Pokémon Black & White

I see what you mean now, so in a double battle, if it's sent out second it'll take place of whatever's first etc.

 

What's the point of it if it's going to be, practically, a reverse Ditto?

I believe that in a double battle, it'll take the form of the Pokémon in position 3. We see a double battle with Zorua & Zoroark but Zoroark is in the form of Hihidaruma, which is obviously in position 3 (we don't know what Zorua had been as it was already damaged in the video). For Triple Battles, it'll probably be #4

Triple battles? Double Battles are still underused never mind triple battles. I'm guessing moves like Earthquake's and Surf's power will be cut by 3. Triple battles will be really quick paced since your using half your team right off the bat.

 

Does Zoroark keep his own moves while transformed or does he take on the copied Pokemon's moves?

So yeah, four Pokémon got leaked in beta art earlier this week, with some new anime characters, we thought it was fake, but the new anime character got revealed today so

THE NEW ANIME CHARACTER IS BLACK?

 

OH HO HO HO, THE RACE ISSUE CONTINUES.

 

I'm buying White cause that is my skin colour.

Nope. That's a photocopy issue, unless Ash is suddenly black too

 

Aww damn, that would have made the situation entirely awkward in America, where racial issues are looked into far too much.

 

Surprised they aren't using Black for the main female protagonist though, then again I think they may have finally saw the possible issues with showing too much legs in a children's cartoon show.

Game Staff Info

They're listed under "Pokemon Design." They come up with the ideas. They decide which ones are the best, and refine them. Then, Sugimori-san draws those designs. In the first gen, it was a group of four (Sugimori-san being one of them), and Tajiri-san's role in creating the monsters was basically to approve them, and suggest changes after the basic ideas were being designed. He's the only one under "Director" and "Game Design" which means that he was in charge of pulling everything together and the overall experience of playing the game.

 

Nowadays... well, the truth is that in R/S, Masuda-san took over. Ever since R/S/E, Tajiri-san has not been working on the games at all. He's listed as "Executive Director" in most games. What does this mean? "Ex. Director" is a fancy way of saying "this is the original creator, he approved this game but was not an active part of development." Occasionally he's listed as an "Ex. Producer" which, from what I can gather, means he funded it but was still not an active member in developing it. Finally, in Pokemon Rumble (surprisingly enough), only Sugimori-san and Masuda-san are listed in the credits as "advisors" for the spin-off game. Tajiri-san is not listed at all.

 

So, he's not really putting his mind into the monsters anymore. However, there is another part of why the monsters look different. The "Pokemon Design" of D/P/Pt was held by thirteen people. Ten of these people did not work on R/G's mons; Morimoto-san (he's the guy who put Mew into the game) also stopped doing monster design during D/P/Pt. What does this mean? The people coming up with the ideas are, mostly, different each Gen. R/S hired a ton of people, and that's why Gen III's style was so different. B/W has also hired more people (GF was recruiting graphic designers - remember? They're usually the ones in charge of monster design too) so the designs will be very different.

 

TLDR; version: The main reason why the B/W mons look weird is because the design team has some new people on it. Also, Tajiri-san hasn't worked on the games for a looooong time (G/S). Thus, the reason why Gen III and Gen IV looked so different from Gen I and Gen II. And now Gen V is going to be very different as well.

I like how the water and grass ones go through complete changes and the fire one just...gets bigger.

 

I don't know why people make such a big deal over the designs. new stuff is needed, why must people continue to live in the past

 

Bring back Early Edition!

So it's still just a reverse Ditto?

No. Ditto actually takes the form, stats, type, capture rate, attacks etc. of the Pokémon it transforms into. It also remains in that form after a hit

 

Zoroark just takes the name and appearance in an attempt to trick its foes. It loses its illusion when it is hit.
