18 days to BW + Attack Combination

Created by SpikeBall

Created by SpikeBall

EDIT @ 4:53 CDT - Added picture from PxP

Very sorry for the delay, but I have lately been swamped with school work.

As the DPP era comes to it´s end and the era to BW begins transitioning, it is likely to be a lot of information being revealed in small batches, such as for today, where a new battle feature was revealed.

Such battle feature is to be called Attack Combination, and was revealed via a tweet earlier today.
The way in which it works is simple: When 2 attacks are used in a certain order, they trigger a special effect. Three examples where given: Using Grass Oath and then using Fire Oath creates a fire, that damages every turn. Using Fire Oath and then using Water Oath generates a rainbow that increases the likelihood of added effects happening. Finally, Using Grass Oath and then using Water Oath generates a marshy field that cuts your opponent´s attack.

This added feature Makes BW even more interesting, as a lot of new possibilities and strategies are open.

ps- As some of you have noticed there are actually 19 days to September 18, however, do remember Japan is 14 hour ahead of us :D

ps- Victory Star will open on September 1st!

21 days to BW + Victory Star project!

Created by V Generation V

Nothing new has surfaced lately, and in anticipation to the big news rushes ahead of us, I´ve created several new meters.

Firstly, A CoroCoro leak-o-meter to countdown to it´s expected leak on September 11 (yeah, 9/11, a very mixed-feelings date).

Created by SpikeBall

Secondly, I would like to announce, that for the last days, I´ve been working on a "secret" project, Victory Star. Await future information. However, I´ll tell you, this project is aiming into transforming the 60 visits /V/ Generation /V/ gets to at least 500 visits per day, and for such, I´d like to welcome Victory, whom is head of the Victory Star project

22 days to BW! + A lot of information!

Created by V Generation V

A few days after BW are released in Japan, the offical soundtrack will be released. Such OST contains 168 tracks. - This is big news! If you count music for wild battles, rival battles, gyms, Elite four, and 10 cities, 2 towns and about 20 routes, you are left with 140 "blank soundtracks" that belong to the Pokémon voices! - Hence revealing the ammount of pokémon to be in Isshu around 140.

Additionaly, a bunch of exciting changes will be made on the Best Wishes saga (however as you know, I don´t cover animé here, so if you want to checkout videos and images, click here to go to Serebii.Net.

I can´t wait for September 18!

23 days to BW + more speculation

Created by V Generation V

As predicted by many, news have gone to sleep. It is highly likely nothing new will be leaked or obtained until september, except for my Oha Suta prediction to air either tomorrow or on Friday, speculation and rumor is as far as it´ll go.

For today there are rumours! (AYK, this aren´t confirmed for obvious reasons)

1.- The Pokémon league isn´t preceeded by victory road, but rather, it stands after Victory Mountain.

2.- There aren´t any evolutions/prevos of old pokémon.

3.- Reshiram´s ability, Turbo blaze, increases the likelyhood of a Pokémon being burned, and Zekrom´s ability, Terra Voltaje, Allows him to lay neutral damage to ground Pokémon with electric attacks.

24 days to BW! - BW design done

Created by V Generation V

In a manner as reported previously by other websites, BW have surpassed 1 million preorders. Also, by this time, and in expectation of such demand, production of the TWL title must begin inmmediately, and consequently, design is over and debug is almost over also.

Now, you must be wondering, how does this matter? The answer is simple, as the game goes into build, GF + Nintendo are going to focus their efforts on something other than design or debug, marketing! Which henceforth means we may begin seeing a wave of new Pokémon/screenshots/information soon!.

¶Spike

ps- I know this isn´t the biggest news on the planet, but I promised to update everyday :P

25 days to BW!

Created by V Generation V

Since nothing new is out, It´s time to speculate (remember this is justified speculation, as opposed to random speculation)

Dento actually owns Yanappu, however, his gym isn´t based on grass, in fact gyms aren´t monotype anymore, instead, they revolve around strategy (sunny day, etc.).
Mamanbou is not related to luvdisc at all.

I´m really sorry that nothing is out, but there should be some news around the end of the week on Oha Suta.

¶Spike
p.s- a front sprite of Yanappu was published on the PSO site, click here for it.

26 Days to BW!

Created for V Generation V

With Yanappu revealed yesterday, I have updated the regular pre-release poster with him, and have also created an "alternate version poster" with bigger images. (BTW the images are aligned in the four batches they have been revealed wihtin, exceptfor Vikutini (May is line 1, June is line 2, July is line 3 and August is line 4)

ps- This is my 25th post!

27 days to BW and new Pokémon

Created for V Generation V

Pokémon Sunday just finished airing and revealed a new Pokémon. For those of you who are interested, the crew played a tournament using PBR and the winner got to reveal a new Pokémon.

EDIT @ 6:48 CDT - IMAGE CROPPED AND IN HIGHER QUALITY., the other file is left here so as to not have issues of me stealing the news.

EDIT @ 7:11 CDT - Apparently I was mistaken here. Acrobat is actually an attack, that allows you to hit a Pokémon you normally couldn´t hit due to it´s position in triple battles. I apologise for the mistake, however I don´t know much Japanese, and when the guy said "acrobat", I actually thought It was the species, and I disregarded completely the battle scene. Sorry!

Yanappu

28 days to BW!

Nothing new really, so It´s time to speculate! (based on facts rather than on imagination).

So, Chiramii has only got one evolution, kibago has two, Mamepato has two, Meguroco has one, Miruhoggu doesn´t evolve, Musharna evolves once more.

I´m based for both Chiramii evolves only once and Miruhoggu doesn´t evolve because their previous generation clones don´t (Bidoof, Rattata,Zigzagoon). Meguroco is imo based somewhat around Hippopotas (which evolves just once) Mamepato has to evolve twice, because it´s rumored first evolution, Hatooboo doesn´t look like a final form to me.

¶Spike

ps- I am suspecting news to come over the weekend, so as usual, check back!

New Pokémon? and 29 Days to BW!

SPMB may very well deserve to be crowned as a Master Reporter, as because today, they recorded what they call the "opening" imo, that deosn´t look much like an opening because It really was short, but who knows?, maybe that´s the opening. It shows Ononokusu´s back sprite and more importantly, a couple of new pokémon and confirmation for Tabunne (yes, yesterday´s speculation was messed up).

This one looks like a bird?, maybe a dog? or something else (the green thing is a duck?)

Ononokusu´s back sprite:

ps- don´t forget to go to their page to watch the video!

Site news & more studies!

Until now, I was very proud of not having to rely on publicity, however, i´m planning big things here and I am going to need some funds, so I´ll have to place ads throughout the blog. Please note that I only get money if the ads are clicked, so I really would appreciate if you guys could help me out that way.

As a little additional information, looking and viewing with detail the following image, which surfaced some time ago, I can tell you that Tabunne may be a fake (Shikijika is at level 20 as opposed to level 25 which the demo is held). But, if true and correct, then It can be confirmed that Pokabu can learn a poison type move. This signals 2 things: Either the move is a generic one such as Acid Armor which many pokémon can learn or It means Pokabu´s evolution is poison type!.

30 days to BW!

In one month, my brain will finally get some rest. For today, I´ve found edited and clear versions of both the wild pokémon battle theme and for rival battles. Both are very short, however they are well done.

You can find both videos at SPMB.

BTW, yes as everyone knows by now, Guardian Signs will be released on October 4th and Poképark on November 1st.

¶Spike

p.s- It still is very early today, and I may update later.

31 days to BW!

For today, a little information speculated into a reality.

In one of the many interviews GF (GAME FREAK) did about HGSS, he stated that he had been working on them for three years, and since they where released in fall of 2009, It explains why there isn´t much of a graphic improvement from DP. However, it does leave us to conclude something far more important: As many other Pokémon websites announced sometime in February, GF had the 3DS development kit. And since the average time it takes to develop a game is two years, we can directly conclude that BW will be the last DS Mainstream games and that all future games will be on the 3DS.

Some people speculate that there´ll be a 3DS version for BW, however I don´t think It would have much success as because by the time it´s released, everyone will have already based all their Pokémon on BW.

¶Spike

ps- Apparently none of the files I uploaded yesterday got uploaded. I´ll fix this.

EDIT@ 13:24 The documents are uploading slowly. I don´t like the quality they´re, however.

Site roundup

As I promised yesterday, I´ve rounded up everything that went on while I was out.

First, the pokémon missing from the poster for the contest was Zorua. Of the 62 people who answered correctly the winner was randomly selected and turned out to be Vincent, whose email begins with lat009.... has been emailed with instructions to select one of the three pokémon.

Second, with all the new artworks revealed, I have updated the poster with 4 new pokemon. (don´t forget you can download it and use it for whatever you want).

New BW Poster

Third, with everything revealed, I have been able to advance greatly on the Isshu Region project

Finally, All the news and changes to the metagame have been compiled into another document.

As I return to the site, you can once again check back here regularly (remember there´s something new everyday!)

¶Spike

ps- the files are being converted and adapted to a Scribd format. they´ll show up once all the conversion is done. (It shouldn´t take over one hour)

Yikes!!

My greatest apologies. I was away for a week and was unable to cover news and stuff for the site. Tomorrow, I´ll throw in a massive update to contain everything I´ve missed including the contests, projects and news roundups.

¶Spike

ps- Missed the internet. lol

What pokemon is missing from the poster?

BW Poster Preliminary

¶Spike

Expecting leaks!

I am so deeply excited for this month´s corocoro, that I have decided not to sleep today! I´ll be searching far across, every possible place I can until I fin something.

Maybe it´s just me, but every time, CoroCoro takes more time to leak. Previously It leaked as early as a week before official release, but recently it has taken longer.

Right now, it is early morning in Japan, so I don´t expect any scans to leak/surface until late night (mid-day in Japan).

¶Spike

ps- I´m still working on the project, don´t dare think I´ve forgotten it.

EDIT***** Now that I realize, A LOT of information will be obtained within the weekend, and I have also found evidence to lead to belief that we will not get Coro Coro today, but will tomorrow.

Sadly, Nothing.

This post will apparently end the whole streak of news that have been going on for five days, however I do trust that we´ll get something tomorrow.

¶Spike

ps- Expect another project for Saturday.

Even more BW footage

Today, legendarypokemon.net somehow got an exclusive video featuring Shikijika in a Battle with Chiramii.

It is interesting to note that we can learn the following from the video:
Shikijika uses Energy Ball - This could indicate it being the grass type.
Shikijika´s lowest stat is Special Defense.
One of Munna´s strengths is Special Defense.

Again, credit to legendarypokemon.net



lol, news can´t stop! ¶Spike

Team Plasma Leader/Admin revealed!

Last night, a BW ad aired in Japan. Although the ad didn´t show any significant details, ir revealed a front sprite for mogruyu around minute 0:21 and a Team Plasma leader/admin around minute 0:17

Pokédex Update #2 & Tsutarja adapted Evo!

Last night I gave the finishing touches to the preliminary pokédex. As I tried to comply it, I found an adapted version of tsutarjas evolution. also, do remember that the pokédex only contains pokémon whose numbers are confirmed.

EDIT***** HERE IT IS

ISSHU_POKEDEX_updated

¶Spike

p.s- Has anyone heard an adapted version of the trainer battle theme? This one is awesome.
My favourite part starts around 0:40.

Even more fakes!

A few moments ago, this image began circling the internet.
Although the ingame images are quite impressive, and the detail in the Artwork, the style just doesn´t match Ken Sugimori´s. Besides, The layout and manner in which the pokemon are displayed isn´t the CoroCoro style. However, the real magazine may leak at any moment so stay tuned.

Fake 2

¶Spike

Starter Speculation

Today, I was thinking about the starters. I thought that Tsutarja is very much like Infernape, Pokabu is somewhat like Swampert and Mijumaru is something like Blastoise. While I searched, I found several noteworthy fakemon. I thought I´d share them.

What do you think?

BW-FAKE

P.s I expect CoroCoro to leak near the weekend, so stay tuned.

P.p.s With the new Pokémon revealed today, I updated the poster.
Check it out:

Second Poster

¶Spike

The new pokémon...

This is not a news site, however when it comes to new pokémon or black/white  details, it´s bound to be posted here.


First off, the deer pokémon, Shinjaka

The as of now un-named swan,

The new worm pokémon,

The artwork for Aroe and the other guy,

I think the pokémon look cool. The characters, not so much.

¶Spike

Second project!!!

Another project im working on is a full Isshu Pokédex.

Some people say there will be 150 Pokémon, however rumours say that there could well be over 200.

IDK who to believe, so I created a Pokédex consisting of 160+ slots. If you ckeck it out, you´ll notice that a lot of Pokémon are missing. In fact, the pokédex only contains 5 Pokémon. This is because this version can´t be altered (iow, I am not able to add new pages to it).

While I give the finishing touches to it, it will appear with only one pokémon, by August 10, it shall be fully updated.

Full Isshu Pokédex

New Info.

After watching the video of the demo, I have identified the zone, the one in Which it rains, as Spiral Tower. And after doing some research on the web, it turns out that there is a legendary living there.

Since there are low level pokemon, The Spiral Tower may is somewhere near the beginning of the game.

 ¶Spike

Isshu Project

One of the many projects on whichi am involved include a project to "decipher" the isshu region.
I have completed the first phase of it. As of now, the project comprises 3 pages.


Check it out:

Isshu(1-4)

FIRST THING(s)

So... Before posting one of my projects, I decided to make this poster.
There isn´t anything special about it, but it contains almost every pokemon revealed so far.
Only 46 days for the full pokédex & more.

Done.

So... yeah. I´ve finally decided to do it. And here it is!
I´m not really sure what i´m going to do here. I hope I get at least 1 visit- lol
