    Well the trailer is also played on a bigger screen then the DS screen so that makes it looks slightly weird.

    So my name opinions. I love that they keep Munna. Pidove isn't bad, but is a tad awkward. Sandile is good and Blitzle is actually kind of good. Minccino is not bad, but I don't get why they needed to change it, Chillarmy sounded cuter too. I must say that I love Klink, it's kind of funny and way better then Giaru/Gear. Darmanitan is a great name. Could care less about Gigalith. Sounds good to me.

    Castelia City is a nice name. Wasn't this name used in the anime a long time ago? Prof. Juniper isn't bad, it will take time to get used to.

    Well this is certainly good news! My sister and I had a heart attack after finding out how early the release date is this time!!! I actually love all the new names, especially Gigalith, but I'm kinda sad over Blitzle. Why couldn't they have done Zebolt or something?


    And by the way, Toys R Us is also giving preorders on the games, and I just placed mine today. Toys R Us isn't included on the official site as one of the retailers giving out preorders though... Any news yet on special preorder bonus items?

    I'm thinking it'll probably be the Reshiram/Zekrom figurines that came with Japanese pre-orders. They did it for Platinum with Origin Giratina and HeartGold/SoulSilver with Ho-oh/Lugia respectively.

    I am slow, but i realized thanks to a friend that in this gen, Rotom can become an Electric/Fire pokemon with Levitate.

    It'll still be weak to Water- and Rock-type Pokemon.

    Well, I don't think figurines came with the Japanese release. I think they got keychains for each respective game, and if you got both you got a Pokéball cloth to clean your DS. Oh well, I'll still be looking forward to those if thats what we get! I'll love to attach it to my car keys!

    Shut up, It's FIRE and ELECTRICITY into ONE POKEMON. It's like, taking your two favorite types and making them into one pokemon. ...ok that is Exactly what it is and i think it's not as useful as Ghost/Electric with levitate, but still! I less than three fire and i less than three electric, so i less than nine Fire/Electric.

    I think the point is Electric/Fire should be double weak to Ground.

    Rotom can also be Electric/Flying with Levitate. Such a helpful ability.

    Yayz for new English names:


    Pokemon:
    Wargle = Braviary (the Valiant Pokemon)
    Minezumi = Patrat (the Scout Pokemon)
    Gochiruzeru = Gothitelle (the Astral body Pokemon)
    Rankurusu = Reuniclus (the Multiplying Pokemon)
    Desukan = Cof@griques (the Coffin Pokemon) (whose name is censored; no surprise there...)
    Mogurew = Drilbur (the Mole Pokemon)
    Kibago = Axew (which is pronounced "ah-zoo"; the Tusk Pokemon)
    Koromori = Woobat (the Bat Pokemon)
    Musharna keeps its names, just like its pre-evolution. (It's the Drowsing Pokemon.)


    Abilities:
    Dust-proof = Overcoat
    Sand Power = Sand Force
    Sand Strength = Sand Rush
    Mummy keeps its Japanese name.


    Moves:
    Double Chop = Duel Chop
    You First = After You
    Free Fall = Sky Drop
    Heart Stamp keeps its Japanese name.


    And finally, Mokomo's English name is Fennel... and I don't like it. I'm honestly not that crazy about most of the Pokemon names, as well; but, as with the others, I'm sure I'll get used to them... Axew doesn't sound so bad to me, and Patrat suits Minezumi quite well IMO.

    The giant list of every Gen. V Pokemon's English name (except for Keldio, Meloetta, and Genosect) leaked recently is unconfirmed, but these names actually are confirmed. Here's some picture proof:



    I also forgot to add that Dream Smoke has been renamed Dream Mist.

    Speaking of the unconfirmed list of all Gen. V Pokemon English names, it actually has some merit now because the few names that were confirmed are the same as on the big list (which leaked before said confirmed names). It's still unofficial, and some names sound outright ridiculous, but here it is for those who are curious:




    ***SPOILER***

    The fact that there's a pignite and no Seamurai/Oceamurai in that list must mean it's fake.

    No it mustn't. Maybe they thought of the obvious pun for Tepig's line after all. And maybe they didn't go with either of those puns...


    Love that they removed the violence from Wargle...especially as it's supposed to be such an American inspired Pokémon XD


    I rather like that list...Some of the are odd ("Roggenrola"? LOVE IT! XD) but for the most part I think that's a solid bunch of names, hope they turn out to be accurate.

    I'm-a wondering, do we have any idea when Black & White are set in relation to the rest of the series yet?


    EDIT: Of course, just thought, it must be a fair while after any previous generation, as we see the foreign Rocket Grunt from GSCHGSS, now with a wife and child...so how old is the kid?

    The kid uses a schoolkid sprite, so he's probably around Max's age since Max was based on the school kid as well. So what? 9-12 probably?

    Well bear in mind that that Ash & every other player character before BW was supposed to be 10, and the school kid is clearly a few years younger than that...

    Still, big gap.

    Anime=/=Games


    Being it was decided to keep Ash at 10, the anime has decided to ignore the passing of time. However between games time has passed, as it was clearly stated Generation II happened 3 years after Johto & Generation IV took place around the time as Generation II.
