But yeah, the starters have been confirmed as Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott. Why people find this surprising is still...confusing to me, really. xD
I still pray that Pikachu isn't in this game. Like, no. ;;
Skitty would be cute to have in this game, too. <3

What's wrong with Pikachu being in the new Unova Dex? It's the mascot of Pokemon, and I think it might be mandatory for GameFreak to put its family in there, since Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu have been in all regional Dexes.

I also hope we don't have the same starters. I think ( dont shoot me! ) that the fire/water/grass starter tradition is getting old. We could see something like fight/dark/psychic or electric/flying/ground....you know what? That sounds lame. Keep the starters.

If I remember right they showed another Psuedo Legendary in the poster with Lucario on one of the Dragons and Zoroark with Metagross and the other? I remember both had what appeared to be an Exclusive Triple Evolution and Dual Evolution line.

As for Psychic/Dark/Fighting, they'll never do it unless they do it as subtyped because that trio isn't balanced. Fire/Water/Grass is one of the basic balanced Elemental Trio's not to mention that if they diverge from this, Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, and Hydro Cannon wouldn't be learnable to the new starter set, neither would the three Pledge moves.

Oh, it's just a personally hatred I have for the little guy, really. xD
I mean yeah I agree it should be in there as a representation of its mascot status, but I just don't like it. DX

Plus, I honestly think they should have Clefairy and its family early on, too. It WAS going to be the mascot of Pokemon when they first created Pokemon, and I think it would fit well in Celestial Tower pretty well, considering it is the place where all Elgyem, and alien Pokemon, lives.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but Buneary and Emolga have been confirmed to appear/ reappear.
Most of the Pokemon I've noticed have been ones that show up in the anime often...could they be giving us the fan favorites?

Emolga is Fifth Generation Pokemon. We are working under the assumption that all 153 Fifth Generation Pokemon are in the game, giving us 147 Previous generation Pokemon to look for.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 2nd, 2012 3:36 PM

I know, but it's nice to have some confirmation on that theory.
So of the 147 how many have been announced, I haven't kept count lol.

PlatinumDude June 2nd, 2012 3:37 PM

I saw the second B2/W2 trailer and I saw Dragonite towards the end. I was totally surprised. I wonder if it'll make the final cut.

If anyone doesn't believe me, check out Serebii's latest B2/W2 update.

blue June 2nd, 2012 3:39 PM

From the trailer and by the looks of things it seems Minccino will also be in the Pokédex.

Yeah, I hope so too ^_^. Also Lapras but I think that one was said to be in game some time ago. Either way seeing Dragonite reinforces my view that all the Pseudo's will appear in these games...only Salamence and Garchomp need to be seen...

I wonder, though, if it were just a post-game shot. Maybe even a part of some new Battle System? Either way, I actually kind of want Dragonite. As much as I usually don't like it, I kinda want it back. It'd be a neat addition to a team in Unova, for sure. I'd expect to see Dratini and Dragonair around Dragonspiral, for sure, and possibly even in the waters at Victory Road.

Oryx June 2nd, 2012 4:24 PM

The giant Pikachu and Pichu statues make it seem like they will in fact have the mascot in there...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 2nd, 2012 4:40 PM

There's a giant Pichu statue now? Oh poor Raichu :(
I do think the mascot will show up. Who knows maybe we'll get a Pichu egg as a gift.

Of course it could very well be a repeat of Castelia City, where the man had a Pikachu, yet they weren't even a wild Pokemon in Unova. But yeah, I do agree, like I said, that they will be included into the Pokedex. Much to my dismay. ;;
I still don't want them. ;;

Shiny Celebi June 2nd, 2012 4:55 PM

I dont want to see Pikachu either >.< oh well, I dont have to catch one. Interesting to see so many psudo legends in this game.

I know right?! All they need is Garchomp and Salamence and then they've got them all. I'd personally like Salamence. <3

The Fallen June 2nd, 2012 5:11 PM

There will likely be some Pikachu; given the fact that it's the face of Pokémon.

Garchomp would be amazing. Not my favorite of the pseudo dragons, but different a great Pokémon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 2nd, 2012 5:15 PM

^ xD that's what I said earlier. Yeah Salamence would be cool to see :3. oh and Garchomp...they were the only two pseudo's not available post game BW...
One could make a whole team of Pseudo's to take on Plasma and the E4...

Hikamaru June 2nd, 2012 5:17 PM

I read a Bulbanews article regarding the recent Pokemon Smash episode.

Buneary and Lapras have been confirmed in the new Unova Pokedex, so I guess that means Lopunny will appear as well.

Ya, there's no reason why they wouldn't put in its evo. Buneary doesn't really fit into Unova though, idk only post-game really looks like a place where you'd find wild bunnies. XD;

I guess the reason they included Buneary and Lopunny was probably due to the heavy marketing it got in the 4th Gen.

Buneary also belonged to a main character in the anime (Dawn).

What they are trying to do with the new Pokedex is include Pokemon popular with fans, such as Lucario and Eevee.

Going by this meaning I could possibly see the Pikachu line getting included given that Pikachu appears in most regional Pokedexes not to mention it being the franchise's mascot.

With this Pokedex, they are sort of learning from what the fans want. They are still trying to target the usual kids audience but also trying to appeal to the older fans too. With 300 Pokemon included in this Dex, it's something most fans really wanted - a massive diversity in available Pokemon.

Do you think I have a point?

Of course you have a point. xD
And really I'd have to agree to a point. But Buneary wasn't the selling point of the fourth gen, it was Arceus. Every ten year old wants one. SO HOPEFULLY, IT WON'T SHOW UP IN THIS GAME, EITHER.

But it even seems like they're somewhat bringing in favorites of their own, which is something I would do if I were them. xD
As long as they bring in Budew or Roselia as a wild Pokemon, I'll be perfectly fine with it. c:

Hmmm yeah also the fact that a wifi event existed for it recently too plus also the fact that it never was found native to a region anyway, so I think we'll be pretty Arceus-free. :x

Vato June 4th, 2012 1:18 PM

Is It Just Me?
 
Take a look at some of the foreign Pokemon to be in Unova in B2W2.
There are several Pokemon that haven't been paid much attention since their introduction (Like Mareep, Sunkern and Wingull)

Does this mean that Pokemon that aren't very popular or haven't appeared in a regional dex in a while will re-appear?
Like... Caterpie? :O

blue June 4th, 2012 1:55 PM

Not necessarily, some are more popular than others for many different reasons, mainly by appearance or stats but I doubt that's the case. It's probably more of a coincidence but they just wanted to mix it up by adding multi regional Pokémon and they happened to fall into that category.

miltankRancher June 4th, 2012 5:06 PM

Not exactly. remember, we also have some well-sought Pokemon like Eevee and Riolu, deemed rare throughout the fandom. We also have Beldum and Larvitar who we all know to evolve to some pseudo-legendaries. I think they just like to put in some diversity in Unova.
