Really now? Well, if that's so, then that's very interesting, and I stand corrected. In that case, I'll have to drag out the old PC over the weekend and see if I can't find my old chat logs. My memory can be bad at the best of times, but I distinctly recall someone telling me after the fact that they had been sent that info from Melkor. If it wasn't him, then it would've been another fansite webmaster, though I haven't the foggiest of who else it might have been.

We received the Melkor information. Joe had another source.
 
Yeah, Serebii has his own sources.

SEREBII CONFIRMED works for a reason. He fucks up, and his attempts at drawing conclusions are often terrible, but he's the only Pokemon webmaster who I'd trust with leaks and rumours.
 
I hope the "70 new pokemon" rumor is false, since this would include again 10 shitty legendaries (half of them unobtainable of course) and the 5 pokemon we already know and their evolutions.
So really 50. :(

Then again Iwata's comments about the worlwide release and translation being related to the number of pokemons scare me.
 
Looks like a fake news source.

I know that silly d:


No one believed that before, did they?

I mean comeon.

Yeah, I know you guys received it from Melkor, along with (IIRC) WPM, Arty2, Top, and several others. *shrugs* Given that Melkor is still around and apparently still has his job, in retrospect his leak was probably sanctioned at some level anyway.

SEREBII CONFIRMED works for a reason.
Which is kind of ironic, since I'm pretty sure that meme only started after he was caught out using a Black & White ROM, after having claimed he'd received his game from Japan early.
 
Anyone see this yet?

Is there a place where I can read Marlon(final gym leader in BW2)'s quotes in english? The french version is full of gay sexual innuendo it's hilarious. I doubt he says the same things in english.

Comes the biggest Pokemon hoax ever.


Edit: Annnnddddd it turns out the kid had no idea...apparently. I take it all back..sort of.

Uwaaa seeing this makes me glad that fans aren't in charge of Pokémon designs, nothing against creativity they are good but they just give me nightmares looking at them D:

アトルエエ / Finches   フォルム X
アトルノー / Fincho   フォルム Y

I'd actually like some sort of Darwin's finches inspired Pokémon that has different forms.
 
Daaaaaaaaaamn it.

I just started Black. And I'm hooked. It's so bland and cheesy, I wanna kill myself. But can't since I can't stop playing :'(

Worst thing is, after Black, I wanna try... WHITE 2.
I'm so doomed. :'(
Why is it bland and cheesy? And you really want to kill yourself?
 
I've always thought of Bulbagarden as something that is... well, a bit Wikipedia-ish when it comes to a lot of things, and especially Bulbapedia (who'd thought?), and sometimes I don't really feel like talking about who's right, or who's better. If I want only confirmed information, it's up to me to check. If I want rumours, it's the same thing. Reporting on a rumour does not make anyone "bad" to me.

I'd rather just get on with it and treat them all as the same - if it's confirmed, good. If it's not, I'm OK with it. I don't want to see a war.

Truth to be told, though, I'm getting a bit crazy at thinking up "what's next, after the starters evolve". Given Gen V, anything happens. Fake fan art is fake, though.
 
You couldn't tell that was fake? The artwork has severe artifacting, but the main screenshot is pixel-perfect...

It wasn't presented as a crystal-clear image when everyone got excited about it. It was blurry and almost identical to the real scans we're accustomed to getting, plus it was circulated just a few days before big BW2 news was expected to drop.

Believe it or not; the reason it was ousted as a fake was that the Japanese in the screenshot was shoddy. After that, the artist stepped forward and presented the clear image I linked.
 
Wally was the rival for gen 3.

if i recall correctly

  • you only battle him twice
  • he does not have a starter pokemon that beats yours
that chump ain't no rival. it's like, one of the biggest problems with RSE, no rivals -_-

I was pining for a RSE remake because I was hoping they'd fix the rival issue by giving us a new one (or at least making the existing ones better)

He's still more of a rival than Brendan and May since they give up halfway through. Wally ends up having the team that can rival yours, almost. (His Gardevoir ends up capped at 57, but it's still higher than any other trainer up to that point.)
 
Well your rival is your gendered counter-part. So It would be Wally + Brendan/May

It does make me wonder how they'd handle it in a remake. If Brendan/May get fleshed out to the point of being one of the half-rivals like Bianca and Lucas/Dawn in DPPt, maybe Wally would get the other starter at some point, just to be consistent.
