Pokemon Black & White media evolves into video on Pokemon Sunday

by Ben Gilbert on Apr 18th 2010 1:00PM

Within the span of nine days, we've seen Pokémon Black & White go from being announced to being featured in magazines to, now, appearing in video form on the madness-fueled weekly Japanese show Pokémon Sunday. A Siliconera reader with a penchant for insanityvision (like television, but, ya know, insane) spotted the footage, which has the show's hosts (and Lucario) gasping and commenting on a brief gameplay clip.

Since our resident Pokéxpert Griffin McElroy is out this weekend, we're unable to confirm whether the footage matches the levels of excitement displayed by the show's hosts, but we have to imagine that, somewhere, he just got stood up and cheered without knowing why. See it for yourself after the break.

cool

story

bro

don't

even

call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence"

-Malcolm X

Am I doing it right?

Malcom X is a cool guy, he speaks civil rights and doesn't afraid of anything eh

His brothers always gave him a hard time on Malcolm in the middle.

I've always wanted to walk in full 3D circles in a Pokemon game, and soon I'll be able to!

Now read the above in Professor Farnsworth's voice!

Good News Everyone! I've always wanted to walk in full 3D circles in a Pokemon game, and soon I'll be able to!

Fixed.

The idea of Griffin spontaneously channeling the Pokexcitement made me lol a hearty lol.

Lmao. I know what you mean.

Though I have to wonder if it was some kind of Freudian slip that Ben said of Griffin: "he just got stood up"...

I hadn't thought of it before, but does Black and White being announced like this mean we aren't getting a remake of Crystal?

We shouldn't be. We didn't get a remake of Yellow, after all.

Did we get a remake of Yellow?..

HG and SS already have all the elements introduced in Crystal, so there's no need for a remake.
They never did a remake of Yellow either.

Well, there was never a Pokemon Yellow remake. Also, there were some elements that were only in Crystal that were added to Heart Gold/Soul Silver.

what did Crystal have that HeartGold and SoulSilver dont have? they didnt remake Yellow Version when they made FireRed and LeafGreen so i doubt a Crystal remake, its not needed

Crystal had a different female trainer, and the plotline was slightly different.

It matters, people!

I don't think we will; they never-

Wait a minute.

Hey, does anyone know if they ever made a remake of Yellow? Also, were elements of crystal incorporated in HG and SS?

You, boy: what day is it?!

The echo is strong in this thread.

Crystal introduced:
-Option for a female playable character
-Altered storyline giving higher importance to Suicune over Entei and Raikou
-Network capabilities through a cellphone-attached modem (JP only)
-Battle Tower
-Animated Pokémon sprites

Most of those have been staples of the series since, networking changed to a standard wi-fi connection, and animated sprites grew to include animated sprites for the Pokémon on your side.

A Crystal remake would not be necessary.

Yellow, however, was quite different from Red, Green, and Blue.
-The sprite of the player, Brock, and Misty were edited to reflect their anime counterparts.
-Team Rocket's Jessie, James, and Meowth were added.
-Your only option for a starter Pokémon is Pikachu, and he never goes inside his Poké Ball. You can talk with him, and he has actual voice samples. This Pikachu could not evolve (at least, not unless you traded him to another game).
-You could obtain Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander through the progress of the game.

So, Yellow was quite different, and none of its alterations were represented in FireRed/LeafGreen, but I seriously doubt we'd get an ElectricYellow any time soon.
... Maybe for 3DS.

Griffin. Is that you ninja posting under a different name?

Wait, how do you get the other 3 starters in Yellow? I remember it only possible by trading.

@Katana Master: You got the original three starters in Yellow from the same people that Ash got them from in the anime.

Bulbasaur: Girl taking care of plant Pokemon in Ceruelean City decides she can trust you with Bulbasaur after you rescue Bill.
Charmander: (Idiot) Punk in the route above Ceruelean City complains that Charmander is weak, and was immediately willing to give Charmander to you for free.
Squirtle: Officer Jenny in Vermillion City decides that you can take care of a particularly troublesome Squirtle.

Oh god, so much game and anime nostalgia. Firefighting Squirtle Squad (complete with shades and attitude to match!) was awesome.

Seriously, after you get all three of them (and possibly Snorlax and Lapras later on), you were pretty much set for the rest of the game.

I miss yellow :( It was bitchin

I loved Pokemon Sunday's reaction to the gameplay.

Don't those presenters have any dignity,
To be able to present a show about pokémon while maintaining your friends and family respect for you is a miracle not even jesus could perform,
Over 18s can only speak about pokémon to themselves or on the internets.

I think you mean 13-17s.

Im 20, and I talk about pokemon with my 20 Y.O. friends who also play pokemon an we fell no shame. But still, I must say that the guy with the orange fro/mohawk is rather creepy.

A the wonder's of japan, a place where you can like publicly like pokemon and not be judged

Huh....that's odd, because I've seen quite a few people playing HG and SS the past few days in my college classes.

As Awkward Zombie characterized it:
http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-032910.php

sounds like you're still in high school. Consult this:

http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-032910.php

Great minds, they think alike.

More like great minds can't be bothered to read.

That webcomic is highly inaccurate. I'm in highschool and everyone there plays Pokemon.

Except for me, I just started playing Pokemon for the first time with Blue version this weekend.

Pokemon is sort of a meta-game-based series, so I'd recommend you start with whatever's current, really.

Me and my wife are 25 and watch pokemon episodes when we're killing time at home. I'm currently sitting with HG next to keyboard. A friend of mine and I exchange texts now and then about pokemon. He's 30.

Good games don't have age brackets.

Im 19 ( going 20) and I still play pokemon. I wish I had a DS. I would do just about anything to get one...

Except buy one?

Lucario was gasping because he knows that Zoroark is gonna take his job when B&W come out.

What, furry bait?

Super Smash Bros. character

They took his job!!

DEY DJOOK DER DJE-ERB!!
