  1. Ok, these are just some ideas and in no way serious theory stuff but here’s the thing:

    -First of all it’s strange that UB-Beauty is version exclusive if UB-character match up thing is real deal since Lusamine seems to be an important character in both versions. This means either there’s no such thing, or these character match up doesn’t have an importance in the story or there’s another thing going on.

    -I personally think UB02 forms represent the concept of the versions, or specifically box legendaries in a subtle way. We have an aggressive looking, powerful, masculine, juggernautish UB on the one hand and elegant looking, mystical, feminine, sleekish UB on the other hand.

    -I thought that maybe Lusamine based her appearance on UB02. There was an ingame text that says how beautiful Lusamine looks or something like that and UB02 form is named beauty. Maybe she’s fascinated with it and tried to look like it. It’s just another perspective.

  2. Comment question: If you could use Bond Phenomenon with any Pokemon, what would it be? And if you hate Bond Phenomenon, you don’t have to answer.

  3. So anyone know when we’ll be getting that anime news? I imagine it’s a teaser trailer for the Sun and Moon anime, but I don’t know what time episodes air in Japan. lol

          • I honestly wouldn’t be too surprised, I would say I don’t see them doing just a video on it’s evolutions but they did a 40 second video on the ultra beast so I wont hold my breath. Nintendo master of crushing expectations lol.

          • No, I haven’t actually, so fair point.

            Although GameFreak does some trolling things too. They once sent Junichi Masuda, Shigeru Ohmori and Shigeki Morimoto, three of the most important developers (Masuda has been director for all games from Crystal to XY, and producer for ORAS and SM, Ohmori is director for SM and was for ORAS as well, and Morimoto was director for the games before Crystal iirc) and all we found out was there’ll be more than ten new Pokemon.

  4. I think I want a B3/W3 now. I’m falling in love with the Unova region right now. I never really appreciated Castelia City, and SkyArrow Bridge, and the music…. dang these are good freaking games

    • Black and White and Black and White 2 are some of, if not the greatest games in the pantheon of Pokemon games. The story, gameplay, genius mechanics, and how it pulls everything together into a nice bundle of joys is just unprecedented! The pinnacle of Pokemon for the main games!

    • As much as I love Unova, I think they’ve wrapped it up really nicely. The only thing I ever really wanted to see was maybe the original dragon and also how the Shadow Triad had powers..

      Reply
    • Loved that Castelia City theme, and that Driftveil too. For some reason I hated Unova early back but now I think it’s one of the best regions we’ve got.

          • True true. But then you have the Pokemon made out of lifeless rotating gears which could’ve been cute if it didn’t look so damn industrial.
            And then oshowatt somehow turned into samurott *shutter*

          • What are you talking about? Stunfisk is the most quality designed pokemon ever created on god’s green earth. Every inch of the creature is dripping with creative levels only measurable to Leonardo f*cking deVenci only he died and became an immortal super being who rips the roofs off of houses and teaches families how to paint. Stunfisk represents everything humanity has achieved. World changing technology, fighting plagues, building massive cities, leaving our own planet, it is the sum of what is possible pushed into the loving eyes of a pokemon. Stunfisk is Gamefreak’s gift to the entire planet. And it is about damn time that we appreciate it.

          • I kinda find Stunfisk a rather tough Pokemon to deal with in battle, especially since it has the Static ability. If my opponent sends out a Pokemon that has an ability that could affect mine on contact, I would usually fight with the utmost of care.

          • Hey, you plank! I thought the designs for the Pokemon looked cool. I was only discouraged form getting the Gen 5 games at first because the original Unova Dex had no Pokemon from other regions and there were no cross-gen evolutions. But as time passed by, I began to realize that I can get all the Pokemon that I want through the Internet. Whenever I think about a new Pokemon generation, I would only care about new mechanics in catching Pokemon, who I would fight to enter the Pokemon League, and battling other players.

  5. So I’m planning to do a Fire Red Run with Pokemon I’ve never used before, so far this is the team I’m visualizing:
    Venasaur
    Ratticate/Sandslash
    Fearow
    Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee
    Dragonite

    Any suggestions of rarely used Kanto Pokemon I should use?

  6. When you realize if Black and White 3 come out then Cedric Juniper will have probably already died, Bianca will probably replace Juniper, Benga could possibly be the Champion, and Cheren will have never gotten the rematch he so badly wanted with Hilbert… ;C
    Ughhhhh all this reminiscing about Black and White/Black and White 2 makes me want to cry… such good games!!!

    Reply
    • This is the mark of a great game. Wondering about the character’s futures after the game. You dont do that for any other pokemon game really.

      I want Hilbert and Hilda to return though

      • Best moments for me in Black and White:
        – The piano theme that accompanied the moment where Bianca’s Dad comes to get her and Elesa intervenes and Bianca begins to cry
        – Route 8, near Tubeline Bridge when you defeat Bianca for the final time and she realizes Pokemon battling is not her thing and although she tries to hide her tears, you can tell how depressed she was
        – Route 10 and Victory Road when you defeat Cheren and after having worked so hard for so long, realizes he’s just not that strong and wonders what went wrong
        – N’s Castle rises out of the ashes of the League and Alder pleas to N as Team Plasma corner the very bedrock of the region
        – Zekrom/Reshiram cutscene and N’s resolve after you defeat him
        – Ghetsis showing his true colors and throws N under the bus and battles you which was a surprise for me back then
        – Alder’s talk about the death of his Pokemon and how it affected him so much to the point where he doubts his Champion title and mocks himself for being so weak
        – Ghetsis’ and Team Plasma’s first appearance in Accumula Town and his speech that followed and the crowd’s reaction which starts a chain reaction in the region
        – Last but not least… EVERYTHING

      • Oh my god, I would have loved Pokemon Black & White even better if they had Hilda interacting with Ash and even flirting with him for a bit in the anime. She even could’ve had a girly, yet tomboyish and cheerful personality. She could have been voiced by Anna Hachimine in the original Japanese version. It would have also been exiting if has had like at least ten Pokemon in rotation and each of them had nicknames, such as an Oshawott (her starter pokemon) nicknamed Tricky. I don’t mean to sound wierd, but I always found Hilda the most attractive of all the girls in the Pokemon franchises. In the anime, she would have also been know for swimsuit modeling.

        Reply
        • Yeeeeah I don’t see that last thing.
          I may be projecting a bit, but I’ve always has a head canon that Hilda was a lesbian and had a thing for Bianca. I feel like Bianca got so much development from the player that there was kind of a relationship there. More than likely though, they are just friends. Which is probably better character wise. idk

          Reply
          • Actually, if Bianca were to meet Hilda after not seeing each other in the anime, I would imagine the usual anime schoolgirl friend reaction with a few excited shrieks.

          • I was thinking more of the lines like this (with Hilda voiced by Cherami Leigh in the english dub):

            Hilda: No way! Bianca!?
            Bianca: Hilda?! It that YOU?!
            *both shreik excitedly*
            Bianca: My goodness it’s been ages! Did you grow out your hair?!

    • Maybe not. Consider this: BW3 are prequels, in which you take the place of one of the two brothers with the original dragon? I’ve always wanted that game.

  7. EarthenWarrior, hey, I’ve noticed you haven’t done any PJL battles yet. If you could, make a forums account and start organizing battles there, okay? 🙂

  8. What if “Ultra Beasts” were another IP that GameFreak’s working on and this is how they’re introducing it? An Ultra Beast and Pokemon crossover

  9. So I was rewatching the E3 footage, and something caught my eye. Your mother says “Travelling is a true education.” What? Education? As in school education? Like the anime? Is it possible that the island trials are a school related thing? I’d hate that, but that seems like an awfully suspicious remake considering what we know. What do you think?

  10. So on the topic of games with beautiful music…Oblivion and Skyrim, every Zelda game ever, the Halo series, and Super Mario Galaxy are some of the most beautifully scored games and are my top favorites other than pokemon 🙂 Anyone have any other game scores they love to listen to?

  11. A comment for you
    For everyone talking about Ultra Beasts needing to be catchable because of moves, stats and etc
    Lemme dispell that argument in two words

  12. This about this. If GF is going the apocalypse route with the games, it is very possible that we would get to start over from the very beginning. Early PokèBalls, sketch dexes…
