Pokémon Black and White!

Nintendo have officially revealed the new Generation V games as Pokémon Black and White! There goes our (insert gemstone here) theories.

Its interesting just thinking about it though, maybe there will be some kind of dark/light legendary Pokémon, which would probably make the games a lot deeper than the previous series.

I hope all you say is true. Epic names and logos anyway. Great to hear this!

Well, what also came to mind was one month in 2009 when Nintendo started to register a lot of trademarks.  http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=69769.

These trademarks included the following:

2008-092032 nalaku
2008-092033 PiCOPiCT
2008-092034 WiiGoldenHandle
2008-092477 [DS Directional Sensor Card]
2008-092478 TAKTOFMAGIC
2008-093236 [Asoberu Ehon/Tobida Sugoroku]
2008-093265 [Pokemon Red]
2008-093266 [Pokemon Green]
2008-093267 [Pokemon Blue]
2008-093268 [Pokemon Yellow]
2008-093269 [Pokemon Black]
2008-093270 [Pokemon Brown]
2008-093271 [Pokemon White]
2008-093272 [Pokemon Gray]
2008-093273 [Pokemon Scarlet]
2008-093274 [Pokemon Purple]
2008-093275 [Pokemon Crimson]
2008-093276 [Pokemon Scarlet]


People speculated that these may have been to punish anyone if they continued to selling pirated games such as the infamous Pokémon Black and Pokémon White for the GameBoy.

It seems strange though to actually announce these games. It makes me feel that in some way they are still going to try to 'surpass' the Generation IV legendaries with good (white magic/yin) and evil ones (black magic/yang) ones, I don't know what to think about that.

About those extra trademarks though; I wonder if Nintendo are going to re-release Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Green once more, or make them downloadable on the DSi? If these games are coming out it seems a lot more likely. Also, according to the Nintendo Official Magazine http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=15954 the 3DS may feature GPS capabilities, so the idea of a "DS directional sensor card" seems to suit that.

Theory 1: Game is going to be like R/S/E games with 2 seprate teams battling it out to either ruin the world or destroy it.
Theory 2: Being able to chose you characters skin color (Doubt it though)
Theory 3: A new pokemon Type
Theory 4: Poke'walker becomes perm. Accesory for any and all future pokemon games

(Go right ahead shot down any theory you wish or expand on my theories)

Black and White versions?

Holy shit those names sound so epic. I'm sensing a Dunsparce evolution!

I'm enthusiastic for the release of these versions but…

…as an existing question, what would be the next legendary?

They already have…human formulae, Darkness, Light, Death(?) and even GOD.

Will the devil be next?

I was thinking of some kind of Ying/Yang Pokémon, perhaps some kind of white angelic Pokémon for Pokémon White and some kind of black, shade Pokémon for Pokémon Black. They have already made Darkrai though, so who knows? As for the event Pokémon (presuming there will be some) I honestly have no idea.

I am really looking forward to some changes with the camera angle and possibly rotations. I suspect they will do lots of things with that since Platinum's distortion world seems like a "beta test" for new 3D game mechanics. And it would make sense for Nintendo to finally add a "light" type to the game too. We will see soon…

After HG/SS, they announce Black and White with Zoroark in Zorua in it.

Now then, are we stuck with no Zorua/Zoroark in our HG/SS?

They were never planned for HG/SS to begin with.

Also, not only should they introduce a Light Type, but a Light/Dark Pokemon.

Light/Dark?

So it's both Holy and Unholy at the same time?

*confused*

Basically it represents Yin/Yang, and a balanced (or imbalanced) Pokemon.

Oh, a Balance Pokemon…I'd like that…

…And now, why can't I shake the feeling that the next region would be based off of China?

In a way, all the places have been based on Japan, so China doesn't seem far off.

One thing I'd want: battling the region's professor (like Red maybe?), or even another region's professor (like Oak.) They "used to train," right? What were their Pokémon like?
