Yeah, I do like the Sacred Beast Form of Thundurus. But the forms of Tornadus and Landorus are pretty lame... Landorus' Sacred Beast Form is alright, but I think Tornadus' looks absolutely dumb.

Pretty sure this is some serious spoilers.

I guess they changed it right after I watched or something.

It was a very well-done ad for the games; fully animated with the characters and stuff.

That was... beautiful...

But kinda strange; a summary of the game's events before it even comes out. Huh.

Here's another one

Spoiler

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqu...omo_videogames

That was actually SO COOL.

Spoiler

So the Shadow Triad returns! New Team Plasma definitely looks much more menacing than before, and I guess that Akuroma guy is bad after all. Super interested now :D

Plus Elesa got a new haircut and outfit :P

If only the actual game had cut scenes like that in it, it would be so much more epic.

That was pineappleing awesome. I really can't wait for Fall to come now.

Debating on whether to finish leveling my current team to 100, or just wait to transfer them to Black/White 2 to use. Might wait now.

Hoped we coulda seen Hilda/Hilder though. He/She's probably hanging out on a mountain somewhere if history proves correct.

Inb4 Red.

That pomegranate was amazing. Can't wait for this game to come out!

I just pray that they make this more challenging and harder than the previous games. It has the potential to be good if they can pull that off. I don't want to defeat almost everyone when my party is level 50-55. I mean, that's just no fun.

Should honestly drop our piece of crap of an anime and just work on that instead. Pokemon anime should totally be like that.

But I bet that 4 minute ad was more expensive than a couple of episodes, just look at a movie and the quality is pretty much the same.

With Cheren becoming a Gym Leader and Bianca becoming the second coming of Juniper, I wouldn't be surprised to see white/black as the new Champion.

Damn...World Championship? Past Leaders?
Do I hear nostalgia knocking on my door?

Well, ''this'' is probably what would have been if they decided to follow the manga instead of creating an entirely new series as an anime.

The manga is known to be more ''realistic'', and even more violent at times.

Ash will probably stop in the next season, why?, because if you saw sinnoh's season, ash only lost because the other pokemon trainer used Legendary pokemon (Darkrai and latios) and the battle was fixed, he used gible against darkrai..... . So, if they want to continue the show like they did with pokemon battle frontier; for the pokemon world championship ash would need to be a champion and at this point if he doesn't win I'd just kill the entire group who make the anime... ( I know all this because my cousin watch the japanese show and I download the show for him every friday.... and yeah i watch it some times for pikachu).

The final sinnoh battle:

The final sinnoh battle:

---

They had no problem pulling a top-tier plot device out of their ass to stop Ash from winning and keep him going. They'll find a way to keep Ash going again.

/* The problem with ash is the fact that ash either can't train or just prevents his pokemon from evolving. In the final sinnoh battle, he could have had an infernape, staraptor or garchomp (I think he also had gliscor and torterra at the time), but instead he has gible and swellow. It would've been much more appealing/exciting to have more of that other guy's team revealed (we only saw darkrai and latios; he's got 4 more, possibly all legendaries or pseudo-legends) and it comes down to the wire with ash only having one pokemon left, his opponent with two; one at around half health and one at full health. Whether he nearly makes that amazing comeback but falls short of have him pull out the most mind-blowing victory ever out of the situation, it would cause far more tension and suspense instead of knowing "oh, this is going to be a quick loss. Better just get it over with." */

The simplicity of the anime is why I don't watch it anymore. Every episode has ash and friends walking somewhere and either helping someone, fending off team rocket or both. If you're really lucky, you might get to see a gym battle... that he'll almost certainly lose, learn some "lesson" and come back the next day for an easy victory that leaves you scratching your head. ugh

Now, about BW2, the new formes look aweomse, "world tournament" is what I've been dreaming about ever since HGSS did amazingly with gym leader and E4 rematches and the expanded pokedex adds far more diversity to the region. I can't wait till this comes out, I'm certainly going to get it.

That sinnoh final battle was such bull T.T

And the pokemon b/w 2 promo looks awesome

Keldeo has never been officially released and they have already given it a new form. (and it's a damn stupid one too. Keldeo just seems like the most useless boring pokemon ever created)

It was the same with Shaymin in Gen 4, it wasn't catchable in Diamond and Pearl without hacks or glitches, and then it is released along with its Sky form in Platinum. So why the hell was it even in Diamond and Pearl if you couldn't catch it? >_>

Compatibility reasons. Also they may have had the idea to release it before Black 2/White 2 ever came into the picture development-wise.
It's the same deal with Kyurem's Ice Burn/Freeze Shock attacks.

I absolutely love the previous generation pokemon showing up in this game, look at the possible team set ups:

Quote:

---

The magazine, Dengeki, has provided a first few glimpses at the early areas of Black 2 & White 2. This includes the routes of Route 19/20 as well as all the areas. It states that the first Pokémon you will encounter is a guaranteed shiny Patrat.
Areas in south west: Sangi Ranch, Route 20, Tachiwaki City, Pokewood, Sangi Town, Route 19, Aspertia City, Tachiwaki Complex
Route 19 has Patrat and Purrloin within it
Route 20 has Sewaddle, Pidove, Dunsparce, Audino, Purrloin, Patrat, Venipede & Sunkern
Sangi Ranch features Lillipup, Riolu, Pidove, Azurill, Dunsparce, Audino, Mareep, Patrat & Psyduck
Tachiwaki Complex features Pidove, Magby/Elekid, Growlithe, Audino, Magnemite & Koffing

---

A lot of these pokemon are ones i've never used before. I mean come on, Sunkern? I've always wanted a Sunflora but by the time i get one in a game i'm too far into it for the pokemon to actually be useful, same with Magby/Elekid. Being able to evolve them as i'm going through the game will be awesome.

Koffing and Magnemite are also pokemon that i haven't used since i played Pokemon Red around 10 years ago

The original Team Plasma uniforms were pretty ridiculous to begin with.

The new uniforms make them look like super secret agent spies or black ops or something, which I find even more ridiculous for some reason.


Also dumb theories:

- Knight-Plasmas are still loyal to N and his ideals
- Black Ops-Plasmas are loyal to Ghetsis and his "ideals" (which I suppose is obvious given they're going back on the generic "take over the world with Pokemon" thing)

- N is a good guy this time around, and his Knight-Plasma Grunts are/will be in some kind of conflict with Ghetsis's Black Op-Plasma Grunts

N was never really a bad guy to begin with.

True. He was an antagonist, though, which is what I meant in terms of "good guy".

Some people on 2ch got the games early, and they're reporting in on game info as they play. Many spoilers so be warned.

Seems like each Leader/Champion have use the battle music from their respective regions in the world tournament.

I named my guy Link and my rival Ghirahim. I'm not sure what Pokemon to choose, though. :f1: In the previous versions, I chose Pokabu for the Black Version and Tsutaaja for the White Version. I might do the same this time... Actually, before I dive too far into this, I should probably finish the first two games. >_> I don't even remember the story



Hot damn. The first battle in the game gives a ton of experience compared to previous games - almost two full levels.

I imagine that it wouldn't be much help if you are casually wandering around in the grass looking for shinies, but if you make a pokemon hold this and then soft-reset for a legendary or another interactable pokemon...

I really want that level 35 Volcarona, shiny!

Hmm.. A black Haxorus. Me gusta.

I wanna start playing bw2 but im gonna be so lost if i do =(

mfw you can find eevees in a park :glitter:

mfw only way to said park is through some sewers filled with zubat and ratatta :ohno:

So far the game is better than Black/White. I'm about to face the 4th gym and I'm also severely underleveled.

I always, always, have a magnemite (or its evolution) in my team. Stops most stuff (in the game that is, not competitive).
VOLCARONA, LVL 35? ME WANT! Riolu... riolu... hmm... I'll think about it. Nice all-rounder for me.

Hadriel

I don't know how many people on SP are into competitive Pokemon but Pokemon Online made a beta program for Black and White 2 with all the new forms and move tutor options. I thought it'd be fun to play with the people here. the DL link is http://sourceforge.net/projects/poge...p.exe/download
Leave me a pm or respond here if you wanna battle :f2:

You can get a hidden-ability Ditto from the Hidden Hollows.

October 12th for Europe though.

I got really angry when I found out that the Challenge and Assist Modes are version exclusive (and that you have to beat the Champion to unlock them). Why can't they just let people play the game the way they want to play it?! And if it's true that you can only transfer the keys using infrared I'm not going to have access to Challenge mode anytime soon.

That's surprisingly early, I was expecting it to release in late November or something.

Genesect is finally revealed.
