I still want to knee Bianca in the face for those ambushes.

It'd be funny if, in the 3rd version (if this isn't already the case), they animate it so the rock goes up into the air, makes the hit sound, and suddenly the airborne Pokemon comes crashing downWatch Da Birdie said:Oh, but it CAN hit them if they're using Fly or Bounce, so it's like Swift in that regard.
Nah. Cheren is the hardcore gamer type, Bianca is the young child who's experiencing Pokemon for the first time or is playing just because it's fun. Each one is an expression of a different part of the audience. One wants to win, and always looks for things to make him stronger, the other is in it for the fun, win or lose.Teknoman said:You arent.

How about an abnormal type?Andrex said:The point is that although there are still holes to be filled, now feels like the right time for a new type.
TheOGB said:ohshit
Enhanced remake leading into B/W sequel confirmed?!
Watch Da Birdie said:It does Extra Damage to the Pokemon if they are Flying, have Levitate, or use Magnet Rise, and then they become vulnerable to Ground Pokemon (but don't lose their Flying-type, I assume), but it doesn't matter what move they use...
Oh, but it CAN hit them if they're using Fly or Bounce, so it's like Swift in that regard.

it's the other way around for me.TheOGB said:I'm not done yet, just as a heads up, but Bianca has grown to be a very likeable character. Meanwhile Cheren just seems to have gotten really annoying. Am I the only one who thought this?
holy fucking shitWatch Da Birdie said:I definitely feel like they're setting up for a direct sequel a la GS...
Especially with Team Plasma...N flies away, and Looker tells you he was spotted, and Gechis escapes with the Shadow Triad...
Doesn't seem like stuff that'd be settled in Version 3, imo, instead I imagine they'll just drop more hints about where they went setting up Gen VI...
Speaking of the Shadow Triad, the popular theory is that they're the Strighton Brothers (who don't appear in the Castle, although Bianca claims it was because they couldn't make it in time), but the part where they give you the DPt Legendary items and tell you Gechis saved them makes me wonder if they're perhaps the Galactic Admins from DPt, Mars, Venus, and Saturn?
this point of view just makes it betterWiseblade said:it's the other way around for me.I like Cheren's battle with "not-the-main-character syndrome", seeing someone he knows personally have battling come so naturally to them and reach such dizzying heights while he struggles to work out who he is. I can really see Cheren becoming a Champion in a future game and making big speeches about goals in life.
It makes a nice contrast toAndrexBarry, who only really got a far as he did because he had a strong rival motivating him.
Don't know what the story is over in the Gears thread, but I don't think Cheren is malicious in any way. He's all about getting stronger, but he's not about putting other people down. He actually seems to appreciate seeing you win, because he can learn from that.Teknoman said:Thats possible too. I guess I never looked at it like that (seems similar to something we were talking about in the Gears 3 beta topic).

Yeah. I don't buy the wholeRoto13 said:The Strightons weren't there because they suck.
Yea but none of that stuff works yet.Teknoman said:So, you have to sign up for the Pokemon Trainers Club to access the Dream World/ Global Battle stuff?

Maybe we're looking too much into it, haha.

Goddamn, how amazing! Yes, superior to Red/Blue, rather than simply better. (That is perfectly understandable, don't be "ummm"ing that!)
And the best thing is, the game is just beginning.
That said, I was disappointed (but had completely expected) the twist that Team Plasma was being all "save teh Pokémon!" simply as a guise to rule the world. GameFreak aren't strong enough storytellers to actually deal with the issues they raise, it seems. Oh well!
Cutscene heaven!
All the things GameFreak achieved with the DS engine, I cannot wait to see their 3DS work.
Bring on post-game!

That said, was anyone surprised at even the concept of the shadow triad? They seemed a bit out of place even though they were indeed cool.
Nope, not until his final form. My Vanillish is level 42 and still has under 100 HP :/Obsessed said:I really want to like Vanillite but the guy is just really sucking right now
I'll hold out hope that he gets much better when he evolves.
I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm not sure if anything changes (I'm at Victory Road), but I agree they are in a weird place. They appear out of nowhere and don't do anything but shuffle you around. Are they meant to be assassins or what?Andrex said:We'll find out in the anime, at least.If Cilan suddenly disappears whenever N/the shadow triad show up or not, then that solves that.

Nothing, just Gamefreak being disturbed as usual.Gravijah said:On marvelous bridge or tubeline bridge (can't remember which)there's a lady who stands next to one of the guys... When you talk to her, she disappears. Anyone know what she is for?
That's what Grey/Slate is for.Wiseblade said:I'm more shockedI never battled them.

Agreed 100%. Lugia was pretty chill and I'm a big fan of Dialga and Zekrom, but goddamn Kyogre why are you so awesome?EvilMario said:RSE remakes will be amazing, especially if they're on the 3DS (which is almost assured). Kyogre / Groudon / Rayquaza still make up the most epic trio of legendaries.

Yeah, that's how I see it too.Gravijah said:Bianca was with the three brothers IIRC bringing them there, she just didn't make it in time. I'm pretty sure she mentions physically being with them... hm..
