If you look at the site there's even a sexy trailer. *retreats from discussion*

Hooooottttttt.
I actually really excited for this. ^^ I have a major affinity for monochrome designs, so the new names have certainly piqued my interest.
In my little over-reactive mind, they are slightly changing the theme of the game, including a darker storyline and more monochrome Pokémon - MAGPIESVULTURESPANDASZEBRASSKUNKSBADGERSKILLERWHALESRACCOONSPENGUINSWOLVESBLACKDIVERSCOWSETCFTW ♥
but then again I'm an idiot.

The sprites have to stay. They just ooze so much personality and I never EVER tire of looking at them. If they do a Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon route and swap the colourful sprites with these dull souless looking 3D animations its just going to make me sick to the stomach. I have Pokemon Dash as well by the way. ;D The graphical effects pale in comparison to the 2D spritework. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the fact this reeks of cockiness and greed. I felt the same way when a third Pokemon Ranger was announced. I'm going to have to check out how many Pokemon DS games there actually are. I'm sure it dwarfs all the other consoles with their Pokemon outings. The information from Bulbapedia/Serebii/Pokebeach etc is all 100% accurate. It's from a press release that came direction from the official Japanese Pokemon site or so they say. All in all, Nintendo are crazy bastards and usually do some pretty unorthodox things and they pay off. So perhaps it will be good but from the information we've been given my usual pessimistic fear of change personality is in rampant control. D: Oh I know, I hate changes. Basically, I agree with everything you've said. XD By the way, how was Pokemon Dash? Is it worth getting? I would be downloading so it would actually cost me nothing but my online points, but all the reviews I read were just terrible! But that's getting off-topic. Even after all the crappy stunts Nintendo + team are hoping to pull off, we all know we're still going to buy and play the Pokemon games. Maybe that's why they get cocky... I just love the Pokemon games... Haha!

Well I paid about £3 on eBay for it and i'd say for that price its alright but if you're going to download it, its worth a go as a Pokemon fan. It's not particularly good though. Its more of a tech demo for the DS itself (WHEEE LOOK AT ME 3D GRAPHICS, STYLUS CONTROL AND DOUBLE SCREENS!!!! =O) Plus I have a penchant for playing bad games as they're quite entertaining over how bad they are. I'd rate it roughly a 50% game. Its not bad per se, just shallow.
I also think you've just summed up Pokemon's existence to not just I, or yourself but millions upon millions of fans across the globe:
"We all know we're still going to buy and play the Pokemon games."
And at the end of the day... That is the truth.

Nobody has posted about today's update yet? Oh wow. But get this! No new Pokemon have been announced, but the did show off a number of screenshots from the new game. Graphics have taken a nice update! And looking from the pictures, it even looks like... an American inspired region, of all places! And the female trainer doesn't look mentally incapable this time so far!www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pics.shtml

LOL Joey. I like your style xD I think I might try Dash just to say I've tried it. Why not?? Nobody has posted about today's update yet? Oh wow. But get this! No new Pokemon have been announced, but the did show off a number of screenshots from the new game. Graphics have taken a nice update! And looking from the pictures, it even looks like... an American inspired region, of all places! And the female trainer doesn't look mentally incapable this time so far!www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pics.shtmlAHAHAHA LOL at that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the female trainers. Lately, too, I've hated the guy trainers too, talk about preppy fags... Not to offend anyone here or anything.

The Gen IV design for the male trainer was knocked down severely in my eyes due to that lame beret he's wearing. The male trainer design for Gen V doesn't look all that much better but i'll reserve judgement. From what I can tell the female Gen V trainer looks alright... OH OH AND OH! Apparently we have some reveals coming up. This Sunday, the Pokemon Sunday Show is going to apparently be revealing something if information from Serebii is to be believed as well as the rumour of the Gen V starters being unveiled on May 15th. This month should be fairly exciting then.

Don't worry, i'll be sure to update this topic with any new Pokemon or updates as they are announced. Maybe even start a whole new topic depending on the magnitude of the announcement. ;D I also noticed something in the trailer showing off the characters in the city, there's now advertisements plastered on buildings and so on. Which is... Kinda cool I guess.

Apparently, by around the 15th, we'll get new info on some of the Pokemon and including the starters (as I guess everybody knows). I wonder what the starters will be like this time? No doubt that their first forms will be really cute!

I know the issue of the starters being Grass/Fire/Water have started to bore some people but I severely disagree with anyone who says that they'll ever change them to something like Psychic/Dark/Fighting.
The whole formula is just too ingrained.
Nevertheless, if the starters are anything like Sinnoh's ones I won't be too disappointed. I'm very fond of Torterra and Empoleon and Infernape aren't exactly bad.

True, they really made them more interesting and valuable. Good thing too, Cause the starter really weren't on my most desirable list. I really like Empoleon, and you can bet that I will do a LOT to make sure Misty gets a hold of one of those!
I would like Psychic/Dark/Fighting starters ^^ I would soooo pick Psychic or Dark... I'm a big fan of 'Mystic' Pokemon (a weird thing I invented: it means all Pokemon that are Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Dragon, Ice and the some of the special normals, like Togepi and it's evolutions)

I'm just trying to figure out what type each of those might be, assuming that they are still using Grass/Water/Fire.
The one on the left looks like it has a large beak, but I'm hoping that is just the shape of its head or hair and not its mouth. That was the Pokemon is either facing forward or to the right, not facing the left showing off a beak. Don't want another bird after Torchic and Piplup. The tail makes me think that it is either Grass, as it looks like a large leaf, or that it is Water, acting as a flipper.
The center one reminds me of Turtwig because it is head that looks like leaves and that it is on four legs. Those could be ears though but that still looks weird. The tail reminds me initially of Spoink, but it could also be like Marill and thus like a flotation device. Might be another turtle like Turtwig and Squirtle. Want to say either Grass or Water again.
The last one on the right reminds me of a Piplup but it also has the least features being shown. The little nubs are probably just the tips of ears but I don't know what else. Just because I thought the last two were either Grass or Water, going to guess this one is the Fire.
