Team snagem are the most fucking bad ass fuckers of them all!

This, this, a thousand times this!
I wish Nintendo would go back to making villains that were actually likable.
Team Rocket had charm to them, both in the games and the anime.
Hell, especially in HG/SS. Petrel's my favorite Rocket Executive.
Team Magma and Aqua were... Meh. The leaders just seemed to be idiots who had no idea what the fuck they were messing with. Though, they were at least somewhat amusing as they poked fun at crazy-go-nuts environmentalist groups and the like.
As for Team Galactic... Just... urgh. They were barely even a team. They were more like some kind of cult, to be honest.
Remember the Galactic Grunt gathering scene in the Galactic HQ in Platinum?
Whenever I see that, I imagine Carpainter and a bunch of Happy Happyists instead of Cyrus and the Grunts.

Yeah, that shit was pretty ridiculous and stupid.
The only reason I like it is because I like the idea of training a legendary up from Lv1.
Plus, it's fun to imagine how cute a baby legendary would be :3

Concerning changes, it reminds me of Red/Blue/Yellow.
Firstly, nostalgia-goggles, lol. Regardless, RBY wasn't really very good. It wasn't. The inventory system was shit, it was riddled with some game-breaking glitches, and the balancing issues were terrible (sup, psychic types?). Good game, story-wise, but there was too much bad shit in those games. Still, they're still my favorites simply due to nostalgia.
GSC was the best. 251 seemed like a fair number of Pokemon, the balancing issues were mostly fixed, almost no glitches, and everything that was improved upon and added was genuinely awesome.

Curious to know what's going to happen in this iteration.

I think what's also missing in the pokemon series is a decent 'Pokemon Stadium 2' analogue.

Pokemon Battle Revolution is hardly a game by comparison.

"At last the titles for the brand new Pokemon games we've been working on has been revealed!

Pocket Monsters: Black
Pocket Monsters: White
We are putting in much time and effort to drive every little bit of quality these titles have as high as possible.

We want these titles to be enjoyable to those who have played the series up until this point, to those who have never played the series yet, and this time even to those who figure they've graduated and moved on from the Pokemon series by now.

We want to have as many people as possible enjoy these titles.

The Pokemon series will be reborn in an innovative way due to these titles.

Please stay tuned!

Chao!"

Oh my god, YES.
Hell, Nintendo could just port the minigames from Stadium 1 and 2 to DS.
I'd play it forever.

Wow... I really wonder what's coming. Maybe it'll be done in retro style (red and blue was actually black and white only, too). On the other hand, an innovative way... They didn't really change the mechanics a lot over the past few years. Maybe they're planning to do something radically different. But I hope they maintain compatibility with the fourt generation. I'd hate if they pulled a Ruby/Sapphire! (though I actually like the games.)

Also, I wonder if a Ruby/Sapphire remake is coming... Probably not! But it'll have to come one day..

Well Ruby/Sapphire's incompatibility was because the hardware between the GB/GBA isn't compatible mostly. They couldn't have helped it.

I really doubt they'll do much other than mix up the story formula. Well, I hope that's all they do. Battle mechanics are pretty sublime as they are now. (Except perhaps the over powered Stealth Rock should be nerfed a bit.)

Actually, they inserted a new pokemon growth system in R/S/E, so that would be one guess on why they could not have support.

Pretty much, yes, it's because of incompatibility between GB/GBA. They cleverly utilized that situation as a chance to rework the mechanics.

Yeah. I got mad at them for not making them compatible, but then I discovered that the GB Link cable and GBA Link cable stuff could not communicate, nor could, say, the N64 or Gamecube work as a medium between them without some costly adapter, which made it impractical to make the generations compatible (as a change in processors may have also changed the format the data was in and... etc...)

Essentially they had no choice without trying to justify expensive conversion software/hardware to make it possible.

I really hate how recently they made it so you have to catch the legendary Pokemon to proceed through the game. I really hope they stray away from that path. Legendaries should be optional, and you should be able to catch them when you want.

I also hope we get another bad just for being bad team like Team Rocket. They seemed more like a mobster like group of people, and the secret hideout in GSC proved that. The ones in RSE and DPPt seem more like terrorist groups that were allowed to freely roam the world than thugs.

Personally, I hope they screw with it a lot. Colosseum/XD was a breath of fresh air and despite the mechanics changes Pokemon has felt pretty 'samey' since GSC.

If they're not different enough I probably won't buy it - Pearl was the only game I bought of the current pokemon Gen because the rest all felt about the same :/

BREAKING NEWS
CoroCoro leakage, screenshots of battle and overworld!
More info on Bulbapedia

Comments? I don't really like how they just keep on adding perspective on the overworld, but that's just me... And I hope that the double-sized backsprite is just part of an animation..

Looks awesome.


That city... really looks like a city and not a collection of houses around a sidewalk. And it even has its Mart integrated into the PokeCenter! Now THAT is more like a city!


Since the backsprite is double-sized and Zorua seems a bit undersized, I'm wondering if the battle scenes will shift around during the course of the battle, zooming in and stuff.

A dynamic battle screen seems likely. Perhaps there will be REAL attack animations for each pokemon? That'd be pretty insane.

I'm somewhat undecided about the new OW. The fact that it looks more like a city is awesome, but I think the perspective is a bit too exaggerated. (Though I guess that relative sizes have always been off in pokemon overworlds. )

Ugh, sprites were not made to be distorted like that. (Some shots sprites are so messy..)

Also, one of the cities have gone the animal crossing route (Notice the sign slanted south)

Real attack animations? That would require a good number of frames for every single Pokemon front and back. I don't think will happen.



Also, I'm much more confident about the battle scene being dynamic. See Zoroark's sprite? It's not really looking at Zorua, it's looking off to the right. Same for the other one, Zorua is looking more to our left than where Zoroark is currently. I have a feeling that if you lined them up properly, it would be pretty close to the typical battle positions.
