vibratingcat April 10th, 2010 3:28 PM

It would just be a interesting feature. It's really never going to happen though. :s

I agree,battling does get boring. Mostly at places with endless trainers like the Battle Tower or just trying to grind experience or stat training.

Of course. They never show anything before CoroCoro. God, I wish I had a subscription to that magazine.

hahaha but they're awesome! they're the typical japanese who get over-excited about everything. and they're kinda funny.
as for the screens shown... FINALLY!!! proper roads and tall buildlings!!!
don't rly like the looks of the protagonists though....
the town looks maaad!

Netto Azure April 10th, 2010 3:36 PM

Well here I was hopint it would use the NDS-3D Capabilities. But at least I can still play it in my DSLite. XD

Still I spazzed when I saw Serebii. :P

lx_theo April 10th, 2010 3:56 PM

With the new camera angles, you think they will let you rotate the camera now (From like North, East, West, and South angles)? The buildings seem tall and That would probably help navigation in general.

That might happen,just in case there are blocking buildings or such. Things that block are most likely going to happen in these new games.. I'd like to see the transition though. Hopefully it won't be an automatic angle switch,hypothetically speaking. o:

spike6958 April 10th, 2010 4:08 PM

Well from the screens show I'll not be moving from HG/SS to B/W it looks terrible in 3D IMO, 3D was somthing I once wanted but now it's ruined Gen5 for me.

I kind of agree...Whilst I do think it looks awesome, part of me thinks it looks messy. I was really hoping they'd wait like one more year or so to get it on the 3DS so we could have better visuals and have the games feel more like a new generation; currently I just feel it's an add-on to Gen IV. The DS can handle 3D, but more often than not it's pretty bad, especially when you mix sprites in.

Still can't wait for the games mind you; really excited. Just my two cents.

Agent Clank April 10th, 2010 4:30 PM

IT LOOKS AWESOME! :D
Everything About It Does,To Me and My Bro.
Can't Wait

Hamilton April 10th, 2010 4:31 PM

i think it looks great- would you rather them keep going with the same thing they've done since D/P? that'd be stupid- new gen, new graphics
OH also a was reading a translation and it said that there would be a new mode of transportation- what do you think?

I agree. There's no where else to go but up in the direction they're taking graphics. And since each generation introduced an advance in graphics, I think the only thing left to do is to make it more 3D than it is in Generation IV.

I heard that mode of transportation could be cars. And I certainly hope that's not the case.

i don't want cars either- skateboards or Rollerblades or something would be nice imo

Kirbychu April 10th, 2010 4:40 PM

I want a TM named Dash, that allows you to ride your Pokemon outside of battle. I'd love that. In battle it would be a normal-type move, with 60 BP that would have a possibility of raising your speed.. All Pokemon of a certain size and larger would learn it, excluding the fishy Pokemon, Magcargo, etc..

I don't think they should introduce any new modes of transportation.

Edit: After reading Kirbychu's reply, I think riding upon a Pokémon of yours would be rather neat!

What I'm worried about is what the majority of America will react to the names of the Generation V games. Racism isn't much of a problem in Japan compared to other parts of the world, and I assume they would have thought of that. I'm sure some ignorant, naive people will consider their game titles racist and people who buy one game prejudice compared to the other. >>

Pokémon Marble and Pokémon Granite would have been more logical choices to avoid these assumptions, but I guess they wanted to go back to colors opposed to stones and metals. I assume they have a reason. Then again, arguably, all of the recent additions to the Pokémon games could be considered colors as well.

Oh my god yeas that would be AMAZING
that should be the new mode of transportation! but only certain pokemon like houndoom, arcanine, rapidash (basically big things with four legs) would be able to learn it- i would LOVE that

The Fame Monster April 10th, 2010 4:45 PM

i just really hope they still have the pokemon following you =( but judging from the screenshots..

Nick April 10th, 2010 4:46 PM

I wish they'd get rid of HMs in this generation. :(

Code April 10th, 2010 4:51 PM

I really hope there won't be a Gen 6....Gen 2 was far enough IMO, but then again, pokemon would have died out then....And the wonderful remake would never have been made...
But I'm actually looking forward to this game. Mostly the graphics. Trying not to get my hopes up on the new pokemon. Zuroka-whatever-you-call-him was a disappointment to me....=(

seeing as pokemon is more popular then ever they wont stop making new games.

lets say you were making millions from making new types of sharpeners. would you stop just because you made a lot or would you keep on doing it for the money?

dragon0fangz April 10th, 2010 4:59 PM

I think you people are being pessimistic. It's best to hope for the best.
I also think you can never have enough pokemon, even if they start repeating each other...
It would make the game, and the fandom, more interesting.
And maybe it will suck, but i KNOW it will be better than DPPt.

3D graphics would be fine, IF they had a handheld that could pull them off well, which the DS does not, they should stick to the classic plan of releasing ONE gen per handheld, and wait for the 3DS which might actually be able to handle 3D graphics without it looking like someone took a dump on the screen, and so yes if Gen5 HAS to be on DS I would much rather they used the great graphics they have from HG/SS to make another beautiful looking region like Johto was, rather than these dull, boring, and downright terrible 3D graphics they are using, but to be honest I don't want Gen5 on DS at all, I want it on a handheld that can handle 3D graphics and make them look great.

Krobelus April 10th, 2010 5:03 PM

Ehh.. personally I'm more interested in what new game mechanics they have cooking up. I mean the screenshots look pretty nice, and I like how you can actually see buildings in the background. Maybe you'll be able to see trees and stuff if you're battling in a forest?

Either way I hope that Gen.5 is the final generation. I really hope they port the handheld concept of gaining badges and traveling with your Pokes in real 3D on the Wii. I mean they have enough Pokemon to work with now. I can totally imagine HG/SS in a 3D world.. *drool*

XaiXo April 10th, 2010 5:03 PM

I think it'd be quite nice to have a different set of starters this time around, rather than fire/water/grass.

like i already said it wont be the final generation. nintendo isnt out for your pleasure. they want your money. they will keep allowing the creation of pokemon unitl you stop buying it.

people have been saying the generation that is coming out should be the last one since the second generation.

Dillon_68 April 10th, 2010 5:07 PM

Has anyone noticed the curved shape of the street? It strays aways from the straightness of the past Pokemon games which leads me to think that it would be harder to navigate with the standard one-block movement. What if it is stylus controlled walking like in Spirit Tracks.

Would really like this, I'm not even sure why we needed a "balanced" trio of types as starters every single generation.

Yuoaman April 10th, 2010 5:07 PM

I sincerely hope that there isn't eight-directional movement in this generation, it just wouldn't mesh well with the Pokemon gameplay. I do love the battle system, however. :3

Esmas April 10th, 2010 5:08 PM

I must say, I really hate the heroine's sprite they used :(

Code April 10th, 2010 5:08 PM

Oh, how I hope there aren't any new types....It's going to destroy the system. Either the new Gen introduces too many of them, or too few. Or they have too many weaknesses, or too few. D=

Steel and Dark were introduced to fix the over powered psychic type. I hope they're not trying to fix something that works perfectly already....=(

i dont see how it could destroy the entire system, just adding one or two new types..

but i doubt they will anyways

lx_theo April 10th, 2010 5:14 PM

I get the feeling they might add light type, considering the black and white theme.


EDIT: Both the hero and heroine sprites look like wretched designs, the hero more so though

Esmas April 10th, 2010 5:14 PM

I mean they could've made it better...like, her head's huge and the simple white and pink is too plain imo.

EDIT: Actually, looking at the hero and all of the other sprites, they sort of made their heads too big or high up...

Dillon_68 April 10th, 2010 5:15 PM

^Hopefully all of this is tentative.

Fli April 10th, 2010 5:15 PM

I'm kind of iffy on these. I, personally, don't like the really tall (aka 3D) buildings, because I feel like I will just get lost. I do like the female sprite this time (I will never ever be Lyra, because I hate her hat/hair) but I think the whole baseball cap is a little strange. The male sprite is the one I dislike, but he might be better once I can see clearer/more pictures of him.

Kirbychu- Your idea is awesome. I would love to ride my pokemon outside of battle, but I would like it if you could actually see what the pokemon is (unlike that blob of dark blue for the surfer <-- yep, it looks exactly like my slowpoke).

The black and white theme will probably only be in the mascot designs.

And I agree.

I know, I know, I just hope the peeps making the game don't feel that they have to add fresh elements to the battle system. Don't get me wrong, change is good! But not too much...XD

I'm also curios as to why they named it Black and White...what is the back story, or the legendary behind it? I hope they're going back to the originals, by having 2 of the starters on the cover. =D
Mmmm, Dark type starter...XD

black and white is probably yin and yang. not light and darkness.

Well it's supposed to be something revolutionary, according to Game Freak, and the trailer for the game basically says it's a completely new take on the universe, but I'm guessing the story might be a lot more...simple.

I ares shtoopid. Yin and Yang didn't even cross my mind, even though they couldn't be more obvious. Well, I guess this is what 3 hours of sleep does to you. XD
I sure hope the pokes don't have the symbol on their bodies....then they'll remind me too much of Renamon (or whatever you call it) from Digimon. XD

インフェルノの津波 April 10th, 2010 5:37 PM

Way to torture a guy guys, by making him read 8 pages.

I personally would love stylus control walking, but it would be improbable. Oh well, I hope for the best

NO SAYING ANYONE IS CRAZY, EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS YEESH

I would love to see clouds in the game though.

Swolligator April 10th, 2010 5:41 PM

by the looks of it, the city with the rounded edge streets will have a self rotational camera.
so when you walk around the city on thoes streets, it follows along the line of the street, with you in the centre, going down streets like the one in the middle will most probably make the camera follow you in.

shot571 April 10th, 2010 5:41 PM

the pokemon dont seem to follow you anymore. the pokemon center is cool though. i think they couldve improved more on the battle sprites

Sigh, I hope Pokemon Follow Me! is a feature. Maybe it'll be optional? I love the battle style this time though. Maybe we'll see more interaction during battles? (Your Pokemon showing its hurt from an attack, maybe a pose for when its health is in Green, Yellow and Red, then a K.O. pose)

Actually I'm the same about liking Gen III better, way better graphics (compared to the previous) + running + simple = win. Anyways, before writing any of my opinions, I'm waiting for more info and pics.

Heh heh, Generation III for the win.

I really do hope that the following Pokemon is implemented. :P

Weatherman, Kiyoshi April 10th, 2010 6:26 PM

Hm, consitering the names,
and the style of the Hero (kinda looks like Red's design),

Black and White could be some form of "sequel" to G/S/C times?
Like, maybe you're the Son/Daughter of Red, and you have moved to a new region? (Like Ru/Sa/E)

I dunno, just a thought.

These snapshots are really blurry, so I don't know what to say about the quality of the Character OWs. :/

The Girl I can also see as this theory, because she bears resemblance to a Female Red.

I have to agree with Hamilton, The Girl seems pretty unique of a style this time around.
(But they always do better with the Girls than the Boys. But, Gen III was an exception to this rule. Brendan was the best Male they ever had, in my opinion :D)

Gulpin April 10th, 2010 6:41 PM

I just thought of something:
You know how in HG/SS when you were on the lighthouse and on top of the tall building in Celadon, when you went back your sprite seemed to move really slow? Well, looking at the pictures, it reminds me of the same layout type thing. If you don't know what I'm talking about go to the lighthouse to the part where you are outside but like halfway up.

PsychoJigglypuff April 10th, 2010 6:42 PM

...Is it just me, or does the girl sprite look like she has a beard in that one picture?

EDIT: On closer inspection, it just looks like the hair on the side of her head, but at first glance it totally looked like a beard.

lx_theo April 10th, 2010 6:44 PM

I still really hope they have customizable characters, or at least customizing looks and clothes for the main characters. Then people would be happier :)

Hamilton April 10th, 2010 6:46 PM

to me the boys sprite seems a little girly- i mean the pink hat... i don't liek pink on my character (unless it's the girl)
and is it just me or does the gril have a butterfly ponytail?

Well, we all have to remember that these are Beta SnapShots, and not finalized.
Drastic changes can/possibly happen by the time they're realeased later this year in Japan.

I mean, Look, here was a snapshot of D/P when it was coming out:

Notice how the Rival is not who he seems?

or, perhaps pre-release Shellos and Gastrodon should convince you?:


Hey, remember the exact kind of screenshot of battles we got back in Gen III for Gen IV? I do!:


Trust me, these screenshots are too early and too blurry for final cuts, so we might as well stop worrying about it. :3

but yeah, i lvoe the girls butterfly ponytail and i hope it stays

Gulpin April 10th, 2010 7:05 PM

Another epiphany:
R/B/Y - Started it all with a new story, etc, etc.
G/S/C - Followed the story from R/B/Y with a new character and actually battling the famous trainer from R/B/Y (Red)
R/S/E - New story with no connections to R/B/Y or G/S/C.
D/P/Pt - New story with no connections to R/B/Y, G/S/C, or R/S/E.
B/W - Story connected with G/S/C? I think so! Maybe we will battle the famous Gold and be related to Red?

Maybe they went back to normal colors so it would make more since with the stories of the first two gens so all of the stories that are connected through the generations will be colors.

G/S/C - Followed the story from R/B/Y with a new character and actually battling the famous trainer from R/B/Y (Red)
R/S/E - New story with no connections to R/B/Y or G/S/C.
D/P/Pt - New story with no connections to R/B/Y, G/S/C, or R/S/E.

well actually D/P/pt did have minor connections with G/S/C
if any references at all, i think this game will reference R/S/E alot

The hero hat is Red and he has brown shoes.

It did, but not many major refrences, besides Jasmine in Sunnyshore. I really think it will be like what G/S/C was to R/B/Y but this time to G/S/C. If that makes since.

I think it's just a lighter shade of Red and with the quality of the photo it looks like pink.

Izanagi April 10th, 2010 7:27 PM

Red's hat? No, that looks like ASH's hat.

Yea, It is. It's just because the picture was taken not that well.

I'm sure some ignorant, naive people will consider their game titles racist and people who buy one game prejudice compared to the other. >>

Pokémon Marble and Pokémon Granite would have been more logical choices to avoid these assumptions, but I guess they wanted to go back to colors opposed to stones and metals. I assume they have a reason. Then again, arguably, all of the recent additions to the Pokémon games could be considered colors as well.

American's find a way to complain about everything. pokemon has been a target of adult americans since it first came out. the first movie was criticized as completely useless movie making with no lesson or legitimacy as a movie. they got schools to ban kids from bringing cards and stopped their kids from watching it. no matter what there's something wrong with something to americans

i'm not a stupid racist?

yeah , well most Americans are stupid racists, then if they think the games are racist. I don't know what's wrong with the adults in this country either

hey, when did this turn into a war of the stereotypes? just sayin'...
only REALLY stupid people (and they don't just live an america) would take the names as racist- it's a children's game- even if they did make a big issue, it would just show the world how stupid said people are

It won't be a big issue. People on the internet will have their fun, a few racist images will pop up here and there, then it will all blow over. I'm positive that nothing IRL will be affected.

yeah, that's what i'm thinking
i got off track though.. what was i going to say...... darn, i'll remember in the morning i guess

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 10th, 2010 8:07 PM

what do you guys think the ruby and sapphire remakes are going to be named. These are some of my thoughts : Magmaruby, Crimsonruby, Terraruby, AquaSapphire, AzureSapphire, ventusemrald (as in wind, sky,ect.emerald). I'll like to know your thought and sorry about " most Americans are racist" thing I over exaggerated with that, Hamilton.

Wow that really F#4343%$ offensive, cause not all or most of us is racist. That really stupid of you to think that, you must not even be american and nor have hardly studied american or even stepped one inch inside the country. So until you do, I suggest you don't talk crap about it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 10th, 2010 8:09 PM

I am american, I know english, and besides I already said I was sorry so sorry

Should be, saying that, a pure example of disgrace.

Pokemon Liver Ruby and lower intestine Sapphire?
lol no but seriously, maybe Magma ruby and Aqua Sapphire would be the best

ok, sorry to be mini-modding here, but let's not turn this into a hate war fueled by one mis-interpreted comment

PsychoJigglypuff April 10th, 2010 8:14 PM

Yeah, just because something is "black or white" doesn't make it racist. Ipod Classics aren't racist, and the two color choices are black and white. I thought we were past all of this kind of stuff.

I don't want to talk about that anymore, let's just continue predicting what the game itself will be like.

I think it would be silly if they named the RSE remakes anything other than Magma Ruby and Aqua Sapphire.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 10th, 2010 8:16 PM

yeah that's why I made Magmaruby and Aquasapphire for my name the best names ( in my opinion) for remakes of my favorite region, Hoenn, Go Hoenn!

I gotta agree with you on the names of the remakes.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 10th, 2010 8:20 PM

Pokemon black is Yang which means light while Pokemon white is yin which equals darkness ( I just felt like pointing that out because some of you said black was darkness, that if it's really yin and yang).

hoenn is my favorite region but not my fav game- that's why i hope the remakes do them justice :)
(ps, mods, you can't really say we're off topic- this is still speculation on the 5th gen.. Loopholes are the best :D)

Mujahid April 10th, 2010 8:56 PM

No gameplay footage >_<
[Watch this video]
And I guess no one uploaded the episode anyway ...

Ninja Caterpie April 10th, 2010 9:18 PM

If there's too much outrage about the names, then they can always be Light and Dark. ^^ Sounds better, imo, black and white are too plain.

Or we let them outrage and let them be confused after 3 turns.

Totodile! April 10th, 2010 9:21 PM

I don't get it! Why do you think the names are racist?! They are JUST names of games ... jeez >_<

Reina April 10th, 2010 9:21 PM

Dark and Light sound better imo, but do people REALLY care about the names that much? I'm just excited irregardless of whatever in the world they call it because from what I've seen at least, it looks like a change... camera angle change gives it a more 3d feel, and the battling looks a bit different, they did say they'd rework it... only thing I'm not into is the new Pokemon. Am I the only one who really isn't that impressed with Zoroark?

Caelus April 10th, 2010 10:07 PM

I actually like the name Black & White. Not only because they're colors but because it reminds me of yin and yang. Might be why they named them that.

There's not really enough info to convince me, but so far it looks great. I'm liking the graphics.

Ashergj April 10th, 2010 10:15 PM

Well all pokemon are all limited to at least stages of evolution

I'd love to see pokemon with four evolutions or maybe even 5 ( for example an evolution of Machamp)

Also the level limit to go beyond lvl 100 :D

require more game play and a greater challenge for us veteran pokemon player :P
