The titles translate to Pocket Monsters Black and White. (or are read as such, for that matter, because Japanese people like to put English words just spelled out in their symbols. POKETTO MONSUTA BURAKKU)
How old is the prediction I've heard many times of future pokemon games being named just this? Like 10-12 years?
Also itt: general Pokemon Gen 5 discussion. Like that ugly "Zoroark" creature
Points of info so far:
- Names are Black and White versions, assuming they stay the same in all regions
- If you missed it before, two Pokemon from these games were mentioned not long ago. Only with their Japanese names: Zorua (http://www.serebii.net/generation5/zorua2.jpg) and Zoroark (http://www.serebii.net/generation5/zoroark2.jpg)
- These games are officially labeled as "Nintendo DS" on that web page. Not DSi or 3DS or anything fancy like that.
- The overworld graphics are about the same as other DS Pokemon games, except the camera seems to get more movement.
- Japanese release is this Fall, so ours is probably Spring 2011.
- More details are to come by April 15th according to the same page.
I'm expecting them to be terrible, but nintendo can feel free to prove me wrong at any time
i expect it will be pokemon. i'd like to have a BIG ass world this time with like 59 badges or some shit. that would be cool.

That'd be freaking awesome. I wish they would actually consider it though.
mmm interesting i love Pokémon games thing is the should as someone said make the world bigger which would be amazing!
When I was a kid Black and White were pirated cartridges of Blue and Red, or was it Silver and Gold. I can't remember, but they were counterfeit copies of one of the two generations. A few kids at school had them, there was nothing wrong with the games themselves, they worked fine, traded fine, had all the same pokemon, could do everything we could do. It was just the title that was different and the strange looking cartridge it came in. So, it was basically a modified Rom and a custom case. Shit was crazy. Now it's even weirder to me that Nintendo are finally making a Black and White version. heh.
Pokemon counterfeits are seriously the worst when it comes to games though. (It happens with every fucking Pokemon game.) I own a counterfeit Platinum due to buying it online (Amazon.) it works fine etc, plays normally, nothings wrong with it, it's just the box it came in and the cartridge colour. It was a lot cheaper though than buying it in store, so what do I expect.
Might buy/pirate it. Not sure. I kinda like heart gold enough to actually buy it. But I don't see the point in doing so as my emulator does everything the DS can do besides go on the move.
I won't buy it unless there are no random battles. I am so sick of the traditional pokemon formula that nothing else could bring me to play it.

so you'll only play it if it stars pokemon, but nothing about the game that makes it pokemon
Lame ass colours/names. doodthing;
I won't expect much from this. However, if it's released on the DS, I'll probably get it. But for fuck sakes, make a grass starter that doesn't stand on four legs.

Yes, I'm aware he's the only one that doesn't stand on four legs. But still, compared to the fire and water, they don't have any four-legged guys. (I don't know if you consider Cyndaquil four-legged)
Not only that, it'd be better if they didn't reuse certain animals for starters. Torterra was okay but they already had a turtle starter. And Chimchar and Piplup were ugly. akudood;
well if i had a giant bulb on my back it'd probably be pretty inefficient for me to walk on two legs
Though it would never happen I wouldn't mind seeing 3 starters that weren't the classic types.
I can't wait to hear more about it the 15th
Oh god I lol'd so hard at some of these

AWWWW SHIT! SEREBII UPDATED, THE FUCKING SCANS ARE OUT:
ADVANCED 3D graphics- more sideways and less overhead, at least inside of the pokecenter, WHICH NOW HAS A FUCKING SHOP
You can also barely see that people speak with word bubbles pointing to the speaker now.
And the 3D overview is as close to full3D as it can get on the DS, saying 3D so much makes me wonder why it isn't on the 3DS lol
The Battle Scenes are now more relatable to the enviornment and we can see the back of your own pokemon, no animation scenes of battles OR the bottom screen yet.
What I did not see: Pokemon following you. This is easily the greatest thing in HG/SS, why would you not include this?! It also seems like they might not use the pokewalker neither :x
Then again it might be in there, not enough to tell yet.

Holy crap. I just saw the screens. Those graphics are really awesome.
Yeah, those looked pretty neat.
They better include it. We paid an extra $5 for a Pokewalker so we better be able to use it on more than 2 games. I don't really care if they remove Pokemon following you, but I still want to take strolls.

Does "WAT!!!!" come to mind?
It was neat and all, but not needed
The 3D rendering itself doesn't actually seem any better at all than the other DS pokemon games. These pictures just have more of a camera angle. It's already obvious that the overworld characters are still sprites glued onto a 3D environment, which has been ugly for every other DS pokemon game even without camera angle changes. It becomes especially ugly in HGSS when they change the camera angle for just ONE thing: taking pictures of your party, let alone advanced camera movement.
Even the DS is capable of much better 3D than this. Super Mario 64 DS is a good example of its capabilities.
The battle system changes look like they might work well, depending on future info. And it's about time that they merge the two essential buildings of every town.
Here's some images and information.
http://serebii.net/index2.shtml
OH MY GOD I JUST NOTICED IN THE ZOROA/ZOROARK BATTLE SCENE: FUCKING SHADOWS!
HOLY SHIT
Also, I just thought about this: the pokewalker only has the data for the sprites from Gen 1 up until 4, so if the pokewalker is involved in gen5 they probably would have to release another one. Unless the pokewalker does not work like that, and it's just a shell and the DS emits all of the required info.
Oh and I noticed in the battle scene, no HP screen clutter. Maybe the screenshot is just from the entering of the battle though
OR
Pokemon HP is now only indicative by VISUAL DAMAGE
AWWW SHIT!

Watch this escalate into some mass rumour and turn into another Mew behind the truck. 3DS allows you to get secret legendary pokemon and/or pokemon not assessable in the game.
The only way any of that will be possible is if the third special edition (Pokemon Gray) is 3DS only and they included a new legendary only accessible through the 3DS, like what they did with Platinum and origin forme giratina.
They're supposed to be announcing the starters around mid-May.
Bump for Gen 5 Starter Sillhouettes and impending CoroCoro scans!
The starters look really weird, sillhouette wise. I hope they do not like horrible when they are fully revealed.
My guess: Top is fire(the tail), right is water(that head/body), left is grass(look at that 3-pronged tail)

Grass looks like a duck. Fire looks like a pig. Can't make out the water, though. Might be just a random creature. Like Chikorita and Mudkip.
Pig tail is grass. Pointy tale is fire, and the other one is the water one.
Looks like it might be like a beaver or somethin. Can't figure it out. Pointy-tale has a crescent body, SO MAYBE A FIRE/DARK TYPE???

With how Zoroa looks, I'm not even sure what the starters will resemble.
Fire pig sounds interesting, but isn't spoink already the psychic pig? How many more pigs do we really need?
It's been speculated that the starters this gen will be dual type (before being fully evolved), but that sounds like bull.

Well if I get it I'm obligated to go with the Sea Otter pokemon. I haven't chosen the water pokemon in a long time, that's usually my brother's.
I don't really like them all that much though, maybe the later evolutions will look better

I'll have all 3 starters on it. Not sure which will be my true starter though.

I am really disappointed that the grass starter isn't what Thyme posted :(
It was so awesome
the middle one (or one of it's evoutions) is toootally gonna be named emboar.
I'm banking on one form being Blazerback
Am I the only one who doesn't think the water starter is that bad? The only thing I don't like about it is the freckles, and it's not worth complaining over it. psyduck;
Some people seem too nostalgic over this. Squirtle didn't have a great design, either. Weezing, Magneton, and Dugtrio were all horrible designs too.
I don't like the water starter's shell on its torso or its overall awkward body shape, but his face is so adorable. cjlubdoods;

http://ds.ign.com/articles/109/1093561p1.html
I think I like the white legendary just for its tail
I like the black legendary more. But they sorta look like monsters from Final Fantasy to me.
Honestly I find Black's legendary looks sorta like Charizard if he fused with Darkrai or some other pokemon.
which kinda makes me wanna nickname him Darkizard
Pretty sure the black one is in White and the white in Black. I like the white one better. Also, based solely on looks, it seems to me that they'd be dragon/dark and dragon/ghost, especially because of that whispy thing coming off the white one's head.
Well better than palkia at least... but that's not saying a whole lot

good, im not the only one who thinks this.
seriously, the artists are just getting worse and worse.
The reason these new Pokemon look so different is because when the games first came out, the graphics capabilities were limited to the Game Boy, which obviously couldn't do much. Designs were very simple, and very direct. Now they just throw as much "cool" shit as they can onto each one. They're getting more and more complicated, and that's why they look less and less like Pokemon. Smugleaf looks cool though, so there's still hope.
AHH A shitton of new pokemon revealed!
New things: New pokedex looks like an ipod
New pokemon: magnemite but it's cogs & gears
Yellow crocodile, piggy bank, starly recoloring, zebra, and another pikachu rip-off, better than pachirisu though. And a fire thingy.

The pink one is probably an ugly baby form of Drowzee. Bird one looks way too much like a recolored Starly standing in the same pose as Honchkrow in its picture.
Legendaries are reportedly Fire (Reshiram) and Electric (Zekrom) with secondary Dragon type.
Zorua is an event-exclusive Pokemon obtained by trading an event Celebi from HG/SS.
I like the crocodile, zebra, and mouse thing.
Okay that fire guy is awesome.
Stop liking mouse pokemon, there are enough dammit akudood;
i like everything except the pink thingy and "gears".
the pink thing looks about as useful as luvdisk and "gears" is just....do i need to say...
digimon was the shit by the way. The wolf was cool, and Puppetmon was my favorite.
New pokemon are laughable, and a fire/fighting starter again????? REALLY??????????
Fuck you nintendo n_u

some of these aren't really that bad, but overall, a really disappointing new batch. so many of these are practically just revamped versions of old pokemon. ugh.
the dark dragons at the end are totally the beatles until their last result
the water ghost octopus with a crown and a mustache is KING
also polar bear with penor
also the stats on the grass evolution are awful, really really awful
holy christ these new ones are weird

uhhh what
I just looked through them again, and I've changed my mind a little bit. There's about 25 that I really like, 45 that are just terrible, and the other 86 are actually pretty decent. The legendaries though, good lord are they awful.
So really it's a mixed bag, like any generation after the originals. Slightly worse than R/S, but actually better than D/P in some ways.
To clear this up: There are no old gen pokemon in Isshu UNTIL after the E4. Like how it works with the mass outbreaks in the past games, except to a much further extent.
Also there are no older gen evolutions.
Also: The rom is leaked, not sure if I want to play it. I almost looked at the Isshu dex but I am trying to stay unspoiled, as it said in the pokemon peer interview, you are supposed to have the same feeling of exploration and excitement as you did in Gen1, so I am trying to hold true to it. Only thing I looked at are the starter Evos, and half of the legendaries.

I hate the legendaries so much
I tried to do that too (not look at the list), but I don't think it will really effect me that much. They'll have new names when I play, and I'll likely forget most of them by the time the game's out in the US.
Jesus christ the pokemon look just terrible.
The gear pokemon is just plain lazy. ALRIGHT LETS MAKE A POKEMON THAT JUST ADDS A PART EACH TIME IT EVOLVES

They actually made them look distinguishable from the original though. This gear thing just adds another gear in the first evolution and the third one just adds a crown spike. Gah
OK so I am playing the rom ONLY to hear the music and watch the opening theme: NO huge spoilers besides, right now the only patch available for the Anti-Piracy is to give yourself 999x rare candies to level up because you get no experience points after battles.
1: the music is glorious, they added REAL instruments to the background music (PIANO AND GUITARS IN THIS BITCH)
2: when your pokemon's HP is low: NEW FUCKING MUSIC STARTS and the usual beeps go along with the song!
Actually, I think the newer generation is an upgrade from D/P.
kono you get excited over the stupidest shit
I've been playing an imported cart for the past couple weeks or so. Caught almost every new Pokemon already.

You can challenge the elite four in any order you'd like now, they're all equally leveled befuddlement
Although you don't even battle the Champion the first time you face the Elite Four, he's later the last one you battle after the four.

once you get used to the new pokemon, you love them. it's also pretty refreshing to have NONE of the old pokemon available to you in the beef of the game, it forces you to use them. I always found myself building teams out of half old pokemon in the other gens. i guess it just makes the game feel more new.
I also like most of the new Pokemon. Especially in Gold/Silver, there was almost no new Pokemon available during most of the game and you're given mostly old ones.

Dugtrio sucks, yes, but Magneton is awesome (it's made up of multiple different parts that go well together) and Dodrio isn't bad (it has more change than just adding another head). The Gears are all just plain cogs, with a simple face on just one of them. Though they don't have the Electric type like Magnemite, most of their attacks are Electric-type.
It lacks the variety of electric type Pokemon. The only thing that I could get would be the one that knows levitate. I usually have at least one electric type Pokemon in my party.

Both it and the tarantula are available in a cave between the cities housing 5th and 6th gyms. That same cave also houses Gear which, although pure-Steel, learns more Electric moves than any other type. In White version, you also can get Zekrom and the Genie Voltolos.
I am a big fan of Burungenu or whatever.
pokemon need moustaches.
also blue duck, bear with icicle beard, seasonal dear.
and all the starters. i hated all the gen 4 starters
