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

It could be possible that the map they designed is based off of northern Honshu and was edited in such a way that it looked like Manhattan. And anyways, my area is (I believe) much bigger than Manhattan and thus more suitable for a region. Add that to the distance between it and ToJoh, I see no reason why it isn't northern Honshu.

Oh and btw, is that the Sinjoh ruins I see on the map?

All of the regions are pretty distorted size-wise compared to their actual places in the real world. Could you really walk across the area Kanto/Johto are based off of in a matter of 10 or 15 min? (wild battles neglected) I think not. Manhattan is just one borough of NYC, so yes this is bigger, it appears to be all of NYC and then some. Also your "Sinjoh" ruins could be any ruins. Hell every region has had some kind of ancient ruins.

This map just looks too much like NYC to me

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

Sinjoh ruins? Unlikely...it would be on the southern edge....and the only thing i see is a city.

Sir or Madame, i mean no offense, but have u seen Manhattan? the city and piers are placed PERFECTLY on the map. theres also a small area between it and C park that would make for the desert. im really not sure what else could convince you if a solid map even couldn't...

EDIT: the area you are suggesting is Almia...

That assuming the map ISN'T rotated. Flip the map 180 degrees. Then that area is on the sourthern side. And the peninsulas of northern Honshu (albeit smoother) fall right into place.

Oh, and to answer your question: Proof that there was any mention of New York in a Game Freak-related blog within the last 6 years.

Okay, I don't see the ruins.
That may be them above the mountains in the map.

How about the pokemon center that was there? Yea its a nintendo store now but if I'm not mistaken its still pretty heavily pokemon themed. And isn't the anime translated in NY?

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

Correct me if Im wrong, but the reason Im preety sure that we get it early is because the magizine is shipped early to subscribers, kinda like shonen jump here. So technicly the mag is already out.

Pokemon sunday almost never shows anything new.....so yah.

The Official Street Release is still the 15th and to the Non-Subscriber's they may have to wait till Tuesday.
I could be wrong and they will show them without Silhouette's but just because it Leaked dosen't mean it's "Officially Released" throughout Japan.

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

Upon first glance at the spoilers, my mind went insane. Holy shit. 7 new Pokemon! 7! 7! My god, new Pokemon! I thought. Now that I've calmed down, I can look at the other aspects of the spoilers in greater detail. And one of the first things I see, that I hadn't before, was Celebi and Zorua next to trains. YES! FOLLOWING POKEMON! I scream in my mind. I sure hope that's what this means.

And then I got to studying the region more. Holy crap, are those tiered plateaus?! Look, a waterfall! That looks like a possible marshland. Ice mountains on the left, and those look like more on the right behind the text! Oh, a castle! A lighthouse West of Hiun and a huge desert in the middle! Oh my, I think I spot the train tracks. So many different things in this region. It's looking to be one of my favorites, no doubt. I loved Hoenn so much. This, for some odd reason, reminds me of it. It's just... diverse! Kanto and Johto seemed slightly generic and boring to me. I dunno why. This just... makes me giddy inside! This region just looks like there is more to explore in the wild than just traveling from one city/town to the next. Here, it looks as if you'll be saying "Now I'm heading to the waterfall. Oh, and after that, we'll be on our way to the plateaus!" Man I love this.

Holy crap, I never noticed that. That means Munna has nothing to do with the drowzee line. Munna is a dream eater, drowzee and hypno are hypnosis pokemon. there's no longer any argument for Munna becoming drowzee.

Don't speak so quickly to disprove something. You know that Pokemon can have a certain species name, evolve, and then have a new species name.

And why cannot the Remoraid/Octillery argument be made? Yeah, I know that Munna is bright pink, chubby, and it has a floral design while Drowzee looks nothing alike. But the trunk is too apparent. Munna just looks like a chubby, baby tapir in my eyes.

I'm not saying "Oh my goodness, it's got to be a Drowzee prevo." I don't necessarily want it to be, either. I'm just saying... Anything's possible. Just don't be so fast to shoot down the idea of it being a prevo all because the species name is different.

True, but what I mean is that, it wouldn't make sense for something that is the species that eats dreams would turn into evolutions that use hypnosis. To me their just not related enough to be an evo line.

How do you think Pokemon use the move Dream Eater in the first place? They usually lead off with Hypnosis. I'm not quite sure why you don't see the relation here. It's pretty obvious.

Pokebeach said:
Now this is quite interesting. Was Munma referenced in the first generation games? After you defeat a Lass outside of Rock Tunnel in Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and their remakes, she tells you...

"The POKEMON here are so chunky! There should be a pink one with a floral pattern!"

Quite the random description, with no Pokemon since now ever fitting it. There has been a rumor circulating on the Internet for years and years that Gamefreak originally created more than 1,000 Pokemon designs, and while we know that some Pokemon were delayed a generation (like Shellos and Gastrodon, originally for Ruby and Sapphire), who would think that after almost 15 years they would actually use a concept from that far back? Was Mun'ma a rough idea that long ago or even a near-complete design? Seems like Gamefreak is really scraping the barrel if that's the case. Regardless, it's astounding that Red and Green from 1996 now reference a Pokemon from 2010. Thanks go to Zierant from our forums for notifying us of this

It was in Red/Blue/Yellow. That statement was first made 14 years ago. Wow. To think this Pokemon may have been sitting dormant in design for all these years and now they release it. I know it's too much to say this is "further proof" of being related to Drowzee, but the possibility is always there.

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 GameFreak to confirm it, I'll say it's an original map with no RW counterpart.

*Fixed.

Not to mention it is literally the biggest city in the world...Its not too shocking to see that GF wanted to use such a popular state.

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

Those are not handled by Game Freak, shake. Those are handled by Pokemon USA and Nintendo, not Game Freak. Thus, there is not enough proof of a connection as of yet besides shape, which even then is debatable given GF's history of distorting places actual shapes and sizes and my pointing out of the area just south of Sinnoh, not the tip of Sinnoh but the tip of northern Honshu.

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

Perhaps these "battle conditions" that are sort of like weather (the rumors at Pokebeach) could be the new mechanic in this generation. I mean, something that affects each and every type is pretty damn in depth. That could change the game drastically. I certainly think it would be neat.

If you're talking about NYC, it's not the biggest city in the world.

Eh I don't think it is. Don't quote me but I think Tokyo and Beijing might be bigger.

Eh its all the same thing. Pokemon is more or less all one company under Game Freak or at least nintendo. I'd bet everything ties in together as far as pokemon goes.


Nvm screw it. There's an Isshu thread for discussing this.

Bay (or whoever) where are you seeing the pokemon follow you? I really like the idea of this. Maybe I just got used to it in hg but I kind of like it. I'd like to see what the new pokes look like following you around

Mexico City is the biggest city in the world.

Anyway it looks too much like NYC to just dismiss it and using an arguement like they distorted the shape of a Japan region and it came out looking like Manhattan is just grasping at straws.

No, as Nintendo is not in charge of what the game's region is based off of. They produce the games but do not "own" Satoshi Tajiri. Satoshi makes the decisions on what the games are going to be like as well as make all the Pokemon ideas. Nintendo mass-produces the games and merchandise because, if Satoshi still created the anime, then it would most likely be closer to what Pokemon Special is than what it currently is. Then again, I don't know what could be on Satoshi's mind. It could be that he wanted to use New York but made it a part of Japan. Who knows as of yet?

For the discussion of where Isshu is based, I'm reminded by this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkkRb-nkofw

...Id think they would appeal to the company that mass produces their games though...forget PUSA, think about the Nintendo center :p

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

In regards to the recently posted spoilers...

A moral system in a Pokemon game I won't buy (as in, I'm not sold on the idea of it coming to fruition unless GF really wanted to get serious). Maybe there will be small cause and effect scenarios, but have a system is very ambitious. I don't see a game of this scale delivering that.

Items that alter the battle field? What a terrible headache that'll be. And where does that leave the original moves, like Sunny Day and Rain Dance? Even once in a while I still have to check the list of what they can affect. Trying to do that for 17-different Fields is nuts!

I truly believe Nintendo doesn't care as long as it's not to violent to violate its predetermined rating and makes money. Alot of money since Pokemon is Nintendo's second-biggest cash-cow (maybe soon-to-be first?).

Still...if they go overboard with an evil theme, you KNOW parents are going to complain.

"my little Susie just robbed someone"

How about an interview?

http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/6...atinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more.html

I've posted that several times and I'll keep posting it.

G4: Masuda-san, I read on your blog that you're excited to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Why are you fascinated with bridges?

JM: [Laughs and shows me a photo that he took of the Golden Gate Bridge.] I love bridges and seeing different types of bridges. Each element of a bridge is very simple, but they all come together to become this huge and strong thing. That's why I'm fascinated with bridges like the Golden Gate Bridge. Bridges like that have to be strong to hold all the iron, concrete, cars, but at the same time they have to be flexible so that they can withstand heavy winds or an earthquake. The Golden Gate Bridge is very beautiful with its bright-red coloring. Just thinking about all the different components that go into building this one beautiful bridge -- that fascinates me.

Bridges look very simple, but if you look closely and see all the different elements -- it's a very complicated matter.

G4: And really, that's the perfect metaphor for Pokemon, isn't it?

JM: Yes, I agree.

New York isn't mentioned specifically. But I find it very intriguing that the Golden Gate Bridge is the one being talked about. They do allude to his blog about bridges, so you're welcome to also sort through that.

But the golden gate is in my state...California....not New York. And, although it was within the time frame I mentioned, there is really no connection between it and New York besides that there are big bridges in New York (-_-)

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

I bet GF knows that its product is selling in America. Maybe it is time for a tip of the hat to us. I doubt they're oblivious that there is a big store in NY selling plush dolls and hats and whatnot with their creatures on them.

Nvm I found the pic of celebi and zorua. Maybe there is a feature to turn this off and on. Hopefully its not just an event thing.
Also if mamepato is going to be the early route pidgey-esque bird pokemon, I hope it gets a better evolution. I hope it gets rid of the hearts and crap.
