They edited multiple mistakes out of that article. I'm not sure who vetted that feature as there are no names on it, but there were definitely major errors.

Errors or broken embargoes?

This could be interesting; No Gray version?

Quote

Historically, each generation games have added a third cartridge that certain developments, if Yellow / Crystal / Emerald / Platinum. Then asked a hypothetical issue "Gray" and if he would appear in 3DS. Ibe has been against the idea, saying "Not at all. We finished this comes with Black and White version." To honor its words, is this the only generation of this series without further editing.

Stratos · « **Reply #278 on:** February 12, 2011, 05:37:49 PM »

Maybe they won't do a grey version because Nintendo would rather they start right away on the first generation of games to release on 3DS? Though a Grey version would be pure money even with minor changes because you know a million people would buy it anyways.

Well that is certainly interesting. But it begs the question, what about Dream World Black and White Pokemon? I guess they can just slowly get released later, but as of now not a single Black and White monster can be accessed with it's dream world ability.

Maybe this supposed Wii game will be our "gray" version(ultra hyper unlikely) and may grant access to dream world 5th gen pokemon.

To really take advantage of the 3DS's capabilities would take a lot of effort, and I'll bet they want to be able to play it up more than they could with another iteration of Black and White. If they really went all out, though, it'd be awesome if Gray were the Cave Story 3D to Black and White's WiiWare/DSiWare version: the same basic game, but totally revamped visually.

After thinking about it, I think the quote is a red herring personally.

There's already a contingent who say "I'll wait for the 3rd version", so why not spread some FUD about a 3rd version not being in existence and see if you can get them to double-dip in 2012 or whenever? Plus, B/W haven't even released in NA/Europe yet. Why subject the 2nd best selling series in history to the Osborne effect when you don't have to?

And we all know how much Nintendo and their related companies deny until the cows come home.

Applauded for not being afraid to piss off the site director.

Everyone from New Jersey is pissed off at everyone else 24/7 anyway... right?

According to Jersey Shore, yes.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #287 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:16:34 PM »

So hyped for this game. I've been breeding and training Pokemon like crazy in Heart Gold to get them ready to breed their moves into these new monsters. As of today I put down 503 Hours in Heart Gold, last time I did that was Pokemon Yellow, and the moment I hit 500 hours then, the next time I turned on the game it was erased.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #288 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:35:17 PM »

I've been getting the urge to play Pokemon lately. I have HeartGold and have played a bit of it, but not nearly all of it. Are Black/White enough of an improvement of the series that I should get one of them or should I stick with what I've got?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #289 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:11:09 PM »

I say go for the new game, visually it is just so much more appealing. And then if you get Pokehooked all over again like I did you will run back to Heart Gold to get move combinations you can't get in Black or White.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #290 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:23:36 PM »

Which version is everyone getting? I'm almost ready to take the plunge, and am trying to decide for myself.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #291 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:46:16 PM »

Probably Black. This time there is more than just different Pokemon (each one has their own location in the region). No specific reason. I have a feeling it will be the leading version in sales (one version always does better than the other, and I have always bought the one that ended up leading).

Thought I saw a Celebi give-away poster at GameStop the other day. Is this a pre-order thing or can I go get Celebi on HeartGold?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #293 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:57:44 PM »

It's for any of the Generation IV games. Getting it will let you unlock a special event in HeartGold and SoulSilver that lets you battle Giovanni (by taking the Celebi to the shrine in Ilex Forest). If you transfer it to Black/White, you will get a Zorua. The giveaway only lasts until March 6 though.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #294 on:** March 01, 2011, 03:08:32 PM »

Well, I just ordered the game (White version). In case anyone's on the fence, there's a $10 Amazon credit on it right now.

Shaymin · « **Reply #295 on:** March 01, 2011, 05:46:58 PM »

If you're a crazy obsessive who buys both and Kmart still exists for you, they're offering Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off for buying both versions. That's $15 off...

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #296 on:** March 01, 2011, 05:49:31 PM »

My sister is interested in the games, maybe I could convince her to split the cost with me and save us both money.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #297 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:25:51 AM »

Great Pokemon interview over at IGN.

They ask about there potentially being too many Pokemon which is a question I always wondered about. I could have a thousand and be happy. No one could ever prepare for everything!

Brand new black and white theme. Sung by the Presidents of the USA.

That's not nearly as entertaining as Weird Al's "Polkamon" tune. I generally like the President's of the United States of America too...
