If they do the season evolution I hope the seasons don't change realistically, instead they could change every week or month. Otherwise you'd have to wait 9 months if you for example want the winter evo and it's the first month of spring.

>>2196

But seriously...

http://pokejungle.net/2010/08/06/small-eeveelution-news/ there's that though

Isshu region map with tour.

Guide:

There's a skip button when you load.
Click itm, or watch some stuff I never read.
Then click under BLACK VERSION to see the map.

When you get to the map, there are speech bubbles, so you can scroll over them, which gives you a bit of info regarding them.

All of Isshu is revealed in this map.

High Link is north, while Hiun City being South.

shit stolen from 4chan

Rumor going around on 2ch. People are saying it is true, but the guy said that he can't upload any pictures yet and would have to wait till later tonight (Japanese time).

>First off, rumor says that each gym leader will have an 'international' flavor as the Isshu region is supposed to be very multicultural, etc.

Please~

here's a map, you ungrateful bastards. If you notice any inconsistencies, tell me so that I may kick you in the balls

>>/smeargle/14105

Yeah.

If it was Yin and Yang, shouldn't Reshiram be in a black mountain?

Probably the best pika clone we've ever got.

Also, hell yeah @ Shikijika being Normal/Grass

http://pokebeach.com/news/0810/plant.png

It's... bulbasaur's head with a mini Venasaur flower, with leaves for ears, and what looks like a pair of bird feet

>>2211
Confirmed (or so 2ch says) to be fake.

Also, I'm excited about Shikijika changing forms in the Seasons (which are confirmed for month long, in our time). Evolution might swap out Grass with an appropriate type.

>>2210
Well, I kinda like it. I wanna see what it turns into.

>>2208
There's my pika rodent. And it looks like it's a Flying-type, too.

Seasons are awesome!
And it's kinda good that the cycle repeats three time per year. This way you'll be sure to get through the game in all seasons. Though, I wish there was an option for the seasons to go by the real life ones. I know I'd turn this on after 4 months of play. :P Either way, still great!

I wonder if seasons will be fixed in each month. I hope that they are, and that they don't start in the first day of each month.

January 15th - Spring
February 15th - Summer
March 15th - Autumn
April 15th - Winter
May 15th - Spring
June 15th - Summer
July 15th - Autumn
August 15th - Winter
September 15th - Spring
October 15th - Summer
November 15th - Autumn
December 15th - Winter

In this way, Winter would be in December and January, which is normal and awesome. Summer would be in June and July, meaning great. Spring and Autumn are a little fucked up.

>>2216
>PokéBeach currently says there are 3 seasons

I think that's WPM being a derp with words. "Seasons" = "Cycles", like >>2217

No, it said seasons would be repeated 3 times a year

Clearer image of Hatooboo, and what looks to be Winter form Shikijika.

"The top of the cliff in the photo cannot be reached in other seasons of the in-game "year," which means the seasonal differences will affect what parts of the map you can visit. "

I'm liking seasons already.

>>2226
Similar to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons?

>>2205 Yeah, I think the whole ice mountain being where the legendaries are is a good idea. Especially because you can see what kinda looks like the white tower right next to one. But the black city isn't really too close to the other. But I guess that could be totally irrelevant if they are in the caves. I always kinda assumed they'd be in special area exclusive to their game.

I did notice something in the map though. There is an area up near the top, that appears to only be accessible by going through the black city, or through the back of the icy mountains on the right. Same with a place on the left, that you'd have to go through those mountains and the white tower to get there. Unless the game would really let you walk through a forest the entire length of the map to skip o these places. so far i'd say it looks like those would be more areas that'd have to be exclusive to each version.

Possible Gigaiasu pre-evo. Nothing confirmed yet, though the name seems plausible.

>>2228
Confirmed fake.
Also, hooray for August scans!

I'm not following the news closely, as I'm trying to avoid spoilers. The general idea however is that Black and White are going to at least your everyday Pokemon game in quality, and I'm glad about it!

Also, anyone taking on the Labyrinth thing? I found a Leafeon yesterday, but I'm not sure if this event will last until the time BW are out in west, and be compatible with them... I can hope anyway. :P

>>2233
>TMs will no longer expire after one use - you can use them as many times as you want, like HMs!
I think I just nerdgasm'd a little.

>TMs will no longer expire after one use - you can use them as many times as you want, like HMs!

Yay!

>TMs will no longer expire after one use - you can use them as many times as you want, like HMs!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAWESOME

'...and [you] meet Team Plasma in Karakusa Town. There, one of the leaders is giving a speech to the local Trainers in which he says, "As humans, what is it that we should do?" In an earlier news story here, he had another line in which he said, "What we're discussing is liberating Pokemon."'

This is gonna be real interesting. Anyways, dumping scans because they aren't here yet.

http://pokebeach.com/2010/08/photos-of-tabunne-basurao-darumakka-from-bw-demos-next-corocoro-details
"CoroCoro has announced that their next issue will be called the “Black Document” and will feature many new Pokemon and storyline details."

We're not done yet, folks.

>>2230
Confirmed fake. Along with that ugly grass/owl thing.

NOTE: EMONGA IS REAL, BUT THE IMAGE WE FOUND OF ITS SPRITE IS FAKE. ONLY THE BABY ROCK, AND UGLY GRASS/OWL ARE THE FAKE POKEMON.

To avoid any confusion.

>Zorua’s Illusion ability transforms you into the second Pokemon you're holding but even if it looks like another Pokemon it says "What will Zorua do?" Illusion's effect is that when Zorua is hit by an attack that causes damage, even if it is weak, Illusion breaks. While you're disguised, you don’t even become the transformed Pokemon's type nor can you use its moves.

Having it say "What would Zorua do?" wouldn't change anything, since it's only seen on your side. Everything else sounds like shit though.

If it's just Zorua's though, maybe Zoroark's is better?

>>2255
It's the mindgaming aspect that makes Illusion so valuable. Example: You send out Zorua, but your opponent sees Croagunk. Thinking you've got a 4x weakness and they have an easy kill, they Psychic you. Surprise! It does nothing and you just got a free turn.

But then people would wonder "Why is he actually using a Croagunk?" and immediately catch on. It also tells them that you actually DO have a Croagunk on your team, giving them a chance to prepare for it.

>>2255
Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

>>2234

What's with you and Labyrinths anyways?

>>2257

What happens when someone throws a status effect at you? I love throwing around status effects, like Badly Poisoned and Burnt, in double battles. In tripple battles, wouldn't it be even worse?

It could completely destroy inexperienced players, but a more experienced player would be completely unphased by such a thing... unless they were choice scarfing.

Hehehe, scarfing~!

>>2260
Labyrinths are awesome!

The demo is hidden in the japanese nintendo channel

>>2266
Hmm...

>>2268
Wouldn't that be Gorebyss from Gen 3?

>>2269
Gorebyss? Dolphin? Psychic? :P
Anyways, we really need a Pokemon dolphin!

Just felt like I should post this. Also, I hate Yanappu.

>>2274 That is far more awesome than anything should be allowed to be...

so guys, hiun city is rather big, and it is safe to say it takes up a good amount of the isshu region. So i was thinking:
do you think that we may be able to catch pokemon in the city? (maybe in alley ways?)

>>2287
White Forest is the only place Ingame where you can catch Pokemon in residential areas.

But nothing's stopping them from doing it in more than one area :3

Best screen I could get of the badges in the case. They look really weird and arbitrary this time around.

What I mean is, other than the fourth badge (which is clearly a bolt of electricity), you couldn't really guess what the types are from the shape. Take Aloe's for example, it's just a straight line. What type could possibly be conveyed with it? No real way to find out without seeing it.

Just felt like some theory postan:

N isn't as antagonizing as we thought? Ferris Wheels seem like an odd battle ground.

Just a bigger version of >>2290.

N's ancestor? Hidden society of knights and kings?

>Zorua
Oh man, here we go...

Looks like Zorua/Zoroark are still in the games, but can only be acquired through events.

>>2298
none of those final evos make any sense.
>green snake with arms and legs
>green snake with hands and legs
>blue snake

>sad otter thing
>samurai otter thing
>horse

>other fire/fighting; that would make 3

>>2298
>Tsutajaa's
Good!

>Pokabu's
Eh, wasn't going to use him anyway. SO HELP ME IF IT'S FIRE/FIGHTING

>Mijumaru's
Ok, the coloring for his 2nd seems off, and the third... What?

I don't think these are real, if only for the coloring of Miju's 2nd, and the overall theme of Pokabu's line and Miju's third.

>>2300
To further argue my statement. I give you: Meatman. With guest appearance by Carlswan.

>>2301
If I get that swan I am naming him Carl.

>>2298
wotter and smugleafs 2nd evolution match the beta art that leaked..... but jesus christ wotters 3rd evolution do not know if want

also inb4 bacon is a fire/fighting type. AGAIN.

>>2304
this is the beta

>>2298
Two things, Smugleaf's evos are badass! Yay! And Pokabu's final evo looks like Magmortar, right?

Confirmed fake, or so serebii says.

>>2310
Thank God, they looked pretty stupid imo.

Jesus, really? The second forms look plausible, the final forms look like I drew them and colored them in Paint. Uhg. Do not want. =(

this isnt conclusive evidence of course, but just thought id post it since i have it.

>>2323
Kinda cool, but unsure.

>>2329
:O

>>2331
Do explain.

>>2298
There's no way in hell those are real, despite serebii's 'source'.

>>2335
Sugimori's description actually sounds enjoyable.

Oh internet, what won't you notice?

>>2336 >There's no way in hell those are real
The interview with Sugimori and the gang is making it sound even more convincing.
http://pokebeach.com/#pokemon-peer-interview-translations

I can't wait 'til the games come out so all of this stupid Wottergate stuff will be over.
hey man shut up that pun is awesome

>>2343
I think that's just an example. Pokebeach says you fight the leader that's good against your starter, IE rival battle style. However, i still think it's based on the questions you answer in the gym. Still though, TRIPLE LEADER GYM! Suck it Hoenn!

>>2344
Ok, first Whitney and N are letting the Haters Hate, now Falkner and Kon are being separated at birth. Even his VS sprite is similar!

>>2342
Seriously, if he is fucking fire/fighting...

Hey guys, what's going on in Isshu? Just flew in from Sinnoh, and boy, is my afro crazy!

im pretty sure the evos are real now but this picture does bring up questions

>>2368
But that makes two games in a row with Stupid fire type starters! I mean seriously, do they just have no creativity when it comes to fire types?
I don't want to believe that those are the real evolutions yet.

>>2373
Aww, it's so cute!

>>2376
I call bullshit.

>>2376
>>2378
you should probably check to make sure it isnt fake and THEN post about it...

>>2376
Where?

We finally got ourselves a polar bear. No, I don't know why they gave it a penis.

>>2355
Oh my god I am so fucking psyched about Samuel L. bull. And I am bothered that everyone claims all the evo's are fake. We know for sure the second evos are real, but the third water/fire/grass evos are most definitely fake.

>>2389
What the hell... T@uros now shows up as bull. What a fail word filter. :(

>>2390
I think it's just fine...

>>2391
Agreed
;)
Welcome back, T@uros.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Something sort of bothers me.

Black version has Iris as its eighth Gym Leader while White has an old man named Shaga (Pokebeach.com)

The thing that bothers me is that it says White version has Shaga, but the outline of the booklet is similar to the cover of Black Version, and vice-versa. I don't doubt it but it just seems odd. It's probably just more switcheroo stuff.

Here it is folks, GenV.

>>2400
Gen V is AWESOME!

>>2400

Gen IV sucks balls. Pokemon-wise at least.

But there are different aspects of the games. Like the plot, character, places etc. Maybe BW will give us some nice surprises after all.
