Pokemon Black & White: Seasonal Advantage

At the moment, I don't really have time to talk about the many Pokemon that have been released recently... so you'll have to settle for my thoughts on a few of the features that are to be included in Pokemon Black and White.

I think at this moment in time, I'll talk about the seasonal changes.

This is probably the next best change that could be made to the Pokemon games and has probably been a long time coming, too-- Generation II was the last time we had something like this added to the games, in the form of a night and day mechanic, so in some ways, Generation V could be the Generation II of modern Pokemon games. Looking at it like that gives me the hope of Pokemon Black & White being really good games.

Apparently each season will last about a month, and to be fairly honest, that sounds like a good amount of time to have each season last for in a game-- it gives players a chance to experience the games at different times of the year without having to wait real-time seasons to do it.
I'll not talk about Shikijika in this entry, because I'd rather talk about it in the Pokemon entry that I'll make later, but the fact that seasons are now coming into play in the Pokemon games just makes me smile and hope that there will be plenty to do with each one. Maybe there are events that occur in-game that only occur in each season or something. I think that would be pretty cool.

Oh, and another note on Team Plasma, from the last entry-- most probably don't know, but in my experimental stages, I've actually been writing a Poke'fic to work on my writing. Funnily enough, one of the options I'd chosen for the obligatory villainous team was actually Team Plasma-- and this was back in December of last year, when nothing had really been said about Pokemon Black & White. (heck, I don't think it was even announced back then) I'm just really glad I didn't end up going with the name, because as of this moment, the Teams' name actually hasn't been used in the story yet and would have just looked like I copied it from the latest announcements of the games if I were to.

Anyway, my next entry will either be about some more features of Generation V or it will actually be about the Pokemon I am yet to talk about.

Until then, have fun.
