I preordered Black.

As a matter of fact, Black and White got me back into playing Pokemon after a 10-year hiatus. They're THAT revolutionary! I also went to the mall tour in Philly yesterday and it was PACKED with crazy Poke-geeks of all ages.

I'm starting with snivy! I think some of the new pokemon are kind of ugly, but there are a lot of awsome new ones that make up for that. Also i'm getting zorua! :D without hacking!!

I got a Japanese Pokemon Black game, and it is a great game, and I took me quite long to complete it too, even though I skiped quickly through the text (because I don't understand Japanese)

If my Wi-Fi is working then, if anyone wants a Japanese Pokemon to use in their English game that I can easily catch then, please ask me!

I know I'm a bit older than people would expect for someone that likes Pokemon, but I love collecting things, especially digital things, so Pokemon suits me really well. I also really like the simple structure of the battling systems (strengths, weaknesses, special attacks, etc.) and how it can be as complex as you want it to be. Plus, I'm reluctantly fond of just grinding in random battles to level my Pokemon. I usually like the ones that most people don't like because they aren't the most powerful ones. I like rooting for the underdog.

Honestly, the Pokemon look all right; they can't really compete with the originals because there wasn't a precedent for them.

Anyway, I usually start with the fire one and it amuses me that it's a pig this time. I'm considering naming it "Bacon" or "Chops" or something relatively tongue-in-cheek amusing.

I've somehow managed to control myself and wait for the English releases and I'm really excited to finally play them. I work on Sundays so I preordered White on Amazon so I'll get it on Tuesday.

thats how I am. I like collecting them all in general, ugly to awesome. Even if my favorite pokemon in this new set is i think a popular one i still like it xD. I like battling other people more then random battles. i normally start with fire types but this time i'm going to start with a grass type, it looks like a snake :D lol *stating the obvious i kno*

I hear ya. The DS/games don't generally support WPA2 wireless encryption, which I use because it's the best commercially available encryption type. As someone that works in network security a lot of the time, I've seen the downfalls of poor encryption so I refuse to change it. I hope you're successful though! We'll have to battle sometime.

I know my internet security setting have dissalowed being able to do the online thing, I think it would also be great if I manage to figure out how to get on my own so I can actually enjoy all those extra bits.

I can't wait to get it. One day me and my friend looked up the new pokemon and couldn't get over how cool they look. Cofagrigus and Zebstrika look awesome. I also like how Serperior looks. I might actually pick a grass pokemon as my starter, though I'm used to picking the fire types.

i think alot of people choose fire as a starting type, but normally they look either cute or cool but this time its the grass that looks awesome. xD

I have been hooked on Pokemon since my kids were little lol! I had pre-ordered (and fully paid) for White, just because I love the look of that legendary! Actually making big X's on my calendar counting down the days til Sunday!! I had informed my boyfriend that he BETTER be here early on Sunday so I can get to GameStop 5 minutes before they open so I can get my copy, hopefully the first one lol!
