CH 1: Laboratory "Professor?" a sole voice called into the darkness. The laboratory had been plunged into complete darkness by a power failure. These power outages were nothing new, in fact they became common after the enigmatic Team Zero found and harnessed the power of an unknown legendary...

I'm with Kerjo: Started my game today (2 October) and it was Summer, not Spring. I also remember reading somewhere that it was the month that determined the season, not how long you had been playing.

More updates: I have fought Wattson with Lv 30 Mightyena, Nuzleaf, and Sableye. I fought Flannery with Lv 30 Mightyena, Nuzleaf, and Sableye. Her Torkoal knocked out my Mightyena (damn Overheat), but I finished her off with Sableye. Went to the desert, and caught a Cacnea. Current team...

I was just looking through the game, and making note of some interesting connections (some of which have already been pointed out). First is the relationship of Gochimu/Gochimiru/Gochiruzera family with Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir family. They're both Psychic-based "women", both have a connection to...

Speaking of the concept of "new islands", it should be noted that the Sevii Islands are based on existing minor outlying islands for Japan. America has many other outlying islands (there's a giant island as part of Rhode Island, Hawaii, etc...), but I think that if the islands are made for...

@Spikey: Giratina is about Dimension if I recall correctly, not antimatter. I'm also not entirely sure if this fits in with the discussion, but when do people think a Third Version would be released? I'd estimate, at earliest, a Fall 2012 release for it. Of course, we could see another Gen III...

If I had to guess right now, I would guess that the last game would be called Pokemon Gray. As far as the mascot goes, I'd also guess Kyuremu. However, I am interested (and hoping!) to see a few changes in the third game: First is Gym Leader rematches. I thought those should have been in BW...

Just the way this generation has been, I feel that Gen V will come out with a 3rd version, and we won't get the RSE remakes until Gen VI (which will be on the 3DS).

I rather like how the story was set up. It pulls you into the game a bit more than previous generations did. Of course, the battle of N and the legendary during the Elite Four, I both like and don't like. It's nice to have something so different, and yet it just seems like a poor place to have...

I know very little Japanese, but I still ordered a JP Pokemon Black more as a test to myself in playing a game in a language I can't really read (plus, I can raise a battling team early on, and trade them over when I get my English versions). As far as story and such goes, I'll wait for the...

In the lead up to my getting of Pokemon Black, I'm going to replay Pokemon Emerald using a Dark-styled team. Keep you updated on how things are going once I get started. Status so far: Started Emerald. Got Mudkip. Caught Poochyena. Trained Poochyena to Level 18, where it has evolved into a...

Rigray : It suddenly happened, 50 years ago, across the desert. No one has seen this Pokemon since then. Roswell, NM anyone? It seems like we have lots of alien Pokemon, but here are the first based on actual aliens. Clefairy came from the moon (supposedly). Lunatone and Solrock also have...

I never really paid much attention to how I leveled up my Pokes until after I played Pokemon Pearl, when Byron kicked my ass. Then I've gone with the general formula of being Level 15 for the first Gym, 25 for the second gym, and five more for each gym afterwards. Yes, it's a lot of grinding...

Waiting for it to arrive is the most challenging aspect of it right now. Then it'll be understanding the Japanese. Then... well I'll update you all on that when I finally have the game in my hands.

Yes AngelXavier: We saw the BW in Best Wishes long ago. It could also be, that based on the simple geography of the regions (Sinnoh is in Japan, and Isshu is in America), and based on simple economics at play, then it could be possible that Cynthia is not only researching legends, but also...
