I love you for making this thread.

Well, the only thing I'm looking forward to is the division of Team Plasma. Apparently, everyone who wants Pokémon liberation follow N as everyone who want to rule the world for evil goes with Ghetsis. I think I might die if I don't get a release date for this game.

Also, didn't the previous Pokédex for Black & White already have a section that showed where the Pokémon was located? Apparently, it's been implemented in this sequel.

About that ROM thing, even if it did leak, they'd have problems trying to remove the anti-piracy that was placed in it. I mean, that's exactly what happened with the more recent Pokémon ROMs.

Edit: Ekaru you fucking ninja.

Oh yeah, that part looks to be pretty interesting. I want to know what's going on next FFFFFF-

And I do hope we get a more specific release date before the school year starts. The sooner I know what week I shouldn't plan on getting much done the better.

I'm sure it should be out definitely after September 1st but even then, the wait seems super long. I also need help trying to buy a DS because I'm not sure if they're going to be using 3D as a base for the new games after this.

Additionally, I looked up the first rating on the game as it got a 36/40 from a Japanese magazine of some sort. Black / White got a perfect 40/40 so I can't really determine if this game is gonna be as great as the first until I get become brainwashed.

So, should I get a DSi or a 3DS? Pokémon Black / White always seemed like a 3D game to me so I can't really choose.

I'll just wait for the ROM. Meanwhile I still have to get around to finishing Black, I played halfway and lost interest completely.
Azure_Kite
A day earlier that the ROM gets leaked is potentially a day less we have to wait for an AP Crack. I'm so evil.

I'll buy it once it gets an Australian Release, though.

Gen 6 will definitely be on the 3DS. What I would do is get the just-announced 3DS XL when it comes out this August. That will allow you to play DS games in "no-upscaling" mode without the screen being small like it would be on a normal 3DS. This will give you the best of both worlds - the clear screen of the regular DS line combined with the ability to play 3DS games. If you can afford it, that would be the best option.

Also, the second gym leader's English name is "Roxie".
Azure_Kite
I dunno. The 3DS XL looked very.... cheap. I like the gloss of the older gen :<
Hika
Hm. If it's not above $150, I'll take it.

I'll always think of the second gym leader as Homika. I hate it when they translate names I get used to.

It looks like a children toy! :D

Wait, actually, it looks retarded. Just get a regular 3DS during one of the currently-regular deals for the most cost-efficient buy.

$200 USD

why would the 3DS XL launch at a lower price point than the regular 3DS?
mm201
The regular 3DS is already as big as I can take.
The regular 3dS has about as low a DPI as I can tolerate.
The 3DSXL doesn't have that second circle pad it so desperately needs.
The 3DSXL therefore doesn't interest me one bit.

I'll probably end up playing these on my lite since it has better colour and native resolution anyway.
Nintendo needs to make a "retina display" 3DS lol

The first 5 minutes of this game have been entertaining so far. About to face my rival.

And yes, I may or may not be doing what you think I'm doing.
Hika
SPOILER
I spoiled most of the good parts of the game by reading a twitter page with so many weeks worth of Pokèmon Black & White 2.
Why the hell is the Champion Iris?!

Edit: For NoHitter. ):

Spoilerbox the above text please D:
Hika
You know you can't hide from the truth anyway, it's everywhere! The only thing I need is that date & the name of the 8th gym leader & then I'm good to go...

This release is killing me inside & it should be quite obvious. I need that release date before I start melting from pain.

Why is it proving so bloody hard to get a damn Psyduck? Which RNG lord have I displeased?

EDIT: This game doesn't baby you the way Black and White did. BEWARE! :P
Hika
There's a challenge mode after you complete the main storyline apparently. Oh, I spoiled the entire gameplay by reading on serebii. DON'T DO IT.
Jinxy
I only want to know one thing, does anyone know if the BW1 protoganists are in the game?
SuzumiyaBR

There's the Team Plasma division, there's N once again along with Ghetsis & a new guy or something. /nospoil

EDIT: Damn, so like after 2 days or so, I noticed you said protagonists instead of antagonists.

Yes, everyone is back excluding the two playable characters from the prequel.

SPOILER
The Regis and Latis are to be found in this game.
I guess that means no RS remakes this gen...
mekadon_old
Would be better if you can see BW1's main character (Black/Bianca) as the Champion or somesortofshitlikethat

Or I'm lazy to read serebii

But Gen3 was my favorite...
Hika
Gen III will always be my favourite because Steven Stone was in it. Of course that's me not knowing how Emerald was like. It's been rumored that there will be something like Gray or something related to that? Of course it's following the pattern like R/S -> or R/B -> or D/P -> Pt. It's believable.

I hope those Gen III remakes are soon though but I doubt Masuda will want to do anything with those until Gen VI.

Dear God I so wanted a Gen III remake.
Pokémon Ruby was my first Pokémon game :/

Same. I doubt they'd remake since I think they remade I and II only because of how many large changes were made and how you can't transfer pokemon from II to III. There's no such problem now, so I don't think a remake is coming any time soon.

Anyway, why are you need a Remake to the 3rd Gen?
Makes no sense and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald are new enough.
Azure_Kite
Because Braille and I like the landscape of Hoenn more than I do Kanto, Sinnoh and Unova. Johto's pretty up there in terms of cool landscapes.

Why? No idea. It just is.

If they SERIOUSLY remade R/B/Y 2 damn times, why would they not remake R/S/E?
I mean sure, it's really nice the way it is but I think it deserves a remake. It's not fair to leave it all hanging alone. /cry

Relating to the actual topic, I think that the Unova Link feature is pretty interesting...
Jinxy
Wait, 2 times?
Hika
If you could count SS/HG (even though it's mainly based on Johto). I mean, I'd count it as a remake of Kanto... It kinda is right?
Jinxy
No, remaking a game means having the same story to me. HGSS remade GS's version of Kanto, not RBY.

It's true that it was almost, if not completely impossible to transfer from II to III (I could have sworn one of the Advance games had some special way to do it... but maybe not), but we're also coming up on the point where it's getting harder to transfer pokemon from Gen III to recent games, since the DSi and 3DS don't have GBA slots. Once a main series game comes to the 3DS there will be no way to get older generation pokemon to it without at least going through one of the DS versions, assuming that it's even possible to trade from a DS game to the 3DS at all. I predict that after Black and White 2 they will release either a new, independent main series game for 3DS with R/S after, or they'll make the R/S remakes the first full games for 3DS.
Hika
The 3DS doesn't have a GBA slot? Why didn't I know this before? This just changes everything now...

You didn't know? They got rid of it in the DSi, which has been out long enough that some places don't even sell the Lite anymore let alone the original design.
Azure_Kite
I still have my DSLite, but the d-pad is damaged on the top and right sides and the left trigger doesn't trigger properly. Small things. I'm surprised Black and White 2 already have a complete Item/Pokemon Name translation, as well as battle attacks stats.

Off-Topic, have we had a general Pokémon thread before?

I don't think so.

About the Idea for a Remake to R/S: I think, Game Freak won't see as neccessary to remake the 3rd Gen for the reason you still could get the Pokemons from R/S to Black/White 2, even this is a damn stupid way to get:

R/B/Y and G/S/C had the same "graphic" (You know what I want to say) so they're in this point similar. The second thing is that you can go at Kanto in the 2nd Gen, for the reason Jotho is beside of Kanto and have a connection (over the victory road). And there is a difference of three years between the first and second Gen. And they're also some parts what both Gens share (like Team Rocket, etc.)

All other versions got their own region and own graphic, etc. However, there is actually no way to transfer the pokemon from G/S/C to R/S. And well, even you have to use a DS or DSLite, there's a possible way to get your Pokemons from R/S/E to B/W2. I still have my old DS, so I personally have no problems with it. :D

IMO it would be cool to have a Remake of R/S, since I was excited about Heart Gold/Soul Sliver. It was a way better remake as Fire Red/Leaf Green. :p

Let's fix that, then.

EDIT: Done.

EDIT2: Just beat 3rd gym. It's amazing how well a level 16 Growlithe can do against a level 24 Leavanny. >_>

Honestly, I didn't really care much about the DS because I'd always borrow one from my younger cousins. They'd barely play with theirs & they both have a DSi so I didn't do research on the 3DS much. Well, I already talked with my mother about which one to get, she's just telling me to get the 3DS as soon as we get the release date on BW2.

Also, Ekaru, is Riolu wild in the game or is it like some sort of gift Pokémon? I think it's pretty neat that they already have two of my favourite Pokémon early in the game.
