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. I can’t believe they made revelation dance unavailable until level 40. Plus no type TM’s for Oricorio. Probably the most disappointing pokemon this gen

  6. Emergency exit is such a double edged sword. I was about to faint a pokemon that would’ve won me the battle royale but then it kicked in.

  7. I think I’ll actually try completing the Poke’dex this time around.

    PS: Watched Moana again… and even better than the first time! SOOO GOOD! I suggest watching it if you can, one of the best films of 2016 and up there with Zootopia.

  16. Oh snap! Everything surrounding the Legendary event and whatnot it so great. I love that the adventure skimmed down to just you and Lillie doing your own thing rather than it being super crowded. Plus everything with Lusamine was great. I still don’t like her, but she’s still a great character. Now to go to the league and get my ass kicked………..OH!!!! By the way I ended up catching Solgaleo in a Heavy Ball!!!! I was super happy about that. I killed it the first try, but he second time after I soft reset I got it right where I needed it. I’m really glad I didn’t waste my Heavy Ball lol

  20. Anyone else avoiding completing the dex till pokebank arrives? 😛

    Question though: Couldn’t you just use QR scans to complete the dex as long as someone had made them all available?

  23. So I just finished the game. While I didn’t find most of it too challenging I have to admit the E4 were pretty tough.

    Especially Kukui

  25. The last day of a break from school is always extremely depressing. I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed playing 51 hours of Pokemon Sun over this break, and watching you all enjoy it as well. Here’s to hundreds more hours in the future, and the impending (2x longer!) Christmas break.

    • Especially when I’ve worked on homework for 5 hours today and have at least 2 more to do. I’ve worked on 11 hours of homework over break, and I’m not a slow worker at all (in fact I’m much faster than my classmates, I feel bad for them right now). I’m in HIGH SCHOOL, not college or anything! I mean, seriously, 13 hours of homework is insane!

      Rant over

      Also I’ve docked 73 hours of gameplay.

      • I spent a lot of time reflecting on myself this break (also known as doing basically nothing), which used up time that could have been used playing games. I find it more and more important nowadays to meditate, but I’m still learning how to balance that with everything else! One day I’ll have it down.

        • Sounds peaceful. This has been such a hectic day for me lol.
          Pushing the rest of my homework off to go to a movie last night wasn’t such a good idea.

          Reply

          • I did my homework on Wednesday night because I was bored out of my mind, which is very uncharacteristic of me. Normally I’d wait until Sunday night as well.

    • Lol that’s the exact amount for me too. We are literally in the same position. This game is soooo fun I cant stop playing it (We’re both seniors right?)

      • That’s a little creepy actually. Yes, I’m a senior! I’m so done with high school. I’ve enjoyed it a lot, but I considered myself finished with the end of junior year. That was such a difficult time of my school career that everything else now seems alarmingly easy.

        • Im the exact in tht regard I guess. I really liked last year because all my classes were easy peasy, but now this year Im struggling to stay all A’s. The difficulty has definitely bumped up. My procrastination has all increased this year as well
