Otter? Awesome. I thought the closest they would ever get is Buizel / Floatzel.

I do like the snake...And I never started with the grass type before.

And here's hoping that the fire type doesn't become fire/fighting...AGAIN.

Have you seen the female trainer? Overkill Daisy Duke cutoffs. Combine that with the fact that your starters are a piggy, an otter, and a snake...

Yep, this is Pokemon: Deep South edition.

>>1422
The pig, for some reason, makes me think of electricity...

Fire/Electric would be awesome D=

>>1424
Lessee Fire/Electric
Resists Electricity, Flying, Steel(x4), Bug, fire, grass, and ice

Weak against Ground (4x), water, and rock

Lots of resistances but 4x weakness against one of the most common offensive types.

The snake makes me make think Dark subtype. The otter makes me think Ice subtype, but they might introduce a new type or two.

>>1422

I dunno, Fighting Pig sounds kind of awesome (though chances are it'll turn into some kind of weird looking boar by the time its Fighting)

Looking at the new pokemon including that devilfox thing, I'm wondering if Satoshi Tajiri even has any input on the designs anymore. The designs from 4th Gen still looked like the were in the same universe, but this is getting way out there.

On the other hand, I do like the grass skink.

HERPDERP, meant Ken Sugimori.

It's ice cream with clown makeup.

>>1437

Porn already

>>1448

For fuck sake. D:

>>1448
I found some guro of the water starter.

>>1456
And this is why I hate Kotaku.

Sorry, just because you see something on 4chan doesn't mean it's news you retards!

>>1457

At least when Sankaku does that (though replace "4chan" with "2chan" or "Kotaku"), they usually have the decency to include a porn pic.

Or pics.

>>1456

Oh Kotaku <3

>>1456
Stupid as the article is, I'm fond of the name Smugleaf.

Moot point, though. When this comes out, I'm taking the pig as my starter. Naming him Porkroast.

>>1466
If it's a girl, Porkerface

I'm just astounded that people are still playing Pokemon games.

>>1466

I'm naming her Mimi.

>>1473

It was made by adults, dammit. Of course other adults would play it.

Apparently Black/White is going to be set in a new region called Isshu, which is a great distance away from Kanto, Sinnoh, and the others.

Speculation is that it might be a United States analog.

New pokemanz look liek shitz

>>1486

I can't help but think of New York/San Francisco looking at that.

>>1486
>Isshu
>Is shu
>Is shoe
and that, people, is how my brain works.

>>1420
>>1456

>>1519
Awesome.

>>1519
Haters, they gonna hate on 'em.

Let's give Wotter some credit.

It isn't Bidoof.

>>1456


I'm gonna call it Dan McNeeLeaf.

>>1420
>>1519

>>1559
behold! The Woobie Effect!

we love it because everybody hates it.

The mascot legendaries (as I call them) for Black and White have been revealed on the website. Zekrom (black) and Reshiram (white). The release date has also been given for the games: Fall 2010 for Japan, and Spring 2011 for the US.

>>1655
They look...kind of like digimon.

>>1655
To me, they look like kitbashed versions of past legendaries...

>>2544
That is a bold, bold move right there. Necessary, perhaps, to keep the Pokedex manageable, but I expect a lot of 10-year-old teeth gnashing on release day when kids who don't read gaming news find out they can't catch their favorites.

I personally think it's a positive step to break players away from their old teams and habits. Makes it feel more like a new game than an expansion pack.

>>2510

I approve of the first two. Not so much the otter one, which is weird for me.

>>2546
>expect a lot of 10-year-old teeth gnashing on release day when kids who don't read gaming news find out they can't catch their favorites.
don't you mean 20 year old, nostalgia filled dipshits?

>>2551

Really? I figure the nostalgia whores would love the idea of being able to somewhat relive the "all new" experience.

>>2551
Well, I imagine said dipshits would know about the change-up ahead of time, from sources such as this thread.

New trailers have been released!
I don't know a word of Japanese, but here's what I spot:

*3-on-3 battles
*3D battle animations
*Wi-fi chat/battle rooms
*Dynamic overworld camera
*Some kind of dress-up and dance kind of minigame i don't even know what
*A "dream world" social network-looking thing acessable via PC
*Saw some classic 'mons in there, including a gratuitous Pikachu cameo, so apparently >>2544 isn't 100% true.

>>2555
Judging by this, and what little Japanese I know, it looks like you will be able to get the older pokemon, just they will only be available through whatever PalPark analog the game has (that arrow shooting minigame near the end, I think.)
