That really shows you how old Alder is, even though he looks so young (or has a family heritage for quick-breedin').

 

[TheOGB]

Alder looks old to me. Case in point,

Spoiler

if he were actually a young badass instead of an old badass he wouldn't have sprained his foot when he jumped off a cliff.

 

[Berordn]

All his artwork and appearances in the anime give him old man lines on his face too.

 

[Electivirus]

I wake up to all of this amazing news. My god.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The anime seems to gets it. He's still got a more confusing hairstyle than Brendan, though, and the carpet sure doesn't match dem drapes.

 

[spindashing]

welp, according to 4chan, the female character from BW1/Touko is

Spoiler

back.

Spoiler

It changes on which gender you pick. If you pick the male character, you'll see Hilda and viceversa

edit: Honestly, it might be BS...

Edit #2: >20:00; The previous game's playable character is

out looking for N

? please say yes

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Not another case of the wandering champion!

This is assuming he/she's the champion now, anyway (which should be the case if Alder's done-done).

[Sianos]

Being able to transfer Pokemon as soon as you get the C-Gear is he biggest deal for me. SLOWPOKE HERE WE COME. <333

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Being able to transfer in the early-game is something Masuda would never do. This new director just wants to give players a lot of freedom, which is the right thing to do with stuff like transferring.

 

[Ushojax]

Are the new player characters supposed to look so much like the ones from B/W?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

You think they do? They're similar in some ways.

Someone took this screenie from the intro, emulated in Japan (!).

The colour schemes and the faces look really similar to me. Like they just got new hair.

 

[TheOGB]

Maybe they turn out to be cousins?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Apparently: post-game includes you, the player, meeting up with a special someone. I'm wondering how long after the E4 this takes place.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Man, I really hope Munchlax is confirmed to be catchable pre-Elite Four. I really need a good Normal-type to round out my team.

I was hoping for Looker again.

Hmm...

Spoiler

looks like they're in the ruins of the castle?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

According to Serebii: he also battles you right there, with

Spoiler

a lvl70 Zekrom (in Black 2)

.

Suspicious, innit?

 

[TheOGB]

And this all happens after

Spoiler

fighting Ghetsis and Achroma, right?

 

[Busaiku]

Why do we still not know version exclusives.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Information's hard to reel in from Japan. In the meantime: someone's uploaded the game intro, title, and opening errata onto NicoNico Douga. Since I'm smart and have an account on there already, I can tell you this: the title screen arrangement—is awesome. It's been extended to have at least a few new segments of development, and the sound quality is darn great.

 

[ColtraineGF]

That opening is awesome. I expected it to lead into a different song though, lol. Much better than BW's arrange.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I wonder if it's sequenced, too, which would explain why everything sounds like it was recorded live.

Aspertia City's music actually developed a bit more than I thought (little difference, though), but there's a new piano piece at the start as well.

 

[Cjdamon042]

If there's one thing that this generation of Pokemon has done best (aside from being an awesome game in general), it's shown us how epic the 3DS generation will sound. The music in BW (and from what I've heard in B2W2) is personally my favourite in the franchise (with GS/HGSS a close second) and all the new things they did with the music in BW impressed me so much. I personally can't wait to hear what they do in Gen VI.

 

[Exterminieren]

Seems to me that the big loose ends that haven't been tidied up are the previous MCs, and various legendaries which have been hinted at.

BW2 certainly seem to have much fuller postgames than BW did.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I agree.

Besides the music, I also like the "epic-ness" of it. In other words, the camera angles when you're walking around and in cutscenes kind of gives the game a much bigger scope.

 

[Tyeforce]

So have the regi's been confirmed in the game yet?

they're the only pokemon you can only get legit in RSE :U

What? Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were in Platinum.

 

[Frost_Ace]

What? Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were in Platinum.

only if you had the regigigas from the movie though.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The music's not the only sound aspect that's impressive. Kageyama and Ichinose have been hard at work on the gradual layering of channels and sounds in-game, and places like Tourmaline Cave and Chargestone Cave now have additional sound touches (for example: the music going down a key every time you go down a floor). Cool stuff.

Post-game is also rumored to be interesting, and it'll probably be the more interesting part of the game.

More details on getting the cover legendaries inbound. Indeed:

Spoiler

you go meet N at his ruined castle on Victory Road&#8212;then it's off to Dragonspiral Tower to capture either Zekrom or Reshiram, before meeting Kyurem in the Giant Chasm and, ultimately, fusing the two together for the final product. Then you fight something Kyurem

!

In other words: something more involved than normal.

Why do Hilbert/ Hilda not have their dragon any more?

Didn't this happen in B/W?

I don't remember it happening. Either way, it's the first time I noticed such a thing. Wouldn't go hurt to check right now.

EDIT: Yeah, that's always been there. Shucks, I thought it was new.

I love it so much...seriously. Dat intro...

Hoping the credits music impresses me even more than BW's did. BW's ending just blew me away as I really wasn't expecting it to sound the way it did, or even act out the way it did. It was so good.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Can't tell who would have done this arrangement of the title track. Ichinose's done similar stuff in the past, and so has Kageyama. Either way, a lot of the other stuff sounds like Ichinose, though there's still no way to confirm this stuff.

Honest to goodness thought I stumbled into the Final Fantasy 12 soundtrack for the first 30 seconds of that for some reason.

Pretty freakin' awesome song in general though.

Should I be concerned that we still haven't heard anything about a Battle Frontier? I really, really hope they didn't decide the World Championship or w/e was a suitable replacement or anything.
