What sparked your initial interest in Black and White?
When Black and White were first announced, there were many mixed reactions. Many people were excited for a fifth generation, yet some (even myself) didn't really care and would rather if there wasn't a fifth generation.
Think back to that time, what made you interested in the upcoming games? Was it the Pokemon you first saw? Was it the fact that everybody else was excited? Or maybe it was the 3D features, or something along those lines? Or! Were you one of those people who became interested in the games a little while after they were announced? If so, what was it due to, the Pokemon being released, the speculation, the hype, etc. Note: If you aren't excited/interested in the games at all, post your reasons why in the pros and cons discussion thread, because this thread is only for those who are excited, or interested in Black and White. As for me, I didn't really care about the games when they were first announced. I think the main thing that got me interested in was probably speculating here in this forum. With endless possibilities of what we thought could happen, I became interested in each new feature and Pokemon announced and eventually excited for the games as a whole. |
I first became excited when I first saw the pokemon. I was a little excited when it was announced and when Zorua was revealed, but then it all died down and I forgot about it for a while. Then as more details started to be released I got more involved with what was happening and joined in speculation at Serebii. Then I joined PC looking for a better thread/forum to discuss in and it was all the speculating here that really got me excited. Mainly the pokemon and characters sparked my attention, and started to love discussing the character and pokemon art more than speculating. And I am still really excited and there are so many things I know I haven't noticed yet, so I am forever searching every tiny detail on Black and White. |
Well, I initially thought that the B&W games were going to suck eggs. :x |
Think back to that time, what made you interested in the upcoming games?
What first got me interested in Black and White was Touko. The fact that she's supposed to be older than the previous protagonists makes is somewhat worthwhile. |
i got excited with all the good graphics.
i mean they went a little overboard in some parts |
I was excited simply to see the 5th Generation Pokemon in its entirety but the graphics wowed me right away. I'd say a combination of the Pokemon designs and the games general graphics.
|
I was so excited! Why? Obvious. I love the series.
|
I got interested when the games were announced. Especially when they started to give out information. The thing that made me excited? Maybe the starters and the improved battle graphics. Triple battles and more Pokémon did the same thing too.
|
Think back to that time, what made you interested in the upcoming games?
Nothing really specific. Any new Pokemon game makes me excited. :D Except Pokemon Ranger. >O |
What got me into B/W is the new Pokemon. I wanted to see how good they are in battle, and how they mesh with the older ones. I was also excited for new, interesting designs that GF would come up.
|
I liked Zorua and Zoroark when they were revealed, but it was the promise of reviving the series in a fresh way that piqued my interest. After I saw how clean the interface was, the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED inclusion of seasons, and the starters, I fell in love.
|
Obviously, I was interested in Black and White because they were Pokemon games. I was also excited because I wasn't around for the beginning of the third and fourth generations, and it would be the first time I'd get to experience a new generation (and therefore Pokemon, region, and characters) since its announcement.
|
I got excited first because it was the new generation and it was 3d. then i got more excited when I found out how different they were gonna be.
but I didn't get REALLY excited till I found out they are way better than d/p/pl. after those I was thinking the pokemon games were starting to fail on me and go downhill but that doesn't seem to be the case :) |
Think back to that time, what made you interested in the upcoming games?
Well, new region, new generation... New everything, actually. Better graphics, new gym leaders and Pokemon, the storyline is different... Something new to play wanted me interested in Black and White. |
I became excited about these two games because of the new region. Being far away from the other four, it sparked my interest. Also, with Zurua and Zoroark being released first, I became interested in seeing the other new pokemon designs.
|
Two things really. The Grass starter (could possibly be my favourite starter in terms of look and style) and the inspired move to get these games as far away from the previous ones as possible, so it can be a bit more unique in a way (I love Kanto, but it's gotten over-relied on in the past).
|
I just ALWAYS get excited when there's a new pokemon game!

I think what most caught my attention was the season thing. When I read about it I started telling everyone about it like a 5 year old.
|
What really got me interested was the improved graphics in the game. Also, I already know what starter I'm going to choose when I first start the game (Snivy). And the 3-pokemon battles? I find that impressive.
|
It's obvious why I was interested in Black/White! Ever since Red, I've been looking forward to each and every new Pokemon game!
I was really excited for a new generation of Pokemon, a new region, new villianious team, new older play characters, new 3-D graphics and animated battles!! The first Pokemon I saw of generation 5 was Zoroak. When I first saw him I wasn't sure he was legit. I thought he might be a fake Pokemon from one of those hack games. I was so excited I imported both games from Japan! They're amazing!!! |
Mamanbou
Luvdisc evolves? But no. Mamanbou is not related to Luvdisc. |
tbh, what sparked my interest was that Oshawott sea otter thing, its so adorable :) although i hate its third evo. :(
|
I was on Serebii and noticed a bulletin about a new pokemon named Zororua (or whatever it was called). After that i did some research and Voila!! I'm not too excited but when march comes...
|
It was really just the fact that we knew a new Pokémon game was coming out, and that I was ready for a new adventure with new Pokémon. I saw Zorua and Zoroark on serebii.net and thought "I need those Pokémon, they are epic."
The new graphics and battle animations seemed promising, as well as many of the features. I was rather disappointed that the Pokémon following you was removed though. At first when I saw the new starters I was immediately turned off, fearing a generation of Pokémon that I would like even less than those from D/P. As more were released though, I found some to be pretty interesting, so that also helped. The new features all seemed pretty cool, and I liked that there was now a difference between Black and White aside from the Pokémon found in them. In addition to all of that, Team Plasma, N, and the whole cast of new characters-and the fact they're now 18-really interested me. |
