@ question on previous page: Huh. That is actually kind of a tough question, and I'm not sure how to answer it. Do either of the trainer designs look like they fit you better, or do they look about the same?

Okay.
That brings up an interesting question. How often do you guys pick the boy or girl trainers? Oddly, when I was younger, I used to love playing as Kris and May. But now, I usually just stick with the boy trainers because I'm a lazybutt and they're the same as me (or at least closer to how I see myself).

All I can really think of is that an all-out offensive with whatever your first damaging attack is (I think it's Tackle for all 3 of the starters here) should be fine for the first two battles. The other move weakens the enemy's attack and defense, which can be useful but a little too risky early on.
Also, my favorite starter here is Snivy, with Tepig being pretty decent, too. I don't really remember much about my run with Oshawott. But feel free to pick whichever you like best.

The biggest bosses on my team were Krookodile (Foul Play is really useful in some of the story battles) and Archeops. I never used my own Stoutland much, at least not as a Stoutland, but he was pretty helpful too.
I get that people are just fantasizing, but seriously, how would sex with a Gardevoir even WORK!? It can't mate with Pokemon in the human group. It CAN mate with stuff like Gengar and Muk. Whatever Gardevoir has down there can NOT be friendly to human anatomy (if it even HAS anything down there - I wouldn't be shocked if it just used psychic powers to make an egg)

@cybernetic_squid: Cool! And awesome, another one of us likes Snivy (even though I used Tepig in my "canon" run)!
Just curious, what do you think about the game and the other characters so far?

Yeah, the time of day in the DS games matches whatever you have on your DS clock. The seasons are a little wonky compared to the real-world cycle, but that's mainly so you don't have to wait 9 months or reset the calendar to get certain things from a particular season to happen.

So has anyone else heard about Pokémon Black and White 2 yet? What do you think? I'm still curious about them. Also, the Kyurem transformations look kind of silly but adorable.

To be perfectly honest, not many people really know what's going to be in this game, so I couldn't say what the differences from the first game would be. But I'm pretty confident that there will be significant differences.
And I should probably say that I came across this news completely by accident. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have found out until someone else mentioned it.

I kind of hope it's the second one, if only because then I have a chance to get a Snivy without trading or resetting my White file.
Good news Everyone! I Professor Juniper have discovered an alternate dimension for a re-amped plot device to justify revisiting the different universe! You cannot take any of your previous Pokemon with you, but you get to see new legendary (forms)!

I personally am a bit more optimistic, but I'd like to have more to go on with what to expect. We'll probably get more information over the next 2 months or so, though.
In the meantime, I have a HeartGold game to tide me over until it comes out here.

It can be a tough mental block to get past even when you don't like competitive battling all that much. I must confess that I save-scummed in my new HeartGold file until I got a female Totodile with a competitively-recommended nature. But otherwise, I'm usually fine with what the game gives me.
Also, Jolly seems like the nature I'd like in a Totodile. Even if it's probably the nature people would give to Ash's Totodile, and thus the only difference between the two Pokémon would be that mine is a girl.

Okay, general question time again. What kinds of things would you like to see as Pokémon in the future?
I'd be interested in seeing another orca and a sperm whale to go along with Wailord. I'm also going to satisfy my inner snake fanboy and say a python (maybe Fire, Water, Rock or Fighting) and an Electric or Psychic Quetzalcoatl as well.

Nice, extensive list. I like it. Though there are some that technically should have "more" in front of them, like the anglerfish (Lanturn, though I'm guessing you want one that's more accurate to the real-life animal) and the man-eating cactus (Cacturne).
I also had in mind a moray eel, a barn owl, a copperhead (Steel/Poison, of course), a komodo dragon, and a marbled salamander (Rock and probably Water).

Huh. I'd heard that story before, but I didn't realize someone had made a visual representation of it.
Fortunately, the video itself is not real. The tragedies of World War II certainly did happen, of course, but none of the programmers slipped references to it into the game.

^Dolphins I can definitely see. The Wendigo strikes me as seeming related to Froslass somehow, even though the legend Froslass is based on is fairly more benevolent.
If I had to pick a small cute mammal, I'd go with the opossum. We haven't had one of those yet. Another one that popped into my head just recently is a swordfish.

I'm suddenly reminded of the Ya-Te-Veo. It's a tree made of giant carnivorous plants that was described in an old explorer's book. I'm not sure whose mythology it came from, but it sounds like a Carnivine evolution.

Ah, yes, Pokémon toys. I never had any large-sized toys, but I had plushies of Squirtle, Charizard, and Mew. I also had a glow-in-the-dark keychain of Psyduck. If I recall correctly, the Squirtle was my favorite.
I'm almost tempted to try and get some of the newer Pokémon toys for no particular reason.

If I had the money and ability to acquire several plushes of my favorite Pokémon, I'd get a Snivy, Totodile, Bulbasaur, Lucario, Zoroark, and/or maybe a bigger Charizard. I'd also get a large-size Arbok if the only one in existence wasn't a collector's item in the 3 or 4-digit price range.

If I counted correctly, you have 10% of the current Pokédex in your figurine collection.
Also, holy cow, how did you get all those? Altogether, that collection would probably be worth about $400-$700 now (note: this is basically a wild guess pulled out of the Mystery Zone).
Also, that reminds me, I had Graveler and Omastar figurines that I got from some kind of crane game. I didn't really keep up with them, so I have no idea where they are now.

Okay, then. That explains why Generations I and III predominate.
Also @ squid: How is Pokémon Black going for you, just out of curiosity?

That's nice to hear. Good luck!
That reminds me, I should work on my HeartGold playthrough next week, since I'll be on break then (finally!).

I was honestly kind of pissed about it since I just bought Black a few months ago, and it seems like I'm going to have to buy it again.
What, exactly, is the difference? If there even is one?
So does that mean you go into hiding and lose your pokemon because of Kyurem? Or it's a new trainer? Or what?
Generation 5 has certainly been mixing things up
