Not any major news, just thought I’d share the TV commericials for those who haven’t seen them. 🙂 Well I guess you could say they confirm a few English names but it doesn’t really matter since we have a complete list and released all the English names like almost a month ago…

And also, thanks to a tip from ElectroZekrom, we’ve found out that GameInformer gave Pokemon BW a 8.75/10. Opinions? Too low? Too High? Discusssss :3
Peace — ozymandis
P.S. Anybody else cringe whenever the announcer said “Unova”? -__-;
FIRST
First! lol cool
Sorry dude, First was first. ;D
*cry*
And yes. You niva? I thought it was you know va. W/e
I like the slogan “Start from a new beginning”. Clever, very clever.
Though these commercials make me wish it was March already..
And I find it odd Gameinformer gave it a 8.5 but Faimitsu gave it a perfect score of 40. I know Japan goes crazier for pokemon and all, but what did Game Informer give Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time? I dunno if they where around back then or not.
GameInformer actually is somewhat known for giving Nintendo games lower reviews than most other sites do, however this rating of 8.75 is the highest for any Pokemon game. I don’t believe they’ve ever reviewed OoT.
If i remember correctly HGSS got a 9/10
Nope- 8.5 out of 10, just like Platinum.
THAT’S TOTAL CRAP!!! THEY SHOULD ALL BE 10’S!!!!!!
GameInformer is well known for giving low reviews to Nintendo games, or any game that has an E rating, why, they like violent video games, which explains why every game that has a review over 9/10 is almost ALWAYS M rated…..
I think the score should be 10/10! POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE FOREVER WOOT!
Lol wtf, YOU NEH VAH…it sounds so awkward, I hope that’s not how they pronounce it in the anime.
I prefer YOU KNOW VAH
OZY! Get your to/too/two’s right! It’s Too low and Too high, not to low and to high. 😛
ahaha shawd upppp. 😛
Huh, so that’s how Unova is pronounced….I’ve been pronouncing it: oo-no-vah.
In a couple of weeks I’ll get use to it, like with everything else. :9
I actually prefer Unova to Isshu, just think it sounds a lot cooler
havent played the Japanese games yet so I cant comment on the 8.75 score. But if it was universally praised across the board in Japan (especially the high accolades of a perfect Famitsu score) That suggests it should at least get a 9
March 10 cant come soon enough!
PS australian people if you preorder from EB games you get a free case with the 3 starters on the cover, 3 stylus’ with each strater and Black and white game cases
and if you preorder from JBHIFI you get a free case with Reshiram/Zekrom on the cover 😀
Please tell me that bonus is in NZ too.
awesome thankyou! nice to get some info for aus. although i hardly ever venture into EB games simply because you always get the feeling you’re getting ripped off, no matter how many “SALE” posters they plaster everywhere. but JB is cool 🙂
question: when you preorder do you have to go pick it up or does it all get delivered?
@Pokelova No Idea if its for NZ buddy. Maybe pop into the store and have a look, both stores near me are plastered with posters
@Gerudo: I work in town right next to an EB and a JBHIFI so ive never had to ask about delivery. I know JB does but not sure about EB.
Normally I would agree with you about never shopping at EB but its only $9 more expensive than JB and you get all the extra preorder bonuses where from JB you just get the case. Check it out
EB: http://www.ebgames.com.au/ds-151007-Pokemon-Black-Version-Nintendo-DS
JBHIFI: http://www.jbhifi.com.au/games/pokemon-black-and-white/
Those prices are just OVER the top… Over here $35 for both no matter what Bonus they give…
Australia is notoroius for shocking prices. You struggle to find a pint of beer for less than $11 now. Its ludicrous
Beer prices, prices of things in general and the heat are the main reason im moving to the UK in April
Like: Tagline
Dislike: Pronunciation of Unova and low rating
I’m using my DSi, so I can’t view the commercials right now. Just out of curiosity, what names were confirmed by the commercial. Because Bulba-“They-could-be-nicknames”-pedia won’t accept the list as fact already, and it’s driving me insane.
Bulbapedia believes the list is still fake, and will not believe it until the games are out, which will be the proof that the list is real, Serebii has recently started accepting the list, I’m not sure about other fansites though…..
I’m curious as to why they believe they’re still fake. Nintendo Power’s latest issue has Cofagrigus in it and it’s clearly labeled as Cofagrigus.
More of less, the reason is due to Nintendo’s take on the leak. I’ve gotten notice not to post them from certain sources, so yeah.
No, they do not believe the list is fake. But they intend to be factual and accurate and that means they need actual evidence, like official confirmation. They’re an encyclopedia, not Serebii.
It’s pronounced You-no-va like I thought. The announcer says the nova part really fast though also like it was a glitch or something. Anyways I hope gamestops in America give out a pre-order bonus as I pre-ordered my copy since December.
Gamestop is usually cheap with the pre-order stuff. I have learned that by experience but it dosent happen all the time haha. These Reshiram and Zekrom Wall-Clings have been surfacing as pre-order incentives buuut, like many other places, Gamestop sometimes lacks giving out the correct info to the people who are curious…I have nothing against them tho. 🙂
Once again, I post a comment TOTALLY off subject! This is actually a question for the people who run pokejungle, if my pokemon animae series, pokemon reborn, gats me banned on youtube, can you guys post it here? or tell me how to send it to the offical pokemon people?
P.S. If you punks steal my idea I will find a way to proof it was MY idea!!! and then sue who took it!!!!
P.P.S My “P.S” was not a threat, but a warning.
You have your own Pokemon Anime series? How did that happen? haha
About Game Informer, they gave Paper Mario TTYD a 6.75 out of 10.
So feel free to take their reviews with a grain of salt.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA, They gave TTYD a 6.75? Someone should’ve been fired for that.
As Gannon would say: YOU DARE RATE PAPER MARIO 6.75!? YOU MUST DIE!!!!!!
You spelled “Gannon” wrong haha It’s Ganon 🙂 I’m a bit of a Zelda-freak outside of Pokemon stuff haha
The score is pretty high considering game freak has been copy pasting the same game into different maps and settings for about 4 generations now…
I’d rather have something darker, more plot based, that implememts multiple regions we already know where some elements of the plot reference past happenings kinda like kanto in Gold/Silver
Stil gonna buy it, i just think they should innovate some more
THIS.
The problem is, if they innovate too much, it isn’t Pokémon anymore. Then they have to call it Darkamon. :p
GF did a better job than last generations, though. At least it has decent(maybe even amazing) music and graphics.
I’m still content just playing basically the same plot repeatedly if that plot comes with a good looking region and most importantly good pokemon. I really don’t think they should focus more on the plot because I think the prospect of battling magical creatures against each other is good enough on its own.
A Pokemon Continental Version or something would be nice. A game that takes you to several different Pokemon Regions we already know and stuff and the games plot is determined by the players choices…Like if you choose Johto as your starting Region, a different course of events will occur rather than someone starting in Sinnoh. idk just a fun thought 🙂 🙂
YOU-ni-va?
you-NO-va.
Innovate.. Dude, that is what this generation’s all about… INNOVAtion! At least it sounds with Unova.
There are only two things I got from that:
1) “Start from a new beginning” (you know what they say, repitition is a great teacher)
And 2) I’ve been pronouncing Unova right this whole time!!!!
🙁 I always say unOOOOOva. -_-
Say what you like
Do what you feel
You know exactly who you are!
don’t really like how he pronounces “Unova”, but at least he didn’ say “Unn-ova”
It’s you-nova! 🙁
I think the name is supposed to sound like if you say Unova as you would when saying the section from which it’s taken in [Un]ited States [of A]merica, pretty cool.
and of sounds like… oh! I get it know… also, I said that the trailer was posted last night and got no credit! hmph!
What the hell? It should be “You-no-va”, not “You-ne-va”.
I am disappoint.
I pronounce it “OOO-NO-VA”
Do you also say OOO-nited States of America?
Hahaha, no, but that’s pretty darn funny!!!!!
YOU-NIH-VAH!!!! XD
Actually, if you play it over a little bit it sounds like he’s saying You-no-va, just kind of fast. They probably need to fit that commercial into 30 seconds.
I actually like the way they pronounced Unova for the same reason why I liked Isshu, it lets it escape the trend of using the “o” sound like the previous generations to further demonstrate how the game is meant to give the same fresh feeling as when people played Red & Blue for the first time. Though I’m sure that one person will say you-No-vah in the anime.
