Official Pokemon Black and White thread. (loads of new info with lots of spoilers)

[Phantom Roxas]

Well, the second stages for Smugleaf and Wotter were shown in concept art. We haven't seen the third stages, or either of Porkabu's evolutions.

[Kiyo]

That's a relief. Pokabu's fake evos were downright ugly.

Also, the new evolution animation is kinda gross... A bit like the Digivolving scenes from Digimon Tamers.

[DeathSDelano]

Ok gamefreak hurry up and reveal the REAL STARTER EVOS

[Dark]

I haven't seen the new evolving animation, but if it's in "3D" (as in, like the battles), I hate it already. I like a simple fade-to-white, fade-to-sprite, bring-back-color animation for evolution. If they hyped it up and made it all three dimensional, I will be a bit pissed.

[Kiyo]

It's still 2-D (though I do think 3D would be cool, it would be untraditional), but the Poké literally "shatters" into little pixels that reform as the evolved Poké. It's kinda creepy if you think about how that would look in the anime...

[Dark]

Uhh... that's kind of weird.

 

I don't really care much about the evolution animation. I watch it once to see how cool (or not cool) it is, and ignore it for the rest of that generation. xD

[Flame Dragon]

Dark, if you want to see the evolution animation watch the trailers.

 

Sad that the evos were fake, but we should be getting the real ones really soon with the game only 15 days a way. TBQH with the game likely to have at least 150 pokemon it's a little shocking that we've seen so few.

[DeathSDelano]

has anyone looked at the 1st trailer with the giant fossil thing(maybe the frame of 1 of 5th gens fossil pokemon)

[Flame Dragon]

Yea, I've been thinking about that. It does look like it would be really cool.

[Catman25]

The new trailers look sick. But the dialogue looks whack. Speech bubbles?

[sirAragorn]

I think the fossil kinda looked like a dragon size, maybe Reshiram and Zekrom are fossil pokemon found and brought back to life in the games. It looked like it exploded in the traier.

[DeathSDelano]

We will have to wait until more details on that but hopefully it is the frame of one of the fossil pokemon. As the Fossil pokemon are the few pokemon that don't look completely crappy, but they just screw over such as Rampados High attack but no speed or defense to back it up........ though some other fossils are good and other decent such as Aerodactyl for lead and stuff , cradily in UU(i think that where she is at) as a wall where blissey does not exist.

Pause and look at it long enough.

 

If I'm not mistaken, it's Zekrom.

[DeathSDelano]

yea it was kinda hard to make out but could be maybe thats why there were explosives because Team plasma wanted to steal zekrom's fossil than revive for evil proposes and end up being defeated by you and failing miserable. But who knows until the game comes out

[The True Ace Attorney]

The trailers for Black and White make it seem as though trading is possible whenever you want. I doubt that's the case but if it is it'd make getting through the game extremely easy. We could stick a level 100 on rotation.

[.Leo]

What I have seen, we have a Luvdisc evo coming.

[Kiyo]

I kinda like it, but I would prefer actual face sprites in the text boxes instead.

[DeathSDelano]

old news is old thats been known for awhile now

 

anyways a mass of information is suppose to be revealed next weekend so maybe the starters evos will be revealed

[burnpsy]

Something almost nobody else mentioned:

 

The anime character "Iris" is confirmed to appear in the game. Any ideas on what exactly she'd be doing there?

[DeathSDelano]

Random NPC? don't know

[burnpsy]

Random NPC? don't know

 

When she appeared in the trailer, it looked plot related...

[DeathSDelano]

Guide? or person who gives you stuff like in other games?

[burnpsy]

Well, I suppose there's no real point to guessing...

[DeathSDelano]

pretty much who knows what they will do with her we already know about the Butler gym leader

Rival, durr. That's the most logical conclusion given Dawn and May's roles in the anime.
