    Sorry to double post, but:


    Race against time! The internet leak Vs The talk show official!!


    Basically the games will be revealed on April 11 on Pokemon Sunday, but Coro Coro will also reveal them in their new issue, which comes on april 15 but usually gets leaked way before.

    Yay, I think Ebony & Ivory would have been better names if they wanted to go back to colors.


    Then again they could make Ebony & Ivory the English names.

    OH, MY, GOD. my friend posted a status on Facebook about Pokemon Black & White, & i seriously thought it was a stupid prank. so i dragged my sleepy a$$ & turned on the laptop, went straight to tv.com & now i am here only to find out it's TRUE! wowowowow, extremely stoked. & tonite is the start of my spring break ....hmmm what a good way to start it indeed. but i like Pikachu's name suggestions better, sounds more "professional", or what not. either way, cannot wait

    I agree, after all these cool names of gems and elements, Black and White sounds underwhelming.

    I am starting to think they are going back to the basics with Black & White....... not graphic-wise, hell no but you guys get what I mean? Well in that case, the Anime would start over, which means Ashy-Boy will win the Sinnoh League and Dawn will win the Grand Festival(I see her winning it if Contests are cut off from the games)

    I don't know who to trust with giving me the right answer but I'm positive one of you has the answer, will the games be released on the 3DS or the regular DS.

    Yay, that's going to be a problem with the titles. Though anyone with common sense that no matter what Pokemon they make version exclusive or what past Generation Pokemon they make available to capture in the game, being Pokemon had had a small "racial" problem (via the above mentioned Jynx), they might be more careful to choose which Pokemon goes into what games (though this probably isn't even a big problem as long as they don't make any "stereotypical" Pokemon.

    Only problem with that is what types will the "good" Pokemon be and also the "evil" Pokemon will probably fall mostly into being Dark-, Poison-, and Ghost-types (and btw, the Dark-type in Japan is actually called Evil-type).


    Though of course the concept of yin & yang isn't just good & evil, but are actually meant to show that everything has an equal opposite (as well as both sides having a little bit of it's opposite in itself). The exact meaning of "Yin" is "shady place" or "north slope" while "Yang" means "sunny place" or "south slope". But of course after years the concept spread into meaning other various things such as:


    "Yin" is usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil. They are generally associated with Femininity, birth and generation, and with the Night.


    "Yang" is characterized as fast, hard, solid, dry, focused, hot, and aggressive. They are associated with Masculinity and with the Daytime.


    Honestly it sounds like if they were going to make something with Yin & Yang for these games, it'll probably be with the Legendary Mascots. And thus the Third Version will probably be Pokemon Gray and the mascot of that game will represent Qi.

    ...not really, no. Going back to the basics would be... no contests. And no more evolutions with new conditions for old pokemon...? Anyway, i'm all for White Version.

    I hope there is a Brown Version because my skin color is a light brown, so I'll go for the middle color.*no racism intended*. But in all seriousness, the better looking Mascot and/or Version exclusives will be my choice.

    My selling point is how Emos, Punks, Goths and others have taken black to be their 'standard' color and i do love to hate those snotty little guys, so yeah.

    i really like that idea of the Gray version being the third exclusive. I'm getting Black version first, then White the following year.

    So I'm actually surprised to say that I'm not really liking the pictures that I've seen. It's probably just because of the clarity not being good at this point, but the updated 3D just looks kind of awkward.

    On the plus side, they are keeping the Pokemon Center design from HeartGold and SoulSilver which I like, but it looks like they might combine the Pokemon Mart and Center into one. That would be very nice.
