Pokémon Black & White

[Skyblade]

Technically, starting with Gen III S/R/E, they no longer use the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" catch phrase on the games.

Because attempting to is bloody obnoxious. HG/SS are pretty solid as far as being able to to obtain all but about 40 pokemon in the titles. With the use of the GTS, obtaining any of those 40 pokemon is also not at all difficult.

All except Celebi, who is supposedly going to be an event sometime soon.

I'm glad Nintendo is finally getting off their high horse and making the majority of event Pokemon (especially the legendaries) so much easier to obtain. Let them keep the shinies and the special move Pokemon for the big events. Just being able to get all of them by going to Gamestop or Toys'R'Us is a huge step forward.

Now they need to get over their last hurdle and just make them DLC that are availible any time, rather than one particular week.

Yeah, can't wait for Celebi. I've wanted a legit one for over a decade now, and I'm not kidding. It comes with Nasty Plot, too!

But yeah, I'm happy that it's easier to do, too. Sometimes they distribute stuff so you can obtain them right from the comfort of your home-- that's how I got my shiny Pichu that unlocks the Spiky-eared Pichu.

I think there should be more Wi-Fi releases in North America. I was sorta annoyed when they had one at GameStops but for some reason did not apply to the GameStops (otherwise known as EB Games here) in Canada. :/ I dunno if the same are is true about the Toys 'R' Us releases, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. :/

Silhouettes of the Black/White starters!

[Evastio]

One step ahead of you Momiji:


Even the source says it's likely to be fake, though. And I'm hoping insanely that it is. Though if it is real at least it'll get more people to choose the grass starter and less people to choose the fire starter, for a change.

[Agent Proto]

Duh, of course it's fake.

[Momiji]

Those are absolutely fake, seeing that it's even been said that they'll be revealed next Sunday.

[Skyblade]

Also, wasn't Piplup the most popular from D/P?

Oh, and while the image may be fake, the silhouttes seem to have a lot of support.

[Evastio]

I think so. Though I'm pretty sure the fire starters for the first three generations were the most popular.

Anyways, the 5th Generation Starters have now been officially revealed by CoroCoro:


I have to say, I like them all rather equally. I guess the one I'll start with depends on which final evolution I like the best.

Also, is it just me, or am I the only one having a hard time thinking about what the evolutions for the 5th Generation Starters will look like? I had a similar problem with the 4th Generation starters as well when they were first revealed. So far, I'm guessing the grass starter will be some sort of salamander dragon, with leaves or grass along its long body, the fire starter will either look like a sumo wrestler pig with tusks, or a wild boar with flaming hair, and the water starter will look like a bulky sea weasel with sharp claws, feet, and fangs.

Also, here's a compilation of fake starters that I looked up yesterday:
(SPOILER)

[Momiji]

Even if it looks like a revamped Bidoof, the water starter is adorable. That's what I'm going to pick!

[Rase]

So Fire/Dark, Water/Ice, and Grass/???

I'll probably so my usual and go with Water. That otter is adorable.

[Momiji]

I wonder if they'll make the starters dual-typed with Psychic, Dark, and Fighting types, but so they all counter each other, kind of like...

Fire/Dark
Grass/Fighting
Water/Psychic

[Agent Proto]

I can definitely see how the fire-piggy could end up being a dual type starter with Fire/Dark, and the red nosed otter could be Water/Ice most likely. I don't know about the Grass starter though, but I hope it's final evolution turns up with wings like Charizard, as we're kinda overdue for another final evolution that has Flying as a second type.

[Skyblade]

So far I like the Grass type one the best, which is unique in my playthroughs (Grass is usually one of the least visually appealing to me). I hope its final evolution looks better than Sceptile does, though.

Just once I would like to have a ghost starter
