  • You know, I actually wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a second region given Game Freak's comments on Iwata Asks.


    ----------
    Ishihara: Also I suppose that in terms of story a part of us wanted to give answers to the mysteries that Black and White left behind, such as “I wonder what happened to him after that?”.
    ----------
    I certainly hope that more than a "part" of them wanted to answer these using the sequels, otherwise it seems like they simply left us hanging on a lot of points for no good reason.
    The person was apparently wrong and its 256mb. Who knows, there are so many rumors going around right now on 2ch and the rest of the internet about the ROM's and there are tons of fakes popping up so I'm just going to wait and see before judging the rest.

    At least that scan proves you were right about the city in the animated trailer not being Virbank.
    Apparently the ROM is going to leak soon according to 2ch users, and that the ROM is 512MB. Extremely interesting if that is indeed the size, there is no way there is not a second region if that is indeed the size.
    By the way, strange that nothing has leaked yet. Smooth job keeping copies out of the people's hands for so long. I think that by the end of our day (you're also on GMT+3, aren't you?) or at max tomorrow morning, we'll have the first details.
    Maybe that's a technicality, but I don't like the way you put it very much: "Perhaps the conclusion of the event is that the original dragon has to be reborn in another region."

    I have mixed feelings in seeing the "ultimate" Pokémon of Unova in someplace else, in a very side-role... Granted, Azure Flute was never distributed (which made absolutely no sense) and the most deal out of Arceus was made in HGSS; but at least the event was there... If Generation VI is in a completely different setting, which is the most likely considering they pushed the Unova related things quite a bit, the Original Dragon would be simply out of place. I'd rather have it refed to in some way, or even shown, even if it's capturable, than have its concusion be unfitting.

    Well, of course there is the possibility of an off-region event (or even a simple distribution); I must say that the former would indeed be nice, especially if it was in conjunction to B2W2 (á la Lock Capsule). That would also open the chance of seeing some (all?) of the Generation V protagonists, which would make it not feel off.

    I don't believe they hadn't thought of a sequel during BW. :p
    Well, sometimes in interviews, developers talk so generically, that it's hard to make anything out of what they say. But surely, if they present B2W2 as something "out-of-the-box" (which really is not) and a bright idea, then I expect the trend to go on. Plus, as we've discussed so many times, with the dynamic options they have through DLC in 3DS (new Pokémon, plots, characters, missions, and so on), the business model that will be followed in Generation VI will probably be very different anyway. It's gonna be interesting.
    There's nothing definitive as far as I know, I was just extrapolating from knowledge of previous guides, where it seems that manga companies just like to get something out first -- and I guess those guides must be popular enough at least, as they keep doing them.

    As for Shizui's gym, I'm still unsure where it is in myself, though it probably will turn out to be in Eastern Unova, that one of the only shots of him has him talking about rivers makes me a bit suspicious about locating it on an island.
    That could mean Kanto, but that could mean a second region. Thanks for that, I think everything is now set in stone.
    Would like to say however that your convo with him on the guidebook is interesting. He sounds like there is nothing to be taken from the fact that there are 2 guidebooks, but then he takes it back when you explain that a huge story is promised through it. If anything, a second region is gonna happen.
    That is definitely good news!

    Do you really think Serebii will reveal information about the game on Wednesday once the screenshots begin to get posted on 2ch? We know that it is going to be agonizing as I'm betting the 2ch users who get it will probably play through it very slowly, so I can only hope Serebii will reveal something at that stage.
    That's hilarious. I'm just not going to bother arguing with people about it anymore, since the games release is so close (not to mention the fact a ROM leak is likely even closer). I am just very much looking forward to confirmation of a second region/set of islands off map, I just want it to be confirmed so people will stop denying it.
    If Tajiri was reading that interview, I hope he can tell how bullshit Masuda is being.

    Honestly, stuff like that is the reason I don't go there.
    That's what I was thinking. They were desperate, and none of the higher ups could think of anything new (clearly) so they scrapped "the bottom of the barrel" and finally listened to one of their grunts. Honestly, I hope they now realize that 15 years of doing the same thing have trapped them in the same mindset, and that they should probably be looking for external sources for ideas.

    Also, they say they "gave it their all" but everyone in the World Tournament who isn't a Hoenn character is using their old sprites and designs. I hardly call that giving it their all.
    I think my interest in the Resolution form lies solely with the fact that as a forme, it seems to be handled similar to an evolution (conceptually crossed between move-based evolutions and the Slowpoke line).

    I'm also thinking Genesect may get in-game relevance given its connection to Team Plasma.

    Also, I saw that interview and really didn't like reading it. I cannot believe they actually thought they could sell two grey versions. Had that happened, I would not blame anyone for giving up on the franchise. Masuda should quite while he's ahead.

    Masuda's comments really has me wondering whether their creative team consists of people similar to users on these forums, who predict what Game Freak is going to do next simply because of past patterns. Now my hopes for Game Freak doing something unique in Gen VI is a bit shattered.
    I have seen people that say that, and it is a very stupid statement especially since there is evidence against it. It's clear Shizui's gym is on the eastern side, and like you said, its covered in ice on the map yet in the screenshots it is clearly dry and fine. We obviously need to get to him to get his gym badge before the league. I only believe that one, maybe two or three places are frozen under that ice. Not all of that.

    If after all of this wait, there is no second region or set of islands.. just something good off the map, I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I would be yet I know if I express my distaste with it people will just say that we set ourselves up for disappointment by expecting it when I don't think that is the case at all because this all started with Looker's reference so I don't see how people can fault us.
    That is one of my biggest factors for wanting a new region, the fact that Unova already isn't even that big. Especially compared to the likes of Sinnoh & Hoenn, so the game definitely needs an expansion because staying in the same place in the sequels even though quite a lot has changed is not good enough, ESPECIALLY for the post-game. The new areas may create a good portion for the story, but I can bet not all of them will help with the post-game so a new area off-map is definitely needed.
    If they are anything like the Coro Coro text based leaker, it will probably be agonizing. I doubt 2ch will reveal much related to the plot anyway, they'll probably just post pictures only so you are right to say that you don't expect much until the ROM is leaked.

    How will you feel in the case that there is no second region? I still feel confident that there is one, and I'm very excited we may finally know of it by the end of the week.
    Him and the entire forum have either taken it as a silly idea and never really seem to touch on it. I'm giving up on it if there's no leeway.
