:O

KAWAII DESU!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

4chan's /vp/ thread says it's past the E4, now. Prepare for imminent post-game spoilers!

There's a live-blog, chronologically-ordered, on Serebii right now. I'm using that to track progress ATM, though Pokejungle's got a categorical live-blog right now.

 

[stalker]

While you speak truth, Drill Dozer disagrees. Game Freak just didn't utilize their magic for some reason.

That was the best level in Drill Dozer!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Not the best music in Drill Dozer, though. Doom Dozer's theme is simply outrageous.

Live-blogs are creeping along.

 

[The Lamp]

I'm shocked. People actually care about the story in Pokemon? I know Black & White had a better story than usual but...still....wow. To me the novelty was just finding new Pokemon (which is probably why BW2 doesn't seem that interesting to me right now).

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Hey guys: get in this stream right now. Elesa's gym music is so amazing to listen to.

She just flipped on dem switches. Bringing the fights to dem bitches!

 

[Regulus Tera]

The new champion is cute.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

BOP BOP BOP HOOOOOORAY AY AY AY

Lol. Love it.

 

[The Lamp]

I swear....the background music in that stream of Elesa's gym stage is mixed with the instrumentals of WINGS by Utada Hikaru. How very odd.

 

[Exterminieren]

That Team Plasma theme remix.

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

THIS PLASMA BATTLE THEME IS AMAZING! HOLY ASS-CRACKERS!

Started as fast power metal, changed into heavier stuff, and then into hard techno-rock! Ichinose for life!

Ooh: nice usage of Emotion, too.

 

[Berordn]

Oh holy shit.

Someone please tell me there's a music rip, floating around out there. New soundtrack cannot come soon enough.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Going to be a while before that happens, unfortunately. But a good deal of the new music sounds really-good, especially the new gym arrangements and, of course, Team Plasma.

 

[Kokonoe]

Someone spoiled who the champion is for this game for me. Black and White 2 is my least anticipated Pokemon game yet, but still.

Either way, the way people made it sound, it sounded like it was something much more significant.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Low expectations on the new stuff, guys. It helps a lot.

Some people think that the area the stream just went to (cave with a DW (?) Poke) might be a sign of Secret Bases in this game. Fascinating.

That was the Hidden Burrow, where Skill Link Minccino can be caught, yeah.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Figures. Some of the information coming from 4chan and the live-blogs is probably going to be disproven later, since it's all second-hand from 2ch outside of the stream(s).

Best to wait this day out before anything can be confirmed.

 

[Exterminieren]

Here's an interesting thing.

Spoiler

When you encounter Black/ White Kyurem, Pokebeach reckons that you can't catch it.
We've also heard nothing about the region defrosting, or anything about N.
Very strange...

Well, we do know that

Spoiler

the Zorua that's given to you as a gift is from N.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Serebii's saying that the player can receive N's

Spoiler

Sigilyph

. Hmm. We're going to have some conflicting logs, no doubt.

Time for Clay's Gym theme. God is this great. Low brass and slap-bass. It sounds like an old remix of Needle Man's theme I listen to every now and then.

 

[Berordn]

Either way, not being able to catch Kyurem at least points to there being an actual postgame this time. That's enough to look forward to, personally.

 

[Exterminieren]

That Driftveil Gym remix is great. Really liking the different variations on the gym themes.

What was the Castelia Gym like? Missed it on the stream. Has the puzzle changed at all?

 

[CornBurrito]

If I got Pokemon Black, should I get White 2?

Also I'll be starting with Snivvy for sure this time. I hope there are more double/triple battles as well.

The story from the previous version continues with the same color, if that concerns you at all.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Castelia's theme was cave-like, mimicking the whole silk-web look and mechanics of the gym.

Nimbasa's theme was total Lady Gaga-style backing beats, with a lot of '90s-esque backing beats and sound samples.

This one, of course, is just great.

 

[TheOGB]

Holy shit, so every gym has its own gym music arrangement?! Fuck yeah!

 

[Brazil]

Spoiler

Serebii also reported on

Spoiler

N's Zorua

earlier. This isn't a conflicting report; you probably get both.

 

[Exterminieren]

That's what Masuda said the intention was, yeah. Don't think it enormously matters, though.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Holy shit, so every gym has its own gym music arrangement?! Fuck yeah!

I liked this kind of specific arrangement better than unique Gym Battle arrangements, of which there aren't any. Total wildman.

That's not a conflicting report, no. Wasn't explicitly referring to that, though.

 

[CornBurrito]

Black 2 it is. I prefer the cover legend anyway.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Clay's Gym actually resembles an ore mine now. Time for the battle!

 

[Exterminieren]

So it looks like the theory that N released all his Pokémon each time he battled you is basically confirmed then.

I claim his Scraggy.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

SDevil would like to have a talk with you about custody over said Scraggy, Exter!

These gym theme rearrangements are so unique and interesting. I wonder who did each one.

 

[CornBurrito]

Hmm... I think I'm going to avoid spoiling myself any further.

 

[Exterminieren]

Too late. TOO LATE.

You can have his Tympole.

If you're good.

 

[Finalow]

can't fucking wait.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Pokemon World Tournament music is pretty cool. Sounds like a Kageyama piece, though it's hard to tell with the brassier themes.

I think I'm finally getting to listen to the actual Rival music, now (or perhaps a Tournament variant). It sounds a good deal better.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Too late. TOO LATE.

If you're good.

Fight me.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

You can use WiFi Battle for that, kiddos. I'm doing the do at the moment.

 

[Ultima_5]

Wait, so is hoenn confirmed?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wait, so is hoenn confirmed?

Absolutely not

 

[J@hranimo]

Wait, so is hoenn confirmed?

We don't know yet >_<

Expect it to not be in the game though to maintain sanity.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Whoa, another Legendary in BW2...

Spoiler

It's Uxie

 

[blue_phazon]

This tidbit about Random Matchup from Serebii makes me super happy: "A new feature of the Random Matchup and Tournaments prevents you from battling for a while if you disconnect on your opponent"

Do we know anything else about Random Wifi?

 

[Exterminieren]

Wait, so is hoenn confirmed?

Absolutely nothing past the League is confirmed. Our main leaker appears to have gone to bed.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Serebii: new town reported post-game;

Spoiler

Yamaji Town

Huh.

 

[Ultima_5]

Absolutely not

We don't know yet >_<

I honestly don't want it to be in here... I want a remake on 3ds =/

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Achroma battle on the stream now. His battle theme is frilly and over-the-top. Ichinose arrange indeed.

 

[Exterminieren]

This Achroma theme music (?) is pretty good.

Liking the battlefield with the spotlights and lasers all over the place.
