Pokemon Special BW

It seems that PokeSpe Black and White might be out soon, I found some pictures. I wonder if Cheren or Belle will be dexholders, it's gonna be different since there are two rivals this time round.










There's more on the netkun site if you click on

Whoa....cool. Wish I could read the rest of the D/P arc, Platinum and HG/SS though...Damn Viz! *pout*

Not sure what to say, except that I really really really want to read them. But it's always interesting to see how Satoshi tries to redesign the characters. But with B/W supposedly being a really indepth game...the characters are going to be pretty much set in stone...I hope Hidenori Kusaka comes up with a good plot.

yikes that kid needs to start eating something other than liquid lunches!

Belle's eyelashes are freaking me out. D:

Otherwise this looks pretty cool.

That and Black still looks like an Uke to me, so all is well. =w=d

Who do you think will be dexholders since there's Black, White, Cheren, Bel and N could end up being one.

Wait, is D/P finished already in Japan? *smacks head*

I sorta don't like Black's design in this one. The long-ish hair did it. DX

That's an interesting question as to who the Dexholders will be...my bet would be on Black-White-N, tho'. Do you think they're gonna change N's name, as I don't think there'll be, err, 'Pokemon N'?

I think DP is finished or so I heard on Serebii and HGSS and Platinum will be replaced by BW in November, so the rest of those arcs will be continued in the volumes.

=_=; aaaargh....man, I wanna finish reading the DP arc and then read the PPT arc and then I wanna be able to buy the HGSS and BW volumes in japan town....GRRRR...

Maybe the Platinum or HGSS arc will be finished before BW starts...I haven't read any of the DP arc because I want it to finish first cause I'm not a very patient person lol.

*dies and faints* This is going to be SOOOO good I mean seriously why are people so negative O_O I can't wait

Here's the previews on Netkun, btw. Got some HG/SS stuff there too.

ARGHHH! I haven't even finished reading DP, and they're already at BW! Not to mention P and HGSS!

Curse you viz, for shutting down mangafox!
*sits in corner drawing circles on ground with finger

well, at least black and white looks good! That storyline is going to be great! I wonder how they'll make it come to life! The black and white storyline in the game is radically different after all! (But in a good way!)

Wow, Lance sure looks different from what he did in the Yellow arc XD Almost didn't recognize him at first XD

Wait, that's lance? Well I wouldn't be surprised after years of craziness and age. I don't mind Black's design, N is worse. I think the only problem is the fan-girls will go crazy over the feminine looking males...that's how it always is. Anyway, can't wait to see what the plot is for this region.

Wait a second I don't see white.

well, she only appears in the battle subway if not selected.

I think you're talking about the game, we're discussing the comic.


And if you don't see white she probably comes in later on like Saphire, Green and Blue, and Platinum.

The chapters aren't chronological in the netkun site or with the pics I done. Maybe she'll do a Blue or Crystal - appear later on in the story.

I think she meant that they think the character won't appear until the Battle Subway's featured in the story.

For all we know though, "White" could be one of the rival's names instead (ala Pearl) and the female hero will be introduced and named after the third version.

Well, according to what the internet says. White is the female protagonist and black is the male protagonist, so she can't be out of the manga too long. I would assume Gray would appear later on though.

Edit: Here's wikipedia's input: Black, White, and Gray

They are the new protagonists of Pokemon Adventures. Black owns a Pokabu, White owns a Tsutaaja, and Gray owns a Mijumaru. Black's design is based on the male character of Pokémon Black and White. White's design is based on the female player. Gray is based on one of the rivals, it being Cheren.

And then there's Bel, the rival no-one likes. XDD
I think that the female player character will pull a Wally and just show up when
the situation arises, not being a real dexholder.
I also think Bel will be dubbed White (Bel means white in Russian)
, but meh, *shruggs*

Well I'm sure White, Grey, and Black will be the dex holders, there hasn't been a character that didn't have a dex and a color in their name besides Yellow, and even she still got one before they turned to stone.

I sure hope Bel will NOT be dubbed 'White'. In fact, I won't really-like-it if they replace White with...anyone. Her character design is too good to be passed out like that, IMO.

Edit: Oh, nevermind. There IS a separate character for White, afterall.

I wonder how Hidenori and Yamamoto are coping with the amount of series they have to do simultaneously. o.O

Well they said in wkipedia her design is based off the female character in the games...so I really don't think Belle will be White.

If anything, either Belle or the female hero will be named Clear.
