I didn't mean the map was completely frozen over. I meant that what was shown as frozen over is too much--the regional dex is like twice the size of the last one, and there's so much less land to put eight gyms and more Pokemon on. I think they are just using it as a cover-up on the map, so people can't see how different the other parts of the region look because the did the same thing with Platinum only with clouds.
I only hope that this game does combine BW and BW2 into one epic story. I do want TP to come back only I hope they aren't quite as weak this time and they have a slightly changed goal. Maybe they are doing scientific things? I don't really care if N comes back at all, although I know he will because I was never really into even if I did feel bad for him at the end. I prefer when the evil team is a tad more bad « Mr.Gourmet's hat » than this one was--TG is a good example--so I am hoping to see Ghetsis and the Shadow Triad again. I would also like to Concordia and Anthea, but not as evil because them seemed very nice. Perhaps they could help out in some way. I feel like they did so well with storyline and characters in the last game that this one may have just as much in the same way.
I hope we can battle Hilda/Hilbert at some point. Hilda if you're playing as a girl or Hilbert as a boy.
Anywho, all the characters they've revealed thus far look really good to me. I wish we knew the default names of the MCs and rival. We might find out when Pokemon Smash airs though, since there's supposed to be a trailer. I wish they would stop making rivals childhood friends though. They use that way too much. It would be nice to meet your rival along the way. They feel more like a rival that way as opposed to "we're friends, let's battle!"
Maybe. I just don't like mixing game and anime canon. They're totally different and really don't mix.
That's why I said that maybe over time we'll be able to 'save' these areas and 'fix' the problem. And I could actually see them doing something like showing how nature affects the ecosystem. I mean, something weird is happening and is messing with the balance of nature. Maybe Team Plasma are trying to get Kyurem(and ended up making the two new things we have now, black kyurem and white kyurem) and this is causing all of nature to go out of whack. I mean, Plasma was made after PETA, so it would make sense. (plus the pokepocoalypse theory.) Not to mention, they have to have some sort of frozen over place. I mean, we've been told that your home town has been moved to the other size of the land to get away from it. They wouldn't do that if that land was still habitable.
It's a sequel, they kinda have to. It wouldn't be a sequel if they didn't
I could see that Wheatly-looking prof. doing something weird. He look a little too cool to just be a normal prof who gives you your starters. There has to be something more with him. And the reason they weren't so badass is cause they were based on PETA, not a real gang. The reason team rocket were so cool was they were based on the real Japanese Yakuza(much like the Italian Mafia only Japanese) And Concordia and Anthea weren't evil. They were in the same boat as N if I remember. They only had an idea of what his father was trying to do but wanted what N wanted, that's why they helped you and were so nice.
That would be cool. I did love getting to battle with Silver before.(well, I do ship Silver/Kotone >w> But I think this time I'm going to ship MCXMC! I almost never do that! I've always been more for MC/rival o.o)
Same here. I'm tired of calling them MC! I want a name! And I bet it'll be cute, just like Kotone, Hikari,Touko, ext. I bet it'll also end in ko too.(ko means child in JP and is often at the end of girl's names) And yea, I think that's why Silver is so popular. He was a badass rival! Plus this kid looks kinda like a Silver-wannabe so maybe he's not a 'friend'(cause he looks a bit mean to be a friend. Most friends look a bit nicer)

Yeah, I always liked Kris's outfit. I'm not too fond of the girl MC this time around, but that's because I really wanted to play as Hilda/Hilbert again....
This game is really turning out to be like XD:Gale of Darkness. Changed protag, new areas added, a few years on from the last game, old evil team returning (I presume), some old characters replaced with new ones, etc.
Maybe BW2 will be awesome as heck, I don't know.
And it's OK, everyone has different opinions. I just find that in a lot of places, people hate the MC's of the games because of their manga/anime counterparts, which is stupid, because the purpose of the MC''s to me is to imagine a personality for them. For example, I think Leaf is cool-headed and likes being mysterious, Kris is adventurous and a little bit smart-alecky, Lyra is happy-go-lucky and a tad hyperactive, May is easily anxious and strong-willed, Dawn is clever and occasionally excitable when it comes to battling, Hilda is reckless and brave, Solana is passionate and independent, Kate is very shy but friendly, Summer is stubborn and smart...you get the deal. 
I personally hope that you can fight Hilda and Hilbert in a double battle with your rival on your side.
That was my point
A uniform is made to be practical.
Well, I liked the kind of outfit she had, but I never really
liked it. It matches the 'time' that game is made in and gives the game a special feel, but the outfit it's self I never quite liked. I think it was the colors. Some colors just don't fit right together. and it was kinda obvious we wouldn't play as the same characters. We never really do. Even when we get a remake, the characters are always changed.(everyone wanted to play as Kris again but instead we got Kotone.)
Is that a bad thing? I liked XD...
Oh yea, at first almost no one is usually happy with the characters. It's kinda like a new FB or YT thing. Everyone hates it at first, and then they get used to it and calm down. And yes, that's what I do too, but I go by what they're wearing and how they look. Usually, their face gives me a sort of air-head impression, and the girls outfits, if not practical make me think they're too 'fashion forward' to really think about what will be needed to go on an adventure. To me, Leaf seemed like your average girl who wanted to be cute, and wore a skirt without anything under it. That's rather stupid when you have to climb things, or fly away on your pokemon cause ~everyone~ will see your panties, and that's not a smart move. Otherwise, Leaf seemed ok to me. Kris really seemed like her manga-self to me, other than the light air-headedness she was given. Kotone really seemed very peppy and someone who would annoy the snot out of Silver, but still have the determination that Kris had. May to me seemed very smart, wearing biker shorts in a tropical place. She seemed sensible and strong, much like Cheren but without the weird power complex. Dawn just seemed like she'd be all happy with her new cute pokemon, trip, hurt herself and cry like Sailor Moon always did. She just seemed like a ditzy cry baby to me. Not the kind of character I want to play. Touko seemed like a back-ally girl with street-smarts and able to take on the adventure at hand. The others you mention...I don't know who they are. I never played the ranger games minus the first one.
That does seem fun. And I almost hope, if we don't have someone like Belle/Cheren(sorry for mixing the JP and EN names, I don't remember all the EN ones) I wonder if the MC you don't pick will be your 'friend' and if this other dude will come by to take the last one. I hope he's not a friend, and an actual rival this time. He really doesn't look like he'd be much of a childhood-friend. More like, at the least a kid in town who's an outcast or he just moved in so you don't know him. Something.(it'd be kinda lame if they did the whole Silver thing and make him steal it :/)
since the info came out. XD
