Black and White.

***The Doctor*** · 04-09-2010, 01:21 PM

Get ready for Pokemon Grey in 2011!!!

Seriously White and Black. Do you think could it be the last game? I mean White and Black are really the last ends of the colour spectrum.

Zaden · 04-09-2010, 03:12 PM

^I thought that was red and violet...

***The Doctor*** · 04-09-2010, 03:55 PM

^ ...details, details.

Jailbreaker · 04-09-2010, 03:59 PM

Black and white...

Black and white? Really?

REALLY?

Shoot me.

It's possible, but not necessarily.

This is a list of all the names Nintendo has copyrighted:
2008-093265 [Pokemon Red]
2008-093266 [Pokemon Green]
2008-093267 [Pokemon Blue]
2008-093268 [Pokemon Yellow]
2008-093269 [Pokemon Black]
2008-093270 [Pokemon Brown]
2008-093271 [Pokemon White]
2008-093272 [Pokemon Gray]
2008-093273 [Pokemon Scarlet]
2008-093274 [Pokemon Purple]
2008-093275 [Pokemon Crimson]

Of course, Gray is in there as well, but It could just as well be Brown, but more likely Gray.

I can see Soccer Moms and others being offended by this. Morality issues ahoy.

Seriously, they could've done better than Black and White.

Jailbreaker · 04-09-2010, 04:36 PM

They could have chosen:

slash and burn
search and destroy
check and mate
game and watch
past and future
life and liberty
fame and fortune
dogs and cats
slice and dice
to and fro
up and down
green eggs and ham
rise and shine
ninjas and pirates
lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of trains
s and castle
octopus and squid
dumb and dumber
fish and chips
push and shove
watch and learn
ding and dong
mario and luigi
gr and canyon
sight and sound

...

Y'know, Black and White isn't so bad.

...but Pokemon 5a and 5b would be okay, I think.

**X-3** · 04-09-2010, 05:00 PM

I have no problems with the names of these games, and I kinda went, "huh, didn't expect that, how nice".

I have a feeling there'll be a chess-related Pokemon of some sort. Good for me. Maybe they'll make it work by having it's color determined by the version it was caught in.

Gray being the third version is impossible. The third version will be Tin.

**Valigarmander** · 04-09-2010, 05:02 PM

The third game will be Pokemon Asian.

***The Doctor*** · 04-09-2010, 05:28 PM

^ Yep, thought that to begin with.

Did think that as well.

Me neither. I thought it might have been maybe Onyx and Opal but they had to run out of gems or metals that were also a colour sooner or later. (And then we'd have criticized them of "running out of ideas" if they do stuff like Beryl & Topaz or Jade & Garnet, same way we'd have criticized them for running out of ideas if they did "Yellow and Orange")

The one thing I think they really need to do is more Bug and ghosts. They need it!!!

Chaos Deviot · 04-09-2010, 07:39 PM

^ or a new type. Either make ??? a real type, or get rid of it. Curse can just be a Dark move anyway, or Ghost, since that's all it is.

Seriously, how can a Light or Sun type not work? Flash really has nothing to do with Electricity, hence its placement being wierd, same with Agility not being Psychic(normal would make more sense, or ??? if it becomes a more direct type). Hell, ??? doesn't need to have any attack moves, and could just be used for those awkward moves anyway.

Jailbreaker · 04-09-2010, 07:49 PM

^ Light type could work if they had a good idea for it. when you create type combinations BEFORE the pokemon themselves, you get trash like Spiritomb.

Not that it can't be done. They just have to be... careful about it.

**Valigarmander** · 04-09-2010, 08:23 PM

I don't see the big deal in the naming. Black and White isn't that bad.

Maybe someday they'll release Pokemon versions Lemon, Lime and Cherry, and this will all seem relative.

Jailbreaker · 04-09-2010, 08:26 PM

^ Lemon, Lime, and Orange, first of all. Thus, the citruses (Citri?)

Also, I'd SO buy that.

Glux · 04-09-2010, 08:32 PM

Next games will be:

Purple, Scarlet, Crimson
GoronRuby, ZoraSapphire, KokiriEmerald
ShinyDiamond, PolishedPearl, PurePlatinum
MarioFireRed, LuigiLeafGreen
ShinySoulSilver, GlowingHeartGold,
etc.

But remember...This is a nintendo-published franchise! Whenever something new is announced, we're supposed to be immediately overly-critical about it, trash it for being new, and start loving the older versions we hated so much two years ago.
