There's a lot of stuff

On an unrelated note involving censoship

Spoiler: Warning plot spoilerish (click to show/hide)

Oh Lol, apparently they censored Ghetis's dialogue in the scene where he tries to kill you via icicle impalation into having him say he'll freeze you so you can watch his ascent. The animation for the ring of icicles are still there though

So how is the challenge mode vanilla? I've heard conflicting stories.
I might get the despite the fact that I can't get challenge mode without beating the elite four or Beating E4 then erasing save data.
When the fuck is Gamefreak going to put in multiple save files, JEEZ.
I've cooked up a few eggs for the new version and scrambled them up in a box. I will choose one to use in BW2.

I went with Oshwatt :/

My provisional early team after beating Cheren includes Riolu, Oshwatt, Pidove, and Magby.

Cheren was pretty easy as Riolu killed his starter with a single Counter and then Oshwatt sprayed water at his high level until it fainted.  (Nice to grab a fighting type so early, they're one of my favorite types.  I even fondly recall a primeape from red.)

Its sad how my fifth generation experience is always mired by embarrassing failures

This time around it was have my entire team of lvl 12-13 pokemon getting owned by a trainers lvl 11 Dunsparce

I guess it wasn't as bad as the time when I just started, beat my rival and then proceeded to get completely thumped by the first wild pokemon I found >_<

Edit: How embarrassing I misspelt the pokemon's name!

[neotemplar]

On a good note the TM Cheren gives you is actually somewhat useful early on.  Especially given how craptastic stat debuffs are compared to stat buffs in trainer battles.

Some more stuff about the new mystery dungeon game has been released.

Stuff
  - Kyurem, Lugia, and Ho-Oh play a big role in the plot
  -New town is called Pokemon Paradise
  -Victini runs this roulette board thingy that has something to do with getting higher ranked mons?, Scraggy is in charge of moveset things, Azurill runs the notice board, Quagsire is in charge of your friend pokemon and apparently keeps you informed of their friendship levels with you, Beartic is in charge of this one minigame
  -Pansage helps you build up the town and add more stores run by various pokemon
  -There's an Everyone Attack mode where you collect heart lasers from all your mons and can use them to various effects depending on your party leaders species
  -There are team skills

On the other hand, how many still have the fat DS that won't be able to take advantage of all those glorious wi-fi functions?

* Sirus raises his hand

So I'll pass for now.

I have a DSI and I don't have access to Wi-Fi anywhere near my home. It isn't really necessary unless you want dreamworld pokes.
I just got Black 2 today, I'm having a blast. This is the most f-fun I've had playing a Pokemon game in a while.  I went to the ranch place(Loceey or Lossy) and the first Pokemon I encountered was a Rioulu. Took all ten of the starting pokeballs to catch it, same applies to Magby.
I just beat the second Gym and my Team Consits of:
Grom the Riolu(Male)
Aleph the Psyduck(Female)
Cook-Cook the Magby.(Male)
I boxed my starter (Snivy) as soon as I caught Riolu . I never liked grass types, and I've raised way too many Oshawots and Tepigs.

Apparently in the new mystery dungeons your moves will level up and become stronger the more you use them.

[Bluerobin]

Hmm... somehow I completely missed the release of Black 2 and White 2, but it looks like I have a $10 Amazon gift code White 2 is ordered and will be here Wednesday.

*sigh* I already have too many games to play and two of them are MMOs that soak up as much time as I throw at them.

Mitebcool, Assuming they have a move evolution system that makes sense. Ember into Flamethrower, stuff like that.
I'm kind of disappointing that they switched from sprites to(relatively crummy) 3D. Graphics don't make a game, but the whole underground spring scene would be a lot less powerful.

[Furtuka]

Apprently its a progression from Thunder I to Thunder II to Thunder III ect

[UltraValican]

It will be interesting to see how that works out.

One thing I really want to see, but probably won't get is a "conversation system".
If your familiar with SMT/ Persona 1&2, you know you can converse with the monsters you fight. Depending on the outcome of these conversations you could miss a turn get an item, or even get a new party member.
The whole hook of the "Mystery Dungeon Worlds" is the notion of "Pokemon that act like people". Its kinda lazy/strange that a sentient being can't communicate with me verbally. I want dark types that try to scam me/get me to pay for their allegiance, and Psychics that challenge me to a games of wit before risking all their hard earned poke working as an explorer.

The new mystery dungeon games will have DLC dungeons

I heard about that. The model seems to be "Free for a while" then you pay if you miss the promotional.

Beat B2, activated challenge mode on W2 from the beginning.  Not terribly challenging, and I even went with a full team of six instead of just using Genesect. 

Emboar - Magnezone - Sigilyph (N's) - Liligant - Krookodile - Azumaril
