Gameplay Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

For example, Black City and White Forest could be expanded into an entire portion of the region, encompassing multiple routes and cities.

I'd be fine if they got rid of the necessity of having friends with which to connect to. Black City/White Forest become incredibly pointless if you've got no one else around to play with.

lol oops, after reading over what you said, i guess it wouldnt agree with my theory.

That could be another possibility.

Seriously. I have only been there once (cause I had to go through it to progress). Never used it outside of that (no one to play with). Hopefully they are given more love in BW2.

No it wouldn't.

More of a possibility than your suggestions (and more logical, too).

But I'm glad you are starting to see the light.

I'd prefer it if they were both replaced by a Battle Frontier, but the Frontier was either Futuristic or Natural depending on the version you had.

My inputs regarding Black & White 2:
- More Move Tutor Moves
- Gym Leader Rematches like Emerald / Platinum / HG&SS
- Battle Frontier (But we already have the battle subway... does it mater really)
- Maybe some new Pokemon, I know there's about 649 pokes already, but I say a few wouldn't hurt, and make them hard to find... (Let's make it it 700! lol)

thats pretty much what I have in my head. If there was anything on this thread that was already mentioned here... ah well, have it here again anyway.

Now that I think about it more, it -could- be interesting if they expanded upon each half of the map... So one version will have a similar yet slightly reworked and expanded west half of the map (where all the gyms were mostly located before.) And the other version could take place on the east half of the map...expanded and slightly reworked of course. (The old post elite four areas)

It kind of takes the old and new idea to an extreme, but I like thinking in extremes.

We are in the middle of gen 5 there will be no new pokemon

Same here, I've even got multiple DS systems and both versions, but I've still never bothered to spend all the time it takes to keep them at their largest, or get them back that way.

They're interesting ideas, having Black City/White Forest as well as a Frontier would be fine.

One way of destroying a man's dream lol. Seriously though, I acknowledge the fact that since its the 5th gen anyway, there will be no new pokemon, but the thought counts, I guess.

There is no reason to immediately shoot down peoples ideas you know...
Its like stifling to discuss anything when there are going to be 2-3 people every time you post saying
"Thats not going to happen, you are wrong, go away. I have all the right answers to your questions! Moorrrrooon!"

Its not very fun.

I also have multiple systems and both versions. It was just too tedious to use both versions to fully utilize both places. A pity really.

I wouldn't mind having all three (the BF especially).

We only shoot down the most improbable, most beaten down ideas. Proper speculation can occur without the mindless repetitiveness of farfetch'd ideas.

No, what's not fun is having the same foolish ideas brought up over and over by people who refuse to use reason and rational thought.

Thank god someone is talking sense. I'm already sick of discussion of whether Hoenn is going to be in these games or not.

[Digitalkaiser65]

You can let them know in more polite ways then what you have been doing, surely?

[direelite]

One thing no one seems to be considering is the time it takes to make a game, they have had a year and a halfish, so what to them would be the best use of time? a new region? or other little things and various changes? It would be much more feasable from a time standpoint that it would be little things. That being said I really would love a new region/hoenn lol

[Icy Meteor]

Surely it is common sense that if there are any new Pokémon that they would have been found in the B/W roms? Some people have to realise that when they wish for something in their post, that it isn't going to become true just because they've posted it on the internet.

The Battle Subway is Gen 5's Battle Frontier, so I doubt we'll get a second version in B2/W2. If anything, the city/forest differences will be heightened and expanded, the Gyms will be mixed up, the Champion will be Different, and the ending story finale will be changed.

If they don't care enough to think before they post, why should I care about being polite?

It's amazing the amount of people that think there will be new Pokemon, we can't have new Pokemon in the middle of a Generation, new formes at most but nothing beyond that.

They can always expand the Battle Subway, I never bothered going to it but isn't it just like a regular Battle Tower as it is now?

They have had a little more time than that. They probably started BW2 when BW was finished (before it was released). Even so, they are pushing BW like nobodies' business, so it makes no sense to include Hoenn.

Hope and dream all you want, but don't expect.

Pretty much. It's a little more frustrating though. I've tried it a few times, but don't really care for it.

I'm just inclined to believe to think differently, I think because these are stand alone sequels (or prequels as someone pointed out) That they WILL in fact be completely different games set in the same place. What if they are changing up the formula?

I just can't comprehend how someone as smart as you can't grasp that they could actually be trying something brand new with these games, and instead of being a clone of the first to with minor things tweaked, like all previous installments, will instead have a completely new storyline, new places, people and yes, maybe in some far away dreamword some new pokemon.

These games are not black and white. They are black and white -2- just because you might not have found something while datamining a -black and white- mod, doesn't mean the next games wont have something? They are DIFFERENT games after all. (not from the same cart.)

I'm just trying to point out that there are different perspectives, and just because something has always held true in the past doesn't mean it has to stay that way.
