Bel (Belle?) is described as a spontaneous girl who is often unreliable she’s the complete opposite of your other rival, Cheren -an intelligent, trustworthy guy who wants to become Isshu’s Champion. This time around, the protagonist has two rivals who take the two starter Pokémon you reject. The last starter is Mijimaru the water-type “sea otter” Pokémon.
I can see Pokabu turning into a giant boar or something. It’s pretty cute, but who knows if it’ll stay that way once it evolves. Sure, we’ve seen pig Pokémon before (Grumpig and Swinub come to mind), but not a FIRE pig Pokémon. Despite this, Tsujarja has already earned the fan nickname of “Smugleaf” due to the smug look on his face. Of course, Tsujarja is only its Japanese name none of the Pokémon have any English names yet. Given that it’s a snake Pokémon, adding the Poison type to its evolutions would make sense (though Grass/Poison has been done to death). None of the starters have any evolutions revealed yet, so I can only speculate as to what Tsutarja will evolve into. Tsutarja is the grass starter -the “grass snake” Pokémon. It’s sad because the other two are so much cooler. In keeping with tradition, she gives the player the choice of three starter Pokémon - Grass, Fire and Water types, as usual It’s a chinchilla!Įvery Pokémon game needs to open with narration from a friendly professor, so Black and White give us Professor Araragi, the series’ first female professor. Professor Araragi with my favourite Pokemon of Gen V, Chiramii.
Apparently some other areas in the region will differ slightly between versions, which should hopefully make the two versions less “samey,” with more than just exclusive Pokémon to differentiate them. For instance, the White Forest area is exclusive to the White version and the Black City one will only appear in Black.
What’s interesting about Isshu is that it features different areas specific to different games. And also speculate a bit.īoth games take place in the new region of Isshu, supposedly far away from Kanto, Sinnoh or any other Pokémon regions. I figured that with so much information out there, it’s time to sort through the magazine scans, Pokémon Sunday clips and leaked information to deliver all the essential facts on these new Pokémon games. With less than two months until it releases in Japan, we’re currently being flooded with new information about the two upcoming Pokémon games: Black and White.
