Pokemon Black And White 2

Is that really a new Forme? Looks pretty much the same as regular Keldeo to me. I just hope they'll officially release Genesect soon.

I'm still upset that Excadrill got EVERY update I wever wanted for Sandslash. Ability, typing, stats... Sandshrew only needed one to be great, and Excadrill got them all... forever hindering Sandslash from getting those tweaks. Which would be okay except Excadrill looks stupid. And creepy, like its wearing the skin of another creature.

The horn is different and the mane is longer. Beyond that, we only have a headshot right now. It probably has wings or something.

We don't have really a thread for this so I will just say it here.

For the Pokemon Special readers, volume 40 is out and its first chapter has been released so in the next weeks we should have the whole volume in English.

now that i'm finally up to date i'm curious. How long on average do we wait for the next volumes?

It really depends. Pokemon Special is known for having the most confunsing releases, like with this volume that took a long time to be released because its chapters were all new content that wasn't drawn before for magazine releases, the next volume is already coming out on the June 28 since it has its chapters drawn for a long time, so Volume 42 should take a little while to be released since its like Volume 40 where its all new content to be released(unless the HeartGold and SoulSilver is only Volume 41, but that would kinda suck).

And I wouldn't recommend following the magazines chapters (they are on the Black and White arc now)since its all very confusing where they skip chapters and plot points.
Pokemon Special is quite special(ha!) in the fact that its quite a bad in the magazine but amazing in the volumes.

I hope this helps a bit, its all very confusing.

Why can't my Virizion get a new form, dammit

why do they do that? what is the point

They have to keep pace with all the other game/anime/toy merchandising, regardless of where the actual manga story is. The magazine gets stuff hitting the latest tie in/costume/special, while the trades keep the story the way the author wants.

[black-leg jex]

so when black & white 2 comes out, black and white's story will just stop?

Since its an actual sequel, its hard to say.

We don't know for certain that it won't, we'll just have to wait and see....

[Cyber-Robin]

So I'm guessing if she used them in the anime that Homika will have Koffing, Garbodor and Scolipede in her team in B+W....or was that revealed already?

[black-leg jex]

koffing was and maybe Scolipede. She's the 2nd gym leader so i don't see her having too many pokemon. Most usually have 2

• It also provides some new information. First, there are different Fes Missions and Join Avenue shop inventory depending on the version. Join Avenue can receive information from players through local wireless or even connecting through the Nintendo WiFi Connection. You need to talk to the manager to see who opens up the shop.

• The contents of the shop vary from purchasing a collection of berries to whole new items that can boost your stats or increase the speed you can hatch eggs
  

• The Fes Missions can have up to 100 playing at any one time. These missions vary from finding berries to capturing Pokémon and are accessed through the Entree in EntraLink. When you complete them, you may get Pass Orbs or other rare items. There are also more Pass Powers in the game and are easier to use.

• It has also confirmed a new feature of the Xtransceiver where you can play mini-games; Balloon Catch where you have to touch the balloon with the face of yourself, but when you touch an opponent's balloon,it will deduct points and Smash Balloon where you need to blow up a balloon and make sure a friend explodes it.

• It also confirms Keldeo is only in its Resolution Form when it knows the move Secret Sword. When you delete the move, it will revert back to its Usual Form

• There are over 200 medals to collect, for achieving various bits of the game, and you can decorate your Trainer Card with them. These medals also give you a title given by someone. The medals are unlocked through a variety of things such as catching Pokémon, having a certain amount of battles and so on

• When you change the form of the Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus captured in the Dream Radar game by using the Reflecting Mirror, the Pokémon will have their Hidden Ability. That's Defiant for Tornadus & Thundurus and Sheer Force for Landorus. However, if you transfer the Pokémon from Black & White and use the item, they will transform into Sacred Beast Forme, but with the Sacred Beast Forme Pokémon having the same ability as if they were caught in Dream Radar.

• Finally, it confirmed the details of the Piplup that is to be given. It is holding the Metronome item and has the moves Peck, Featherdance and Sing. It is at Level 15. As stated on Wednesday, this distribution runs from July 20th to August 9th and is to tie in with the movie short: Meloetta's Sparkling Recital. The Event Database has been updated with details of this event

some minor information.

koffing was and maybe Scolipede. She's the 2nd gym leader so i don't see her having too many pokemon. Most usually have 2

She has two pokemon in her gym but I don't know if she will appear post league in the world tournament as one of the characters, so she migth have the anime team there with a Wheezing instead of Koffing.

Going to guess she has Koffing and Whirlipede ingame or Trubbish if Arty is still a gym leader.

[Vermouth]

According to Serebii, the gym leaders are Clay, Drayden (this can mean that Iris will reappear in Black 2 or White 2?) and Burgh. So no new gym leaders.

[black-leg jex]

i figured as much. It makes sense if you take a look at the map. They are all the towns that weren't frozen over. I just hope there's a way to battle the missing gym leaders

[AfroSamurai]

Probably the right place to post this...ASJKFSHKJFBEKRBJKFHWJOBEFBJHWEFBHK I want this guy!!! I want him to be my personal pianist. I want him to inhabit my home and play the piano at will when i ask. I want him to be my alarm clock. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Nice I got Homika team rigth, one thing Shizui is the last Gym leader and Drayden is the 7th interesting.

[RobbyBevard]

Apparently your first wild battle is *guaranteed* to be a shiny Patrat.

Uggh.

I have no problem with them upping the shiny ratio, they really should, but... shinies lose *all* specialness when they're the norm. Red Gyrados, or shiny legendary dogs are all boring. And... Patrat? That terrible thing?

I'd much rather have a shiny bidoof or furret.
