Only cause I have an OC in this Pokemon comic that I want to do (although it probably won't ever get done let alone started) and her name is Reina.

It's a cute name (better then "Hilda" and "Hilbert," no offense to anyone possibly named that), and it would fit...but just for personal reasons it would frustrate me to no end that of all the names Nintendo could've picked, it had to be one I had in mind and set in stone for one of my characters. Lawl. I mean, I realize that many people/characters are named Reina, but for Pokemon to use it, which the story my character comes from is based/a fanstory from? Gah.

Anyway, I've heard some fans have already called them "Ebony" and "Ivory." I personally kind of like those names. Nice homage to Black and White. Doubt it'll be used in the games, but maybe in the manga. But Reina's nice.

That's what I was thinking. Though I had forgotten about ebony and thought of Onyx instead but we have a pokemon called that so it wouldn't work. Ebony and Ivory are lovely names though and I think that most likely will become their English fan-names. That would leave the rival without a name, but I bet he'll be Gray.

Well, I'm sure he'll get a canon name. Maybe not. Last time our rivals didn't have edit-able names, so who knows.

Oh I figure he will. And since this time we don't have two 'friends' I want to know what the manga is going to do with them. But their fan names make a lot of sense being Ebony, Ivory and gray.(gray doesn't quite fit with the other two, but I can't really think of another name that fits better unless there's a word for gray that's more fancy like the other two)

btw, whoever said the ice is just hiding stuff, you may be right. I still like the idea of uncovering it as you go though. That'd just be a really fun element to an already awesome game.

Well, I heard of "Monochrome" but I don't know about that.

As for the ice thing, who knows. It'd be neat and/or interesting though.

That seems like an odd and long name for someone. Not to mention it doesn't look like it'd fit him. idk, we'll see.

Nintendo knows ;P but here's a better pic of the new map and you can clearly see stuff under the map. There's no way we'll not be able to go there at some point in the game. I can't wait to see what it holds for us.

I don't think Unova is frozen they're just using ice to conceal new stuff.

I've heard some rumors that the MC's names are Homika(boy) and Hana(girl). I know Hana means flower, but I've no idea on 'Homika'. That's just.....weird. Unless that has some special meaning that's just stupid sounding. I'm sticking to Ebony and Ivary tank yu vawy much.

Well, there's no way that rumor's true because the poison gym leader's name is Homika, the water gym leader's name is Shizui, and the professor's name is Akuroma. I don't think they would use the same name for two characters within the same game.

The person who told me must have gotten it wrong then. Makes me glad cause I never remember the gym leader's original names. I still can't wait to see what their names really are.

New Trailer~ it really doesn't show much new stuff. It just looks cool =P you can see a bit of the opening in it though.

Found this thought I'd share it.

Ugh, someone posted sprites of the MCs with the starters following them on Tumblr and I got so excited, haha.
I really hope they reuse the mechanic from HG/SS again.

Yep! I can't WAIT to get a Leafeon! :D that is...if they put a new forest for us to have a new stone. They'd better! And btw, The cave you're thinking of is Chargestone cave and the entrance is gone/blocked off.(at least that's what I've read, I thought I saw the cave in the pic but maybe not)

btw,there's a rumor that the girl's name is Reina! That's so pretty, is it not?

Electric Stone Cave=Japanese name of Chargestone Cave.

Woah... is the new male gym leader really tanned or what? Not that it really matters but I just noticed he had white feet.
