Pokemon Black and White

[Valiere]

I'll be the odd chick out and say I'm impressed. The animations really make the battles come alive. I wonder if the pokemon will look exhausted when their HP gets low too.

So I guess Zoroark can transform into any of the legendary dogs from gen 2?

Well, thanks a lot. This could've been done so much worse.

The thing I like about pokémon vs games like final fantasy is that the battle time is actually what you do and not 2 minutes cutscenes before every strong move. They've managed to add the animations together with the moves so it's kinda like Colosseum or Gale of darkness.

I feel sorry for the people forced to animate all this since it's sprites and not 3D but it looks like colosseum only how we plpayers want it to look.

It they're planning on having all pokemon in some way available for this, including trading, that's 500+ (perhaps even 600+) sprites that needed animation FRONT AND BACK. I don't know about you, even if they had 500 spriters, it's still a mega awesome point.

Also I dont know about the game, but the movie's pllot is this:

"In the future, Celebi sees Raikou, Entei, and Suicune fighting. In an attempt to prevent it, Celebi travels through time to the past. Zoroark transforms into the legendary beasts as well as a shadow version of Ash...They (the gang) encounter the Pokémon Zorua who is looking for its companion. They allow Zorua to travel with them until [a] town begins to be attacked by the legendary Pokémon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, revealed to be illusions created by Zorua's companion Zoroark. Soon after, the legendary Celebi appears from 20 years in the future due to an impending disaster..."

Sure, it's all garbage, but they always have some inter-connections. at least from the ranger movie on.

Let's hope they can overhaul game mechanics while they're at it.

This. And more moves that really aren't cheap, but can really turn the entire battle around, like Trick Room.

Now, there are two of us.

Serebii.net posted some updated info on the battle system, which includes this gem:  "With many attacks, when you attack and some attacks when you're attacked, the camera will zoom out and show your entire Pokémon doing that attack."

Got it???

[Prpl_Mage]

So it's like the 3D games?

[A Forgotten Legend]

I WANT.

Now, there are two of us.

Three. I just feel like lurking instead.

[A Forgotten Legend]

FOUR! =D

Here's the new legendaries, in case you missed.

I been commenting on gamefaqs and gonintendo on that these don't really give me a pokemon vibe... and that's good.

[Prpl_Mage]

I gotta admit that the legendairys look a bit too much like manga/digimon to me.
Palkia and dialga was on the edge of what would be accepted but these two goes beyond that I'd say, kinda like arceus only more.... large?

[Archem]

They look exactly like what I imagined they'd look like. My brother mentioned "legendary", "dragon", and "Pokémon", and that they'd be black and white (shocker!), and these things are exactly what popped into my head.

Either I'm psychic, or there's nothing to be surprised about here. Move along.

I like the white one, Reshiram. I wonder how they go about translating that into an English name.
Bulbapedia reckons: "Also, they have mentioned that there will be a big difference between the two versions, aside from the version-exclusive Pokémon and encounter rates." so I hope that is something really big and cool.
