Well, they finally released info about generation 5's new games, Pokemon Black and White. And only a few weeks after HeartGold and SoulSilver have been announced...

Well, have fun discussing this.

[Neppy]

Japanese Pokemon Site saying it's Black & White!

Not really sure which one I'd get, neither color is really appealing to me, so I can't base getting one or the other on the colors like I've done with HG/SS, FR/LG, G/S. Well, I am actually suprised they went back to the whole "color" thing. Pearl/Diamond/Platinum were precious stones and materials.

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.

Well, I kind of called it when it comes to what the next series would be called - Except it was more of a joke than anything.

But, anyhow, I think it's time to call it quits on this type of progression they've got going on - in other words, they should start on a game that "doesn't end", by which I mean that it's extremely expandable in design and size and allows the player to have a different, somewhat controllable experience every time he or she plays - after all, just introducing a new generation and land every time isn't going to cut it at this point. By using this design, id they want to introduce a new area/and, or a new set of Pokemon, all they have to do is sell just that part individually instead of having to completely package what would be a new game.

Everyone has said black and white since they released the first three... that's not just you

I'm just gonna say it: I love Pokemon. The more the merrier. I don't see why anyone would say that there's too many. Think about it, if they just kept making games using the original 151, you would be complaining about that too.

I'm getting white, because I'm not black. Then I'll be getting black, because I always get both versions just for the heck of it anyways.

When I first heard of the news, for some reason, I didn't get confused, I thought they were gonna make it black and white. *shot for incredibly terrible pun that should never have been made* Deadly-bad puns aside, I'm quite excited for this. I just hope they don't have about 25 legendaries and pointless stuff like Contests and the Pokethlon.

Why would you want it not to have it. You don't have to use the features, but they're there for those of us who do.

One should never complain about a game having too many features, unless "bad" or "boring" (in your point of view) is something you have to do in order to play the game.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they'll handle trades from the older games, and to see if you can trade the new Pokemon's from these to them. I doubt it, but it would be sweet.

I heard these titles before,but they were hacks .Unless these prove to be miraculous/upgradical (custom words ftw) to the games,I won't be getting either,because I stopped caring for the games after Crystal.I got HG out of nostalgia,and the longing to see the changes,but they've added more than enough.They should've stopped adding after Emerald (not all are bad,but some are stupid).New Regions are fine, but it's almost impossible to "catch them all" now.My 2¢...PSP limits...

New Regions are fine, but it's almost impossible to "catch them all" now.

My thoughts exactly. 151 was enough to keep people busy for awhile, but now there's something like 495.

I'm not really interested in Pokemon anymore. At least, not the new ones. (Points to avatar. I love nostalgia) I stopped after getting FR, but honestly, had it not been for the fact that it was a remake, I probably would have stopped at Sapphire. I've had my fill of Pokemon, considering I've been playing since it first came out. One can only take so much, right?

Still, I'll be interested in seeing where it goes. Reading stuff about the newer ones can be interesting. (Especially stuff like glitches. I love looking up Pokemon glitches for some reason.)

[Christian]

Awesome! I will definitely get white version when it's released. I love Pokemon. It's a franchise that will always hold a place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood and the games are just so addicting.

I was hoping for it to be on the new Nintendo handheld but i don't care. As long as we see some major upgrades from Heartgold even though they were perfect remakes.

[Russ]

Black and White? Well, at least they're back with colors. But they could have picked better colors. As of now, I'll be getting white, since I like white better than black, but that might change when they reveal what each version's mascot is.

[Sheik]

I'm also on the side of those that say that the first 151 were cool and everything after them is too much. I stopped at G/S (played Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver) and even in G/S I thought the Pokemon were stupid and kinda uncreative The new graphics were nice, but that's about it :S
So I won't play these, just like I haven't played any titles after G/S. I might play FR/LG or HG/SS one day, but I doubt it actually.

[Golden Chocobo]

Greeeat. I want to see where this goes. Hopefully most of them don't end up looking retarded. Can you imagine an entire generation of Bidoofs? I'll most likely get BLACK. Bahahah.

Not me

...but it's almost impossible to "catch them all" now.

I did it. 493. Not impossible, just a lot of trading back and forth with friends.

Ditto.

[Adem]

Somebody got to it first.

There was actually a rumor going around awhile back saying it was an unreleased set of games. Doubt it was true, but now I'm totally psyched.

Anyways, Pokemon Sunday is supposed to reveal some Pokemon on Sunday, and that should hopefully include some of the starters. Depending on how those look, I may or may not get one of the games.

Black and White? Well, at least they're back with colors

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

Cool!

I'll probably buy this because I'm an addict and need to satisfy this ridiculous craze that has haunted me since I was a little lad.
