Black and white: RELEASED!

Oh yeah! Generation V has begun! And so has a new adventure! With all new pokemon (no relations to previous pokemon), new routes (route 1!) and new look. The loading speed seems okay and so are the layouts.

The new pokemon have much more abstract/eccentric sprite designs. Previously, I thought of the new designs as a message from nintendo saying "help us, we're out of ideas". But I have changed my views and I now find them okay overall.

And yes! I guess that the third legend in the mascot trio, including Reshiram and Zekrom, would be National Dex #646: Kyuremu. Click on the image for info.

Kyuremu is a Dragon/Ice type and has Pressure as its ability. However, it isn't much like Giratina or Rayquaza. This is because its counterparts Reshiram and Zekrom have signature abilities. Also, Kyuremu's signature STAB move has a measly attack damage of 65, compared to Reshiram's massive 150 fire-type move and Zekrom's 130 electric-type move. Furthermore, both of the mentioned moves are learnt only at Lv. 100 (like Judgement,Seed Flare,Magma Storm and Crush Grip).

But do not forget, it has only been days since the release and everything that I have typed here might be inaccurate. So, I'll update on Kyuremu as soon as I know more. *all reference for this post is from Psypokes.

Pokemon ranger and the 5th Generation

Well, apparently Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs isn't as good as I expected. Why release a generation IV game so close to the release of a Gen. V game (Black/White)? I guess we can call this the "Curse Of The Ranger". I'll explain it all.

Ranger 1: Story mode doesn't end too quickly however captures are rather hard.

Ranger 2: Easier captures but short storyline.

Ranger 3: Easy captures, new guardian signs feature and Wi-Fi missions. Sadly, it isn't a Gen. V game.

And there you have, the curse of the ranger.

On the other hand, the Pokemon Black and White Versions seem to be rather appealing! Over a million copies sold in a limited pre-release! Hopefully, it will have a better loading speed (which is rumored to be true) and more features in a single game than previous games had. There is a rumor that the 3rd Gen. V game will be named "Pokemon GREY Version", much like crystal, emerald and platinum. This is (unfortunately) only a speculation. All we can do is just wait and see if there is a Gen. V legendary that fits well into the "3rd mascot" position. Perhaps there will be another Multi-type pokemon? Haha, I hope so.
