I'm just curious on how this sequel is going to work. My guess is that it's going the Gold/Silver route and actually making the game take place after the events of the first one and expanding on the story. But that reminds me of something. Could there be a point in the game where you fight the main protagonist of BW1? Maybe they'll make it so you can import your Pokemon into him so it'll seem like you're fighting yourself.

Don't get the Genesect hate. Awesome design. Like a robot bug, just as it should be. My only complaint is that it's purple.

It's a bug mecha. It's stupid. Feel bad for liking it. FEEL BAD

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Bug mecha? Do you know how awesome that sounds?

You are no son of mine Billychu. Also, get back to studying to slacker.

 

[Emitan]

Terrible.

Spoiler

Actually Medabots seems kind of cool

 

[Busaiku]

And it was great!

 

[cvxfreak]

Should have been called Black Sapphire and White Ruby for massive damage.

 

[DarkLegion]

You have no idea how much I would love that. That or they retcon his design.

Seriously, it looks like one of those capsule toys I used to have back when I was a kid!

 

[LeleSocho]

Maybe they'll remove Genosect before it's too late.

That would be awesome!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Don't get the Genesect hate. Awesome design. Like a robot bug, just as it should be. My only complaint is that it's purple.

Its design is just so goofy looking.

Why does its head look like a car?
Why did Team Plasma attach a gun to it?
Why does its art style not match other pokemon?

The idea of a Mecha Bug is awesome, they execution of that thing is generic though. Just bad art IMO.

 

[Inferno313]

Question: Which logo is for which? Is the Black Font and blue 2 for Black Version? It seems they switched Legendaries? The Zekrom looking form seems to be tied to Black Version, when Reshiram was on Black 1.

 

[Femmeworth]

Huh, I didn't realize that Game Freak was privately owned.

The Genesect hate is just crazy. Bug/steel Pokemon are awesome.

 

[Takao]

Terrible.

It made me think of:

GF could give it new forms. I thought Giratina looked awful in DP. Its new form for Platinum is better, at least the in-game sprite.

 

[Emitan]

I just can't get over how his name sounds like Icky

 

[J@hranimo]

MEDABOTS!!!! Go get your friends! lol

On-topic: Genosect is a really lame pokemon design, but they wouldn't just get rid of him would they?

 

[frostbyte]

I just can't get over how his name sounds like Icky

XD I love Medabots but this was just one thing I couldn't stop notcing.

Spoiler

When will they remake those awesome GBA Medabot RPGs?

edit: And man, guys, Genosect is awesome. It's like the Heracross evo that never was. Geez, there's need to be more awesome bug pokemon.

 

[Emitan]

I need to play those! Pokémon but with robots sounds super fun because I love customizing parts on something like in Custom Robo.

 

[udivision]

I thought they changed his name to Iggy Teneson in the American dub. Okay not really but I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[Azure J]

Totally unexpected but completely welcomed series of events here. Looks like I need to put more time into my Vanilla Black team before I upgrade to Ultimate though.

In for the Darker Than Black version.

This.

 

[Emitan]

I thought they changed his name to Iggy Teneson in the American dub.

Did they? I watched a few episodes and I thought it was still Ikki. Maybe I was hearing wrong. I have troubles understanding people for some reason.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Predicting a simultaneous/close worldwide release.

I really wish Nintendo would do that but I have a feeling they will just push the release date closer to the Holidays

 

[Styles]

Do you think they will introduce tri-typing in this? That would just be messed up though.

 

[Busaiku]

No, he was still Ikki.

 

[Berordn]

Do you think they will introduce tri-typing in this?

Don't expect any new gameplay features or Pokemon, outside of new Form(e)s. It's still a Gen V game.

Also they've said a few times that they'd probably never add tri-types 'mons or dual-type attacks.

 

[Takao]

there's a new medabots abridged series in town

it's not completely terrible

i kind of want to do one called "dat show with duh robots" where i go ghetto fabulous

XD I love Medabots but this was just one thing I couldn't stop notcing.

Spoiler

The GBA RPG that actually got localized was a remake of a GB game, lol.

There's a Medabots title for 3DS in development. Like the last couple of DS, and GBA games it probably won't be localized.

Did they? I watched a few episodes and I thought it was still Ikki. Maybe I was hearing wrong. I have troubles understanding people for some reason.

His name is Ikki Tenyrou, pronounced "Icky Tenreyo" in the dub.

 

[BassForever]

I assume that Genosect will have a new version in this game along with Kyruem getting his fire/electric versions. My guess is it will be what Genosect originally was before Team Plasma mutated him into a robot bug. Would be very similar to how Mewtwo was the clone of Mew made by Team Rocket. The real question would be would this new Genosect form be pokemon #650 or more like Deoxys/Shaymin/Girantina where the different forms share a number.

 

[Neiteio]

Do you think they will introduce tri-typing in this? That would just be messed up though.

It's far more likely Kyu-Reshiram and Kyu-Zekrom will just become Ice/Fire and Ice/Electric, respectively. (And correct me if I'm wrong, but those type combinations haven't been done yet.)

 

[frostbyte]

Wait, Custom Robo is like that? *rushes off to find out what it is*

and by golly, yes, customizing those parts was so so addictive. and the battle system was so damn fun. and the amount of paths in the story was amazing.

It was my second most played game on GBA for a good reason.

Oh what seriously? That was a GB game. Mindblown. That game had so much depth and my 10 year old self just loved it.

Sigh. so many good games left unlocalised. Not to mention 3DS is region locked. ;_;

 

[WARP10CK]

Ok DS hmm WAIT WHAT ????

 

[Boogiepop]

Fridge Rotom, unless you're counting type ordering as "different."

 

[freoleo29]

Notice how the crystal colours are on the logos red and blue
i think hoenn region will be included.
or at least i hope

 

[TheOGB]

Ah, Medabots and Pokemon. I miss my childhood.

Fridge Rotom, unless you're counting type ordering as "different."

Did he say combination or permutation?

yuck, hoenn was boring. especially that poor excuse for a treetop village.

Thank you for sharing :lol

 

[Berordn]

Would you rather a story continuation that will likely take place in a new region or a Hoenn rehash?

 

[PokéKong]

Maybe they'll connect some Pokemon by evolution which weren't previously, isn't it generally agreed that it's pretty ridiculous that Alomomola and Bouffalant aren't evolved forms of Luvdisc and Tauros?

They've done it before, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan weren't technically related before Tyrogue came along.

 

[TheOGB]

Isn't it the same shit with a 2 at the end instead of changing to another color?

That was a whole new generation that gave them the opportunity to introduce the missing link, they probably won't get that chance here.

It is pretty stupid though, that's for sure.

 

[BooJoh]

We're getting what's likely an actual story sequel, instead of adding battle frontier type modes and swapping some catchable Pokemon and calling it Grey, and that's lazy?

 

[Regulus Tera]

WHAT THE FUCK

Yup. Sounds about right. And here I thought the announcment was going to be groundbreaking. Perhaps an innovative pokemon game, but that's asking way too much.

 

[smr00]

For the DS!!! Good I would rather be playing it on DSi XL then the 3ds.

Fucking love my XL.

Well now i know i won't have to buy a 3DS this year, im sure 3DS has some great games but if there is no pokemon there is no reason for me to rush out and buy one.

Well to be fair, nobody thought Nintendo would be that dumb. Then again it is Nintendo.

 

[AnkiRendan]

The U.S Pokemon site announced this before Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition? Understandable, but...STILL. GIVE US BOTH OF THEM, YOU BASTARDS.
