    This thread is more for those people who haven't played the game yet/waiting for English release to play it.

    As we all know, there are many new features on the games. Whether they be the new PokéDevice, seasons and even triple battles, there's something new out there for everyone, so the question is...

    What are you most looking forward to in Pokémon Black/White?

    For me, it's either going to be the Battle Subway, or the different version-exclusive areas. It will be good to get a different area to explore from both games.

    Random Match for sure. So you can battle when you want without those stupid fc's :)

    That's what I would expect in Black/White. That would be good.

    In generation 5, if the "re-make pattern" continues, I'm guessing that in 2-4 years Nintendo will re-make Ruby and Sapphire.
    They re-made Kanto, they re-made Johto, Hoenn is next.

    Definitely the triple battles! The Random Match would be nice if my DS had wi-fi. xD It's one of the oldest versions, so it can no longer connect.

    Triple battles, as I hope they will add another layer of tactics to the game.

    I think we really need some clarification.

    Originally, pokewalker referred to kadoofa's post, where kadoofa said "That's what I would expect in Black/White. That would be good." in reference to Random Matchup.

    However, the rest of kadoofa's post referred to remakes of Ruby/Sapphire without mentioning Random Matchup. Perhaps believing that kadoofa didn't realize that Random Matchup was already confirmed, pokewalker tried to tell kadoofa that Random Matchup was confirmed.

    So he quoted kadoofa's post - which didn't contain any direct references to Random Matchup but was full of speculation about Ruby/Sapphire remakes.

    pokewalker was trying to point out that Random Matchup was confirmed, not Ruby/Sapphire remakes.
    ya that's true ;) but about r/s remakes, there are alot of hints in the games. but i think you should discuss that in Emulation...

    I'm looking forward to:

    1. Catching all the new pokemon
    2. Meeting/Catching my teamates
    3. Battling the Gym leaders
    4. Exploring Isshu
    5. Checking out the dream world
    6. Seeing the seasons pass
    7. Checking out the new wifi features (Random Match/Trade)
    8. Learning more about the storyline.
    9. Emigrating my 4th gen pokemon to the 5th gen

    So pretty much everything! :p
    That's in no particular order too.

    Mostly the new pokemon, but also all the new features such as the new battle system (including the pokemon moving and three on three battles), the new region to explore, the new gyms and elite 4, and the version exclusive things. (Such as White Forest and Black City).

    XDDDD
    I find that amusing. I don't know why.

    I'm not really sure what I'm looking forward to other than exploring the region initially. If it's a feature, probably triple or rotational battles since rotational battles kinda confuse me yet apparently Kaori understands it! Actually yeah make exploring Unova number one.

    Mostly, I'm looking forward to using the new Pokemon in general. I'm also looking forward to taking down Team Plasma and the Battle Subway.

    I'm most looking forward to the new text. Yes, that's right - the dialogue. Sadly, I actually went and played the ROM from start to finish, so the only new thing for me would be the dialogue.
    That and the fact it's out March 4th!
