5th Gen The Generation Five Speculation Thread

[SolarAbusoru]

The hugh resolution pictures aren't too bad. I do agree with whoever said that the Zorua sprite looks ugly - it really does and I hope it is just a beta sprite. Otherwise, nicer screens - I'm still wondering what that car is for. XD

1.The screens are distorted and stretched so that's obs not what the actual screen'll look like on the actual DS
2.That's a Truck pulling a trailer, not a car.
3.Discussion about current info goes into the other thread.

now, onto more speculation.
I think, our chances of this being a region far from the rest is now more plausible, and the possibility of an underwater city or an underground city, more likely, especially seeing as the city slightly reminds me of Gateon port so this might be a Colosseum/XD ref we could be getting.

not many people have enough courage to actually minimod a moderator. thats like asking a moderator to join your forum and expecting to get away with it. also they said

that is speculating.

anyways the cars, excuse me, trucks (like it matters..) probably have no purpose. maybe one or two events in the game use one but nothing for main game play. they are just there to make it more realistic.

He made both threads... stop being so arrogant dude.

Anyway, Serebii says that the Raikou, Entei, and Suicune events will unlock something in Black and White... what if you have to have one of them for Zorua to evolve?

serebii said it might. the official site said it will unlock something and did not specify in which game. serebii is assuming it will in bw because he doesnt know if there is anything left in hgss

 

[Haza]

HGSS has been searched through up and down. There is nothing left. It could only be for Black and White.

Well, this is my first comment on the games since hearing the great news, so...

I'm really excited for these ones (despite the fact I'm still stuck in Generation III...). Oddly enough, I first found out the news on the Spriters Resource website, and instantly checked back on Bulbapedia's Bulbanews. The editor said that "Black and White were announced", and I knew that could only be referring to Pokemon (since Pokemon's the only thing these days that comes in 2 distinct versions these days)... :)

It's nice that the back sprites are getting improved... I was hoping that these games would feature the 'action' that Junichi Masuda said he'd like to see implemented in the games a few months ago, but it appears that we will still be getting the turn-based variant. Unless I am somehow proved wrong, which, in this case, would be awesome!

Still a glimmer of hope for Light-types, though...

As for the naming, I was really hoping for the names Garnet and Jade in order to be a throwback to the original Red and Green, similar to how Ruby and Sapphire evoke similar colors to the original stateside-released Red and Blue. Maybe next generation (and more jewel names in the future). I'm really glad that Black and White (abbreviated weirdly with initials BW) evoke thoughts of a grayscale screen, which is essentially the roots of gaming all the way back to the original monochrome screen of the Game Boy. Seems fitting for a franchise rebirth.

I'm going to hold out for the 'third version' of BW, and if it's not titled by the easily-predictable name of Pokemon Gray, we're going to have a problem here!

The logos actually look pretty awesome; despite a minor quirk I have with the faint 'grid lines', they seem like fresh designs (although I think the Black Version logo mimics a logo for a story I made before the reveal of BW). Hopefully, the English logos look just as awesome (retaining the white thick font introduced with RSE, and with the actual Pokemon logo being in stylized black-and-white, not the traditional blue-and-yellow.) I'm interested to see 'Gray Version's' logo, though.

The car mention seems sort of out-of-place if it replaces the bike, but it could be an interesting feature to see...

Here's to awesome Gen 5 games! :D

EDIT: I will lol if I hear anyone playing either MJ's or Katy Perry's Black or White during release day. That'd be cool, as they are 2 of the few songs that actually 'reference' a color scheme in Pokemon versions.

1. You'll find that you're wrong. Firstly, the screen isn't distorted on stretched at all. If you look at the size of the screenshot, it resembles the actual size of a DS screen. This shows that it's highly likely a ripped screenshot from the DS itself of a close picture taken by a professional. Either way, it's not distorted or stretched and that it how it will look on a DS (granted, the graphics may change)

2. Pardon me for the way I say things. I mostly point out most automobiles as "cars" and I don't think it's a huge end of the world situation that I called a truck a car.

3. Oh, I'm sorry if you currently know every single information about the truck. If you do, please post it in the other thread so we can discuss it. Otherwise, we know nothing about the picture, so it still counts as speculation. Oh, and I did say "I wonder what" which is normally a basis for speculation.

I loled at this post, awaiting the eventual and inevitable @$$ kicking.
And then I saw ^ post, and it exceeded my expectations. XD

I really can't wait for these games...although I actually wish that I didn't know about them yet...I'm gonna spend the next months searching the whole internet after every little piece of information, and therefore spoiling the game for me. XD

I wonder what they'll reveal on Sunday...hope it's not the starters...

 

[loliwin]

Maybe this time they should introduce 8-way or possibly 360 degree moving. :)

I just hope that Game Freak keeps most of the new Gen V Pokemon under wraps for as long as possible, since so many of us gamers are prone to incessantly searching for new information and ruin the 'new-world' experience we coveted from our original Pokemon gaming experience. I mean, I'm not even in Gen IV yet, and I know all of it's info nearly as much as I know the in-depth info of Gen III...

Yeah, I also hope they don't spoil with too much info.

 

[Miralci]

I still hope they won't call the third version Gray... :/ Gimme a Rainbow! xD
Legendaries: A black one, a white one, and one with lots of colors! Since we already have Ho-oh as a "rainbow bird", I doubt it will be a bird. In fact, I think none of the legendaries will be birds, unless they really want to refer too Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres+Lugia/Ho-oh, but I doubt that.

So we've had birds, dogs/cat's (whatever, you what I mean), and dragon-like creatures (or what are Groundon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina?)... What's left? Legendary fish? xD

(Sorry if I spelled some of the names wrong...)

 

[Mason69]

I also would love to have a game with all of the regions on it.
But I doubt it will happen...

I was just trying to be a little helpful, not arrogant. I misread ok, no need to go ape on me. I won't act like that again, sorry. (I just have trouble understanding the way some people speak.) I don't like arguments and stuff carrying on for too long.
now, please ,letting bygones be bygones.
back to some discussion stuffz.

 

[loliwin]

How about a Pokemon that is both Black and White?????lol michael jackson pokemon version

Nah, I doubt it would work. But they could always put some legendary horses in. xD

No problems. I didn't go ape, by the way, I was more stating the facts.

Oh, and do you guys think that the 3D suits a handheld console like the DS? Or more of a Nintendo Wii style game? Personally, I would prefer it on the Wii but I guess Pokemon is all about the portability.

 

[SolarAbusoru]

I say 3D suits the DS, the homeconsoles can't have all the fun with 3D, besides, as I've stated many times before, 3D terrain + Sprites = awesome.

Been looking at the clearer screenshots and I'm no closer to figuring out what sort of hat the boy is wearing. The bridge picture kinda makes it look like a baseball cap (it looks like there's a 'hole' in the back), but I don't know. It'd be weird if both the boy and girl wore the same type of hat.

Speaking of the bridge pic, I say it's a footbridge. The red guy on the motorbike aside, it's just way too narrow for a Cycling Road.
