of a leak are insanely low.

Sounds pretty good!

I really like that music.

Adding that to the video of the city, I'm starting to like the city much more. It's amazing what a good piece of music can do for a game.

It gives me a Ruby/Sapphire vibe.

After watching it in motion ive decided i dont like it, the way the camera rotates while you move aswell, after playing HeartGold, i love the 3D elements in that game, i think its pretty perfect, why mess with it.

EDIT: More fanart:

Show Spoiler

Oekaki White

White based on that concept art for the unnused character.

No... black.... fans?? :'-(

Hopefully it's only a matter of time until we get the official art for the characters too... we got it pretty quickly for HG/SS

My question is how the controls will work, it being a 3D circular environment instead of the usual block environment.

But, I'm sure SL has an answer for that, too!

Of course he has an answer, SL's implemented inside PKMN white as we speak.
He IS pokemon.

Lmao. I wonder who you're trainer is and what level you are. I hope it isn't over 9000.

T'was hilarious first time I played Gold and went against 'Pokemaniac Shane' near the Lake of Rage. So apt I thought at the time.

So, with the Shiny Legendary Beasts possibly having some plot relevance in Black & White, could we take that as an indication that we finally have a title set after Gen 2 and 4?

Another thing...

I think it'll be nice to play as a teenager instead of a pubescent little kid that's 11-13 years old... At least the girl has...well...boobs.

That leevoat fanart still looks better than the grass starter in diamond and pearl...I didn't really like any of the Pearl starters, except the penguin, but that got ugly when it evolved D;

Hey. I personally LOVE Torterra. It reminds me slightly of the Great Bay Turtle from Majora's Mask. D: Turtwig was my first selection. Before I saw the evolution of Chimchar I thought it looked like an ugly deformed baby what with that ugly do-swirl on the top of it's head. XD

Well yeah, I suppose so. I would think it should do more to types like Normal or Fighting, though, myself; Normal because they wouldn't have a 'special resistance' to it as other elemental types might, or Fighting because they would traditionally rely on moving about more due to their physical nature, and being poisoned would slow them down. Fighting might need 'calming down' a bit anyhow, since they're supereffective against five types and only weak to two.

Normal might need something to be supereffective to, actually. It sortof rocks the boat that they're supposed to be this neutral type, not particularly good or bad against anything, yet are anchored with a weakness against Fighting, can do little damage to two types, and have nothing to be strong against.

What would be nice is to have Eevee as a starter like Gary did in pokemon Yellow.

I'm a dedicated Eevee breeder so naturally.. I also think they should make more eevee types too.

Maybe a dragon, rock or flying. Something new. I love all the eons they came out with so far...
