Pokemon Black and White
« on: February 17, 2011, 05:57:52 pm »
Didn't see a thread up and only recently realized that the newest pokemon game is coming out in less than a month (for America at least). Thoughts? Comments?

Personally not sure which version I'm going to go with yet. Starter wise I think I'm gonna do as I always do and get the water type as none of them seem to stand out for me.

I'm not going to play another pokemon game, I'm not going to play another pokemon game, I'm not going to play another pokemon game, I'm not.... ah hell, ONE more game wouldn't do too much harm, right?


Bunch of kids in my Tech class are excited, but I'm a bit more iffy on the issue

It's just going to be the same game and plot again, with minor differences and additions. It won't be worth full retail price by any means, IMO.

What!?! are you saying that Black and White is just a limited rehash of everything we already seen many times before except with even WORSE looking pokemon?

I hope the international version will not replace the gamecorner's fortune wheels with some crappy minigame.

I'll end up resisting until I see it price-reduced, at which point I'll buy it and waste 30+ hours of my life.

It has gotten stunning reviews though (although, I guess, Pokemon games usually do). I do appreciate the "Pokemon - IN AMERICA" gimmick, and from what I've read, the plot is actually interesting this time, so if the localization is good...eh, we'll see. Some of those new Pokes sure are ugly though.

Also, they remixed the annoying Low Health Beep.

I got hit with the nostalgia stick a while back while reading TVTropes, and found an emulator and ROMs of the older games. I then proceeded to get a DS emulator and a ROM of Black (with an English fan-translation included, apparently), I believe it was. I didn't play it for more than a few hours, though. It was kind of funny that it both looked and ran better on the emulator than the previous generation. The plot's every bit as nonsensical as it's always been, though.

I'm all for eating the heart of your enemies to gain their courage though.

Well the reasons I'm getting the new Pokemon is because 1) skipped the last one 2) haven't gotten a new game in awhile 3) lack of PS3 and 360 means I'm restricted to psp, DS, or Wii (never have been impressed with the Wiis games cept for Zelda) 4) I know some of my friends are getting it 5) I know Pokemon is always a good time waster.
