If you're going to deny yourself a game based on story and music, then so be it.  I'm not you but I personally think it's foolish to count a game out just because of that.

Holy crap, this game has video chat?

I didn't mean story really. I meant gameplay mechanics and content. Imagine if every Final Fantasy was FF1 with better graphics, characters renamed and the world laid out differently. That would be OK for the first few times, but for the fifth time in a row...

But video game music is more important to me than the games itself, since I don't listen to any music with words in and video game music is therefore the only music I can buy or listen to.

I agree it's only affecting me and no one else if I choose not to.

Then why point out that something new isn't part of the main story?

Your words were: "The non-battle portions of the game has hardly changed since Red/Blue". That is not true many things have been added since the first generation, just because you do not utilize them doesn't mean they do no exist.

As for gameplay mechanics: holding items, steel and dark types, abilities, double-battles, weather conditions, changing how attack damage is calculated based on the attack itself instead of its type, triple battles, etc.

Interesting information.

It almost sounds like there is no evil team this time just one guy? I'm sure that's not right but I think it's about time they ditched the 'evil' team plot. Really hopeful this is the first game to make big changes to the plot.

Here's a funny thought: N's cause seems to be almost noble. Liberating PKMN from trainers that regard their PKMN as little more than housepets/beasts-of-burden/food sources/means-to-an-end seems to be a very honorable goal, at least on the surface. The only thing that could (and probably will) bring dishonor to his cause is the means by which he intends to achieve his ends. Of course, I have gone into further detail regarding this in another thread that I made. I'm not gonna provide a link because that particular thread seems to be dying a slow death, and I have every intention of letting nature run its course. If someone else would provide a link to it, however, I wouldn't mind.

These games will probably be the BEST generation in the series. So many features and soo many unique Pokemon.

If anybody wants to view the Live Caster video chat

And the next issue of CoroCoro will be released on 11th August, so expect new info on the games then.

Sort of off topic, but I was just thinking, it's really amazing how much Japan has changed over the last 100 years. The entire country used to be so...different than they are now.

I'm not really all that interested in getting Black/White. I want a change in the story set up and progression of the game before I gain my interest back.
