Loads of new information to absorb over at Serebii! So the hero(ine) and the childhood friends get starters, which makes me wonder what kind of Pokémon N will have to "split humans and Pokémon." It's always funny when the reforming antagonists contradict themselves. Anyway, that DreamScape thing sounds awesome! Pokabu looked cute while sleeping like that (reminded me of my dogs when they were puppies), which further cements Koh choosing Pokabu as his starter.

Blahh, I don't like that they're resetting all the route numbers back. That also rules out the possibility of being able to adventure to Hoenn, which many people were hoping for.

I'm choosing Tsutaja ever since i heard it's cute cry. So they are resetting the route numbers back to 1?

According to Serebii, yes.

Gosh, I really hate these games and I haven't even played a demo.

I can't believe they're changing all the routes back to 1. I mean, it makes sense game-wise, but makes it a lot more complicated to talk about. "Wait, Kanto 1, or Isshu 1?" However, it still doesn't rule out Hoenn in my opinion, because they provided a reason for doing it.

The triple battles sound awesome, very awesome. And since we have three rivals now, well, see where this could lead? Might turn out very interesting...

I want to know more about Black City and White Forest now. How exactly are they different? And which one's in which version? What effect does it have on the story? I'm really curious now.

Triple battles sounds like something that has been in Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior for about 25 years now. I'd like to see a battle system similar to that of Digimon World for the Playstation, now that would be awesome.

There's this trailer from Pokémon Sunday July 18th (Japanese) on YouTube that shows the characters, version difference gameplay footage, and new Pokémon in action!

If you listen closely, you can hear some of the Rival Battle Theme, and it sounds epic .

OMG can't wait!!

Hm. The starter's cries are definitely shorter than Gen 4's. The rival battle music is okay, but after HG/SS's it sounds - underwhelming. The battles look awesome though. And the other trainers finally throw out the Pokemon instead of just dropping them. YAY! Overall, I dunno. It's so-so. So far, I still like HG/SS better.

More gameplay! Moar just Moar!

[Russ]

I hear Lance's theme in part of the trainer battle song. WIN. That's awesome. The animating sprites look awesome too. Not so keen on the wild battle music though.

[Christian]

i love the trainer music theme but you can obviously tell the music is not finished yet.

[Koh]

I finally saw them, and I'm lovin' the new stuff and music! Someone pointed out that you can hear a part of Super Mario Bros. swimming theme in the Rival Battle Theme.

[Christian]

Full Trainer music has been revealed!!!

Ignore the voices and listen to the music though! Junichi Masuda is just incredible!

[Russ]

It actually is pretty good. Nice. I like it.
