wonder how psychic/dragon and dragon/dark typings are...
mmmm...i'm not really seeing anything too great about the typing :/
though i think they both look...quite nice to be honest :D
 
I have a feeling they'll merely swap their colors. Black Reshiram, white Zekrom.


waha~

Ooh, like this?

Shiny Reshiram

Those actually look pretty sick. Reshiram needs more white on it and shading, though. Something tells me one of them will be pink, since one of the cover legendaries always contains pink and has a pink tinge to it (Lugia, Kyogre, and Palkia).
 
Yeah, too soon to have a full opinion of the music. Going by the footage however i like Hiun city theme, it kind of suits the big metropolis.

The new battle theme is very fresh, it sounds very different than previous themes.

I was actually going to say sorta the opposite about the battle theme! I was gonna say it sounds more similar to the ones in RB and GS as opposed to RS and DP where they both sounded totally different than anything previously. Not a bad thing, I liked the first two gen's battle themes, sorta frantic sounding. I guess that just shows how hard it is to accurately judge the music at the moment...
 
Ugh, I am so tired of Dragon legends! I know Dragon types symbolize God-like entities but seriously? Third generation in a row with Dragons for legends.

But...I do like the designs. They look super God-like! Zekrom looks amazing IMO.
 
first of all, i am going to NESgamer where he/she got that pic, cause i know its not the full version of the pic.

Lol it's not what you probably expect either, here: B&W girl

I agree PKMN Trainer Manson about the third and fourth gens sounding a lot different than the first two, you are probably right and i think this new battle theme sounds to me that way because i'm used to Dppt and HGSS. But yeah, it would be better to talk about music until the game is released and it leaks somewhere.

Thumbs up for Pachirisu evo "flying squirrel".
 
thumbs up for the flying squirrel too, altough the idea probably came from u-turn.

ah really? no stuff that need censorship in there NESgamer? you just ruined my day, but after seeying that i am going to repeat what i said a bunch of pages ago:what a fucking whore.

flying squirrel should learn nasty plot and get a base special atack of 105 and speed of 115, zapdos sweeping my ass, we got a new flying/eletric on the city.
 
The joke was the fact that Skarm actually doesn't learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact, which fully evolved 'mons usually get. It pretty much led to my personal in-joke of saying Skarmory deserves an evolution solely as a pun on how most people think things like Mawile and Sableye are getting an evolution simply because they lack said moves.
Well the DPPt story states that 90% of Pokemon are in some way tied to evolution. (493 Total Pokemon - 35 Legendaries)/493 Total = ~92%, so expect an evo or prevo for just about everything.
 
The new legend designs look very good to me, specially since they stray from the norm of pokemon design. seem they are a combination of creatures, and their tails are very unique unlike standard tails of previous Dragon legends. Thumbs up to both.

Exactly my point!! They get old after a while and I'm ready for a new dual type, something that will surprise everyone leaving them on their ass.

Exactly why I'm hoping for pure Flying on Reshiram, and two of Poison/Dark/Steel/Fighting on Zekrom. Until we get a report that doesn't sound like the word "Dragon" is referring to their species name, I'm staying hopeful.

I always imagined it as a speedy supporter with moves like Taunt, Screens, Encore, Switcheroo/Trick, etc. Give it >115 Spe and around +20 in each defense.
 
Whoa Pokemon Black looks pretty dang good. Wow I think we are going to be in for one heck of a ride for this game. Also I am suprised that they are coming out so soon. Hopefully more info will be forth coming.

"So soon"? I think we've mentioned multiple times in this thread that Gen V is right on schedule. Diamond and Pearl came out in the US in 2008 or '09, and Black and White are coming Stateside sometime next year, so, you know, three years is good enough. Hopefully that's enough time to introduce some interesting battle mechanics (like the EV/IV overhaul, natures, and abilities of Gen III, or the physical/special split of Gen IV).

Didn't they? I haven't touched my Diamond cart since Platinum came out, lol. That came out in '09, and if you haven't beaten it by the time Black and White come out, that's just sad.
 
This is why I don't do research: everyone else is so willing to do it for me! Thank you all for promoting my laziness. =P

Point is, it's been plenty of time since Gen IV started; it just feels like it hasn't been because HGSS just came out a few months ago. In the four years they'll have had between generations, GameFreak has basically had nothing but remakes to work on the whole time. Gives them plenty of opportunity to figure out some sweet gameplay tweaks, eh? Though they're obviously not going overboard, since you can transfer Pokemon from Gen IV to Gen V (hence the Zoroark event)...
 
Yeah, they definitely should. You would think if they have a system to compress matter it wouldn't be limited to 18 boxes of Pokemon.
