Mascot Pokémon Showdown: Generation V

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.

    • Not as depressing as Pokemon on Disney XD and Sun & Moon’s dorky animation. Seriously, I grew up with Pokemon for as long as I remember. Someone tell StarStorm and EarthenWarrior to stop trolling!

  1. Know what’s funny? Poison is a very slow type in most cases. In this gen, two of the fastest mons it it came from the poison type

  2. Well another day of breeding Abras in hopes of getting the last natures
    Adamant
    Impish
    Careful
    Bold

    Then painstakingly hunting blobs…
    Then when I FINALLY get them I’ll go hunt down the last three Tapu

    I got pretty damn lucky that my first Bulu was Impish
    Then I’ll find the EV lowering berries

    And when I’m aaaaallll done with all of this I need to find a 5-6iv Ditto, because the Legend of Zelda bug is really hitting my Skyward Sword nerve and only Competitive breeding will cure

  3. Okay so I know you guys are all playing SM right now (and I’m jealous), but this Saturday I’m FINALLY getting it too. My roster is ready, but I do need some help.
    1) If people trade me some mons, I’d need to breed them so they’re my OT. Do you get to the daycare soon enough to do this for 2 Pokemon?
    2) Is there anybody willing to trade me a Type: Null and a Drampa this Saturday/Sunday?

  4. By Gen 8, I expect the shows animation to be fixed and back on Cartoon Network. Plus, I would also like to see Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on Cartoon Network as well, (it is for those who could not afford Disney XD).

  6. I think it would be really satisfying if N made a cameo in Stars referencing the events of BW and commenting on how Alola has really opened his eyes on the potential relationships between Pokémon and humans.

    And then he’s also in the Battle Tree.

    Reply
    • And AZ is there and we get more info about the war and he is in the battle tree

      And zinnia and we get more of her back story and she’s in the battle tree..

      I can only dream….

      Reply
      • Zinnia would be cool. AZ… I would like to be brushed under a rug unless he received quality time and development to actually explain more about him and his history.

        Reply
      • Omg that would be cool
        But sadly it might be Empoleon

        I’m still bummed we didn’t get any legit heavyweights
        Hariyama, Snorlax, Rhyperior, Golurk, Golem, Aggron

        But some I wanted to see Simisage and oddly Braviary

          • I know it just came to me one day
            Technique
            Lots of aerial combat with a lot of maneuverability

            And it’s Burst Attack would be grabbing the opponent in his talons and flying them into the eye of a raging tempest and sky bombing them down with the power of its own slipstream

      • Same boat. The only real fighter game my friends ever play is Mortal Kombat. :p Otherwise I’d love to get into Pokken. I tried to get into Tatsunoko vs Capcom for the Wii but it was dull without friends.

        Reply
          • I’m a Smash Bros guy haha But that’s a party fighter. I just wanna play a real fighter that has fun, maybe some cartoony characters. But nope over-the-top, edgy MK is what my friends eat up.

          • Don’t you DARE say Smash Bros. is a party fighter
            That kinda talk WILL get you knifed

            People Smash so hard would wouldn’t believe it, follow every character buff and nerf and so on

          • Haha no, I’m more than aware of the competitive scene. But by it’s very nature the controls and style of play are vast, vastly different than any other competitive fighter. I label Smash and clones party fighters. Not to insinuate that there isn’t a competitive side. But because I like to label things into genres and I refuse to put it under the same label in my head as Tekken, MK, SC, etc.

  7. I’m so frustrated with Rockruff right now, I’ve done 3 different chains where I ran out of PP and leppa berries and it’s shiny still eludes me.

  8. “Libraries are the places in which time periods and realities converge”-random woman in the Canalave library. I know it’s just coincidential bias but I like how this lowkey fits with sun and moon (minus the library part lol)

  9. So I’ve noticed there’s always one geyser with bubbles in the melemele sea. It’s the one right near the cave that you can’t access without sharpedo. So you can fish it, and then break through those rocks right there, enter the cave, come back out and it should be bubbling again. Has worked for me everytime

  10. Time to WT two boxes of Abra (and to be an even bigger scumbag I took the liberty to take out the good natures so I can mass breed and sell)

    Reply
  11. So, what Pokémon do you guys think has-been the most most popular for in game teams this Gen, sans starters?

    I’d say Salazzle, bitch is everywhere (and I love it)

    Reply
  12. Speaking of Salandit I just got 3 in a row off WT
    Which is fine because I’ll need only for competitive if and when I get a 6iv ditto
