Worldwide Connectivity Leaked For Pokémon Black & White

[MissAshley]

They look terrible.


I long for some cataclysmic event that wipes out all existence of Pokemon beyond Gold and Silver. But I realise that might be pushing it a bit.

Actually, yeah it would be pushing it as we wouldn't have (reasonable) EVs, natures, abilities, double-battles, meaningful held items, the physical/special split for individual moves, and a many, many moves for types which lacked so much as a handful.

Dislike the designs all you like, but the games themselves have gotten better and better with each generation.

It's dumbass ones like those that you pointed out that make me laugh at this series now, I loved red/blue and gold/silver but most beyond those just look ridiculous and furthermore a re usually just clones of a previous one.

Also, how is it that baby versions of already established ones keep popping up? How would people not have known about them until the later games etc, that always puzzled me.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

What the bloody hell are those Pokemons on the cover?

One looks like a retarded son of a monkey who had buttsex with a squirrel of some sort, and then there's....

A BUBBLEGUM BALL?! A PINK TURTLE WITHOUT A SHELL? A SNAIL ON LEGS!?

At least the new legendaries look kind of cool. Well, zekrom looks OK, anyway. And I like the fire-pig starter. But other than that... Damn these things look odd.

Come on! Professor Willow? Professor Spruce? We need trees!

Professor Wood.
"Hey kids! I have something small and fuzzy to show you!"

 

[KrazyKain]

wait.. they DONT have online battling yet? this seems like a given....

 

[Marter]

I kind of like the Chinchilla thing, and the random battle seems like it'll be a good feature to have.

 

[rokkolpo]

A "big pink beach ball"....

Really?

you mean jigglypuff.

[obligatory feminism remark about how as soon as the professor is female, she has to be a hot young thing too.]

Not that I'm complaining. ^_^;; I like pretty... But like, I assume the reason they didn't make the male professors hot is because being old* gives them scientific credibility (haha, "Pokemon" and "credibility" - you know what I mean). I'm sure nobody has a problem with an older, female professor - the age would still lend credibility, but they don't want to miss out on the marketing advantage an attractive female character would have over the same Professor-type character turned female.

Noo! They broke the chain of tree-based names for the professors! And now have opted a name after a butterfly!

I know! I am so disappointmented. Also ninja'd my post, curses.

No they didn't. That's not the english name..

Of course if they were hot Old Professors, it would act as extreme feitsh fuel for some...

...

Oh. Uhm, that would be a bad image for the game, I guess.

Bah in my day we had 151 pokemon and if you wanted to play together you had to get a load of wires plugged in and sacrifice a goat to Nintendo.

You young uns have it so easy nowadays.

I too remember a time before Pokemon became a corporate whore. IMO, the series ended after Gold and Silver. Every subsequent game has been the exact same thing over and over.

Nope, it's still tree-based. I believe Araragi translated to Yew. So the chain continues.

 

[elricik]

Is having a female professor really such a big deal? I mean you could play as a girl in several of the pokemon games already. Is this just to prove that women can do science too?

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

sweeeet!
the online battle system sounds tasty,
But I'm growing increasingly concerned about the ugliness of the pokemon and the prescence of cars and such.

 

[Bek359]

My brother thinks that the pink beach-ball thing looks like a Barbie-fied headcrab. I am inclined to agree with him.

 

[xyrafhoan]

I wonder if the pink beach ball thing is a pre-evolution of drowsee, being a "dream eater" Pokemon. I mean, dream eater is pretty much drowsee's signature move. But it is hideous. God, it is so hideous. The only Pokemon that are still okay looking in that bunch is hihidaruma (just for the fact that it looks like some crack version of Donkey Kong) and the grass starter. Maybe.

...Okay, kill em with fire, these ARE really bad, and I managed to live through gen 4 still feeling enthusiastic.

 

[Lizardon]

A gear and a beach ball? Really are they even trying anymore? We've already had monkey, bird and giraffe Pokemon. The designs aren't bad but they're unoriginal.

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

The only good Pokemon were the first 151. >:{
GRRRRRRRRR

Snake: Otacon, what have you got for me.
Otacon: Snake, I've got intel on your next target. You're headed to a previously unexplored region called Isshu.
Snake: Isshu? Is that in Japan?
Otacon: Actually, we're not quite sure where it is.
Snake: ...
Otacon: Something wrong?
Snake: If you don't know where it is, how I can I get there?
Otacon: The same way you get anywhere else at the start of a mission. We'll worry about the details.
Snake: Hmmmmm...fine.
Otacon: Once there, we'll need you to confirm the existence of a new model of Metal Gear.
Snake: Another one? How many of those things can they possibly build?
Otacon: As long as people keep paying for it, they'll keep making them.
Snake: ...
Otacon: If you can confirm our intel, we'll then need you to destroy any prototypes and the production facilities before they're finished. We think we're running on a very limited time scale.
Snake: What's the problem? Why can't I just blow it up if they finish?
Otacon: We think they're using a very special, nearly indestructible material for it's armor. If it's allowed to be completed, it'll be nearly impossible to defeat.
Snake: They've found a way to make Adamantium real?
Otacon: No, not Adamantium. Nintendium.
Snake: ...
Otacon: All the equipment you'll need will be waiting for you at the launch site before you leave. If you need more information, you have our codex frequencies. Or I'll probably ring you up at assorted intervals to check on your progress anyway.
Snake: When I get back, we're going to have a serious talk about all the crazy $#*^ these missions get me put through.
