*headdesks*

Can they get any more unoriginal with the naming of pokemon/abilities/skills.. =/

[Mega]

Yes, just watch for the 6th generation.

I'm pretty sure I'll be renaming most of the new ones with their japanese names lmao...

[Hykari]

I hope so, because their Japanese counterparts are truly superior for this generation onward. No more "generic" names please. +_+

EARLY PURCHASERS OF POKÉMON BLACK VERSION AND WHITE VERSION TO BE REWARDED WITH VICTINI DISTRIBUTION

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are giving Pokémon™ fans yet another reason to get revved up for the March 6 launch of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video games for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. Consumers who purchase either of the new games between launch and April 10 will be able to receive a special Liberty Pass via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection (broadband Internet access required), which will enable them to catch the never-before-seen Mythical Pokémon Victini™.

Victini - the Victory Pokémon - is the first Pokémon that's Psychic- and Fire-type and cannot be obtained through normal game play. It is said that Victini creates an unlimited supply of energy, which it shares with others. This energy source may be the secret to how it brings about victories. Victini's unique and exclusive Victory Star ability not only increases its own accuracy in battle, but also boosts the accuracy of all a player's Pokémon in battle. Victini is a must-have in any Pokémon battle, and is especially useful in Triple Battles, which debut in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version include more than 150 never-before-seen Pokémon that players can catch, train and battle as they progress through the game. Both games are now available for pre-order from major retailers throughout the United States for a suggested retail price of $34.99 each. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details.

This one isn't in-store. It's over the internet via wifi.

[Mega]

lmao yeah i noticed that after i re-read it ._.;

[Hykari]

Shi-. I wanted to wait for the 3rd compilation version (more than likely Grey) first, so I could get all the legendaries in one go, but Victini is so tempting me now. I hope they do the same giveaway for when they release Pokemon Grey.

I made the same mistake last time rushing to get Pearl when I could've just waited for Platinum.

Went to the Tukwilla Mall in Washington to watch a movie and I did not know there was a Pokemon Black and White tour going on... so much Poke-Fans.... such huge lines... Sadly, I didn't participate.

[Harlequin]

Fuuro should've kept the same name, it's way more attractive than "Skyla" e_e

[Mega]

btw the 13th Pokemon movie (Zoroark: Master of Illusions) is about to come on cartoon network for the east coast just incase anyone still watches them~

[Veloze]

There aren't any puns in "Fuuro" that any English speaker will understand.

[Veloze]

More names.

Shell Blade -> Razor Shell
Grass Mixer -> Leaf Tornado
Nitro Charge -> Flame Charge
Dragon Spiral Tower -> Dragonspiral Tower
Incinerate is still Incinerate

The main characters, Black and White, are now Blair and Whitlea respectively.


Whitlea sounds an awful lot like Whitney.

[Janna]

Whitlea....? That is probably the crappiest change ever. I prefer Shell Blade too, since it's, you know... a blade. :| //in the anime at least
