After some thoguht, I've decided that Pokemon is an irrepressibly happy children's game and I've been playing it far too mechanically. So I've decided to play White 2 to the end... with Sunkern.

No, I'm not going to evolve it. Hooray for the underdog!

Aww yiss, can’t wait to move the dream team to the future.

How much difference is there between HG/SS and B/W? I can’t imagine it being a massive leap forward, but hey who knows?

Yeah.

My copy of Black version arrived today.

Is there anything I absolutely need to know before I start? Like anything really crazy that might screw me over if I don’t know it’s coming, like a legendary with only one encounter or some batshit?

Try not to get too used to animated sprites, it made it harder for me to enjoy the others.

The game is quite challenging I found. The levels of the wild and trainer's Pokemon increase very quickly so I would grind a lot.

You will encounter Reshiram near the end of the game and there is only one. So save before you encounter it. They're others but those are after you've done the Elite Four.

Also almost all of the Pokemon look fucking retarded. :tard: However they're a handful of really awesome looking ones. Cofagrigus for example looks amazing.

E: That is so true and It's only going to get worse, since X and Y have fully animated models.

I thought it was pretty much required to catch Reshiram/Zekrom. I haven't played in awhile, but I distinctly remember you having to catch them in order to continue with the plot.

Black and White actually prove to be a challenge at times, making it so wild pokemon can fuck your shit up. I suggest going for shaking patches of grass early on whenever you spot them because they usually contain Audino and they're perfect for level grinding.

Also Crashpunk you shit the gen 5 pokemon look just as good as any other gen of pokemon. Psst Manco get Scraggy you won't regret it

Come on, man, it's Vector the Crocodile in a burglar mask.

I really liked Bisharp's design.

Pawniard was better.

I also like this lot.

So glad they finally made a cyanobacterium Pokemon.

This looks more like a Digimon to me.

I thought it looked more like something out of Megaman at first.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Oh God when Solosis finally becomes a Reuniclus it fucking destroys. Somewhat bulky with relatively high special attack. Him and Chandelure are my double battle babies because they both destroy everything.

and everybody shush bisharp looks great

you pick possibly the worst of a bunch to represent a whole generation

i actually think gen 5 had some sweet designs. in comparison to gen 4 though, it's always gonna look awesome.

can I leave this here too?

+1 ren for beating me to the catch.

Also fuck off. Garbodor is the shit.

Thing's a bitch when it knows Toxic

My favourites were always Seviper and Kakuna.

At least Muk looks like...Muck. :D

And Garbodor looks like fucking garbage. If you're going to bag on the designs of a new gen pokemon, pick one that's actually poorly designed, dude. Garbador is a pretty solid design no matter how much you dislike its general appearance.

Actually,

Pawniard still looks more Pokemon-y.

You have to admit a lot of newer-gen Pokemon look like robots.

Like there's all kinda antennae and metal plates stuck all over their shit.

Magnemite says hello

Magnemite didn't look like a robot, more like a misplaced electrical component.

Status report: I’m currently rocking a Snivy, a Lillipup, a Patrat and a Purrloin.

Lillipup owns bones.

Watchog is very good, keep the Patrat
liepard is kinda shit though
