At the very least, throw me a PM if theres an update.

But in regards to discussion:

The McDonalds looks amazing, it would be awesome if America did things like that, but alas...
It wouldn't be the first time some people have received their games early, my friend Dong (yes thats his real name) received his Halo 3 from the mail 4 days before it was on the street

Alright from this post on I'll start sending you PM's,
1 thing though i got the time wrong and the pokemon sunday special is tonight at 6PM EST not 4AM ( i have no idea how i got the two mixed up)

Also play-asia is still preparing the orders for those who brought from them , it is believed that they won't ship the games till tomorrow (since thats the official release date)

1 day 17 hours to go

Someone who got their copy early was nice enough to post pictures of the booklet, in particularly Gym Leaders!
Iris, the girl who joins Ash in Best Wishes is the Final Gym Leader!
WHAT A TWIST!

 

EDIT:
In an odd twist of fate there are TWO final gym leaders: Iris and a man named Shaga as seen here:

 

It appears Shaga is the final gym leader in White version, and Iris is the final gym leader in Black version as seen here

 

also:

EDIT:

sweet video. The whole opening to pokemon white it is sweet!!

just 1 more little piece of info

The trio monkeys are not able to be caught in either game. You can get one before your first battle with Dento/Pod/Koon. The one you can catch is the one that is STRONG against the gym leader's monkey.

this to me is sad :( I really wanted yanappu but since i'm choosing mijumaru i won't be able to which means the only way if you want the other monkeys is you have to trade

Update: You can check out all the pokemon for this generation here

WATER GHOST! And a turtle! Electric ground :o

FIRE WATER!

I more prefer the Ghost/Fire and Grass/Steel

...I am slightly disappoint in some though

...and the ice types, all 3 of them, just make me sad

[Kate]

Wow.. The legends are TERRIBLE.. I only like Reshiram, Zekrom, and Keruido.

ALSO! Why is Pokabu's evolutions the only one to get two types? I think it should of just been Grass, Fire, and Water. No second types.

And, Jubi, I agree. The ice types disappointed me this generation..

Overall, I am disappointed with the Pokemon in this one.

Seeing how Nintendo is on the legal bandwagon, an despite Black and White hitting a record 1 million (if not more) sale record. I took down the images of Black and White ahead of time to avoid Isshus.

But I was able to update the front page with Black and White's Pokedex listings.

But onto the serious topic, and I will forever scorned for this, but I think this is by far.... the best Generation yet... o_o

I mean, Sinnoh looked silly when it first came out, i think once you take a few looks over the designs again.... and again... thy're really not bad. Quite frankly The only Pokemon I have trouble with are the 3 genie-pig looking Pokemon.

[Kate]

I have trouble with a lot of them. I mean, some aren't that bad. Legends, as you know, I'm very disappointed in. To me, probably the worst legends in all of the five generations. On the positive side, I like Hitomoshi and its evolutions. Probably one I would like to keep in my party for a while.

I like most of them, and I like that there are no old pokemon til after you finish the game. They should stick with that for future gens, it makes each game feel fresh and new.

I'm already pre-building a team:

From left to right:
1 - Fire/Fighting
2 - Rock/Ground
3 - Flying/Psychic
4 - Water/Ground
5 - Steel/Dark
6 - Dragon/Electric

Isn't the turtle water rock?

Yes he is,
and I prefer the Holy Rock Raptor Jesus Bird myself...

No you do not. It will be a NDS game not a 3DS game... Also... I haven't played Pokemon in years but Heart Gold and Soul Silver started to drag me back in, and it looks like Black and White has completely sucked me back in... My name is Julian Clark and I'm getting Pokemon White when it comes out... My first Pokemon game since 2000 XD. I can't wait to get back in the swing of things... *Curls up into a ball from giddiness*

I beat the game , a little over a week ago, and it was great. I won't spoil anything. There is plenty to do after game, and since there is no vs. seeker there are certain areas in the game which have trainers you can re battle daily.
The random Wi-fi matches are great, are you can really learn alot from other players by doing so. I'd give white a 9.9 / 10 for 1 reason only. In the black version there is a shop where you can buy almost every type of evolutionary stone YET they removed that in the white verison which is just bizzare and is way to unfair IMO. and is too huge of a difference to go un-noticed

Also Soundbreaker not to burst your bubble but with your team you better make sure you have filler pokemon until you reach where you can get your pokemon cause some of them you can't obtain till late in the game, or they are only obtainable via trading or they are really rare to find. (I won't say which ones to stop spoils)

Also in japan on November 20th there released pokemon black and white DSi its just the DSi with reshieram and zekrom on them and comes with a copy of black or white (Depending on which Dsi you choose) its gonna cost 19,800 yen or 240 USD (this is just the translated price no official price as of yet). And its suppose to come out Spring 2011 everywhere else. Now this is not smart at all on nintendos part. They have the 3DS coming out in feburary which is gonna cost 300 dollars. Now by releaseing another DSi around the same time on year is just insane and will probably hurt the sales.

Also the Pokemon-gl.com is amazing, currently at this post the dream world feature isn't up but right now you can download skins for your C-gear which is amazing

Well if soundbreaker is promoting his team, then I shall too


#1: Grass
#2: Electric
#3: Ghost/Fire
#4: Rock/Flying
#5: Electric/Bug
#6: Dark/Dragon

Zero's is quite similar to mine...
I gave them their own names...Since I think they are more fun this way.

#1 - You're Looking Good, Just Like a Snake in the Grass...One of these Days You're going to Break New Glass

#2 - Holy Rock Raptor Jesus Bird -(He is my favorite so far...MVP of my E4 run through fo sho)

#3 - Blue Karate Man

#4 - Ghost Chandelier With Purple Fire

#5 - Sarcophagus Ghost Man Who Turns Out to Not be Half Rock...

#6 - Grass Queen Lady (Although I played through Black first...I am getting White when it comes out over stateside...the cottonball is lame -_-)


...Also, Hypno Beaver or some kind of Chipmunk was my HM Slave.

[Toonpenguin]

This was the team i used for the main game play (includes pokemon i later replaced 0

1) Mijumaru /evolution forms
2) Tabunne
3)Boappu/ Replaced later on with darumkka/ replaced later on by Hitmoshi
4)Churine + evolution Doderia (I highly recommend Doderia to anyone who does not choose tsuaja as there starter and who has white )
5)BaniPuuchi + Evolutions
6)Nageki/ Replaced later on by ShinPora(Death Fighter)/ replaced by washibon (HM slave + death fighter)


So for the most of the game i really only 5 pokemon since the 6th pokemon was usually a HM slave/ death fighter
Also Washibon + Wargle are exlusive to white just thought i'd add that in.



@Jubi you can get Churine and its evoution Doderia after game. I'll send you a PM so that i don't spoil it on the forums
