Pokemon Musical
 
apparently, Black and White is using a minigame called Pokemon Musical as an alternative to contests and Pokeathalon. How do you think this will play out? Will the microphone be utilized? What would you like to see happen with this feature.

Just a note, New York has Broadway. Pokemon Musical? This, to me, looks like a good one up for the NYC - Isshu theory. Just sayin'.

hmm sounds intresting. i hope its better than the sinnoh and hoenn contests.

Timbjerr July 30th, 2010 9:48 AM

They finally struck something cool with the pokethlon and now they're gonna go and get rid of it for a Pokemon musical? D:

Phantom Poodle July 30th, 2010 9:51 AM

I totally agree with the NYC thing; it coincides with the theories about Isshu being based on America. :D

I am actually really excited for this. I sucked at Pokethlon and Contests, except for the dancing/rhythm part. :D Hopefully, this means I will be good at something for once.

Musical, YUCK, I wanted Pokeathlon back, it was so fun!

Bloothump July 30th, 2010 9:57 AM

Well, at least the dress-up system looks improved. It's no longer like "Here, look, a pebble! Here, take this leaf, or this feather, and use it to dress up your pokemon!" -____-
I like the looks of these clothes!

countryemo July 30th, 2010 10:21 AM

I like the Hoenn contest best. Pokeathlon is dumb :P
But Pokemon musical? the dress up seems better. But I guess i need to see how it plays out when i play it to judge

Pokemon Musical footage starts at 2:05

Can we actually use the "clothes" in-game or is it just for Pokemon Musical?

Well, we haven't seen any pokemon battling in clothes so far. So while it doesn't say, I don't think they're used in-game.

countryemo July 30th, 2010 11:52 AM

oh yes i saw the video, but i was talking about me and the game personally. in other words when i get to play it myself.
it looks a bit weird of what i saw in the video, i dont see a main point to it

Masterge77 July 30th, 2010 2:46 PM

It's probably the return of Pokemon Contests, We only call it a musical because they dress up fancy, If it were a musical, well, it certainly isn't a High School Musical, especially when the songs only have one word: the Pokemons name

LOl, yeah the musical could just be the name of the first part of the contest :P

ThisOrTheApocalypse July 30th, 2010 2:55 PM

Ehhh, i'm not a fan of musicals, but I won't judge before I try it out, it could be fun for all I know.

dragon0fangz July 30th, 2010 3:26 PM

HATE MUSICALS. also, where did the pokethlon go? It seems like they are going opposite of what fans want. remember the follow me feature? That was popular. remember the pokethlon? that was popular.

I always felt as though the Pokéathlon was an HG/SS feature alone. The Following Feature still has a chance of coming in for the third installment of Black and White.

I couldn't think straight when I read about Pokémon Musical this morning. I am a personal lover of Pokémon Contests. RSE had the best take of it, and then DPPt gave it a twist which was cool enough for me. However, the idea of dressing my Pokémon up and making them sing and dance seems lame, to put it sweetly. I won't judge it till I've tried it, but I just wish they would have kept Pokémon Contests in over this, or at least the Pokéathlon.

Scary part is seeing this as a major part of the anime, but that's a different story. :(

Jaiyke July 30th, 2010 4:12 PM

hmm never was a big fan of the Pokeathlon
and never got why it's so popular o.O

actually it's fun and all so whatev...
i liked the Original Contests and were quite good at them
the Super Contests were okay i guess
Pokeathlon seemed too easy and pointless for me xDD

although unlike most people here i actually LIKE Musicals
real ones like Broadway ones.. not hack ones like HSM >.>
and since they're animals it reminds me of Classic Disney XDDD which i like =P
but yeah i hope there is more to it and not JUST the Musical
that would be boring and make me try it once and forget about it =\

Astinus July 30th, 2010 8:15 PM

I like the idea. Especially the dress-up part of the whole musical. It's a lot better than the pebbles, fluff pieces, and stumps that were used for previous contests in D/P/Pt. This way of dressing-up actually makes the Pokemon look good instead of a mess of junk.

I'm more interested in seeing what else there is to the musical than just dancing. Will the player come up with dance moves/musical notes, or have to follow what the game gives them? And will there be actual Pokemon operas?

This topic makes me think of the short-lived Pokemon Live! musical.

Agent Clank July 30th, 2010 8:20 PM

I really don't know what to think of it.....
I don't really like Musicals and I didn't really like the contests in D/P/P.
The Hoenn Contests were the best,so Yeah,I might try it out but I'm not promising I'll like it.

loliwin July 30th, 2010 8:29 PM

I LOVE MUSICALS. Just hope it plays good! :D well thats all.

Bay July 30th, 2010 9:59 PM

Already said before how I didn't like the dance thing from D/P/Pt and now now liking the musical now because of two Fox shows I'm not a fan of. XD However, I guess I'll try it and see if I like it. It could be quite fun if I give it a chance.

Oh gawds, that musical. Haven't seen it, though I heard the plot of it and was able to listen to most of the songs online a while back. But yeah, if the end result of the musical is like this song:



I wouldn't mind. :P *hears fangirls scream*

Anyways...I might have to look at the trailer video again, but it looks like you'll be doing the notes, which kind makes more since then doing the dance moves. That way, you learn how to do a decent song by choosing the notes.

Kanto_Johto July 31st, 2010 4:51 AM

As a musician, I'm particularly insterested in this feature. Why can't they include this and the Pokeathlon though? I don't see why they should take it out just because this feature is being added.

I wasnt excited for it until I saw Chillarmy with an Afro.

Kevin July 31st, 2010 7:30 AM

When I saw it I thought it was just contests, because of dress-ups. LOL.
@MistahDude IKR.

myrrh25 July 31st, 2010 9:30 AM

Well. It seems that GameFreak just jizzed fangirl-ism and High School Musical 4 into their latest Pokemon games. Bring back RSE contests and get rid of this bullcrap please GameFreak.
