I'd prefer they just change the name altogether as they've done in the past. I like the name Professor Maple for her.

All of them except Rowan, which was a direct translation from his Japanese name.

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

I'm iffy on the NYC idea, largely because it would be way out of scale to existing regions, and also because the central area doesn't seem to be just a regular park - the scan refers to it as a "mysterious area".

Also, in case anyone is wondering, the building in the bottom-right picture on the Isshu page is indeed modeled after a beehive, but the scan doesn't give any hints as to what it's for.

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

Anyone else wondering what the hell those hexagon things are on the C gear?
The pokedexs look pretty cool. I get the feeling we're going back to the scrolling from d/p/pt with the pokeball design on the bottom.
Under the map of Isshu, in the green box, I wonder what the bottom left picture is. I can't tell if its a screenshot or maybe an external device.
Also based on the screenshots, it looks like the "moving the camera around as you walk" stuff is going to be pretty location exclusive.
I like the map of the region, it looks like its got alot of cool stuff. Looks like it could be NYC to me, but idk.
I'm pretty cool with the new pokemon. I like giaru even though its pretty much a bronzor remake.
For reshiram and and zekrom's typing, I feel like the fire and electric brings them a little more down to earth. I hope they don't turn out to be as crazy time/space interdimensional as the last gen legendaries.
I'm excited about the random battle concept, I hope they pull it off right.

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

Any info on what the Proffessor is researching on?

We had;

Oak with Friendship
Elm with Breeding
Birch with Habitat
Rowan with Evolution

What is this one researching or is it still unknown?

It's the bottom screen during a battle - I can see the words "Pokémon", "Bag", and "Run" in English as well as Japanese. :) It looks pretty amazing, and it's got a new feature: that bar in the top right seems to be a weather indicator, so you can always see what the field conditions are like.

Awesome. It does look really good compared to the one color background and plain boxes we had in gen IV. I guess the weather thing is what the arrow is pointing to? That would be really cool. I'm hoping we're getting more weather affected areas rather than all "yea its sunny, like always." Maybe even changing weather conditions?

Edit: ah yea I see it now. I didn't realize that was in english at first

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

Well, PokeBeach has had a tip off saying..

# In previous games, either through moves or through abilities, players were able to alter the weather conditions of the battle field to boost certain types. For example, Groudon's Drought summons sunlight, which boosts Fire-type moves by 50%. In Black and White, players will be able to collect certain items that alter the weather conditions of the battle field. Approximately twenty of these items will affect the weather conditions so that they will boost certain types (kind of like Stadium cards in the TCG?), with some types getting added bonuses depending on the item. As a side note, in today's CoroCoro scans, there was a screenshot showing a new weather indicator (we overlooked it), which could give credence to this claim.

# One example will be setting up a Poison Field, which causes all Poison-type attacks to gain 30% accuracy, Sludge Bomb to have a 100% poison rate, and the effects of Toxic Spikes' poison to have an immediate effect.

The ice field would have the potential to make you slip on your ass and paralyze you. I mean it would make sense, and its hilarious in a way. Otherwise, 157 Pokemon sounds awesome, hopefully its true, seeing how if it is, this is the most Pokemon we've gotten since Kanto, and if the ratio of evolutions to previous species and new ones is in favor of new ones, it could be amazing.

So is anyone as excited as I am for this new pure Steel type? It has so many possibilities. Two gears together, easily could become a branched evolution.

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

I never bought into the idea that the region was based off of New York City (even though I thought it would be cool cos I live there), but now I'm in two minds seeing the map in CoroCoro. On one hand it jumped at me when I saw the shape that it kinda looked like NYC, but on the other hand if it is NYC... Then they surely changed a lot of details.

I think all the other regions have been pretty disproportional and distorted. I really could see this being NYC the more I look at the pic of the region

IMO it reminds me of Bronzor/Bronzong...

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

Black and white, good versus evil, and yin and yang are going to play a major part in the plot. However, unlike previous Pokemon games, the decisions and choices you make will "influence" the plot of the game. If you make "good" choices, you might get certain help or items, whereas "bad" choices could have negative effects. The point is that the plot will not be as cut-and-dry as previous games, changing depending on the player's actions.

Wait... KOTOR and Red Dead style choices that effect the game?

SO WANT!

I'm hoping that it's not NY, but it does look likely. A completely original region would be the best IMO.

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

guys found in pokebeach:



This afternoon we were contacted by a man named Martijn Müller, the webmaster of an old and famous Zelda website. He claimed to have insider information on Black and White, and after spending a few hours verifying he was who he claimed to be, we decided to indulge and see what he had to say. Granted, we often get a lot of people claiming to know insider information on Pokemon games, with some going to extreme lengths to fool us. However, he has revealed insider information to gaming communities before, which leads us to believe he is telling the truth. He also personally showed me some developer material from Black and White, which further cemented to me that he was telling the truth. Nevertheless, this information could be one highly elaborate scheme (it wouldn't be the first time), so for now, please just take all of it with a grain of salt - it's not confirmed and could be fake. As a fan site it is our duty to post rumors when we have gone to reasonable lengths to verify the sources, which is why we decided to post this. Remember, grain of salt!

* There will be 157 new Pokemon, bringing the total amount to 650.
* Like how Giratina compliments Dialga and Palkia, a large, green cobra will accompany Reshiram and Zekrom.
* Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.
* In previous games, either through moves or through abilities, players were able to alter the weather conditions of the battle field to boost certain types. For example, Groudon's Drought summons sunlight, which boosts Fire-type moves by 50%. In Black and White, players will be able to collect certain items that alter the weather conditions of the battle field. Approximately twenty of these items will affect the weather conditions so that they will boost certain types (kind of like Stadium cards in the TCG?), with some types getting added bonuses depending on the item.

The point is that the plot will not be as cut-and-dry as previous games, changing depending on the player's actions.
* Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru had rough designs over this past year or so, but in the last few months received major overhauls, becoming the final designs we see today.
