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.

  8. Z-Parting Shot and Z-Memento are now banned from Battle Spot.

    No, no it’s not overpowered. There’s a glitch where one or both players will disconnect when either move is used.

  9. How slow can I be? I just realised that Ash in the new anime, is wearing the same clothes as the main protagonist from Sun and Moon

  10. Anyone else think that Ryuki is going to show up in the next Gen as a Gym Leader (or counterpart), Elite Four or Champion (plz no we already have two Dragon champs)

    Like he just feels so randomly inserted I feel like he could be foreshadowing for the next Gen like the Strange Souvenir

    • Well good thing I got over Premier Balls. They used to be my favorites in Gen 4-5, replaced by Dusk in Gen 6 and Timer in Gen 7.

      Ironically, XY is when we could buy them directly and we had boatloads of disposable income…

      Also, oh yeah, you should totally get into marketing!

  18. Morning jerkholes
    So the whole Wondertrade scene is totally being flooded with Abras, all morning I must’ve gotten at least 7 Abras all with reject natures

    Speaking of Wondertrading, have any of you (and honestly answer) have any of you been hesitant to trade near perfect leftovers on WT?

  20. I have a theory why Pom Pom Oricorio lost half of its feathers;

    One day it was a regular yellow feathered bird flying in the air. Suddenly a large Thunder hit it1 Half of its body dissipated into naked land,a nd its wings puffed up. Oricorio fell to its doom and died.

      • Boring
        The whole triple starter thing is just way overplayed at this point and not to mention just plain overpowered
        Alakazam boring,
        Lycanroc though popular to me is a little too popular since everyone had one at one point
        And a Zygarde is just…who runs legends on a main story team it just really ruins the flow

        Reply

    • Eh….seems a bit bland if you ask me, i mean the starters are great, but Lycanroc is the most boring Gen 7 Pokemon, Alakazam isn’t even Gen 7, and 50% Zygarde’s not that good anymore. But I respect your opinion so whatever you like I approve.

    • Well if this is your playthrough team there will be some resetting involved so you’ll get a female starter… then you breed that and trade it for the remaining 2. Also you’ll need to defeat the first trial and first grand trial with 2 Pokemon so you’ll probably have to get subs. Finally, it’ll be a while before you can assemble even 10% zigs…

  24. This poor Dragonite….it tried to use Thunder twice on me, but my pampered Primarina kept on dodging it XD it killed Dragonite without letting it touch it.

  25. Is it just me but does EVERYONE use Toucannon on their team? I honestly never put it on my team and really focused on unique options like Araquanid, Salazzle.
