If I ever were to own a DS I will definitely get this.

Sounds like everything great about the previous games but made even better.

Does this game's online features still require a WEP connection? Because I'm sick of not being able to go online in SoulSilver because I have a WPA connection.

Definitely picking up Black in five days' time. Although, living in New Zealand, I'm not sure if I'll get the Liberty Pass... A shame. Victini looks awesome. =S

So there's an actual story to this?

Like anyone actually plays the game for the story, but I'm now curious to see how that works out.

lower-level Pokémon get more experience for defeating higher-level enemies, and you gain even more experience if you swap your team during a fight.
So that's why I seemed to be getting less and less experience for each battle...

I bought White today and I'm liking it! I have to admit they have certainly improve it compare the last games, even the first gym battle was challanging (stupid gym leader spamming Work up).

My friend got this today and we looked through the Pokemon list and I find it hilarious that there are some new Pokemon based on Icecream cones and one call Chandelurr or something and based on a chandelier.

It seems like quite a good game still. I think I'd miss getting my Magicarp though and slowly levelling it up like I have in all the previous ones.

This looks to be interesting. Pokemon mixed with SNES-era JRPG stuff? Sounds about perfect to me.

My copy of Black was supposed to come today, but it got delayed until tomorrow... But a bunch of my friends are getting Black and White so its gonna be great once we all have it.

God me too. I wasted an entire day trying to fix my DS to accept my WPA connection so I could get one of the shiny Legendary Dogs. I only noticed that once I'd wasted terribly unfair amount of time that I needed a WEP connection.

A surprising number of my friends have picked this game up, so I suppose that I might too.
The only Pokemon game I've ever had was Gold on the Gameboy Colour, so I'm interested to see how the series has changed.

[small]Now where's that blasted DS gone?[/small]

The one problem with pokemon games.
It's the same game over and over!
But I love em =D
That's not entirely unusual for Nintendo games.

Does anyone know if this'll run on a first-gen DS?

I got one when they first came out and it's still alive (give or take a few pixels), so I might just get this at some point.

in his review he states:
---- "You won't see a single Pikachu until well after you've beaten the game,"

would i get in trouble from The Escapist for saying that he's WRONG? There are actually 2 Pickachu in the game before u complete it, neither u can battle, but one is on a poster and another in Castelia City.

In game reference: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Castelia_Pikachu.png

Please don't hit me Escapist! ='(

Otherwise I LOVE the new game. I can't believe there are so many Pokemon I actually LIKE. For once a game where I like most of the Fire Pokemon.

On a side note his "one yearns for the functionality of the Poketch from Diamond & Pearl" is something I really, REALLY, couldn't agree with more.
