I do like how 'lumbering' Black Kyurem looks. It's arms and posture are almost ape-like. And the way the energy flows through the overdrive tubes is kind of neat.
Was hoping we'd get all new wild battle music, but I'm cool with a remix. I guess it makes sense.
i was hoping the player's pokemon's sprites would be fixed so that they're not zoomed in. it really distorts the original image and makes it look worse than the other ds pokemon games.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it is GameFreaks motto. Though, seeing Dragon Quest: Jokers have full 3D battles with all kinds of critters, makes me want a Poke'mon game in that fashion. Not to mention that Jokers was on the DS, if GameFreak did something like that with the 3DS, it would be gorgeous...
I can see why they don't want to do it though,. It would be jarring to animate all 656+ Poke'mon and all their forms and different gender and have an animation for every move they can perform and outside battle HM use and then they would need a world in full 3D to match this change. It would take a lot to do.
But still, if they took the time not to make crappy spin offs and the other 90% unnecessary stuff they do we don't care about like Poke'mon tretta and the like, they would have been done with the game we want a long time ago, or if not, in the midst of it. I say they don't know how and they're scared to, because if they mess it up it may ruin the whole series....which I doubt...
They're not doing it because they don't need to. All that is required is a few changes here and there and the games will still sell like hotcakes. Why go out of your way to make it better when it's not necessary?

Don't you mean 649 or are we counting Forme Changes?
Still, I think GameFreak would still stick with 2D sprites on 3DS. Something about the appeal of 2D or something. There's always the Genius Sonority games but they'd have to really step their game up now since Black and White has a dynamic camera and a faster pacing (for example, weather effects do not take up extra lines of battle dialog i.e. Line one "The Sandstorm still rages." Line 2: "Lopunny is buffeted by by the sandstorm" are no longer in game).

Did you PLAY Black or White? The pacing has really improved since Generation IV, even with the animations on. It's hard to notice at a lower level but later on the game, battling and leveling up go by quickly.
They both look badass~
I just wonder how much they will be in the games~ ^^
I like what they did to the Battle Theme. It'd be great if the rest of the B/W 1 music was like this.

Poor Serperior!
You are now the official poke-punching bag.
The sprites for the Kyurems... Personally, I think they look like a mess of pixels. Especially Black Kyurem. D:
I love White Kyurem. But he still looks kinda like a mess.

@selloutwithme
It's the price for animating it.
I still don't know which one to get if I owned white. funny vid and reminds of the old days of OHKO Drill pecks from Zapdos.
I hate Pokemon, but love some of its music. It's awesome what they did to the battle theme. Are they making an OST for BW2? I'd get it.

Both are one hit KO's. lol
I can't say I'm too excited about how these forms look, the other ones looked better imo.
