PokéStar Studios, Musicals and more - Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[Serebii]

So, there appear to be many side ammenities in Black 2 & White 2 which are unrelated to battles

First we have Pokéwood, the movie making part of the game where you set up movie premises and follow a script to make the best movie


We also have the return of the Pokémon Musicals in Nimbasa City. Like before, there will be some set musicals and new ones downloadable off of the Pokémon Global Link


Could there be more?

I was surprised to find that both sill exist, but I suppose they don't really clash with each other. I hope that the musical gets some kind of benefit outside of itself. I'm really enjoying the pokewood's current screenshots, it seems you battle against a green screen prop, which is animated into an actual enemy later. The screen seems to be a high level in the screenshot, so I'm wondering if the point is for your team to actually have some trouble with it, to get better footage (or perhaps you can control the level depending on how epic you want the battle scenes)... I don't really mind if PokeWood grants no external benefits, but I wouldn't be surprised if it held some kind of importance. Also, I wonder if the props from musicals will have any use here? That could actually create more incentive to participate in them hahaha Thanks for the new thread, Serebii, it'll clear up the other threads somewhat

I wonder if the battles in the PokeWood studio will be like normal Pokemon battles... I don't understand the HP bars and all...

[diakyu]

I think that when you have to fight the green screen, you have to use certain attacks at a certain time. It would make it more interesting.

[kemal07]

So the green screen is the use of acting... and the other shots with text underneath are the outcome of the movies right?

I hope that the Meloetta Musical features some remixed/extended version of her Relic Song. I love Meloetta's Song.

Thing with the greenscreen is that we also have a shot of the bottom screen, which gives various script options

This is just my opinion but I think this is the only place in a way the Player you're using is talking.

I'm more interested as to why the protagonist is paralyzed. Lawd the parodies that will come from this.

I'm guessing it's the equivalent of stage fright? Lmao.

Goddammit, the Musicals are still here?

Tch. At least Pokewood will make sure I'll never bother going in there.

[Ciccone]

I'm really surprised that they've kept the Musicals in these games; I personally thought they were boring. I'm not impressed by PokeWood, though. It's a new idea and all, but it doesn't interest me that much. I wish they had brought back the Pokeathlon instead. That place was really fun; I spent hours participating in the courses there. But I'm willing to give PokeWood a chance.

[GoldCyndaquil]

I thought somewhere it said that Pokéwood was replacing the Musicals?

[Bullkid]

To be honest, I didn't and will continue to not care less about the musicals. But I gotta say, PokeWood looks pretty neat, I can't wait to try it out.

[Wulava]

Yes, it was mentioned. But I think "replace" wasn't the correct term since it is still present in Nimbasa.
More like, "PokeWood is an alternative to the Musicals,and it's WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY better."

[johno1995]

I don't really get the HP Bars...

Does the animation that the green screen makes up attack your character? If so, that'd make for some serious LOL's.

[AceFlonne]

So we have to fight doors in the pokewood?

I don't Get it at all...I hated the Musicals

I don't get why they took out the game corner and the pokemon contest. They were classic and fun. They should re add.

Agreed, but the Game Corner would be replaced with something else in the UK because of gambling issues.

Wow O.o I personally didnt like the pokemon contest. The Game Corner was cool I agree, but I only like the game that was played HG/SS. Very fun and addicting.
