The best thing about the tow game is the music and N

Ranting on B/W
They don't even look like pokémon anymore. Only a few of them do. Pokémon were based on animals. So there would come a point at which they wouldn't be able to 'create' new pokemons anymore. They have reached that point now. Okay, not all of the original pokemon were animals but that was to have some of them stand out(, IMO). They're more like DIGIMON now. I can't believe there are still people who like the current Pokémon games. Pokémon has had it's best time at coming up with new stuff. They should start creating other types of games now, Like something with real-time estimated battles that look more realistic instead of the turn-based battles.I have really started to hate the pokemon series with the new Black and White releases. I've played every single one of them from Yellow to HeartGold even most of the mystery dungeon and pokemon ranger spinoffs, except for the games like pokemon dash and pokemon link or even pokemon pinball. Pokemon just isn't pokemon anymore.
Please give me your opinion, maybe you can show me the light of the new games, that was hidden away in this terrible dark cave of non-pokemon. |
Well the storyline looks great. And as people asked for something different we got it. Theres going to be a lot more features, more than even gen 4 added. Also you don't have to tolerate these Pokemon for too long, once you beat the E4 you can catch 'em all.

fs here we go again...define what looks like a Pokemon. If a dolphin looked like a shark, does that mean it's a shark and not a dolphin? NO IT DOES NOT. I am so sick and tired of over-obsessed fanboys getting mad because Pokemon changed a tiny little bit. It grew up. Maybe you should do the same? If they are Pokemon, they are in a Pokemon game, made by people who make Pokemon, they are Pokemon, if you think you can do better, go make 156 Pokemon and PM them to gamefreak. I'm sure they'd love to see your ideas. You don't like them? Don't play them, it's that simple, stop whining about a kid's game and get over it.
And there goes my own rant. |
Share your rants in the Pros and Cons Discussion instead. =P

Cons: Fire/Fighting starter AGAIN, uncreative names AGAIN, triple battles and rotations battles, game differences are really lame AS ALWAYS, no more "low health beep" (you never know you miss something until it's gone), too many legendarys AGAIN and probably a lot more
Pros: Low number of HMs *sigh* Gamefreak went so wrong after GSC |
I love the animated sprites!
I am not too happy that we can't have pokemon follow us like in HeartGold/SoulSilver. |

2 these are the jap names so far...idk how creative they'll be in english. 3 triple and rotation battles are awesome imo...i just hope they dont take it any further 4 the low health beep got changed for a new track that sounds great and still has the same effect as the beep since u only hear it when your health is low. 5 i agree... sorry just throwing in my 2 cents |
Regarding the constant "they don't look like Pokemon" rants that I'm so annoyed at hearing, what defines a Pokemon? What "looks" like a Pokemon? |

I like it that they made Tm's reusable this gen, now I don't have to struggle with buying a new one each time I use one. |
I started playing Pokemon White a few days ago, (*cough*ROM*cough*) and I have to say, the game is amazing~ <33 Wonder graphics, the 3D is great~ Awesome Pokemon, always something interesting around the corner to be caught! This is the only time I have no room for HM slaves! XD And thank god there is an easy way to train low level Pokemon! This is Pokemon at it's best in my opinion!
However, now I have to get to the cons... But there is only 1. The. Game. Is. EASY. Too easy. By this I mean the Gyms... THERE IS SOMETHING DIRECTLY TO COUNTER IT NEARBY. CAUTION, THIS IS A HUGE SPOILER. (Doesn't know how to hide) Spoiler:
Don't you remember in the old days where you had to try a bit? Like how Falkner closed off a route to prevent you from getting a Pokemon that countered his team... Or how Sabrina's Gym had no exploitable weakness and all of her Pokemon were very high levels. I mean there were a few helps to Gyms back then... Like Lt. Surges. Digglett cave right next to his city. Dugtrio, anyone? Or Roxanne in Rustboro city. Your starter kicked her Pokemons' asses, no matter which one ya chose. A little bit of a break is good, but having this much? It's just too much, Gamefreak. :c I wish there was a challenge setting on Pokemon. No tutorial, not helpfully placed Wild Pokemon all the time, like the good ol' days. Oh, and one more thing... Antidotes used to have a use. Poison used to be so deadly... They made me afraid of Weedle. 4th gen introduced that if they reached 1 hp, the Poison cleared. Kinda helpful if I had no Antidotes, I'd just run around until it was gone. And now, it doesn't even damage you outside of battle!! I got poisoned during the bug gym and was like, "OH SHI- I BETTER GET TO THE POKECENTER", but then shortly found out it did NOTHING. Now poison types are just a minor nuisance. |
The most common complaint about these games is that the Pokemon don't look like Pokemon, whatever that is supposed to mean. To say that is meaningless before someone defines what constitutes a Pokemon.
Besides, in reality, we do not a Pokemon is. A Pokemon is a creature in the video game series, Pokemon. Do the more recent Pokemon (whose identities are in question) fit this definition? Yes, they do. Despite this, I do understand what the people are talking about. It's been that way since Ruby and Sapphire - the Pokemon are becoming more intricate, less simplistic. People enjoyed the old style - so, they feel that, since it was changed, that it must be for the worse. This mindset is somewhat understandable - the original 251 were what most of today's Pokemon fans got hooked on, some even the original 151. But, yes, that's all it comes down to - people being reactionary. This aversion to change is not the same as disliking some of the Pokemon, or even most of them, it is just about not giving them a chance because they are different that what you liked a decade ago. You could also be one of the handful of people who actually sat down, and took the time to think about it, and decided all the new Pokemon are garbage - that you hate the direction the series is going in. If you are, I can do nothing to dissuade this. For both the reactionary folks and those that genuinely dislike the new direction, I have a question. Why are you still here? If you dislike it, there's no reason to be here, on Pokemon websites anymore. Drag out your Game Boy Color out of the closet and play Gold version, or Red version, or whatever it was that you played for the first time. You could, I suppose, even make your own set of forums dedicated to just the first two generations of Pokemon. There is absolutely no reason for you to go on the sections for new games and rant about how awful they are. Pokemon has changed. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do apologize if that was a tad harsh. |
One of the con's for me is also all the "They don't even look like Pokemon anymore!" stuff going around, Pokemon look a tad different each gen to begin with...
Now for one of the con in game is that they didn't give Magmar Drought but they did to Ninetails... |

A Pro is the scene with N and Team Plasma instead of the traditional battle champion after you beat the E4 :)
|
Quote:
|
Pro: Being able to have your own house where you can put furniture where you want it as well as being able to visit your friends houses in the dream world!
|
Pro: Moving Pokemon, Kana/Kanji Feature, DW adds more abilities for competitive players, Plasma being the most "plot" based team so far, reusable TMs, N is a Nuzlocker (well kinda), The only Gen that I like all three starters since Kanto, Female Non-Military Electric Gym Leader, You can choose which order to fight the E4, The Music (exept for Adeku's), Lucky Egg is easy to get, Tabbune = Easy Grinding, The only HM needed is Cut
Con: Every Gym is easily Counter-Picked, No refightable Gym Leaders, Adeku's theme, Geechisu's speeches take forever when your in a rush, The method to evolve Chobomaki and Kaburumo, The Only TM needed is CUT |
Quote:
But, I'm like, totally, not advocating ROM usage. |
Pro: White forest, it looks so cool, it's looks like a real big tree forest :) Oh and the new Grass/Steel type Pokemon I've been wanting one of those for some time!
|
Pros: They fixed d&n, the graphics are pretty cool, you dont need hm's, the dream world is very cool and wifi.
Cons: I hate the story -_- a complete dissapointment. The pokemon are also pretty bad (offtopic). The pokegear and the graphics, they were too lazy to make 3d models of the pokemon they look sooo wrong in battle. They could have done a lot better but they rushed the game and that was a downfall im really dissapointed. |
@locoroco actually you need one HM to complete the game, Cut. Without it you can't proceed the game after the 1st Gym
