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

Whoa! I leave a couple of hours and suddenly there's 30 new pages. That's a lot, so excuse me if I don't add anything relevant to this discussion.

My main concern now is Isshu. For the first time I think it's not based off of any real-world place. New York? Hong Kong? Italy? Mars? Screw that! Each generation has less and less references to the real world, so maybe they finally ditched the 'real world' thing altogether and started making their own world maps, which, apart from being a nice change, would be way more creative and original. To me it looks a bit like a Zelda or Final Fantasy game map, with most of the map apparently visitable (unlike the previous regions, of which like 70% were trees covering unaccesible areas) and only a few cities in conttrast with the open field. Which I love by the way; although this makes me think that we'll get more of a storyline than the usual "beat gyms" plot. I don't see enough cities for a league, so maybe we're getting a Colosseum styled game?

The abilities... way to go!!! They sound a bit broken, but I'm sure there'll be some cost to them or a way to nerf them. I see Overconfident working only once (i.e. only raises Attack with the first Pokémon you faint, so your Attack only goes up one stage which is no big thing), for example, and so on.

So... to get Zoroark we need to transfer the shiny beasts and to get Zorua we need to transfer the movie Celebi? That's so unfair! I'd like to keep them in my SoulSilver version!

And the feature to upload your save file to the GTS and let people fight your uploaded party is just win. BEST.ONLINE.FEATURE.

Reshiram Dragon/Fire? Now I know which version I'll buy -Black Version of course.

you know, i see what you mean now with the ff map thing. i wouldn't mind that at all

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

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the new Pokedex design could be a fairly strong hint in what to expect for the 3DS

Yeah, I mentioned it waaaaay back.

But, after seeing this, I'm inclined to say we're probably wrong.

"Probably" being the key word, we'll know for sure come Tuesday.

Personally, I really think Isshu looks like New York City
Three areas of land, surrounded by water, and the Pokeball on the centre peninsula being Central Park

lol looks like I'm not the only one who thinks she's like Miss Frizzle, yay, I thought maybe I was just crazy ^^; I really hope her personality is similar to Miss Frizzle crazy but smart, and since it was brought up now I'm curious to know what aspect of pokemon her research specializes in.

This probably isn't the place, but the article on Wikipedia says that the 3DS has the processing power close to the 360 and PS3. Assuming I'm not an idiot when it comes to technology, and it's not made up, I think my mind just blew up again (happened before when all these new Pokemon were revealed).

About the Map, HOLY CRAP, I missed the two house portion of the map. Darn my earlier commentary is ruined. It does lead credence to that Chimney House being the Professor's lab though.

Edit: What about the Coney Island Amusement Park, with a theme park in Isshu, does that lend more proof for NYC?

Personally, I don't think so. While I acknowledge there are some similaritires, those aren't as striking as previous regions similarities with their real-life counterparts. That's why I don't eat it and until we get word of God to confirm it, I'll say it's an original map with no RW counterpart.

I don't know if someone already addressed this, but does Dr. Agregari (sp?)have a "tree" name.

Yep. Yew. I would have like something like Elder though.

Yes, as far as I remember, it does, although I don't remember it, I think it was yew

EDIT: Ninja'ed by Ryuu.

Anyways, I think Yew sounds weird for a female name, but I think we'll have to get used to it as it will be most likely her English name.

Come to think of it, if they were to base a region on the United States, New York City would make a lot of sense wouldn't it. Because that's where a lot of the special Pokemon events occur. It's where the dub is recorded (last time I checked), and there's a huge Nintendo store up there as well.

Well, huge is giving it a bit too much credit.

I guess, I've never actually been there (or to New York for that matter) I guess I should've just said Nintendo Specific Store instead.

If it is based off NYC, then I'm sure we'll get some sort of vague in-game reference about it.

The general shape is there, it's just the finer details that are inaccurate. But then again, all the games are like that.

Does anyone think it's probable that Hihidaruma and Shimama might be version exclusives, because of the fire/electric theme going on?

Anyone read the new rumours on Pokebeach's website? I like the Tauros evo rumour though I was hoping if they ever designed a Minotaur, it'll be a legendary.

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

Also about the professor's name, Bulbapedia says Araragi could mean Yew or orchid, But Yew is more likely, even though it sounds weird, since it's a tree.

Well, doesn't Okkido (Japanese Oak's name) mean orchid? Anyways, if Araragi also means Orchid, I could see that being her English name as it's far more femenine; plus, remember how Japanese names used to be plants or flowers and then in Gen IV switched to trees to match the English names, maybe this time it will be the other way round (English name being a flower). That would be a nice change.

Does anyone think it's probable that Hihidaruma and Shimama might be version exclusives, because of the fire/electric theme going on?

Apart from Magmar/Electabuzz and now the BW mascots, please remind me what other version exclusive counterparts have had these types?
