Pokemon for 3DS - Disappointed pokemon fans complain.

Intro

OK, don't get me wrong here. Pokemon Black and White 2 are pretty awesome games, and weren't anything short of what I expected from them, but lots of fans think that it's time for the jump from DS to 3DS in the Pokemon franchise. 

This may actually be quite a task, even for nintendo due to massive 3D rendering capabilities on the system, it might take over a year to program a game that is extremely innovative and amazing.

Rumors

There are 2 primary things that Pokemon players are anticipating now; both on DS and 3DS systems alike. Here they are.

  1. Pokemon: Ruby & Sapphire Remakes
  2. Pokemon: Gray Version
Conclusion

Both of these situations may be pretty logical, but knowing Nintendo's enigmatic patterns, we may not even have a clue at what's coming next. So I guess the 3DS users just have to see how this one plays out, and hopefully wait for their turn to have a spot in the developing Pokemon game family, just as the GBA gave way for the DS.

Pokemon World Tournament: A neat battle experience!

The Pokemon World Tournament is a tournament in which gym leaders (and other trainers) from all previous games compete in, and can be battled as a result. This facility is a new feature in Pokemon: Black and White Versions 2.


This feature is meant for many fans of the previous games, as you can battle people like Champion Red, Leader Volkner, Leader Blaine, And Champion Cynthia. This also means that the soundtracks have been updated, so you can finally hear official revamped versions of the Hoenn Gym Leader and Champion Themes. Furthermore, you can download special events that let you battle the winners of the pokemon tournament and their teams as well.

In the main story of the game, you also have a chance to join in on the tournament with Gym Leader Cheren and your Rival.

This is a fun new mode in Pokemon that will maybe bring back a lot of Hoenn-oriented fans, so the only thing we can do is wait for the English release!

Pokemon Anime Failure - GARY OAK.

Here's a hilarious error made on Pokemon TV:

This picture is from one of  the episodes of the first season of Pokemon depicting Gary Oak trolling the Kanto Pokemon league. But first, take a look yourself!



Did you laugh? Here's a meter on how sane you are based on this picture.

  1. You Laughed: You are normal
  2. You were Clueless: Why are you even on this site?
  3. You smiled:You're Ok.
  4. You frowned: You're one of the guys who made the episode, aren't you?

Exo Recommends: Pokemon Lab

While playing the pokemon game, did you find that battling was the main source of entertainment? Then you should really try Pokemon Lab.

There are tons of strong people waiting for battle on all of the servers, and better yet, you can make your own team from bottom to top! You can make them all Lv. 100, (Which are the levels of most of the users) or, if you think you are really good, make them LV. 85 or lower! It really is a challenge, and it's fun too! My username is Exosmash, by the way.


The application is really easy to use, too! Here's a quick instructional guide to get you battling right away.


  1. Download The Pokemon Lab app from PokemonLab.com. The app is available for both mac and PC
  2. Unarchive the .zip file
  3. Open up the app and make an account
  4. Go to one of the servers on the list, any of them are fine. For me, only the server pokemonexperte is available.
  5. Click File, then team builder.
  6. Make and save your team.
  7. challenge someone to a battle
  8. load your team, and let them load theirs.
  9. FIGHT!
That's how you battle online without a DS. Happy battling!

Are You a MAJOR Pokemon fan?

ExoRecommends: Pokestadium

If you answered yes to that question, this new article may interest you. There is now a most interesting way to create trainer cards for yourself and new species on Pokestadium. At Pokestadium.com, the trainer card function is really cool and features most of all the sprites from pokemon Black and White, along with some other ones too. It includes all of the National dex pokemon, (even Unova), and in my opinion, the best one out there. It has a really nice organized format, and looks pretty good too. Here are some samples:






I've seen a lot of trainer card makers but this one has to be the best. Another cool thing about this website is that you can literally make new pokemon species. Take a look at some of the final products from this creator below!




As you can see, these are all really innovative creations, and that Pokestadium is actually a cool website to check out.

Pokemon Black and White 2 Roms

Looking for Pokemon Black and White 2?

If you are one of the types of people who wants the game way before it releases, I took the liberty of finding the roms of Pokemon Black and White 2. The Roms have been partially patched to english, so have fun with them a bit! The game functions pretty well, and I think that it's a significant improvement over Pokemon Black and White Versions.

Pokemon Black and White 2 is a definite change from Black and White Versions, and one can notice that quickly. For one, the Player character's designs have been revamped and given even more ridiculous hair. (My attempt at humor). The gym leader set has also changed, featuring an old friend from Black and White. You might also recognize the lady who gives you your initial starter pokemon.

The Gym Leaders in Pokemon: Black and White Versions.

Overall, this is a really fun game, and remember: This game is only partially patched, so a lot of it is still in Japanese. This is worth it if you are desperate.

Here is the website:

Pokemon Conquest - An interesting spinoff!



Nintendo has released a new type of Pokemon game! Quite different from the series, Pokemon Conquest has brought a new gameplay experience to the Pokemon family. Similar to the battling system of the Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon series, this game may serve as the start of a new set of fans to Pokemon.



The game's boxart shows various "Warlords" that the player must
 battle to progress in the game.


Pokemon Conquest features a way to control your own Pokemon while fighting enemies located in dungeons along the story. You must find allies by defeating them in the region of Ransei. The main villain of the game is Warlord Nobunaga, paired with Zekrom. You must defeat a set of other warlords and strategically station your troops so you are not conquered by other warlords during your rule. It is, overall a fun game and requires a type of  intellect not introduced in the Pokemon franchise before.
The warlord Nobunaga


The Player, a male or female warlord begins the game partnered with a fairly powerful Eevee, and is aided by the female Oichi. One must venture into dungeons to find items and allies to your cause. Lots of items are still used in this game, such as potions and berries. However, there are warrior skills a pokemon may know. A good tip for you is that if you are battling with Oichi on your team, you may select her Jigglypuff's warrior menu, then choose the move sweet song. This will restore 50 HP on all of your pokemon, including Jigglypuff. This is useful when one is stalling out a Warlord or Dungeon.

Clearly, Pokemon Conquest is a refreshing change to all of the Pokemon Rpgs that Nintendo has been releasing. Overall, I think that this is a good change, and Nintendo managed to pull it off with flying colors. Congrats on the game, and it is a game worth buying.



I would rate this game 7/10 for great gameplay and originality, but it could use a little more of that "I'm a king" Kind of feeling.
