Pokémon Black & White

Post by Sugami »

The bad news is Brock is not in it :( Dawn isn't either but considering she's the female trainer from Diamond and Pearl it was pretty obvious she wouldn't stay around. Instead Ash is being accompanied by Iris (gym "leader" of the last gym on the white version) and Cilan (one of the gym leaders of the first gym who has a Pansage). Iris is easily my least favourite female companion Ash has had to date, Cilan's okay but he's no Brock. Black and White (male and female trainers from the game) haven't made an appearance yet, Ash's new rival seems to be a completely new character but Bianca has made an appearance. She looks older than Misty, May & Dawn, makes me think Black & White start older than Ash (Red/Blue). Shame Bianca doesn't stay with Ash, she'd make a much more interesting character than Iris.

So how do you make it so that Pikachu goes from beating or at least going toe-to-toe with high level pokemon in the league to getting beaten by starter pokemon in a new region? Either this new region is that much harder than the last one or Pikachu suddenly dropped in level a whole lot. Guess it's unavoidable or it'd be too easy for Ash :P

Team Rocket have a new outfit, all black and grey now instead of white. On top of which they're actually being quite useful and their boss is actually giving them proper missions. They seem to be encountering "the twirps" less and doing more secretive stuff, maybe Team Rocket (as a whole) will actually do something in this series. Team Plasma have yet to make an appearance.

Also there seems to be a bit more CG for pokemon battles.
