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

The game starts from Route 1, indicating that this region is much farther away than Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
...Ahahahaha, oh god! Hahaha!
The Kantofriends are gonna blow a fuse!

When you pick your starter, the other two go to your two rivals: Bell (the blond girl) and Cheren (the black-haired boy). They are your two childhood friends.
Satisfying our want for a female rival AND a male rival to preserve tradition. Well played, Gamefreak. Well played.

N will keep challenging you in order to confirm his ideas of justice. He calls Pokemon his "friends," but one of the screenshots shows him saying that he wants to split humans and Pokemon and divide them so that the world is black and white. He has the unique idea to set Pokemon free from people. He's looking for the power to grant these ideals.
So...Lance from Pokemon Special?
This dude is a nutjob. I love it!

Characters in the game will use the Live Caster feature to talk to you as well. o.o'
I hope the in-game Live Caster can be used regardless of which DS you have. It would actually be good promotion.

"You want to do this with your real friends? BUY A DSi!"
"LOL NO. Now stop moving, Bell. I want to draw on your face."

Is N a member of PETA?

Looks like N is a Pokemon version of an extreme animal-rights activist. I wonder what kind of power it is he is seeking.

I didn't expect that one.

Hmmm, so their taking a reboot in the series a bit more seriously than RSE by actually having the routes recounted.

Makes me think there won't be remakes/travelling to past regions, or if there are the routes will have "international" designators.

Starting from Route 1 certainly brings credit to the whole "different country" theory, and also justifies the massive style change.

So my idea that N's whole "I will beat the Champion" thing isn't about him wanting to take the league title, but that he believes he is powerful enough to do so and is the Dragon to the mastermind of Team Bad Guys may actually come true.

And that's one of my theories confirmed. Two rivals, opposite genders, neither the opposite gendered-character.

So wait, N wants to free pokemon from people. Then how will he battle you, then?
Well, so far N seems to be a more substantial antagonist than Cyrus.

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

Wow. Just wow.

Something tells me he'll look for power from the evil team, the leader of which will turn out to be his father, and the team will have manipulated N to further the evil team's cause but not N's. This is just speculation. However, as far as I can tell, N's motives are not evil, or at least he thinks that.

Are you kidding me? He wanted to destroy and rebuild the universe so that there was no spirit.

You know how the two childhood friend rivals get the other starters? What if N's "starter" is Kibago? Because Kibago is in like, every image the starters are on. Plus, that'd make him more rival-like and strong too to have a Dragon-type the moment you fight him.

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

Since the two rivals and the player character are going to get the three starters, I'll go with the theory that Cheren gets the starter with a type advantage to yours and Bell will get the starter with the type disadvantage.

Hm... it looks like the sprites of old Pokémon are being based on their Platinum sprites rather than their HG/SS ones.

A close up of N's pic shows his golden Rubics cube isn't actually just golden. It has patterns on it. I bet its something important towards his plan.

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

New info are pretty interesting!
I wonder how they kept so many details for the -basically- August issue, supposingly the issue before the one devoted to their release. Still good, I don't like spoilers! :p
Characters so far are pretty interesting. I like to see them not following walked paterns when creating characters, as they did in DPT.

Now, that leaves one question.
Is the opposite gender character going to appear in the game?
I sure hope they do, though, info so far seem to point indifferent...

CRUD! Black city is in Black, and I'm getting white for Zekrom. However, black city is in 3 of my favorite colors: black, neon green, and neon blue (yes, I know neon glows reddish orange, I'm just using it to describe the shades.) Oh well, White Forest doesn't look that bad.

Why can't it just be a cool accessory?

Now that I think about it, White Forest reminds me not only of Green Forest from Sonic Adventure 2, but also Green Plant from F-Zero GX. I might like it after all...

So the routes start back at 1? That's neat and fun, honestly.

And N definitely seems like a nut job. XD
