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

[Sarah]

N was never really a bad guy to begin with.

[Steveio]

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.

[CommanderJinn]

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

[Link]

I named my guy Link and my rival Ghirahim. I'm not sure what Pokemon to choose, though. 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.

[Razmos]

A mysterious shining charm that when held, makes it easier to encounter shiny Pokemon.

oooooooh

[Olsi]

oooooooh

Interesting, wonder how much more it increases it by

[Razmos]

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!

[Dredragon]

Hmm.. A black Haxorus. Me gusta.

[Abrasive]

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

[Secun]

mfw you can find eevees in a park

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

[Solarboy]

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

My team

Cookie for whoever is able to identify the nicknames and the reason those pokemon have them.

[hadriel]

Not laughing at Fiel and his Chinchilla.

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.

[Abrasive]

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

[Razmos]

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

[Secun]

Interesting, wonder how much more it increases it by

Rate goes to 1 in 2,370.6 chance compared to normal, also works with Masuda method for breeding.

We have a western release date: October 7th.

[Scaeva]

We have a western release date: October 7th.

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.
