Pokemon Black & White's main quest has new Pokemon only

Looking forward to some electric Pikachu action in Pokemon Black & White? Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Not until you finish the main game, anyway.

 

GameFreak's Junichi Masuda revealed that players won't encounter any of the established favorites in Black & White until they've cleared the game. Masuda explains that this was done to instill a sense of discovery in those playing the game, similar to what the original Pokemon games evoked.

 

Presumably, you'll be able to capture or trade older Pokemon upon completion.

Hell no! i LOVE the fire starter! hes sooo cute! and the grass one looks like another badass like treecko.

but the water type one does look like the worst one yet!

BUUUUT thanks to a few 'yiffy' drawings and some amazing art talant, i think i started to like the water one just a bit more. not as much as the other 2 but if its drawn right, it can be very cute x3

But why care? That's artwork, not an actual in-game sprite/animation model. Your "cute" argument is invalid and a bit gay.

I understand what they're trying to do, but they will without a doubt get a lot of hate because of it.

Yeah. I'm HOPING TO GOD the next game will be some kind of amalgam of all the previous games. I would love for the game to, I don't know, go forward in time as you beat all the old stuff.
Like, you could see the timeline of pokemon in-action in-game, as you caught more and more pokemon and got further and further into the story.
How they would do that, I don't know, but Gold/Silver were THE best games to me, since they included the original red/blue/yellow world next to the new.

It was different for Gold though; it still only had a total of 251 Pokemon. We've gotten to the stage where you need to catch about 500 to "Catch 'em all", so by wiping the slate clean from the older Pokemon they've ensured that finishing the game won't be an impossible task to do like it is in Pokemon Heart Gold.

I think they made the right call by doing this. Accessing the older Pokemon will likely be like how we discovered the availability of Kanto after beating the Elite 4 in the original Gold... I'm looking forwards to the new generation of Pokemon now, and I actually wasn't before.

# then how?Chrislink 2010-08-04 20:18
so how the heck can u catch zoruo and zoroark w/o the use of the 3 beast unless A) those two don't count until you complete the Isshu dex (like how 100+ wern't available in d/p until you get national or B) celebi and the beast are in the Isshu dex

it seem that catching all the Pokemon will be even more of a pain this time :-|

This is a superb idea. I "broke" the Gen 4 games by transferring my super powered Pokemon over from Gen 3. No self control here. So I'm glad someone will control me!

This also means that Black and White will introduce at least 150 new Pokemon. Which is just staggering and takes the total to ~650.

Lets include a crappy new way to prevent you from trading your pokemon to the new game until you beat it.

Lets ignore making a storyline again.

I'm annoyed they will just 3D it and limit it instead of adding stuff like a storyline, new minigames, old minigames (bug catching!). It will be the same again.

I think its a great idea. Its a surefire way for people to familiarize themselves with the new Pokes instead of automatically going for standardized Pokes.

aperson2 is correct this means a legit generation unlike the Sinnoh gen which had way too many evolutions of already existing Pokemon (albeit most of them where much appreciated)Ove rall it will make the games more of a mystery and add the wonderment of forming teams of unknown pokemon and see how they play.
