Really? They gave the white one a spike on his crotch?
 
Still can't believe the American site revealed new Poké' before any Japanese source. Hope this means a simultaneous release.

Has it ever happened before?

Btw simultaneous release would be Japan doesn't get it until Spring either.... :/
 
These look damn good. Makes up for the otter atrocity.

Wow...Ottrocity would be a damn good final evo name...

Oh shit, really? This came out of nowhere, Zekrom looks amazing... looks like I'll be making black my main game.

But if it follows the naming and the background, that means he's the version-exclusive for White.
 
CruxisMana said:
Wow. They look... really different.

Its giving me a digimon vibe. Not sure how I feel about it yet

and fuck spring 2011 >:(

EDIT: After a few minutes to process it, I fucking love both designs. It's fresh. Zekrom is badass

POKÉMON BLACK VERSION AND POKÉMON WHITE VERSION COMING TO NORTH AMERICA IN SPRING 2011

New Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom Grace Covers of New Releases

REDMOND, Wash., May 28, 2010 - Two new Pokémon™ games, Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems will be released in North America in spring 2011. Introducing a new storyline and the next generation of Pokémon, the new releases will feature the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram™ (Pokémon Black Version) and Zekrom™ (Pokémon White Version) on the game covers worldwide.

"Pokémon is a true worldwide franchise with legions of fans in every corner of the globe," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We know these fans will be thrilled to discover this new generation of Pokémon next year."

The launch of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version follows the incredible consumer response to Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, which have sold more than 8.4 million units combined worldwide to date. The Pokémon video game series has sold more than 200 million units worldwide since it was first introduced 14 years ago.

From the legendary designs I'm going to wager that Black will end up being the "superiour silver."

edit: or wait is the black pokemon for the White game? Then I'd say everyone will be going White.

...really? They look as Pokemon as any of the previous "boxart legendaries." IMO they look like a mix of the original bird trio and Dialga/Palkia.

Yeah misinterpreted that. White will be the best selling version. Now we need a clever name. "Wicked White?"
 
Wow, that black one...

He looks cool. That's not a word I've used to describe a legendary since... well, I think Rayquaza was kinda cool.
 
Is it me or do their names sound very "Hebrew"?

I was on the White bandwagon before it was cool! :P

I really do like Reshirom though (especially if it's flying), maybe I can trade my Zekrom to one of the Black players for it.

Um, please go compare these to the legendaries of blue/red and silver/gold.

These 2-legged battle-droids definitely give off a Digimon-vibe, at least the black one.

How exactly do they remind you of the original bird trio, besides the fact that they sort of have wings?

Nah. You guys think everything that's bipedal is Digimon. :/ Are Palkia and Groudon Digimon too?

Just the simplistic design and ornamentals they have. Not really provable just the vibe I got. I will admit though they look a lot more like Dialga/Palkia.

I just noticed that they have ridiculous tails.
I'll bet they have ridiculous tales too.

Also,

Why does "It looks more like a Digimon" have to be something you defend against. It seems like a lot of people take it as a knock as well.
 
Andrex said:

Yeah, they do. Could this be an indication of where BW are taking the (legendary) story this time?

...also, didn't realize Zekrom was from White and not Black. In that case, totally on White version.

Also, they both look like giant bees with those tails. Still cool though.
 
Pureauthor said:

The tails are pretty much the only part I like. :lol

I'll be getting White, though I was a loyalist even when I thought I would be getting the shitty legendary on the left (all of twenty minutes).

In that case Mewtwo looked like a Digimon too, right? Please, they look like Pokemon. Go back and take a look at a digimon, these look like monsters

Yeah, given these two legendaries, I'm guessing the theme is going to be, at least visually, angels/demons.

I didnt like Palkia, too.

And Mewtu was a special Pokemon, created by men, being able to talk (or think) just like a human being, too, so that´s hardly a good comparison.
 
I like the look of the legendaries, I think I'll be going with the White version based on these legendaries (which is odd seeing as how I generally end up liking the 'less popular' version more). I won't know for sure until I see the comparison of which version has which exclusive pokemon.

It's a POKEMON. You're just making excuses now

Those are actually kind of different...the city clip shows a lot more of the city and the battle clips have 3 different battle themes
 
Wonder what type the white one would be.

The black will definitely be Dark type. I kind of hope they make a new type of pokemon. Like Light type or something. I don't think there are two types that are super effective against each other.

Older pokemon that qualify for Light type would be Togekiss and others.
 
I'm buying both :D

Although Zekrom looks very cool. Reshiram looks odd, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

They'd BETTER keep the Lead Pokemon Follows You thing from HG/SS though. Just got Platinum at last this week and it feels somehow lonely to not have your Pokemon following you around.
 
wow! I like Zekrom, I have this feeling of a Dark/Steel typing from the looks of it. Every since the 2nd gen, I always go for the 2nd game and it looks like Im going to make White my main game. Im going to buy both of them though.
 
Definitely getting White, which I had already wanted, and definitely importing it.

Edit: Actually, Reshiram is looking pretty elegant there. Both are really good.
