Family roles in B/W
Will there finally be a father in pokemon B/W, and what do you think his role in game will be?
For me it was weird that they always had mother but no father, except for R/S/E Since B/W features more advanced storyline, I believe that they might reintroduce him again, maybe even as a champion, or an E4 |

Your dad stays at home, and saves you money (but actually buys you useful items like stones once you've reached a certain point), while your mother is a distant wandering trainer that you battle a couple times, besides playing some roles in the plot. However, just before you beat the elite four, she is in the same position as you (about to enter the elite four) and battles you. In beating her, she returns home to train in the backyard or be around town, and you can battle her once every day. And a random number generator decides when she leaves the town occasionally and be in a random place or town, where if you find her, she'll give you a really neat useful rare idem. (c) Weatherman, Kiyoshi and Doubleglalzingcomics NOW THAT'S A REFRESHING FREAKING IDEA. But yeah, I hope they put in a dad this time. X3 |
If N doesn't turn out to be the head of Team Plasma, I'd like to see the real boss admin turn out to be the protagonist's father. Vader style...like a boss. :D
Alternatively, they can pull a Cartman's Mom switch on us...just for the lulz. XD |
I though your dad was already confirmed (no pic)
or it was speculation. I remember some news/leaks w.e. about your dad is a archelogiest(sp) (mom to i think? maybe just dad) he helps you along some points. so yea |
I really hope they actually show a stable nuclear family (other than RSE, and even then, the father stayed in Petalburg most of this time.). That fact that most of the protagnists have single mothers is kinda strange to me. :/
|
Maybe your dad saves the money (and buys stuff) and then the mom just heals you at home?
|
noooo, why would father stay home and mother battle!? Women cant battle(jk ofc) i would like if the father was a champion, and the protagonists entire motive to beat the pokemon league was to surpass his dad. Since in previous gens, he went to pokemon league mostly because he was bored, like oak told him he could do that and etc. no real motive.
|
I like the idea of dad being an Elite Four member actually, the Rival should be Champion again - Blue in Generation 1 had the most varied team and offered the most challenge :) . If not, dad could just be the Battle Tower leader or something, but that would be a bit lame :P .
|
I liked Timbjerr's idea of the Plasma boss being the father. The mother however In my opinion, I am 90% sure she will be a retired Musical champion (Just how Dawn's mum was a retired Poke Coordinator).
|
I like the idea of having a mother and a father on opposite teams.
like...at various points through the storyline mom helps you out but dad turns out to be the head of team plasma :) but they both live separate lives back home. like...at the beginning of the game mom and dad are both at home and seem normal, but then later on you need help and mom helps you by revealing cool spy stuff and such, and then near the end (after already have been battling team plasma)....like mt coronet in d/p/pl you meat the boss face to face, it turns out dad's there. then he battles you saying something like "I really hate to have fight my own son/daughter but no one may stand in the way of the mighty team plasma! Your story ends now, -insert name here-!" how awesome would that be? |

Yeah... We should have a father in B/W...
Coz' the previous games, it's like the mother is widowed or divorced :'( |

The last thing I want to see is the Protagonist's parents as Rival figures. Head of Team Plasma maybe, but even then that would have to be the Father. Your Mother as head would just be.....weird. |
^
I think that would be quite interesting. Having the mother as head of Team Plasma, I mean. I think it would be cool if your/the father would head the Pokemon daycare, or be the the one who develops the PC storage. |
nuuuuuuh i dont wanna nerdy father taht dont do battle :( he needs to be a champion, e4 or atleast a gym leader, and mother should partake in pokemon musicals

(c) Weatherman, Kiyoshi and Doubleglalzingcomics What? These ideas I'm coming up with are awesome material. :3 Quote:
....why? I think it's actually quite a refreshing idea. Not every father is the whole "bold" fighting figure. |
:,( yes it does :P haha but yeah id love too if mother was the leader of team plasma, but ofcourse the father would have to be champion than ;F
|
^
Haha, that would be something like a good vs. evil, father vs. mother thing if it would go that way (considering your father, as the champion, doesn't side w/ Team Plasma). |
An involved mother villian father champion plot would be interesting. I know the Gym Leaders and Pkmn League frame will always be there but Pkmn really needs a better story. Maybe if the hero lived with his grandparents (father's side), knowing that his father was the champ but having no knowledge of his mother, who Grandma and Grandpa are not very keen to talk about.

I think it could be quick and simple if they just turned one of Proffessor Araragi's technicians into your Father. (Like they done with the counterplayer in Sinnoh). That way, he could come and tell you some tactical stuff and help with Pokedex stuff.
While your Mother could probably just pop by ocassionally in different towns for a holiday (and ask if your wearing fresh underwear) and possibly give you a helpful item along the way. Now those and good parents! Not like the ones who just sit at tables and stare blankly at TV's reminiscing about the Super Contest's they once attended. |

A champion father, and unknown mother, and a pair of grandparents does not overflow family cap. Maybe you're not looking at this with an open mind enough. XD |

Maybe ur just exaggerating this a little bit, cause pokemon games have always had a simple storyline, of course as we got new gens they evolved into more complex ones. But Adding all those stuff wouldnt fit, like having an unknown mother, that sound more like some kind of drama. And by having a father and grandparents as a part of the household, that just doesnt follow the pattern, that we have always had, mother was always a basis on a start of every pokemon challenge. It just doesnt make sense to start living with your grandparents and your father now -.- |
they have a lot of nonfamily characters, i dont care for family characters. Its like "Mom gave you some berries" but she's not my mom. so make family a complete mystery.
