Re: Pokemon Black/White
Kicks ass. The animations are awesome, the pokemon variation and new types make things interesting, some of the new pokemon are awesome beyond compare, and the game poses a good challenge. Especially near the end.

I haven't gotten very far myself, but what I have seen is pretty neat.

Re: Pokemon Black/White
I haven't played it at all. But somebody over at DA (the same dude that made the Epic Battle Fantasy series over at Newgrounds and Kongregate) said it was the same thing with a little more added to it.

It's easier and more fun to share our griefs than our happiness. Maybe we think somebody out there has a solution to our problems or we share it because we can't take them on alone. Either way, I believe that no matter who you are there will always be somebody there to support you if you know where to look. </tangent>

Re: Pokemon Black/White
That pretty much sums up every pokemon game.I haven't played it at all. But somebody over at DA (the same dude that made the Epic Battle Fantasy series over at Newgrounds and Kongregate) said it was the same thing with a little more added to it.

ASIDE FROM POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE!!
Well, not really, but the games are really a lot more different. More adult themed elements are in them (e.g. People sticking pokemon feces in their pockets) and then there's the animations. Also, the exp system is changed, it's more like fire emblem, where you kill higher-level pokemon and get more exp from doing so.

Re: Pokemon Black/White
I got my second badge. I'm enjoying the game, though I haven't been playing that much.

Re: Pokemon Black/White
I like it, somewhat. The idea of an RPG that will take me 80 hours to complete is starting to sound really daunting, but an RPG that (yes there are plenty new features but) at it's core has the exact same gameplay as all those that came before that will also take 80 hours to complete is probably why I have barely touched my copy of Black since I got it.
I have put more and more hours into each generation as they came out, I put well over 100 hours into Pearl which is the only version I got not just 1, but 3 pokemon to level 100. The idea of topping that this generation puts me right off, which is a shame because it looks awesome. I would certainly enjoy the game a lot better if I was new to the series or if there was some casual mode that made training individual pokemon a lot easier and faster, even if said feature prevented you from filling up the pokedex when catching pokemon.
And that reminds me, Pokemon is all about filling the pokedex, which is getting more and more difficult each time. That doesn't suit my style of playing at all. (Especially when the only way to get some pokemon is to attend events you can't afford to commute to... or cheat, which is also not my style of playing.)

Re: Pokemon Black/White
That was one of the big reasons why I never did continue playing the newer Pokemon games after Gold/Silver/Crystal.Pokemon is all about filling the pokedex, which is getting more and more difficult each time. That doesn't suit my style of playing at all. (Especially when the only way to get some pokemon is to attend events you can't afford to commute to... or cheat, which is also not my style of playing.)
Hell, I don't even play my copy of white that much either! I only have 3 badges.

Re: Pokemon Black/White
No. It's not. Because doing that is COMPLETELY impossible unless you cheat. Literally.

Re: Pokemon Black/White
If by cheating you mean that you have to trade with other players, then yes! Throh is badass from the start though, so is lillipup. Though I have found it more difficult to play with the grass starter than the other ones, fire seems like the easiest option--especially since (of course) it's another fire/fighting type later in the game. Another thing, I think someone should make a Pokemon autotune if they haven't already xD
Death isn't always cold, sometimes it bids a warm welcome with a hot cup of cocoa and a heating blanket--readying you for a peaceful, eternal rest...
Re: Pokemon Black/White
I don't mean that, trading is part of the game. Hacking the game however, is. That's what I was talking about.If by cheating you mean that you have to trade with other players, then yes!
