Yeah! I think that looks better than all those ugly beaver-bear things.
 
Yeah instead of a tree growing out of its back or ass we can finally get a pokemon that evolves with a tree growing out of its head. Cutting edge stuff there.
 
If true:

Region is Hantou/Hanto and is close to Hoenn. (Hopefully there will be multi-regions?)
Fire starter is Kooen.
Water starter is Rakkoru.
Grass starter is Kaedenta.

All in Japanese, of course.

Combat system slightly changed. It mentions something having to "entrain" or measure the time of the attack.

I don't know if I want Pokemon to become like Paper Mario/M&L.
 
If timing of your attacks is in game, the games would need good netcode for multiplayer battles... which means that everyone would play using the battle simulators instead.

All of that stuff is completely wrong. Just letting you know.

No it wouldn't. It'd still be turn-based, so as long as you do it right on your end, it will be right on the other end. If both players do it right, then they cancel each other out.

①DS ポケットモンスター ブラック/ホワイト(2010年秋/RPG/ポケモン)※スキャン未確認

・タイミングよくボタン入力で技のダメージが増減するバトルシステム
・舞台は中国四国のハントウ地方
・御三家は草:カエデンタ、炎:コウエン、水:ラッコル
・珍しいポケモンを移行する時には制限や条件あり
・ゾロアはHGSSからロックカプセル送って入手、詳細は次号
・ゾロア系の特性はボタン入力のタイミングをずらす「げんわく」
This was from Sunday, it seems.

I'd doubt that nobody else wouldn't have picked up on this, considering how long ago it was reported. Nevertheless, all shall be revealed in a few hours anyway (if the leak is on time).

Well paper mario and M&L are like the best RPGs ever, so you do want it to be similar.

Timed hits would be kind of a cool feature. The metagame people would hate it the same way they hate double battles, though, since it introduces a layer of randomness that wasn't there before.

EDIT: This is fake, right? They're working off the printed-out DeviantArt scans?

Eh I thought Paper Mario's battle system was way too slow, and I could never feel for sure that I'd get the hits right.
 
I don't think that stuff is real but if it is then I would be fucking happy to see some form of change to the battle system.

Good news is that it should be either confirmed or proven fake by tonight or in the morning if I remember how Coro is leaked. :D
 
Eh, while I do adore all the Mario RPGs, I don't really think it would fit Pokemon well, I'd prefer if it's kept turn based, but if it isn't then I'll just hope for the best.

I do love the randomness factor. I refuse to play Smash Brothers without items on most of the time.
 
It'd be awesome if Pokemon had a standard RPG system (i.e. having double the speed of your opponent meant that you got two turns for each of theirs). Unfortunately, they'd have to rebalance the rest of the game in order to make it work.

EDIT: Whenabouts (in terms of hours from now) is Coro Coro due to leak? It'll be nice to have some concrete info for a change rather than these lame silhouettes.

Also, are the Serebii forums going insane? I camped there for a while in the run-up to the anouncement of DP and these fakes came out that set the place ablaze.

My hype levels aren't that high for this announcement, though, to be honest, mostly due to HGSS scratching my poke-itch (HGSS has already unseated DP and is on its way to doing the same to FRLG as my favourite games in the series).

The run-up to DP was monstrous, though. The DS was already a few years old and not a peep was heard from GameFreak about it. Emerald was starting to show its age and it really felt like it was time for a new set of games. With Black and White, however, it doesn't feel that way at all.

RPGs with deeper turn-based systems, such as the Shin Megami Tensei series, has done this successfully. I don't buy this argument at all, and it's more of a testament to the fans who seem to think that limiting the creativity of Gamefreak is, in turn, their creative process, which is absolute stupidity.

In the SMT endgame, aren't there only a few demons that don't suck? And you can't fight against human players in any of the games, can you?

I'd be down with this.
 
^^^^^

We know the street date of Coro Coro comic magazine (the main vehicle Nintendo and GameFreak use to announce Pokemon stuff. In order to hit news-stands by that date, it needs to be printed and distributed some time earlier. Leaks happen when:

a) Subscribers get their copies earlier than expected
b) People who work in newsagencies or distributors get a hold of the magazine and put it online

The time overheads for this to happen are actually fairly predictable in terms of days and hours, especially since the same few people do it each time.

------------

I'm very much hoping this is a 3DS (or DS/3DS dual) title. If it is, it'll give me some breathing room to play around with endgame HGSS before I jump into BW, since I'm not buying the 3DS, or any unproven system for that matter, at launch. Heck, depending on how the 3DS's first year goes, Grey version might be out by the time I get one.

My guess is that if it is a 3DS title, its 3DS-only features won't be revealed until at least E3. At the very least, not until the 3DS name and logo are revealed.

I fear he may be right. After all, HGSS don't have DSi-only features (LIKE WPA-PSK SUPPORT GODDAMN IT). It seems as though GameFreak is a little cut off from the rest of Nintendo.
HG/SS are still just remakes and DSi is just a stop gap so I don't know why we are applying gen shifts to them in this case. :/

Already months since Pokemon B/W title has been revealed and people STILL think it has D3S stuff? :lol
You can't say with any certainty what will happen until after the 3DS announcement reel features or lacks BW footage. Until then, all bets are off.

What bets?

Even back then prior to the announcement they said it was solely for DS.

There is nothing saying they wont pull a TP on us.

Remember TP? That Zelda game for the GC that was given a port up to the next console to help boost that system's sells? A port revealed only months before release?:/
 
Ishihara has FAR more influence at Game Freak than Iwata/Nintendo does. I'm sure Nintendo let's them do whatever they want.
 
No idea how valid this site is: http://forums.mangafox.com/showthread.php?t=173418

Hantou! (lazy name in my opinion) that is besides Hoenn, this will take place in the Japanese region of Shikoku and Chogoku.

the name of the starters:
Grass: KAEDENTA (カエデンタ)
Water: RAKKORU (ラッコル)
Fire: KOOEN (コウエ)
but we still don't know who is who :S

Battle system changed it says something about timing!

Looks like Zoroa has a event in HG/SS! and maybe it has to do with the "mystery" Lock capsule more info in the July vol.

we can migrate under some rules, that will be later explained...
