Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

I don't quite remember N's name being amoung those other rumors... and even so, the evil Team's name isn't confirmed yet.

This is what a person on 2ch leaked back in March.

Pocket Monster White & Black
Professor Araragi
Triple Battles
Infra-red
A foreign country is the region
Team Plasma and N

So far all these have been true, so it's safe to assume Plasma is the name of the evil team.

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

That's it... I'm getting both versions. Having two locations that are exclusive to their respective versions is a pretty "big" difference, and it might even help determine just how big of a difference there is between the storylines in each game. And I like both Reshiram and Zekrom also...

I think there's still a few more stuff that we might get out of this. Off to the side of Mystery N, there's a screenshot of You talking to him in the electromagnetic cave. It also mentions on Serebii that they're still translating 'n whatnot, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.:-/

So far all these have been true, so it's safe to assume Plasma is the name of the evil team.

I'm open to that possibility... but at the same time, I'm going to play it safe until we get further confirmation. In the 3-4 years that I've been on Internet forums in general, I've learned the hard way that you don't take rumors seriously until somebody or something reliable can confirm or deny said rumors.

My brother will probably get Black and I'll get White.

Or maybe the reverse.

I want to know all the differences before I roll in and preorder.

We also haven't learned Kibago, Minezumi, or Gochiruzeru's typings either or abilities/species, which I assume would be on there.

I'll probably being doing this, too. If not, I'll just let my sister get Black and we can compare like with what -Ryuutakeshi- said. Maybe the exclusive places will be where the exclusive Pokemon live.

I believe Gochiruzeru is based on cells, correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Actually, it's name is DERIVED from cell, my bad. But I guess that's as good a hint as any.

Maybe the opposite gender character will be absent this time around.

Hopefully. Dawn and Lyra did absolutely nothing throughout their respective games.

You're not allowed to have more than 2 friends?

I'm sure they'll have some roll.

Considering we've never had more than two friends/rivals, it's kind of doubtful GameFreak would, all of a sudden, include four of them.

We are supposed to be questioning if this is Pokemon.

I refuse to believe N is anything but a douche rival.

I mean look at him. Collared shirt, smug look, "I am the messiah" pose...

He looks like someone you just want to punch in the face.

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

Enough of that. I'm sick of everyone throwing that around. Yes, we've seen some unexpected things, but nothing yet that really deviates from what we previously knew. (Except for the two friends thing, that's sort of different, but it's hardly mold breaking) Is this Pokemon? Yes it is, it's just peppered with the standard improvements we see every time a new set of games comes around. (That was the last one, I swear)

I for one have been questioning if this really is Pokemon. I'm getting a totally different feel to Black and White, from the Persona-looking characters to the Digimon-looking Pokemon. Oh, btw...

Is this Pokemon?

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

I still don't get the "Digimon look like Pokemon" thing. :/
No one ever explains what they mean when they say that.


(although I do see the Persona looks though, lol)

Well, for the Digimon-thing, I don't know why everyone else says it, but personally the reason I use Digimon instead of Monster Rancher or something is because to me these Pokemon - with the exception of Munna, the starters, and the goth Pokemon, have a Digimon-look to me. Like, they... and they... and with the... because they... you know?

Lol, I'm sorry, I can't explain what I mean exactly, but I guess a decent way to put it is that they have the same "art style and feel" as Digimon do. Like Wargle and it's similarities Digimon's Hawkmon evolutionary line. You can Google it and see how similar they are.

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

and for the record people, this is pokémon, regardless of the digimon/whatever similarities. what we're seeing right now are innovative things. every pokémon game tries to surpass previous pokémon games. isn't it obvious, for goodness' sakes. questioning the series over some similarities to other games/shows is such a dumb action. it's not like if they're going to stick to their *old*, fourth generation features. they're coming up with new things, and it clearly is to be expected.

Re: CoroCoro Discussion Thread (Current Issue: August 2010)

I hope N is the rival. "N" could be a placeholder or a self given code name. Plus, he looks totally badass. I'm also pretty sure he's in some way related to that guy in the close-up with the eyepiece.

EDIT: Oh, and Minezumi looks like an insane woodchuck. I don't think they've colored eyes of that eye style like that before.

EDIT2: Koromori reminds me of an imp for some reason.
