Pahrak Reacts To Pokemon Black And White 2 News!

[Don't link to sites with forums! -Takuma Nuva]

 

Oh, and it was updated to mention a new trailer, which can be found here. It's in Japanese, of course, but it gives you a much better view of how much of Isshu/Unova has been covered by the glacier.

Anywho, my thoughts on the article are below.

 

-Take that, Zekrom and Reshiram! You thought you were so cool having two signature moves while Kyurem had one. Well now Kyurem has three signature moves! MWAHAHA…although now I’m beginning to think its type doesn’t change when it changes form. I so wanted Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire…well, he can still learn more Electric or Fire moves, right? …Right?

-Set two years after Black and White…I now fully expect to see Black, White, or N as a final boss like Red was in the Johto games. Do not disappoint me.

-There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Kyurem is directly responsible for this glacier spreading across Isshu/Unova, right? I mean come on, the English name for its signature move is “Glaciate.” The Japanese one is “Frozen World.”

-300 Pokémon can be caught? Please, PLEASE let none of these Pokémon be new! Pokémon, I love you, but you’re seriously running out of good ideas. Generation V Pokémon are at least 80-90% fail, excluding awesome exceptions like Gigalith. Wait…I WILL be able to catch a Gigalith again, right? And what about Scrafty? (It looks ridiculous as heck, but it’s a powerhouse!) And the starters are the same, right? Because I already planned out a team…

-Hm, new player characters…or are they in fact Black and White but two years older?! :o Of course, that would ruin my hopes for them being the final boss…meh, whatever. I’m not exactly impressed with their appearances, but I’m not too broken up about them. Oh, and apparently the girl looks like Sailor Moon? That’s what everyone is saying, but I know nothing about Sailor Moon.

-Rival…wait…will we be able to name our rival again?!?! Because not being able to name a rival was one of my biggest disappointments in White!! If we can name our rival again…! I need to start thinking of a name right away!

-New Gym Leaders? Will any of the old ones be returning? And what about the Elite Four and Champion? The Pokemon League is frozen! Anyway, I have nothing to say about Shizui the Surfer, but Homika…do we really need another Poison gym? There are so few of them for a reason: Poison is the most worthless Pokémon type. That’s why it’s the only type without a legendary. (Of course, I’m not bashing ALL Poison types. Nidoking and Venusaur are cool with me.) Also, she reminds me of a character from…a different video game series. One that I would be surprised to find someone at the Pokémon Company liking…

-…Um…Professor Akuroma? Why do you have an Articuno feather glued to your head? I know Pokémon characters have weird hair, but you’ve got Yu-Gi-Oh-level weird hair…

-You start in a city this time? Guess it makes sense—Isshu/Unova is based on New York after all. And thank God we finally have a Pokémon Center in the hometown! It’s SO frustrating when you beat the Elite Four, get sent back home, and then have to hike up to the next town, dealing with pitifully weak Pokémon or wasting Repels, just so that you can get the Pokémon you taught to Fly out of your PC!

-Wait a minute…they still haven’t told us who the villains are! Well, I suppose Ghetsis is still alive, free, and evil, so maybe he’ll bring back Team Plasma…and then maybe N will bust in with his Tao Dragon and team up with you and Kyurem in a Double Battle… *imagining the awesomeness*

-I’d also like to know what happened to Cheren and Bianca…if Cynthia will make another return in this game…if we’ll get to fight Morimoto again, or maybe some other developer who inserted his/herself into the game…you know, things like that. Ooh, and will Keldeo be distributed at the time of release like Victini was with Black and White? Because I was having trouble picking a good Water type, and getting a Keldeo would solve that problem.

-Wait…it looks like you can’t get to the P2 Laboratory…how are you supposed to get the cassettes for Genesect? I mean he hasn’t been officially revealed yet, so when they do distribute him, it’ll probably be for Black and White 2. Why would you distribute a Pokémon to a game where the location of his special items can’t be accessed…? Meh, there’s probably another place you can get them now. Or maybe they expect you to trade Genesect back to Black and White, get the cassettes, and then trade him back…

Given the fact that there's 156 Unovan Pokemon, and 300 in the new Dex, I'd say that most, if not all of the Pokemon added will be from the Kanto regions, especially given that they're making a big deal about all the old Pokemon you can catch now.

Probably for the same reason he looks like Albert Wesker. xD

I suspect that the ice will recede post-E4, making the east side of Unova available just like in Black and White. The E4 has probably moved, or is just accessible under the ice.

Seeing the ice recede would be kind of nice, but at the same time...that would reverse the major change to the region, which bugs me just a little bit...

Do you realise that Pokemon would NEVER make a Fire/Ice type?? It'll be cool but reeeeeeally weird. Observe...

 

Water deals 2x Damage to Fire, but only normal to Ice.

Steel deals 1/2 of Damage to Fire but 2x Damage to Ice.

Fire deals 1/2 of Damage against Fire but 2x Damage to Ice.

Ice deals 1/2 Damage to BOTH Fire and Ice.

 

That's all I'm willing to wrap my head around but think about it.

Wraith: Well, for the water one, it'd simply be 2X damage still; it's a similar case to Fire/Fight. ;)

 

Also, it'd have it's weaknesses. 2X to Fight, 4X to rock, 2X to ground... Grass types would be just plain dead, though, facing it. xD

I dunno, they've had weird type combinations before. I'm sure no one ever thought they'd make a Pokemon with no type weakness, but now we've got Sableye and Spiritomb.

Wraith: There is no 1.5x damage state. ;) Thee's 'It's not effective at all', two types of 'not very effective...', normal damage, and two types of 'Super Effective'. You'd think it'd be different, but it'd be just neutral, or 2X damage at the most(Maybe I recalled fire/fighting wrong at first. >>')...

 

I believe there's a dedicated way to figure that out via a Poketch app in D/P/Pt, though...
