Hopefully low. Sick of Fire/Fighting. Give me more Fire/Psychic or Fire/Dragon!

Fire/Dragon is too beastly. If they do Fire/Dragon though they should retcon Charizard, dude deserves it.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Why do I have a (bad) feeling that it's not going to be a mainline game?

I felt same thing.

 

[Berordn]

But with this—not quite remake, not quite entirely new game; not quite Generation 5, not quite Generation 6—effectively, a Generation 5.5 game, I think it's exactly what needs to be released. What else are they going to do, really? Any other option just seems to soon, or too out of place. This seems like the perfect bridge game before Generation 6.

Assuming it comes out around Summer/Early September in Japan as is the norm, it'd actually be following their normal timing. HG/SS came out September 12, 2009, Black and White came out September 18, 2010.

B2/W2 came out two years later on June 23, 2012. If they're announcing it for a summer release, they'd be spot on.

 

[Busaiku]

Charizard deserves nothing.

 

[Smiley90]

Shh, GAF doesn't take too kindly to religious folks.

It's just so... majestic.

I also like Lugia, though. Those 2 are probably my favourite legendaries.

Favourite in general has to be Dragonite, though.

 

[Chet Rippo]

MOST FORGETTABLE POKEMON OF EACH GENERATION GOOOO

Qwilfish

 

[MasterSheen]

It's hard picking a favorite legendary, but it's definitely NOT Ho-oh.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

I guess it's more Porygon's evolutions than Porygon itself.

Porygon is memorable to me for costing 9999 coins at the game corner in Red/Yellow.

there's gotta be more coins laying around on the ground round here!!!!

Dammit

*spends the last of my poke on more coins*

 

[BlackJace]

You guys are breaking my heart.

 

[stktt]

Most forgettable? Seel, Corsola, Masquerain, Chatot, and Heatmor.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Most forgettable? Seel, Corsola, Masquerain, Chatot, and Heatmor.

Heatmore! I thought you were making that up, cause I couldn't remember it in the slightest!

 

[Makonero]

Mew is best legendary. Deal with it.

 

[B-Dubs]

Charizard deserves nothing.

Blaspheme! Dude needs some love, stealth rock is pure evil.

 

[Cookie18]

I've been thinking of selling my 3DS over the last week and this could very well decide whether or not I do that. Pokémon is the only thing I really play on it.

 

[Akibastman]

MOST FORGETTABLE POKEMON OF EACH GENERATION GOOOO

Aerodactyl, Qwilfish or Dunsparce, Relicanth, Chatot. Didn't play B/W but I guess I would forgot about that huge snowflake easily.

EDIT:

Most forgettable? Seel, Corsola, Masquerain, Chatot, and Heatmor.

Oh yes, Corsola too.

Spoiler

Not agreeing with the others though.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Most forgettable? Seel, Corsola, Masquerain, Chatot, and Heatmor.

okay yes it's this

 

[MidnightScott]

Will GAF servers crash?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Qwilfish

I'm always holding out for a Qwilfish evo, i'll never forget.

More memorable than Finneon surely.

You guys forgetting Heatmor now? aw man, its movepool is weak but I dug the design, awful to use as I discovered the hard way.

 

[Busaiku]

GAF doesn't even crash for E3.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Forgetable for me?

1 - Exeggute
2 - Qwilfish
3 - Spinda
4 - Finneon
5 - hard to say

 

[Hot Coldman]

Qwilfish

the fuck you say

 

[Aaron Strife]

I like the cutesy legendaries more

 

[Berordn]

You guys forgetting Heatmor now? aw man, its movepool is weak but I dug the design, awful to use as I discovered the hard way.

I still don't get why it wasn't Steel/Fire, the design even looks like it should be. Mini Heatran would've been great for the late game.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Actually, I change my mind, Deoxys is the coolest legendary.

Space virus.

So glad you've seen the light.

 

[Busaiku]

the fuck you say

That's a Magikarp and Pikachu.

 

[Makonero]

Remoroid? Octillery? Yanma? C'mon guys, I love Gold and Silver, but the pokemon they added were second stringers. Gligar? Sunkern? Pssh.

 

[Pikma]

Why even the most vaguely Poke-related threads have to always end like this? :lol

 

[Hot Coldman]

Celebi is perfect to me.

That's a Magikarp and Pikachu.

I knew some smart-arse was gonna make a post like that

 

[Chet Rippo]

the fuck you say

That's Magikarp, not Qwilfish.

 

[Akibastman]

Forgetable for me?

1 - Exeggute
2 - Qwilfish
3 - Spinda
4 - Finneon
5 - hard to say

It's hard to forget Spinda, there's a entire road full of them.

 

[Roto13]

Forgetable for me?

1 - Exeggute
2 - Qwilfish
3 - Spinda
4 - Finneon
5 - hard to say

Spinda's memorable for the way the game generates spots. It's neat.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I still don't get why it wasn't Steel/Fire, the design even looks like it should be. Mini Heatran would've been great for the late game.

I'd say because it spends its time burning steel ants but then again maybe if it were steel itself it would make more sense that it devours steel ants, that and it has like exhaust pipes all over the place, including one that looks pretty awkward on his sprite.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

octillery is goddamned amazing and don't you forget it

 

[Ashodin]

Ho-oh says all legendaries can eat a dick

 

[UltimateIke]

Qwilfish

Team Plasma remembers. They tell Hugh his hair looks like a Qwilfish!

 

[backlot]

Remoroid? Octillery? Yanma? C'mon guys, I love Gold and Silver, but the pokemon they added were second stringers. Gligar? Sunkern? Pssh.

Yanma and Gligar's 4th gen evolutions are some of my favorite Pokemon though.

 

[ffdgh]

Arcanine is the best legendary. Get it right.

 

[Rubius]

Nope.

Hey bro. Bro. Bro Hey.

Spoiler

Pokemon Blue is better

 

[jchap]

Spinda's memorable for the way the game generates spots. It's neat.

And for me culling billions of them for SP Attack EV

 

[kittens]

Out of all the "forgettable" Pokemon listed so far, Masquerain is the only one I had to look up. Yall can do better. I would offer up some candidates of my own, but I don't want to, hah.

I've been thinking of selling my 3DS over the last week and this could very well decide whether or not I do that. Pokémon is the only thing I really play on it.

May as well keep it at this point. Even if it's not announced tomorrow, Gen VI can't be too far off.

 

[TheVampire]

Why cant they just make a Wii U pokemon rpg game??

Get pokemon off the handhelds ffs

At least try it.

 

[Ashodin]

Do you even Tangela bro

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Can't wait to find out what it is. Not gonna stay up so I guess I'll see what it is on Nintendo's youtube.

Also, am I the only one that likes surprises? Besides what the main characters look like, and the region that it takes place, I still know nothing about B&W2. And am proud of it. If it is Gen VI, then the only thing I wanna know is what the main characters, boxed legendaries/box art, starters, and what the graphical style is. That is literaly all that I will be spoiled so I will really have a fun time with descovering what the game has to offer.

Man, I gotta get Black 2 within the next couple months.

 

[Nocturnowl]

octillery is goddamned amazing and don't you forget it

My favourite pure water type, that gimmicky moveset just makes things better.

 

[StickSoldier]

Why do I have a (bad) feeling that it's not going to be a mainline game?

There's a good chance that it's not, but I find it hard to believe that it's not going to be something big as they have a Direct just for the occasion. I truly hope it's a new gen though!

 

[Hot Coldman]

octillery is goddamned amazing and don't you forget it

Finally, some real talk.

FUCK YO FIRE

 

[Darryl]

The Pokémon Rainbow rumor is very interesting. I think it's quite plausible, actually.

Normally, I'd dismiss such a rumor as bull, but I think this may be just the type of Pokémon game that Nintendo needs to release right now. We're in a weird situation where, coming right off of Black 2 & White 2, it's still too soon for Generation 6, but there really needs to be a new Pokémon game for 3DS. While they could make Ruby/Sapphire remakes on 3DS, it would be really odd starting off the next generation with a remake game, and even more odd if it was still Generation 5 but on the 3DS with a brand new engine and visuals and everything.

But with this—not quite remake, not quite entirely new game; not quite Generation 5, not quite Generation 6—effectively, a Generation 5.5 game, I think it's exactly what needs to be released. What else are they going to do, really? Any other option just seems to soon, or too out of place. This seems like the perfect bridge game before Generation 6.

yea, i agree. it just makes too much sense for them to not do. they've created too many areas with too many pokemon. it's a very confusing franchise. a game stitching all 4 of the first generations series - effectively leaving the black and white franchise (with it's obvious future sequels) as the only outliers will make the entire series easy for anyone to get into. if they continued at the pace they're going, they'll keep shrinking their user base.

I like the cutesy legendaries more

 

[Aaron Strife]

The original 150 are so well known that even the most forgettable of them would be remembered by most gamers.

Same to a lesser extent with the Johto set. Hoenn has the highest number of meh pokemon.

 

[clemenx]

I say Grumpig and Swalot as forgettable ones.

I actually had to look up Swalot's name

 

[AdventureRacing]

I like the cutesy legendaries more

This just reminds me that there are way too many shitty legendary pokemon. I'm not sure i really like any after the first game and there is just so many now that 'legendary' just doesn't feel like an accurate description.
