Let Me Show You These Pokémon
Is your middle school prepared for this many pocket monsters? Because holy crap, there are like 156 of them in this collage of in-game 2D sprites from the recently released in Japan Pokémon Black & White.
I'm going to be real honest with you: My main sources of Pokémon knowledge are internet memes involving cats, Robot Chicken's inappropriate use of Squirtle, and the fact that typing that word so freaking often throughout my professional career has beaten the Mac key combo for the forward-accented "é" into my head (option-e, then e).
So I'm the wrong person to ask whether Nature types are as overpowered in Pokémon Black & White as they traditionally have been, or whether Charmander is as awesome as his rarity would suggest.
I can, however, confirm that Squirtle still sounds vaguely dirty and continues to be a godsend for comedy writers.
Commence making fun of my lack of Pokémon knowledge in the comments below...now.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
