Pokémon Black and White News

[DrP]

... ouch. I have like 6 latias and latios across all my games, so im good, but i still got the enigma stone!

[Roz~]

Or, since the versions are going to be MORE different, ill play one and buy the other

... or when the release date is announced, and its reasonable, I'll wait

Yeah, I'll probably do that. Try White and buy Black.

[DrP]

Because I like Reshiram over Zekrom anyways (the White legendary thing).
And Gochiruzeru is Black exclusive!

Some more pictures :




The bug pokemon is Kurumiru. He's a bug/grass-type pokemon. It has Swarm and Chlorophyll as abilities. It also has a new move called Bug Resistance. Seems like it could attack 2 opponents at once.

Moguryuu has two new abilities, Sand Throw and Sand Power.

It seems like there'll be 2 different boxes for each games : one where Reshiram and Zekrom tails will be glowing and one where they won't. I wonder if there'll be any differences in the games.

[Cobraroll]

I guess the boxes are just glow-in-the-dark. No difference.

[DrP]

Yep, it would be hard to make FOUR different games, and release them in a timely manner

[DrP]

As seen in the image below, new parts of the areas become accessible within different seasons, in this example a snow pile gives access to a higher cliff. It also appears that the main characters get costume changes for the seasons.
    * Accompanying the image came details on a new pink Pokémon called Tabunne (ã,¿ãƒ–ンネ) which is Level 10 in the demo. It is said to be Normal-type and knows the moves Growl, Helping Hand & Double Slap. There is no evidence confirming the existence of this Pokémon yet but we'll bring you it as soon as it's out.


Roz posted some pictures above!

The Sewing Pokemon??? That makes no sense unless it's a silkworm.

[DrP]

its probably a silkworm, so... what does it evolve into? A white moth?

[Roz~]

Anyone has a link to the female trainer image? I can't seem to find one, and I really need it.

Also here something new :

We now have confirmation that Wild Pokémon change depending on the seasons.
Victini appears at the bottom of the Liberty Garden Tower and will re-appear straight away if you knock it out.

The wild pokemon changing with the season really is interesting imho.

[DrP]

Ill try and find a picture of her. does she have to be alone?

[DrP]

you could photoshop this one.

Sturdy eliminates attacks that take away all of its HP

Your Global Link can add skins to the Pokédex and C-Gear, download new songs to the Pokémon Musical.

The Dream World is a place where you can find Pokémon without their normal abilities and the only place where berries grow

Team Plasma can be considered like PETA, or something similar. They are stealing Pokémon to "liberate" them and "free them from oppression"

Also, Minezumi's evolution, Miruhoggu has a better picture, found below

[Cobraroll]

Yay! TMs no longer disappear after use! Finally, we can dish out Earthquake, Swords Dance, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Return, Facade and the like as much as we want!

Though, I expect TMs to be way more expensive in stores...

[DrP]

... or you can get them cheaper in Gen IV, attach them to your Pokémon and transfer them over to B&W... unless they change the TM numbers on us

Pokémon Black & White - Kanto Starter Givaway

A new book coming out on September 10th in Japan, containing articles and interviews about Pokémon Black & White in addition to an introduction of various game elements, is going to include some passwords for the Pokémon Global Link's Dream World which will allow you to transfer and capture a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle from the Dream World into your Black and/or White games. Like the other Dream World Pokémon, these starters have alternate abilities to normal. We'll provide more details as and when they're out.

Seems like we'll be able to get one of the Kanto starters, which is nice.
