Not really. They're actually shades. [/technicality]

Black may be, but white is a primary colour.

On another note, I'm interested in seeing some of the legendaries, considering they've already had the god of Pokemon, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I'm gonna get Black because I like black more than white. Although, I must admit, there are getting a lot of pokemon. It will be hard to get every single one but just not having any of the other ones in it would be a tiny bit too radical. I'm not sure which of those two things I'd prefer.

So, since it's on the DS, do you think there will be trading between Gen IV and V? Maybe something like there was in between Gen I and II, where you can trade and fight as long as you don't have any of the new Pokemon with you.

Seriously, I'm not interested in this game. Heart Gold and Soul Silver will most likely be my last ever Pokemon game. There's probably gonna be about 600 Pokemon total by the time this game is released and that's WAY too much for me.

This, 100%.

What I like most about the first two generations of Pokémon is that it was actually possible to "catch 'em all," and that most of the monsters were pretty cool-looking. With the last two generations, and most definitely the upcoming fifth, there are too many Pokémon, and a great deal of them look like a five-year-old's scribbling, and not living, breathing creatures. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel with the fourth generation, and I almost dread to see what they'll come up with next.

Seriously. Which of these is the most hardcore of the two?



vs.



Notice that big shift from II to III generation?

If Ruby and Sapphire was released first, you people would be saying the same about Red and Blue. Seriously, this is just a nostalgia thing. Same goes for the Zelda series. Some people just grow off the interest without really realizing it, which is what have happened to some with Pokemon. Personally, I think every single Pokemon is just as creative as the one next to it. I will agree that I find Lugia more awesome than Groudon, but it's not like I think it looks bad.

This 100%. Migokalle couldn't have said it any better.

Most likely. I mean, technically, you can trade Gen III Pokémon to Gen IV, even though you can't put any on Gen III, so there's gonna be something at least...

Anyways... It almost seems like it's about time Black and White came out, but... Well, maybe they were running out of precious metals/stones to use for names.

I won't be getting them. I only got HG and SS because they're remakes of the best games in the series (though HG/SS are better than them, even ), so that's it for Pokémon for me. Ya know, until they remake G/S/C again thirty years in the future.

If B/W implements new moves, then it would most likely be handled like trading a Gen I to a Gen II game.

My thoughts exactly. It's simply the fact that we've known the first and second generations longer and have had more time to grow to like them than the 3rd and 4th generations. Though I will say that if for some reason it is a whole generations of Bidoofs, I'll be taking a pass on this.

There was a lot at 151.

But way back when there was only 151, did anyone actually go and try to get all of them? Cuz I didn't. I didn't try to attempt that until Diamond/Pearl because I could trade through WiFi.

Same to this. I don't see what's so hard about catching all of them... >_>
Trading is made a lot easier through WiFi, plus there's the GTS. That's how you do it. That, and trading with friends, or importing Pokemon from GBA games.

604 is 4 times that and there's almost definitely going to be about 640 or higher.

I did get them all, including Mew using the clitch in Red Version. I also have about 700 hours of playtime in that game. Seriously. XD (I still wished I could transfer my Charizard from it without having to cheat... I already cheated to get him though, so it's done, but I wish there was some kind of connectivity feature to the old games)

I also got them all in Ruby, and working on Soul Silver. We'll see how that goes.

I got them all in my Blue game. Took awhile, but I had fun doing it. When I heard you could get Mew via a glitch...heh...I went for that pretty quickly.
