Pokémon Black & White

[Bunny]

I wonder how much the fear of being labelled as racist will keep people away from buying Pokemon White. And I'm not even kidding here either, it's probably gonna be a real reason for political whining in the US.

If there is an uproar about something this retarded, I am moving.

It's why I didn't buy Pokemon Yellow. xD

Nintendo STOLE MY IDEA. My fake Pokemon game concept was called Pokemon Black & White, then the third one would be called Twilight.

I'm waiting to see what other ideas of mine they've stolen. >: |

THEY BETTER PAY ME.

Nintendo Everything has some scans and slight analysis of them.

The change in the battle scene to show the entire back of the Pokemon looks fun. Hopefully they'll also fix the Pokemon who look far less cool when fighting for you than when they do fighting against you when they implement that change (seriously, Mewtwo is an awesome looking Pokemon, why does he look so dorky from behind?).

Zoroark really needs a new name. Roark was the name of a gym leader, you don't just add "Zo" to the front to get a Pokemon.

NEWLY LEAKED PLOT SPOILERS BELOW: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

(SPOILER)

• You play as a young boy or girl living with his/her parent/s
• Starting in a small town named on a theme along with the other towns and cities (theme as yet unconfirmed, possibly racial slurs such as 'Coon City' and 'Wetback Port' if initial reports are to be believed)
• The player will get to choose one of three 'starter' Pokemon (rumours abound they will be of the 'fire', 'water', and 'grass' type) from a Pokemon researcher living nearby
• The player will have a friendly rival whom s/he will engage in Pokemon battles throughout the game
• As you progress through the game, you will battle with various 'gym leaders' who possess powerful Pokemon, and will bestow 'badges' upon the player on victory
• Once all gym leaders have been defeated in Pokemon combat, the player travels to the 'Pokemon League' where s/he will battle a series of strong trainers before battling the current champion (whom the player will have met at some point during the game, in disguise). Upon victory, the player is named the new champion and the credits roll. If the player returns to the Pokemon League afterwards however, s/he will discover that being champion was actually a crock of and the previous champion will forever remain there.

Yeah, I won't be getting it. Pokemon is boring as .

For the record, 'Zoroark' is just the romanized version of its Japanese name (ゾロアーク), so it's not positive if that will be its name in the English version. Seeing that Roark's name in the Japanese version of the game is Hyouta, I can safely say the connection is unintentional.

That's shocking news!

[Fonzie]

I don't quite know if I'm ready for another new title already.

Ohh, bitch, bitch, bitch.

The third installment should be Pokemon Rainbow, and the cover Pokemon should be a rainbow-colored Rapidash.

Someone should do some sprite editing.

[qwertysaur]

I hope that there will be a grass/fire type

[Rebellious Eagle]

I haven't enjoyed any Pokemon game much since R/S/E, which were the best in my opinion. The 4th generation was awful and I hate the sprites on the DS. But I keep buying every new game because they're addicting anyway. >.<

[Momiji]

The second generation is my favorite, and HG/SS reinforced that many times over.

EDIT: oh, right

@Tavrobel:

So, I reckon the legends will be light and darkness based.

Sorry Cresselia and Darkrai.

What?

So lemme get this straight. We go from Green, Blue, and Red, to Yellow, to Gold and Silver, and Crystal, to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, to HeartGold and SoulSilver, and what the hell do we arrive at?

Black and White? Ho-ly hell.

You'd think Nintendo would have come up with Black and White as titles way back in the Yellow/Gold/Silver days.
