May 2012 "Pocket Monsters Special" Review Thread

Stuff happens.

Looks like next up, it's time for a Gym battle.

Oooh, he has five Pokemon. That means all of Black's team may get a fight.

Wait, three Vanillish's? I know Unova's lacking in the Ice-type department, but at least evolve one of them.

If Brav's with White...Who's the 5th?

And yays for more smiling ice cream to freak out people!

I actually forgot that this came out today ^^;; I'll have to pick it up after work tomorrow.

From the images posted, though:

• Shaga tells Black that he's both the mayor of Souryuu City and its Gym Leader
• Iris has been training under him for about a year.
• Hachiku lists the five goals to their training:
• Step One: Awaken Emboar's Fighting-Type abilities (this happened in last month's chapter)
• Step Two: To strengthen each member of his team equally.
• Step Three: To simulate fighting a group of opponents. The text written by the Twitter user at the bottom of the second image states that Black defeated Hideaki, the leader of the Black Empärt motorcycle gang. Hideaki is known as "Jeremy" in the English versisons of the games.
• Step Four: To solve the ice maze. Black is currently in the middle of this one.
• Step Five: A pokemon battle with Hachiku.
