apparently, Black and White is using a minigame called Pokemon Musical as an alternative to contests and Pokeathalon. How do you think this will play out? Will the microphone be utilized? What would you like to see happen with this feature.

Just a note, New York has Broadway. Pokemon Musical? This, to me, looks like a good one up for the NYC - Isshu theory. Just sayin'.

I totally agree with the NYC thing; it coincides with the theories about Isshu being based on America. :D

I am actually really excited for this. I sucked at Pokethlon and Contests, except for the dancing/rhythm part. :D Hopefully, this means I will be good at something for once.
Do you know about SLOWPOKETAIL? I heard it's tasty!
Aren't you glad I told you that?

Can we actually use the "clothes" in-game or is it just for Pokemon Musical?
Well, we haven't seen any pokemon battling in clothes so far. So while it doesn't say, I don't think they're used in-game.

It's probably the return of Pokemon Contests, We only call it a musical because they dress up fancy, If it were a musical, well, it certainly isn't a High School Musical, especially when the songs only have one word: the Pokemons name

LOl, yeah the musical could just be the name of the first part of the contest :P

I always felt as though the Pokéathlon was an HG/SS feature alone. The Following Feature still has a chance of coming in for the third installment of Black and White.

I couldn't think straight when I read about Pokémon Musical this morning. I am a personal lover of Pokémon Contests. RSE had the best take of it, and then DPPt gave it a twist which was cool enough for me. However, the idea of dressing my Pokémon up and making them sing and dance seems lame, to put it sweetly. I won't judge it till I've tried it, but I just wish they would have kept Pokémon Contests in over this, or at least the Pokéathlon.

Scary part is seeing this as a major part of the anime, but that's a different story. :(

hmm never was a big fan of the Pokeathlon
and never got why it's so popular o.O

actually it's fun and all so whatev...
i liked the Original Contests and were quite good at them
the Super Contests were okay i guess
Pokeathlon seemed too easy and pointless for me xDD

although unlike most people here i actually LIKE Musicals
real ones like Broadway ones.. not hack ones like HSM >.>
and since they're animals it reminds me of Classic Disney XDDD which i like =P
but yeah i hope there is more to it and not JUST the Musical
that would be boring and make me try it once and forget about it =\

I like the idea. Especially the dress-up part of the whole musical. It's a lot better than the pebbles, fluff pieces, and stumps that were used for previous contests in D/P/Pt. This way of dressing-up actually makes the Pokemon look good instead of a mess of junk.

I'm more interested in seeing what else there is to the musical than just dancing. Will the player come up with dance moves/musical notes, or have to follow what the game gives them? And will there be actual Pokemon operas?

This topic makes me think of the short-lived Pokemon Live! musical.

Already said before how I didn't like the dance thing from D/P/Pt and now now liking the musical now because of two Fox shows I'm not a fan of. XD However, I guess I'll try it and see if I like it. It could be quite fun if I give it a chance.

Oh gawds, that musical. Haven't seen it, though I heard the plot of it and was able to listen to most of the songs online a while back. But yeah, if the end result of the musical is like this song:



I wouldn't mind. :P *hears fangirls scream*

Anyways...I might have to look at the trailer video again, but it looks like you'll be doing the notes, which kind makes more since then doing the dance moves. That way, you learn how to do a decent song by choosing the notes.

As a musician, I'm particularly insterested in this feature. Why can't they include this and the Pokeathlon though? I don't see why they should take it out just because this feature is being added.

Well. It seems that GameFreak just jizzed fangirl-ism and High School Musical 4 into their latest Pokemon games. Bring back RSE contests and get rid of this bullcrap please GameFreak.
