Pokèmon Black & White Discussion

[Your Vest Friend]

Did Yahtzee not know that the first trick of Pokemon is not to have your Pokemon loundered with only one type of attack (unless you're very specialist)? Aw, poor Yahtzee!

I generally like his stuff, BTW.

[Blue Blood]

Gamefreak really, really suck for not adding a single trainer with Vullaby/Mandibuzz to White. It's impossible to get without trading with a friend or having some random luck on GTS negotiations seeing as you can't actually request one.

Hahaha, what am I saying? That's how it was in the past, isn't it? But still. It sucks.

Oh hey look, Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation fame actually reviewed Pokémon White.

inb4 reactionary rage

I'm not the biggest fan of Yahtzee (some of his videos I find hilarious and others I don't particularly care for), but this was a hysterical review. I loved his explanation of Pokemon literally being a kid with a brain implant drudging around in a basement with sacks of angry dogs and rats. XD Edited April 8, 2011 by chaoscontrol14

Is that time sensitive?

I personally can't be bothered worrying about that until I have too.

You won't belive this but...

Playing with some wild pokemon modifier AR in white post N's castle(With a new save file apart from mine) at route 4 where there is a surfing spot with 2 fisherman, after I deatcivated it and tried to go upstairs, at the end of the stairs, it makes like if I entered a room and I appeared in a room with two people. I searched and it turned out to be a room of Black City

. Does that mean that there's Black City data inside Pokemon White?

This is the room

And if I exit, I appear at the entrance of the Pokemon Center of White Forest, but without any grass to catch wild Pokemon. And if I use the world map, it says that I'm at Nimbasa City. Crazy huh?

[Rusty Spy]

Well obviously there has to be Black City data in the game, otherwise how would the games be able to interact with the opposite version's city/forest?

See the C Gear logo on the bottom screen? Tap it, and the icons change shape.

Also hitting the small X and clicking on things lets you move the icons around.

[Your Vest Friend]

My C Gear looks like a smiley face.

...And thus I contribute yet more nothing to this conversation. I need to find some things to do on my game, I can't go for the National Dex until I'm back in Stoke...

Toys R Us Egg Promotion Download and Promos

Toys R Us will be holding the same egg promotion that took place in Japan earlier this year in celebration of Ash’s new egg in the show: you will have the chance to download one of three eggs which will hatch into either Pidove (Ash’s), Pansage (Cilan’s), or Axew (Iris’s). The promotion will take place from April 27th to May 31st. Each of the Pokemon will have attacks and natures which correspond to their animé counterparts. Pidove will know Gust, Quick Attack, and Air Cutter, will have a Hardy nature, and will have its Attack IV maxed out. Pansage will know Bullet Seed, Bite, Solar Beam, Dig, will have a Brave nature, and will have its Attack IV maxed out. Axew will come with Scratch and Dragon Rage (“Dragon Sneeze”), will have a Naive nature, and will come with its Speed IV maxed out. Spoiler: The egg that hatches in the show is none of the above Pokemon; it’s a Pokemon that likes to pull up its pants.

Additionally, the store will be selling special TCG packs which come with one of the three Pokemon as promo cards. As the website says, “You can purchase Pokémon TCG: Black & White booster two-packs that include a secret promo card featuring one of the three Pokémon that may hatch from your Secret Egg!” Whether that means one booster pack with two cards or a blister package with two boosters and the promo is unknown.

Hope this comes to Europe, too.

Y'know, I've never been a huge fan of the anime, but I've always liked the idea of these giveaways of characters' Pokemon. I've never bothered to get one, but the idea still appeals to me. I only wish that the characters in the anime would give nicknames to their Pokemon; it'd make the whole thing that much cooler.

...actually, I wish they'd give nicknames to their Pokemon anyway. I guess it'd confuse the kiddies, but it'd make them feel a lot more like characters in their own right rather than just items the characters occasionally use. 'Sides, Pokemon in the anime say their own names all the time anyway, so it'd be hard to forget which species they actually are.

One of my biggest beefs with the anime is the lack of nicknames. I just think it's dumb that none of the major characters give their team members a name.

But I also hate how they repeat their names in the anime. I hope that NEVER happens in the games. u_u

[Saint Nathan]

Okay that Pansage sounds incredibly badassed.

Fuccck why am I such a grass-type.

Or even the Axew, that would be great. Just not the Pidove.

It does seem a little odd that only a few random trainers ever name their Pokémon. I mean, it'd be hella confusing if you had three dogs and just referred to them all as 'Dog'. What do you mean about repeating names? You mean how Pokémon just say their names? Cause yeah, most people hate that, and it's limited to spin-offs like SSB and Pokémon Channel.

[PSI Wind]

Also, while I remember. Go on the Global Link website tomorrow guys

[Kuzu]

Fuck yeah, I can finally make my Dream World Team.

Did we forget Richie the Ash Clone who disappeared into oblivion? He nicknamed all his pokemon.

Also they'll keep the original cries of the pokemon because there's really no ties to the anime, unless you count Yellow.

So wait, the Toys R' Us isn't actually giving away Ash's Scraggy? Wat.
