Pokemon Black and White Discussion Thread!

[quote=Zeprido]So, the new Pokemon officially comes out tomorrow, anyone else going to go out and buy it besides me? I'm having a hard time deciding between the two versions since I like White's Pokemon exclusives more, but I really like the visual differences in Black more. Anything you looking forward to competitively if you're into that? I'm not into it per say, but the three on three battles look awesome, and with the new moves available and the meta-game changing it should prove interesting.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I will pick it up eventually, but I want to see how the competitive scene changes first. I may just buy it for the story, but I will not participate in anything other than spectating in terms of competition.[/quote]

[quote=HIACliff]I preordered it with a DS. :D[/quote]

[quote=Jet]competitive play going to really suck with 3 on 3 flying/ghost pokemon with full team empower abilities -> enemy cripple abilities (mummy ability op), intimidate ground pokemon with accuracy reducing attacks, def/sp.def/sp.atk EV bulky pokemon good luck finding a solid counter[/quote]

Evasion clause: Makes it so the games aren't gay and don't go on forever. Although, I'm curious about what the new abilities and moves are going to be, I should probably check them out... eventually.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]I lost interest with pokemon after ruby and sapphire. So I'm not gonna pick it up, because I'm busy trying to kill these shadows in persona.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido][quote=Rudmed] I lost interest with pokemon after ruby and sapphire. So I'm not gonna pick it up, because I'm busy trying to kill these shadows in persona. [/quote] To be honest, Ruby and Sapphire (third generation) was the worst generation, so I feel bad that you quit because of it =/ On a side note I decided to go with Black, but went with Tepig instead of Snivy, naming the Tepig "The Hammer" for the lols, and also so I can randomly shout "it's hammer time" when I'm busting ass =). My first try on Tepig he (it's a male) has pretty decent IV's and might even have a few 20's, but a timid nature... which is okay, but would have much preferred adamant, I guess I'll have to do some massive breeding later on... did I mention he's shiny? =D[/quote]

Tell me when his ivs are 30-31 then I'll be impressed :). It's very hard for me to look at the campaign the same after being competitively playing for a while, cause as he has a timid nature, I'd feel the need to only teach it sp.atk moves :P[/quote]

My Tepig must have a really good atk IV since it started out as his highest stat (13), I'll let you know what it is around 30.[/quote]
