Pokemon Black & White To Feature Only Entirely New Pokemon
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
This is awesome. One of my favorite things about RSE was that it was mostly new Pokémon and most of the older ones were gone from the start of the game. This sounds even better though, for three reasons:
1. They are ALL new this time, no old ones! Finally, no fucking Zubat, no fucking Geodude, and no fucking Tentacool!
2. They will come back when you beat the E4? That's good, it means you won't be stuck sitting there trading with yourself for hours to fill the National Pokédex.
3. I always love that feeling of not knowing that to expect, and now it'll be there all the time. No more gym leaders pulling out Machoke in the fighting gym or Gloom in the grass gym. Yes we know how to destroy those already, so you're boring me.

OT: They show up when you beat the game?
What, were they all hiding and watching you, waiting to jump out at you as soon as you've beaten the Pokemon league?

Heh, how long into the game do you think we'll get before finding the "new" zubat?mjc0961 said:
I'll be fine with the first playthrough of the game having only new Pokemon, but only as long as they're not using the same Archetypes that they recycle, such as The Pidgey, the Fire, Grass, Water starters, the elemental Legendary trio, The Insect type with three evolutions, etc.
Interesting. Cool that you can get them to show up on a second playthrough. I might consider getting this one... haven't played a Pokemon game since Blue.
Think set collection with semi-random items + RPG stat growth and turn-based battle strategy. It's like a cross between Xbox Live achievements, Diablo, and rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Big_Bang_Theory_episodes_(season_2)#Episodes].The_root_of_all_evil said:
The new Zubat is almost certaintly a psychic/flying pokemon called Koromori. The pokemon site Serebii has information on all announced pokemon, so check it otu if you're interested.

Apparently, they're making lots of unique type combinations for this generation. I'm looking forward to using a Dark/Ground crocodile, and a Fire/Dragon is long overdue, so horray for that. It is a bit dissapointing that in the new desert region we won't be getting Cacnea or Trapinch, and it also means we'll be seeing a fair few more rock and ground pokemon, which are common types already. What we really need is more Fire, Ice and some not so fantastic Dragon pokemon. >.> And enough with the waters already!

I don't know how I feel about this, it might be a good thing, entirely fresh and all.
But they better add a lot more Pokemon (somewhere around 150) than they usually do in a new version if the game will still work right without oldies.
