Wait, they made a sequel in the same generation world?

Why?  ???

They want more Dinero. Isn't it the reason for all expansion packs / extended versions for games ever produced?  :P

Yeah, but they never went the ff 10-2 route before.

I want a generation based in a region with a lot of volcanoes (Washington/Oregon)  I NEED MORE FIRE POKEMON!  :o >:( :(

It was planned to be a trilogy anyway.

You can't make a trilogy to a game which the first is beatable in a few day on CASUAL playtime

I don't know... I mean, PKMN Black was pretty good.  I enjoyed the game quite a lot.
I still occasionally play it, too.  I even go to the DreamWorld from the PC and whatnot.

I want a "Pokemon Universe" game, where you can travel to all the regions (including Orre, which after rescuing would have all new PKMN types instead of snatchable ones) and really get a "Worldly" effect.

But I know I'm only dreamin'.

First Scans for this months corocoro have been released!

This month's issue is the last of the pre-release info for black 2 and white 2.

Wanted to get white 2, but black 2 has the magmar evolution line, my favorite fire pokemon.

Well, the official release was yesterday, but members of 2chan received their copies early and posted the info online.

It looks vastly different than BW, so I think I might get this at launch.

Also, Zorua and deerling are given to you as gifts now.  8) (You can still catch Deerling in the wild.)

I'm preparing for this game by catching 'em all in my Black version.
I've caught 611 out of the 64X that exist.  But I have to play Pokemon Platinum in order to get some of the missing ones from that game.  Or get out my Pokewalker and catch 'em that way.  Gotta get that final push.

Then I'll finally be free.  Stupid completionist in me must have 'em all... argh...

It's a pity Nintendo wouldn't just make a pokemon MMO

Two reasons for that:

1) Because they make mad money from the different version releases every time.
2) The MMO is a dying market. If it's not WoW, it's not going to lucratively succeed. It might float a bit, but it'll inevitably fade into obscurity. Plus, the Pokemon brand can only take it so far.  Look at Star Wars The Old Republic.  Star Wars is one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, and it even had one of the most expensive budgets for an MMO and yet it is slowly sinking and nobody even remembers the first Star Wars MMO.

I am missing the Sinnoh Legendaries. :(
If I had them, I would have a complete Pokedex.
Here are the ones I'm missing:

Uxie
Mesprit
Azelf
Phione
Manaphy
Palkia
Dialga
Giratina
Cresselia
Heatran
Arceus

I only have Shaymin and Darkrai.  And I cannot request 'em on the GTS because my character never even met 'em before so they're not indexed.
As a result, I started to play the only generation I never really got into: Sinnoh Region (Pokemon Platinum).  It's annoying though 'cuz the Pokes in that zone don't give me that much experience so it's a pain to plow through the game.

1) true, true.
2) its only dying because everyone wants to clone WoW, Old Republic is super guilty of this.

My current team in Black 1 for adventuring (when I'm not breeding):
Sawk
Zoroark
Simipour
Serperior
Gengar
Smeargle (HM-Slave with Fly, Cut, Strength, Surf)

I don't really have a battle team because... well to be honest, I like the adventure and I like breeding for moves more than I like fighting.
If anyone is missing Pokemon or would like me to raise 'em, let me know.  I do Giant Chasm training and can easily bring a little tyke to Lv50.
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 12:59:21 PM
My 3rd (and current) team for white 1

Simipour lv. 52
Darmanitan l. 53
Unfezant Lv. 53
Excadrill lv. 53
Serperior lv. 53
Reuniclus Lv. 54

I broke my rule of thumb I have for my teams with this team, which is always to have fire, water, grass, and electric pokemon on them. The last 2 types are either flying, ground, psychic, ghost, dark, or steel.  Fighting types are on my team only if they are a duel type.

Gengar hasn't maxed out 'cuz I often have a new Pokemon in the last spot with Exp. Share or with Lucky Egg, ready for training.

How did you get your 3DS to run crystal version?

And where are the first and second generations games, Jorge?  You said you bought them.  ???
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 01:40:31 PM
I bought them to play on a Super Gameboy, and with my friend's Pokemon Stadium 1 Transfer Paks (which I do have).
However, I lost them when I moved from one place to another.  Lost quite a few goodies, actually.

It's been so long... I think my nephew has Pokemon Stadium 1... and I believe he may have old copies of G/S/C.  They may even be hand-me-downs from me, OHSNAP!

On the 3DS:
The 3DS is hosting a DSTwo FlashCart Slot 1 Device.  In DS Mode (since these carts are not for 3DS, only for DS), it can play DS ROMs and DS Emulators.  I have NESDS on it so I can play most NES titles.  I have LameboyDS, which lets me play most of the Gameboy/GBC/SGB titles, and the DSTwo is capable of playing GBA ROMs natively, so I can play GBA titles on my DS...and my 3DS.

Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 02:12:12 PM
Aww..you had my hopes up that crystal version got released to the virtual console.

What's your team going to be like in black 2 or white 2?
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 02:30:53 PM
I have no idea.
I'll probably trade some of my peeps that I don't use often, from Black1.
I'm not sure if Black2 introduces new Pokemon, except for that crazy Cassette Bug pokemon (Genesect) and that RockStar-looking one (Melodica?), but it DOES seem to bring back locations for the Pokemon from older generations that were not found naturally in Black/White1 (like the ones I'm missing; the Sinnoh Legendaries, etc.).

If you recall, after you're done with Black/White1, the Team Plasma ninjas give you the orbs for Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, but you never meet those dudes.  In Black 2, you do.

Also, I like that you will be able to have battles with the gym leaders of every existing region (BROOOOCK!) via some kind of online system in-game.

PS: 4942 6024 3661 is my PKMN Black FriendCode, in case anyone would like to trade or have me raise Pokeys.
I don't really battle much, though.

PPS: 3095 7196 3065 is my PKMN White FriendCode.

(If I get black 2)

And raise Vullaby or Rufflet to their evolved forms?
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 02:49:14 PM

Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 02:53:30 PM
Because I don't have a magmar in white 1.

Also, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED MY MAGMAR EVOLVED IN SOULSILVER!!! WHY, JORGE!!! WHY!!!!!!  :P

And I raised a Rufflet to a braviery in white 1 after beating Alder.

So, can I specify what moves I want on the pokemon?
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 02:57:04 PM
You can. :)
Of course, you know that adds a lot of complexity, trial&error, and time, so your requested Pokemon might take a while.
Especially since I do things the legal way.

Where was I!?  I was right here.  I also have HeartGold, y'know.  Actually HeartGold is the reason my PKMN White Pokedex is so nearly full; I used PokeTransfer and PalPark in Tandem to get all my guys up to speed. :D

Urgh, Clamperl. xD
Well, you can catch a Clamperl in Black (it's on the Unova equivalent of the Hudson, haha, west of the desert construction).

Thing is, though I have the evolutions (my white1 has the required deepsea items), I really have not played with them much.  I pretty much got them just to complete my Pokedex.
They seem cool though, for moves like Brine, Aqua Tail, Baton Pass, and Crunch/Psychic (depending on which one you're getting).  You can get Hydro Pump too.

Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 04:05:45 PM
I think it's pretty cool that
(click to show/hide)

Also, Jorge; what if there was...

Fire/electric? (yes, rotom had a oven form, but I'm talking an original Pokemon that is fire/electric.)
Fire/normal?
Fire/poison?
grass/fire?
water/fire?
fire/ice?


All the other types have been done with fire, so I think it would be interesting if they did this in the 6th generation, plus make fire the most common type in the region by having a lot of volcanoes in it (Ex: Washington/Oregon)


Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 04:31:55 PM
I can see something like Water/Fire if it's a steam/geyser Pokemon.
Fire/Normal is silly.  Almost as silly as Psychic/Normal (Girafarig).

Fire/Poison could work if they do some kind of Factory Fumes Pokemon.
Grass/Fire?  I don't think so.  Unless it's a WildFire evolution (like giving a grass weed/twig pokemon a Fire Stone or something).
Fire/Ice?  nahhhh.

Interesting bit of news there.
What they should do is add more to Far Rockaw---errr "Undella Bay" (it's based on Jamaica Bay haha... Long Island).

I'm from the NJ/NY area, so this game is particularly fun.
It's pretty cool that you start the game basically in LowerBound Brooklyn, and Driftveil City is basically either Union City, or Newark Bay Harbor (complete with the giant shipping containers), which is in my neck of the woods.

Nimbasa City is basically Madison Square Garden and Herald Square, what with its sports domes & whatnot.
Mistralton City has a small freight airport which corresponds to Teterboro Airport in NJ. :D  I used to WORK NEAR THERE! XD
Icirrus City is full of marshlands so it's probably Bergen County somewhere.  Looks too nice to be Secaucus (actual wetlands of NJ) so it's probably something like Ridgefield Park or something.
Tubeline Bridge looks as if a train ran across the center of the George Washington Bridge from NJ to NY.

Basically I'm fond of most of West Unova 'cuz it totally looks like places I've been to. :D
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 04:35:55 PM
Fire/normal pokemon could be based on a fire breather.
(HEY! DO NOT DISS Girafarig! Ghosts can't touch it!)  >:(
Grass/fire; I like your idea for it, jorge
fire/ice: Why not, jorge? It could be a yin/yang pokemon.  8)
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 04:50:16 PM
You cannot realistically have an Ice/Fire combination unless it's some sort of alien/foreign material that would be hot and cold at once.

The closest thing I could think of would be a Dry Ice Pokemon, where touching it is so cold that it burns.  But that's not 'real' fire, nor is it 'real' steam emanating from Dry Ice (it's just that the materials that form Dry Ice are in a gas state at room temperature... they're 'burning' in room temperature since their natural environment is that of a subzero genre).

Ok, so that's kinda farfetched but it's the only thing I can think of at this point.

Anything/normal is weird.  I'm still weirded out that most birds are Flying/Normal.  Why not just plain Flying?  What gives?
PS- I also edited my older post with some stuff.
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Highwind Dragoon on June 28, 2012, 04:54:17 PM
I never got that either, also how gust and razor wind were normal type in Gen 1.

And I'm not backing down from my fire/normal firebreather.

Fire/ice pokemon could be from a comet that crashed into the earth.

Think about it, Jorge.  8) ;D
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 28, 2012, 05:00:47 PM
That's about the only way it could work, if it's something like the planet Mercury where one side is scorching hot and the other side unbearibly cold.
Or a comet.
You know what's in comets?  Ices.  The type of ices Dry Ice would be made from. :P

Mr. Dragoon,

Your family would not procure you with the code to access their WPA/WEP network?
That's really all one needs.

I can take a SoulSilver code, but I do not have a complete PokeDex in my HeartGold, so some things might be a touch... difficult to get.

My soul Silver Code: actually, it's the MAC address: 00-09-BF-98-C1-17

Please tell me if this is the friend code or not.  :-\
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on June 29, 2012, 11:18:00 AM
That doesn't sound right, haha.
The MAC address is something your brother SHOULD be using to allow your DS access to the web if he's doing a whitelist.

If he were a good, awesome IT-style brother, he would set you up with a custom IP for your network, used only by your DS, and set up your DS so that the network knows exactly what that device is all the time.

The only way you would 'mess up the computer system' is if he gave you an IP that conflicts with an existing PC's IP on the network.  That would make that PC lose internet access, but he he's smart he would give you an isolated IP that wouldn't conflict.

Tell your network admin (brother) to stop being a douchenozzle, and either nut up or shut up.
Anyone who doesn't know how to give your DS a proprietary IP address in their network isn't competent enough to be administering it.  Christ on a stick.

I always get pissed at novice network 'admins' who really don't KNOW how to do the damn thing, so they just commandeer the network like you're the asshole who's gonna fuck it up.
It's not that fucking hard.

-Open up the Router Settings on a Browser
-Go to Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
-Add a proprietary address like 192.168.0.200 (Some high number that won't interfere with PCs and their automatic IP config Windows settings)
-Save your settings
-Turn on the DS
-Go to Connection Settings
-Go to "Connection 1" or whatever connection you wanna use
-Add the SSID of the Router.  Confirm with OK.
-Go to Security.  Type whatever connection the network is using (most use WEP but some use the latest WPA)
-Add the damn passcode
-Set the IP address to a custom address that matches that 192.168.0.200 from before.
-You're fucking done.  Do the connection test.
-This is easier on the 3DS than on the DS, 'cuz some older model DS's don't use WPA (in which case you'd be screwed if that's what he's using).

I'm tired of this shit. :P

And they'd both be normal type, unless you gave them a double type.
Normal like Zangoose, Sentret, and Bibarel.

No, the wolverine would be grass/fighting, as they live in forests.

The badger would be Ground/Fighting, as they like to burrow and Wisconsin got the badger state nickname because lead miners in SW Wisconsin would look like badgers after a long day's work.  :P

They're both fighting types because they are highly aggressive and territorial when challenged.

What do you think if the next generation was in Turkey and Bulgaria, and featured very rocky Terrain, and had ground, rock, steel, water and grass as the majority types?

Cities that would be in this region:

Amasya
Istanbul
Varna (Bulgaria)
Gallipoli
Sinop
Izmir
Ankara
Trabzon

And would also have the Hittite ruins at Hattusas, and the Hittite storm god Tarhun Could be an Electric/fighting legendary, and the Hittite sun goddess Arinna, who would be Fire/psychic.

HIYA POKEMON FANS!!!

After reading dragoon's link about the evolution of Pokemon games, just remembered something.

When I was 14-15 I borrowed a CD from my friend. The CD had, among other things, ROMS of GBC/GBA games. The CD had the first two generations of Pokemon for game boy color: red/blue/yellow, and silver/gold/crystal. It also had an odd game for GBC called Pokemon Diamond. The game had nothing to do with Pokemon, although it WAS a pokemon-style game. I suppose calling it Pokemon was meant to confuse naive kids into buying it, thinking it's an actual Pokemon game.
Ironically, the game was made FAR before Nintendo decided to make a game with the same name.
Also, like pokemon, there was another game almost identical translated as Pokemon Jade.

Anyway, if you're the hardcore Pokemon fan, you should check out that game. Its original Japanese name is Keitai Denjuu Telefang and it contains a strange, poorly translated world of "electronic monsters". The monsters are actually original and interesting.

Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on August 21, 2012, 09:35:31 AM
The third evolution for a lot of the Pokes is pretty Digimon-ish.
Though this wasn't true for RBY and GSC (Dragonite, Charizard, Gyarados, etc. look just fine), it is true for RSE and DPPt.  Hoenn and Sinnoh seem to have many 'armor plated' almost-robotic final versions and legendaries, like Groudon, Dialga, Palkia... and third evolutions like Blaziken.

They seem to have dialed it back with Generation 5 (BW), since a lot of the third evolutions aren't ridiculous crazy super-armor dudes (though Samurott gets kinda close).  Evolutions like Gothitelle, Reuniclus, and Leavanny, look pretty lithe and not over-the-top, and even the legendaries look more like dragons with something attached to their tails (Reshiram) rather than heavy Transformers.

Gigalith is a giant piece of rock.  Making him soft would be stupid.

Ferroseed is a seed with iron spikes.  It still doesn't look like Digimon nearly as much as the ones I mentioned.

I'm sure it's been talked about but I'm too lazy to scroll the 6 pages but why the name Black and White 2? I know it's a sequel to black and white but gold and silver weren't called green and red 2 or blue and red 2. Did they run out of colors?

Anywho just because I have no other games to play(btw that's a lie) I'll pick this up. Moreover, I'll transfer my team I made on leafgreen then to pearl then to heartgold then to white and now to black/white 2. I've had my team for awhile.

I am so confused. I'm an old-school Pokemon player thinking about getting back in the game. During the first generation, I competed in the North American mall tournament tour and won two badges, but during the Gold and Silver Era, I just didn't care for the flow of the game's map and early-in-the-game Pokemon selection, and basically gave up with my copy of Gold...

Ever since Diamond and Pearl, I've been thinking of coming back on board. But then Platinum hit, and then Black and White, and Black and White 2 hit in such close proximity. I actually like the starter Pokemon of the Diamond and Pearl generation a lot more than Black and White, but all the new features and visual effects from Black and White are pretty tempting. At the same time, we all know that a 3DS exclusive title is going to be coming up in a few years, so I don't know if I shouldn't just wait. Any thoughts or recommendations?

You know, that actually might make the most sense. I'll miss the idea of more animation to the Pokemon...but I'll be able to pick up where I left off, so to speak, and a Ruby and Sapphire Remake may eventually come out, and then I can transition into that. Or do you think they'll skip remaking Ruby and Sapphire?

PS: I'd love it in a future game if the Pokemon could actually say their names. That's one simple feature of immersion they're still missing.

Power was knocked out by an exploding transformer, one of many in my area, from Monday Evening, until Early Morning today.
No electricity meant no Cable Internet, no landline phone, and no hot water, and no house heating.  We had to sleep with many blankets and sweatshirts.
By day 3, the hot water stored in the water heater had dwindled, forcing us to boil water to bathe.
At least we had clean running water.

Hey, question, as I'm still living in the GB era of Pokemon. How do Serial Numbers for special Pokemon Global Link promotions work? You buy the game with the serial number, then you have to go online with the DS? I have a DS Lite, so how would I go about this? Do I need an adapter, a public hotspot--what? EDIT: OR can I use the Wii has the hotspot, and load it from there to the DS Lite with local wifi, like you do DS Demos? (That'd be best for me). ALSO, do these serial numbers expire if I can't get all hooked up with the wifi stuff fast? Info appreciated. Thanks.
Title: Re: Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on December 09, 2012, 08:15:07 PM
I sent you this as  PM but I figured it's very useful information, so I'm gonna paste my response to this reply :P   :

INTERNET AND POKEMON
With Generation IV (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver) and Generation V (Black/White/Black2/White2), you get to use your NintendoDS/Nintendo3DS's online connection (using your wireless router at home or at a hotspot) to connect your handheld to the Internet.

CONNECTING ONLINE IN-GAME DURING THE STORY
Upon starting the games, usually around the 2nd or 3rd badges, the 2nd floors of Pokemon Centers around the towns in those worlds will open up, allowing you to use something called the "Global Terminal" to connect to the Internet using WiFi and battle, trade, etc.

HOW IT WORKS
The way it works is, it takes your cartridge's unique savefile number (generated secretly when you create your save) and your handheld's connection to create an unique ID number when it connects online.  There are no serial numbers (not 'really', though you do have a 'pal pad code' which works like a friendcode if you want to trade with friends you know).  It's a little complicated but you don't really need to know the details.

SOME THINGS TO KNOW
You should know, however, that what is done is, the Game's Save is combined with your handheld's Wireless Connection Information to generate an unique number that's saved in your savefile.

This little tidbit of info is not too important, but it's good to know.  Also, this ensures that you can only do this with your game inserted in your own system.  Note that if you own multiple handhelds (such as a DS, DSI, and 3DS) and try to change systems and then connect, the game will know, and will wipe out your previous connection's information and update it with the newer handheld.  However, any promotion that you got will be saved, so you don't lose anything except your "Pal Pad Friend Codes" when you do this (it's basically like your cellphone number: it changes and you'd have to tell all your friends you've connected with that you got a new one, so you would have to write down all your Pal Pad friendcodes if you change devices).

POKEMON PROMOTIONS FROM NINTENDO, GAMESTOP, TOYS R US, MOVIE OUTINGS, ETC

Once your DS/Cartridge are configured to go online (i'm assuming your DS has been configured to go online already, otherwise that's a whole 'nother discussion), you can get Pokemon Promotions through the game's "Mystery Gift" option.  When you fire up your game, before hitting "Continue" on your save, you have some extra options, one of which is "Mystery Gift".  This feature was using in the old GBA titles, but you would have to either use a Wireless Adapter near a Game Store that was running the promotion, OR connect via a cable.  THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE.  Now, you just turn on the game, select "Mystery Gift" and choose "Use Nintendo WiFi Connection (Nintendo WFC)" and it'll go online, and if Nintendo is running a promotion, it will download the "Gift" and save it to your game.

There are other methods of getting promotions.  Sometimes Toys R Us or Gamestop, or if a new Pokemon movie comes out, these places will have a "Wireless" location.  You would just have to use the "Mystery Gift" option while in that Wireless Location (usually inside the store/movietheater) and choose "Wireless" (instead of "Nintendo WFC").  If you do it this way and a promotional download is nearby, you will get it.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR DS/DSi/3DS ONLINE (If you do not have a Wireless Router)
If you do not have home WiFi, you can go to any open WiFi hotspot (Try a McDonald's or a Starbucks!), and configure your DS to go online via those HotSpots.  There are other ways to go online if you do not have WiFi, such as using a laptop (laptops usually have a wired adapter and a wireless adapter) in conjunction with "Internet Connection Sharing" to connect devices, but it varies between platforms/OS's/HomeSetUps, so it requires different methods to go online.

You can also purchase a "Nintendo WiFi Connection Adapter", it is an USB dongle that you connect to any computer that's wired to an Internet Connection, and it'll create an USB Internet Connection Bridge that'll let you hook up any Nintendo System to the 'net without having a Router.  This is by far the easiest (and most affordable) way to connect a Nintendo system (works with NintendoDS, Nintendo3DS, Wii, and Wii-U) to the Internet if you do not own a Wireless Router and have a computer.

They're about $17 in Amazon (+Shipping & Tax) (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Wi-Fi-USB-Connector/dp/B000MXMNG4)

Promotions for Pokemon online usually run a specific number of days (it's usually a few months).  For information on particular offers, you can go to the official Pokemon Global Link webpage (which you should go to anyway as you can, in the latest games, 'upload' a Pokemon to the Internet and interact with it online via flash software, a method you can use to get a number of Pokemon from the Internet).

Official Pokemon Global Link Webpage (http://www.pokemon-gl.com/)

Another good site for Promotions is the homepage of Serebii.net.  Usually they tell you if there's a "Nintendo Event" download.  Could be a new Pokemon.  Could be a wallpaper for your in-game "C-Gear", would be a new play for one of the town's "contest plays", or what have you.

There's lots to do with Pokemon, your handheld device, and the Internet these days.  I've only scratched the surface.

Post by: RichterB on December 09, 2012, 09:48:38 PM
Jorge, thank you very much for the detailed info!!! McDonalds or Starbucks might be the easiest to get started. However, I wasn't sure what you meant by configuring one's DS for the internet.  :-\ (I've used the "DS Download Play" button on the start menu to play Demos off of the Wii's Nintendo Channel and stores like Toys R Us and (back in the day) Circuit City. I've never seen any other internet options on the system, only basic options for GBA, alarms, user name, etc). I have a DS Lite, not a DSi or later models, so maybe that's a problem? Or maybe the internet configurations are part of the game card.

EDIT: From the reading I just did, I gather that the internet connection stuff is ON the game card. (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=52000&system=DS&locale=lang (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=52000&system=DS&locale=lang))

Anyway, this is good information to have. If I don't jump on with this promotion in the latter years of the Generation V, I'll definitely be coming back for Generation VI. (Rumor has it might be 2 years out).

As an aside, I think it would make TONS of sense for them to integrate what they do with Wii's DS Demos for these Pokemon options. But alas.

Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on December 10, 2012, 09:43:18 AM
Think of your DS as a Wifi device.
In order for it to connect to Wifi hotspots, you need to configure it to connect.

NOTE: Games that use the Nintendo WiFi Connection will allow you to enter this special menu from within the game.  Look for a game that has the "Nintendo WIFI Connection" logo.  All of these games allow you to enter a special WiFi Setting that's inside your DS/DSLite/DSi/3DS.  You cannot see this setting without these games if you're using a NintendoDS or DSLite.  I 'think' DSi systems allow you to see it from their homescreen without a game.  The 3DS also lets you configure it without a game.

WHILE NEAR A WIFI HOTSPOT:
1. Turn on your DS.
2. Once you're at the "Warning - Health and Safety", touch the screen.
3. There are a few buttons on the screen.  Touch the one for your NintendoWFC-Capable game.
4. Within that game, 'somewhere' there will be a "Configure Nintendo WiFi Connection" button (usually along its main menu).  Click that.

Once you're there, follow the instructions on this website (why bother typing all of that up when it's all here):
**Clicky** (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/feature.asp?c=701)

Your DS allows you to save three different WiFi connections.  When you're near a hotspot, its Wifi menu will scan and find the hotspot and show you what kind of connection it has based on the colored lock next to the connection (gray: incompatible connection, blue: open connection, red: WEP-password-protected connection).  Try to find a connection that is blue.  Those are usually open.  You can also configure a Nintendo WiFi USB Adapter connection in this fashion.  Your settings for connecting to the Internet are saved even if you use another gamecart.

I can only assume that Pokemon Y will be the more masculine version.  :P

I knew this day would come, I just didn't realize it would be so soon. I mean, we just got Black 2 and White 2 last year. Still, it'll be awesome finally playing a Pokemon game actually made for the 3DS on my 3DS.

A friend of mine made an interesting point about the whole X Y thing.

He thinks it's possible that X and Y are sort of a play on the concept of 3D, in that there could be a Z as well, indicating depth, as a potential third version.

Still, I picture a meeting where they were trying to figure out what to name the new Pokemon x version and y version (as a formula), and some guy was like, "That's it! We'll actually call them X and Y version!" The team leader said "Brilliant! This man deserves a raise!"

KRUSHCHEV used PLANT CORN.
It's not very effective...
KENNEDY used BAY OF PIGS
But noting happened!
KRUSHCHEV used SMUGGLE NUKES
KENNEDY's QUARANTINE blocked the attack.

REAGAN used SDI.
It's super effective!
GORBACHEV's nuclear capabilities harshly fell!
GORBACHEV used PERESTROIKA.
But it failed...
GORBACHEV used GLASNOST
But it backfired!
GORBACHOV fainted.

All of that and more... In Pokemon Capitalism / Socialism!
Hell, I can go on like that forever.  ;D

New Pokemon so quickly...so confused...can't decide when to jump back on board...??? (And I don't even have a 3DS yet--what happened to the promised Contra 3DS?!)

BUT, I will say that I like the name X and Y. It's cool. It shows a clear break from the series' conventions, and plays up the 3D. (Besides, letters like that just look cool next to names--Mega Man X, anyone?)

I find the new starters less divisive than the Black & White gen. Chespin's probably my fav so far. I like the X logo, but I like the Y Legendary better, so that causes a dilemma. :P

Unfortunately, the graphics and the features so far don't seem like the quantum leap one would hope for. (seems like this could have happened ages ago). In other words, it seems like only a logical baby step up from the last gen, which is sad. I feel they are holding back still. And of course, knowing Z will inevitably come out just adds the insult to injury. Z=snake-shaped Pokemon?

I hope they don't add too many new Pokemon for 6th gen. Not all the 5th gen Pokemon have sunk in yet. I doubt there will be too many new ones though, since they aren't having only the new Pokemon available through the game until after you beat the elite four, as in the first gen 5 games. New and old Pokemon will be everywhere.

Haha, No 3DS yet? Even with Mirror Of Fate just around the corner? (A 3DS exclusive) I completely agree with you on the break. In my opinion (Which is what forums are for!) This truly feels like an "Evolution" for the pokemon franchise. I spent about an hour wanting to hate this game, when it was released. But how can I? Ever since I was A kid and played Pokemon Stadium, I wanted Pokemon in the 3rd dimension. I think its safe to say we all did. But look now, We are finally making A step towards A full 3D adventure. I still think one on console would be best. But Pokemon is best on the handheld systems, Its the reason Nintendo always wins the handheld wars haha.

"Nintendo has sent out some new details regarding Pokémon X & Y. Specifically, it has confirmed that the types of Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie will be pure Grass, Fire and Water respectively. In addition to that, they have released six direct feed screenshots of the Pokémon in battle, which have been added to our screenshot page."

No surprise there, but the screenshots are from the trailer, so nothing new there.
Expect more new screenshots and info from next month's Coro coro magazine.

Ninfia, an Eevee evolution, it's type and evolution method is unknown at this time.

I Bet it's fighting type, and It evolves with stats like hitmonchan/lee/top.  8) (Probably equal attack number and defense number.)

It's english name is Sylveon.

We still need Steel, Ghost, Flying, Fighter, Earth, Poison, Bug and Dragon type Eeveelutions. BUT Eevee doesnt have a normal evolution yet, I think it will be a normal-type evolution based in beauty, since is German name is Feelinara (based on "feline") and Ninfia (based on Nymph/Ninfa). I know that the beauty evolution as been introduced since the GBA era, so I have almost sure that Im correct.

If thats not a normal-type, thats a new0type or a flying type.

No,no,no, just NO.

That would be the lamest thing in the history of lameness to happen if it was normal type.

It's either fighting, flying, or bug.

EDIT: also, it's US name is based on mythical creatures that live in the clouds.

The May CoroCoro scans leaked!

Via Serebii.net:

"The first details of CoroCoro appears to have come out. With special thanks to my friend Gin for translation. First, the Pokémon on the far right is called Gogoat (ゴーゴート literally Gohgohto) and is the Riding Pokémon. It's Grass-type, 1.7m and 91.0kg. You can actually ride this Pokémon in the field. It can learn Horn Leech
The lizard is called Elikiteru (エリキテル) and is a Electric/Normal-type. It is the Generation Pokémon and is 0.5m and 6.0kg. It has a new move called Parabola Charge which heals the user while damaging opponents. It uses solar rays to generate electricity
The bird is called Yayakoma (ヤヤコマ) and is the Japanese Robin Pokémon. It is Normal/Flying, 0.3m and 1.7kg. It announces itself with a beautiful voice. It can use the move Nitro Charge
The panda is called Yancham ( ヤンチャム) and is the Naughty Pokémon. It is Fighting-type, 0.6m and 8.0kg. It has a new move called Parting Remark
There appears to be more including the game's boxarts, and the Pokédex, as well as the region map but it's not completely visible. We'll bring more as it comes so be sure to keep checking. It also promises more information on Gogoat on a later page.
Edit: The game is set in the Karos Region which appears to be based on France. You can customise your trainer slightly with hair colour and skin shade. Main city is Miare City which is where it is seen to ride Gogoat."

Pokemon at E3 coverage begins!

"During the Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Pokémon X & Y will include the new Fairy-type which includes Sylveon, Gardevoir, Jigglypuff and Marill and is super effective against Dragon types. Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy, Marill is Water/Fairy and Jigglypuff is Normal/Fairy. A new Pokémon was also revealed called Vivilion and one called Noivern.
Noivern's move Boomburst emits an explosive sound wave that damages all nearby Pokémon.
Sylveon has a move called Moonblast, a new Fairy-type move that calls on the power of the moon to attack an opposing Pokémon. This move can be very powerful and also lowers the opposing Pokémon’s Attack stat.
Edit @ 16:15: In addition to this, Vivillon is said to evolve from a Pokémon called Spewpa. No details on this Pokémon have been revealed yet.
A new feature called Pokémon-amie allows you to interact with your Pokémon to help grow your bond. This allows you to play with them and copy their actions. Release date on October 12th worldwide. We have direct pictures added so click the image to go to the page
Edit @ 16:52: Updated various pages in our X & Y Section including the Attack page.
Edit @ 17:07: Created a page on the New Type - Fairy-type & Pokémon-Amie

"In the Pokemon series up until now, there has been a limit on how many times each Pokemon could evolve. However, Mega Evolution is a different kind of Evolution, one that surpasses that limit. Mega Evolution is described as an Evolution beyond all Evolution, a transformation found only in the Kalos region. It has also been called the greatest mystery of Pokemon.
A Mega-Evolved Pokemon will be able to tap into a strength far greater than it could before. When a Pokemon becomes a Mega Pokemon in battle, Trainers will have a great opportunity to turn a battle around and snag a win!
Only certain Pokemon, under certain conditions, can achieve Mega Evolution. One of those conditions is a special item called a Mega Stone. These special stones exist for every Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, and each is named for the Pokemon to which it grants power. To use a Mega Stone, give it to your Pokemon to hold. Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution will gain access to their potential only if they first carry a Mega Stone into battle. Other things are needed for Mega Evolution to succeed, and those secrets will be explained later! Some of the many Mega Stones seem to be hidden in secret places in the Kalos region. Finding every one of them will be one of the challenges awaiting you in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y!
Blazikenite is the Mega Stone needed to Mega Evolve Blaziken. Its item description reads, "One variety of the mysterious Mega Stones. Have Blaziken hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle." Lucario needs Lucarionite to Mega-Evolve.
Mega Mewtwo is specialized in Sp. Atk while Mega Blaziken is specialized in Attack.
Korrina seeks to draw out her Pokemon’s strength to reach still greater heights. In addition to being a Gym Leader, she's great on Roller Skates! Korrina's Gym is in Shalour City, a seaside location known for its amazing views.
The Tower of Mastery is located in Shalour City and is related to Mega Evolution.
With Super Training, it’s not your Pokemon’s level that goes up but its base stats, the underlying values that define your Pokemon's skills in battle. As these base stats increase, your Pokemon can increase its HP, Attack, or other stats beyond those of another Pokemon of the same species at the same level. These base stats could be increased using items and other methods in previous Pokemon titles, but in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, you'll be able to raise them far more easily than ever before, thanks to Super Training. This will lay the groundwork for more Pokemon Trainers to aim for the very top!
Super Training can be played on the touch screen whenever you are not in battle or viewing an event. Your Pokemon will face huge Pokemon-shaped balloons, with each side trying to shoot balls into the other's goal.
For a more casual way to help your Pokemon grow, use training bags for an easy boost to your Pokemon’s growth with Core Training! You'll earn training bags when you complete Super-Training Regimens.
EVs (base stats) can now be seen through a meter.
The round shape of Dedenne makes this Fairy-type Pokemon instantly recognizable. Dedenne has the Cheek Pouch Ability, new to Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. If a Pokemon with this Ability eats a Berry during battle, it will not only reap the usual benefits of that Berry, but will also be able to regain HP. Dedenne can also plug in to power outlets and drain electricity from them. It can learn Nuzzle, a new Electric-type move.
It is said that the Normal-type Pokemon Bunnelby creates its den by digging in the ground with its large, shovel-shaped ears. Its ears are strong enough to chop through thick tree roots. Its Abilities are Pickup or Cheek Pouch.
The gentle-natured Skiddo is said to have been the first Pokemon to live alongside humans. Thanks to living with humans so long, it doesn’t seem to mind carrying people or loads on its back. Skiddo evolves into Gogoat, another Pokemon you'll be able to ride! It can learn Leaf Blade.
The Torchic you'll get via the Nintendo Network has the Hidden Ability Speed Boost. You can't find a Torchic with this Ability through regular gameplay. This Level 10 Pokemon knows the moves Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy, and Ember."

Still no word on the types of these gym leaders, or a map showing the routes on the overworld.

I think they will not show something like that until 1 week before the release. Since they will do a simul-release around the world I think they will try to avoid spoilers of that magnitude until they near the release.
