Pokémon Black and White Discussion

[Neomysterion X. Prime]

Man, this video game section is BONE DRY!!! How about a topic to liven things up, like Pokemon Black/White for example?

It was released in Japan recently on September 18, 2010. I just can't what for the games to strike America, how about you?

There is 156 all-new Pokemon in the Isshu Region, leading up to a total of 649 Pokemon species!

There are sure to be new battle strategies, new moves, and new items!!!

TMs no longer expire after just one use!

When multiple Pokemon come to fight a single opponent, the experience isn't divided equally.

There is a more three-dimensional overworld compared to Sinnoh's.

Wild Pokemon appear in multiples sometimes.

Sadly, there aren't any pre-evolved or evolved forms of past-gen Pokemon.

Psypoke (out of all existing Pokemon fansites) currently has the best information and gameplay video coverage on Pokemon Black/White! I reccommend checking it out for those who are willing to take the Isshu challenge.

TMs no longer expire? That is wonderful news.

I'll probably pick it up when it comes stateside but I'm in no hurry.

Breaking News!

The Isshu Pokemon starters have officially been localized!

Tsutarja will be known as Snivy here in North America.

Pokabu's English name is Tepig.

...and Mijumaru will be referred to us Americans as Oshawott.

The Isshu Region will be known as the Unova Region in the North American versions of Pokemon Black and White.

The games should be released here in North America in Spring 2011 (estimated). After seeing that breaking news, it won't be long now 'til the 5th Generaton of Pokemon will come to us American fans of the franchise.

P.S.: I liked their Japanese names a lot better.

I thought that I might want to give you guys a heads-up about the Shiny Raikou, Entei, and Suicune promotional events at Gamestop in 2011. Here are the dates for those who wanted to know:

Jan 3 - 9: Raikou
Jan 17 - 23: Entei

If you are planning to get a Zoroark in Pokemon Black/White, having all three of these shiny legendary dogs are required to get Zoroark.
