Whole page.HOT PROFESSOR LADY CONFIRMED FOR PORN IN 5...4...3...
What is this?WHAT IS IT?!IT'S SCARING ME!
>striped crocodile thingPLEASE, let that be real.
>>9065IT'S GROUND/DARK MAN! SO AWESOME!
CURRENT RUMORS- 3 V. 3 Battles- No more Gym Badges (sounds pretty bullshit)- Can switch out party Pokemon and box Pokemon anywhere- can only carry 3 party members at a time (This sounds the most like bullshit)- TEAM PLASMA
I want a shimama and a gear, the other ones are alright, except for that pink... whatever.
Oh god, FFFFFFFFJUST WHEN I DECIDE I'M DONE WITH WATCHING THE UPDATES LIKE A HAWKAnd this is probably the CoroCoro for this month, so now we gotta wait another fucking month for new stuff. Or maybe till tomorrow afternoon? I hope Pokemon Sunday has something good.This gen, I told myself I need to not watch the updates so closely. After the announcement of a few new pokemon I wanted to just stop paying attention so when I get the game it'll all be a beautiful surprise or something. But I don't know if I caaaaaaaaaan.>>9067Where are these rumors flooding out from?Also, I am seeing hatred of Hihidaruma popping up. They are saying it is the poor man's Infernape. I personally like it though.
>>9061this all look amazing, well mostthe bird thing there's nothing special, the flower thing looks horrifying (I want one) , the gears have such A dopey face But I'll love them >>9067>Can switch out party Pokemon and box Pokemon anywhere I would LOOOOOOOOVE thisbut all I hope for is a 3 way battle mode
>>9063Pretty swift?
>>90694chan.
>>Dr.AraragiWait...unless this is some weird Japanese name for a plant I'm familiar with....this isn't a plant.Araragi is a butterfly genus.
...oh god, oh my sweet lord, oh my holy...Is that... It can't be.Is it??Is that a motherfucking FIRE GORILLA. WITH FLAMING EYEBROWS.IS IT?!Gen 5 confirmed for holy-fuck-i-can't-even tier.I feel weak. Someone. Someone hold me. I can't breathe. I can't feel my body.
>>9079Right now /co/ is arguing that it's actually a Flaming Owlbear.
>>9081No. Fuck you /co/ You will not take my Gorilla Bro away from me.Seriously we have seven monkeys and apes and just now they decide to throw in a fucking gorilla.
I want that Desert Croc and Eleczebra.
>>9062I'm going to need about twelve of those fucking chinchillas. Holy SHIT is that thing cute.
>>9085Must we?
>>9085Yeah, a lot of people detest the cartoony, less anatomical direction the designs are headed, myself included.
>desert Crocodile>Dark/Ground>>8622
>>9085damn it doesn't take people long to sperg
>>9069Pokemon Sunday doesn't typically say new things, they'll probably show exactly this stuff.
>>9089I thought people were getting upset over Pokemon getting too detailed; IE: Beautifly being much more detailed a butterfly than Butterfree.Now we're doing the opposite?I'm not sure people actually know what they want.
>>9091I've never liked Butterfree's design, but I think Beautifly and Dustox are awesome. So it goes both ways.
>>9091okay, there's a different between being too unrealistic and having more crap on it, and things like bugs can have those cartoony designs because it's believable, provided they don't go wild with it. oh, and more animal mouths.
>>9085>Color: Fits title of game, has nothing to do with power or species>speciesOkay, this fuckwad is totally trolling.
>Pigeon.Bought.
>>9085Because, you know, Black and White horses simply don't exist.
>>9079GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS
>>9094What, and creaming himself over Rapidash's fire for being "alive" even though it's a non-moving portrait?
Oh wait, more updates from serebii1. Reshiram is Fire/Dragon, Zekron is Electric/Dragon2. They're both about 3 meters tall3. You need the event Celebi to get Zorua
>To get Zorua, you will need to send over the Celebi from the upcoming movie to Black & WhiteWhat.If this is the only method I am going to be a sad batman.
>>9102You can catch the Zoroark from the Shiny Beast event and then breed it.
>>9103But both of those are events. I think he meant through regular means. I kinda feel what he's saying, it was more or less impossible to get a Latios or Latias without pal parking or trading in D/P/P.
>>9106Fuck yeah wrasslin'.
I don't know how I feel about these. I like the croc, gears, bird, and professor. I'm iffy on the horse and egg... thing. But the fire gorilla, I'm not feeling that one at all.
Funny, no one posted more info on the new region?Mountains perpendicular to ocean, wasteland between two rivers, forest, and a city on a plain? You know, if you think about it, these video game geographies really don't make sense.Also, I see some plateaus in the back and a tower(?) in the back left corner.
>>9109But where is it.
>>9108"Grill"a?
>>9110Where is the region in relation to other regions? I don't know, Other observations:There isn't a lot of water, but there's an ass-load of bridges.Either there are less cities overall, or Hiun City is impossibly fuckhueg.I think that place north of Hiun and the wasteland is an amusement park (or at least it has a Ferris wheel).It's pretty obvious where the Elite Four here are, but it seems to be multiple locations. Maybe the different matches are WAY far apart?Is that thing in the middle o f the Pokeball shaped island and lake a Colosseum?
>>9101>Reshiram is Fire/Dragon, Zekron is Electric/Dragon Oh boy, more fucking dragons.
>>9113It does? Where exactly is the Elite Four?
>>9114At least they're dragon-types we've never gotten before (one of which is 5 generations overdue!)...
>>9116Probably that castle/tower to the west of those mountain ranges.
http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/More_Black_and_White_information_surfacing>The Global Terminal is now a part of the Pokémon Center, similar to the entrance of the Union Room in previous games.YES!
>>9109So it's basically New York City with deserts and mountains?
>>9110I'm under the impression that it's China.
>>9101 >Reshiram is Fire/DragonWell fuck you too, Game Freak.
>>9120So... Vegas?
Digging the Gears, Fire OwlGorrilla, Desert Cocrodile, and Electric Zebra. Not so much the Pigeon, Chinchilla or that pink thing.
>>9122You can't have a part-dragon starter!They're supposed to be rare and/or legendary.
>>9122Charizard is never going to be Fire/Dragon. NEVER.
>>9127Plus, back then that would have given him only two weakness which had regular damaging attacks. And one of them would have been Ground despite Charizard having goddamn wings.
>>9121Really?
DAMN IT WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS UPDATES WHILE I'M NOT AROUND. I JUST HAD TO FUCKING NAP.ALSO I AM IMPOSSIBLY EXCITED. GEN 5 CONFIRMED FOR BEST GEN. IF THE TEAM BADGUY LEADER TURNS OUT TO BE FEMALE AS WELL, SHIT IS GOING TO GO DOWN.
>>9067Based on these rumours is it possible you're not a pokemon trainer in this game? Maybe you're just a dude/dudette with pokemon this time around instead of someone trying to be the very best.
I can really get behind the "no badges" thing. That would make it harder for them to justify HMs. Although the "switching out anywhere and everywhere" thing would put an end to that annoyance anyway.
Uh...hmm.
THE FIRST PORN OFF PIXIV. Much faster than White's first piece arrived.
FIREDARUMAPIGOWLGORILLA IS AMAZING AAAAAAAAAPsychicpigflowerovary and Geartwins are only slightly less amazing!Zebralectric and Crazycroc are pretty rad.Chinchillabro is adorable, and Pigeon-thing is neat, reminds me of Farfetch'd in a way.And I can dig the hot lady professor.
>>9131Why is Brooklyn a dense forest and why is New Jersey mountainous?
>>9140It's a tourism thing. People will actually want to visit New Jersey now.
>>9142I live in NJ and trust me on this. It'll take a hell of a lot more than pretty mountains to make this place more appealing. Breathable air would be a start
>>9101Shokotan was right all along?!
>>9137Japan must love that MILFessor.
>>9145...And now I have to name my rival Carlos.
>>9146PERFECT!
>>9066Well, I know what I'm naming him.
>>9148Chaser?
>>9122thats fire/flying
they're look'n pretty awesomeexcept for the normal type pikachu.they gotta cut that shit out.
>>9109is that a honey filled room down there? does this mean a BEES type gym leader?also gen 5 confirmed for AMERICA FUCK YEAH.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm excite again.
>>9063oh look, the new pokedex looks like an old ipod.
Holy shit, most of these are just so... I don't know, decent that I didn't even believe they were real at first. I'm really glad they're giving simpler designs a try again. Maybe they just used up all the extraneous detail on the legendaries.Anyway, I need the hell out of that little fluffy chinchilla thing. I don't even care that its stats will almost certainly be terrible. Fucker's adorable.
So how much porn will there be of the Professor Lady molesting our intrepid protagonists by the end of this?
>>9176you do realize every starter and legendary had more complex designs since the 1st games right?
>>9178Uh, yeah, that was kind of my point. You'd be hard pressed to say most of these newly revealed common ones are overdesigned, though. I'm pleasantly surprised just to see a few deviate from that, even if the rest turn out to follow the overdone legendary model in the end. Better than nothing, y'know?
New professor looks like the type of woman who would offer kids alcohol.
>>9189fuck you man
>>9189Why must you ruin everything I enjoy, internet?
Please tell me this is fake.
>>9198It is, it was on fucking deviantart, holy shit RESEARCH PEOPLE RESEARCH
>>9198It's really obviously fake, I don't even have to research it. Just look at it.
Unf.
Pokemon Sunday just showed shadows of them.Oddly enough, in the middle of the episode instead of at the end.
>>9061I can't see the fire thing as a gorilla. I keep hearing that's what it's supposed to be, but I look at the face and see an owl!
So Pokebeach has updated saying that Zoroark and Zoura are in fact event only Pokemon that you can only get with the Shiny Beast and/or Celebi.
Here's what fire ape's based on, if any of you were unaware.>>The Daruma doll (達磨, daruma), also known as a Dharma doll, is a hollow, round, Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Dharma), vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered an omocha, meaning toy, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement. The doll has also been commercialized by many Buddhist temples to use alongside goal setting.
>>9213Balls.I hate exclusives.>>9221Oooooohhh! I see it now! Would never have made the connection without a side-by-side comparison.
>>9222It's a bit like how Meowth is based on this guy. Hm... that makes me wonder if there are any other Pokemon based on common Japanese doodads like this.
>>9224Baltoy and its evolutionary line are based off of the first Japanese sculptures.Apparently Japan was ahead of the game even back then, as they beat nearly every fireman culture to the punch by discovering fired clay creates stable pottery nearly half a millenia before anyone else did. Peculiarly, these Jomon era statues were sort of a reverse voodoo doll; if you made one, it captured the spirit of a person, and upon breaking it, it supposedly "broke" a person's ailment.I know of tons of others, such as Chingling being based on a particular holiday custom, and Bronzor and Bronzong are an early Japanese mirror and Buddhist cowbell, respectively.
>>9224Castform is.http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species:_Castform
Motherfuckers, me and Gear are gonna roll your shit.
>>9228 Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE!
>>9227So that's what that "tonniaR rM." thing in Boktai 2 was.
>>9213NIO NO FUCKFUCK FUCKFUCKFCUFKCUFCUFUKVCFUFCKUFKCFUCK FUCKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKFUUUUUUUUUCK FUCKNONO GOD NO AUGH COME ONFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKI was pumped and everything, such a cool motherfucker and I can't even get it through regular means in game.I DON'T EVEN HAVE A SUITABLE REACTION IMAGE SO HERE IS A VIDEO, YES I AM QUITE MAD.
>>Electric AlligatorFinally! An electric type that's totally and completely awesome in every way!
>>9242Ground/Dark, friend.
>>9243 Fuck yeah.
It would be nice to break the mold with a tank-ish Electric type.It only has one weakness which pretty much every Electric type can become immune to with Magnet Rise.
>Reshiram is Fire/Dragon>FIREit looks NOTHING LIKE A FIRE TYPE WHAT THE FUCKLegendary should be a type.
>>9248What are you talking about, his tail looks like a giant torch.
>>9248Cleansing white fire to purify the earth.
>>9247Lanturn, Ampharos, Rotom's Appliance forms.
>>9145Huh weird, personally I kinda think she looks like Bart's teacher, from the Simpsons of course.
>>9270You're a fucking asshole.
>>9270No... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!CANNOT UNSEE
>>9270>Man I don't even know why everyone is freaking out, there is like no resembla-->...>FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
>>9253
>>9270I'm okay with this.
>>9295Heh. I noticed that too.
>TEAM PLASMAANOTHER STUPID VILLAIN "TEAM." RAAAAAAGE
>>9298 PLASMA!?
>>9299
Smaller update: a new screenshot shows that the current weather is indicated by a tab on the bottom screen (most likely meaning it won't remind you of the weather every turn, which I am very thankful for).
>>9308So I see
>>9309>Little Battery meterhmmmmn.
>>9309It's... beautiful.
>>9322The time is also displayed. This could actually prove more useful for people who are battling but have schedules to keep. I know I have been deep in battle before and then when I finally end it I check the time and I'm late to come off my break.
>>9322Just like on the DSi!
>>9309Also, IR activity indicator?Is this Pokewalker compatible?
>>9334Man that's still so dumb. The black and white of a zebra being called arbitrary is just the cherry on top.
>>9334I actually really like the basics of the zebra thing's design, but it would only really look GOOD if you gave it a body shape more like a Ponyta or something. Its head is just so derp. Kind of a shame, really.
>>9308 See, I'm only really excited if that means that there will be actual variable overworld weather.I mean, it's kinda nice not to have to scroll through "and it keeps raining" but really, if there was to be a randomly generated weather system, I'd be MUCH more excited.
>>9334I don't even see a zebra/pony. I see a hyena. A hyena with a mohawk.
>>9335and horses aren't yellow. You can change the color of an animal in a fictional world of your design>>9352and this is also part of the problem, you can hardly tell what something is supposed to be anymore
Am I the only one believing that everything after Flaming Owlbear looks like a first evolution?Because if they are, most of the arguments are somewhat pointless.
>>9081I'm upset that upon further investigation it ISN'T an Owlbear.
>>9359No, I agree. Mostly because of the proportions of its body. If this thing isn't a first stage Pokemon than it's one who's line has no evolution.
Not an owlbear. It's this guy.
>>9367If firegorillaowlbeardoll's final evolution has a beard, I think I would break the internet from the sheer amounts of bliss I will be pouring into it.
>>9221If that Ape is NOT a fighting type, I will be angry.
>>9370Fire/Fighting again?
>>9372Agreed, we already have a fire/fighting simian. Fire/psychic sounds good, and we don't have that combo yet.
>>9372>>9373Dude. It's modeled after Bodhidarhma. The man who /invented/ Kung-Fu.
>>9375>>9370There's only seven combinations of Fire. We need something new, damnit>Fire>Fire/Flying>Fire/Dark>Fire/Fighting>Fire/Rock>Fire/Ground>Fire/Steel
>>9382Meanwhile Water's been combined with everything except Ghost and... uh, Fire...
>>9382 Add Fire/Dragon to that.We need a Fire/Bug fire ant already.
>>9387Which leads me to my next point; water/ghost plz, Gamefreak. C'mon, a kappa, a lady of the lake, a water nymph, SOMETHING.
>>9390Or a firefly.
>>9375I thought it was modeled after a doll.
>>9393It's modeled after a dharma.Which is modeled after Bodhidharma.
>>9392We already got two shitty fireflies that aren't even electric type. There should totally be a Piranha Plant inspired fire/grass type. It can only be found in the sewer systems of the game (if this gen does have a sewer system.)
>>9394Well, that explains it.
>>9391Or a proper Water/Dark
>>9395This is awesome.
>>9412We got a frikkin' rocket shark. That evolved from a piranna. And it learns hyper beam. So it is literally a shark that fires frikkin' laser beams from its head. It is a rocket shark that fires laser beams from its frikkin' head.
>>9412>>9424Agreeing that Sharpedo is awesome, but yes please, Cthulhu pokémon!
>>9427Final evolution of the Tentacool line, anyone?
>>9428Tentacool is undeserving of such an awesome pinnacle.
late, but just heard that Reshiram and Zekrom will probably be gender-specific due to the yin-yang thing.Reshiram being male, Zekrom female...maybe this explains the.. phallic thing.
>>9431Where did you hear this from?
>>9429You mean, tentacool/cruel is already so awesome it doesn't need another evolutionary stage, rite?
Sooo coooooool
Wild Bolt does do recoil damage! I wonder how strong it is compared to Volt Tackle.
Also the music changes when your health is low.
>>9530whyyy does it flooooat
>>9530OOOWWW MY NECK
>>9534Because it's Psychic type?
>>9157And yes, that's definitely the gym music being played here.
>>9537So I guess that confirms the "no gyms" rumor is a crock of bull hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonkey, then?
>>9539Maybe they're going with something like what Zelda is doing with dungeons.
>>9540I'm not sure what you're getting at there.
>>9541Supposedly, the new Zelda isn't going to have dungeons.When asked about it, we're told theat their going to be integrated into the environment, and theres going to be dungeons without bosses and bosses without dungeons.Pokemon might be doing a similar thing where you don't ever say "Hey! A pokemon gym!", the stuffs integrated into the narrative.
I finally managed to find a way to turn the .ts file into a gif.
>>9543I...it's MOVING
>>9543>everything I've seen lately of Black and White.
3DS compatible right? RIGHT?!Because 3D Pokemon is so HUGHDJGNKJDNNNNNNNNNNRGHNG
>>9563Maybe for Pokémon Grey.
>>9565>Pokemon GreyTHE MADNESS!!! IT HAS TO STOP!!!
Pokemon Grey? More like Pokemon Rainbow
>>9579I hope, purely so I can say Pokemon is FAAAAABULOUS~
>>9581Like it wasn't already.Seriously, why was third gen so gay.
Also, please excuse the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff quality of the Steven in that image, I was tired of looking for better art.
>>9582>Eusine>Gen III
>>9584Yes, I know. I was also going to try and put Riley on there, but the images I kept finding were even worse quality than Steven's.
>>9585Riley's Gen 4.And there is nothing gay about being able to afford a nice suit.
>>9588You missed the point I was trying to make. That said, it was a little oblique.
I'm gonna admit, Steven was just filler to keep that format from being asymmetrical.
I'd like to apologize to everyone involved in this, especially Steven for comparing him to Tucker. And I'd like to thank Hal for correcting my huge oversight.That said, I still think Steven is gay, but not in any derogatory way. He's a very dignified and respectful gentleman of leisure.
Pokemon has always been wonderfully accepting of camp.
>>9579Getting myself a Rapidash in that game so I can AAALWAYS
>>9585*gasp*Riley is NOT gay. Not that this is a bad thing, but that man is suave. While we were walking together in Iron Island I imagined we were on a pokemon trainer date. Like LovePlus but fun.
>>9616It's because he looks like Sir Aaron.The subtext between him and his Lucario gets transferred over to Riley and his Lucario by proxy.
>>9591>mirror B>gaynigga what
>>9621I didn't say gay. I said FABULOUS.
>The latest issue of Nintendo Dream has provided new insights into the special Illusion ability that Zoroark & Zorua both have. This ability, as we knew previously, allows for Zorua/Zoroark to be transformed into another Pokémon when sent into battle, as seen with the special event when you capture Zoroark. However, prior to now, the details of the ability were not known. We now know the details of this ability. The ability allows for Zorua & Zoroark to be in the form of the Pokémon in second place in your party at the time of it being sent out. This means that if you have say Jigglypuff in the front of your party, Zorua & Zoroark would appear in battle as a Jigglypuff. As we know from before, it keeps its Dark-type, but its appearance and name will match the Pokémon of which it has an Illusion.In addition to those details, it provided a massive image of the Isshu region, showing more areas than the images so far. It doesn't provide new details but does show an airfield and speculates that there is an airport in the game and various places such as a theme park, windmills, ancient ruins and what they think is a blast furnace.
>>9626That's going to make the entire metagame collapse in paranoia.Awesome.
>>9626It looks great and you totally don't have any idea where you're going to be headed!Why do all those numbers only go from 2-13? Where's 1?>>9629Looks like we know what's gonna be The Spy's favorite Pokemon.
>>9630It never really was a crabby.
>>9632Man, Chiramii is too deliberately cute to be any kind of useful. So sad.
>>9633It's also too Ratatta.
>>9634Actually, its Isshu Dex number is 78. Its more of a Skitty or perquisite Pikachu ripoff if anything.
>>9626I love zoroark and zorua so much now. Do want.
!
>>9659>Heard this in my noggin.
>>9658I hope you're able to participate in the events needed to get one. >>9213
>>9626Call me stupid, but what does that even mean? Will Zorua keep its stats or steal the stats of others? Will it keep its moves? Will it keep some but gain another?
>>9710It looks like it means that you'll send out this new guy, which will play like a normal Pokemon on your side, but your opponent will see the wrong sprite on their screen.
>>9717Not just sprite but name. So they have no idea if the pokemon they're seeing is really there.
>>9742So basically, Zoruark confirmed for master troll.
>>9748Yes. Because he doesn't even need to be on your team to troll your opponent. Because he is always slightly concerned that your next pokemon isn't what it appears.
>>9749I have this feeling that he's going to be stuck in the uber tier, if not banned entirely.
>>9758Hence the Event-only-ness.
>>9760>>9758fuck bitches get money. I'll still use it.
Actually if you think about it it doesn't sound too bad. Simple workarounds to Zoroark:1. Place something in the second slot of your party that is countered by something which also counters Zoroark (e.g. Scizor will probably counter it so chuck a Tyranitar there). Since there will likely be many situations like this, enemy Zoroark can't cope with any specific threats without servery limiting their usefulness, making countering them pretty safe.2. If you have a Zoroark, put it in the second slot to ruin your opponent's. Bonus failure: if both players do this Zoroark's ability is meaningless. >>9758I don't think you know what Uber tier is at all.
>>9781I think you misunderstand. Zoroark doesn't turn into the second Pokemon in the OPPONENT'S party.
>>9786 He turns into the one of the second slot of YOUR party. Which means you send him out, and he looks like a pokemon that is vulnerable to what he's resistant to. Lets go with a Alakazam. As far as your opponent knows, you just sent out a Alakazam. He sends out a Gengar and uses a ghost attack, and does almost no damage. Because he didn't know that wasn't a real Alakazam.And because it's the SECOND SLOT in your party, you can send him out whenever you want. This means that ANYTIME you see an Alakazam in play, theres a chance that it will take 1/4 the damage you're expecting it to from your attack, and this applies to every pokemon in the game. Anything your opponent sends out could be a Zoroark.
Anyways, here's some high quality shots.
Contrary to my suggestion that this person was a gym leader, they appear to just be fighting in a messy room rather than a gym.
So maybe Cheren is a rival.It does the VS thing for your rival, right?
But then there's this guy who says he'll surpass the champion.
Also there's a quick shot of what appears to be a roller coaster.
There's a person over there. Is this like a gym?
Awful theories time. Cheren isn't a rival but some sort of a detective. Messy room? CHECK."Stop right there, criminal scum!" look? CHECK.
>>9801I'd say this is our bad guy. Looks sinister enough.>>9805AWESOME!
>>9801>>9804same person or perhaps related>>9806Oh god no, looks like another electric gym
>>9807Yeah, I'm getting a Naoto vibe from her.
>>9803The VS thing is done for a lot of important characters. (i.e. Team Leaders/Admins, Gym Leaders, E4 members, etc.)
HOLY SHIT NEW STUFF3 ON 3 BATTLES, AND NEW POKEMON!! FFFFF HOLY SHIT!>>9807Still surprised no one has pointed out that A.) That room is beyond messy it looks like it was robbed. And B.) There is a cat girl in the background.
>>9822Also, Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf83RqrBcZ0
>>9822Oh yeah, I should have noticed that they were saying there'd be a full trailer on this other show.TRIPLE BATTLES, NEAT.
>>9824Goddamn fucking random battle bullshit is back for no fucking reason you stupid motherfuckers everyone else has advanced so far past them it's not fucking funny.Mechamole looks cool though.
>>9822BONES IS ALL OVER THE LOLIGOTH POKEMON
>People raging over triple battles.I don't get it.
>>9828Haven't you noticed that no one ever wants to play doubles competitively?
OH MY GOD THE NEXT CONSOLE GAME IS GOING TO BE SO FUCKING AWESOME I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT AHHHH
>>9830Exactly.How will this affect the metagame? It won't, because 1 on 1 still exists.
>>9832I think they're worried that since the VGC forces them to play Double Battles, the next one will force them to play Triples.
Oh God 3 v 3 battles look so busy
>>9833So we'll have our own tournament, with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the tournament!
>>9826>Goddamn fucking random battle bullshit is back for no fucking reason you stupid motherfuckers everyone else has advanced so far past them it's not fucking funny.The only series I can think of that doesn't do random battles anymore is the Final Fantasy series. What am I forgetting?
>>9822SMUG LIZARD STARTERPOKEMON THAT IS A FUCKING SPYDRILLMOLESARCOPHAGUS-POKE GARCHOMP'S FOREIGN RELATIVETARANTULA THING ROLLER COASTERSBRIDGESAW YEAH NIGGA, NOW THIS GENERATION IS GOING SOMEWHERE
>>9836Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.I can't speak for other DQM games.
Also, Doryuuzu and Desukan will be mine. Drill liner forever.
>>9826Why do this piss you off so much. This is like... It's pokemon. Any other game, I'd be pissed, but this is MOTHERFUCKING POKEMON.
>>9836Well for one Earthbound back in the 90s. Dragon Quest as of 9. Tales of _____.
>>9841>Dragon Quest as of 9I should really be paying more attention.As for Earthbound and Tales, I feel like they don't really count because they where doing it all along. Just continuing along the same battle system with a few tweaks here and there.I guess what I'm getting at is that it's just a particular type of system for RPG's that works for some games better than others. Personally, I think it works fine for Pokemon.
>>9841Tales of Phantasia definitely had random encounters.
>>9824Anyone else notice the roller coaster's car looks like the VS Seeker?
>>9846Maybe it is a vs seeker. It only takes you to places where you can find vs.
>>9844Yes, Tales was one of those that moved past them.Anyway, I dislike random encounters because they break the flow of the game. Would it really be so hard to have the grass shake, or maybe some shadows? Maybe allow you to register repels to a button instead of having to go into your bag? It would be one of those simple fixes that you wouldn't notice how much you like until you go back to games that don't have it, like running.
>>9826At least random battles in Pokémon make sense. You only have them when you intrude inside of habitats like Wild grass or caves. Plus, Repels are cheap as fuck.
>>9849I don't know man when I'm outside I can see animals walking around. I assume it would be easier if I had a total view of the area. Also why is everyone talking about this when there's a fucking GOLDEN DRAGON in one of those screenshots?Gold=the best metalDragon= the best animalGold Dragon= ???
A better picture from behind of the double battle. Sarcophagus and the Spider. That spider is rather similar to Ariados isn't it? Maybe I'm just seeing it wrong, so it might not just be a fluffy spider? Because that's totally what I'm seeing here.Maybe Ariados gets a Tarantula evo? Or it could just be a new Spider Pokemon all together?
>>9851Ooh, the Sarcophagus has souls leaking out of it.Maybe you find him in the desert.And a pyramid, too.They have pyramids in the great deserts of New York, right?
>>9851A spider Pokemon that doesn't suck? Dreams do come true.
Is it wrong of me to hope that Marley comes back just simply so she'll have one of these?>>9851From Pokebeach:>>"# The first four new Pokemon revealed (from left to right) are Ononokusu (オノノクス), Doryuuzu (ドリュウズ), Desukaan (デスカーン), and Denchura (デンチュラ); they are in the first screenshot below. Doryuuzu's name derives from "mole," Desukaan's comes from "death" and "coffin," and Denchura's name contains the words "electric" and "tarantula." Guess it's an Electric tarantula. We're not sure about Ononokusu's name, though it seems to derive from "fear." Three unnamed Pokemon were also revealed, shown in the second screenshot below. Moguryuu (モグリュー), whose back we see in the third screenshot on the farthest right, is the pre-evolution of the mole Pokemon Doryuuzu. The video reveals that Black and White will feature triple battles, as the rumors we posted a while ago stated. First double, now triple! New attacks are "Grass Mixer," which Tsutaaja used against Mijumaru in yesterday's video, and "Drill Liner," which Doryuuzu uses. In addition to "Fight," "Run," and "Pokemon," there is a new menu option called "Shooter." We don't know what this is yet (do we get guns now? :D). Oddly, "Bag" is missing in the clip they show. "White High-Link" is some sort of link to the Internet where you can change your Trainer's avatar. Before the scene in the video is shown, there is a gathering of other Trainers, so it may have to do with online or wireless multiplaying. The "Pokemon Global Link" is the service that allows you to connect Black and White to your computer to upload the save file."So apparently The spider has nothing to do with Ariados in fact, it's an electric Tarantula.
>>9855If it is, I will happily burn in Hell.
>>9852We have an obilesk.
>>9806>>9811From seeing the trailer is seems like that's the amusement park.I've always thought random battles were a necessary evil for Pokemon: they're annoying, but encountering overworld sprites would clutter everything because of the relatively small maps and would make supposedly rare Pokemon stupidly easy to find since you could just leave and enter until the area spawns the one you want.
I wonder if in the next gen, you'll be able to battle all pokemon at once. With 3 in the front row as melee and 3 in the back as support or ranged pokemon. You just know Shuckle would make a perfect meatshield.
>>9858This is why you use ambiguous identical shadows. Pokemon has always been a bit behind, but with the 3DS coming soon this will be the last time they can pull the "resources" card. Then again when I saw SM64DS I assumed they wouldn't be able to pull it with DP so who knows.>>9859I'm looking forward to when Gamefreak just gives up and decides to make pokemon a 6vs6 SRPG. Maybe by gen 11 if the pattern holds.Oh god, gen 11. THOUSANDS OF POKEMON. HUNDREDS OF LEGENDS. DOZENS OF EVENT-ONLY POKES.
Anyone up for guessing American names? Apparently the GOLDEN DRAGON'S name comes from the japanese word for "fear." So, it should obviously be Fear-rex.
>>9855This thing's evolution is going to be the new Gardevoir/Lopunny, isn't it?
>>9850Looks more like greenish, to me.
I like some of the new designs, but some of them don't look like -Pokemon- at all.
SmugleafGold DragonElectric Tarantula. Well, there's my team. This is officially everything I've wanted out of pokemon.
>>9863Talking shit about lopunny, brah?
>>9822That greenish yellow thing in the first screen really doesn't have stage presence.....
>>9859>I wonder if in the next gen, you'll be able to battle all pokemon at once. With 3 in the front row as melee and 3 in the back as support or ranged pokemon.>>9861>I'm looking forward to when Gamefreak just gives up and decides to make pokemon a 6vs6 SRPG.If anything like these happen, pokemon will no longer be pokemon.
>>9876Unfortunately, by definition pokemon will always be pokemon derp derp. Also every new pokemon looks like a pokemon, because they look like themselves (which is to say, a pokemon).What's the difference between 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, etc? What is the limit?
I predict some kind of leader/backup setup with 3 on 3 matches. I'm not really sure how exactly it would work, though...
BEHOLD!NEW ANIMATION MODELS THAT REVEAL NEW POKEMON AND SOME EVOLUTIONS!ASH IS STILL THEREWHO IS AFROGIRL?!
>>9895Oh god, smugleaf has gotten even smugger!
>>9895I AM SICK OF ASHAND I WANT TRUCKER GIRL TO BE IN THE ANIME DAMMIT
>>9895Afrogirl looks awesome.Wotter's evolution looks ADORKABLE I WANT ONE.Tsutarja's evolution looks BADASS and more snakey.I AM PLEASED.
>>9895I HOPE CARL IS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER IN THIS.
>>9900?...?!!!
>>9895That's not an afro at all, but she still looks interesting.Also, holy shit, that guy does look like Carl. I wonder who is he.
>>9895I was stubbornly hoping that the female player character would be in the anime despite reports to the contrary, but now that hope is waning.Nintendo, I am disappoint.
>>9895Being an expert on the subject, I can clearly say she's not sporting an afro, heck going by the quality of the scan she might not even be black, if that's what you meant by "afro"....Also, no Brock? The rumors are true?
>>9904>>9916I didn't know what else to call big fuzzy pigtails pointed in 3 directions attacked to one central lump of hair.
>>9904>>9903>>9900GIVE ME THAT FRIGGEN PIKACHU ALREADY
>>9916Tracey is coming back.
>>9882The thread seems to be going in a different direction, but since you sound genuinely curious, I'll give you the full rant.>What's the difference between 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, etc? What is the limit?That's part of the problem. What's the point of even adding 3v3 if we already have 2v2? Likewise, what's the point of playing 2v2 when 3v3 comes out?2v2 was neat when it came out because multi battles (4 players) added a genuinely promising new dimension to pokemon strategy. Theoretically, it would require real life, human-to-human teamwork -- it's too bad 4-player battling never caught on. On the other hand, I don't see how 3v3 can possibly contribute anything new or meaningful to pokemon strategy.And by pokemon strategy, I mean the emphasis on switching around party members to maintain tactical advantage, usually via typing. That is the hallmark of the one-on-one format that makes pokemon incredibly unique compared to the rest of the stagnant JRPG genre. The number 2 is acceptable because it's something different while at the same time staying as similar to one-on-one as possible. However, adding more and more active combatants has diminishing returns. Already, double battles see less emphasis on typing, one of the cornerstones of pokemon battling, because every pokemon can hit and get hit by two different opponents with eight moves total. Triples battles will only make that worse.Making some pokemon be shielded via positioning has a similar problem. If a rear position pokemon can't get hurt, then its typing becomes virtually meaningless. Not to mention, you could have something like DD Mence or BellyZard or Nasty Plot Azelf set up with impunity, and then it becomes an all-offense clusterfuck once more.Basically, triple battles are looking like they'll just be a tacked-on gimmick, unable to add anything that doubles doesn't already offer. Besides, I want pokemon to maintain a cohesive identity as a series, and bigger party-on-party mechanics will detract from that.
>>9924Oh, I forgot about 6-player battles.Could be wacky.Except there's no way to equalize the levels. We had a bit of trouble with that when we did our multi battles.
>>9795It seems like the illusion would be betrayed in the first turn, anyways.Just gotta fake out/protect and/or U-Turn.That'll show him who's who.
I would flip the fuck out so hard for a pokemon SRPG with 6vs6 pokemon battles, you don't even know. How pokemon managed to get pinball and roguelikes before an SRPG is so baffling to me that I didn't think about it until someone mentioned it. I mean, it's not like Intelligent Systems is doing anything worthwhile, so why not them?
>>9895The bat-looking thing above Jesse - Koromori(koro = roll koumori = bat)Afrogirl = IrisDinosaur-like Pokemon next to Iris = YubasuEvo of Smug Grass = KuomaakuEvo of Wotter = Rakonsuke
DUDELOOK AT WOTTER'S EVOLUTIONHE IS FUCKING DUAL-WIELDING CLAMSHELLS.THAT IS FUCKING HARDCORE.also Smugleaf's evolution is a badass motherfucker.
>>9895DAMNIT MAN THOSE ARE UNCONFIRMEDActually, they've been circulating for no less than a week and have zero proof of where they came from or any type of conclusive evidence that they are real. Sorry for being the fun police guys.
>>9903Look at the stain on his pants. It has to be Carl.
>>9972I hear this week's episode of Pokemon in Japan will shed some light on the BW series.
>>9895That girl reminds of someone else who's older, but I can't think of who. I was gonna say Jasmine, but on closer inspection that's not even close.I'm not sure if that makes this more or less likely to be fake.
>>9974Eh...it's a little unlikely. Unless his opponent says something about going to Isshu and tells Ash a little about it.This week is all about Ash having a single battle with Nando (pictured). It's also worthy to note he's a "Pokemon Minstrel"?I think Pokemon Sunday may have better odds showing us or telling us something we don't know.
>>9981I guess. For some reason I thought in the next episode preview they said they would, but I don't actually know Japanese.
>>10049>>9895Okay, so now I'm going to apologize all over the place. The episode aired and a trailer for the next season aired after it. This stuff has been unconfirmed for forever mind you, but the trailer that aired has confirmed it.That concept art is the real deal and it makes me a little uneasy, because of Carl with an Umbreon.Also, in my defense we had no proof the stuff was real.
>>10051Hm, that may have shed some light on it, but it's keeping us in the dark about a lot.
>>10051Man, finding good Carl Quotes to Pokéfy is harder than I thought.
>>10057WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FRICKIN' POKEBALL?!?!
>>10057The Handbanana episode has loads of good ones."Oh, he's not an Eevee anymore. He's a poke-man now. CUZ HE FREAKIN RAPED ME.""Handbanana, meet The Enforcer." "Umbreon." "Fine, Umbreon, whatever."
>>10064And to think I always thought of Ditto as a perfect Handbanana after one kicked my ass when it turned into my Luxray.
>>10057Hey Dawn, I got your pokeballs right here, heheheheh.
>>10103Get off my lawn ya damn Bug Catchas!
Looks like that battle screen top bar is a contraction of the in-game touch screen interface thingy.

From PokeBeach"An advanced screening of The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark took place in Japan this weekend and one fan was able to see it just as I saw Arceus and the Jewel of Life's early screening last year (I would have tried to go but it was apparently super private this year). The fan comments on an advertisement for Black and White preceding the movie which shows one new Pokemon. He also provides details on what was shown in the preview for next year's movie, which will feature a new fifth generation Pokemon with big eyes and ears. Heerosferret has translated the blogger's comments below.Both Heerosferret and I are going to the first public screening of the movie this Saturday (Friday in U.S. time). We'll post a movie summary a few hours after we see it. However, I will post any new Pokemon news immediately after the movie ends (I may try to sneak in my... yeah). Stay tuned! For a moment you can see a battle scene with a new Pokemon called Nezumimi (portmanteau of "mouse" and "ear"). By the way, is that Chinchilla Pokemon [Chiramii] a rodent or a cat? I wouldn't say Nezumimi isn't of the same evolutionary line... but then again I only saw it for one instant so I can't say for sure. [In other words, he's saying the new Pokemon Nezumimi and the chincilla Pokemon Chiramii look similar, with Nezumimi possibly being a pre-evolution or evolution.] We also see Isshu's Ferris Wheel. Nezumimi [At the end of the movie, Reshiram and Zekrom are shown in the preview for next year's movie.] Reshiram's tail spouts fire like a jet engine and it flaps its wings to fly. Of course, Fire-type. Zekrom's tail is like Mobile Suit Gundam 00's, what is it called, solar furnace? And the inside glows blue-white, like it is generating electricity inside its body. Of course, Electric-type. At the end of the trailer, an unnamed Pokemon is waving to us. It has big eyes and pointed ears. It kind of looked like this drawing I made [to the right]. I think a part of the ears were orange, but I forgot how the body looked. [The blogger also mention that the DSi will have a new "TV Telephone" feature where you can have a TV-phone conference with up to four people.]"
Also new Pokemon revealed from bandai,First we have the Pokemon shown near Iris in the recent beta art...
>>10201
>>10202...as well as some retarded broccoli monkeybtw these are not confirmed
and lastly possible front of desukan
>>10204Looks like the evolved or alternate form of this thing.
>>10208That thing keeps reminding me of Rodom
>>9895Real after all?!
>>10208I fall more and more in love with this thing the more I see it.
>>10222I am so excited for this bat. I hope it replaces at least 50% of all Zubats.
>>102612nd'd. Of all the non-starter new pokemon so far, it's the one I'm most likely to use. Hopefully, it won't get uglier upon evolving.
Serebii is posting some kind of update from early CoroCoro scan or demo pictures from 2channel:- Hatooboo, which appears to be Memapato's (the pigeon) evolved form.- >>10208 This thing is named Gochiruzeru, the green horned thing is Kibago, and the multi-stacked thign with the bows is Rankurusu (unconfirmed)
Well.
>>10320Oh, wait missed something:There's apparently one area on the map which is a different location in each version: White Fortress or Black City.
>>10328It's social commentary. The rich white folks hole up in a gleaming fortress while the poor black folk are spread throughout a grimy, dirty city.
>>10329>dirty cityTHIS IS NOW THE ONLY SONG I WILL PLAY EVERY MOMENT I SPEND IN BLACK CITY
>>10331Conversely.
He's enduring accusations of breaking Japan's strict copyright laws to get these pictures, so enjoy them.
>>10345It looks like Bidoof in chipmunk form. I'm guessing it'll be the Ratata of the game?
>>10345 sounds more like 2ch bawwwwing because they didn't get the images first
>>10350That, too.
If you cut their tails off, do they lose their elemental powers?
Pokémon Sunday's got something to show everyone next week, which will be their big 300th episode.
>>10365(Also CoroCoro will have leaked by then so we'll probably know everything Sunday is going to reveal before then).
>>10365Looks like a bald eagle.
>>10365Looks like a Spearow split evolution.
>>10366See, there we go.
>>10202???
>>10373BRRRRROTHER!
GENTLEMAN, BEHOLD!THIS GAMES CHILDHOOD FRIEND!
So the idea posed to me is that since all the Pokémon Centre stores are in the regions that correspond to the regions in the games, it supports the theory that Isshu is the New York area, as there [was] a Pokémon Centre Store there.
>>10375WHOO!
>>10375I CAN SMELL THE LESBIAN PORN OF HER AND WHITE ALREADY!
>>10375The porn practically draws itself.
>>10375Oh my god she's adorable.
>>10380>>10383I wasn't gonna say anything. But I was sure thinking it.
>>10375>>10380>>10383>>10385If I may make a prediction about the first porn piece we'll see...
>>10375>Filename.
>>10389
>>10389I don't get it.
Hey uh, is anyone else seeing these little things the war eagle is fighting? Do they look new to any of you by chance? I can't recall anything that's already been shown that looks like these little ... things. It's a bit too bland to stand out too, so I figured I'd point it out. Either way, possible new pokemon maybe?
>>10222Is that a Gorgon?
>>10396chiramii
>>10372That is the most american pokemon imaginable.
>>10400Yeah, it's just a pair of ears.So, new stuff from serebii:-You can use the 3DS of DSi for video chat, local or over wi-fi.-Pass By mode (like the Bark mode in Nintendogs)-3v3 battles will have damage order affect how much damage you take for moves which hit more than one Pokemon.-High Link: from the Serebii description is almost seems like some sort of miniature mission-bade mmo.-New move, Magic Room: negates effects of items on opponents (I'm guessing it means held items, or this is the exact same as Embargo)-Picture of Isshu in-game map
Wargle is amazing and "AMERICA FUCK YEAH"
Looks like position matters in a triple battle, so you'll be able to switch positions of your Pokemon in battle.You think that uses up their action for that turn?
>>10422Probably, otherwise everyone would switch every turn.Also, apparently White Fortress was a mistranslation and it's really White Forest.
Looks like besides the completely different White Forest/Black City, other towns will look different between Black and White even though they're the same place.
The cell has a new ability Dust Proof that negates damage from Hail and Sandstorm, but also Magic Guard, which theoretically renders Dust Proof useless unless it in fact protects everyone on your side in a double/triple battle.Which would make sense for them to have more double/triple battle abilities.
Well it seems that they did find a way to use the DSi Camera. Video chats!
Online Leaderboards and some kind of "World of Dreams" you can take a Pokemon to in order to find new friends which somehow can be brought back to the game despite being dreams.It sounds a lot like what the Pokewalker is for, actually.
And events. Including a dream event involving the Eeveeons.
>N will keep challenging you in order to confirm his ideas of justice. He calls Pokemon his "friends," but one of the screenshots shows him saying that he wants to split humans and Pokemon and divide them so that the world is black and white. He has the unique idea to set Pokemon free from people. He's looking for the power to grant these ideals.At this moment, I'm going to pose my crazy theory that Pokémon Trainer "N" is really Phantom Ruler "Z".
>>10431/v/ seems to have really latched onto my theory.
>>10426is it just me or is that bat wing thing a fuzzy adorable beholder?
>>10433No. It's that pig thing made of smaller pig things from Super Mario RPG.
Other news:-The blonde girl with the green hat is named Belle. She's going on her journey even though her dad told her not to.-The guy with the glasses and the jacket is named Cheren, and he wants to be the Champion.-The PC, Belle, and Cheren are all starting their journeys at the same time and between the three of them take all three starters. You're probably friends, but it doesn't explicitly say this.-The girl in the labcoat with the really long hair is named Makomo, and she gives you the C Gear after you do something for her.-Isshu is so far away from the other areas that they have a different map system, so the route numbering is going back to starting with single digit numbers.-Gochiruzeru (the goth loli triangle thing) and Rankurusu (the thing covered in the green translucent aura thing) are corresponding version exclusives in Black City and White Forest.I'd post the relevant screenshots, but I don't know how to bypass serebii's thing that keeps you from right-clicking to save images.
>>10438Tools>Options>Content>Enable Java Script>Advanced>To disable or replace context menus.

Belle looks pretty cute.Cheren looks like he'll be portrayed as a tsundere a lot in fan works.
>>10447I wonder which ship will be more popular: Cheren/Belle or each/either of them with a player character.
>>10431Oh god.If N is the leader of team badguy here, I will be so disappoint.
Also... I... I think I might have to break my code and buy both versions, unless the third one has everything smushed together.Please, let it be that.
>>10431That reminds me of that stupid shit I wrote about the Professor Yggdrasil who was trying to wipe out Pokemon because he thought that the new, mutant wildlife would threaten humans.

N will keep coming to challenge you in order to confirm his ideas of justice. He calls Pokémon "Friends", but one of the screen shots shows him saying that he wants to split humans and Pokémon and divide them so it's black and white. He has the unique idea to set Pokémon free from people. He's looking for the power to bring his idea to fruitionMakomo will give you the C Gear after you assist her with a task
>>10464 This pokemon is AWESOME. I love her just by looking at her and would gladly get Black just to put her on my team. My only issue with her is that she's a pure psychic-type. I just hope she's got good moves too.
>>10447Cheren is my favorite. Yesssssss delicious megane character yesssssssMy team will consist of 6 Dreampigelephantspheres. IT'S SO WONDERFUL.
>>10475I think she is going to be the new Gardevoir, especially if she has an even more feminine evolution. >>10470A fetus pokemon, eh? What would it evolve into?
>>10464>>10465>>10466>>10467>>10468>>10469>>10470Sure is Digimon around here.
>>10487No, those are Pokemon. The Digimon thread is a bit further down. Pay more attention next time ;)
>>10463>random online battles>player rankings>multiplayer missions
>>10464>>10465>>10466>>10467>>10468>>10469>>10470 CHAAAAAANGE INTO DIGITAL MONSTERS TOOOOOO SAVE THE DIGITAL ~WURLD~
>>10487>>10496I really don't see it. I can sorta see it with the legendary ones, but these are far to minimally designed to be considered Digimon in my eyes. The overall structures are made from basic shapes rather than a more complex anatomy commonly found with Digimon.
>>10496Rhyhorn and Gyrados look more like digimon then these guys. I think there is some overlap between the two. Some of the more simplistic digimon like Numemon look like they could be pokemon.I wish Pahael was back up so I could see how fast gochiruzeru got 34'd.
>>10467SO goddamn American. I mean, it's a bald eagle with an Indian war headdress!I totally know which Pokemon is gonna be my flying-type for Black.
>>10506Not to mention it's fucking Red, White and Blue with the ability ENCOURAGE.The only new Pokemon I've seen so far that really looks more like a Digimon is the Sarcophagus one, and I am SO willing to let that go because it's a fucking sarcophagus ghost Pokemon.
The plot thickens.
>>10515Oh hey it's fucking Portland.
It begins.
>>10506Maybe it's the fighting/flying we've been waiting for?
>>10544http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtmlAccording to Serebii.net, Wooguru is a Normal/Flying type......Fuck.
>>10547Yeah, a fighting eagle would have been pretty cool.And now we enter: autosage.
