  • I got Red he got Blue
    I got Gold he got Silver
    I got Ruby he got Sapphire
    I got Pearl he got Diamond

    You ruined the system.
    Red = 1st version
    Gold = 1st version
    Ruby = 1st version
    Pearl = 2nd Version

    Diamond = 1st Version. Lol.

    I always got the secondary versions and the special versions, except for generations I and IV(partially).

    Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold.

    I also broke the trend by choosing HeartGold instead of SoulSilver.
    Mostly because HG's game exclusives appealed more to me.
    HG got Silver's original game exclusives.

  • I had nerdgasms when I saw the names.

    Getting back to the old name calling of names really overjoyed.
    Hopefully, Gen V will be better than Gen IV, on terms of stuff to do, Poke'mon, and challenges.

    I'm syked for the new stuff that's going to be announced on Sunday,
    but I don't wanna jynx anything.

    So, I'll stay quiet until then. X3
    Nerdgasms for the NAMES? Are you serious?

    I hope these rock, but sadly, given the hype bar we give games these days, I won't get too up in the clouds.

    I like the ol' fashion names as well. :D (Grey version for the third?)
    Yes, seriously, too much hype around this place.

    I wonder if there is going to be a counterpart of Zoroark.
    Unlikely. Zoroark seems to be a regular Pokémon, just like Lucario. I'm pretty sure it won't be the version mascot.

    Remember that you don't even know how the game looks like, nor any other info. Better consider those before deciding.

    In other news, I think these games might refresh the concept of Pokémon, I hope they do big changes in a gameplay that is almost as old as the videogame industry itself. I'm sick of running though the same recycled game over and over. Metagame is still awesome, but the should renew the game as a whole though.

    Also, what's up with so much hype? Everyone's like "OMG I'm sooooo buying Black/White version cuz it's awsum!"

    I'd like to see a few types changed, such as Glaelie to Ice/Dark and Celebi to Bug/Psychic (yes, a Bug-type legendary). I had a list a few thousand posts ago...

    Also, with the type changes, I'd also would like for more diversity in the the already-existing legendaries. I liked how the last two generations made them masters of something in the universe, and I'd like for some new combinations to be made. For example, Mew and Mewtwo can represent natural vs. artificial. Mew can have form changes that will change her learned attacks upon environment (such as aqua form in water). Mewtwo, being manmade, can have his defense, special defense, and special attack raised in sacrifice of speed and attack while wearing the armor as seen in the anime.

    I've thought it over, and we don't have to demote Heatran down from legendary status. He/she could be the master of the core, which would mean that we should have two more legendaries representing the crust and mantle.

    Variations instead of shinies, please. Shinies have became overrated, but variations will encourage even more collecting.

    I expect a lot of changes in this game- everything from type changes, better gender ratios, more abilities (I'd like to see all Pokemon have to positive abilities and one negative ability), new types, different methods of obtainment (no more breeding with incenses, but to evolve Slowpoke you will need a Shellder [perhaps maybe just a form change for Slowpoke?] and to evolve Magnemite you will need two more Magnemite), some species merged (mainly referring to Nidoran being one species), and new evolutionary stages (such as finally a Kangas, a male evolution of Kangaskhan, a pre-evolution of Tauros and Miltank, a Doduno, a Dugduo, and so on and so forth...)

    Grammatical error fixed

    But yeah I really hope they do change the gameplay up, because it is getting repetitive playing the same kind of gameplay for about the last three games. I'm assuming they wont do that though because its much cheaper and faster to use the same kind of gameplay mechanics as they did for the last 3 games. The only thing I'm really hoping for are some better 5'th gen pokemon designs, because the ones I have seen are very (I'm sorry for you zoroark and zorua fans but... ) poor design and not very original. The actual in-game sprites I will guarantee you they will look amazing seeing the improvements that game freak made in the sprites just in hg/ss. But really the only 2 things I'm hoping for in this game are:

    - Improved gameplay mechanics
    - Original Pokemon designs

  • The amount of racism regarding these names around the internet is astounding. I'm expecting a title change for us.

    Look what I found.

  • I love the simplicity of the title. But I wish the world wasn't so screwed up. Why do people HAVE to consider racism as a factor just by titles. I'm getting White btw, and my friend is getting Black. He is Black, I am Native American. Did I get offended by Pokemon Red? No. I am getting White, not only to be opposite him, but because it is one of my favorite colors. (My favorite is green) It reminds me of snow, one of my favorite things. I can't wait. I get a futuristic vibe from these games, yet the titles are a throwback to earlier days. Very smart choice imo. HG, SS, D, P, PT were off the wall to me. Good to get back to simple roots again.

    Oh, sorry there, coming here from the board index I thought this was the first thread and you didn't believe it. I see now there's that gen.V sticky; didn't think it was going to be used as the B&W thread, they ought to edit the original post in there to make it apparent.

    PRetty much the same here, Didn't realize.
