Pokemon Black & White: Something New

Something I never thought would happen for the fact that there are only six Pokemon in a Trainers' party is Triple Battles.

As someone who enjoys Double Battles more than Singles, you'd think that Triple Battles would be right up my alley... but I'm not really sure I'd enjoy a literal 3-on-3 encounter. I think they made the right choice when going for a Doubles environment in battles, as it makes sense that a Trainer would be able to maintain control of two Pokemon in battle at the same time, as well as making a wonderful change of pace for battles.

With Triple Battles, it just feels like they're trying to one-up themselves or prove that with the latest game, they can do it. That they can let people use half of their team in a single turn. While it would bring up lots of pretty interesting possibilities in terms of strategies, I'm just not convinced that it is a battle format that I'll be comfortable with. But with that, I thought the same about Double Battles and I got into those easily enough.

Another thing that is a bit iffy is the sprite distribution. I think it might be a little crammed with the sprites. But that's just me.

Random WiFi Battles on a main hand held Pokemon game is what we've undoubtedly been waiting for since PBR came along and showed us it was possible. At the very least, its a feature I've been wanting to see in the games since before Platinum (when I got PBR, quite a while before Platinum's European release, at least) and can finally get it, come Spring 2011. Looking forward to it.

There's apparently a save file feature, where you 'upload' your file to Nintendo's servers, play some games online or something and get some stuff on your game for your efforts. Sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

I think that's about it... there'll probably be another entry either when CoroCoro's next issue is leaked, most likely next week, or whenever anything else is revealed. I'll save Hatooboo (the apparent evolution of Mamepato), Kibago (the Larvitar/Gible-like Pokemon that I'm sure will be the basic stage of Ononokusu) and other Pokemon stuff until then. That way, they'll be confirmed, and maybe I'll have more Pokemon to talk about?
I certainly hope so.
