Pokémon VG Megathread

[Qwepir]

I've been thoroughly upset that I can't seem to get into beds in Pokemon since Ruby/Sapphire.

Like, random people's beds?

That and the player character's bed in their bedroom.
I know you can't get in it in Black/White and Black/White 2.
And I'm pretty sure the same is also true of Diamon/Pearl/Platinum.
Can't recall fro HeartGold/SoulSilver, but it might be the same.

Am I the only one who loves Chespin when he gets angry? He looks so cute. :3

Yes, I agree.

Can't recall fro HeartGold/SoulSilver, but it might be the same.

No you can't.
Speaking of Soulsilver, I finally caught Groudon with a Dusk Ball.

Elikiteru is so great

Edit: Oh, sorry, I mean "Helioptile"

[Regulith]

Along with the trailer we also got a region map for Kalos:



...some English boxart:



...and the English names for the Pokemon revealed the other day:

The goat Pokemon Gogoat is still known as Gogoat.

The lizard Pokemon Elikiteru will be called Helioptile and its move will still be Parabola Charge.

The robin Pokemon Yayakoma will be called Fletchling.

The panda Pokemon Yancham will be called Pancham and its move will be Parting Shot.

It was also confirmed that you will be able to get different clothes for your player character throughout the game, so skin/hair options aren't the only customization you'll have.

Looks like Europe to me.

[Regulith]

Je ne suis pas bon en français. Je devais traduire cela.
Pourtant, la France est une possibilité.

[Camera]

GUESS WHAT TYPE I LIKE THE MOST
OH YOU GUYS Y'KNEW IT WAS FIRE

speaking of ice moves have you ever used ice beam using a golurk? what other pokemon look like they're blasting a ray of freezing cold from their crotch?

Alakazam looks like he's firing rainbows its crotch in pokemon stadium.

[BlockoCrafter]

I've just listened to N's theme once again, and have to say, Gamefreak REALLY outdid themselves in B/W. When I first battled N, I just knew he was bound to be one of the main antagonists of the game.

[sir dooble]

I love the mini-France map, it's so cute.
I like the looks of Brittany and it's castle, aswell as the Channel Islands. :3

Suppose I shouldn't be overly surprised they don't include beaches on Normandy though. :P


And Helioptile is a cool name.
I'm going to guess that the name is either a combination of Helicopter and Reptile, judging from the floppy rotor like ears, or more likely Helios and Reptile, with Helios being the Greek god of the Sun, in reference to it's Electric typing and making light from electricity.
(I'm not too sure on the Helicopter idea really, but sometimes Game Freak pull out unusual things for their Pokemon)

[Wynd_Fox]

It's also slightly like hoplites which were Greek spear men.


So that's not gonna be at all related, I'm sure. :v

Could be. We haven't seen any of it's evolutions if it has any.
A classical/ancient Greece themed Pokemon family would be pretty cool.

[Dracpot]

It's shaped like europe

That peninsula is Iberia. I think. I don't have France's shape memorized so you may be right.

[Masterlegodude]

Guys, real talk?
