I have never hated a male main character so badly

LOOK AT HIS FUCKING RIDICULOUS HAIR

girl all the way

The girl isn't any better.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

So dragoon, what do you think of this guy's post?

That won't work on me. Utuber made reconstructions based off of what he heard in the TV streams, and those were inaccurate. Everything got better once I heard the real thing: the rival theme's better-developed, Aspertia City's got a lot more running time, and so forth.

 

[Kokonoe]

Know what I like the most? The PokeWood battle theme, which plays when you're doing that green-screen stuff before you get to watch the film itself.

Pokéwood Filming

 

[Izayoi]

I love that they used more cool off-beat stuff. So damn good.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Pokéwood Filming

ITT: Listening to Ichinose's pimp-ass piano tunes. It's a pretty-cool "battle theme", if you ask me.

 

[Izayoi]

The fucking gym themes, too.

Outdid themselves, god damn.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'm listening to a full MP3 rip, and these PokeWood themes are something else. Both the victory and defeat themes for PokeWood sound so different from the norm.

 

[ColtraineGF]

GIMME WHAT I NEEEEEEEEEE E- E- E-E-E-E

Holy shit

YES.

List of who got what from the Move Tutors.

Golurk got his punches.

 

[DragonKnight]

Do we know if we can start a new game with challenge mode yet?

 

[DragonKnight]

elesa's gym theme is awesome

 

[Exterminieren]

Serebii goes into more detail about this.

Short answer; no, but the key can be transferred to another game, no matter how far that game is in the story.

You should be able to transfer the key, start a new game and transfer it back, though.

 

[Frost_Ace]

I was hoping for heal bell lati@s meh :/

So someone can transfer the key to me at any point in the game and turn the mode on?

 

[Ultima_5]

So... I'm getting confused. I was reading about the Pokémon Dream Radar 3ds game thing, and have a couple questions about it...

Has that been released yet?
The pokemon you find in it, do they have their dream world abilities, and if so do we know what pokes are available?

 

[Exterminieren]

Yep; as long as one of you have beaten the Elite 4 at some point, the key can be transferred between you. I believe you can have the key transferred to you at the very start of the game, if you like.

 

[Trojita]

How good was Fire Red and Leaf Green?

I just ordered a used GBA SP with the enhanced screen. For some reason I put the silver remake down after 2 or 3 gyms and haven't played my copy of Black yet, so I don't know if I should pile another game on top of those.

Personally, they're my favorite games in the entire series. Sprites are very pretty, and has an amazing nostalgia kick if you played the originals

 

[Exterminieren]

It came out in Japan yesterday, with BW2, so will presumably do the same in the West.

The pokemon you find in it, do they have their dream world abilities, and if so do we know what pokes are available?

We know you can get the Therian Formes of Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus in them, which have different abilities to their Incarnate formes, and we've seen screenshots and reports of Ralts, Riolu and Munna. I don't think we've had any confirmation if they have their Dream World abilities, though.

Sounds good. That's what I'll be doing after my first run through of the game. Then how come no one has uploaded gym leaders challenge mode information? I guess no one has tried it yet?

Damn... I'm hoping they do and theres a wide range of pokes available. I sort of want to get back into competitive battling and the alternate abilities only being available using that online portal scared me off....

 

[Exterminieren]

Basically. I think people like Serebii are more concentrated on squeezing everything out of the postgame rather than combing through the main quest again ATM.

The difficulty key isn't the only key, either; keys exist to swap between Black City and White Forest, and to unlock either Registeel or Regice, depending on the game.

I'm guessing this is something we'll see more of in the series' future.

 

[MidnightScott]

Can't wait for this to come out in the west so me and my best friend can each play the game together

 

[EvilMario]

At this point, it's pretty easy to find people that'll trade you female offsprings with the abilities to pass down and avoid Dream World entirely.

Looking at the list of available legendary Pokemon, it's remarkable how Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver are looking to become obsolete/unnecessary already.

It wouldn't surprise me if in 4 years, we got games (such as Gen 6 Ruby/Sapphire remakes) that made today's Black 2 and White 2 unnecessary.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

They're ending the DS generation full-bore, so I'm thinking they're usually going to try and cram in as many sweet treats as possible for the last game they do for a certain platform.

At least, you still need HGSS for first two generation legendary pokemons. I'm very glad that they added Regi3 to make it easier for me to not playing emerald.

Just found out that volcarona got earth power and giga drain :O

Earth Power is so lovely. Heatran can eat it.

 

[Exterminieren]

Oh boy, Gliscor is heading straight into Ubers.

 

[EvilMario]

Music in this game is too good. The rival theme, I could listen to it all day.

 

[MikeMyers]

Imagine if Ho-Oh gets Magic Guard.

Then he'd be viable in ubers without dying to Stealth Rock first.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Has this been posted, regarding BW2 preorder lines?

 

[EvilMario]

Rumor is Sheer Force no longer negates Life Orb damage. vadernooooo.gif if true.

I'll test for myself when I have the chance..

 

[Exterminieren]

I'm currently addicted to the Champion's Theme. It reminds me of Mario Kart's Rainbow Road themes; epic, without being heavy in the manner of previous champions.

And the remixes; my God, the remixes. The Plasma theme, Ghetsis, N, all the gyms, all the World Tournament themes; my favourite is the godly Sinnoh Leaders remix.

 

[Alfalfa]

I'm not gonna lie: This is probably the first game in the series that makes me want to get both versions instead of just one. There's so much awesome stuff both shared and separate that I don't want to pass up one for the other.

Haven't really followed it that much, but I'll pick it up for sure. What's the differences between the two? Besides the pokemon obtained in one version of courese.

Opelucid City, Route 4 and Rebirth Mountain vary by version, Black City is found in Black 2, White Forest is in White 2, and Registeel and Regice are Black 2 and White 2 exclusive respectively.

However, with the new Key system, some of these can be swapped by connecting the games; after connecting, you can swap between Black City and White Forest at will in both versions, and Regice and Registeel can be swapped as well.

 

[BY2K]

OMG, the music.

THE MUSIC!

I take it all the text is in Japanese with this, without an option for English? Can everyone playing this read Japanese or are folks not getting too hung up on the story?

Also, how does region locking with the 3DS work with DS games?

 

[threetri333]

Oh boy, Gliscor is heading straight into Ubers.

What does Gliscor have that will make him Über?

 

[EvilMario]

What does Gliscor have that will make him Über?

Roost is now legal with Poison Heal, I guess. Tailwind can be used with either ability now too, which is a nice pickup for VGC.

 

[MuddyDonut]

I don't understand any Japanese and I am enjoying myself. Loving the changes so far...

 

[Azure J]

I think at this point, I'm mostly returning to the thread for all the music posts. Glad to see Ichinose doing more of his thing with this soundtrack. He fucking blew me away with Lacunosta Town's theme (and dat remix) alone in the first Unova games.

 

[backlot]

Earth Power is so lovely. Heatran can eat it.

Does it really get Earth Power? I don't see it on the tutor list for Volcarona.

I can understand enough now, but I've played through plenty of pokemon games in Japanese with pretty much no knowledge easily enough. And yeah, the there's just about no English (unless you count the letter N).
