Anyone stayed pure?
 
Who hasn't read about the game and looked at spoilers, new pokemon, just to increase satisfaction on your first playthrough?

I've played Pokémon White, but I stopped after a short while and ever since then, I haven't looked at the list of new Pokémon Names, Gym Types, Alot of the Soundtracks ect. so kind of.

Ho-Oh February 18th, 2011 5:53 AM

I've looked at the new Pokemon, I've found out gameplay features, I know some of the storyline, BUT! I haven't looked at many sceenshots of the Unova region. Soooo... in a way I've avoided the important spoilers. I just want the region to look new, the other stuff doesn't matter as much for an exciting first experience. :x

Pokemon Trainer Touko February 18th, 2011 5:54 AM

I've played through Japanese Pokemon White~ I finished the game twice~ So I don't need to look up the new places and stuff~

Gary Oak FTW February 18th, 2011 7:25 AM

For the most part. All I've looked at are the Pokemon and the map.

Vindra February 18th, 2011 7:45 AM

The only things I've really looked at are the new Pokemon and the updated gameplay features. I don't know much about the storyline still, so that part (which is the most important for a fresh first playthrough for me) will be a surprise.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 18th, 2011 7:54 AM

I haven't spoiled it as much as I did with Sinnoh...I have yet to see all the routes of Unova so I look forward to exploring it :)

Perriechu February 18th, 2011 8:07 AM

I've spoiled myself through & through. I said to myself I wouldn't but I did V_V

I've played and completed Black 4 times lmao. Stalked Serebii during the release of names and such, so yeah...

skyluigi2 February 18th, 2011 8:14 AM

All I've looked at are the Pokemon. :D

s4rg10 February 18th, 2011 9:15 AM

All i checked was trailer and pokemon starters, nothing else to spoil the game

i even carefully look trough forums to not spoil anything

Boarbeque February 18th, 2011 9:21 AM

I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAMES

TheAppleFreak February 18th, 2011 9:24 AM

I've already spoiled myself. I've played through Japanese White once, but stopped at the post-game. Not to mention I barely understood anything, so I guess that's good... sorta...

Backup February 18th, 2011 10:07 AM

I've only skimmed through the new Pokemon and listened to the rival music. ^^

It's been getting tougher and tougher not to look up info but at least I'll enjoy the game more when I get it. :)

marcc5m February 18th, 2011 10:17 AM

I've played some of Black, viewed all the stuff on Serebii, watched videos on youtube...but is this something I'm gonna regret? Was it really worth it? Was it a good idea to spoil myself as opposed to waiting for the English release?
Yes.

MysticFlygon February 18th, 2011 10:21 AM

I played through the main game of white but stopped because I didn't want to spoil anymore of it for myself. It was just too irresistible for me not to play.

Kendosis February 18th, 2011 10:44 AM

I played to the first gym, so I'm mostly pure lol.

Archipelago February 18th, 2011 11:00 AM

I've checked out a couple of things about the games, although I can't remember a huge amount of what I have learnt, so I guess I could be thought of as slightly tainted in the ways of Pokemon Black and White. I'm not planning on checking out a huge amount more until the games come out though.

butterbiscuit February 18th, 2011 11:03 AM

Haha.

No. XD

I do plan to just kind of hide from the informational sites and stuff once the new 3DS Pokemon game is announced, I'll just ask someone the release date and head down to the store that day and be surprised by what I find.

Well, that's the plan, but it probably won't work.. :p

Bluerang1 February 18th, 2011 11:25 AM

Stuff I planned to avoid I found out by mistake and I'm still denying some things as true until I play the games myself. I don't know the storyline and I don't want to. I've seen the released gameplay footage but know user stuff. I know all the Pokemon through and through, so I could plan my team. I know all Gym Leaders and unfortunately Elite 4 too. I didn't want to find that one out.

Astinus February 18th, 2011 11:51 AM

If I wanted to avoid any sort of spoilers, I would have stayed off the Internet entirely.

Instead, I stayed mostly up-to-date with new information. The only part of the game I'm not too knowledgeable about is anything concerning the storyline. But no one has really talked about it in places that I go to, so that's the reason why. Everything else, though, I know some things about them.

Also played Black for a while. Didn't complete it, but I know the plot of the beginning.

Timbjerr February 18th, 2011 12:34 PM

I made it a point to avoid storyline spoilers. I already learned all of the pokemon names and most of the town and NPC names, but in Japanese...so learning their English names will be just as good as learning them fresh. XD

Dark sandslash February 18th, 2011 12:47 PM

i havent looked at anything at all lol

I've done the same thing. :D I don't know much about the storyline, but I know the names of pokemon and gym leaders/elite four members, I've seen screen shots that were released on the official website, and I know the names of a few locations (thanks to the anime).


Oh, and I've listened to the soundtrack.

And that's pretty much everything I know.


Sabrewulf238 February 18th, 2011 1:02 PM

I'm not pure....but I'm not completely spoiled either...

I know all the pokemon and I have a fairly good understanding of the first two/three towns. However my understanding of the Team Plasma storyline is vague at best. There's a lot of locations I don't know anything about and some towns/cities I've only seen one picture of.

I think I did pretty well considering how bad I am at keeping things unspoiled.

I'm ok at keeping spoilers away even by coming to this forum, I usually try to steer clear of the character discussions since they're usually filled with storyline spoilers.

King Gumball February 18th, 2011 1:33 PM

I have checked all the pokemon, the names, the gyms, badges, E4. However I have not checked out the Dream World in detail, I dont care much about soundtracks and I only know what about 10% of Unova looks like, from screen shots of gyms and bridges, and I have also avoided the story line of Team Galactic threads. I don't really want to know that until I play.
