Castelia City was the very first location we saw in the initial reveal in April 2010. It was the only location we properly saw until the big region blowout a few months later, which did lead to a bit of speculation that the entire region would be this megacity.

When was the region blowout?

 

[Exterminieren]

When was the region blowout?

The full region map was revealed in June, along with Minccino, Darmanitan, Blitzle, Sandile, Pidove, Munna and Klink.

Hmm, OK. Thanks.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So June Coro Coro then?

Man, Pokemon info is making me uneasy :/

Quick question to anyone who has been in a wi-fi tournament before.

Once you register on the pokemon website, how long do you have to register your battle box/get your digital ID (since the battle box will be locked after you register it til after the tournament)

If you don't need to until the day before, it means I can keep playing through the game until just before the tournament otherwise, it looks like I won't be touching B/W2 until the tournament itself.

Pretty sure once you've registered on the site you can do the battle box stuff whenever you want. I took part once and registered the pokes on the day. You can't get them out until the tournament is over though.

edit: http://en.pokemon-gl.com/support/faq/en/Wifi.pdf This explains it, page 3.

 

[backlot]

Probably crap, but rumours are going round about the next Coro Coro issue.

Notably, it says that Sylveon is shown using an unknown attack on Sableye that registers as super effective.

They'd better not be giving Sableye a weakness. If they do, then at least give him an evolution.

 

[lordfroakie]

The clouds covering up new region sounds possible. I hate it when Coro Coro does that <_<

Thanks a lot I was looking around the help site and couldn't find a PDF or help page like that one. Means all I need to worry about is registering on the Global Link site

edit: So I was doing the Pokemon Dream World just now and for the first time, I saw a Kabuto in Sparkling Sea... needless to say, that is the pokemon I'm taking at the end. Awesome! (I wish it was the other Kanto fossil pokemon though)

It's way too early for CoroCoro to even be sent to stores, or even fully printed. Best to ignore things like that

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Sableye with a weakness would indeed be a feeble thing.

Kabuto > Omanyte

I pick the Dome Fossil every time.

Any time I get that GIF, I know I've made the right decisions in life.

[Stuart444]

I always picked Omanyte, while my bro picked Kabuto.

And now speaking of gen 1... I have this in my head >_<

 

[Boss Doggie]

I just realized that the Pokerap cheats because it repeats.

 

[DaBoss]

I don't know why anyone would not want Kabutops.

What's this?

I couldn't find the version that ends in a hug.

I've made a huge mistake, Ikael.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So that's Coro Coro news huh? :I

 

[IntelliHeath]

I don't know why anyone would not want Kabutops.

Exactly. Almost all fossil pokemon are awesome, excepted Omanyte, Lileep, and Anorith.

OH HELL. I KNEW IT

Hang on, let me look for sources

 

[Stuart444]

I didn't know Omanyte was so hated

Spoiler

I also completely forgot about those other two fossil pokemon there til now

[Cute Dragon Here]

So that's Coro Coro news huh? :I

I guess sometimes very low expectations are warranted.

I think I don't really care about news.

 

[JoeM86]

Seems the Tretta stuff comes from tomorrow's Weekly Famitsu

 

[ScraftyDevil]

That's much better. Thanks, bro.

Spoiler

I'm totally using my next paycheck to commission a Solid Scrafty/Arcacon pic.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder if Coro would do the same news.

 

[JazzmanZ]

So that's Coro Coro news huh? :I

CoroCoro isn't even out yet, next week is when you should expect fake 4chan news and scans

 

[JoeM86]

I wonder if Coro would do the same news.

If true, it will cover it, yes. That doesn't make it the entirety of the issue.

[Stuart444]

So I've just found yet another small improvement to B/W2.

You can move items from one pokemon to another without taking it off then giving it to someone else unlike in B/W1 (lots of moving the exp share around which was a pain).

So yeah, the small improvements really do make all the difference with stuff like this

They also added a Free Space spot in your items making it easier to quickly grab things like selling food and mulch to the Item Maniacs.

 

[zroid]

Now we just have to wait and see how many of these great improvements will be abolished in XY. :<

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm still mad about them removing Pokemon following you.

 

[braves01]

As long as it doesn't go back to D/P level slow and tedious I'm okay.

I'm still mad about them removing Pokemon following you.

Yes this too. I want to see the badass legendaries I've tamed following me around.

And they could get rid of the little animations before using HMs.

 

[Stuart444]

Now we just have to wait and see how many of these great improvements will be abolished in XY. :<

I hope the one I mentioned above and the repel ones aren't ;-; both of those improvements feel like god sends honestly.

I just wish now they would do something/anything to make us not have to have HM slaves (I don't know what, but it'd be nice not to have to worry about strength or cut)

edit:

I'm still mad about them removing Pokemon following you.

I want that back as well

 

[ffdgh]

Now we just have to wait and see how many of these great improvements will be abolished in XY. :<

Ugh...the thought of no join avenue and auto repel is....painful.

Move tutors will somewhat likely obviously be gone tho >_>.

 

[JoeM86]

With the games now being 3D, following is just not feasible. Imagine a Wailord following

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

With the games now being 3D, following is just not feasible. Imagine a Wailord following

I always thought using the Ranch/Rumble Models as Overworld Following Models would've been acceptable.

 

[DaBoss]

I don't think following is feasible now due to the angle that they've chosen. I wish they were in B/W(2).

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I don't see how being 3D or the camera angle makes it less feasible. They don't HAVE to have Wailord at actual size, the battle screen is still separate from the world map. We already had tiny Wailord in the 2D games, why is 3D different?

I don't mean actual sizes, I mean it may block visibility due to the camera angle whereas the 2D games were more overhead. I guess they can make them really small.

because 3d = REALISM now

 

[ArchedThunder]

You scale the model, just like how the sprites were scaled in HGSS.

 

[MiKeD]

I don't think it is too young.

Defo not too young I'd say.

He fell asleep before it aired damnit.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Now we just have to wait and see how many of these great improvements will be abolished in XY. :<

tbqh they didn't actually remove any old feature save for the useless one (Pokemon following you). The only other feature they removed (touch screen buttons) is mostly because of C-Gear.

I'm still mad about them removing Pokemon following you.

It's a novelty that frankly became pointless.

 

[Professor Beef]

It's a novelty that frankly became pointless.

It's a big enough deal that some people are actually going to skip the game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's a big enough deal that some people are actually going to skip the game.

Eh let them skip the games, they're pretty terrible at figuring out what they like if they skip out just because of that.

 

[DaBoss]

It's a big enough deal that some people are actually going to skip the game.

Woah, that is too much IMO.
