Pokemon White and Black

[TELIMS]

I recently have been playing Pokemon Black, and the game is amazing...however, when i looked up the pokemon in the game i was a little disappointing :/, the pokemon look like digimon almost, and some don't even make sense. I'm hoping that as i continue to play that maybe they will grow on me? I don't know, anyhoo, i just wanted to know what everyone's opinions are of the new pokemon in the fifth generation.

You've....been playing pokemon black?........
hasnt it not even released in japan yet?

[Casanova]

Released in Japan? It's been completed in Japan. There's videos all over YouTube of the final battle and shizz.

Not had a chance to play either of these yet and probably wont for a very long time. If I ever get back into the habbit of playing my DS then I'll get Soul Silver and that will pretty much be me and Pokemon done forever. Fucking loved Silver.

I'm actually fond of a decent-sized handful of them. My only qualm with past generations has been unnecessary and unattractive additions to previous pokemon. Didn't like Magby and Elekid and Smoochum back when G/S came out, and I don't like Magmortar or Electivire, either. However, as with fully original pokemon, I don't care too much because if I don't like it then it doesn't fuck up what I do like.

It'll be released in English next spring, however thanks to a couple amazing people there has been a somewhat decent english patch released on the web, that's all i will say on that.

I guess i just wish that they came out with more memorable pokemon like charzard and even muk, now they just come up with crazy ice cream pokemon and rocks with mustaches.

There are some that i do like though.

[Doaj]

I have to agree, that ice cream cone is fucking stupid. I don't remember a rock with a mustache, but I do know that Kricketune is made by his mustache. I might like it.

[TELIMS]

Which one are you currently playing man?

[Doaj]

Neither. I don't have them. I just looked at the sprites.

[TELIMS]

Don't you have soulsilver and leaf green?

[Doaj]

Oh. I thought you meant of Black and White. lol. I have Heartgold, Soulsilver, and Ruby. I had Leafgreen but I let Allie borrow it and she lost it. She gave me Ruby to pay me back. Mostly playing Ruby. Still the most fun of any Pokemon games, personally. Well, I prefer Sapphire, but Ruby is basically the same.

[TELIMS]

That game was memorable, i can't tell you how many times i started over just to get the feel of adventure.

I'm really enjoying black though, even if most of it is in Japanese.

Remember that japanese version of Sapphire we had? It was awesome to trade japanese pokemon over to our english games. Also, I'm playing Pokemon White right now, and it's pretty awesome. I chose the Fire-type starter, and I have the grass-type monkey, Yanappu. I'm in a patch of grass looking for the dream world pokemon, Murna (sp?) that evolves into Musharna. I have no idea who else will be on my team. I will eventually drop both my starter and the monkey though, because of their natures (both have a SP. Attack+ nature, which is inconvenient).

I love the ice cream cone ;-;
Also the rock with the mustache is probably Probopass from 4th gen.

I'm in postgame on Black now and some of the pokemon bother me. I think the three monkeys are dumb but I used them nevertheless.

Also I wanted to punch Kyurem in the face. I spent two hours trying to catch him last night, throwing every type of ball at him and having him struggle and kill himself like 10 times. I complained to my friend over Xbox Live that if I didn't catch him by 12:30 I'd give up. Then I caught him at 12:25 with the first ultra ball I threw at him............wtf.

[blexmer]

i got pokemon black and played the living crap out of it after i got it.
beat it in a week or two, and realized i had crapped out of the elite four cause i broke them.
Zoroark, at level 35 when i walked in, beat 3 of the elite four flawless.
cause it's ability illusion combined with my fighting type being in the back, made it convince the AI that it was a fighting type, and they kept trying to hit him with psychic attacks. as a dark type, it wasnt effected.

was almost sad. XD.

i caught a legendary with a net ball.

and i accepted the grass starter sucked. awfully.

then i heard about the nuzlocke challenge and my progress is being reported as i go.
XD

I found a shiny Patrat after about 30 minutes of active playing after I first started the game (3/9) and I had a mini heart attack. Then I caught him. Pretty cool. (not a fan of the shiny Watchog though...or just Watchog in general. piece of poop.)

Then I ran into a shiny Joltik last night. Nearly shit my pants. Threw a pokeball at his face as soon as I ran into him and caught him.

Holy fucking shit, batman.


Also, I discovered that Cryogonals have unbelievably shitty defense. Or at least mine does. Screw you, McFlurry. (Yes that is what I named it.)
