Are you guys going to be choosing black or white? I'm thinking White becuase of Zekrom, but I'm going to wait to see the big difference. Is there any info about it?
for the record, tsutaajaa has electricity since the triple battle is versus a shimama, chiraamii and mijumaru, and shimama shocked it.
You can only get it by breeding a Ho-Oh with a Ditto. And it won't evolve into Ho-Oh. :(
It loses Sacred Fire, and it gets worse base stats.
85/104/72/88/120/72 would make sense.
the only info (which I believe is unconfirmed at this point) about further differences is that there will be two areas that are different depending on the version. Black City and White Fortress they were called in the rumour, I believe.
could be neat, depending on how it works. A City and a Fortress sound different enough, and personally I think it might lead to there being different gyms in them. both with different types preference (for example, Dark gym in Black City, and Steel gym in White Fortress).
Welcome to the forums, by the way :D
I think it looks like a single-stager. With the likes of Absol, Carnivine, etc.
That would be intresting difference between the two games. There might even be different teams like Aqua/Magma. Their hideout could be in the city/fortress.
Uh did no one else look at that silhouette and think "Griffin!" Because that's exactly what it looks like to me.
I did, and for a second I was SOOO excited... but then I noticed it had no hind legs, which Griffins have.
I then cried.
it's legs make it look like it's based off an eagle.
notice how they look like pants? unfortunate, since Vultures are much more bad ass in my opinion.
Ah, damn it. I'm going to continue believing it's a griffin and that gamefreak just isn't up to date on the number of legs its mythological analogues should have.
Daaaaammmn, I was really getting my hopes it might have been using Charge. Oh well, thanks for confirming this!
@Jujumoi: Yeah, that's what I mean. It looks like a Pokemon that's just not going to evolve. It doesn't look like something that would evolve further, yet they wouldn't show a Pokemon evolution before its earliest stage.
Lucario? Cherrim? Drapion?
Also, I remember that back in 3rd gen, they showed Pelipper way before Wingull.
they also showed blaziken way before torchic
I honestly did forget all those, or rather I wasn't think about them, but I meant shown as a silhouette... Unless some of those were silhouettes too (I remember Blaziken, Lucario, and Drapion weren't at least). At which point, you got me, I'm wrong.
Dude you're so high.
well if you ignore the legs completely, the upper part of the body looks alot like a griffin O.o it's just the legs that throw it off.
Also, seriously, if that bastard turn out to be another goddamn hawk and not a majestic-ass eagle I will be quite pissed.
Oh yeah I remember that. It was revealed alongside Sharpedo (another example) and Shroomish.
Yeah, Drapion wasn't silhouetted, Blaziken I can't remember, but I'm pretty positive that Lucario was. I kinda rememeber ppl speculating what it was.
That head/tail is exactly like Spearow..even if it makes no sense to silhouette it, I'm betting on a Fearow evo
