Who's excited about the new music, guys? Some of it sounds pretty cool, though I'm indifferent to the new rival theme.

 

[gosox333]

Betcha anything we'll have the first early recievers posting info by this time tomorrow.

Hell, it could even happen any time now. If anything were to leak today, it'd be most likely to do so right around now.

You know I am. I'll add a link to your Supermusic Complete thread in the OP once it's done.

 

[Thores]

The ending of Black/White pretty much outed they were going to do a sequel, so why didn't they just keep the two kids from the previous outing/BW and just age them two years or whatever!? WHY!? They look 20x better than the kids here. :|

Because then they'd rob us the opportunity of fighting a "Champion Hilbert/Hilda" with a team of Level 85+ Pokemon during the postgame.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

You know I am. I'll add a link to your Supermusic Complete thread in the OP once it's done.

Sure thing. Any coverage of that would be neat, and be sure to link to the Music Appreciation thread when that's posted.

 

[ivysaur12]

That opening video is pretty hot. I want this, gah!

 

[Inukage]

According to the new scans, the first Pokemon you encounter is a Shiny Patrat!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

They're not that generous. Can't you read the |OT| tag?!

 

[Korosenai]

A+, Scrafty!

Subbed and ready for some spoilers from people who import.

 

[Busaiku]

According to the new scans, the first Pokemon you encounter is a Shiny Patrat!

This is my game!

 

[gosox333]

Hoo boy, guide leaks!

First 3 towns, a route, and a screen of the map shown so far.

Legit spoilers:

Spoiler

Looks like you access Shizui town from Undella, and that you travel from Virbank to Castelia via underwater passage

 

[ivysaur12]

Moar spoilers, please.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

That's how I thought you might get to and from the new locations. Fascinating.

 

[gosox333]

Seribii's got all the stuff on his site. I guess it's not the guide, but a magazine that previewed the guide. So that's all we're getting for now.

But it's way better than what we had before.

 

[Inukage]

One of the biggest improvements so far is being able to see the Pokémon catchable in the area!

 

[MetalGuardian]

Excellent. I always look forward to perusing Serebii all day when a new Pokemon game launches in Japan

I hope this has some other neat features or easter eggs or whatever that we don't know about yet. Like an overhaul of EV and IV training!

...

..... sigh

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

First problem: Serebii. Can't really trust the guy for news these days after a few episodes he's had, though that shiny Patrat better be legit.

I like being able to see a Route's Pokemon line-up. I'd rather not change EVs and IVs, though.

Watch Serebii get a "Purchased" copy of the game as soon as the Rom comes out...

 

[ivysaur12]

One of my favorite Pokemon moments ever.

 

[MetalGuardian]

Hahaha what? I don't remember that

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

lolwutcool

I guess he'll always be a Shiny Patrat—in our hearts~.

 

[gosox333]

Do we have to use spoiler tags in here?

 

[Anth0ny]

Hahaha what? I don't remember that

He claimed there was a tutorial mode at the beginning of the game where you don't gain experience.

It was actually an anti-piracy measure.

 

[Inukage]

Hahaha what? I don't remember that

^ Beaten

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Sparingly. Stuff like what you spoiler'd isn't really worthy of a tag, I think.

Woah woah woah.
What.

 

[shaowebb]

I rocked out with Oshawott last game and I may just do the same this game. Snivy is pretty enticing though, but man did my wife get screwed with the nature on hers. So long as I can still get a leavanny though I'll be set since that bug/grass type cleaned house for me most matches. Surprise poke-bros were also found in Thro and Scrafty.

I missed Unova. Feels good to go back there.

 

[watershed]

Man if Nintendo made this game available off the 3ds eshop I would be there day one.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Woah woah woah.
What.

Not on the actual overworld, but when using something like the map function. This could make me use the damn thing for once, which is surprising.

Really? I had no idea! Is there a screenshot out demonstrating this?

 

[FSLink]

What!? No, that's one of the only shinies I already have. :lol

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

[Busaiku]

GET RID OF IT NOW

 

[Thoraxes]

Damn, Pokemon claims its first casualty.

 

[Inukage]

There it is. Map function!

Your not supposed to post scans on Gaf.

 

[gosox333]

Oh shit.

Version Exclusives

Exclusive to Black 2:

Exclusive to White 2:

I'm confused. Does this mean...these are the only exclusives with regards to Gen V Pokemon only? But aren't Magmar/Electabuzz and their baby evolutions from Gen I and II-IV...?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Thank you.

Just go to Serebii and look at it.

That's just what we know so far.

 

[Magnus]

That's just what we know so far.

Ah. I was flippin out and suddenly thinking that all 490-whatever Pokemon were going to be available in each version of the game, minus those 6.

 

[gosox333]

Hot damn, there's some pretty good guys available really early on. Rioulu, Elekid/Magby, and Growlithe all before the second gym is amazing.

 

[Magnus]

So realistically, Sept/Oct NA release, or what?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Hot damn, there's some pretty good guys available really early on. Rioulu, Elekid/Magby, and Growlithe all before the second gym is amazing.

They must be doing it to give veterans a quick jump-start. Really going with a great early-game here.

 

[MidnightScott]

I'm not importing this time. I imported White back in 2010 at release in Japan and I enjoyed it but now I'm far too busy. I'll just wait until October when they decide to release it here.

 

[Izayoi]

I'll be importing.

 

[gosox333]

Yeah, I'm on the import list as well. It's pretty much a tradition for me at this point.

 

[Inukage]

Yeah, I'm on the import list as well. It's pretty much a tradition for me at this point.

Same here, to bad the release date is on Saturday...

 

[Tagg9]

Thank you.

Just go to Serebii and look at it.

Thanks. Haha sorry, didn't mean to get you in trouble.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Pokejungle seems to be the new hot-spot for B2/W2 news, thankfully. That should get linked.
