With Black and White featuring no old Pokemon Pre-National, Gamefreak decided to bring them back in spirit with similar 5th gen counterparts to fill their roles. Which Pokemon lines do you see as being these "replacement" Pokemon?
Geodude/Graveler/Golem -> Dangoro/Gantoru/Gigaiasu
Zubat/Golbat -> Koromori/Kokoromori
Koffing/Weezing or Grimer/Muk -> Yabakuron/Dasutodasu
Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill -> Futsude/Hoiiga/Pendoraa
Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree -> Kurumiru/Kurumayu/Hahakurimo
Machop/Machoke/Machamp -> Dokkora/Dotekkotsu/Roopushin
Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan -> Nageki and Dageki
Arcanine -> Urugamoth.
Both are high-BST fire-type Pokemon considered "legendary" but not officially legendary or pseudo-legendary.
Mewtwo -> Genosect
Both are legendaries that were modified by the games' resident criminal organization.
Drowzee -> Munna (I can't believe nobody said this one yet.)
Magikarp/Goldeen/Finneon -> Basurao
Grimer -> Yabakuron
Anyone else noticed Gochiruzeru is replacing Gardevoir?
And Zoroark would obviously be replacing Lucario. Being a diehard Lucario fan, I personally think there should be a scene where Lucario pwns Zoroark with Aura Storm for replacing it. Just think, with the enhanced graphics in B/W, it'd look exactly like in Brawl, but even bigger, and maybe there should be a huge explosion in the end that creates a huge crater afterward. The whole screen would just be a blue beam of epicness. And-*Goes on huge lecture*
