If you want my advice, Younicorn, play this as you enter each gym:

Trust me, it helps.

 

[Exterminieren]

I started a new game last night in Black and it got me thinking...assuming that Black and White 2 will indeed be different from the usual third versions we get, who will the starters be?

If they're the same as now then I can't see the games being dramatically different because they'd need to be trained again which kinda implies going through the game again.
Either way I think calling the games Black and White 2 gives them a real chance to go off the board with these games. Like literally continuing where the previous ones left off or adding some areas (or a region) so that going through the whole game again is worth it.

I'm guessing it'll feature Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig, and will have new playable characters.

Whether or not it's in Unova is still up in the air. I'm thinking not; that "far away region" is WAY too big a hint.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I think it'll be the same trainers, but I don't know how teams will work.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

You know what I think? I think it'll include a new beginning for those who are new to the franchise or those who are just getting back into it, and a sort of New Game+ for those of us who have completed the new beginning/White or Black. That way they can make it a "true sequel" without alienating new players.

Only problem is, what's to stop experienced players from simply trading/importing a Level 100 Scrafty into the game and breezing through the gyms? (Assuming there still are gyms, of course)

No doubt the same system in place in all these games - no PalPark ability until late in the game.

Wouldn't that interfere with the "true sequel" philosophy? Or do you think that they'll do it likd GS; new protagonists while the old protagonist's story unfolds silently in the background?

 

[Gravijah]

you've always had the ability to import high level pokemon into the games. it's not really an issue.

 

[Chet Rippo]

No doubt the same system in place in all these games - no PalPark ability until late in the game.

He's talking about trading from Black and White, since these are part of the same generation.
But doesn't really matter, since there was nothing really stopping you from trading high level guys from Diamond or Pearl to Platinum.

 

[Robin64]

I assume a main-game Pokemon will have to have fire/water/grass as starters.
I really did love it when Pokemon Coliseum's story mode gave you Espeon and Umbreon, though.. Wonder if a mainline game could get away with having something different like that.

give me slowpoke

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Platinum was a third version, not a sequel. If GameFreak really wants to make it a sequel (with the story being continued from BW) then they'll have to either give us the option to transfer our BW teams into the game, or come up with an explanation as to why we're back to square one.

Or, like I said before, they could just continue the story with new PCs.

 

[Suairyu]

We don't have any idea how the sequel thing is going to work, so to be honest any speculation about that particular aspect is wasted thought processes at this point.

it's fun to speculate~

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I speculate that the new player characters' mom will in fact by Cynthia, and the father will in fact be May.

 

[Suairyu]

I speculate Cynthia will be all "come to Hoenn with me!" and take you to the airport and you lift off but once you get there all you're allowed to do is stay confined to the Battle Frontier. But she promises to take you somewhere else if you get every gold badge so you grind that for hours hoping to unlock the rest of Hoenn and when you finally have utterly beaten the Battle Frontier she takes you to Johto.

 

[ffdgh]

aww i want steven for a dad and wallance for an uncle

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I speculate that you will be able to visit Hoenn, only to find that it is now ruled by Tentacool.

 

[Nocturnowl]

So Team Aqua succeeded? half the map felt like it was run by tentacool anyway with rare wingull subordinates.

 

[Wiseblade]

Team Aqua made no sense to me for this reason. If it was Unova, which only has one water route Then It'd made sense, but Hoenn? Please.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I'd grind dat.

If you know what I meant.

 

[ffdgh]

and kyogre has an advantage on groudon >_>

 

[EvilMario]

and kyogre has an advantage on groudon >_>

It just wasn't a fair fight. Groudon has no STAB on his weather, he has lesser Pokemon to work with when it comes to Sun, and the Fire version of Water Spout is special instead of physical. Of course, not being Fire type is an advantage when it comes to Groudon has his usual defensive role. Maybe they'll make Eruption physical in the remakes and make it Fire / Ground dual type move (lolol).

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Urgh. After going to, like, three job interviews and a wake today, I just wanna crash on my couch and play some Pokémon... X_X

 

[Supermanisdead]

i have 300 rattatas

 

[ThatObviousUser]

i have 300 rattatas

But are they in the top of Rattata?

 

[Supermanisdead]

But are they in the top of Rattata?

joey must have some kind of rare nature because after 300 tries i still havent got a top class rattata

 

[Gravijah]

i have a shitload of uhm... lillipup from trading zorua and starters so i could get people for my tower and stuff.

 

[Emitan]

Joey uses PokéSAV. No way that mook got perfect IVs on his own.

 

[ffdgh]

i have a box full of riolus from breeding atm

joey use pokegen anyway

 

[ThatObviousUser]

joey must have some kind of rare nature because after 300 tries i still havent got a top class rattata

I think it's cuz he sung this awesome theme song.

 

[Supermanisdead]

what, he's pronouncing it wrong. its RAT-tata not Ra-TAT-ta

edit: my rattatas are not for any kind of breeding experiment. i just love them. its my favourite pokemon.

 

[ffdgh]

you must not love them that much if you don't want them to achieve the near greatness of joey's rattata

 

[ThatObviousUser]

...that?

 

[Supermanisdead]

i bet you have a bourgie favourite like a legendary or psychic type. rattata is the common man's pokemon.

 

[ffdgh]

buizel/floatzel are NOT bourgie

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nah it's pretty much Togekiss / Raichu / Hydreigon for me.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Oy! Scrafty, Munchlax and Espeon are not bourgies, you scallywag!

Andrex, release the 3-headed evil god dragon!

 

[Supermanisdead]

<3buizel and hydreigon<3 my other favourites are ledian and growlithe.

scrafty though....

Also Hydreigon isn't evil, just misunderstood.

just like kyurem

Them's fightin' words, son.

Black
This brutal Pokémon travels the skies on its six wings. Anything that moves seems like a foe to it, triggering its attack.


White
The heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.

Mmhm. Pretty big misunderstanding, innit?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Yup.

Look how sad the bottom head looks.

The Pokedex has a well known liberal Hydreigon bias.

 

[ffdgh]

daww he's sad that no one got up on his back

 

[Supermanisdead]

hydreigon is a complex beast. you have to have a deep connection if you dont want it to kill you.
