    I just need to see the new evos for old Pokemon.

    I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that the new heart-fish thingy was Luvdisc's evo. I still don't think I'll be using it all that much =P

    Whether Black and White will actually be good is still up in the air, but I'll be damned if Masuda isn't the smartest guy on the entire Gamefreak staff.

    Quote:
     
    Part 1: Making The Second Main Series Game on the DS
    Masuda says he always wanted to make 2 titles for the DS (Being Gens 4 and 5), especially because the DS is so popular worldwide. There were very aware that having a second title on DS could mean the games would feel the same, and have done their best to avoid that with these games.
    He realised ideas like "Go to a Pokemon Centre and trade" were fixed in his mind and did his best to break them down, because he's been working on the games since the start. They took this as an oppurtunity to re-evaluate rules and systems in the game.

    They wanted to make the games more accessible to older players to lower the number of people who were "growing out" of Pokemon. Stuff like adding Kanji to make it easier to read.

    The producer of the games (Iwahara (?)), was very happy when Masuda suggest all these radical changes to the games. He says even he had the idea that each generation of Pokemon games had to come out on a different system, but because of the DS's long life and popularity worldwide he was glad for the freedom that creating on the same platform gave them. Iwahara, who Iwata calls a 'veteran' of the series thought "Can it be changed that much? Can we really pull it off" when Masuda told him of the changes that he wanted.

    Sugimori thought Masuda's suggestions were a bit crazy. When he was told all the Pokemon would be new he said "Gimme a break! Couldn't we lower the number a bit?" but Masuda refused to budge. Iwata comments that Masuda is stubborn, and Masuda agrees.

    Part 2: The Brand New World of Pokemon
    Sugimori said he was resistant to Masuda's ideas, but also says that he knew Masuda was not mistaken. There were around 200 pages of planning sheets for new features, explaining exactly what crossing a bridge would mean, or how we'd show the player going into someone else's game world. They didn't do it with DP this way, in fact this is the first time they have. This was to do with all the new challenges they were facing with these games. Once again, they confirm that they used New York as a motif. This was primarily to fulfill the goal of giving these games a new feel, and also so he could have a concert there (like they do in Japan in the region where the games are based off, using music from the relevant games. Apparently), but it might be impossible this time. After deciding this they began deciding where to place towns etc. In doing so they visited the Museum of Modern Art.

    Out of respect for those that want to keep things a secret, I've put this FUCKING KICK ASS NEWS into Spoilers.

    "Pokémon Black & White - Exclusive Brand New Information

    As I have been given the go ahead to reveal this information, I figured I'd let you know about it. Like before when I've posted exclusive information prior to game release, there is a chance that things will have changed from when I got the information up to release so things may not come exactly to pass, but as usual, other bits of information that I have been told have turned out to be accurate. Out of respect for those who wish to be surprised, I have stuck the information within a spoiler tag so only check if you want to see it"

    OMG, PURE FUCKING FLYING POKEMON.

    And jesus christ, lots of legendaries.

    (Temporarily closed. ...Gwaargh!) *doo wee doo wee doo*

    http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/leaked-black-and-white-pokemon-information

    There's the full-ish list, documenting everything known thus far from all this, including descriptions of not yet pictured Pokes. Two legendary trios?!

    # 546 and 547 are my favorites of the new, but then again, their pictures are only fanart from vague sprites. I can't wait to see the offical art for them.

    Also, I'm kinda surprised that the fire starter's last form is Fire/Fighting. That's the 3rd gen in a row! But it's nice to see that the Grass and Water stay single types :>

    Speaking of the starters, it was interesting to read about their inspirations, as well as a bunch of other Pokemon -

    http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations

    The final grass one is supposed to have a Western flair, the fire is Chinese, and the water final is Japanese. They actually visit zoos and aquariums and such for animal anatomy studies and Pokemon inspirations!



    EDIT - Also Angel, apparently there are no evos of old Pokemon. I kinda like that idea, but how can that Luvdisc-looking thing not be an evo? :s

    That is some incredible info. I never knew pokebeach had so much information.

    Too bad about nothing old getting a new evolution. But what can you do =\ ?

    This new gen is shaping up to be fantastic.

    Lots of interesting new ones. Such a shame that the fire starter is part fighting. AGAIN.

    They really could've done something about that. And just looking at him, I can already tell Infernape outclasses him =P

    They are just having trouble trying to come up with a fire starter better than Charizard.
    Holy Crap I'm old :(

    For me, Charizard was better. But I still like Typhlosion. They're both cool to me.

    But so are Blaziken and Infernape ... Heck, I like em' all =P

    Blaziken is my third most favourite Pokemon (excluding Legendaries) after Charizard and Typhlosion.
