Pokemon Black/White

The games are out in about a week in Japan, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to discuss 'em with the fair few folk out here who, well, care. Rumor has it there'll be a total of 156 new Pokemon (more than any generation ever).

So, who's excited? :D

I'm a jaded old-schooler - you only need the original 151. ; )

I'm sure I'll end up picking it up when it hits the States, but I'm not pumped.

Hadn't played any new games since Saphhire/Ruby until I picked up Diamond earlier this year...still want the Soul Silver/Heart Gold but will probably definitely pick up Black/White once my FA check gets here lol. 

Depends on the games after. Usually there is a good mix of all the new one's and a good bunch to all of the one's that from the game before in the older game cases. Like in the Diamond and Pearl there are the new ones, but also quite a good mix of one's from the last few generations of games. Including some old standards from the beginning. 

If you're interested in spoiling yourself, Serebii.net has a full list of types, stats, and sprites for the new Pokemon. Takes the mystery out of the game, though, so don't look if you don't wanna.

I got me a FIREY PIGGY!

My life is now complete. Bacon that can cook itself. What a concept!

Woohoo! super excited! I just got my Celebi from Game Stop too :)

I'd have posted here, but... I'm reaching the 24 hour mark of gameplay. Samurott is kicking some serious butt, and the Lucky Egg's early availability has rocked my team so hard off the charts.

Definitely need to get this on my R4 immediately. 

Man Crawler, I'm not even past the third gym yet. o.o

Yeah, too much time on your hands. :p

The worst part is that Ice Beam's TM isn't available until after the Elite Four. 

Did everyone download Victini via wifi? It's pretty cute and I like having it in my party...its ability ups the accuracy of the team so they miss alot less.

das, don't use Pansage/Panpour/Pansear....they don't learn very good moves and you have to evolve them with stones, so they stay weak longer if you are waiting for them to learn moves. Unless you plan on using a lot of TMs. I got both games...I'm playing through White so I can trade over what I'd actually like as my team to Black. I like to start one of the games and trade the starter over to the other and restart it so I can have all three starters between both games, so in White I have Oshawott, and Black I will play through with the other two. So far I'm in the big city with Victini, Dewott, Munna, Blitzle, Petilil, and Pidove as my team. I need a dark, fighting, and ground Pokemon though...since Victini is psychic I may replace Munna. I'm a little annoyed that they don't have better options in this game.
