Pokemon Black and White

[A Forgotten Legend]

I wanted some of the version exclusive from White, but I;ll just trade with my friends.

[Natako]

I totally didn't realize that today was the release date! Damn it, if it weren't raining buckets out, I'd go to get my copy right now. =\

I still haven't decided on black or white, though. I was thinking I'd get Black, but I still don't know.

My Tepig is named Squee.

Back to my glorified cockfights.

[drenrin2120]

I already played white, so I'm def getting black. Can't wait for the legit translation.

I got White for my brithday, haven't played much though.

I picked White because it got that Zekron thingy, Dragon electric soudns awfully neat after all.

Went with Snivy as the starter, found out that Tackle's power is raised from 35 to 50, so any normal type pokes are fated to kick any non-normal types butts at the start of the game.
Vine whip with Snivy deals less damage than Tackle so...
Purrloin have scratch and the poke is dark. Scratch < Tackle. And everyone else are normal which kicks the power of tackle to 75(if my math is any good these days).

So far no old pokés in the game. Which is pretty much a miracle. I have my hopes for this game, all new which is neat. But I'm still a bit concerned about the story with these self-righteous Team plasma. Not sure if this is what pokemon players expect.

PS: loves the roggenrola poké, it looks like a rock with an arsehole. But it's a nice change from Geodude.

Oh, and. This game is a pokémon game, so if you don't like pokémon. Don't get it.

[Natako]

This is probably the first game since blue where I'm not going to choose the water starter. I'm thinking that I'll go for Snivy instead.

...I really want to buy this game now. ><

And hm...Zekron interests me. Maybe I will go for White after all, even if it's the same one that everyone else seems to be choosing. XD

The storyline is terrible. Absolutely dreadfully nonsensical. And, all the pokes in the game are originals. But you can run into old pokemon after you beat the game very easily. You can catch pokemon like Metagross, Tyrannitar, Tangrowth, etc. And they're in the mid 50s when you get 'em. I caught a level 65 Metagross... ****ing awesome!

Also, TMs can be used indefinitely! I really don't care about the plot when the game play is so much better and less tedious.

ALSO, the last person you fight (not giving away details) is incredibly hard. I was stuck on them for a long while. I just didn't have the right team to take him down.

[Natako]

Since when has story mattered much in a pokemon game? As long as the game allows me to go OCD for a month in my frantic quest to catch 'em all, I'll be perfectly happy. XD

[SaiKar]

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum were on the verge of developing a plot. I actually started o_Oing when I had to do the whole Spear Pillar event.

I'm having trouble getting excited enough to go buy white or black. :/

[A Forgotten Legend]

So far, I have found it really annoying when I find Pkmn Trainer N, or your two friends just randomly.  It happens allll the time so far. Haha.  I almost lost once because I had just got out of a tough battle with a Lillipup.

[drenrin2120]

Yeah, that... never... stops...


and yeah, story in pokemon has always been a joke. But this one is really bad. You can tell they tried real hard, but they failed miserably.

[Natako]

Oh, boy. Well, I'll still play through it anyway before I make any judgments. At least I'll be able to imagine my character making smartass remarks along the way. It makes Pokemon (and other silent protagonist RPG's in general) much more bearable.

[Archem]

I'm enjoying it so far. I also didn't know about the infinite TM thing. This is good, because I always horded mine, and they sat around forever, never being used. Now, I'll actually get some use out of them. I also like all the new Pokémon. They're fantastic. The feeling that I literally don't know what's around the corner makes it feel fresh to me. No Geodudes and Zubats molesting me whenever I enter one of the hundreds of caves? Love it! Rattata and Pidgey aren't trying to assault my ankles when I enter some grass? Excellent! Magikarp? **** that guy! And all the neat new things, like 3D trees and the clock and everything make it feel so good to play the game! So whatever.

Lucas, get off your high horse. It's Pokémon. It's basically the same, even though it's all new. It's like a for real sequel.

[Natako]

Lucas, get off your high horse.

I hear Lucas likes to ride horses. Or rather, he likes to ride donkeys. Pastel-colored asses with third legs.

I think my brain just blew up.

So the old rod doesn't catch Magikarp anymore? That's interesting. How am I going to amass my army of magikarp who know only splash and tackle now? =(
I'm still eager to see what changes the new game brings. So how many of the old pokemon did they include in this game? Does anyone know?

[SaiKar]

Magikarp? **** that guy!

AHEM
