thats wahat I figured just wanted to make sure it wasn't some crazy rule change
Yeah, but that ensures that this game is only a few months away for the US and Europe alike.

And yes Raikou sprite is wicked cool.

Also, anyone see what I see, look at the bottom of the screen of the Dialga Palkia fight, its weavile. Does that mean he is national dex then?
 
Great marsh is only a marsh because it's based on a real famous marsh btw. It's even in the same place in Sinnoh as it is on Hokkaido, pretty much.

And WCS? Is that world championships? If so I'm definitely participating in next year's VGC like I did this year. But with a better team of course. Though naturally I'm not entirely done, seeing as Shoe's at San Diego and we've been working together on VGC teams for ages now.

Weavile might not even be National Dex. By the way things are looking, 2nd gen new evolutions will be in the straight-up Johto Dex.
 
anyone know what the bar that has wcs 2010 on it says?

also no one has mentioned raikou's sprite, what do you think?

EDIT: i had the pic but its tiny, just go to pokebeach and look yourself- http://pokebeach.com/
If the rumors were correct on this (which they were on most everything else), I believe that it's saying something about Legendaries being allowed in the next Worlds competition (and thus the scan showing Dialga, Palkia, and Rayquaza). Of course, I'd rather wait on a better scan+translation of that part to make sure.

They're going to allow the Ubers next year?

I'm pissed about that, especially if it's going to be doubles again. It's so much easier to take advantage of permanent rain or sun.

If it ends up being a singles tournament and a doubles tournament for the VGC next year (not likely, though I can dream), the inclusion of Ubers won't be as big a deal (for singles at least, I still don't want them included in doubles)
 
Urk. It may actually be the case that next year's VGC allows ubers: note how Rayquaza's caught at lvl50.
I don't see why they would. We can already get Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Darkrai, Mew, Kyogre, Groudon, Lugia, Manaphy and Shaymin at level 50 or below and they're all still banned.
 
I noticed in one of the scans, Palkia and Dialga had their Platinum sprite, which is cool. Also, I wonder what's the 'new frontier facility' is all about.

His point is that they made this Rayquaza lv50 so that it won't get banned in next year's VGC, should it ever allows Ubers. Rayquaza, Mewtwo and Arceus are the only Ubers that you couldn't get at lv50 or lower. At least until now.
 
God they wouldn't would they, that's what I was concerned about with those screens and why I asked, but really allowing all pokes but ttar lord

I cant wait for the frontier, I love the one in Platinum (Hall Matron Argenta is my bitch). And I'm really excited that they are including Kanto...do you think that the Sevii Islands will be included?
 
BATTLE FRONTIER!!! YES!!!

Since the Apricorn Balls are back, maybe the Berserk Gene will be back too (although I don't really care if it does). Do you think they programmed the Apricorn Balls' pictures on DPP?
 
Sevii Islands basically served as a means to capture Johto Pokemon that weren't wild in RS, so I don't really see a reason to have them there.
 
Yeah, but it was such a fun place. Maybe they will have Hoenn or Sinnoh Pokemon this time around (provided that they are in the game)?
 
Well, Cianwood's Safari Zone is pretty big, and we have almost 50 routes and a shitload of dungeons, and that's because I'm not taking Pokéradar and swarms into account, or even the fact they may just leave some pokémon out so you have to get them from DPPt. I see no reason for Sevii, at least not one based on pokémon.

True, though Im thinking that almost all of the pokemon will be availible in-game, sort of like how you could obtain like over 460 pokemon just within Platinum.
 
Surely there has to be someone here speaks Japanese? We kind of need a translation on that VGC section: it's pretty important. No doubt it says something generic and woolly, but still it's useful to know what it says. All I can tell is that it's talking about are the VGC and TCG world championships, and that it's specifically mentioning the more powerful legendary pokémon (the Japanese classify the legends in several different categories, this one referring to the cover legends and other ubers) in the caption to the Rayquaza picture.

Anything else on this? I really do hope next year doesn't allow ubers. Seeing as uber doubles is, well, busted...
 
Apricorn's returning, new safiari zome and battle Fronter are all great.

It's wierd that Rayquaza is only Lv.50 though...

I dont know why Raquaza is level 50, but I dont think that VGC would be fool enough to allow Ubers (though I miss TTar with all my heart).

I guess that's exactly the reason this Rayquaza is lv50; it looks like next year's VGC will have Ubers allowed, but as the maximum level is 50, they decided to give us Rayquaza in this level. Then, only Mewtwo and lol Arceus would not be able to be used in VGC (and I'm sure we'll also get a lv50 Mewtwo in HGSS anyway).

Thats dreadful :(

If that is the case, then they damn well better un-ban Tyranitar :(

I really wish you would actually make an effort to have punctuation and capitalization in your posts, it's pretty hard to read and it makes you look like a poor poster. ;/


Anyways, yeah, from the scans it appears there is a chance that next year's VGC might include ubers. I have talked with BlueCookies and he said that he knows that mysteryman has a friend who can translate it. I also know that IPL can read Japanese, so maybe he can do it.

If they go with a style similar to JAA (which was also doubles and most ubers included), the ban list will probably be Mewtwo(if it can't be caught at lv. 50, I'm not sure about this. If it can, they'll probably allow it)/Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/Deoxys(all forms)/Darkrai/Manaphy/Phione/Shaymin/Arceus. They usually ban most events and event legendaries, so if VGC was changed to allow ingame ubers, this probably shouldn't really change a whole lot. Having Tyranitar banned and Rayquaza not being banned might be a little weird, so they might just have a lv. 50 Tyranitar event to fix this.


Either way, I am pretty anxious to see what the translated pictures say though. :P
