As the title says, a new trailer for Pokemon Black and White was just shown on Oha Suta, and showed a variety of new Pokemon, as well as displaying a brand new feature to the series which some have speculated-triple battles!
All I can say is Cat picked a bad time to take a break xD But I suppose he can get really excited when he gets back.
Serebii has the romanized names for them:
Armored dragon mantis thing: Ononokusu
Big drill mole: Doryuuzu
Sarcophagus: Desukan
Spider: Denchura
Little mole: Moguryu
The other three (The grass thingy, the blue and red steel thingy, and the lolita) never had their names shown so they can't be translated. Fail.
Gen 1: The start of EPICNESS
Gen 2: Some more EPICNESS, wait wut ZOMG Breeding!
Gen 3: Double Battles you say.. WOOOO!
Gen 4: 493 Pokemon you say, A lot of legendaries.. FOR THE DS YOU SAY? OMG EPIC!
Gen 5: 600 Pokemon? Triple Battles? EPIC Legendaries. WOAAAAAAHH THE LEVEL OF EPICNESS IS OVER 9000!!!!!!
Edited by The Spirit of Time: Do I sense Pokemon with 3 types in gen 6?
Please no double-post!
As per usual, I'm almost appalled by these newly-revealed pokemon. That's how I initially felt about mijumaru, but now I think it's adorable. Hopefully I'll warm up to these as well.
I'm not too excited about triple battles. They seem... I don't know... superfluous. How often did you see double battles over the past two generations? Not frequently enough to make you seriously consider it while assembling a team (not me, anyway).
But, that's assuming these multi-battles are handled the same way as they have in the past. If, for example you were able to have one pokemon act as a shield to another one (without the use of Follow Me), then I'd be a bit more psyched.
