My hopes for Pokemon Black and White version

[Wooderon]

It's been on the cards for a while with the introduction of those two new Pokemon, but now it's finally official, Pokemon White version and Pokemon Black Version. Other than the fact that Nintendo aren't waiting to release them for their new handheld and they are going to be DS titles there is nothing known about them as of yet.

I know a ton of people who are going to just turn their nose up at this announcement, but I am uncharacteristically optimistic about these new games. I'll admit that the games in the main series have been getting more and more outlandish as they have gone on. RSE (Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald) involved the Pokemon of the earth, the sea and the sky duking it out and Diamond and Pearl had time and space (not even including having a 'God' Pok'mon).

After what I felt has been a return to form with HeartGold and SoulSilver, I really hope that Nintendo stop trying to top themselves and instead of having the hero save the entire universe with few mutated woodland creatures. In my perfect world, Black and White versions will bring it back to the original format and tell a slightly less outlandish storyline, there was no abstract craziness in HeartGold and SoulSilver (taking into account this is a world where living fly traps can blast beams of sunlight from their innards) and that's why I enjoyed it.

Here is a vote for back to basics.

Wait, there seriously calling them Black & White now? That confirmed? Oh well, I'll probably get them anyways but I'm not holding out hope for much original. You don't look to Nintendo these days for originality after all.

More of the same, I could just play the older ones again and again for the same effect.

I'm hoping they go back to basics, I've managed to catch 421 on my Pearl game, but I don't use any legendarys, just feels like im cheating haha

If Black & White are good, I'll wait for Pokemon Grey. Or Gray, whichever they'll call it.

I think there seems to be a obsession for Game Freak to outdo themselves in terms of specticle of narrative (if you can all it a narrative), they seem to want to raise the stakes every generation.

I really hope they make more of a renewal than a sequel. Dunsparce really doesn't need an evolution...

There are going to be what, like 550 Pokemon after this.

I kinda hope they change up the battle system a bit, not that I don't like the current one but you know just for variation.

 

[Plurralbles]

So soon? Bleh. I dont' want yet anotehr pokemon game.

No no no, see... You're going to play as one of the God pokemon and you're going to gently raise and nurture little pokemon villages and, utilizing a giant legendary pokemon as your avatar, you will wage war against other Gods' avatars and raze their villages.


Oh wait...

Of course, now it all makes sense.

Why don't the just make a pokemon game with the current four regions in 3D for the Wii? Or does Nintendo just hate fans, money and succes? Why a fifth generation? Theere is literaly like no ground left to cover. They should try to explain the Mithology, since pokemon has more Gods that any Religion on Earth. I will probably buy it, but I'm still skeptical about it being good.

Simple, they will make a second God, the Pokemon God..... OF WAR, behold!!! Kratosmon:

XD

I want them to bring back bases. Not the undergrounds ones. The ones you could customize in Sapphire and its generation, they were great fun to customize. More pokathlon dome events could be fun. A more expansive safari zone experience preferably with 2 - 4 players playing at once. An elite four that ends after all 4 of them have been defeated "Oh you did good against those 4, glad you're done now aren't you, your pokemon are knackered, Ah well go battle the champion now" Its called the Elite Four so why is there five trainers you have to battle in a row!

Thats awesome but it would be too overpowered and no pokemon would be left behind to crawl to a pokemon centre . Also I name my Pokemon after the gods of Olympus so they'd be especially screwed.

Why don't the just make a pokemon game with the current four regions in 3D for the Wii?

That's what I've been wanting since RSE! Don't even care about the 3D Wii part. One of the thing I loved best about the original Gold and Silver was that you could go back to the world you explored in the original game. So (not that this will happen cause they've already relesed pictures of new pokemon) just keep the 450 odd there already are and let the player pick the starting region (and therefore their Professor and selection of starters) and go on a journey through all 4 regions!

 

[Marsell]

god not more pokemon
how bout a story where you just go from regien to regien collecting them all in one game (b&w)
or just not make more pokemon to the list
(unless it a new mew, celibi, or Jirachi type.)

 

[Vianyte]

Black and White seem a little bland after all the shiny gems.

Hopefully these new games will be fresher than the previous generation. When will Nintendo listen to its fanbase and make a Pokemon MMO?

I was elated at the release of Heart Gold and Soul Silver. They somehow managed to remove the deceased toe tag off of the franchise for me after the atrocities of R/S/E and D/P/P.

But after seeing the cover art being a Pokemon that looks suspiciously like sonic the hedghog in Wolf-hog format kills the buz for me entirely and instantaneously.

If they do go back to their old ways, I guess I will have to wait for the Gold silver remake remakes in 2020 to re-kindle the franchise for me once again...
