Have they said what the name of the BW2 protagonist is? I hope it's better than Hilbert / Hilda.

We didn't know Hilbert/Hilda (or their Japanese names, Touya and Touko) until people had Black/White in their hands in their respective languages. So I wouldn't hold my breath on knowing that until later this month.
 
Explorer Kit was annoying with all the boulder removing in your secret base. But I loved the idea of digging for anything I wanted. Still got like 20 each of Fire, Thunder, Water .etc stones in my old Pearl game.

But! you where able to get those elemental stones for eevee and other pokemon
 
Surprising dearth of info about a game coming out this month. I guess you can get away with that when you're Pokemon.

Nah, it's more just that it's a second game (not a new gen), I guess. Or they're trying to avoid excessive spoilers by being more uptight with security.

It sure as hell doesn't resemble BW1's launch at all, lol.
 
BW1's lauch was different because a certain Spanish site (Pokéxperto? can't remember) somehow got their hands on a sprite+typing sheet with every Unova pokémon, and gave out as much as they could.

That and, of course, the naysayers. I was one of them, and I. Regret. Nothing.
 
Akuroma is part of Team Plasma. Not that you all didn't expect it. Lol

Akuroma said: "I was asked to help research for the match."
 
Interesting, very interesting. One thing to note.

WILD EEVEE FTW! I hope they're available early game, I love me some eevolutions.

Pretty big shopping mall looking environment, that should be interesting.

Then there was that medal thing that went to some sort of case with a counter for all sorts of medals... I wonder what that's about?

Looks like there's a frontier style battle format for the Champion battles, maybe the champions are like frontier brains from previous versions?

And clearly Akuroma has something to do with team plasma, but jumping to the conclusion he's evil is a bit of a leap. Remember, Plasma seems to have split. Maybe Akuroma is leading the white faction against Ghetsis? I also remember him saying he didn't agree with Plasma in the anime style trailer, which raises some questions.

Looks like there's something to do with reviving the Entralink what with that sprout that appears to be there. Probably a side objective of some sort.

And the bit with the Kami Trio's alt forms tells us bupkiss all, except for the fact they're not actually rehashing Articuno's sprite for Tornadus' beast forme (take that haters!). All we know is that Tornadus doesn't have an ability that gives a pop-up when it hits the field and that they come out of dream balls. While that does imply defiant (fuck), we don't know for sure yet...
 
No where does it show that an ability pops up for Tornadus-alt, so we still have no confirmation on the ability considering Prankster doesn't pop up either when they are sent out.

From this trailer we can also tell that Landorus will most likely have the same HP stat as it's HP implies that it had 16IVs (I think I did that right).
 
I suspected that since the animated trailer. He said something along the lines with "I don't agree with Team Plasma stealing Pokemon etc." which made me think that created his own branch of Team Plasma that had different goals. Anyways this game looks really cool, I can't wait for it. I also can't wait for all the new stuff to be released; hopefully it will spice up competitive play!
 
jimera:

defiant, as far as abilities go, is amazing. I'm not kidding. While it's terrible in singles, the ability to get a +1 attack boost somebody switches in Hitmontop is incredibly powerful in doubles.
