I guess they ran out of ideas for stones and colors to name the games after. Still, a sequel is welcome! what do you all think?

I will be getting. Give me this game. Nao.

Is it me, or does the Heroine look like Princess Leia in the hair? At least in the smallest bit?

I was thinking more along the lines of Sailor Moon. In fact, there's a few pieces of fanart depicting her dressed in a typical Sailor Moon outfit.

I'll let TMIMITW speak for me on this one.

So, what is Sailor Moon...?

Sailor Moon is an manga and anime from the '90s. I don't know how you couldn't be aware of it. I don't even really like it and I know a bit about it.

What else would you names these two games, though? They aren't the typical "set in the same universe but a different region" or the "3rd version that just changes up a few things and focuses on a different Legendary" games.

Certainly a lot more interesting than "Pokemon Gray" people were predicting.

I want a pokemon game with EVERY region and EVERY pokemon, every trainer, every Gym, EVERYTHING thrown together, revamped, and have it made into a MMORPG.

I'd like to see it happen, don't get me wrong. But it's just so...impossible. To actually have everything in one game, they'd either need to stop making the individual games, or have massive content updates with the release of each new version, which diminishes the incentive to buy them.

But what about a brand new game? I mean, you'll be able to travel from region to region, make progress in each one, catch any wild up to legendary pokemon in each, and whatever region you choose to start off in, that's were you came from. You get to choose any one starter pokemon. It's such an expendable idea. They would need to flush out the leveling system greately though, or make it to were you can only have certain pokemon in certain areas. The Idea is flawed for the way the leveling system would have to work when coupled with how freely you can travel, but find a way to work out the kinks, and it'd be great!

I think by the time you'd get through two regions (FULL regions, not like GSC's Kanto) your original Pokemon team would max out in levels, which would mean the other 3 regions are all maxed out (killing the whole 'growth' aspect of the game) or would have to "reset" each time... which is basically like having all the games separately. Or each region would only go up, like, 20 levels.
Or it'd be a completely different type of game.

With how compatible the games are, you CAN technically go from one region to the next, though not in one cartridge and you can't go "back" after certain transfers:
FRLG (Kanto) <--> RSE (Hoenn) --> DPPt (Sinnoh) <--> HGSS (Johto/Kanto again) --> BW (Unova)

I would love to see a Pokemon MMORPG, but I doubt very seriously they would put every single region into it. If they did, it would be another STO. High priced disk and a high priced subscription.

Anyway, does this mean that the first town you start in will not have a Professor Lab? The Professor Lab is in Nuvuema (I don't know how to spell it) Town, and that town is frozen!

Lemme guess, $60 for the disk, $15 a month for subscriptions? That's not high priced, that's average. Plus, STO (I'm assuming you mean Star Trek Online) is free-to-play so, yeah.

It's not unheard of, the starting town in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum didn't have a Professor Lab.

Naaah. Subscription MMORPGs make TONS of cash. And it's Pokemon.

Though I'd like the MMO idea if legendaries were instance bosses rather than capturable.

Well, it's Pokemon. I suppose they're talking about the kinds of things you'd usually hear in the anime. Gonna defeat you, you'll never win, holy hell why did your Emboar just try to set me on fire, that kind of thing.

It wasn't always like that. It seems they lowered their prices by a long shot.

What Star Trek Online's original prices were, was $50 for the Disk, then $30 monthly annual fee and about $200 for the yearly and about $400 lifetime subscription.*

*All of these are approximates. They could be lower or higher. I am pulling this from memory.

Those new forms look like they fused with that legendary ice dragon pokemon. Possible? I mean, Iv'e never known a legendary to evolve before, but to fuse together into a greater form? I can see that.

The reason they both look like Kyurem is because they both are Kyurem. Just different variations. Apparently it has something to do with receiving power from Reshiram and Zekrom but nothing's really been confirmed yet.

They sort of hinted at that in the last game didnt they? Like "He had awesome power, but his shell cracked, and his body froze..." Or something to that level.

Notice in Black 2 it has Zekrom and in White 2 it has Reshiram. In Black, N has Zekrom/Reshiram and later escapes with it for lands unseen. Could what was left of Plasma or perhaps even Team Rocket done some weird Mewtwo-esque experiment with N's Zekrom/Reshiram?
