A Prerelease Opinion & Prediction

[Arima]

I sincerely hope that the decision to use Black & White as the titles is only temporary because Ebony & Ivory would be better and more creative.

Also, I feel very confident that there will be an Inevitable Change to the Battle System.
And that change is for Pokémon to have 6 Moves instead of 4 Moves.

Although it is still too early to say, I'm very sure that there will be something else new to the gameplay.

============================================================

EDIT: Due to a Majority of Disagreement, I would like to apologize for putting in my two cents about the upcoming Generation V games.

I just thought that the titles "Black & White" seemed too simple and believed that an expanded moveset limit would increase the combat flexibility of Pokémon and lead to an increase in the complex possibilities of Pokémon Battles.

This apology does not apply to Nintengod since he made a contemptuous, uncivilized, and unreasonable post.

Errrr no imo Ebony and Ivory sound like some awful names.

And I'm pretty confident in saying that they'll never change the number of moves a pokémon can learn, not after all this time. Maybe some changes to the Battle System are on the way, but that's not gonna be one of them.

 

[Nintengod]

No, the NA names are already B&W. This was confirmed from US websites directed from nintendo that haven't been made yet.

LOL noob, putting in 6 moves COMPLETELY destroys the "Limited Options" strategies. 4 is absolutely perfect, any more is retarded.

 

[Nintengod]

Can we please ban idiots? It's honestly kind of annoying to see the same retarded repeat threads EVERY day. There's like 12 light type threads -.-

1) They'll stay, unless Jesse Jackson wants to rename the colour "Black" entirely. Besides, Ebony and Ivory sound awful.
2) They DID discuss adding 2 more moves into R/S...they did not, and probably had a good reason not to.
3) Of course they'll be something new gameplay wise...

Yes, the major complaint with Black and White is that they weren't racially suggestive enough.

 

[Hyasynth]

What is peoples' problems with color names? Black and White are fantastic names with infinite possibilities.

Ebony and Ivory on the other hand...not only do they make me think of race, but they also make me think of a certain kind of adult-geared entertainment.

Pokemon with 6 moves? Do you have any idea how game-breaking that would be? Four moves is perfect. Don't screw with it.

 

[Lufenium]

Ebony and Ivory on the other hand...not only do they make me think of race, but they also make me think of a certain kind of adult-geared entertainment.

Lmfao, I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. >_>

 

[Falconwing]

Even more non-veteran people complaining about the names.

Guess what, they are official. And what's so bad about them? Was there anything wrong with Red? Blue? Green? Yellow?

NO!

...No.

...No.

 

[Keegman]

WE HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE HORRIBLE.

Huh, and it made me think of a more African flavour in the games. Although I connected Ivory with poaching, so probably not the greatest connotation to be made...

 

[Takoto]

Ebony and Ivory? Nah, I think Black and White are much, much better names... :/

And six moves? That's an odd suggestion...

 

[7tx]

This.

We don't know what these names are meant to suggest, so changing the names to something kind of like black and something kind of like white is ridiculous. The names could very well have some sort of metaphorical meaning or relevance plot-wise, so changing the names isn't a great idea. Even if they don't, Black and White are cool names so they won't change them.

 

[ForeverFlame]

Ebony and Ivory are types of race-related porn, so Gamefreak would be in biiiiig crap with parents if they went with those.

 

[Hushie]

If they release them with those names then I think it would be the breeding system that got an overhaul, not the battle system... :angel:

 

[Every Breaking Wave]

Why are you apologizing? Everyone is allowed to speak their own opinion about what could change from now to release. I quite enjoyed the expanded moveset one.

 

[Keegman]

This apology does not apply to Nintengod and Keegman since they made contemptuous, uncivilized, and unreasonable posts.

You really thought I was serious? Did you see how big the words were? Dude, don't worry about it. I am quite low on the contempt scale.

 

[Takoto]

If they release them with those names then I think it would be the breeding system that got an overhaul, not the battle system... :angel:

I can see it now!

...oh god...

 

[Regiruler]

And don't even start about the amount of Bulbapedia ads. *shutter*

Oh, and Arima, people are angry at you because you made a thread just for this, when there are already threads that cover the topics you mentioned.
