Mascot Pokémon Showdown: Generation V

by

Hello everybody, we’re bringing you another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Giratina with 56%!
Now it’s time for Unova. Generation V released in 2010 in Japan and in 2011 in the rest of the world. This time, the generation consisted of four games: Black, White, Black 2 and White 2, and introduced amazing features, such as seasons, triple and rotation battles and the Pokémon World Tournament

Pokémon Black Version

black_en_boxartPokémon Black featured Reshiram, the Vast White Pokémon. It is a Dragon/Fire Pokémon that contains almost entirely out of fluff. By flaring the enormous engine-like tail, it can move the atmosphere of the world, which changes the weather.

Reshiram is the only Pokëmon known to be able to learn Fusion Flare and Blue Flare. Together with Zekrom, they were first shown on the Japanese and English website on the same date, which makes them the first two to be revealed worldwide simultaneously. Its name comes from ‘shiro‘ (白, ‘white’) and ‘re‘, which is just a softer sound than ‘ze‘.

Pokémon White Version

Pokémon White showcased Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon, white_en_boxarton its cover. He has a Dragon/Electric-typing with small black wings coming from its shoulders. Like Reshiram, Zekrom has an engine-like tail, but this one produces lightning bolts.

Zekrom has the highest Attack, Defense, and base stat total of all Electric Pokémon. It’s Ken Sugimori’s favorite Pokémon of Generation V. Its name is a combination of ‘kuro‘ (黒, ‘black’) and ‘ze‘, which is just a harder sound than ‘re‘.

Pokémon Black 2 Version

black_2_en_boxartOn the case of Pokémon Black 2 is Black Kyurem, a combination of Kyurem and Zekrom. It keeps Zekrom‘s arms, but is much more muscular than it. Its left arm, wing and lower jaw are completely covered in ice.

Black Kyurem has the highest Attack stat of all Ice Pokémon, and together with White Kyurem, it has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon. Despite being larger than before it fused, it’s actually lighter than Kyurem. Its name comes from ‘rei‘ (冷, ‘cold’),  ‘kyuurei‘ (急冷, ‘rapid cooling’) and ‘rei‘ (零, ‘zero’).

Pokémon White 2 Version

Unlike all other generations, this generation had 2 upgraded white_2_en_boxartversions instead of one. On the second version, Pokémon White 2, you can see White Kyurem on the cover. This is a fusion of Kyurem and Reshiram. Its right wing, head plume and upper jaw are frozen.

White Kyurem has the highest Special attack stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, and, as mentioned before, the highest base stat total of all of them. It’s also the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

  1. In your opinion which Tapu has the best design?

    For me its:

    1) Tapu Fini (looks like a dolphin!!!!!!)
    2) Tapu Lele (really cute!)
    3) Tapu Koko (cool looking, but not really unique)
    4) Tapu Bulu (nice name representation, horrible design)

  3. If you were an evil team leader:

    What would be your goal?
    Reason for this goal?
    Your team’s theme and name?
    Pokémon Team?: (label Mega or Z-Move mons)

  4. I’ve decided theres probably no point in searching anymore.
    See, if I’ve searched every spot over ten times, at both day and night.
    Then theres only 1 reasonable solution no matter how bizzare.
    Theres a Bug in the system somewhere.
    I’d hate to say that, but at this point, the problem honestly can’t be me who just isn’t looking right…
    With 2 left it’s a bit of a bummer.

  6. I’m at the Pokémon League and with the way things are going I might not be able to finish the game until after finals which are about two weeks from now. It’s gonna be really busy, trying to finish everything up. I just wanna listen to the Elite 4 Theme :'(

  8. Another question, because I’m bored and forced myself off my DS to do homework

    Vote a member for each of these*

    1) Most likely to damage a Tapu’s lair and blame it on Earthen:

    2) Most likely to die from a Yungoos

    3) Most likely to give up on Pokémon life and surround themselves with only cat Pokémon

    4) Most likely to commit type genocide

    5) Most likely to catch thirty hundred Rattata searching for the top percentage

    6) Most likely to be a Winder Trade troll

  9. One thing I don’t like about Sun and Moon. Capturing the legends didn’t seem like the right thing to do.

    Solgaleo / Lunala should have stayed with Lillie.

    The Tapus are Island Guardians, surely us catching them would plunge Alolan into chaos. I mean who selects the next Kahuna now we have the Island Tapus.

    • I dunno, Lillie made it pretty clear Nebby was better off with us,at least temporarily

      And you’ve missed a conversation about the Tapu down below :p

      Reply

      • Yeh she made it clear, but I don’t think it was the right call. In previous games us catching the legendary was usually to stop it being a threat or to prevent it from being exploited. In these games the threat has already been dealt with and capturing Nebby just seems tacked on. If we had to catch it before entering Ultra Space I’d probably be Ok with it.

        And the Tapu thing is still a mystery. Previous games never really gave their legendaries as much importance as these Tapus seem to have in Alola. So many characters reference them.

    • I mean… We captured god already. Haha That aspect of the game can’t be explained away. It’s best they don’t even bother with it.

      • Arceus was an event only Pokemon wasn’t it. And it wasn’t exactly knwon to everyone in Sinnoh unlike the Tapus seem to be to everyone in Alola. Arceus played no part in protecting Sinnoh, it just created everything and went into an eternal slumber so us catching it is fine

    • Don’t forget about that Zygarde cell you find there.
      Seriously frustrated me, I want to know more about Zygarde! They gave it new formes but no backstory or any reason why it’s in alola!

  18. Ok guys. Chill. Brionne is the best form of any starter 2nd only to Charizard X. Doesn’t matter how you feel. This is the objective reality.

  20. Where do you get the Diancite in Sun and Moon? It’s not a BP item (Thank Tapu!) so where do you get it? Is it something you get when you show a person your Diancie?

  24. Non Pokémon question!

    1-People at school, what classes do you take (don’t say grades or how long you’ve had it or whatever, just what it is)

    2-People not at school, what jobs have you had? (rough description, nothing that gives your IRL position away)
