Pokemon Black and White (SPECULATIONS ALLOWED HERE)

Looks like a Smeargle in the picture to me.

I wonder if the Dream World can be connected to without wifi, and there's some way to connect it directly to the computer.

 

[CRASHiC]

That picture is the evolved form of the crocodile pokemon. That, or the crocodile can stand on its hind legs.

Whoo, I just realized that GF changed one of my biggest problems with the graphics; the platforms!

It looks so much better smoothed out.

I only noticed that pokemons have shadows.

I only noticed that pokemons have shadows.

Yeah, neat huh? Moves with them and everything. Helps identifying fakes easier, too.

 

[Emperor]

well lookie here. Also I guess that's the new pc on the right

[The King of Harts]

I think I just thought of a pretty cool English name for Wargle:

Cherokeagle

EAGLAR DESTROYER OF MANY, HERO OF ALL

(EXCEPT THE ONES BEING DESTROYED I MEAN, LET'S NOT GET CRAZY HERE)

 

[satchmo]

i hope they give wargle earthquake, sword dance, and close combat. he's gonna need em if he wants to bat staraptor.

 

[ShedinjaGod]

I prefer Gloreagle

The new effect of the Sturdy ability looks nice too, it's like a Focus Sash.
Edit: I saw the videos on Psypokes, blue drops are falling on pokemon, are those stat drops?

Yes

 

[Nintenfreak]

I still prefer Eaglory.

 

[satchmo]

i say they should keep it wargle.

Shame that breaks the 10-character rule. Cherokegle doesn't though. I hope that it turns out to be a better version of Staraptor.

 

[Obsessed]

Wargle looks so cool. I like to think of him as an infinitely cooler version of Fearow.

 

[Urbanism]

I hope Mamepato's evolution looks equally as awesome. Hateboo looks pretty cool, hopefully they won't fuck it up.

..They probably won't, though. The only really ugly starter birds are Hoothoot and Noctowl.

 

[BuddyBlueBomber]

I really like Staraptor; it's the best beginning bird pokemon as of yet. This new pokemon should either be better as a whole compared to Staraptor, or fill its own niche instead of overshadowing it (Which it'll probably do anyways). It would be great if Wooguru got some very powerful attacks and/or coverage, just like how Close Combat was given to Staraptor.

Also, the new "Free-Fall" attack looks like it prevents the opponent from moving for the turn that it flies into the air. That could prove useful against teams that use effects over a certain amount of turns; such as Gravity, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rainy day, and the like. Also, any bulky pokemon that manages to get it would snag a free turn of Leftovers recovery. Not too bad of an effect, if you ask me.

I have a better name: Ho-oh Lite! I jest, of course.

Also, I have noticed something about Sturdy that may or may not have been mentioned already. People say it is now just like Focus Sash without using the item slot, but it is actually better than that. Theoretically, you could take a full OHKO hit, survive, then at some subsequent point Rest off the damage and switch out, getting a Cleric to revive you for later, and repeat the effect. Most Sturdy Pokes resist SR / SS too, so you could switch out the turn after the hit with Leftovers, then come in on something slower and unthreatening at 1 HP and completely restore yourself, in normal conditions. Since an ability is never permanently 'used up' during a battle, the Sash effect could potentially be repeated multiple times. It may add an extra dimension to ResTalk sets for these Pokemon, who knows?

 

[domeface]

@above: I was thinking about that, too. Looks like Skarmory now actually has a reason to choose an ability.

 

[satchmo]

wargle may have a niche already. encourage boost damage by attacks but negates secondary effects right? so what if it negates recoil from double edge and brave bird?

 

[Voltres]

On a wildly different note, has anybody noticed how the sprite of Leafeon on serebii atm is exactly the same as his DP sprite (like the legendary dogs), but Vaporeon has a brand new sprite?

 

[satchmo]

nope, never noticed

 

[PKMN Trainer Manson]

It almost surely won't do all that. "Secondary effects" is probably more like flinch, burn, paralysis, etc. chances.

I don't see it benefiting Wargle as much as Hihidharma if that's the case.

They seem to be reusing older sprites from DP/Pt/HGSS, which is wildly annoying to me and kinda lazy. Vaporeon's sprite seems to be from Pt.

thats true, but theres no way to tell for sure until BW.

 

[blasphemy1]

I think the base of the sprites are old; but they have animations. The sprites will be constantly moving, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. There's a difference between actual gameplay and screenshots, and I think we'll all be a lot happier when we see even older sprites in action.

 

[BuddyBlueBomber]

I think Encourage'll remove every secondary effect; beneficial and otherwise. It'll only effect moves that actually deal damage, though, and not ones whose primary ability is to cause status effects and whatnot.

Just think; STAB Take Down and Brave Bird without recoil plus whatever high BP/coverage moves that will be given? That sounds like even more of a powerhouse than Staraptor, even if Wooguru's attack would turn out to be lower. If it gets good defences (Which I doubt), it would work good with the ability Keen Eye and Leftovers in combination with Free-Fall to make a bulky attacker that can stall against some opponents. Hopefully, Keen Eye will actually have a useful effect this time around, but I doubt it would become that popular considering its offensive alternative and numerous weaknesses.
