Pokémon It's the Pokemon thread - Part 1

[Matt Mortem]

I bought mine at Gamestop the day it came out. I don't regret it at all. It's a really fun game. I haven't played in a couple of weeks, but I really should.

 

[Duke]

I'll be on the lookout for it when I go game shopping later today.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Has there been any word of a pre-order bonus with Black and White 2 yet?

 

[Benstamania]

None as of yet.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Damn. I'm hoping something cool comes with it

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

so will i need to play B&W to understand B&W 2 plot


and also is there anyway to get the kanto starters at the start of B&W without having 2 copys. i have a mate who has finished the game i was gonna borrow it and migrate the 3 from fire red to his game and then trade to mine

I wasn't aware Pokemon had any kind of discernible plot? I imagine in B&W2 there will be a bunch of references to Team Plasma from B&W1.

From what I understand, both Plasmas should give you an idea of the original Team's intents. BW1 did leave the developers with something of a sequel hook to work with:

Spoiler

N and his dragon are reported as being sighted in a land full of dragon types. Of all the regions, Hoenn had the most dragons. So, that sort of provided them with a way of doing a 3rd gen remake if they wanted.

I finally reached the Pal Park in Heart Gold. Now I'm breeding Charmanders and Houndours like crazy.

So anyone else getting Black and White 2? I'm mostly getting it for the World Tournament event. Seriously, being able to [BLACKOUT]battle all the Gym Leaders and Champions from the past[/BLACKOUT] is awesome.

Here are some videos for those who want get a glimpse of how it works:

Wow that world tournament sounds/looks so freaking awesome. Seriously.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm buying version 2 on day one. It's gonna be a good game and the world tournament is gonna rock.

 

[craigdbfan]

Definitely a smart purchase. I like how jam packed B&W2 seems to be with features some players have been wanting for sometime now.

Some really great additions here.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm really looking forward to it. I played Black into the ground. I need a new adventure.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I hate the player characters in this one. They look so dumb.

 

[Lily Adler]

Ah yes, the lifeguard and sailor moon.

A new, rare, Pokemon, on the horizon:

It's about two years old, but I love this orchestra version of the Kanto Gym Leader theme.

It wouldn't be too much hassel for me to breed you some starters.

Press skip when skip comes up.

thats a great offer mate, i have them all bred on my ss, its getting them traded over.

i seriously do not get why Nintendo insist on the only trading after conditions crap

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it's very amusing. t:

[craigdbfan]

haha that was a funny read.

All those questions are the reason why I love Pokemon so much.

There's always a cloud of mystery floating around their world. I always just assume they're living in the far, far future where they've achieved a resource based economy.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I could read lists like that all day.
