Pokemon Black and White

[HobomasterXXX]

I hope it still has the GTS PKM exploit. It's so far the only way to send Pokes from one game to another with only one DS (and a computer.)

Considering you have a flashcard, why don't you just use Pokesav as a middleman?

I have to agree wiith uberpwn. Heartgold and soulsilver were nostalgic mind fucks. Buuut, black and white better be interesting. I'm so sick of the intro and same basic gameplay. I really am. I don't care about new pokemon, they probably suck, look like **** and aren't even that good. Diamond and pearl was hard for me to play. It was hard to get into. I want to see something different than a pansy group of people with some queer name using pokemon for "evil" that only you can stop. I don't want to see some other professor named after some obscure tree cuz they've already used all the obvious ones. I really don't.

The most recent "new" game, Platinum, showed signs that they were pushing themselves a little. Namely the Distortion World or whatever it was called, which was a pretty cool mindscrew. But I totally agree that they need to stop sticking to the same tired routine. Try starters with some type combination other than water/fire/grass, or even better, have some little mini personality test that automatically gives you a certain pokemon. Give the main character an actual personality. Give us some plot twists that keep things interesting. There's a lot that they could do to shake things up.

Disappointing for those of us expecting something mind-blowingly new.

In... Pokemon?

Personality? Plot? They have been doing the same routine for over 10 years now, unlikely they'll go far anytime soon.

Using the exploit makes the Pokes I send appear in the Pokedex as well. Using Pokesav gives you the Poke, possibly corrupts it into "hacked" status, and does not give you the Pokedex entry.

Besides, all I use Pokesav for is to check IVs or Happiness. All of my Pokes are 100% legit, and I am proud of that fact.

Hmm, I heard that they're planning on revolutionize the series with these two games.
Rumour says that they'll have fully animated battle sprites with attacking animations. No proof whatsoever of it except that screenshot right there which looks like it can offer more animations.

Although I really don't see how it can be necessary.

[Valiere]

I suppose they could give each mon a couple poses, but I can't see them being "fully animated" unless they use CGI. With what? 400-something? pokemon in all, there's no way they can afford to go all out on animation.

[HobomasterXXX]

And it'd use up too much space on the card. It's pretty much undoable.

[drenrin2120]

And I don't see how that would revolutionize anything. -_- Better animations =/= revolution

[Cerebus]

Can you aim your Pokéballs sideway in Black?

...

Seriously though Gold/Silver remain my favourites. The new addition to Ruby/Sapphire weren't all that great and I couldn't try Diamond/Pearl, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing big beside new Pokémons. More Pokémons=/= better, in my opinion. 250 was fine. Unless these new titles offer something revolutionary, something very new, something awesome, I won't get them.

HG/SS is one of the hugest games ever. You do a normal Pokemon adventure, become the champion, get some credits. Then you do ANOTHER ENTIRE adventure, beat Red, get credits again. THEN you get a few bonus pokemon and a final legendary battle. To say nothing of actually completing the Pokedex and leveling up and breeding the perfect team and rebattling the gym leaders's stronger teams. It's incredible how much stuff they packed into this game.

Black and white have a very high bar to try to beat.

[Archem]

Imagine a game where they basically open every existing part of the Pokémon world after you clear the most recent addition. That would be something else, huh?

[Prpl_Mage]

The only sad part about HG/SS is that Mewtwo sucks, he doesn't even have psychich when you fight him.

[SaiKar]

Yeah, I lol'd so hard at his single, weak attack move. It couldn't even kill my level 40-something false swiper. Sad sad.

A lot of the other legendaries do put up a nice fight though.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I wish I could be playing my SS right now, but my DS is broken... I didn't even make it through Cherrygrove after you've gone back and fought ? =/.
