Character Discussion Thread

Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

Oh, the rival. He looks so badass.
But I heard he will probably be a derp like Jun, based on his speech in one of the screenshots.
 
Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

At least he'd be a cool derp. Why can't I play as him D:

I'm guessing they just named the characters in the screen shot Black 2 and Rival? I don't know why people didn't go for that as temporary PC names and resorted to using "Blaze" and "Sparkles"

I know that feel.
I don't want to beat the crap out of him. He's so cool to lose :) I'd really love to play as him.

About the names, I'll be calling the rival Spike until they reveal his true name. Don't care about the player characters.
 
Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

For the rival, a couple of sentences are new. They go something like this.

"What could the reason for his passionate thoughts be? As the older brother he keeps the thoughts of his little sister close."

This sentence makes me hope there's more depth to his character, and that we'll find out in this generation rather than waiting two generations to learn stuff about our past rivals *coughSilvercough*

I know this seems morbid, but saying "the thoughts of his little sister" makes me think she's dead D:
(Or maybe had parents who divorced and one took the sister away...)

Nice. This sentence does not sound like something a derp guy would say. Jun in all DPP games never said something that "deep" haha
 
Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

I'm just hoping he's multi-dimensional. I don't see why he can't be derp and deep.

EDIT: So looking at PC art again...

The girl isn't wearing a skirt. She's actually wearing shorts, but the shorts are frilly. You can see what looks like a pant leg
 
Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

He can, although right now I can't picture someone being both.
 
Re: Black & White 2 Character Discussion Thread

Betting Homika has a Koffing. I just noticed the stage in the background shows Koffing (better view in the Vs. sprite image)

EDIT: I think this is a detail most people would have missed since it's at the front page and requires you to scroll around:

We have our first tanned character, and as far as I know, Homika is our first freckled character. Nice to see Game Freak being less generic.

I wonder if the book is relevant?
 
Re: Revealed Gym Leaders Thread: Nay or Yay?

Homika is awesome and badass. Everything about her. And it's been since the first games we've had a poison specialist, despite they having gotten stronger.

I'm looking forward to see both her gym and her involvement with the story. Probably the character I'm happier about.


The water gym dude though... he is from an overdone gym type, and looks like a generic surfer swimmer guy. I mean, when even Brawly stands out more than you, there is a problem.

I hope there's finally a Dark gym, because otherwise I'm going to blame him having taken up the spot.
 
Re: Professor Akuroma

Achroma is definitely an antagonist - no doubt about it. CoroCoro said that he is mysterious and "hard to read" - and he looks to be so.

I think I have to agree with you on this part. These doesn't seem to be something great for a particular character, and I think he also looks the part of an antagonist. If he's not for some reason, well, we have another curveball.
 
Re: Professor Akuroma

He just gives me the chills of an antagonist just like N did.
 
Re: Professor Akuroma

That book and the item he created sounds pretty much what you would expect from someone who would want to unlock the mysteries of the Dragons.
 
Re: Professor Akuroma

I could see him working independently kinda like Eusine in crystal/hgss. Being obsessed with kyurem inventing a device to change its appearance and formulating his wardrobe around it.
 
Re: Revealed Gym Leaders Thread: Nay or Yay?

Of the two, Homika is easily the more intruiging. I said so in the anime forum, but as the presumed 'first gym leader' of the game, it's pretty cool that we're getting a more colourful leader right off the bat, compared to the past ones like Brock, Roark and co, who were always considerably more 'normal' in contrast to the rest.
Plus, Scolipede guitar is rockin'.

Not really all that fond of Shizui though. Just looks like your regular swimmer dude to me, which is a bit of a step back from the last water type user, a friggin' luchadore of all things. Big shoes to fill there.
Am I the only one who wants a crusty old sea dog for a water type gym leader? You know the type. Wears a yellow fishing coat with the hood permanently over his head. Possible hook for a hand that he scrapes against glass to get everyone's attention. Always blathering on about the elusive shiny Wailord.
 
Re: Revealed Gym Leaders Thread: Nay or Yay?

So now I looked at the clear scan of Unova BW2! and tried to count the Cities we encounter !And it seems pretty linear again!

Starter town, town to get to know the game(with a little plot),long route, Water gym leader town,underwater tunnel, Castelia, chaos on route 4, Nimbasa, Driftveil, Mistralton flying to East unova city with Poison girl gym, than heading to route 12 and Village bridge and than to Opelucid city!
*Think the water gym will be full of Tympole!
*Eventually I can see Hokomoki take over Nimbasa, cause it's a city for stars and Elesa could on tour!


The only thing bugging me is WHY reveal all the new GL so "soon" ? there must be coming some new stuff and something else!
