    I registered my game ID last night around 8 p.m. eastern time, site still says it's processing. It's been 20 hours. Despite the hundreds of thousands of people using it, should it be that slow? Not aiming to complain, but just wondering if that's how slow it is for everybody else.

    I don't think so, mine took some minutes...

    Hmm...perhaps not. I used both my games within ten minutes. I dunno.


    EDIT: There's going to be another giveaway Pokémon with the 14th movie. 50 Pokémon Dollars says it's Keldeo.

    Not exactly BW news, but it's better here than making another thread, for now. Coro-Coro this month made an announcement relating a new game: They will announce a new game next month.

    Nah, it's actually Zekrom for Black and Reshiram for White. My guess is that both will be Level 50 and have both their signature attacks. Zekrom with Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike, and Reshiram with Fusion Flare and Blue Flare. Same as the Shaymin from the 11th movie with it having Seed Flare at Level 50, and also the Darkrai from Shadows of Almia having Dark Void at Level 50.

    With the E3 starting, it's likely that the new game will be announced tomorrow, rumors say that there will be a pokemon launch title for the new nintendo console and it will support online play as a main function but it's not an MMO.

    Nothing about Pokemon. But there was something about Smash Brothers, which has Pokemon in it!!! Yay, a new one...



    Anyone interested in the 3D Pokedex thing? Seems boring to me...

    Yeah noticed :/ But it's hard to be disappointed when everything else was so full of awesome it made me tear up a few times *squee* Darksiders II~


    Eh, it's free, i'm sorta interested, might be fun to goof around with the mons from time to time and take pictures. Plus i think it might be a concealed way to test engines and stuff for Pokemon Snap 3D >v>


    Of course, first i need to *have* a 3DS... also, i know this is very off-topic, but i am actually considering selling my X-Box 360 and stuff to buy a WiiU at launch, that thing is so freaking rad...

    Sorry to bring this up, but important news.



    As it turns out, N has a real name. It is Natural Harmonia Gropius

    Hm, interesting. I guess "Natural" makes sense (it at least confirms there were any children A though M that Ghetsis "went though" before N), though it now makes me think Reshiram fits better with N rather then Zekrom being Reshiram was made to look more natural while Zekrom looks more mechanical. However I don't know where "Gropius" comes from as the only thing I can find for it is the architect Walter Gropius and quickly looking through his Wikipedia article (yeah, I know, I provide the best sources ever) I don't see any connections that could be made with N so I don't think that's where it comes from.


    Speaking of just announced stuff, on Junichi Masuda's Twitter he made this comment concerning a Ruby & Sapphire remake:


    "Thanks! I've received your sentiments. Ruby and Sapphire are very important games to me. I want to make something good. Thanks!!"


    While this neither confirms nor denies they plan on making a Ruby & Sapphire remake, it at least shows they have it on their minds. Being on an ever hunt for clues, there have been several Hoenn-related things in Black & White which can be found HERE. However this could just be passing references as each new Generation contains references for the previous Generations which can be found HERE (in fact, Sinnoh and Johto have more references than Hoenn).

    Huh, that's quite a name.


    And if they do release a Ruby Sapphire remake, can't wait to see what additions they do to it.

    Apparently in addition to revealing N's full name, Junichi Masuda's blog post also revealed these other facts about N:


    * "N" comes from "Natural Number", also known as "Whole Numbers". "N" itself is used as a notation to refer to the set of all natural numbers meaning it's infinite, but countable. (The Wikipedia article has more information if your curious, but it's all just numbers to me)
    * N has a high IQ, exceeding average humans. (Too bad he lacks common sense, though I suppose you can blame that on Ghetsis)
    * A genius, N excels in math enough to be called a math wizard. (In other words: NERD!)
    * N is quick-witted and has extreme mood swings. (I question the quick-witted part unless your talking about math problems, however I can agree with the extreme mood swings part as I don't think "separate humans and Pokemon" is rational thinking)
    * N can see the past and future of people. (What?)
    * N believes he was born from Pokemon; the parents are unknown. (So he's Tarzan except instead of brawn he has brains. Also I think that might be hinting Ghetsis isn't N's father which further's Ghetsis's Complete Monster transformation by adding kidnapping to his roster of horrible crimes)
    * N loves Pokemon but keeps his distance from humans. (But when he does interact with people he has no awareness of personal space)
    * N believes he's perfect. (He was proven wrong)
    * Always putting Pokemon first is N's ideology. (Isn't that the usual ideology of the Pokemon World? Hey, we have a problem! What's the answer? Use a Pokemon!)
    * Given how he is, he has been shunned by humans. In effect, he has a very strong connection with Pokemon. (I don't think it's that people shun him it's that he, and I quote one of the above facts, "keeps his distance from humans")
    * Junichi Masuda also talks about N's two themes in Black and White in relation to numbers, with his name's origin in mind. (It would be nice if they told us what Junichi Masuda because I have no idea where he's trying to go with this whole number thing)

    I don't really believe N was shunned by people. More likely the only people he knew were Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma, at least until he met the protagonist.

    By shunned I think they just mean that he can't connect to humans. It was stated in game the Ghetsis separated him from humans at a young age.

    Umm... umm... umm... Pikachu?


    Okay, being serious, being the Musketeer Trio was in the movie it was kind of obvious Keldeo was coming up, we all know that. However I'm still curious about the plot of the Musketeer Quad fighting Kyurem. I'm also a bit curious about what they'll do with Keldeo's Signature Move, Secret Sword, in the movie. I ask this because in the last movie the only time Victini used V-Create, it's event Signature Move and the move they showed it using in the pre-production trailers, was at the very end and even then it seemed they only had it use it to justify the Movie's Victini for having it.

    Keldeo willprobably be able to get Secret Sword at the Moor of Iccirus since you take it and the other three (Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion)there.

    I meant how will it be used in the movie, will Keldeo use it several times or will it only use it one time?
