Seems all right to me.

You're not including HG/SS. This is a critical flaw. You're also missing FR/LG

[Valiere]

Those are both remakes.

[fruckert]

She's also not listing green, crystal, platinum, and whatnot.
Just the core games.

And as much time and effort that goes into making them and adding to them, you still don' give them basic credit? I say it's not fair to say they aren't new games just because they're based on an existing product. They're not ports, they're a whole new product built from the ground up. When I buy them, they're a new experience, even if I've played them before. Don't ignore them because they're not a new story.

[Valiere]

If you feel like it's too soon for a new Pokemon, that's fine. But if we're looking at brand-new Pokemon games with new Pokemon, then only the games that start off the new "generation" count. And in that regard, Black/White is right on time.

Blue was released in Japan as a special limited edition, which is where we got our updated sprites from.

[Valiere]

And boy did we need them D:

[fruckert]

...is that Mew?

[Valiere]

Supposedly.

[Valiere]

Their spriters made the fatal error of trying to squish characters into a box, as exemplified by Charizard (LOOK AT ITS TAIL!).

Also, I need to post Hitmonchan. Lol!

[fruckert]

He looks like a crab.

Love to kick topics.

Check out some of the absolutelynotsteriotypical trainers!



Also, I feel sorry for their spriters if they needed to do all this for every poke out there. 155 new ones added to the ones out already... That's like 649...

[Prpl_Mage]

Seriously? It's been like 4-5 days since black and white was released in Japan and no one has anything to say about it?

[SaiKar]

Well I don't live in Japan. Not really trying to spoil the game for myself by reading every little thing about it.

Oh? It's been released? Mayyyybe I'll try and get my hands on it and try it out. But I'm honestly just not that excited about it. =\

Especially after lucas' post.

ALSO: According to Bulbapedia, black and white sold 2.63 million copies within the first two days. At $40 dollars a pop that's $105.2 million dollars.... the first two days. No wonder they keep crapping these games out.
