Okay so I was thinking about this earlier, and It became apparent that it is completely possible that with this new weather system that we may get a new Castform weather change.

Is it possible that we could get new castform changes? sandstorm castform? Thunderstorm castform?

What do you guys think? :o

You'll need to upload those files on like photobucket or some other photo sharing site.

I also doubt there will be a new Castform seeing how it already changes to what looks like rain,sun and some type of storm (most likely snow) which is really the major storms people usually get.

They'll have to give Castform a generic Rock attack AND Sandstorm if it were to have a Sandstorm form.

Shikijika seems to be the new Castform for Black and White so I doubt it'll get any love this late since it's release.

We'll have to see what happens I guess! :3

A sandstorm isn't weather...
Its considered a weather altering attack.

"A dust storm or sandstorm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front blows loose sand and dust from a dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another. ..."

Googled Sandstorm.

It is a weather phenomenon. Found mostly in arid locations like a desert. Since its too localized, I guess you can rule it out as conventional weather, but it is still a weather based phenomenon.

EDIT: In other news: Castform wouldn't even be available until after the national dex so this really seems highly unlikely unless they have extra stuff for the main story or even a side story after you attain the National Dex in game. At that point, the game's actual play though is officially over and you just get the out of region Pokemon spawned all over the place. Castform getting a new form would prolly be something that would have to be introduced before but who knows.

Rock throw at Lv.10 and Sandstorm at Lv.20. Boom. Now, what would it look like? A yellow/brown bubble for it's head, or just something swirly?

Luvdisc got an evolution though, didn't it? And you won't get Luvdisc until after the main storyline :P

This is not 100% true. Nobody has confirmed that it's a Luvdisc evo yet. That's just the assumption everyone has gone with. Makes sense, yes, but nobody can be certain sure yet.

I couldn't understand why they didn't make a separate Castform form for Sandstorm. I'd certainly like to see that in Black and White.
I agree with this; there should be a Sand Form. Although, it's understandable why there isn't; all the other Form's are based off weather conditions while a Sandstorm is a natural disaster (or something like that...)

I agree, but I am also pretty confident that sandstorm will be part of the weather change thing we have now.

Lol,. I also think he should have a sandstorm form.
Sunny Day - form
Rain Dance - form
Hail - form
All those weathers effects are causable by pokemon attack.
So IMO sandstorm should also have it's form.
And a Fog form would also be nice.

Yes thank you. Mamebou (however you spell it) isn't confirmed as an evolution. It could be a single stage or the evolved form of another fish not yet released. Since they have yet to release an evolutionary form to an existing line pre Gen 5, we don't even know if there are any evolutions in this one. If they do the whole reset idea, there may not be any new evolutions or preevolutions from the previous generations at all. (prays and hopes)

There is no move to make Fog so that one is highly unlikely until they add a move for it.

Didn't they say they're having a completely new Isshu Pokedex, which means no old Pokemon? =P Doesn't that mean Castform won't be in the dex, since a new form would still mean Castform's original form, and Castform won't fit in the new Isshu dex?
xD;
But I would love a Sandstorm form. And the Fog form for Castform I think is its original form, since in the fog in D/P/Pt, Weather Ball is normal.

Please see my larger post earlier. Castform won't be available in Black and White until After you get the National Dex.

I know, but it would be nice to have as new from.
And a Fog move would be sweet, it would lower the enemy's accuracy every turn automatically.

I'm OK with that.

I don't think it'd be that strange for a new castform form. Think about DP. Magmortar. It's a new pokemon in gen4 but wasn't available in the main game (pre nat-dex), in fact there was a massive LACK of fire types...

But back on the point, there's no telling what they'll do. They're implementing new things every generation so it's not out of the question.

There's a difference between hail/rain vs sun vs sandstorm
all are weather but hail/rain are both precipitation, sunny weather in thr result of the earth's exposure to the sun, and sandstorms are caused by wind blowing around dust... (and google sandstorm and it's funny cos the first web page result it bulbapedia. =P)
anyway my point is that hail/raindance are both different from sunny day so it's not that strange for another different weather effect to get a castform form.

a fog move or form would be interesting. but fog hasn't really been implemented too much in the games. there wasnt many areas in sinnoh to use defog and there haven't been implementations in hgss of it either... i doubt it'll be used but ya never know. =D

sorry if what i said was kinda confusing. XD

Just want to point out that Sunny day's original name was Clear Skies. Basically not actual weather just clear sky with no cloud cover.
